You are very sweet, but yeah…I was getting a little whiney. Everyone has baggage, and usually those suitcases are named after family members.
I have seen evidence that unconscious people sometimes do hear and often remember what is happening around them. I’m old enough to have done enough death watches to know that the attending medical folks usually know what is happening with the loved one during their final hours.
I always make sure that the last words I say to anyone I care about when leaving (or hanging up the phone) are loving and kind, because those could really be the last words I ever say to them.
There are a few nice things about living in the land of eternal summer.
That has got to be the L-iest L I’ve ever seen. Great work!
I’m so happy you are home…is a shallow bath an option?
You don’t show us enough pictures. Nelson is always a cutie and your cards are amazing!
As well you should! Nothing makes a lawn look better than a couple of brews.
(Hubs thinks he’s getting too fat because of his beer making hobby and has moved on to Gin. We have many juniper bushes growing wild out thisaway, I don’t know why he’s wasting money ordering juniper berries online.)
As a good tree hugger, I try to compost. I have a rolling compost bin and dutifully feed the bin suitable kitchen waste and straw or dry leaves. I’ve never been able to keep it moist enough to properly compost due to the lack of bulk.
A common community compost pile would be so nice because then everyone would help generate the amounts of plant mass to make it work.
Today TC friend told me that she has 25 cats. We once had 12 cats in a place much bigger than hers and that was just barely manageable, no wonder she is always so grateful when I give her kibble or litter. I love cats, and understand the desire to save the “ugly” ones, but she really needs to learn how to say “No.”
TC also thinks we are old and need to build up our ankles and calves so gave us TWO more moves and smiles while telling us that we would feel it tomorrow. Ha HA! I fooled her, I’m feeling it tonight!
NF is talking about getting a rescue dog so she would be forced to get off her butt and walk several times a day. She has been practicing walking on the hills and gullies around her place and has been looking at rescue pics.
GG’s breeder had several dogs in the house, so GG learned about dogs back when he was just a little jerkface. It will be interesting to see how GG reacts to seeing a dog in his house now. (We will have to lock VBC in the bedroom with some catnip because she wasn’t very nice to the last canine visitor we had.)
Do not use organic flour. It is processed differently than regular flour and kills the good wild bacteria you want. Use a small jar to help the process heat up. Be sure the jar is clean, but don’t sterilize it. Star-san is a no-no in this process. You are not making cheese, you are trying to domesticate some wild bacteria and they get spooked off by too much clean.
Have patience. Fermentation takes way too much hands-off time, but the process has worked for centuries.
Good luck…and let me tell you that it will probably be like me not being able to make a cheddar. Once you’ve got it, you will be all 
Changes subject to a different food. The intertubes told me to spray olive oil on cut avocados to stop them from browning. This morning I cut a quarter of a ripe avocado and sprayed olive oil on the cut edges, put it in a sealed container and back in the fridge. I noticed it again (looking as fresh as if I had just cut it) around 1400 and sliced off another wedge that I shared with hubs. It was just as nice as a newly sliced fruit, so I sprayed the fresh cut again.
I just looked and it is still nice and green, not turning brownish like it does with lemon so I think this is an intertubes win for us.
Next Imma trying the highlighter on the windows to stop the birds from flying into them trick.
The birds fly into my stitching room window enough to distress me. Well, actually once is enough when it comes to hurting wildlife, but once a week tells me that I have to do something about it.
I’ve tried decals and hanging mirrors with no success, but the intertubes say that using a chartreuse (fancypants word for dayglow yellow) highlighter to make a grid on windows will be pretty unnoticeable to humans but will be warn birds off.
I just happen to have a yellow highlighter, so scribbled on my window. If I can’t see it in the daylight, I will do a proper grid and hope to never hear another bird hit the window. I will also have to tell our housekeeper because she does the windows twice a year and will want to know what’s going on with my window and the french doors.
Somebody once told me the world’s’ is gonna roll me,
I wish Bob had been around long enough to finish the mission.
