Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I also like the liberty mutual commercial with the dog walker. It’s cute too.
I am sick of the personal injury attorney commercials in my area!
Well, I think I would like to be having fun if I am going to have an accident. 😝
I have never been sledding. I would love to try it! Never been skiing either.
My cousin decided to jump out of an airplane when she turned 50. That was her birthday gift to herself. She loved it.
Merry Xmas everyone!!! And Happy New Year!!!
Sounhappy, that's actually exciting. Sounds like you will have decisions to make in the new year about career. Would love to hear your thoughts, what you have done, what you think you would LIKE to do, and etc. Change is so good for us, usually.
Also hoping you get your long awaited "just" decision.
Hope all take care and stay as well as you are able.
Yeah, that’s true, my confusion can lead to good change. I think I want something totally new.
In My Life
Release date: 03 December 1965
There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed.
Some forever, not for better;
Some have gone and some remain.
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall.
Some are dead and some are living,
In my life I've loved them all.
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you.
And these mem'ries lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new.
Tho' I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them,
In my life I love you more.
Tho' I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them,
In my life I love you more.
In my life I love you more.
Joy is shared....
What the....anybody heard of stunt doubles?
The film crew must have helped them up the hill again.
Those ladies were not that old.
Oh well…
Anyone else have a kid that asks for your opinion but no matter what is said to them they ignore you? 😆
Guess how I handled it? I walked out of the room and told her to figure it out for herself.
She’s a nervous wreck! She’s in this long distance relationship and her boyfriend wants to introduce her to his family. She’s excited to meet them but I swear she packed at least twice the amount of stuff that she needs!
I don’t know what she will do if she exceeded the weight limit of her suitcases but it’s her problem, right? I decided to stay home with her dog and let my husband drive her to the airport.
Plus, her boyfriend says that he is taking her shopping for her Christmas present when she arrives.
She is going to have to ship whatever she buys back to New Orleans. There is no possible way that she can fit anything else into her suitcases.
She thinks it is ridiculous that suitcases didn’t have wheels on them years ago. Maybe that is one reason why we never packed as much stuff years ago. We had to carry suitcases when we were her age.
Taking her shopping ……ring shopping ?
She can wear that home !!
I have a dog and cat arriving plus I have my own cat . 😬😬😬
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
Merry Christmas CWillie!
Be of good cheer, you have friends here!
We have the dog for a couple of weeks!
Eh…don’t think it is ring shopping at this point. They do make a cute couple. He visits New Orleans. She visits Denver. We met him and like him.
She said that his mom is excited to meet her. She is hanging a Christmas stocking for my daughter. She said that it was fun to shop for a girl. She has two sons.
Her boyfriend’s dad lives in Rhode Island.
The mom moved to Denver after they divorced. The dad remarried and had a daughter with his second wife. The sister lives in D.C.
Families don’t always live close to each other anymore. So often they are living many miles apart.
I wouldn’t be surprised if my daughter had issues at the airport. She is stubborn. She overpacks every time she travels.
When I ask her if she wears everything that she packs, she says, “No, Mom I don’t but I want it just in case.”
You can’t tell her anything. She’s not going to listen, so I walked out of the room and let her deal with her packing.
I love the photo of your cat. She is so cute.
Well my cat wants to play and my daughter’s cat doesn’t . 😬😬🙄.
I doubt I’m getting much sleep the next couple of nights until my daughter comes back from the future in law’s family . When my daughter is not here , both cats want to sleep in my room but my daughter’s cat does not want my cat in the same room as her .
My daughter got her cat when she was still living at home after college . So that cat lived with us for 2 years . She is not happy that there is another cat in our house , even though they know each other 3 years . My daughter’s cat remembers the house , every time she comes she goes right to my daughter’s old room to check it out . At least my daughter and fiancé kept the dog with them !! He will be coming when they come .
One of my daughter’s friends has a large poodle. My daughter’s dog gets along well with her dog.
They play together all the time but if she gives each dog a toy to play with they want the other dog’s toy!
It can be the identical kind of toy but for some reason they want the toy that the other dog has! I swear they are like little kids fighting over a toy.
Your cat is in competition with your daughter’s cat. They are funny!
You were organized! My daughter isn’t very organized when it comes to shopping for mix and match clothing or packing! She ends up packing too much stuff.
Plus, she shops when she reaches her destination. She buys more stuff and she has to figure out how to rearrange her suitcase to bring it back home with her.
I have seen her have to take clothes out of her suitcase at the airport and start tying sweaters around her waist to get onto the plane! She is a mess when it comes to packing.
I am going to pass along your travel tips to her for her next trip. If you would have seen how she packed for her trip to meet her boyfriend’s family for Christmas, I guarantee you would be shaking your head like I was. I had to leave the room.
She asked for my help with packing but ignored everything that I told her to do. She is an awful packer. She really is! 😆
I'm a chronic over-packer, but still better at it than some others I know who take *everything.* It always helps if you PLAN ahead, plan a color theme for clothes, and then take pieces that rotate to different events well. Does that make sense? I think I have a good strategy, but there's no substitute for planning ahead so that packing doesn't become a last-minute freak-out.

Hey all, you were On My Mind during Christmas time. I hope all who celebrated the holiday had a nice time.
Half of my family is acutely sick. My aunt was present at a get-together on the 23rd, then went to the ER the next day and was diagnosed with covid. Now my SIL and niece have it. I go to SIL's mom's on Christmas Day for several years now. I've known their family since I was a teen. Of course, my infected SIL was there, too, and now her mom and aunties have covid. SIL told her mom about the exposure, and the mom insisted they still come. I understand why. Her mom looks forward to having her extended family in her home once a year all together. But in hindsight, maybe this was the year to skip it, wear face masks, or *something.*
SIL's brother had to skip the get-together because he was so sick with pneumonia. It has been a heck of a year for all my coworkers getting sick... just seems like everyone is sick or has been.
I seem to have had a range of different probably-covid (never tested positive) and respiratory bugs over the past three months; plus, I got a flu shot and covid booster, so I figure I'm invincible for the rest of the season. Does it work that way..? I continue with Airborne supplements, Source Naturals Wellness Formula, oil of oregano, and sinus plumber (a horseradish/cayenne/wintergreen spray that's a good alternative to addictive and drying decongestants; thanks for the tip, Send).
I'm mentioning those things because I find them helpful, and the bugs going around this year seem especially nasty. Practicing active wellness measures is my new thing.
Mostly I just wanted to stop by this thread and wish everyone Happy Holidays and happy new memories of times spent with friends/family. 🎄🎁☃
This was after she told them she didn't mean to cut off contact but she had to revoke access so her exboyfriends wouldnt find her.
But she didn't put my parents on the contact sheet for the doctors and nurse to give information at that time which isn't unusal for her to do because she lives with keeping secrets and doing things like this.
All my parents know is she was moved from ICU to critical care and then a basic room that was on the 21st. She did tell them she has blood pooling behind her eyes from the leukemia which should resolve with treatment hopefully and she cannot see anything clear even with her glasses on.
After that phone call with her they have been unable to reach her since and all the nurses would do is transfer the call to her room but she never picked up even though they called a few times each day and in the early evening.
Just read that the woman who was sent to prison for killing her mentally ill mother is being released. She and her boyfriend killed the mom.
I haven’t followed her story. Apparently, Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s mom suffered with Munchausen by proxy and her daughter killed her. The daughter was horribly abused as a child.
Some people shouldn’t have children!
It makes me wonder how many people are mentally ill and they slip through the cracks without being diagnosed. Very sad and disturbing at the same time.
My gosh, Munchausen by proxy is such a bizarre mental illness!
I can’t imagine the hell her daughter experienced growing up in that house.
