Well, you've read the notes, the notes were filled with both stupid and stuff, and now it is time for you to post until the stupid, stuffed cows come home.

And the word of the day is: ADAMANTINE!

Well, this is weird. I checked out the first two e-books of the "Planetfall" series from OverDrive. There are four books in the series, but books three and four are only available through OverDrive in the audio format! There are downloadable e-books at Amazon, but OverDrive doesn't carry them! What's that all about??

But the weird part is that even though I checked out the first two books from the library, I got an e-mail from Amazon (out of the blue) saying that I have an automatic $5 credit for the specific purchase of the first book, "Planetfall." I already downloaded that! I'd rather have the credit to purchase book #3, since it's not available from the library. Thanks for the offer, though.

Good morning, all!

I slept quite well for the most part. The injections are working their magic, so I'm quite pleased.

I'm still quite pissed over the Facebook block. As if 30 days will do anything, and the Facebook police are a joke. They banned me for seven days for calling a southern biker dog killer a cracker, and when I got back on Facebook, I posted these Amazon book covers

I did the same when they banned me for seven days for calling Sarah Huckabee Sanders "white trash." In my defense I told them my family background was poor white trash, and posted these book covers when my block was over:

Now they never banned me for these posts. And this, boys and girls, is why I think the Facebook police are white trash cracker asses.

I have no plans today, but now that I'm feeling more limber, I may drag out the Big Ladder and put things away.

I have pulled a couple of major gaffes in my food ordering but I recall none of them now. As for Sissy Spacek:
Carrie
Crimes of the Heart
Coal Miner's Daughter
The Grass Harp

Kitty cleanup finished. I forget to mention Vanessa, DR John G. What a dreadful opera with an inane gothic plot. I saw the last City Opera production and could not wait to get out of the theatre. I have this memory, but I could be wrong, that there was a scene later cut where Vanessa goes ice skating and she has this aria about it. I do remember an Opera News interview with Mary Costa when she sang the role at the Met in the 1960s. She said she had received a letter saying "I understand you're going to play that dreadful lady with the skates.

Little Thatch has a bad habit of reaching up and grabbing my left thigh when he wants attention, food, or loving. My thigh is nothing but scars.

A couple of my botched meal experiences were a case of my ordering something new to me that somehow sounded good on paper, and were anything but.

I know I’ve simply made mistakes in ordering, too, but I can’t think of an example right now.

I was given “White Trash Cooking” many years ago, as kind of a joke gift but the person also thought I’d have a serious interest in it. And I did. Incredibly, I haven’t for years remembered WHO gave it to me, though as I think about it now I have a couple of ideas. But I loved reading through it and should do so again.

I need to pick up some Russian dressing. I think when I shop next, I’ll get that AND some Thousand Island, because I want to properly compare the two on a couple of things. I love Ken’s Steak House for the Thousand, so I’ll stick with that brand on the Russian.

We’re going through much sadness here as regards Poe, our beloved eighteen-year-old black kitty. He’s been coping with kidney disease for two years. He’s had other issues, too, but this week we’re seeing the kidney thing take its toll to a greater extent. As it always does. We’ve been on this journey twice before, so we know we’re approaching the end stages. Sadly, experience doesn’t make it get any easier.

I am so hoping the Fat Orange Slug's current Covid-19 approach is the end of his presidency.

My coworker Rosenda died this morning. I’m just relieved to know she’s not in pain. Made sure my team knew. They aren’t making an announcement though until 10 am. So outside of my folks, I don’t know who knows or not.

In other news, my brother never called me about my uncle, so I am assuming all went well and that he is home....we shall see if news is dispensed some time today.
