@Mmindy I'm glad that we don't have crickets and grasshoppers.  Pests. We keep the grass mowed short, but we don't use pesticides since we try to have everything as organic as possible.  The cats practically eat their weight in insects, which is helpful.  They also.....ummm.... fertilize. 😆

I think Pauxatauny Phil’s prediction finally hit here.  Cold last night and freeze warning for tonight.  At least it is supposed to warm up again after the next freight train of bad weather roars through.

 

I know the Californians have had more than enough snow and rain.  They filled many reservoirs to overflow and they are trying to force water back into the aquafure (I know that’s spelled wrong). Seems like nature isn’t always very kind to California.

 

I hope there is enough rain and snowpack along the Colorado River basin to replenish the Hoover dam.

 

Wow @Mmindy two buckets-o-brew in one day.  How did you manage (tattoos (not what I typed)) to get anything straight?  With that much caffeine I’d be shaking like an earthquake.

Darn it. I fly into Boston that day, but I do not get there until 2 pm. Boston is a great town and Massachusetts is a good state to live in if you are trans.

Ah, too bad,  @Katie23. Welcome to town in any case. When I moved here back in 1973 it was not for its trans-friendliness. But glad I'm here now. I guess we can just keep planting the seeds of truth when we protest and trust they'll grow. Have a great trip. — Davie

Good afternoon, everyone!! I feel as if I've finally beaten back the depression that just overwhelmed me last week and am in a good place now. Focused on taking joy from every day and expanding my confidence. Bear with me, please!

Good afternoon everyone,

 

I have a friend in the San Fransisco, CA area, and when he comes to our annual trout fishing trip, he complains about the water conservation protocols he has to comply with. He brags about not shoveling snow. Well this year while he was at trout camp his wife sent him pictures of the snow capped mountains that she could see from their porch. He said that in the 20 years he's lived there, there was never any snow in the lower elevations. I've always contended that the weather is cyclical and while short term forecasting is better than ever. Long term forecasting is just a guess. I hope the reservoirs do fill back up, but I don't know how successful they'll be at filling the aquifers. Lake Mead should see some water level rise because of the snowfall, although I read an article that they may hold most of the snow melt in Lake Powell. I hope this guy is correct: “For the West in general, this year has been really great,” said Paul Miller, service coordination hydrologist with the National Weather Service’s Colorado Basin River Forecast Center in Salt Lake City. “This is probably the wettest year we’ve had since 2011.”  Las Vegas News  

 

It is devastating to see the property damage from the flooding. While on the other hand cheering for Mother Nature to return water levels to their historical normal levels.

 

Hugs,

Good morning, everyone! It feels so good to be beyond the depression of last week and enjoying life again. My wife and I spent the evening watching The Quiet Man with Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne - a classic that we both love. Every time we watch it, we catch something new...even though we can pretty much quote the dialogue at this point. Of course, we enjoyed a little Jameson Irish Whisky while we watched.

 

A quiet day for me except that I've got my therapy session in a bit. I always look forward to that.

 

Be safe and warm...and loved.

Well, I am just wait till my wife says something to me. She got home from Lincoln. Never got a text from her that she was leaving. Only one was when she stopped for fuel. I had to ask my son when she left. No notification that she got home. I guess I found out about it myself. She said maybe 5-6 words to me last night then after I went to bed either her or our youngest closes our bedroom door all the way.

 

So far she hasn't said anything to me today. She made a comment on why the cat was closed in the laundry room. other than that nothing. I am waiting. It is getting harder to live with her with her ignoring me all the time. I am getting close to snapping.

Good morning

 

ive had my first cup-o-Joe.  Also my breakfast.  I soon need to get ready for my first day of employment in 7 years.  Certification for alcohol sales and food handler are complete and don’t expire for a couple years.  Who knew convenience store workers were food handlers.  I never gave that a thought.  
 

Anybody know a good safe cure for a dog with fleas?  One that really works?  She’s been bathed several time followed by a very tight spaced shedding come. That removes them from fur and skin.  Then I’ve tried twice putting liquid flea medicine between her shoulder blades and now I’ve added a flea collar.  I guess she keeps getting reinfected because I have limited areas to take her and I expect the wild geese are the original source.  No I can’t afford the $200 programs sold by pet stores or Chewy.com.

 

gotta go get ready

 

i can’t be late my first day.

Best practice is a Frontline regimen once a month. Your dog will be flea-free in a couple of months.

Good morning everyone,:coffee:

 

I'm on my second cup of coffee, and slept well last nigh. I didn't sleep well Tuesday night for several reasons. I've been stressing over a couple of build deadlines that I have to meet in the shop. Compound that with getting three shots at the doctors office: Tetanus, Pneumococcal 20, and my second Shingles vaccine that really made my arms hurt. Then one of my fabricators informs me that they're missing two very important pressure relief valves for the build they are working on. This is a prop that I know the least about, so part number, and descriptions on an invoice don't make me comfortable. Now I'm questioning if I ordered them? How long will it take to get them? Did I get them, but misplace them in my shop? Which bin would I have placed them in? Going out into the shop, and looking for them would make to much noise and wake Suzie up. So I thought I would just take two ibuprofen, and a sleep it off. Well that didn't happen. So yesterday was a real drag, until my vendor e-mailed me stating that the valves I was shorted had been shipped. Then apologized for not marking them as back ordered. 

 

Today is going to be a GREAT DAY! I don't care what happens.

 

Hugs,

Add very frequent vacuuming if you have rugs or carpeting. Adding the vacuuming to whatever else we did was what finally worked for us each year.

Good luck on your first day at work!

First day started with some additional training videos.  Then following another employee and ringing up some sales.  I find their point of sales system has a lot going on click here for this and there for that then finding a place on the screen that confirms what you’ve done so far.  It doesn’t help matters that it is the highest volume site in the area.  I expect to get faster just as soon as I can figure out where things are on the screen and follow the touch here first then there and get the screen better memorized.

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."    
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far... 
    • EasyE
      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.
