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.
If you have Netflix, please give this a try.
I appreciate that. Prayers are always welcome!
His oncologist says so far, so good. Radiation treatments should be completed near the end of January. He still has hormone injections and another MRI.
We are both very grateful that even though the oncologist described his cancer as ‘aggressive,’ the cancer is contained so it is treatable with radiation.
Her mom was a terrible hoarder. I am sure that is an awful mess to clean up afterwards.
She said that her mom had a reverse mortgage on the home so I suppose the mortgage company now owns the home.
Her mom had gambled her savings away at casinos. So sad.
They are planning to introduce a COVID vaccine.
Every now and then I think about an incident that happened many years ago at Tulane’s primate center on the north shore, (Covington, Louisiana) some of their monkeys escaped and ended up in people’s backyards!
I knew that they were working on a vaccine. Tulane wants at least 60 to 70 percent of people to be vaccinated here.
I was just thinking of her this past weekend. 🤔
I was just wondering the same thing as you posted your comment. I would imagine with this being her first holiday season without her mom it's probably especially hard on her and their family.
I am enjoying the pictures she is sending to me.
She is very active. She’s in a very walkable neighborhood and there are dog parks nearby too.
Her old dog was a poodle! He was spoiled rotten. She loves dogs and was really sad when he died. He had Cushing’s disease.
She is thrilled to have a dog again. She’s working remotely with her company. Denver is going through a surge in COVID cases.
She sent a video of him playing in the snow. I wish that I could go visit.
Not the right time, my husband is doing his radiation treatments for his prostate cancer.
Even if hubby didn’t have cancer, we don’t want to travel during Covid, so I suppose it’s going to be awhile before we meet him.
Husky’s have the most beautiful eyes!
For a moment I misread NHWM's post and thought "gosh, how's a husky going to like New Orleans??? - he'll need to get his hair cut!"
She is in an apartment. It’s dog friendly. When her lease is up she’s going to move to another building that is very dog friendly.
The new building that she is looking at has a floor that has a dog ‘wash’ room with bathtubs to wash the dogs in! Hahaha
I haven’t met him. He’s in Denver but my daughter sent pictures to my phone. He is absolutely beautiful!
My daughter is thrilled to have a fur baby.
You're amazing!!
(((Hugs)))
She sounds great, but after 13 months of AL and memory care she is still wanting to go home!
I know it's not abnormal when dealing with Alzheimer's, but it still breaks my heart!!
In the beginning I tried to deflect. Then I began reminding her that her house was sold. Now I'm back to deflecting (Thank You Covid)!
It's exhausting!!
I adore her!!! And I pray that I am doing the very best for her, but it's a double edged sword!!
And you're right that the data is NOT accurate. This is an example of the stupidity of it and the sloppiness of data collection. I bought some presents online for my niece's family, first time I've ever bought online. All the data input was typed before I connected to the Internet, so no key strokes except Ctrl, C and Ctrl, V could be determined.
Yet when I went to that site to order again, when I copied my name in, the site pulled up and "offered" a selection of names, including those of my deceased parents, and something weird: "State Michigan". That's NEVER been my name!
After some searching, I found out that Edge (that sloppy MS browser) was collecting names and caching them. But I NEVER typed them while online, so the cashing must have occurred just from typing. So now sometimes I type of the alphabet, then cut and paste to create what I want to type, then just copy and paste.
When I can think clearly enough I'm switching to Chrome. Hopefully it doesn't spy on me like MS does.
I'm also angry about the collection of medical data, especially online, by third party sources that host the data input site. I ranted quite a bit here about being advised to enter medical data online, my refusal and battle to keep my information private. This was last year; a resolution was finally reached, but I had to threaten to walk out and have the surgery cancelled before I got the attention the issue deserved.
I often caution people here, when you communicate with people on Social Media, even in private groups and things marked "private message" assume you are announcing whatever you say to the world through a blowhorn. I have a friend who settled a law suit for 150,000 after being libeled on Facebook. Cost a crazy woman's insurance company that amount to settle. And I was amazed to find not only can what you write publically be got easily, but EVERYTHING YOU EVER WROTE, even in a private message or private group can be got with one court subpoena from FB or anywhere else. That's what he got. This person had said libelous things about him on her crazy dog rescue site, but she had, worse, discussed him on FB private messages group style, and what she said was so damning that insurance settled at once. She ran a rescue for pit bulls; as you can imagine her insurance wasn't easy to get. It's unlikely she will ever get insured again on an umbrella policy, so she will likely have to learn to curb her mouth.
My advice is to assume everyone knows everything, keep banking and private stuff OFF computer and phone, and don't say anything ABOUT anyone without assuming you are saying it directly into their very ear. Don't name-call, don't falsely accuse and don't hit at people who can come after you. They don't even need screen shots. They only need a lawyer. My friend M. had to be willing to sink 50,000 in a lawyer to sue; I thought he was nuts to try it. t he was furious, and he came out way ahead.
