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.
Thinking of moving a few things from the living room, which has lots of furniture and creating a couple of areas downstairs. There will be lots of space between them but that's OK. Any ideas?
The most confusing part? A winter storm advisory too! Maybe they will have it straightened out by 5.
My earliest memories are of a contraption that gathered the bales together and then with the pull of a rope dumped them in small groups to be stooked by a person walking though the field. Later innovation brought a machine that had a man (usually my father) stacking the bales into triangular stooks as they were spat out of the baler - that had to be backbreaking work! I was sometimes recruited to drive the wagon slowly through the field while the hired men pitched bales of hay and stacked them on a wagon, I got a shout if I didn't stop smoothly! Getting the hay into the mow was another job we kids could help with, off loading the bales from the wagon onto an elevator (I can still hear the screeching sound) and up into the mow where an experienced man stacked them - what fun to try to bury the person working up there!
TN, I was thinking about your charge and wondering how he is. Thanks for the news! He's on his way. 😊
1) Posts two or more questions right away.
2) Usually on a Weds. night.
3) Early on criticizes the caregiver(s) who have answered.
4) Within the hour after posting, "solves" the problem by quitting their job.
In two separate posts.....same caregiver....
Should a caregiver uncomfortable giving a shower and not strong enough to get a client to the doctor's appointment even be a caregiver?
It's hard seeing her so pale and wan and going through all of this.
techie -that's wonderful. He is thriving in all ways. It's great that he loves gardening.
I am making progress with my (and mother's) filed stuff that I have to keep for a while yet. I've decided to toss the old metal filing cabinets that must be 40 years old and will replace them with something better after I have moved. So tax info etc. is going into rubbermaid type tubs for moving.
I know some of you have dealt with similar jobs. Anyone have a suggestion as to how to label the tubs so the labels are clear and secure during moving? Are masking tape and black marker pens good enough?
Well done!
He has stepped back into his friendships with my grand-nephews (he's between them in age) and is having fun with them. He's decided to be a ball boy with the football team this year. A big surprise to me is how much he's taken to gardening; says he loves seeing the work yield something that tastes great. Next year we're going to plant some watermelons...
I have hiked down those stairs at the Pt. Reyes Lighthouse in California.
Coming back up, I had to let people pass me by, so I could rest. That was a lot of stairs! Way back when....

Indeed they are blessing you, Praise The Lord!
Oh my goodness. You wouldn't believe how much they are getting done. The dad is doing heroics out there with the wilderness in my garden. What a nice family!!! I am truly blessed! I will have a truckload of vegetation to be hauled away.
A real estate lady is coming over tomorrow afternoon to take a look and let me know what needs doing around here. Prayers that it go well would be appreciated.

I think we both were over tired this morning.

For What It's Worth by Buffalo Springfield. That one was on my playlist today, they did manage to get some things right.

Can you get what you are looking for by entering "Oldies but Goodies" in your search bar? Maybe try a google search instead of Youtube.
Today is a good day for me to stay off social media, I think.
But music is always fun. peaceful. relaxing. or energizing. Uplifting. Or for recalling memories.
Be careful, I cannot get these songs out of my head, played over the weekend:
"Better stop people, what's that sound, everybody look what's goin down".
"What a field day for the heat"
"Somewhere in the darkness, the gambler he broke even".
"The best you can hope for, is to die in your sleep".
After years later, rewatching "Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood", Sandra Bullock-An alcoholic mother who has a breakdown and goes after her children, beats them with a belt, then is taken away....
I now find myself in shock mostly. The movie is not about my friend who was an alcoholic (and looked a lot like the mother).....
It is about my mother, going after me. And the rest of the story is pretty much the same.
There is sand in my eyes and nose and mouth, after pulling my head out. 🙄
