It's not even 2100 here in central Texas as I wrap up another day here! So this is what it's like to interact with (most) everyone in real time! Who knew???

Tomorrow is thirsty Thursday! Have a good one, all! ️

Sounds like royal houses from Game of Thrones.

Our own K is an amazing lady! ️

Special K (this may well not translate transatlantically if this brand isn't available over the pond. If it doesn't, just walk on by)

Noooooo to, soggy biscuits…. Ginger nuts are the best as they withstand the dunk

I hate that game!

 

[Greylag]

I have zero complaints about mine. My only issue right now is watching them age, it's too hard to watch.

I agree.... my mum is now nearly blind and can just about get around. the deterioration over the last 12 months wrenches at your heart!

 

[Greylag]

Think about what our parents did and had to go thru. Great Depression, the blitz, ww2, Korea, Vietnam wars.

The 1970s…

Love em while ya got em. (Even when they are a pain…)

I agree, My mum was a 5/6 year old hiding under the stairs while the Luftwaffe blitzed Liverpool wondering if the next bomb was for her... no wonder she doesnt do fireworks!

Seasoned, darling! Not old!

Spicy with a touch of . . . sinew . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Wize Wat Wordz!

As a dear friend says, I'm known to get a little wood on the ball from time to time.


Paying Attention helps.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

This is really a fun and great group.

Sorta like a crew you might find at a coffee place or at a local pub.

There’s banter, kvetching, good ol fashioned joking and some of the more “here’s what happened today” and “here’s how my day went.”

Pull up a chair and join in .

Saturday is our anniversary. We should do something . . . silly.

Happy Spring Equinox

 

[Wat_Tyler]

It is hard..... soo hard....I have had to grieve for things I wish were while they were still alive... and realize that things are what they are..... .

That last bit is when we finally finish growing up, methinks. Dr. Tyler is Googling all of her old college boyfriends and wasting a bunch of time engaging in I Wonder Ifs. Maybe it's part of beginning to circle the drain. I know that we examine our lives in the rear view mirror, but it's the Fantasyland aspect that strikes me as a whole big bunch of hypothetical bullshit. Then again, she hasn't taken up drive-by shootings, so there's that.

We occasionally get a tornado in Jersey, but I couldn’t imagine what people go thru on the Midwest and southern states that are tornado prone

We got that Surprise Earthquake 14 years ago. That was something else.

Das right . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

You're a magnet! ️

It's the comments that they make to my co-workers that circle back to me that are amusing.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Yep... it is all about acceptance and my reaction to things out of my control..

My life would have been a lot different if I would have figured this shot out earlier....but alas hindsight is 20/20

Mine as well, but we can be thankful that we have found a Gooder Path.


More betterer even.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I haven't even had a first?!?!

Think of all the delightful chaos that you missed.


And I use the word "delightful" loosely.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Lately I have been waking at 2 am. Usually I can get back to sleep an hour later. My old dog wakes me up at 4 .

Now I am catching up.

Parents and parenting- I learned how to be a patient parent from dad, a fighter in defense of children from mom, not to be dramatic from drama mom, not to hold a grudge from a mother who held them for way too long.

Parenting continues even when they are adults. I worry and hold my tongue unless I see something that is self destructive. Watching their mistakes hurts but realize I had to make mistakes to learn too.

Have a good day friends!

That should be wats newsletter.

W3

That would require disciplined writing output on a predictable basis.


We also know that that's kinda like work.

He is getting spayed...the vet said his ear may pop up after that.... I was like from what the shock or is there a pull string you need to pull when you are in there...

The vet didn't laugh

The vet is less than . . . .
