Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
His treatment of women (BAD) was something he almost bragged about.
What an unpleasant man.
And the substance abuse just went on and on and on and on.
I have to say, no surprise to me the end.
I would be real surprised if anyone other than himself was responsible for the death he died.
I do recommend that bio. Don't expect to come out of it with an ounce of sympathy.
I went back in, got batteries for my key fob, still wouldn't start, I googled it , I had to do all this strange stuff, open the door 2x , then hit the brakes so many times, to rest my fob. I felt like I was on candied camera , like it was a joke, any ways it worked and I'm home.
Technology is insane
I am so sorry about your friend and neighbor. She's lucky to have you there. I hope you can support her. It is too young in this day and age. I am thankful she has hospice in.
If anyone hears from NeedHelpFromMom I still do think of her and wonder that she's not around or checking in to let us know she needs vaca for a while. She's so faithful here. I would love to know she's thriving and just taking a break.
I get upset when my long term neighbors get very ill, even the ones I don't like. Life just doesn't seem fair. 😞
was the car shaking?
Yes, but found out hours later when at home again. 🍦🍦🍟🍟
Thank you for thinking of me in California.
It was a tough visit, I think my dad is letting go. He is missing my mother and his roommate just died. He’s dealing with a lot of loss. They had a nice friendship, I never figured for him to go first. Just feel sad for my dad. The new guy is very opinionated and really not that friendly.
We accepted an offer on my parents house and my husband and I got rid of 98% of the stuff. Hopefully we close soon. We moved into our new place.I’m not thrilled about spending the money but it is such a nice apartment and Westchester has so many nice little villages to explore. It is a nice change of scenery and I like it.
But I’m exhausted.
More aftershocks

Dh says it is a good thing, he says it releases pressure bit by bit
instead of having the big one.
Take care. Hope Tweety is okay.
An earthquake about 9 p.m. last night has caused frequent aftershocks all night and all day.
Maybe that is what scared my Tweety, but we have not felt it.
Reported 16 hrs. ago:
Earthquake…5.7 magnitude earthquake centered in Mettler, 20 miles southwest of Bakersfield
UPDATE: shaking widely felt across the Antelope Valley and Santa Clarita Valley…numerous aftershock in the 4.0 - 4.5 magnitude range
UPDATE 2: 12 aftershocks have occurred in first 30 minutes after the initial quake
UPDATE 3: as of 10:20pm a total of 62 aftershocks have been recorded.
and that was just last night....aftershock continuing.
Seems silly to check if you are a robot . Only a human would order food .
Instacart has never been instant, and the website freezes up just when I am ready to click on order.
Today, they could not verify that I was human, a new feature.
Of course I am human. The kind that will not wait more than 30 seconds watching that circle spin......
I am tempted to try that.
Sounds like fun, and the cooneys could have their bath.
Good information, one would think my dH would know that!
He is pre-occupied lately, very busy. (In a productive way.)
I had to stop asking him because most of it was misinformation coming back to me. As if he hardly had listened. He will just love discussing this now, about the 3 beams.
No water features on my property.
I thought if we squirt them (coons) with the water hose, they would move on?
Guess not, if they like water.
These smell really bad.
So different from years ago, late nights, sitting in my car, mountaintop Marin Headlands overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, and the racoon family came up with their little paws on my car door, open window, looking for a handout. So cute!
So very cute!
We believe in this heat, it is being triggered by heat waves.
Sad to say, we have not seen any rabbits or bunnies in the area for about two years. So very cute, but don't mind not having the little round poop pebbles they left on the driveway when they became too many.
I know it's just nature, but I was so upset when years back a black cat went after a baby bunny, just to play with it.
Did you know, (hope I got this right), that possums are immune to snake bites, and eat them!
How is it that two possums were replaced by racoons in just a few days?
Hoping they moved on, seen crossing the streets nightly throughout the neighborhood. Maybe they joined a foraging team?
Nature can seem cruel.
Does anybody care that their outdoor kitties are in danger from coyotes, mountain lions, (yes, big ones) and other critters too numerous to mention?
All of God's creatures, happening now.
