Good morning TGP!

 

I'm having some ginger tea and getting ready for the workday.  20% of the company I work for got laid off a couple weeks ago, but I managed to hang on to my job.  We're all dealing with the changed environment at work.  I'm thankful I'm not in the unemployment line today.

 

Hugs,

Lydia

Rub it in why don't you. jeez. Well today is a relaxing day, it is my Sunday now. Actually got some of the things I wanted to get done , done yesterday. Was able to get the bracket for my new fuel pump welded and painted on the wagon. I was also able to get the license plate bracket and light mounted on the new explorer. now just need to wire the light and get some license plate bolts.

 

Don't blame me for this weather, I was in Michigan when it started and had to deal with it as well. LOL. Luckily I left before the ice storm hit. Dodged the bullet with that one.

 

Today more work on the wagon, more fuel system plumbing. But I am on the downward side so it should go easier. time will tell.

 

Stay safe and warm everyone.

@KymmieL Hey, I worked hard to get to the point where I could have some leasure time.  Yours time is coming. if your wagon is anything like my boat was, it will take a lot more time to finish the last few things than you expect.  And of course something you think is finished won’t be.

 

Hey, make sure you use license plate screws that aren’t easily removed. Like torx head or even safety torx.  Some one blame you for bringing the storm to Wyoming?  Last I checked Michigan is east of Wyoming and the storms usually come out of the west or northwest.  
 

Exercise classes went well. Unfortunately, I am usually pretty beat after the aqua Fitness class so the strength and stretch suffers some.

Good morning, everyone!!! Waiting for the coffee to kick in - dogs have already gone back to sleep after their walk and breakfast. Maybe I should, too. 🙂 Enjoy your day!!!

Good morning everyone,

 

I've been on a family vacation for five days, and there were two newborn babies there. So you know where this baby whisperer's attention was. Yes I've still got the touch.

Good morning, Mindy! I was wondering how your time away with family went. Sounds like it was heavenly for you. 💕

I guess it’s morning although I don’t know that I want it to be.  
 

First I was awakened by a fire truck that sat nearby for about 40 minutes.  I suppose they were here to assist a paramedics crew.  They always send a truck and with an EMS. Around here.  Everywhere I suppose.

 

then I couldn’t get back to sleep.  I made brownies last night and I think they kicked in to help keep me awake.  We ate too many, but we hadn’t had made from scratch brownies in a long time.

 

our dog seems to have a bad case of fleas.  I’ve bathed her used the liquid flea treatment on her twice, gotten her a flea collar, and combed her with a firmanator comb.  I did that outside and combed out a lot of live fleas and eggs but I think that actually made her worse.  I feel bad but I’m running out of ways to help her.

Good morning Willow,

 

There are many reasons Fire and EMS send multiple units to a medical call. Sadly the most common reason is they're under staffed and need two units sent just so they have four responders there. Even in the case of a fully staffed agency, we like to see two units dispatched because if it requires CPR, the person doing compressions should only be in that position for no more than two minutes to remain effective. Another reason is for lifting and carrying a person of size.

 

Hugs,

@Mmindy Sounds like your vacation was nicer than mine. cleaning out a house of your dead brother in law to be sold isn't really fun.

 

@WillowBeing awaken by sirens isn't fun. when I was way younger I was afraid of sirens. Would hide in between the screen and main door. Until one time the screen door wouldn't open. I found out what was making the sounds. I still can see the scar.

 

Back to the grind today. At least I get to drive around.

 

Coffee is nice and hot. tastes so good.

 

Hugs, to all.

Years ago, when we were living in town, we were woke up by the fire trucks in front of the house.  The house across the street was on fire.

It seems some guys were in there huffing gasoline (of all things) and one of the idiots decided to light a cigarette.  Actually a true story.  Stupidity knows no bounds.

When I was on the fire department, they would get called out for anything potentially life-threatening.  The fire department could be here in 5 minutes; the ambulance would take 20.  They would also get called out for non-life-threatening calls if the ambulance would be delayed.  Mostly it was the medical first responders on the fire department that were called out, but for CPR, it was every available person.  If you do a full 2-minute shift of effective CPR, you need a 10 or 15 minute break to recover.

So true Kathy, we're lucky to have three of the LUCAS CPR Machines. One on each of our three city ambulances. They're expensive, but they free up personnel, and space around the victim.

Kymmie,

 

I've been following your posts on the trip to MI and cleaning out your brother-in-laws house. You're correct, it's not fun. However it can be rewarding, and humbling as you move through the process.

 

Hugs,

@Mmindy My youngest did expand his collection of video game consoles, with some old school ones. Plus my brother in law had a few things would be collectable. In addition to the house we also inherited property in upper lower Michigan. My wife actually found her mothers ashes, she had been told they were used for fertilizer. So she has all but her youngest brothers ashes.

Good morning, everyone! I’m two cups of coffee into the day, dogs are walked and fed and I’ve caught up on the news of the day.

 

I won’t jinx things now - will provide the details later - but this week has held some wonderful things for me already and today, hopefully, a major advance in my journey. I am excited, scared, hopeful and full of anticipation. 

 

Send good old vibes my way, that it all works out as I hope it does!

Good morning

 

Just wanted to say hi, then I have to get going. We have to be in Charleston.

 

Fire and EMS showed up again yesterday.  Two firefighters got out of a Squad truck. They were here quite a while before EMS arrived.  Obviously from a different area, they followed GPS whereas squad new the shortest route.  
 

finishing my coffee then I’ll get moving.

I had an early morning appointment for a CT scan.  No food, no coffee.  😵  Scan done, I had my coffee at Tim Horton's.  Then, instead of my planned errands, I high-tailed it back home because the snow was starting to build up.  I made it up the hill, but the car definitely wasn't moving in a straight line!  Errands can wait.

April, I always hope to send you good vibes, and things will go your way.

 

Good morning everyone,

I'm on my second mug of coffee,:coffee: after having the pleasure of sleeping in. I'll be dragging the camper home from storage today, so my wife can update and add to the decorations in it. We bought it last November, pulled it off the lot, and parked it in storage. Our maiden voyage with it is in three weeks.

 

Hugs,

Thanks, Mindy.  I have a pretty good idea what the scan will say: lungs are about as healed as they are going to get; capacity is about 75% of what it used to be.  At least, that is what I am expecting.

No snow here.  It was upper 70's yesterday, but will be cooler today.  Y'all yankees - and beyond - can enjoy your snow.

 

I went to a local Pride group last night.  I'd been there once before awhile back.  It was okay.  The people were nice enough.  The thing is there are no older people.  Everyone else was like 30 yrs younger than me.  They all have their own thing going on.

 I still feel pretty much alone around here.

      As has been said many times, this is not a black and white issue. Sure.  I get it that a MtF person that has gone through full male puberty and "transitioned" 6 months ago probably has an advantage in some sports.  But these bans affect elementary school kids too. I mean, banning trans women from Darts?  Chess?

      Worry refers to the thoughts, images, emotions, and actions of a negative nature in a repetitive, uncontrollable manner that results from a proactive cognitive risk analysis made to avoid or solve anticipated potential threats and their potential consequences.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
