Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
Loved, loved, loved best of all cars was my 1981 Toyota Corolla.
Because that's the one I bought from seeing it traveling down the freeway
with so few miles, and 'they' said it couldn't be done!
My car is 2005 = 20 years old and still runs, looks good.
What was the factor that made you buy a newer car?
nacy - seems light light therapy of one sort or another helps many things.
Well done, cw. 👏 I know what you mean!!! But heated seats and steering wheel will make up for a lot of learning. Last car I bought has heated seats but not steering wheel I wish I had that option!!! At 40 below it makes a big difference. (Not that it goes down to 40 below here.)
I was watching a video of someone skating on the streets of New Orleans, now that's gotta suck for all the people who don't have the infrastructure for that. Not to mention all the snowbirds who went south for a little warmth... doh!
Nah, I wouldn't do this either. Lol.
Do what I would do.
That is, follow Golden's advice to stay in bed.
I was away from forum. Husband was in hospital again before New Year and again after.
So frustrated with our system which deals only with immediate problem and not looking at other solutions or treatments. It seems to me nobody looks at whole person, just quick fix by adding or increasing drugs.
Thank you for asking, it helps to be part of the group which understands our plight.
That is a nice car.
Thank you for the car advice Geaton!
Thank you for your comments Gershun!
I appreciate all of you!
Please check…..
All the best to you always.
I watched a movie a while back about a football player who was in prison for something he did not do. His mentor gave him book that helped free his mind.
It was "As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen. It saved his sanity. I ordered the book.
But it's so true. I took some meditation classes once upon a time and the instructor said "acknowledge the thoughts when they come but then just let them pass by" I've been really trying to do this when I get stressed out.
Trying to replace the negative thoughts with something positive.
I am sure not posting any of my concerns because they won't matter as much to me in 3 days.
This is just me, happens all the time. The monthly event crept up on me as I thought the fires had me unsettled. I failed to monitor on the calendar, but my mind and behavior told the whole story.
Taking a nap very soon.
It is somewhat reassuring whenever my dH tells me the smaller earthquakes may lessen the pressure build-up on a fault. But above 2.5, and a 3.5 is bigger, and could be a precursor to a larger E.Q.
Of course, I am just an observer of patterns, nowhere near an expert.
Stay calm everyone. Have some tea in a special teacup before your nap.
Try not to take yourself and your thoughts too seriously at this time.
Cwillie, I think sometimes smaller ones help. Having just read Vesuvius, the smaller ones probably unplugged it for the big one.
Our brains are always ahead of our computations of what is good for us; holds true of plastics and A.I. alike, but whose to say.
It is said that fully 98% of species once here are now lost. Only 2% left and as Carl Sagan said: Extinction is the NORM and survival the exception. We don't last long as a species. Interestingly, the dinos, as a species lasted much much longer than we're likely to. I am not certain anymore whether I long for us to go extinct, or just want that for myself. Ha ha. Don't get a vote anyway.
Funnily enough they just found the Island Volcano that went off way back when and cooled the earth by quite a lot. N. is wondering where our next Volcano may come from.
It's all quite fascinating. And with the best minds all over the earth on it all?
No one seems to have a CLUE. Nor even a clue to what is out there beyond out own Universe. I mean, the gods, maybe. Other than that mankind seems not to have a clue.
Good book to recommend to anyone:
The Ends of the World, by Peter Brannen. Walk Washington State when it was all Lava. See how many times we went South before we even GOT HER! Great read!
The earth is dying a slow death . It wasn’t designed to support so many people .
ANOTHER quake. That's five I know of near the GG Bridge. Wonder if we are heading for the big one. Cali was FULL of quakes last year.
That and the fires. Were I a believer I would think that God must have a bone to pick with California, kids!
