    We've joined the club. Canceling final vacations of the year...

    It's depressing to think about all the vacations being cancelled. We've not been able to make our normal plans for a nice winter beach vacation (to escape cold and snowy Minnesota for a few weeks) and at the rate things are going, we may not be able to go. Which is just sad. But, I'm not...

    How often do you REALLY wash your masks?

    I'm like OP. I rarely, as in once every couple of weeks, have reason to wear my mask because that's how often I go somewhere where I need to wear one. I go out for walks (no mask required as I steer well clear of other people), and into my yard or onto my boat. Still, I tend to wash them as I...

    Need to vent!

    With WAY WAY more people dead of Covid than the flu. Thanks for making the point so well that Covid is far deadlier, which is precisely why we are taking the steps we are taking. :-) It's not 'fear mongering' to point out the obvious.

    Where is the worst place you have ever slept?

    I was gonna say a hotel in Trinidad, CA (the far north coast) except I didn't "sleep" there. I was there. I laid in a bed. But, there was no sleeping possible. Dirty. Disgusting. Most uncomfortable beds ever. It was a "cabin" and cute from the outside. The bed was a double (and DH and I...

    Remember the lady who tried to shame the barista at Starbucks for not serving her because she had no mask?

    And, I loved that one of her "notes" justifying her claim was one showing that in 2015 she had an ovarian cyst. It's well known (NOT) that ovarian cysts interfere with breathing. The entitlement mentality in this country is literally killing people.

    Root canal or not?

    I've had quite a few root canals. They've all worked, but are not "permanent." My oldest ones are beginning to fail (we're talking 30 years or so though, so honestly, it's ok). So, now I've got two implants. :-) Get the root canal. In the hands of a competent professional (an...

    Coronavirus will become insignificant in a month

    Those pesky dead bodies are harder to hide. Although we won't know why they died. Had some sort of cough, and a fever, and then died. But, not covid. No data for that.

    Coronavirus will become insignificant in a month

    I need to double check who posts something before I even click on it.

    What do you like doing on vacation?

    It seems my husband and I have fallen into two types of vacations. One is the beach kind, where we swim a little, snorkel a little, enjoy eating out, etc. The other is the active vacation, where we hike or walk (seeing the sights) like crazy fools. I enjoy both types for different reasons...

    "Spilling tea" is a thing now?

    My daughter (now 20) has been using it for years. That's how I know it. But as in "spill the T" not "spill the tea." T is short for truth, I believe, as a PP indicated.

    Blurry and grainy pics from an Iphone XR- why?

    No, that's the SE. And, the camera isn't "lousy." It's actually pretty decent. :-)

    Official Dancing With the Stars - Fall 2020

    The whole show has jumped the shark. I barely watch anymore. Sometimes, I'll look on youtube the next day for dances that sound interesting based on reviews here, but otherwise, not worth the effort to watch all the babbling. Tom was great. :-)

    What is the oldest item of clothing you still wear?

    Many t-shirts which are 30+ years old....from my road racing days mainly, although with a few concert tshirts in the mix. Since I lost 40+ pounds, and am down to a weight I last was decades ago they actually fit again. My "prize" possession is an ORIGINAL t-shirt from the Born in the USA...

    What is the shortest job you have ever had?

    I worked as a cocktail waitress in the late 70's for one evening (maybe 4-5 hours). It was god-awful. Grabby men. Rude (and drunk) people. Cigarette smoke everywhere. A customer stole my tip from one table I'd worked all night (just took it as he walked by...nice). Suffice to say, I never...

    First POST-COVID long-term Care Center opens. Median age: 36-38

    The people who don't take this seriously disgust me. Their lack of compassion for fellow travelers on this earth is very dismaying. Won't wear masks. Won't socially distance. Dismiss this plague as "just the flu." Despicable human beings and history will record them as such. That's my ONLY...

    this is such a sad sick world

    No one is trying to "change or cancel" history. They are taking down statues which GLORIFY that history. Big difference. I've said this elsewhere. You can traverse the ENTIRETY of Germany and not find a single statue of a Nazi or Hitler. You WILL find solemn monuments to those who were...

    Hamilton on Disney Plus this Friday....who's excited!!??

    I still remember hearing that song for the first time...my daughter was playing the sound track on a road trip she and I took, and it made me sob. And, that wasn't even seeing it. Just listening. It still affects me powerfully.

    It's been like the Polar Vortex here in Chicago....

    Typically, I'm a person who only runs my AC a few days a summer....got be be over 90 with high humidity for me to "give in" to air conditioning. Well we are on day number 8 or 9 where we haven't been able to turn the damn thing off. Even above 70 (with high humidity) first thing in the...
