The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

[Rj_1954]

Morning as it it doesn’t sound good to Wat or OM. No power, cold, and no drinking water is a crap way to start the day. I am assuming MissK and RJ have dug out of the snow dumped on them yesterday.

So wishing you all a better day with power, drinking water and heat.

I have taxi duty today. It’s just cold out and will be that way for the next week or so. It’s winter in Michigan.

I'm good. I got dug out with only one misshap...I slipped on ice and fell in a snow pile. I'm OK
I have to take Mrs Rj to the chiropractor around noon today so I'll be leaving soon.

If in arrears, could make driving for a shower an expensive outing. Those that write tickets love issuing that one b/c of the sticker shock.

Looks like you may be new... here's the standard intro for newcomers:

Welcome to the café.

We do things a bit differently here than most of the rest of Lit. But here’s how we roll.

1. If ya wanna talk about your jacking off habits there are probably other threads that are better fits for you.
2. We’re not too sexual here. Think of it as a bunch of old folks at a bar or at a coffee joint. We also don’t hit on the women here. There’s about 673832 other threads for that.
3. No politics, religion or drama.

Everyone is welcome but we are protective of the vibe we have here. This applies to all who visit this thread.

If this feels like a good match, welcome... if not you may have better luck on another thread.

Thanks for the welcome. And "yes" it's a good comfortable fit.
That being said the bacon is done (mmmm, bacon!) and bagged up for snacks, *my clothes folded (wife folds like a lumberjack knits), moms eating breakfast and the kids are done with school.
Time to head to town for supplies before the weather gets bad and to visit the docs office to straighten out Mom's meds schedule.

How long does a outage typically last?

Well happens too often here. And this was about 4 1/2 hours. Of course bitter cold out which doesn't help. 3,800 without power at one time down to 1,600 now.

Not enough Epi-Pens in the world.
Interesting from a clinical POV - but it ends there.
Have fun.

Did you watch it? It's really quite funny.

 

[dkak001]

This is personal property taxes. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, that sort of thing.

Personal property tax should be illegal!
How the F**K can they get away taxing you on things you work for/saved for/inherited. Down right unamerican!
(We don't have it here, or I'd be royally screwed!)

My that's not good. We were out three days once I said enough of that I wired in a generator. Enough for lights fridges and furnace.... Seems infrastructure has suffered not kept up

In Ohio all school taxes and property taxes are waived for residents at age 70 who are retired with no income. Ain't being a senior & retired great...

Hmm... *starts looking at Ohio retirement locations*

Good thing you had a snow pile to cushion your fall. We've had next to nothing for snow this year - and what we did get has mostly been washed away by freezing rain over Christmas.
Safe travels to/from the appointment today.

Thanks for the welcome. And "yes" it's a good comfortable fit.

Good you're getting on top of the meds schedule.
It can get tricky if certain meds need to be taken with or apart certain other meds, supplements, or foods.

Second cups anybody?

I'd settle for firsts.
Note to self: Remember to wake up earlier on Wednesdays to make coffee before the work day starts... or you may never get any.
Update: I do have coffee now - just waiting for it to cool enough to drink

Did you watch it? It's really quite funny.

I watched the whole dang thing!
This is one food experiment I will not even consider. In fact, I would prefer to be several hundred miles away from anyone attempting it - especially on "Filtering Day"

Hey guys. Just wanted to share with you, that my mother passed away yesterday afternoon.

The last 1.5 days for her were trying and painful, but she was in hospice and getting morphine and an anti anxiety med, so that helped. I was with her at the end…

Anyway - just wanted to let you all know too. No arrangements, just a few memorials. Thanks all for your understanding, love and support, good vibes, prayers, and well wishes.

It meant a lot to me and Mrs Wonderer. (I couldn’t exactly tell my sisters and daughter that the literotica crew were thinking of us… )

Oops . . . .

I'm very sorry for your loss. But it's my thought that she's in a much better place. One without pain, turmoil, or strife. The ones passing before her preparing for her arrival, making sure that everything's just right and she can be rejoined by them. As she and they start preparing for the ones to follow. I've often thought that living our lives is truly serving penance for what our futures hold. Know that she and all your family will be in our thoughts, and prayers.

I talk about you guys occasionally... you are my " online book club friends"

Well I am sure she was glad to have her loved ones close.

We are still thinking of you all and sending our love....xxx

Think of it this way you work and pay taxes, you retire and collect your pension, social security, and investments, you pay taxes. Going in and coming out.
