Temperature-wise, not the 1990’s

Peggy is now singing Losing My Mind.  It's very nice save for the Bacharach-like arrangement - and even that is weirdly fun.  I love the song Where Did They Go, too.  The purists hate these later Capitol albums and let me tell you what I think of the purists.

I'd never heard that version.  I just found it HERE and I like it. :) I remember years ago hearing a cover version that was (to me) like an uptempo 1920s style.  I wish I could remember who recorded that.

Just saw that Nancy Sinatra (Frank's wife) is dead at the age of 101.

Oh, my!  I didn't realize that she was still alive, but making it to 101 is amazing!

Today, I went to my sister's and helped her move a couple of couches (fortunately, they weren't big couches) from her garage into her house.  One went upstairs into her daughter's TV room, and the other eventually went into her living room.

The one that eventually went into her living room had a broken wooden support in the middle of the underside, so Larry (my sister's boyfriend) and I kind of fixed it.  I think if people sit down gently, it'll be fine.

I posted this on FB late last night, and the comments are still coming in.

The world is in BIG trouble.

My wife went to the grocery store today; paid with her ATM card.

She's writing the transaction into her check register, and the clerk at the register, a guy in his early 20s, asks her what that was.

He'd never seen a check register before.

Where do these people come from?


Some people...just don't teach their kids!

I think the worst thing is that young people can’t tell time unless they look at a digital clock or watch.

I will gladly take some good vibes that we like our new next door neighbor/s.  I have no idea who purchased it.  Plus fingers crossed if they do any remodeling it won't last any length of time.  There are horror stories of year long remodels.  While there are time restrictions to when the loud work can be done it is still unpleasant to hear it during the day.

~~~Nice New Neighbors Vibes for Jane!!~~~

Magnificat Rescue posted this news about Mego last night: 
We did it!

Mego got discharged from VERG Brooklyn this afternoon and is now on his way to his new foster home, where he will get the finest care and tons of affection. He is being very good in his carrier in the car.
He was so funny when the fosters were getting detailed instructions about his care and how to feed him through the tube. He would not stop exploring - he must have been stir crazy after being in the ICU so long - and his attitude was that of a cat who could take care of himself, thank you very much. And then he got into his carrier by himself and announced, "C'mon, people, let's go, let's go, LET'S GO!"
Mego is too excited about leaving the ICU to express his gratitude. But all of us at Magnificat would like to thank everybody who has contributed to this wonderful outcome:

Dr. DiFazio, Dr. Brida and all the ICU staff at VERG Brooklyn for the care they provided Mego;
Mego's many supporters, for your generous donations and your continued encouragement - we truly believe that your prayers and good thoughts helped him get through this harrowing, life-threatening infection;
and Kathleen and Mike, who drove all the way to Brooklyn to get Mego and who will foster him until he is completely well. He could not be in better hands.

THANK YOU!!!!!!


That's wonderful!! :D

Our server was very attentive and kept the free refills coming and the good was perfect and fast so we ended up giving him a $10 tip

Apparently the new girl went over and saw the singles on the table and said" oh no what did I do wrong? I tried so hard", then when she actually picked up the money she realized there was a shirt there and ran around shoeing all the other servers she was so excited
