So sorry for your experience, DR vixmom. Glad you are OK.

Annabelle visited the bookshelf, and all she got was this lousy t-shirt.

Off to brave Costco.

On a Saturday? You are brave indeed, DR John G.

No other time this week. To get my 10 days a month in the office, I had to go in four times this week.

I'm up, I'm up - not quite six hours of sleep.

The line for gasoline is super long.

However: 62%!

Nice.

I survived Costco. Barely.

People are crazy.

And all of the food samples, except for a slice of nectarine, tasted bad.

Wow...what an adventure, Vixmom!

Hopefully, you never have to experience that again!!

I'm now off to Fred Meyer, then to a barbecue at a co-worker's!

Less to waste when it tastes like something you want, to borrow a phrase from Bk, to vomit on the ground.

I've started an Icelandic epic, Independent People, by Halldor Laxness. He won the Nobel Prize for literature largely because of the two novels collected here. It's hilarious, a scathing satire of the type of mentality espoused by folks in the Tea Party. The main character is a jackass who believes that being independent means not relying on anything or anyone else, and he'll be dipped in sheep dip before he lets that happen.

Example: He won't let his pregnant wife seek help while he goes out to look after his sheep. She dies in childbirth. But he can't bring himself to ask anyone to help with the newborn child. And his neighbors are of like mind.

I finished Sanditon Season 2 this afternoon. Sometimes I'm so thick: it wasn't until episode 4 that I realized Charlotte and Alison were Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. I liked Miss Lambe much more this season than the last, and I enjoyed the Pride & Prejudice references. For a while I thought Esther Babbington was going to answer my question about where the madwoman in the attic was.

John G. · « **Reply #81 on:** June 25, 2022, 01:23:29 PM »

I think I enjoyed Sanditon 2 more than season 1. Has it been announced whether there will be a season 3?

John G. · « **Reply #82 on:** June 25, 2022, 01:24:08 PM »

Google says yes to season 3.

Hello, everyone.

Good news on the Indiegogo! Vibes for continued success!

Vixmom, I'm sorry to hear about the collision and hope that you are able to file a claim quickly and easily and that the bus company gives you fair compensation.

I am glad to hear you are OK, but caution you that it sometimes takes a few days for the aches to show up. I'd like to see you visit your chiropractor, but understand that you must pay out of pocket for that. If I could send you one of my no-copay chiro benefits I would!

I received a call a few minutes ago from a political organization I support. They asked for a $100 donation. Perhaps I am out of touch with the amounts people give these days, but to me that is a sizable donation. I can't do it. I am spreading what I can give over several organizations, and even then it just doesn't go very far. One homeless charity I know now asks for $150. They used to ask for $20. I don't question the need, as I know it's great, but how many people these days can give $100 or more?

I got today's Wordle in four tries, but was again unsuccessful in making a decent glass of carrot juice using the NutriBullet. It always turns out gritty. Any NutriBullet fans here? I have a juicer, but there's a lot of clean-up and the NutriBullet would be handier. It's fine for my morning smoothie, but the carrots really challenge it.

Jeanne · « **Reply #88 on:** June 25, 2022, 01:50:23 PM »

Off to attempt some cleaning.

TTFN.

Completely agree on seeing someone to make sure you're totally OK.
