Hey you Jani.....My goats only eat out of cans as well.  Tons of grain placed in them to keep the rodents at bay.  The poor things never get to chew on can as well.

 

Jackie that's a beautiful cat!

 

Hugs,

He is cute.  I miss having cats.  Our dogs do not do well with them so that's were we are.  I love dogs just as much  LOL

 

S'okay. His name is Bodhi by the way. Not my fault, that's the name he came with. Like all my cats, he's a foundling. Anyway, that particular cat HATES dogs with a passion. I had both growing up and they got along famously. I don't mind dogs, but cats and I have a certain understanding. I much prefer their energy. Besides, Susan and I don't have time to properly raise a puppy.

 

Hugs!

That is such a good name, from Bodhisattva. (a person who is able to reach nirvana but delays doing so out of compassion in order to save suffering beings.)   I like cats too but cannot live with them any longer due to my lung issues.

Well that big storm that hitting everyone has hit New England and travel the past couple days have been terrible.  My commutes were long enough traveling at 60-65 mph.  Now I'm going a blistering 15 mph.  I am always grateful for snow plows but not being behind them.  LOL

So my coffee ran out well before I got to work both days.  

I hope everyone else is staying safe and warm.

Down here by the coast it was a mix of sleet and snow so only a couple inches of accumulation.  Going to fire up the loader soon and clear the driveway and mailbox area.  Drive carefully @ShawnaLeigh.

A balmy 9 above right now. To flipping cold for this girl. On days like this I just want to stay in the house not going anywhere. May go out and see if I can get the truck started. I think it is the key chip, which I removed and taped above the lock cylinder. Electrical tape gets hard when cold, and it may have moved. 

 

Tomorrow Me and the wife go to Scottsbluff, NE. To visit my middle son. Then head to visit my oldest in Lincoln on the second.

 

Everyone traveling be safe and keep warm.

I drove around a bit this afternoon, post coffee.

Lots of traffic. Can't say I enjoy iy, but the scenery was wonderful - bright sunny day in the Ozarks, temps in 40s and 50s.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy new year!

I'm just glad I didn't wake up with a hang over.... Dressed in my cutest winter wear - playing Microsoft solitaire challenges. Hope everyone had a good new year's!

Yep! We're fortunate to be in Sweden for the new year but we're currently holed up in our hotel room streaming the Rose Parade live from warm Pasadena California. Love the pretty floats and flowers!!

Didn't get to see the Rose parade this morning. We left for Scottsbluff. Here now with my grandson staying with us. Went swimming, pool was empty beside the four of us.

 

But the Rose parade brings back good memories, My oldest son performed with the Wyoming all state High School marching band in 2004.

Good morning! Coffee is so good on this grey dreary (dreich) day!

I have to get some tools and supplies to do some minor craftwork. My studio windows are not very weather tight, so with the heat on it's all I can do to get the temps up to the mid 50s. I'm going to make some removable, light duty interior storm windows to help keep the weather (and the bugs) out.

Wishing everyone a pleasant start to the new decade!

Well I do have a bit of sunshine in my otherwise cloudy start to my new year.  I managed to hit one of my goals for loosing weight!

At my max I was 286 at 5’7”. 
Today I weigh 167.5.  
This was a personal goal as it was my weight when I was honorable discharged from the USAF back in 1997.  
My over all goal is to float someplace between 150-160 and then pray for hips butt and chest.  Lol

I hope everyone is having a great day!

Congratulations! My weight goal is still elusive. I'll make it there. Eventually.

In the meantime, if you happen to corner the hips, butt and chest fairy, I'd like to have a word with her. I didn't receive my portion. ?

Good morning. Already on the road for work, got my coffee to hopefully help me wake up. Kind of a dreary day. Calling for the white stuff tonight or tomorrow. Don’t mind the snow just hate shoveling ?

Hi, we had a good New Years Eve, but a sad New Year’s Day.  Our daughter and granddaughters had to leave to go home.  Even our dog has been mopping.

 

Had some Nescafé this morning.  We are out of ground coffee.  
 

I’m on my way to see if I can get out of this air cast this morning.  Then going to go to Group this evening.  Two hours each way but it’s worth it.  Far better group than any that are closer.  I just can’t go with any regularity.

 

i wish everyone a great year.  May your desires come true.

Are you using anti-track software? I find that mine doesn't play nice with the site.

I have not changed anything so I am not sure.  This is a work laptop that I use at home and work.  So maybe there was some update.  I had noticed that even while on my personal phone I am having it go in and out.

Could be the WiFi at the hospitals too.

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.
    • Heather Shay
      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.
