For whatever convenient reason I have managed to forget, until this week, how many "things" are coming due in the next couple of months.

To wit, two vehicle registrations, homeowners insurance and property tax. Capping it, of course, will be annual income tax.

All my kvetching has brought us to page two.

My work is done for now.

Thanks to all who commiserated with one of my posts yesterday.

On reflection, I have to say my friend probably is feeling sad and was reaching out to seek some positivity.

He talks a good game of loving his life, his partner and retirement, but I think the truth may be something far different.

He may be trying to convince himself that everything is good.

I laid awake for a while watching hurricane coverage last night, then had an okay but on-and-off sleep. This morning I'm having a recurrence of my nose running and sneezing. What a season.

Sometimes, after talking something out, you can see things more clearly.

Thanks for kind thoughts on my neighbor.

DR Ron, you can feel for the guy and also not want to be in the cone of his self-absorption. How different you would feel if he asked even a few questions about you and your life!

Good morning, all.

Today’s word really is sublime.

I had a weird night of sleep and dreamt of being back in the USAA campus, only without a badge. I remember my former supervisor calling security on me. But since I was invited, it wasn’t a problem.

John G. · « **Reply #41 on:** October 10, 2024, 06:34:53 AM »

Very nice attitude, Ron.

Any word on the Vixter? Saw a photo of destruction near Orlando.

I think we should have show an HHW badge when we sign on.

The Cone Of Self Absorption sounds like a Rod Serling Twilight Zone episode.

How about the hundreds of Guests?

I like a lot of Clint Eastwood movies....

The Italian trilogy.

My favorite Dirty Harry is Magnum Force.

But my FAVORITE FAVORITE is Where Eagles Dare.

LOL, but well, maybe it's correct that we're most focused on ourselves, our immediate families, and our closest friends.

For most of us, even the places where we work, which seem so crucial and where we might spend most of our waking hours, can change - and then a place which was the focus of our lives does after a while leave our frames of reference.

Freddie · « **Reply #48 on:** October 10, 2024, 07:12:09 AM »

I guess even our immediate blood relatives, who might have been such an important part of our day-to-day lives, can leave our daily frame of reference.

Freddie · « **Reply #49 on:** October 10, 2024, 07:14:33 AM »

I'm really getting remiss about not spreading long posts out over several posts.

Freddie · « **Reply #50 on:** October 10, 2024, 07:18:06 AM »

"Blood Relatives" - that's a sinister sounding phrase for something that should be warm and cuddly.

Freddie · « **Reply #51 on:** October 10, 2024, 07:22:15 AM »

Ron, our mutual friend in Tampa has (on Facebook) marked himself safe from the hurricane.

Wordle: 6/6 (again!)

TOD
the Italian trilogy
Play Misty for Me

I recently bought a copy of Paint Your Wagon ($2), but I would hardly call myself a fan.

John G. · « **Reply #55 on:** October 10, 2024, 08:26:03 AM »

Watching the rest of We Were Strangers. It's excellent. It's also easy to see why it was banned or withheld from distribution during the Cold War.

John G. · « **Reply #56 on:** October 10, 2024, 08:27:30 AM »

It has the same great black and white look that Night of the Iguana has.

John G. · « **Reply #57 on:** October 10, 2024, 08:45:02 AM »

It's time to leave this page.

John G. · « **Reply #58 on:** October 10, 2024, 08:45:14 AM »

Only two posts.

John G. · « **Reply #59 on:** October 10, 2024, 08:45:21 AM »

Onward!
