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.
Sounds beautiful but too cold for me!
Cat,
You’re in the sunshine state! I love Florida sunshine and beaches. My dad grew up in Florida so we went there every summer when I was a child.
it looks like xmas again here--
and the snow doesn't even look like snow. ❤️ it looks like heaps of sugar was poured all over the mountains, rooftops, trees.
it's snowing, meters & meters, here. the trees are all white. one can't even walk out the door, that's how much snow there is. and i loooooove it. beautiful ❤️. (it snows a lot here, but even for us, it's unusual to have snow in march). i work on my computer; warm cup of tea. i can see people playing around, rolling around in the snow. i'll go out & find a snowball victim. gotta throw a snowball at someone, anyone. last time i chose the worst victim of all (i didn't know he was national handball champion). it was a tough fight. but i lived to tell the tale.
My daughter was born on 5 March, brand new daylight saving change day 45 years ago. Then it changed to later in March, because it was a problem for businesses being further out of synch with states that had chosen a later date. After that, in our state there was a local push for ‘Mad March’ – the weather is usually so good that lots of outdoor events got pushed into March.
Schools in the west of our state were offered a later start, but the majority parents in the town refused it. The kids on the farm school bus run were waiting for the bus in the dark, but the townies still voted for the new hours. You can’t meet everyone’s preferences!
My mother taught in WWII, with ‘double summer time’ to save power. A history lesson that 1600AD school started at 7am got shrieks of horror from the kids, until mother pointed out that they were actually starting at 7am themselves.
Every time we change there is talk of it being the last time.
Our phones automatically reset but I always forget to change the clock in my car. My husband changes the clocks at home.
I never wear a watch anymore. I look at my phone for the time.
There are only a couple of states that don’t observe daylight savings time.
Gershun.
I agree with Stacy. I would also say that your avatar is very Puss N Boots and Shrek. Love Antonio Banderas!
I watched Shrek a bazillion times with my daughters.
My aunt was four years older than my uncle. They had a wonderful relationship.
I knew that she was at least 70. 76! Wow! She looks fabulous.
I say as long as she’s happy, so what…doesn’t matter what age they are.
They are both adults. It’s not like a teenager dating someone who is a lot older. That’s cringy.
Willie, yes I thought that might be why Send had "left the building" so to speak. I hope she comes back!
She’s happy. She’s Cher!
I personally never got her relationship with Greg.
Greg was so messed up on drugs back then. Cher was so controlled by Sonny that maybe she was curious about being with a guy like Greg. They had a son together. I saw the son, Elijah perform at a blues festival. He sounds a lot like his dad did.
Sonny may have discovered Cher and put her on the map but he definitely held her back. She was the one with all of the talent! Not him.
I started going to Allman Brothers concerts when I was a teenager. Have seen them many, many times before. Last saw Greg Allman at our jazz festival in the blues tent. So good!
Gosh, so many musicians that I listened to when young are dead now. I feel old! LOL 😆
If you are out there Send. I miss you and hope you are alright.
hi everyone! :) :)
hugs & courage & wisdom, to all! :) :)
just wanted to say, today i'm having a GOOD day. feels good. i gotta appreciate those days. my LOs are doing very well; me, too. (i'll continue to be mostly gone from the internet). we're also having a really beautiful day outside. blue, blue sky, with lots of sunshine -- and snowwwww everywhere. it snowed again during the night. i continue to walk around with my spiky shoes, and two poles; as does everyone here, whatever age. on my way to the supermarket, i walk along a river, with icy patches and snow-covered stones, hugged by the water.
anyway, today is a GOOD day over here. and as we know, things can change so fast, so i'm appreciating every moment.
courage, everyone.
bundle of joy :)
So sorry. Hopefully, you and your family will start feeling better soon.
So funny! He was pretending to be a contestant to promote his new show, That’s My Jam.
