I get it. It takes a bit of getting used to, the patience thing. The thing is to recognize one's own limitations. Providence has none - I have plenty. I am not Providence.


New job looks like it's going to go fine. There is one trick: just make the damned phone call today and not tomorrow.

Is am glad your first day went well..... it will get you to your goal

I am glad that I qm trying new things.... some are better than others. I will get there....

I was never a cat person but when little Miss wanted some, I adopted two and they are a trip. I wish we would have gotten to know their personalities before we named them

Why did it take me this long to find this thread? Rhetorical question

Because you just turned 50 today?

Welcome to the cafe! We are glad you could join us. It’s a fun thread, think a bunch of people coming together each day at a good local dive, or a good coffee joint.

Post #1 introduces the joint... and glancing back over the last 10-20 pages provides additional context.

We just talk about her every day lives, trials, and tribulations. Sometimes we bust each other’s chops….Sometimes we do a group virtual hug. There’s a pretty good amount of discussion around food, coffee, and the occasional libation.

We just don’t discuss any politics. We keep religion out of here. We don’t put up with any drama. And most importantly, we don’t hit on any people here. It’s a hangout thread on a sex site, but the thread is not a sexual one.

Everyone is welcome - we don’t want to be cliquey - but we are protective of the vibe we've built over the years.

We hope it’s a good match. But if it doesn’t, there are tens of thousands of other good threads on the lit...

So I got my left leg done up due to varicose veins. The procedure itself wasn’t too bad and it was pretty quick - maybe a half hour. I was able to drive myself and everything. Only problem is that they numbed the back of my leg and it hurts a little bit.

Before and after that, work. It was very Monday like.

This weekend, we are traveling to Punxsutawney to see the filthy little rodent and if that prick sees his shadow… 6 more weeks of winter. We are going with another couple - he was one of my good friends from when I was in the reserves.

I am sure this will ruin the movie Groundhog Day for me. But should be fun!

 

[Wonderer67]

I have a bit of a dilemma. I'm a Eagles fan and a Kansas City Chief's fan.
Who do I cheer for?

I think it’s ok to vote for both. I don’t hate the chiefs. I’m just tired of them.

And I know you’re a Philly boy!

I just hope it’s a good game.

 

[Wonderer67]

My daily catch up on hold tfn
Lost power @ 15 min ago
Texts from power co say cause unknown & estimated restore @ 2 hrs
Looks like I'm getting a mid-morning nap
Lemonade not lemons, right?

I’m hoping about five messages. I will see that your power was restored…

 

[Wonderer67]

The answer to your dilema is quite simple. Every time during this particular game you feel like rooting for the Eagles - don't.

I love both teams too and my hometown affiliation with KC dictates my allegiance but I suspect Philly will be on top this year. No matter which side, a good play is a good play and worthy of applause.

Qky! What’s going on, bud? Haven’t seen you here in a while!

Hope all is well.

Wife is running a 101.5 fever right now... She spent the whole night coughing at me, so pretty sure this isn't going to be fun...

Oh no!!! Fingers are crossed that you don’t get sick!

 

[dkak001]

Wife is still running that fever, even with Tylenol. Apparently influenza A is running around here right now. I'd bet $100 that's what she has. Really hoping I avoid it. We got all our shots this fall, so hopefully she doesn't get as sick as she could have. Doing a little work on the computer, and a little checking in here.

With the missus being sick I'm really tempted to sleep in the spare bedroom tonight. I've only ever slept in the one room since we moved in here, we've only slept in different beds when one was traveling for work. Never in the same house! But, not sure I want to expose myself to this bug any more than I need to. Decisions, decisions...

 

[Wonderer67]

"I want Al to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for Al to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.”

So I used AI today to compose an email to a senior person or company. I just put in “ write an email to a senior person asking for their product information so we can share it across their organization.”

It’s spat out some corporate sounding bullshit. I made a couple of changes, and it took me seven or eight minutes instead of 45 to 60 minutes that I probably would’ve spent trying to compose the perfect email.

The kicker was, my boss sent me a message late today saying what a killer message that was!

 

[Wonderer67]

Wonder if they use weighted balls during the Windy Season??

You said “weighted balls…” heh heh

Can she take ibuprofen. If she can alternate with Tylenol so she is taking one or the other every 3 hrs.

It will help keep the fever down... as much water as she can tolerate

My parents took in the girl thqt caregives for my disabled sister and hr daughter...the daughter has flu a.... they got their flu shots and are isolating but shit shit shit

Greetings...
one last catch up before I scoot out early tonight

Omg I am turning into a cat lady and I dont even have any

Welcome to the club!! Kitties!!

I wish we would have gotten to know their personalities before we named them

Please spill the Kitty Tea
What are their names?
What are their personalities?
What are their alternate names had you waited before holding Naming Day?

I am sure this will ruin the movie Groundhog Day for me. But should be fun!

Flip the script - this is immersive background to enhance your next viewing.
Then again, you may be right. After all those Hollywood Dollars rolling in they're not likely to have any unfilled potholes left. Really, what's the point without being able to personally recreate that bit?

I’m hoping about five messages. I will see that your power was restored…

Power was restored... took them 3 hours, not 2. Wonked out my whole work day. Thankfully it was all over by the time the Handyman showed. And... no surges. Of course I shut off or unplugged most items when the first text came from the power company.

Hugs to you both!! I hope the isolation keeps the healthy, healthy and those stricken only get a mild case.

And with that, it's an hour earlier than my usual but I feel the need for a hot shower once I finish my soup.
Sweet Dreams to all... and I will say the rest with my internal voice... because the Universe is always listening. (Saying the silent part out loud hasn't been helpful either )

She can. She hasn't started that in rotation yet. She is pushing fluid. She ate a little then went back to bed, and is sleeping now.

 

[Mittering]

Just finished playing games with the little one. She can flat make it not fun, she is so competitive. I learned a while back not to play games all the way up until bed time. It never ends well.

For all those that are sick or around the sick, stay warm, stay hydrated and stay away from me.

'Till tomorrow.
