Are you having a second wave locally? Our local numbers have been pretty good but have been ticking up this past week, wondering if we're going to get the second wave that other places have gotten. 

Thanks for sharing. The thing I can't help but wonder is how long she stewed on it before she told us. Four hours? Four years? I would be crushed if I knew she wanted to tell us since she was fifteen or something like that. It would just be sad if she felt like she had to live with her secret.

My condolences to you on your friend’s passing. I hope your Aunt only has to deal with mild symptoms especially with her heart condition. It’s nerve wracking when Covid hits so close to home. 

Good evening, everyone. I’m here tonight looking for advice. I’ll start with the text that my wife and I got from our daughter last Sunday. Fwiw, she’s in her first year of college and she’s about five hours away from us.

A-welp. A week after I lost one of my oldest friends to Covid, one of my aunts gets it.

The movers came and took most of my stuff Thursday. It’s going into storage for a few weeks. I’ve been beating the hell out of myself and cleaning. (Wiping out on a wet floor, crushing my fingers, burning myself with hot soup, and I sat on the floor carefully peeling up double sided carpet tape for two hours today and…

Please enjoy this fabulous takedown of Facebook in the New Yorker.

Still recovering from this wretched spider bite on my ankle. Gratefully I’m back to walking daily again. It’s one of the few things I truly do for my self and I really was missing it. For my health in many ways. Anyways, what’s your Halloween plans ? We decided not to go to our usual Halloween Kids party. Instead…

I want to see the perp walk so badly.  I can’t wait.

There is just something so very wrong with our system in that the best way to get way with crimes is to hold the highest office in the country. And the thing is, it’s not even a law that a president can’t be prosecuted, just a “policy.” Why is no one willing to break the policy?

Using his logic, if he just didn’t say anything racist, we wouldn’t have any evidence he was racist.

Whuddup jezzies. In an unbelievably stressful week (home life, work life, the sustained hellscape of our politics) I had one HUGE bright spot. A few weeks back, I posted about possibly finding the sister that my mom had given up for adoption 8 years before I was born. I found her on ancestry.com.

Thank you! She only fusses when she’s hungry; otherwise, no crying. I told my daughter that she’s so good now, just wait until she’s a teenager. ;)
And I’m sure that new teacher will remember your kindness for the rest of his/her career. 

There’s an Amish general store that lies about halfway between my parents’ house and my new home. I had always heard good things about the homemade fudge and ice cream and the bins of loose grains, but it wasn’t until I went in for the first time a few months ago that I realize they had two whole sections devoted to…

Short on time this week, but gotta give my weekly shout out to you and all the kittehs.

Well, I have settled in to my temporary new home. I will be staying in this extended stay hotel for the next 70 days while I adjust to living here and working at my new job at University Hospitals in a suburb of Cleveland.

Oh, LORD, it’s been a minute! It’s time for a feel-good thread! I’d love for you to share the good things you’ve done and/or your achievements in the past few months (gulp!) so we can brag on you and celebrate you. I’ve missed all of your stories and accomplishments!

Actually, it’s always kind of annoyed me that I can’t order off the kids menu. If I want a damn grilled cheese and tater tots, I should be able to order that, not locked out by age.

We order off the kids menu for our son mainly for portion size. If he’s only going to take a few bites, might as well not spend $15 on a whole meal.
