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.
Just to say: every insurance policy is a bet. You are betting that something bad (or expensive, anyway) will happen. Your insurer is betting that it won't. You never exactly *want* to prove your insurer wrong!
What bothers me the most is other's take on it. "No, it is not an earthquake, I am just walking behind you."
Celebrate!
God bless America, land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with the light from above
From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America, my home sweet home

I remember the earthquake here in Wash DC a few years ago. First I thought it was the cat under my office chair rubbing the chair because it was shaking a bit. Then when I heard items on my shelves rattling, my eyes got big. I ran out of the house and so did the neighbors on my cul-du-sac. I was shaking like a leaf, so I know what you were feeling.
Here years ago before the earth quake, I told my insurance carrier I wanted earthquake insurance and he looked at me like my hair was on fire. He said this area never gets earthquakes. Ah ha, proved him wrong.
Salami and Provolone Cheese sandwich was our dinner last night.
Did you feel any earthquakes?
PTSD re: earthquakes. I do well with more facts. Otherwise, I am going to start moving the furniture around......
I am ok, I think. No damage, bird cage on floor, heart is shaking. Waaaah!
6.4 somewhere between L.A. and Las Vegas, @ Ridgecrest, CA. in San Bernardino County.
We are having an EQ in So. Calif. at 1733 UTC (10:33 a.m.) and if accurate, Vancouver B.C. area also.....
It is the U.S.A. who fought in a war to FREE THE SLAVES.
Proud to be an American.
Me too Polarbear, me too.
So blessed to live in this country.
Happy Day Everyone.
Happy that the USA was born.
Happy to live in this great country.
I need a midnight snack - ice cream, chocolate, or ......
salami and cheese !

I have resorted to going outside, driving my car out the driveway so they have to move.
If there is room for both cars, I park until another car comes by and makes the idler move.
Neighbors love to talk to passers by, they stop and leave their cars idling. I make sure if I do stop, I turn off my engine.
But if there are idling laws, I will find them!
Do Unto Others...
Stupid fat beardy man has been sitting in his SUV for ten minutes outside my living room window running his stupid diesel engine. I've been popping my head up and shaking my fist at him every couple of minutes, he's just looked up from his cellphone, and he's wearing a clerical collar. Doesn't make me any less annoyed with him though.
Glad you said today's the day Send~Thanks!
timeanddate.com.....happening now.
Something to do from home.
Not visible in USA?
The sun will be eclipsed by the New Moon.
But fb I hate it!
I tried to quit, but would miss seeing my family on there.
After eating two chocolate cake donuts the night before, I did eat only 1/2 of the apple fritter for breakfast. It was good, just not my favorite. So you are right.
But once a year, I could eat a whole bag of fritos chili flavor---back when I was younger, that is. Just last year!
"Gurus"!!! That is what I call "them" too! Lots to not say on that topic, after having to unfriend their political views on fb. Some guru advice is good, it is just that even they can't follow it, imo.
A new HMO for health insurance means I will be seeing all new doctors.
I allow myself to stand and gaze at the confectionery aisle. Then I say "you will eat all of them and you will be sick and your teeth will hurt. Step away."
Sigh. I think if you're the sort of person who can eat half a Mars Bar or save some chips for later you can't really like them.
It is 5 a.m. here now, so I am going back to sleep-the old person's phrase for
I should crash, lol Gershun.
I had something on my mind before coming here, but it also flew out the window.
That is a good thing.
It cheers me up no end to be reminded that nothing is *really* getting worse. It's just us!
I'm getting old so the celebrations seem tacky. And the docs and cops are too young and I've fallen and I can't get up. LOL
Acorn stair lift in my future and everything.
Yes, I'm becoming an old fossil.
Next thing I'll be shaking my fist and saying things like "you young whippersnappers"
Gotcha cm!
Always wanted to use that word in a sentence. Obtuse, that is.
Aren't celebrations getting tacky these days... Gershun, are you sure this isn't in the same category as police officers and doctors being far too young?
