Sorry, to each his or her own taste. If you've read the Lee Child books, I think you would agree that Tom Cruise was an unlikely choice to play Jack Reacher. I think Lee Child wound up buying the rights back from Mr. Cruise and working out a new deal with Amazon.

The movies weren't bad, but I kept looking at Tom Cruise and thinking, "Why is the giant ex-military policeman -- the meanest, toughest SOB on the planet -- being played by a v

Replacing the driver's side brake caliper on my 2008 Toyota Corolla. And then later, washing the cars, as it will be in the 30's today, which is a heat wave around here this time of year. If time, I will finish and prime some drywall and then later work on my family trees.

Sounds like fun times! LOL
 
A few months ago a repairman backed into my car, crunching my back bumper. His company already paid us for the damage, but the repair shop we'd been working with has been dragging its feet on getting the bumper. Always one story or another.

Meantime the truck we use to haul our RV got broken into and got repaired about a week ago by the shop our insurance company has always used. They do great work, but are always so busy.

DH asked them if they could repair the bumper for us. Yup. They got the bumper in within a few days, but made the appointment for a week later. It's now a week later so they'll do the repairs today. Lesson learned: they're busy for good reason.

Other than dropping off and picking up the car, I have a few business things to attend to.

Everybody who works with his or her hands for a living seems to be extremely busy these days. We've been trying to get someone to fix a problem with our front door for about two months.
 
The thumb stays...whoopee. Cancer gone.

Surgeon is over the moon with the skin graft. Never had success like it for this particularly bad case.
He said we made history.!

Ten stitches in arm will come out March 1 but oh what a relief to get all the heavy bandaging off.
Nurse will come every two days to dress thumb and Dr will check then and take pictures for records.

Um. Does Andy need a bigger bed? Just a tad bigger? Just a skosh?

Y'all are gonna think I'm nuts, but for a long, long time we all sort of participated virtually in the "progress" of the preparation and sale of @debodun's house and the move to her new one. I feel kind of all at sea now that it's all done:(...sort of like the letdown after the activity of the Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year's holidays.

fanflippin' tastic... (y):D
 
Well I've had a really boring day tbh... the day has dragged.. I really need to have much more to do than I currently do..

After the usual chores.. I had 4 parcels delivered , 2 of which weren't due until tomorrow, but hey that's got those out of the way and save me staying in for them tomorrow . One was some potting soil for the indoor plants, another was a really pretty pink marble shallow bowl (vase).. on a gold stand for my dressing table.., and after about 10 years I've donated all the floral white china faberge egg style ornaments from my dresser in exchange for the new one... . The 3rd was a floral print summer dress with long sleeves.. which are so difficult to get here ( the long sleeves)..and it was massively reduced in the sale online from a high street store.. so now that's been put away for spring .. and the fourth was a new Plant pot because I'm going to split my big jade plant into 2, and repot them in 2 new smaller pots.. , which I'll do tomorrow ..

I've bagged up some of my coats, including North face jackets, to donate. . they are all in excellent condition but I've had them a long time, and I don't wear them, so better that someone else gets good use out of them.

I've taken pics of an office desk to sell online.. it's almost brand new less than a year old, so I will sell rather than give it away..

It's almost 10.30pm..I'm just going to load the car boot up with the donations bags, and 3 picture frames that I need to return to the store in the next day or 2.. otherwise if I don't load them in the car I'll leave the house without them..

Does anyone else do that ?.. or is only me ?.. I can't tell you how many times I've bagged stuff up for the charity shop, and got to town only to discover they're not in the car..so this is why I'm learning to load them into the car the day before ..:D

ETA...oh yes and I cooked rump steak for dinner, and watched my fave weekly tv show while eating it off a tray in front of the TV

@hollydolly .. That's a boring day? Sounds like you got a fair bit done! All I did today was, answer emails and read while dusting a bit and doing laundry. I feel like a lazy-bones :oops:

I forgot all about jade plants. :geek:
I used to have them, years ago, and loved them. Had an old one, that got fairly large, in its indoor pot.
I once saw a large jade tree, growing outdoors, at the Botanical Garden in Washington D.C.
Wow, I was shocked to learn they grew that way :oops:
It was taller than a human and fully branched out, as well!🤩
