Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
You want to fight. I don't.
The Covid opinions as if anyone does have the facts goes on and on and on. I might die of hearing about it before any virus will take me out.
It is like beating a dead horse.🤮

Yes, that is a very bad taste joke, Send. You should not have posted it.
(Sorry, I know that joke was in bad taste.)
Moving on over to the Caregivers behaving badly thread now.
You Gershun wern't there to measure, were you?
There are many many many people who live in apartments with or without young kids with no where to escape the heat. The malls are dead and closed, parks are closed, only beaches to go to. And now they are being called selfish and self-entitled to want to go to the beach?
All those who oppose going back to work are the ones who don't have any financial worries, no jobs to lose. They either on SS, still work or work at home, depend on someone else, have plenty of money, etc.
My aunt is the sole earner in her family as my uncle was injured and could no longer work. She is on unemployment, getting less than $200/week. That's not enough to cover food, utilities, car payment and RENT. Thankfully, she's getting the extra $600/week for the next few months as part of the stimulus program, otherwise, the unemployment alone would not cover their expenses and they wouldn't be able to make rent. She worries she may not have a job to go back to because the owner of the small shop where she works is also struggling financially. They are being called selfish for wanting to go back to work.
I might put up a sign outside....Observing social distancing (forever).
Well, tomorrow is another day and, hopefully less filled with memories than this one. I think I will go have a hot bubble bath. 🛀
If you had not posted all along how that was going with you, Golden, and how you survived with a good strong attitude, when it came time for my hubs and I to evacuate the smoke and threats from fires, I would not have known what to do, as I had to step up and be the leader. So thanks, for all these years! ☔️🌞🔥⛈🌬🌫🌊🌋⛈😊
Four years ago I had just finished throwing things into the car and set off north, checking the nearby gas station on my way, which had a huge line up so I bypassed it. I figured 3/4 of a tank of gas was enough for where ever I was going. Remembering the relief at finally, 8 hours later and in the dark, finding a work camp, a parking spot and joining a line up for registration. The "room" was more of a cubby hole, but had a bed, a tv, a small table and some places to hang clothes. The bathroom was down the hall and very utilitarian. The best part of the accommodation was the cafeteria - large,well equipped and the food was very good. By cell phone contact I knew my those of my family that lived in the area had found accommodation too. Whew - safe for now.
You got that right. I don’t have to have the latest technology. Hahaha, that would cost a fortune! Plus, I usually drive a car until it dies.
The only people that are not left behind are the people that buy the newest tech gauges...so those of us that don't buy a new cell phone once a year or new windows and all the other new technology are left behind, therefore you are not alone. There is a lot of us! Because really who can keep up except the people who have money to blow and those who make a living doing IT!
I am so glad that I didn't offend you because I really do like you.💗😜
That didn’t even cross my mind. I never thought you were insulting me. No need for an apology.
That stinks that the year before had the CD. I missed it by a year. Oh well. You know how electronics are. It’s always changing. I guess what I have now will be out of date next year.
I didn't mean that you had the bottom basic car. Sorry! I did read that the 2019 Hyundai Elantra does not offer CD player as a option, but they did offer it on the 2018 models. That sucks!
I would think you could download your CDs into the Cloud so that you could bring them down through your car radio, but not really sure.
I so did not mean to offend you! Sorry, do you forgive me NHWM?😌
Yes, I have Bluetooth. I do miss my CD player. I have a few radio stations that I listen to. My daughters do what you do when they ride in my car. I love the thing that goes beep, beep, beep if a car is behind my car. LOL
Polar,
We have a local station that reads all the best sellers, classics, fiction, non fiction, medical journals, major newspapers and magazines to the blind. It’s a nonprofit public station. It’s wonderful!
As many sighted people listen to it as blind people. They read unabridged books and once in awhile the author will show up to read the book. What a treat!
That is what I have to get either my hubby or daughters to do for me. I don’t know how to do it. There is a way to transfer it.
I use the CD player to listen to audiobooks while driving. How do you do that in a new car without a CD player?
My daughters are always telling me that I am out of the loop because I don’t know all of the hi tech stuff which is embarrassing because my husband, their dad is a tech guy. I am the only one not up to date, haha
Yes, it’s all modern digital so I have lots of cds that I cannot use in my car. I need to ask my daughter how to transfer.
Shell,
I don’t have the bottom of the line basic car. It’s the upgraded model. It’s like cwille says, it’s modernized for new technology.
I wanted to downsize with my car. I want to downsize my home too but having a hard time getting my hubby to move into a small home.
Really!? I thought all new cars had CD players...my bad!! It must be a basic model!!😵 That just sucks!!
When the kids were young, I did the minivan thing. I went back to driving a car. It’s just my husband and I at home now. I didn’t want a big car anymore. The Elantra feels roomy inside though. I love it too.
