Wow, That's messed up. I can't get over how reckless some people are these days.

Yeah. I've got three disabled people living in my house that may not survive it. My wife in end stages of autoimune pancreatitis, My son with emphezema, and his wife with stage 4 lupis who has failing kidneys and liver. It could be devistating here.

42B/C for US measurements.

No way a "C", don't think a "B" either. When I look at 42B bras in the store, the cups look huge. I guess i'll just have to try one.

Are ALL our SO's named Susan?

Jackie, my SO was born February 1956, and her parents named her Beverly Sue this turns out to be extremely popular name combination back then. Her Father and I are the only ones who call her Suzie. The rest of the world know her as Bev. or Beverly. When we dated in high school no one knew her as Suzie and accused me of make up her name or maybe dating her sister. She definitely had two different personalities, school bookworm, and on weekends a bonfire?hot hippy.☮️ 

 

She is retiring October 29 after 42 years in accounting Monday-Friday, and Hippy Biker Chic on the Weekends. She’s always been able to drink with the boys, and loves live music from many genres. The picture is us at HippieHillsDeadFest

Yes, however Ms Beverly Sue DOES NOT want to be called Susan. You can call her almost anything and she’ll answer. Call her Susan and she’ll ignore you or remind you, it’s SUE or SUZIE.

My wifes sister passed away last week. We went to her service Saturday. My wife is imuneo compromized. She has been sick ever since. Been to emergency room 3 times since then. They follow a care protocol with her. Last night her mom called her to tell her that her neice went to Washington state with COVID. Her daughter and husbans were at my wifes sisters service and my wife huged both of them. Now we both have to go to the hospital and get tested. I am SO angry right now.

 

Yeah, that is SO not cool. Fingers crossed. Hopefully the plague carrier didn't manage to pass it on.

 

Hugs!

I was going to babysit my granddaughter next week for her schoolteacher mom.  But My son and his wife (unvaxed) have covid symptoms now, and she has been staying with her cousins for a few days.  

I have had my shots, but the covid mom says she'll keep her there for a few more days.   

So far the symptoms have been relatively mild.  They're still waiting on test results.

 

Sheesh, I don't know what to think anymore.

@Willow Yay, welcome to Ohio!

[Willow]

In my defense I couldn’t see what I was typing to know it was that bad.

 

Thanks, Ohio is actually my home state.  Born in Fremont and lived here 35 years.  The rest was 32 years in Virginia and 5 so far in South Carolina.  I don’t have any reason to come back anymore.  Mom, dad and sister are all gone.

It's like nirvana today!

Weather. That doesn't sound like a deep spiritual dive, but we've got 66 and cool and clear and  not humid!

After a heat wave and serious dehydration and heat exhaustion, I feel cured.

Change can be good, right? Celebrate it when it is, I say.

Y'all have sweet breaths of air today.

Hi everyone 

 

evening report. We are stopped tonight in Moline Il.  First thing in the morning we cross into Iowa. I can see it from the hotel.  It’s on the Mississippi River.

 

tired now it’s been a long day from Dayton to here.  I don’t envy the motorcycles heading east from Sturges. There were lots of the on the highway.  Time to find something to eat.

Crazy start to my day with a 5:30 wake up call, nice walk then off to work early to get a host of stuff done before my noon electrolysis appointment.  I'm being challenged in a few areas schedule wise. My receptionist is in a psych hospital right now and I'm not sure when she will be able to return to work and I have my BA coming up in 9 days. I'm frantically looking to potentially hire someone this week just in case I need a replacement (current employee isn't communicating any updates so I have to cover my bases) and I'm pulling a bunch of shifts before my surgery just in case my other person needs to pull some OT. I'm out for at least 5 days post-op.  All of that work is restricting my other personal things that need to get done before surgery AND I'm trying to manage the new office remodel.  ahhhhhhhhhhh.   Just breath.....................................

That's it Bri, Just breath. I do pray that your receptionist is doing well, and returns in time for your medical departure.

 

@Willow My Suzie and I moved from the St. Louis, MO metro area in 1994, to the Indy metro area, and we still have family and friends asking when we're moving back. WE ARE NOT MOVING ANYWHERE. This is our forever home and we like it. They just don't understand moving away from your birth home, and staying away. Safe travels.

 

Good morning near afternoon everyone,

 

Today's coffee was HOT, black, and strong.

 

Hugs,

@Jamie68 much love and many prayers to you and your family.

 

Morning, all. I had a fantastic weekend. My husband and I bought our home, which needed A LOT of TLC, summer of 2019. We hadn't had anyone over yet because the house was not ready and then the pandemic hit. We had a little gathering Saturday night for the first time with some friends who are in our "bubble" and who are all vaxed. Amazingly, I did not suffer anxiety leading up to this event. I generally suffer quite intense social anxiety despite my concerted endeavor to cultivate the virtue of friendliness and my quest to "be myself" (whatever that means). I had been praying for liberation from the sometimes crippling self-doubt I very often experience, and there was one night in particular recently while praying that I felt great strength supporting me. I have been focused very much on being true to myself and trusting that that will be just fine (and hopefully a blessing to others). Anyways, the party was a great success. Tropical storm Fred left us alone and we were able to go swimming in the pool. One friend commented that the feng shui in our home was amazing (what a compliment!). You know how you never know how a party will evolve? Well, we enjoyed hanging out in every area of the house throughout the afternoon and evening. There is an open area adjacent to the living room that I had envisioned as a potential dance floor, and lo and behold one of my friends started dancing there and I joyfully joined in. A good time was had by all. I felt mightily accomplished. Not just for the superficial reason of having had a nice party - I feel our home and hospitality is an expression of myself, and everyone was digging it - a big confidence boost! The friend who commented on the feng shui was actually a friend of a friend whom I met for the first time. He was telling me how welcome and comfortable he felt with me and my "partner". Him using "partner" rather than "husband" made me really feel seen by him. 

 

In other news, my semester begins this week (I'm a prof.), so I'll be a bit more scarce, but I'll be around. Much love to all.

I was born and pretty much raised in upstate NY.  I've lived here in NC over 50yrs now and I'm quite satisfied to stay.  I've only been back for a very few visits.  It's changed so much it doesn't feel like home to me.

[Jani]

@Vidanjali Congrats on the success of your party.  I happy to read you were able to dance.  Sounds like fun.  Best of luck with the upcoming semester!

Evening update

 

hi everyone 

 

we stopped in Sioux Falls, SD. Hoped to go a bit further but settled on here after slowed by road construction and we took a side trip in Minnesota to see a bison herd.  They didn’t cooperate.

 

Thats what we agreed to do if we see something interesting on the map, go see it!  Now I have to figure driving time to Portland OR because that’s the only deadline we have.  I have to decide available sightseeing time to decide what we see now and what we see on the way back east.

 

@KymmieL I’m going to measure straight through drive time from a place in Wyoming familiar to you.  That gives me time in the badlands and I’ll have to see about any other stops. Except for coffee.

Good morning!

 

Today is a no makeup day as I have laser later. I am not worried it is just not that common an occurrence. I usually wear a little and a full face is almost as rare.

 

I was explaining laser hair removal to a friend yesterday and mentioned that if your personality is of the type: To comfort someone and be super nice, then zap them with lasers as they try not to flench, the ask how they are doing and offer water or other comforts - this might be the job for you.

 

On laser days I seam to be less worried about a not perfect day, as I will likely not remember when the zapping starts.

 

Wishing everyone a happy Tuesday!

[LaurenA]

Off to the hospital again  for another 9 hour session of holding the hand of a person I love as she slowly dies.  I do what I can for her but we both know it's just a matter of time.  I have to admit I am having fun confusing the medical staff having boobs but answering as male.  I'm not sure but this feels like a comforanble place to be.
