Our offices moved from one floor of the building to another a few months ago. Took me a while to pack and unpack (because I never throw anything away!
)and I miss my better view, but I survived. Wishing an easy move for you. ((arista))
....so do I!....bring me a cookie over here wouldja dear?......
Well, the main thing was hearing about Chris Cornell. That was a shocker
Anyway, I saw a commercial for Michelob today that uses a Cramps song. Seriously?! They are using the Cramps to hawk crappy beer?? My heroes are dying. Figuratively and literally

I am still in shock over Chris. It is going to be a hard time for me for quite awhile.
My husband is the best guy in the world. He brought home some roses for me yesterday. I think I will press them, and keep them when they start to droop.

Another way to preserve them.... When they are fully open, take them and hang them upside down in a spare closet. They will dry in that open form without drooping and will stay that way permanently. Just requires some light dusting now and then.
Thanks, guys. When Mom was released from the hospital Sunday evening she made a lot of strange and incoherent remarks in the car on the way home, one of which was this name "Brian Fairchild." I checked the Internet Movie Database and it's no one involved in TV or movies, including character names, as the search was under "All", and searched the Library of Congress online catalog, and it's no creator of a copyrighted work at least in the digitized catalog. (Plenty of older records are probably still not digitized.) I checked Findagrave and found four entries, on one of whom the dates were kind of interesting. But nothing of any significance. Monday morning Mom seemed uncannily fine and normal. She will start physical therapy soon and undergo cataract surgery on Wednesday.
If they were strange and incoherent remarks could she have been saying something different? Maybe you misheard? Or did she repeat it for you? Maybe she said, "That's not fair, child." I'm glad she was released from hospital.
Good one! She was in the front seat and I was in the back. The first thing was she asked about some male relative, only she kept saying "your father." My sister and I have the same father, who has been dead for nearly ten years! She said something about you know who I mean--his name begins with H. My sister's husband's last name begins with H, her son's first name begins with H, but my sister thought perhaps she meant our other sister's husband. But neither he or our father had an H in their name. Very strange.
Later on she said "renegade," "Brian Fairchild," and asked something about someone having broken their neck or having a suspected broken neck. My sister has one of those newfangled cars that tell the title and artist of whatever song is playing, but neither that nor anything outside the car had anything to do with any of this. The Brian Fairchild reference, as I said, made absolutely no sense. We don't know anyone of that name nor do I know where she might have seen it, nor do we know anyone who had any such injury. When I told her doctor some of this on Wednesday, she said it was "a strange ride as it was all countryside and no towns." I told the doctor the three towns we passed through and what my sister and I said in each of them, and Mom didn't remember this or anything of what she said or did! She seems fairly normal now.
Exciting day. Over 80º. Finished mowing the lawn, which had grown so much it had to be done in sections. First peonies bloomed. Started using the sprinkler to water instead of just throwing water in certain places with a hose.
I got the bad flu yesterday: sneezing, dripping nose, itchy nose, red eyes. It's pretty much alright now but I feel a bit lethargic. I didn't get to sleep till about 3:30 am because I was taking paracetamol. I'm wondering if at my age I should start taking the flu vaccine. I've never had it before.
...certainly can't hurt, may give you some mild symptoms-but will help in the long run......new vaccine will be out in the Fall I would assume.....that's when we start our injections at the prison for those who need or want them.....
Okay, what are you saying here. You make me worry.
For many years I was able to put off perceived or suspected negative opinions of me with the belief that I could redeem myself and either make my existence appear positive to others or create enough security for myself that their crummy opinions wouldn't matter so I could afford to just go about my business and ignore them. Three years ago I learned that a certain key person had a much worse opinion of me than I to that moment remotely suspected. I have been unable to do anything to improve my situation. Neither is anyone else doing anything which actually helps although some wish me well. Also I feel really awful that a person I had for many years believed was overall well-disposed to me would in fact wish upon me an unbearable existence. Barring either a catastrophe or a miracle this will not come out well. I have lived every moment since June of 2014 in an agony of anxiety and it's seriously interfering with everything I need or want to accomplish. The only thing that helps is watching true crime programs about people who killed family members for the insurance, to get rid of them, or just for the heck of it. I'm not capable of killing anyone like that and hopefully they're not capable of doing that to me. So I feel better then but not all that much because if not killed I am alive which is still pretty bad. It's to the point I don't even want to remember anything good in the past because it just makes me feel worse about all I am being called upon to give up, including my perceptions of certain people.
Never give up. Never Cori! We all have our really down moments and we all struggle with people who are negative and add nothing to our lives. But, you just have to keep finding those things that inspire you, that you enjoy. And go places where people with your interests hang out. You need to surround yourself with people who enjoy you!
Hi GNTLGNT, Do you guys keep stats on who gets sick and who doesn't vs. who takes the injections and who doesn't? Just curious. Thx, mal

Can't say I am all that bummed out because I missed the eclipse - we had a heavy cloud cover here as well - guess we will have to settle on watching it on TV or on-line.tryin' to witness eclipse....thru a thunderstorm?
...stats?....not that I'm aware of as it relates to "sickness", though it could be traced through a sick call encounter if needed-but yes, we certainly do trace the injections and refusals.....
