I hate the bitter cold. I can’t even imagine living with long winters and snow.

Yet, I hate dry heat like Arizona and Nevada has.

Louisiana is a freaking swamp with horrible humidity! Our area has it’s fair share of rainfall too.

Every area has its pros and cons, I suppose. There is no utopia.

I would love to live in an area that has beautiful fall colors. I enjoy going to New England in the fall. It’s gorgeous, but I wouldn’t deal well with their long winter season.

I want spring and fall weather all year round! 😝

Relative humidity can be confusing because it is a ratio based on air temperature, I mean logically 100% humidity should be water but of course it's not.

Nacy,

Our humidity is awful.

I swear, every time I visit California or Colorado, I say that I don’t want to come back to living in Louisiana.

Louisiana is a swamp. Very hot and very humid!

My daughter wants to eventually move back to Denver.

She was living in Colorado for a few years after graduating college. She loved it! She is struggling with being back in our humidity.

Who knows where she will end up? Her boyfriend is living in Austin now. They fly back and forth to see each other.

Nacy,

Haven’t seen it. There have been so many shows that don’t get the vibe of New Orleans. Locals laugh at the way the media has portrayed us. The dialect is usually wrong.

Have you watched it? If so, what did you think of the show?

Dear all, I don’t want to explain why. It’s not about my health. Please if you’re willing, pray for me. Thank you.

Nacy, Sometimes the sinuses can get all messed up and mixed in with inner ear things as well, causing a kind of vertigo. I am hoping this will pass over the next month.

@ Nacy

My brother, a gay man, was born in 1935.
The changes he saw in his lifetime were AMAZING to him.
He lived to 2020, and saw so much. He entered the Army as a gay man, and I have to tell you that Gay-dar (taken from radar) was a real thing. A gay man knew a gay man at once unless very closeted. They did just fine on his Oklahoma base. He was truly well accepted, but he was always such a fine man. They called him "the Banker" because he was such a saver that he sent home most of his check to be saved but still could front money to those out of funds near payday (interest free loans).
Coming home he moved into the big city of Chicago, and as a young suited professional he had gay friends a plenty. In that day and age almost all of them had women friends who posed as wives for those who "needed wives" (bankers, lawyers, some other professionals in corporate world).
He came to the Castro of San Francisco when the Castro was the CASTRO. I lived in SF also and we stared down the aids crisis together, he a gay man, me a nurse.

Before he died my brother got to see a gay man run for President without a whole lot of fuss or muss.

The times they are achangin, and like my old Irish nurse always said, they change one coffin at a time. I am 81 and have finally reached the times of it's all too much for me with the whole "how do you wish to identify today". Even my daughter is saying "but it isn't even correct GRAMMAR all the these, thems, and theys.
But there you are, my coffin's popping up any moment now! The world will just keep changing. Of that we can be certain.

Send,

We were discussing Celine Dion’s health and how she is dealing with a rare disease. Sorry for not mentioning her by name in each post. Nothing personal or private.

Apologies for my confusion. I feel that I was going to be intruding into a private conversation trying to find out who "She" was.
After scrolling back to yesterday, I now know.

My dH always criticizes that I use too many personal pronouns and he cannot follow the conversation or know who I am referring to, after the first "she said, he said".

It was about celebrities. I guess it was a private conversation.

Nacy,

Because she grew up so poor she didn’t eat very much. Audrey Hepburn was the same way. Audrey was the goodwill ambassador for UNICEF.

They were both incredibly thin.

Nacy,

She’s an interesting woman.

She grew up extremely poor. She fell in love with her manager at a very young age.

She’s had an incredible career. She has three sons that she is raising.

She started having health issues and had no idea what was going on. No one did. I can’t imagine having a disease that rare.

It tortured her to hide her pain. She felt incredible relief after she stopped hiding that she was suffering.

She remains hopeful and hasn’t lost her sense of humor. She’s an amazing woman.

Anyone else watching the Celine Dion interview with Hoda?

She just said that trying a lot of things when you don’t know what is going on can kill you.

Wow! She was taking 90 milligrams of Valium in a day to try to get her muscles to relax so she could sing. She didn’t know that she was taking too much.

I feel so badly for her. No one knew that she was suffering for so long. She hid it. She was taking care of her dying husband. Two days after her husband died, her brother died. Very sad.

This rare neurological disease, Stiff Person Disease that she has only affects one in a million people. That’s crazy, huh? The disease is progressive and doesn’t have a cure.

I am glad that she was finally able to speak out about it. She couldn’t lie anymore.

I was in Girl Scouts for many years and we loved rounds:
Make New Friends
White Coral Bells
I Like the Flowers
Ho Young Rider (interesting one, Slavic origin)

And there was the "Canoe Paddle Song" (which has several variations in the lyrics):

My paddle's keen and bright,
Flashing like silver,
Follow the wild goose flight.
Dip, dip and swing.
Dip, dip and swing her back.
Flashing like silver.
Follow the wild goose flight.
Dip, dip and swing.

I was a summer camp kid/employee most of my childhood! Lots of those songs sure bring back some memories!
