The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

I saw one fatality in Washington state from a downed tree.
We have so many trees here! When the ground gets saturated, the wind through tree branches turns them into a sail. Trees are easily toppled. There are deaths every year from falling trees. It's really important for people to monitor the health of trees in their yards.

We had a next door neighbor who would randomly plant living Christmas trees in his yard. If he had planted them near the greenbelt, it would have been safer but he didn't do that. Some of them became diseased and were a threat to our property. So, my husband paid for a tree surgeon to take down the dangerous trees since the neighbor either couldn't or wouldn't.
 
Good morning everyone.

Day 3 of this crap. The people leading this conference aren’t open to new ideas, even though all I keep hearing is “be an element for change”. It’s death by PowerPoint. The ironic part is they are streaming this and I could be back home getting the same result while still being able to get work done. At least I take my thermos of coffee with me to keep me awake.

Y’all have a great day.
I hated that! In my last job before I retired, I worked for a large multi-hospital/clinic organization. I often had 0700 meetings at the large hospital we called "the mother ship." Since we could call in to these meetings, I would stay home and do just that. People at my hospital thought I was in the other city. People at the meeting thought I was at my desk. I would get ready for work after I answered roll call then leisurely make my way into my office after the meeting. Reading the minutes kept me up to date and only took 5 minutes. 🙄🤣
 
Welcome to the café.

We do things a bit differently here than most of the rest of Lit. But here’s how we roll.

1. If ya wanna talk about your jacking off habits there are probably other threads that are better fits for you.
2. We’re not too sexual here. Think of it as a bunch of old folks at a bar or at a coffee joint. We also don’t hit on the women here. There’s about 673832 other threads for that.
3. No politics, religion or drama.

Everyone is welcome but we are protective of the vibe we have here. This applies to all who visit this thread.

If this feels like a good match, welcome... if not you may have better luck on another thread.
673832! 🤣🤣🤣
 
Well today was interesting…it started on the Merse hoping for geese. It was a clear sky and the temperature was now 19f with a heavy Haw Frost. As the sun rose the whole world just sparkled. The geese didn’t show but I had a photoshoot with a pal for some product placement with Sam. Got some great shots of him retrieving for the Christmas product range. He also did a few posed for me.

After that it was a quick warm up, shower and out with the management for lunch. Finally a trip to the dentist which will ultimately make my wallet hurt more than my mouth.

Now sitting in front of a roaring stove with a pisssy tea having borrowed some electric heaters for a couple of rooms. Heaven knows when parts for the boiler (furnace) will arrive.

We are managing and tomorrow should see the cold starting to abate.
That sounds cold, G! Please post some pictures of our gorgeous boy, Sam, for K and me! 😍🥰😍
 
I’m love/hate w retirement.

I would love nothing more than to have my days to myself,. But I also like the structure and routine that my work life gives me.
I delayed retirement for a number of years after our financial advisor told us we could retire any time. I had the same fear of what would I do with myself. Well, I'm here to tell you retirement is great! Some days I wonder how I had time to work. You're always so busy, W! You'll do just fine when you get there! 🥰🥰
 
Had a busy day, including getting my mom enrolled in a new Medicare program. Been weighing on me for weeks, but it wasn’t too hard.

A new, really shitty project at work.

Fell asleep on the couch and catching the second half of the football game. Nice snow bowl!! Love football in the heavy rain and snow.

We seem to have this unwritten rule at work where people don’t put meetings on your calendar on Fridays. I don’t think people are fucking around, I find it good because it’s the only day that I can really get shit done. Most of my days are spent in meetings.

Happy rest of Thursday nite, people.
Have a good Friday, W! 😘🥰🤗
