Good morning all!

Another snowy morning here. We Timber Wolves love the snow!

 

It's so hard to believe next week is Thanksgiving already. Wow, time goes fast!

 

Lots of love and a good morning hug,

Timber Wolf?

Another quite smoky day in Northern California. We're far enough from the fire to not be in harm's way, but the sheer volume of smoke this far away makes one appreciate the magnitude of the blaze. Surgical masks are de rigeur for the local resident who craves clean lungs. 

So sad to think of the loss of life, family homes and memories.

Hi,  Glad you are safe where you are.  Seems like this has been a pretty tough year for wild fires in California.  Stay safe.

Good morning all!

Sure glad we don't have fires burning around me. One got close to my home in Baldwin a few years ago. 

 

Lot's of sunshine here today and warmer temps.

 

Lots of love and a good morning hug,

 Yes it is Julie, it’s so bad down here that you can see it inside our warehouse!   I was getting my nails done after work and they had the news on the television, I can’t believe the lost of life and all of those homes, it’s so sad. 

 

On a more coffee related note, Instacart wasn’t able to deliver on time last night so I did not have toast today, however I did figure out where to put my avocados even if I didn’t slice them correctly and make them pretty.

It's like a Roman mosaic if they'd only had avocados and omelettes instead of plaster and tiles ?

Beautiful Nails, Jackie. One of these centuries I will get mine done. pamper myself, mani, pedi. the works. However mine are doing good on their own. I just hope I can keep them instead of breaking them. Have only broken one, recently, Knock on wood.

It snowed last night and since there were heavy winds before and during, the ground is littered with a leafy, snowy soup!

I'm sitting here listening  to a most beautiful song that was playing as I first read my younger sister's reply to my coming out email a few years ago. She's been so supportive of me!

 

Lots of love and  a good morning hug,

Up early (for me) today.  I had an 8am appointment with my doctor.  After he was done with me he sent me to their lab for blood work.  Now my veins roll and I learned to ask them to use a butterfly to draw blood.  I told this person the same thing.  No, she didn't need to use a butterfly, she found a large vein and it was deep so she used the standard vacutainer needle.  Sure enough the vein rolled (which she admitted) so with the needle buried in my are she starts digging around until she finally pierced it.  Besides the uncomfortable pain of her digging, I now have a bruise and I don't bruise easily.

 

made my cup of black coffee (dark roast) but had only drunk part of it before the Dr.  finished it when I was done as it was in a YETI travel cup.  yes they are expensive but they work, lit was still hot over 90 minutes later.  

 

Hugs to all and have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

I am not sure of all this talk of needles this time in the morning ? . It does remind me though, that I have to take my mother for her annual checkup and flu jab this time tomorrow. I think sticking to coffee sounds better :D

Kymmie,

 

I would much rather go to an AFB clinic than a Post Medical Call.  The AF treated us much better than the Army docs.  Guess they didn't like fly boys.  Last time I went to sick call was at Fort Belvoir, VA.  Why there and not Bolling AFB?  Because that's where we were assigned to go for some stupid reason.  Our duty site was a single building on Telegraph Rd in Alexandria VA.  Since we had no base or housing, we were all on our own.  Anyway, I had a ganglion cyst that hurt.  I went to sick call to see about it.  The Army Doc says, why are you here, I told him.  He says what it was and offers "You can have it cut out, but I wouldn't have anybody cutting on my wrist!'  I say but it hurts when I bend my wrist.  As he's walking away, "then don't bend your wrist".  

 

Hope you have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

It's cold but sunny here on the east coast.  I'm sitting down to oatmeal with blueberries from the farm, coffee and a glass of juice.  I've been sick the last few days with either an ear infection or a flu.  Fortunately i'm still able to do the chores and keep the wood stove filled and burning.  

Have a Happy and Grateful Thanksgiving!

 

Hugs,

Hello all

 

Well, black Friday is nearly over at least on the east coast.  I never go anywhere near a store on black Friday.  I bought a new to me car this week.  I hope I didn't just buy a whole bunch of trouble.  I've never kept a car to be as old or have as many miles as this one has, but I can't afford more these days.  

 

Had my usual cup of black dark roast this morning.  Left over turkey for lunch and pizza for supper.  It's supposed to rain tonight and most of tomorrow so I'll likely stay home tomorrow too.

 

Kymmie, I'm not exactly fighting my pink monster but I'm not exactly embracing her either.  I'm trying to get to an endocrinologist to see what they have to say about medical transitioning.  And I missed my Pillsbury Orange Cinnamon roll this year.  That's our goto holiday breakfast but we didn't get any this year.

 

Stay sane and away from the malls until things are a little quieter.

Good morning all!

 

I have just finished my mid morning pot of coffee, and about to get on.

 

I too avoid the shops during Black Friday. There are now lots of TV ads too and what with Brexit as well the off and mute buttons are getting much use. Don't people realise that both subjects are having a very negative effect on large numbers of people.

 

Well morning moan over, now for a bit of pampering before I go out. Enjoy your day!

      Something else I noticed @Ladypcnj Since I use the Unread tab, I don't see threads I've read again until someone replies to it, or the author adds something.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
    • Mmindy
      Good morning @Ladypcnj   Some posts get lost in the busy times here. It also maters how people navigate the site. Some only look at their notifications, or tap the All Activity tab which shows them thread they've commented on. (how I see it)... I on the other hand use the Unread tag under Activity. I don't think people ignore post as much as they get caught up reading threads they've already been active in.   Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
    • Ladypcnj
      What to do if post is being ignored?

      Oh yeah, I forgot,    @awkward-yet-sweetwhen your husband finally breaks down and decides to replace the stoves I agree a single professional stove even out of a defunct restaurant might well be the way to go when cooking for all those kids and adults. Certainly better that the situation you describe.  Or maybe from a used restaurant supply where they have professionally cleaned and refurbished it.
    • Willow
      Wow, yesterday was a very active day.     @Birdie I hope they figure out where that’s coming from and get you heeled quickly. That it’s nothing serious.  Maybe going to the day care with a purewick will finally convince them to change their attitude.   @MaeBe  especially if you believe you are about to loose your job anyway, what’s to keep you in Minnesota ?  This could be a wonderful thing for all of you Washington State can be wet but it’s really not as bad as it’s made out to be.  If you are west of the cascades it is relatively mild not like MN in the winter time.  And east of the cascades it’s rather desert like around Yakima.     New car shopping can be fun but it can be very stressful too.  We talked about it over lunch yesterday. Strange thing is she kept coming back to the old Ford.  My response was instead of two car payments there woul only be one although I would expect it to be a little higher, but not nearly what two would add up .  Plus I wouldn’t have to continue working as long with only one as when I get the other things paid off I know we can live without me working.  Unless of course, the congress decides to mess with social security.  Right now I have three vehicles I want to look at two are at one dealer and the third at another.  All three are GMs two are newer with lower mileage but are also lower end on the GM line.  The third which is the one that most interests me is a Cadillac.  Let’s see there is a song from way back about a Cadillac and a Hot Rod Lincoln comes to mind.  Anyway it is an XT-5. I get my room and comfort, she gets her nice appointments and the ford hopefully will hang on as a spare for those occasions when we need a second car for me to go to work and for her to do ??  The downside is it has just under 80,000 miles and is a 2020 so in that regard we are slipping backwards from a 2022 with 25000  but going from a sub-compact to a mid-size.  The other two are a compact and a Midsize but neither would provide the expected comfort and features of the Cadillac.  The biggest of which are the pedals that would adjust and the seat adjustments. (My wife is 4’ 10” and I am 5’8” since my spine has shrunk.  The Caddy also has the lane safety as well as front and rear collision warning.  The mileage will go down and the engine requires higher octane gas but that won’t be too much of a drag since we can go to Murphy USA where I work or to Costco which isn’t that far away. 10 miles.  And it’s better than the Ford!   I guess we will see how this plays out later.   Willow

      Two things amaze me, One how fast short haired dogs dry. Two how did you keep from loosing your glasses? I'm glad you wear a life jacket while kayaking even on smooth waters such as ponds or lakes. I'm guessing you learned a few things about landing and exiting the kayak.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Aside from the X-Files, Gilmore Girls is easily my favorite TV show. I originally watched the original airing in the commuter lounge at my college starting in 2000 because I was embarrassed to watch it at home when I living as a man. Now that I am out and transitioned, I watch it openly and wear Gilmore Girls t-shirts at work on days that I wear a skirt. For Valentine’s Day, my wife bought me the DVD’s. Yesterday I had to stay at work late because of an IT problem (I am not IT so I just had to make sure the pump stations telemetry was functioning properly before I could leave, IT did the actual work) and so I watched it on Netflix. Lorelai Gilmore inspired me to change my name to Lorelei. Yes, I picked a more traditional spelling on the name. The mother daughter interaction between them is heartwarming and sometimes hilarious. Last week I just started rewatching it again. Ironically I relate most to Luke, very rare as I almost always relate to a female character. Anyone else here love the show?

      Good morning everyone,   @Birdie continued prayers for you as they figure thing out. I'm glad you're being properly cared for.   @April Marie I love the pageantry of the Kentucky Derby the bright dresses, and fascinating hats worn by the ladies. As for the mint juleps... I'll pass, they're just to aromatic for me.  We'll be watching "The Fastest Two Minutes in Sports" as well.   @Adrianna Danielle & @awkward-yet-sweet it is amazing how a new stove seems to cook food better. Cooking for 36 people is a phenomenal task, and if you're doing it on anything less than a professional cook stove. You're preforming miracles, and I wish you the best.   My yard work is done for the day, because I don't have to wait until Saturday to do it. I'm getting use to this mostly retired situation. The windows and doors have been open since I first got up and the yard is full of bird songs. I have the best neighbors because they don't start their noisy yard work until very late morning or early afternoon.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I took an involuntary swim wearing my quick dry hiking pants and shirt. Lifejacket not shown but present on the rock I am sitting on. Watson is dry now but I am still soaked. I capsized my kayak 5 feet from the shore trying to land on an island. Water in the pond was surprisingly warm considering it is early may in upstate New York. 
    • Mirrabooka
      @Birdie best of luck to you, my friend.   @MaeBe, nothing ventured, nothing gained! Good luck!

      Oh I will. He loves to just sleep on the couch and sleep. Not very active at all which I'm mixed about. Less to do but also want him to do more too.
