Need: It was actually a single bud vase that held a white rose. I recall that I used that florist's service at least two or three times.

Sorry that your roads are so bad. Does your county have an app where you can report potholes to be repaired? We do, among other things such as debris/dumped trash violation.

It's been two hours since the WTF posts, hopefully they've moved on now.😒

Smoke has moved into my region and is supposed to hang around for the next few days (we had worst air in Ontario yesterday, yay). I'm almost out of clean clothes but have been waiting for all the rain to pass so I can hang my laundry out on the line, now I'm not sure what to do.

Llama,

Yes, we can report bad roads, some roads have been repaired but we have always had bad roads.

I looked up non tipping vases online. That’s the way to go. I thank you for this information.

Rest in peace, Ryan Mallett, (former NFL player) and others who died in the riptides in Panama City Beach.

Several people have died in the riptides. So sad. I went to this beach every summer with my family growing up. My father grew up in this area.

We love going to the gulf coast and have gone many times. The riptides are dangerous and can be deadly. My dad always checked the safety status of the beach before he allowed us to swim in the gulf.

The jellyfish can be bad also. When the purple flag is flying it signifies that there are lots of jellyfish present in the water. The green, yellow and red flags are for the riptides.

Golden - despite all the dire weather warnings we've had the wind shift to the north west so it's been a beautiful day here.

Crazy airport delays recently! My daughter is flying to Denver for the Fourth. I hope that she won’t experience the flight cancellations and delays that are happening right now.

Golden,

Yes, Panama City Beach. We went there every summer growing up. My dad grew up in that area.

Riptides are dangerous. When the double red flags are blowing, people need to stay out of the Gulf of Mexico.

Need - very sad. I was once in a strong current and it was very scary fighting to get to shore. It's not the same as a rip tide but still dangerous. I never swam there again.

That had to be frightening, Golden. I haven’t experienced any kind of dangerous current. I went tubing down the river in Tickfaw, Louisiana with my friends when I was younger.

I had a friend who was a world traveler. He came to Louisiana from France with barely any money.

He ended up being a chef in local restaurants. He had big dreams.

Oh, how I miss him. That French accent! His beautiful adventurous spirit always made me smile.

Anyway, eventually he invested in two businesses. Both were successful and he loved traveling all over the world.

He died white water rafting in Ecuador. When the boat turned over he immediately rushed to save his son. He was able to save his son but lost his life in the process.

Need: I may have misled you on the vase. It was more of the way the florist packaged the vase in a type of square-ish cardboard container that allowed for a snug fit on the vase. You're welcome.


That is good that you can report bad roads/pot holes. I presently have a bunch of things reported using see click fix 311.

Llama,

Oh, I misunderstood what you meant.

Well, I learned about vases that are difficult to tip over. It was interesting. The article that I read showed how museums display their valuables so they are stable.

Need: That was on me. The florist configured the flower in a bud vase with a cardboard container.

I started watching 'Take care of Maya'
Its a documentary on Netflix. Quite interesting

Ever taken a nap and woken up completely confused? It’s only happened twice in my life. Some years ago I had a nap, woke up and had really no idea where I was. And today I had a nap, woke up and really thought it was tomorrow morning already! Actually, it was a 30-minute nap that felt like 19 hours.

I found Take Care of Maya interesting as well.

Of special interest is that the ketamine treatment is so very dangerous, done only in Mexico, can in fact be deadly, and that the girl has recovered to the place she is today WITHOUT IT.

I honestly don't know what to say about all this. I worked with people from Poland and from Russia. They are very adamant and forthcoming in their manner of speech and westerners unfamiliar with them can easily become offended with their "style" at times. I also think the Mom despite her training wasn't cognizant of just what can happen here. Thought she was in a more "free" country than she was.

A tragedy. And as the newspaper woman said, these cases are often not black and white.
Certain the doctor that said the child should be taken from the mom, and the nurse who watched over her came across as EXCEPTIONALLY unpleasant women.

It is disturbing that this seems now still to be so obsessively eating up the lives of these sweet kids.

VERY INTERESTING Catskie, I agree.

venting,

I find that I need to be fully awake after sleeping, before I speak to anyone.

If someone talks to me and I am not completely awake, I won’t remember a thing. Especially, if I fall back asleep before getting up.

My husband tells me about conversations that he had with me when I wasn’t fully awake that I have absolutely no recollection of.

He now writes notes and places them on the kitchen counter if it is something important.

I think the scariest thing that I can remember about sleep is that many years ago I experienced sleep paralysis. That’s extremely weird!

Occasionally, I walk in my sleep. Only once that I can recall. I woke myself up and that is very confusing. I didn’t understand what was happening. The tip of my finger touched the blade of a fan and the thump woke me up. I was a young girl. My mom put extra locks on the doors so I wouldn’t walk outside. LOL 😆

Years ago, we lived in a townhouse, the bedroom was upstairs and I was continually sleep walking. My husband was terrified that I would tumble down the stairs. Of course, I never remember any of it happening because I am sleeping.

Need: You're very welcome. I had seen that television show before, but it described perfectly what you were telling me about your bad roads. It also encompassed some humor.

venting: No, because I can never take naps - I would never fall asleep.

As an offside - I slept walk as a child, down a flight of stairs and shut off a tv.
