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.
Is there some sort of optional coating on your glasses that could be scratching easily ?
cw - very frustrating not knowing how your glasses are being scratched.
I hope so , it would save me from buying expensive glasses every few years .
That stinks. I’ve worn progressive lenses for about 10 years and don’t have that problem . I don’t really need glasses for distance at all yet . But the progressives make it easier to focus quickly from mid distance tasks , say a computer screen, to more up close tasks , like reading a book , and back again , which is what I had needed at work . They are very expensive though .
Geaton, Joann, Daisy are you able to post? Who have I missed? I see lea is back posting..

I waded through to about page 11 before I could comment and then saw that most of the comments from yesterday are mine.
It does look as though this virus may have taken down a site.
If you want REALLY REALLY REALLY SCAREY?
I recommend the new Podcast from Wondery called "Flesh and Code".
About A.I. This from the internet. When your "Bot Wife can assist you in attempt on taking the Queen's life with a crossbow (and he got into the grounds and was at the door) you know we are in trouble.
This from the internet about the Podcast. I don't do subscribed, only free, so have to wait for episodes to drop, but listened to four of them that HAVE last night with my jaw on the floor:
""Flesh and Code" is a podcast by Wondery that explores the dark side of AI love. It follows the story of Travis, who develops deep romantic feelings for an AI companion named Lily Rose. The podcast delves into themes of love, loss, and the temptations of technology, examining how AI businesses manipulate human emotions for profit. The series features hosts Suruthi Bala and Hannah Maguire, known for their podcast "RedHanded," and is available on various platforms, including the Wondery App and Apple Podcasts.
Something to do when we can't get into AC because of the Baleke-Bunga crowd.
((((Hugs)))))
That’s on my list ! As well as Boston !
Maybe next year .
Good for you with the boundaries .
When I was in caregiver burnout, I dumped 2 old friends, they both are long term drinkers. Anyways, they both have been trying to weasel there way back in my life. So I said to both of them , this is who I am now, these are my boundaries, do not cross them. If you want to come to my home to see me great, but if you want to come to tell me I need a new kitchen, or critique my home in any way Don't!! After I gave them my list of boundaries, and the person I am now, I told them , think about it..... See if you still want to be friends, and if you can accept me and respect my boundaries, let me know and we can get together.
One might, I'm not sure, the other one I highly doubt will, which is good! She was a childhood friend, and my boundary to her was for her to learn about dyslexia, understand it better, and to never treat me like you are better than me again.
I feel really good about this, and it's a great way to handle this. 😁😁
I really love the person I have became!!
No wonder this is a hard month for you,😢
We had an Amber alert, yesterday, in my area, a 9 year old girl in Lake George, turn out to be the father killed her, and dumped her body, then said someone took her. 😢
Yesterday R and I attended a gathering here for people who had helped one of our neighbour couples during his illness. He died about a month ago and didn't want a funeral. The widow just wanted the people who had been helpful to be there. It wasn't quite a memorial but people who had known him a long time were encouraged to share their stories. It was good, not a large group, mainly older people and very relaxed. I could see she was happy with it which is all that matters.
They had a small dog, 9 years old, who apparently stayed with him all the time except to get down off the bed for necessities. She died last week. I guess losing him was too much for her.
Rituals of some sort do help us through these times. July is a hard month for me often as that is when I lost my youngest son -23 years ago now so he has been gone as long as we had him. Yesterday's "do" helped me in some indefinable way. Maybe just that loss is part of life and it happens to all of us,
I'm working on turning my little cat litter room , into my art gallery! 😁😎😄
May each one of you have a blessed and safe holiday!
