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.
It's a sad, mixed up world we live in.
I totally agree. God has to be incredibly broken-hearted. There’s no words to describe something so awful.
I can’t begin to imagine how the families and friends feel or the entire community there. I’m so sorry all of you are experiencing this hellish nightmare. 😢
Will pray for all of you.
This morning three ambulances passed me heading towards the hospital, and four more passed me in the opposite direction heading towards the active shooting at a high school incident, where teenage children died.
This afternoon, on the same route, Party/Event trucks were headed with many chairs to the same area for events to be held as the community mourns their losses, and the Sheriff's truck and Emergency vehicles were headed back to the station.
If we think on this, maybe we don't need a philosopher?
Your thoughts are not weird.
I just know that God is very near to the brokenhearted.
I’ve felt like that too. If a young person dies I suppose we feel that they were cheated out of a full life.
It gets to me when I hear of babies dying. That is when we ask ourselves, “Why? Just why?”
Sorry about your mom’s neighbor. He was very young. Sadly, the upcoming holiday season will be very rough for his family, friends, coworkers and neighbors.
I have weird thoughts at times. Sometimes I wonder is it better to die young and have lived a great life, no matter how short, rather than a long tortured life.
Even stranger thought, if we were given a choice of whether we want to enter this world or not, would we? Hmmmm... If we could have had a sneak preview like they show at the movies.
Do you think as humans we would be so curious, so adventurous, that we would automatically jump on the band wagon for the ride?
Dreams have always fascinated me. Is our existence after we die similar to a dream like state? Or is this life the dream like state?
Those who have had near death experiences have said that while in the near death experience they actually felt more alive than ever before.
The other thing that blows my mind is some people think we choose the family that we are born into. Oh gosh, what about reincarnation?
There are so many beliefs and theories. Age old questions. There are those that believe in the Bible word for word. Some people believe in only parts of it, feeling that it is dated or not completely true. How did we get to having a bazillion different denominations of religious beliefs?
Okay, I need to find a philosopher! LOL
havent had a tamal from el pollo in years, but it was a far cry from an authentic east la tamal
need to whine for a moment. I am stuck in endless cycle. I go a few months eating reasonably well and excercising regularly. I feel great physically and mentally and sleep better. Then something happens and I fall off the wagon, start eating poorly, sleep like sh**, and stop excercising because I feel tired all the time. This weekend, after a long “off the wagon” period, I got fed up with feeling so poorly and got myself back on the wagon. This means clean eating, portion control and NO nighttime snacking (my worst habit) as well as cutting back on coffee. I was drinking 2-3 cups a day which I don’t think is a lot BUT i put 3-4 tablespoons of creamer in each cup so the calories add up.
So i was expecting the hardest part to be hunger while getting used to smaller lighter meals and no night time snacks. Boy was I wrong! It was cutting back on the coffee that nearly did me in! For the last 2 days I had a bad headache that started when I woke up Wednesday morning. I had one cup of coffee Wednesday morning and took some Advil that afternoon and got a little relief but it never went away. Also felt foggy. Yesterday I had one cup in the morning and still the headache persisted. I had a cup of green tea in the afternoon and took some Advil’s and still it lingered. I was starting to worry I have a brain tumor! Woke up this morning and my head still hurt but as soon as I had my coffee, it went away completely and knock on wood, hasn’t come back! Must have been caffeine withdrawal!
Look good in the coupons received by mail.

Thanks for your examples about how to control your sleeping schedule.
Self-discipline is always the key to a better life.
Tweety has his own internal clock, and his schedule affects mine.
I agree. Very sad about the horses.
hoca, errands, chores, bills
Spring forward, Fall backwards.
RE: B/P education...
A diagnosis of hypertension or just incorrectly taken and recorded readings in one's medical record can cause one to be denied life insurance (or be assigned to an expensive high risk policy).
Same problem with health insurance...having a "pre-existing" condition can raise your rates, or cause you to be denied.
Over the years I have heard that it is the fault of Ben Franklin, but I thought I remembered when the clock adjustment started. Finally looked it up and always relieved to find out I am not imagining remembering things that have happened during my lifetime.

I suppose people still dance at weddings, but nobody invites the general public to the party any more the way they did when I was young - in those days it was almost a competition to see how many people you could attract to your reception (with a cash bar it was a good money maker too).
As far as I can see, the difficulty is more about what young people would like to do with their leisure time other than getting drunk. Actually, there is LOADS for young people to do; it's just that when you think of examples you know you're going to sound like someone's Great Aunt Hilda if you suggest them.
Line dancing got big again ten years or so ago, didn't it? - do you think these things just go in cycles?
