Just want to mention that clearly the tree was muting the sound from next door as I suspected it might have been. There are no children in this road..except.. the children next door to me who are Eastern Europeans and their parents in a rental property... I was in my livingroom today and noticed that I could hear the children in their garden even with my windows closed.. that's not good...

Glad you mentioned this. I was curious about it, after you'd considered the possibility beforehand.

Perhaps consider replacing it with a few smaller trees or shrubs? :unsure:

Now that the suggestion came to my mind, I realize that any other plants would be smaller than that one was.

I did think of this.. and I am currently looking now for a fast growing shrub to take up that space.. The only problem is that while searching , I've discovered that all the fast growing shrubs ( except Bamboo).. are already in my garden.. Choysia.. Red Robin , Laurel..etc and of course I have all the hedging.. don't want more hedging.. ... so I'm not quite sure what to do

I think they sell some sort of sound-absorbing paneled fencing-type structures, here....but likely those cost a bundle. I'm just trying to brainstorm, so that you or someone might think of something more doable and possibly effective, than my suggestions.:)

thanks for thinking Kaila.. it's ok really.. I know the kids are loud, but they're kids so not absolutely awful... I think just finding something that's fast growing, evergreen, and non shedding.. is the way to go...
 
Awesome!!!!! I love them!!!
Thanks Trila, that's a good sign since I'm not too familiar with their music. What I've played on youtube sounds pretty mainline grunge era classic rock so will be dancing tonight.

Afterward noticed I got the concert date wrong. Not yesterday but instead it is today Sunday 7/9. Supposedly plenty of tickets as late era Nickelback doesn't have a large fan base here. Went into ticketmaster and cheapest tickets still showed $36 plus maybe $10 in fees. So instead went to stubhub and that showed a $5 ticket and then $6 but those tickets were taken before my ending a buy. But then got a $7 ticket that was $17.70 with fees. First time buying via the new ticketmaster transfer system. But after a couple dozen windows on 2 computers, now have the entry barcode for tonight on my smartphone so am good to go.

Also have Dead & Company shows for next Friday and Sunday (last show of final tour) up in San Francisco at the SF Giants stadium that am considering doing a transfer for the Friday show. Bought that nose bleed ticket for $98 so will monitor what post sales sites are showing. Not being greedy but just attending the Sunday last show of the group is my main interest.
 
I was a bit put out today tbh... My neighbour who is about 8 or 10 years younger than me, has always been very slim... lately she's become almost worryingly thin.. but she still seems to be healthy enough, and she's out and about all the time ..... however, I did notice today that on her skinny arms.. and I mean..bone covered with skin, is how thin they are... she has Bingo wings... :oops::oops:...good lord tell me.. how fair is it to get Bingo wings when you're really slim ?
 
It's a remark on what we saw yesterday. At least 4 Anorexic-looking girls. Two a bit plumper almost naked with the clothes they were wearing. One had shorts that were way too short lol, her bum cheeks were hanging by half.

The other one had some kind of skirt, no bigger than a handkerchief with a top that was just a bustier on top of her bra, showing a tong type undergarment.

Then a while later, you read in the newspaper that these girls were attacked!!!

At the end of the day, rules haven't changed much since our days. Wear whatever at home. Outdoors dress sensibly. Simple, no?
 
Today I will be mostly cleaning my apartment. Did all my laundry yesterday and it is still drying in the shower. I will be putting that away later. Cleaning the NuWave oven, which takes me awhile. Then going to mop floors and vacuum. Tomorrow I will be going to a dental appointment so want to get a lot done today. Right now I am making hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot. I like to keep them in the refrigerator for something quick. Later making pork shoulder roast for supper.

It is still quite smokey in our air so I am sadly not going to the park or even going outside unless I have to. Taking mullein extract to keep my lungs healthy because of the smoke particles in the air. Though I have no issues with my lungs and hoping to keep it that way.
 
@katlupe, did your latest aid work out? (I may have missed something). I only as b/c if the agency providing them is funded by Medicare/Medicaid, then their failure to provide services while still getting funding would be a misuse of funds. May need to be reported. (I may be over-thinking this but I’m concerned)

In other news, Ed (my Prince Among Men) is having surgery today to remove his gallbladder. He should come through fine but I’d appreciate prayers for his quick recovery

Well???? How was it? Was it awesome? I really do wish that I had an opportunity to see them!

I never did understand what was ment by "grunge band"....but I know that I like Nickelback!!!! My favorite video is Saturday Afternoon. It makes me laugh, especially the beginning. 😉

Sorry to say, I've never heard of David and Company, but.....enjoy!
 
Electric runs my water heater which heats the water at the sinks as well. I turn on the shower and water comes out, maybe water pressure too? Never thought about it that much. Maybe we just don't call them electric showers.
When you get down to basics, electricity runs just about everything. Years ago we had a gas water heater, but you don't see those very much anymore.

You definitely have more energy than I do! Good for you! (you keep busy cleaning, I'll just stay out of your way in the corner......💤💤💤)

I have mullein growing wild everywhere here. I never heard of taking it for lung health (or any other reason) I wonder if these are the plant that they use for your preventive medicine. 🤔
 
Will deal with AccessARide for tomorrow. It's the first time in weeks. Not looking forward to it, but my son has been picking me up & dropping me off for last few weeks, but that is only because of my birthday "celebrations" and my sister's death.

Tomorrow invited for a pool day at son's rooftop. Has gorgeous view of city. Invited for dinner. Invited for next Tuesday too, but can't go, have doctor appointments. My son is doing everything he can to cheer me up. It's going to take a while.

Remembering book title "Been Down So Long Feels Like Up to Me" by, I think, Richard Farina who I think was Joan Baez' brother-in-law back in the day. Think I got that right. I'll think I'll try to find that book again. Very trippy, if I remember right. Wonder if a library has it. Back in the day when everyone I knew was alive.
 
Good morning breakfast clubbers!!!! Dunno for sure what
I am up to this day....last eve ordered me a new tv will be here

Nope she did not show up the last two days that she was scheduled for. Never called. The agency called me and said she wanted to work more hours. The agency is being paid by Fedilis Care which is the insurance agency that Medicaid assigned to me. But everything they do is only on the condition that I need an aide. I don't really need one.

I accepted it because they will pay for my dental work. Otherwise I can't get it done and I need it. They want me to just find 15 hours of work for her??? My apartment is 338 sq.ft. It is clean all the time. I am fussy and particular about how I do things. Plus, how good is it to encourage a person to sit around and watch someone else clean their home if they can do it themselves? I can hardly stand the time when an aide is here. I watch the clock the whole time.

Rooftop pool party sounds awesome! I have always loved the rooftop patios that Cash Jordan shows on his YouTube channel. Have fun!
