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.
And then there are the posters who have good comments or questions and lots of answers who never come back so you wonder if they were real.
Busy today deconstructing part of my pantry so it can be hauled away. The company I bought my new mattress from does not remove old ones. My mistake. So I have to get someone to take it to the dump and decided I may as well make it worth while as I have other stuff that needs to go. Clearing out drawers, l think I have enough plastic storage containers for 3 households lol.
I bought a new mattress and dishwasher and need a new microwave. Once I get a new one I can get the dump run organized, and the old microwave can go too. Going to feel good getting rid of all that stuff!

Admins do not determine what is most helpful. The algorithm built into the site counts likes. . Basically it is the number of people that decide to click helpful or like.
Hang on, we will need your advice on techniques how to ambulate to the bathroom without coughing or sneezing.
Some of us are getting older than you.
And even Teepa Snow will be aging out soon enough.
I am thinking, yes, to being exclusionary to new OP's, no matter how old.
It could be called: The Wisdum of the Ages
Forum is seeming REALLY CHANGED to me.
I think the admins may have in the past saved us from a few of these recent totally bizarre posts? Recent posts have some nonsense headings that make no sense.
Some OPs are so bizarre as to changing (his) names and returning with more nonsense; must be laughing (his) head off that we don't realize he is last week's OP with a new name and problem (but similar Dad). Easily recognized by his odd spacing, parroting back of advice before praising us for changing his life and curing him.
Many posts are so poorly spelled you can't get the question at all. Many OPs just want to argue the issues endlessly (true of a lot of Social Media) I suppose.
I am going to have to seriously reconsider a new addiction, or enter a 12 step to stay off a while. So far I feel helpless in the face of my compulsive dependency. But I am thinking about it!
We could say:
"In other words, you won't be caught dead changing your Dad's diapers, ever!"
"In other words, when you escaped from home, it was hard enough the first time.
May it go well for you.
Moving gives you the opportunity to get rid of stuff, downsize, and organize.
Wishing that I could move. To somewhere over the rainbow maybe.
It is a very active thread.
Maybe you were a bit early tonight. The usual 'suspects' come on later.
I re-watched a movie last night: "You've Got Mail". It has many very funny lines to recall.
"It's not personal".
"What does that mean it's not personal?"
"If anything, it should start out as personal".
"I wish I had a river that I could skate away on?" A Joni Mitchell quote.
It is quiet here tonight.
I know most people are busy but it seems like all my old friends on here (you included) are M I A these days. Or am I imagining it? Maybe I need to be busier. Then I wouldn't notice.
I'm fine Golden. Thx for asking. :)
How are you doing?
Yiddish, kvetch means “to press,” or “to squeeze,” whereas in English, it has come to mean “to complain.”

LOL, look what I found! From 1983, so probably 40 years ago! Time flies when kvetching!
