This is beautiful.... do they have bed and breakfast or stuff like that where you are...or can I rent a room in a castle? I am a princess after all... lil and I are princesses rather...

We will need princess like accommodations

Absolutely!

 

[Lilianna23]

And I feel like daily Cadbury treats.... real English teas with the accouterments will be important to me

There is a hotel on Victoria Island called the Empress Hotel. They are famous for their high tea! It's in BC, Canada but an easy ferry ride from the peninsula. Or, one can take a longer ferry through the San Juan Islands. It's a very picturesque ride!

I saw a scooter on IG today that folds up as small as a carryon!

 

[Lilianna23]

I feel attacked.

These things I wear actually DO have selective hearing. If there is no noise, they will search for any noise and focus on it. If there's lots of ambient noise, they turn off everything but which direction I'm facing and hone in on recognized speech ...so if you're at a table at a loud restaurant I can hear just you

My husband had hearing aids like that. They were programmable to the situation.

He was profoundly hearing-impaired due to a congenital condition. He had worn hearing aids since he was about 3.

 

[Lilianna23]

I might.

Dare to be different!!!

As long as Mrs. W doesn't mind, you can push my wheelbarrow!

 

[Lilianna23]

So much truth here

Mine has 4 valves and 5 sprayers! It's like a car wash!

I was in the dr office last week. A Stones song was playing and I was thinking how far we've come! No way any Stones songs would have been played in the dr office when they came out!

Evening (for me), everyone. Been busy. Back across the state and finally getting into the field on real jobs. Ran into a nasty one today. Made for great training so it was good on my end. Felt a bit bad for the locator who was assigned the ticket as we ate about an hour of their time. They rolled with it though so that was good. Hands-on is so much better than classroom, imo.

Haven't had time to keep up with everything here. Sending best thoughts to everyone.

I'm glad you're having some great real-life learning situations, K! Stay safe out there!

 

[Lilianna23]

The rocket powered walkers would be awesome. Especially if you could convert your walker into a chair.

Like a transformer walker?

 

[Lilianna23]

@Liliana23 are you a one woman thread right now?

Seems like it! This is my catchup time!

 

[Lilianna23]

Not anymore! Hey Liliana!

Hey, girl! Glad you joined me! Want to start a band?

 

[Lilianna23]

BEV mowers are the best!

Is that a brand?

 

[Lilianna23]

It about 0130 on a rainy Tuesday morning in the PNW! I didn't get my lawn mower yesterday. I'll saddle up the truck today and go get one.

I better take myself to bed! I promised my friend I would try to be in bed by 0200. I'm going to muss B2 and the feather massage torture, tho!

Have a wonderful day, everyone! ️

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Be careful B2! We can't have you and your precious cargo slipping and sliding!

Thanks. The snow came about 3 pm well after taxi duty. It was in midst of the baseball game where my Tigers beat the Yankees. It was funny to see snowflakes during a baseball game!

Good morning early risers and afternoon to our folks over the “big water”.

It’s bitter cold in the 20s with a wicked wind. The day’s plan is to walk the mall then head to a coffee house. I will check in on my GF about the little viral incubators.

Getting old is a pain, literally! I’m going for an MRI in a few months about my hip pain. The last MRI detected something suspicious of about 1 cm on the hip ball. I have a feeling a hip replacement is in my future.

Enjoy... speaking of, I finished the Russian Sniper book the other day. Highly recommend to those interested in snipers, military, WW2, etc. Was an interesting perspective IMO.

At your mention of it earlier, there is a copy of it sitting in my book queue.


Reading Edward Abbey ATM . . . .

Good thing I’ve been stockpiling ammo for ages. Esp the Russian stuff, but Serbian, Croatian, Romanian, Bosnian, old school corrosive Russian and Yugoslavian. Prolly other types.

But you know me - I like them commie weapons.

So do I.


It's a bad habits we brought back from the 'Nam . . . .

Just had to hand in ammo I found while clearing through someone’s loft after he died. 9mm paraellum and .303. Caught with that and it’s a long spell in the slammer and all my guns gone!

At the show the other night, it was funny to see all these giant middle aged skinheads and punks wearing ear protection!

I did not, it was not all that loud and the sound was excellent. But either way, years of that abuse will fuck your ears…

Forty years ago, we drank in this little hole-in-the-wall bar that had one of those read blinky-crawly message board thingies high on the wall. One of the repeat messages was, "if the music is too loud, you're too old."


There were nights where I was too old.

You have been in for this evening. Who was it that ended his TV show singing a song that went " Thanks for the memories"?

As opposed to Tanks for the Mammaries???

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I'm getting a battery operated mower. I don't want to deal with gas & oil or have to use a pull start. I can never get those going.

It takes the correct combination of witchcraft and vulgar invective.

I received good news today!!! The IRS has released my refund!!!

Hot damn!!!


'Bout fuckin' time . . . .
