How is your day Today? Chat about your plans and achievements 2025....

DIL strongly encouraged me to go to Arts and Crafts. She said she would hang my masterpiece on her refrigerator alongside my grandson’s! Funny. Anyway glad I went! The young woman who ran it played music from my youth and turned out she is a huge Beatles fan and I enthralled her with my stories of the three concerts I attended. I love when our youth appreciates our music
Did one painting of flowers. Another one I just colored. Very therapeutic. My DIL Has good ideas. Yesterday she urged Bingo and glad I listened to her then.
My DIL quite a remarkable and accomplished woman.
 

People! Be nice! (For some reason, probably just-onset dementia, I find all this funny.) Or I will volunteer you to go driving with my son.

This is the man who was about to rear end the car in front of him. I said, that car is going slower than you are. He said, So, I'm going the speed limit. I said, you are going to hit him. Maybe I have dementia-by-association with my son. I hope I didn't just turn this post into a health topic!

This is a 21 year old car, 107,000 miles on it, only driven (until now) by my mom, me, and my daughter. Looks brand new. The goal is that a female in my immediate family will drive it until at least 200,000 miles ... and that it will still look new.

well my car the one that was totalled in July with me in it... had 148k on the clock..... and it still looked in great condition and I'd still have it now if it hadn't been for a lunatic driver....

I haven’t posted on this thread in a while, so I’m not quite sure what all the spitting is about and frankly, I don’t care. I have better things to do than to be contentious on a forum. If that were my intent, I would join a political forum, but I hate politics.

anyway, I did get my 250 pounds of horse feed out of the car and into the garage. It’s still not completely put away but it’s in the garage and that will work for now.

I was harboring the false notion that I would still feel good enough to air up the flat tire on one four wheeler, for the second time. And pull the battery out of the other four wheeler because I’m pretty sure it’s dead.

If the tire goes flat again, that can only mean the tire somehow lost its bead, and that means pulling the💩💩💩💩 thing off, throwing it in the trunk of the car and getting it fixed. Sounds easy when I write it out, but it isn’t easy for me anymore.

The battery on the other four wheeler is only 2-3 years old but when the kids were here, they checked the battery discovered the stink bugs had made a huge nest around it and shorted it out somehow someway.

My nephew charged it up and used it every day he was here, but I have let it sit since he went home and I don’t don’t think it’s holding a charge. I’m almost afraid to open the case because I might find more stink bugs in there again. He said he’d never seen anything like that in his entire life working on the farm.

At any rate, I’m hoping I can at least get the battery out of the one four wheeler tonight so I can take it to town with me, when I have to go tomorrow.

@jujube Is it okay if I'm green with envy? I wish that about a half a gazillion of my family members could all get together again. Like the cousins that I grew up with? That would be so fun and interesting to hear what they've all been doing all these years.

@Mizmo and @hawkdon and @Trish et al: I made dough for cranberry/orange scones. It's in the fridge and ready to bake in the morning.

I'm usually up by 7 latest. Y'all c'mon. I'll put the coffee on...

Wish I could join you @Georgiagranny. :)

Got to the gym, been training at home on the last couple weeks so it was good to see the place. Loaded the truck which my wife drove down to the storage, where I met her after my last motorcycle ride of the season. It was windy and cold on the little 250, getting buffeted by the wind; it doesn't even have a windscreen.

My MC season started February 28th so that was a good long season, with lots of learning and excitement, some bad moments, and some great ones. I'll digest this season over the next couple of months, do a couple online courses, and come back a better rider next season.

Heading to Boise tomorrow to drop my camper off for a couple upgrades and my daughter will give me a ride back as it the start of her Thanksgiving break from teaching. We might pick up some Indian take away for dinner since my favorite Thai joint is closed Monday's.

When HD went through a divorce, she was bitter and frustrated. We listened and expressed our sympathy.

It helps to vent anger and to have a medium to express it. Some will listen and sympathize, while others might even be annoyed. But, I think, we should never try to discourage someone who cries for help no matter how it is being expressed.

The world is full of cruelty; let’s try to make it better; let's try to be tolerant.

God loves you, and so do I.

BTW, my father died on the consequences of having been a political prisoner in former communist East Germany. Free speech was not tolerated,

it's the same here, almost all the Chinese and Thai take away places are closed on Mondays....
 
I started my Christmas tonight with a lovely performance of the highlights of The Nutcracker. It was in an amphitheater with well over 1000 people sitting on the grass or in chairs.

The sun was setting with spectacular colors and a "fingernail moon" hung over the scene. It couldn't have been better weather.

Tomorrow the gang starts arriving. I'm looking forward to see a couple of cousins who I haven't seen for years, including the "baby" who turns 60 next month.

The weather us perfection up here in the Florida Panhandle, but it's supposed to get a bit colder for Thanksgiving day.

I'm going to go down to the beach tomorrow to do some wading. No swimming, though.

Good morning to everyone. A warm start of the day, 69 degrees and middle 80's this afternoon.

We need to get our fallen leaves gathered up but trees are still losing them. I will have to call my lawn mower guy as it is so messy on the lawn.

I am making preparations for Thanksgiving dinner. It will just be the two of us this year but still want a nice dinner.

Have a great day today and stay well. :)
 
Ho de ho...peeps...I'm back from physio...it's such a horrible wet day out there and the traffic is horrendous....so I decided just to pop into Aldi's on the way back and pick up a few things.. and then just come straight home

I don't like Aldi tbh.. they have so little on the shelves at our local one, and there's no excuse for it, it's a fairly new store.... but I can never get milk in there for example.... and today was no different every single cage empty....

Once upon a time I would go into Aldi in the lead up to Christmas and get all sorts of inernational Fancy foods... not now!

Anyway good thing I only needed some fruit today.....(y)
