So yesterday, I went to my mom's house to help her get ready for her nephew's visit (her sister's son, and my cousin).  My niece and I did a bit of yard work, then we (of course) played Phase 10, and I won! :D

There are folks over 65 that perhaps don't qualify for Medicare (due to not earning enough "quarters," moved to this county as an adult, etc.) that we deal with. But no, we don't deal with Medicare at all.

Well my compressor is shot....well the compressor on my heat pump - and it costs over $5000 to replace it.....it was suggested that I just get a new unit.....I said thanks and will think about it.

Mostly I would think about where $5000 would be coming from....not that much capital in the bank for sure....what with eggs being the price they are.

Can’t remember back that far. The doctor who prescribed the Flonase said it was not the drug’s fault and tried putting me on insulin. I fired the doctor. Two days after stopping the Flonase, blood sugar dropped 300 points, a day later it was to its normal high, well under 200 points.

Oh my, good call firing the doctor.  I can understand him not thinking it was the drug, but certainly going off of it and rechecking was the first option before giving you insulin.

An Alabama woman married to an Iranian immigrant says her family regrets supporting President Donald Trump and his aggressive immigration policies after ICE detained her husband over the weekend as part of a recent round-up of Iranian nationals.

They believed in his Trumps immigration policies and truly believed that only criminals were being detained.

And now they are caught in the trap.  I think the punishment is greater than the crime of ignorance.

It’s a mass wine tasting. I hope I don’t discover too much I have missed. I essentially finished the book this morning. It ended up being 27,000 words. I know I will have to cut.

Good luck and enjoy the wine tasting event.

The Humane Society is having fees waived on adoptions tomorrow. So Aunt Sassy will probably be getting a kitty.

Do you think her cat will prefer a kitten or an older cat?
Title: Re: THE STEPFORD NOTES
Post by: Laura on June 27, 2025, 04:51:40 PM
She'll get a young one. Her current cat is 5 and still acts like a kitten. She'll be glad to have someone to play with.
Title: Re: THE STEPFORD NOTES

And she will probably get a calico, because she knows how much I want one.

When I click on the link, it takes me to Adopt A Pet. The "cat" tab is already clicked. It didn't keep the "Papago Park" tab when I posted the link.

It was the first novel ever written. It’s more than 1,000 years old. The woman who wrote it had no form to follow. What she created is a marvel. And occasionally frustrating. And brilliant. And exhausting.
