G’afternoon all. Hope your weekend is relaxing. This morning was some much needed range therapy. Dropped a van load of donations off (another load waiting to be taken tomorrow). Now it’s time for football. 4 teams I follow, the Broncos, CU Buffs, CSU Rams, and Army are all playing today/tonight. It’s going to be a good night if they all win. Have a good rest of your Saturday, and enjoy your Sunday.

Mid 60s -early 70s.
Even small strokes can mess with personality. My mom has a small a few years ago, she refuses to get tests or treatment and for about 2yrs she was 25% mom and 75% this mean depressed person which she had never been before, then she came back.

*comes in and hugs whomever wants them*

I was napping but I will definitely take a couple! Thank you. I needed that! Especially after the weird dreams of my nap.

Ham and pintos tomorrow...I got super hungry and opened up a can of chicken noodle soup. It was pretty good.... and I need a nap

I just got up from an app myself. Highly recommend!

Only thing I would change is to have either slept in a quiet room or better curate what was playing in the background. Strange, strange dreams today. Sometimes naps are like that but in this case I think it was influenced by what was playing in the background.
(cycled to some kids' show.)

Thank you! It’s the husband of old friends. It’s frustrating not to be able to do much as they have done so much for me over the years. He’s a great cook and has never gotten my food allergies wrong.

Old friends. That means they probably know you well. Don't underestimate the power of just being with someone. Hope you are able to visit them soon. Just showing up is so so important.

I’m watching a 40+ yr old marriage split apart. One spouse is acting mean, and strangely, the other is crushed. I wonder if something is physically wrong with the mean one. In the past I’ve have seen elderly people seemingly go nuts from
Urinary tract infections and pneumonia that they didn’t realize they had.
I’ve also seen people do this when cheating, even if it’s just emotional.
The crushed one doesn’t know what to think and is lost and angry.
I can understand that feeling, but I don’t know how to help other than hugs and listening.

As someone else mentioned, I'm so sorry you have to see this happen to your friends. It's a horrible position to be in. I hope there's a resolution soon.

I am gonna stop ordering citrus with my grocery order

Do you all remember when I asked for 2 oranges and they brought 2- 5 labs of red grapefruit?

Well I ordered 3 oranges and they brought me oranges...... 2- 8 pound bags

What in all holy hell am I gonna do with 16 pounds of navel oranges

Hahahahahaha

Maybe a call to your store is in order?

One of our stores did that for a while. They had their website set up wrong or their computer set up wrong. Options being surfaced to the customer were for individual pieces of fruit but on the store's end it was Bunches of bananas and bags of citrus.
So when I got two bunches of bananas, thankfully I was only charged for two individual bananas. But I was going door to door making friends giving bananas away. In a good week I can maybe eat a max of two bananas. There's no way in hell I could ever deal with two bunches. If I did I would be making almost a dozen loaves of banana bread. And I don't have enough room in my freezer for that either. Haha.
The store did catch on and made a change. But those were interesting times.

Wow! Look at those prices. How old is that image??
Or are those 2 ounce snack options for Cheetos and Dr. Pepper???

How awful! I'm glad you were able to get her back again.

Yes, I lived with them after major surgery and they are part of my emergency room posse.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get there, though I’ve sent things and call them. Everyday I try to get there so hopefully soon.

Thank you! Now she keeps hitting her head but her personality is intact.

Cold and damp here, too. Not as cold as it could be, and the wind ain't a-blowin'.


When Calypso was alive and when it rained, he'd let his buddy Telly inside the barn and then he'd stand in the doorway and keep the other two horses about in the rain. He and Telly were taller, so it was like the "must be this tall to ride this ride" sign, and he enforced it. First, the old white horse, Lafitte, died April of '23 and then Calypso died in July. He's not there to enforce it, but Gawyn (the dark brown horse) has it down as learned behavior. Funny thing is, Telly acts like his barn permission has been revoked. There is the ghost of a Danish warmblood standing where the photographer is, keeping these horses partly in the rain. Telly is the red horse. He's also at least got the thinking part out of the weather.

Night everyone!

 

[Wonderer67]

Good Morning everyone,
It's going to be a nice day today..almost 60° F in my area & sunny
Now just have to find somewhere to go...

Sounds like a great day! Hope it was a great one!

 

[Wonderer67]

That is funny.... I AM going to attempt to clean out this filter thing on my front load washer. They have pictures. I can't help but think this is totally a boy job.... like fixing the pull cord thingy on my lawnmower because people will borrow it and crank on it and pull it out so it doesn't retract..... it only requires a gentle pull... prob because I maintain stuff .....

You go K!!

My best friend had a ‘74 Gremlin, blue w white stripes and the little Gremlin on the back (which I don’t see on the above?), had a straight six, with a 3 speed stick I want to say…it might have been a 4, but I do remember, It would fry the one rear tire driving in 3 gears! . Surf racks on top, we made quite the impression rolling up and piling out. Maybe for all the wrong reasons but we got noticed! . Fun times

Sounds like that thing was a real runner!

Hope the fondue joint worked out.
