Dropped my landline after mother in law passed. We kept it so she wouldn't need to learn a new number. The great thing about cell phones is that they come with an off button.

Sigh. I use my landline to find my cell. And vice versa.

My daughter is bad for losing hers.  She uses mine to find it.

 

I don't do TV either.  It does freak a lot of people out.  I get internet and phone from spectrum, but they're separate accounts.  It's kinda dumb I guess.

Hi, I got off at 2:30.  When I got home, which takes me 3 minutes plus or minus 1 waiting on a traffic light, I changed and went to the pool.  Won’t be doing that tomorrow, I’m on the noon to 8 shift and it’s supposed to be raining.  Sunday morning will be chilly with improving and warmer each day next week.  
 

We had a some unpleasant people today.  We are having an unknown intermittent issue with premium gas. I had a customer complain she couldn’t get the pump to work.  I asked which grade of gas, she answered regular gas.  Had to move to a different pump. Still wouldn’t work and she’s angry, and getting angrier as she thinks I’m cheating her.  Finally we figure out in spite of her statement to the contrary she is trying to pump mid-grade.  So all I can do is refund her prepayment.  She left in a huff.  Little while later a man comes in cussing up a storm because someone outside did something he didn’t like, though he was nice to us.  Then the last straw was someone came in and wanted a fountain coke.  And it wasn’t working.  I checked it and the syrup had run out so I proceed to change the syrup but I can’t find a fresh one.  Took a while but we found it, I changed it and we were back in business.  Meanwhile, he got mad because he couldn’t buy the fuel he wanted.  Yelling and asking for the manager who left an hour earlier, then demanded her phone number and finally insisted she call him.  Uh huh, sure.  Took his name and number then when he was gone the shift lead tore it up.  The managers last day is next Friday and she has already checked out.  

 

The cold front has come through.  Boy what a temperature drop.

I don't understand why, but people always need someone to blame.  Life just doesn't always work out the way you want.  I think sometimes the best approach is just throw up your hands, maybe say a few bad words, and shake your head.   Time to move on to the next debacle.

 

At times life is just a farce.  You gotta appreciate the humor.  Murphy's Law is real.

Good morning everyone!!! The cold weather is back here again for a few days but next week looks very promising. No big plans for the Easter weekend.

 

It seems as if people are just worn out mentally - suffering a constant barrage of negativity, of complaints, of hurt, of problems and issues. As @Ivy said - and @Willow noted from her experiences yesterday - people have to find someone to blame for every little problem in their lives. We have stopped teaching our children to have mental toughness, to be able to face challenges and adversity and move on with life. It began with the Everyone Gets a Trophy generation and has just gotten worse.

 

We all face challenges and hardships. Sometimes life sucks...for everyone. So, it's not what happens to us that defines who we are but what we do in response to the challenges. That things go wrong is a given. How we respond is our personal choice.

 

Ok, I've gotten that off my chest. I've already read the paper and finished my 3rd cup of coffee. Rant over.

 

Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day. Find the goodness in it - no matter what's happening, there is always something good if you look for it.

Good morning 

 

boy it was nice to sleep in. Down side we are out of coffee!OUT OF COFFEE!  How could that happen.  Where is the manager?  I want to yell at her.  Oh! That would be me.  lol.  I gave my wife the last pod and I tried making a cup using a universal pod and ground coffee.  Yuk! I don’t recommend this.  Top priority, get some coffee pods!

 

the rain was a bit late but heaven is crying over the death of Jesus.  That’s how my mother put it.  It was always supposed to rain Good Friday afternoon.

 

Happy Easter everyone.

 

love and hugs to all

 

Willow

I also get that he is an adult, and once we get past this landmark birthday celebration, I'm going to have to let him know that I won't be dressing down for him anymore. 

I totally understand the mixed feelings about your children growing up, and becoming young adults. There comes a time when you no longer have control over them, you just hope they see you as an influence for good. They never had control over you, and it's time for Hannah to ease into the family.

 

Hugs, as you get through this afternoon, and evening.

Good morning and Happy Easter, everyone!!!

 

I'm glad that your son's birthday celebration went well @Hannah Renee. And, there's no reason for you to feel guilty about your emotions. It's wholly understandable that you feel that way and I hope that your son will grow to accept you as you are now that he's getting older. 

 

On to cup #2 for me. Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day!

It went well, though very expensive, but it was an important celebration.

 

Life teaches us that we never stop being parents and that our children never stop expecting us to be so.

 

Until they mature, they also expect us to forever be the same people as who they knew growing up. Little do they understand that we have always been who we are, but masked it for them to think that we were 'normal'. 

 

Hugs to you Hannah. You went through a tough time with the lunch, but here you are. Hang in there.

 

Happy Easter, everyone.

Our own evolution and growth doesn't stop simply because we become parents.  In fact, that is just another experience that contributes to it.  And then, when they are grown, it moves into a new phase.  I'm not sure we ever stop growing until the grave, and perhaps it doesn't stop there either.

Amen to that. I think we die, inside at least, if we decide to stop growing, learning, becoming.

Happy Easter,

 

I’ll have a photo update later.

 

yesterday was an up and down day.  I had a young woman specifically come to me to enquirer about feminine products.  I pointed them out and she then returned to my register to purchase.  I made certain to handle it discreetly and bagged everything for her,  (normal is to ask if they wanted it bagged). I had an older woman who came to me right after I was given a hard time by a 20 something.  She perked me back up with pleasant words and kindness.  Last but the highlight, a couple came in she wanted a Snickers bar. The husband/boyfriend? Pointed to candy right in front of her.  I don’t want register candy I want it from the candy isle.  He returned with her Snickers.  When I gave her her $10 in change, HE put out his hand,  she said to him, what do you want?  He says the $10.  She looks at him and finally says, well, I guess you earned it last night and gave it to him.  He’s all embarrassed she’s smiling and as the walk away I said thank you, you just made my day and we all laughed.

Good morning everyone, Happy Easter to those who celebrate.

 

For me He has risen, and I know that He walks with me.

 

This is the first two day weekend for me in a long time. It started out BOLD, however today I feel that I've lost my B.

 

Hugs,

Good morning, everyone!! First cup of coffee is kick starting my brain, time to read the paper. There's a nice warm-up predicted for the week - I am so looking forward to getting out in the sun.

 

Be safe and enjoy this day!!

Read the paper? What a novel idea @April Marie

 

Good morning y’all

 

i have to take my wife to the airport on my way to work this morning.  She is going out west to see our son.  I could be challenging.  She’s flying standby.  
 

I’ll be on my own with the dog for a week.  Speaking of whom I need to take her out.  After I put my makeup on.

Good morning everyone,:coffee:

 

I had my coffee earlier, then I went to the Big Box Plumbing Supply for several hundred dollars of sch-40 pipe. I need to finish up this current Pipe Leak Tree and have it ready to ship to Corona, CA. Oh now that I'm back home I get a text that the pharmacy has meds. ready for pick up. So I'll be going back out later.

 

Hugs,

I decided to drop our recycling off at the local center - no pickup out here where we live. So, I loaded the truck and headed out - stopped by the car wash on the way back to get the worst of the spring mud off the truck. Now that it's warming up I can get the pressure washer out and really spend some time cleaning it up.

 

No big plans for the rest of the day.

The snow is almost all gone now, except where there had been big drifts.  The buds are starting to swell on the peach trees, which means it is time to spray them with sulfur and dormant oil.  I suited up in a heavy rubber rain suit, with boots, nitrile gloves, mask and goggles and gave them their first stinky spraying.  I'll have to do it again in two weeks.

 

The spray isn't toxic, in fact, it is considered organic, but it smells like you'd expect sulfur to smell.  When I was done, I stripped off the outer gear outdoors and hosed it all off.  I don't smell too bad indoors.  😵

I think I need a second cup ... still dealing with morning even though it's after 12. LOL

      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.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either
    • Ivy
      In this case the MAGA GOP transphobes Just my opinion of course
    • atlantis63
      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.
