I loved the Christopher Cross concert last night, but the audience made me feel old! We were all in our 60s, with the exception of a few young people who were probably going with their parents or grandparents. It reminded me of when I went to see Lawrence Welk with my grandmother.

The pettiness is astounding. Y’all knew for TWENTY years that we were in trouble and kicked the can down the road. (I know the truth. I have the paperwork. Lots of receipts.) And now you think you get to tell me how to resolve a generation’s worth of neglect and incompetence? I have three months to get this resolved before we shut down. Get the h-e-double-toothpicks out of my way.

It’s just incredible to think about how far DNA testing has come. Another cold case murderer was arrested. I hope he’s spent the last 40 years looking over his shoulder and the next 40 years locked up. Rest in peace Sara Ann Greer.

PSA: If you are thinking about posting something political on Facebook and you begin with, “Unfriend me if you wish but ….” maybe you should reconsider whether it’s really necessary to post it.

I wish James May had a new show coming soon. I wouldn’t care if it were about cooking, travel, cars or just tinkering with stuff in his workshop. I could use something entertaining that’s low key, amusing and non-political. Plus, I miss “Bim.” Sumimasen.

Surprise! I just tested positive for Covid - I was a virgin - I’m on the tail end thankfully - I was prompted to go to urgent care when I realized I wasn’t really feeling relief from the antibiotics (supposed to end tomorrow) but mostly because I couldn’t taste my pb&j lunch 
Gee friend, thanks!

Husband’s elderly aunt & uncle plan to move to a remote area in the woods in northern CA. Aunt can barely walk & uses scooter and walker all the time, has a ton of health problems (really severe asthma being 1 of them). Uncle is 81 yr old.
And now, yet again, there’s huge wildfires in northern CA.
This has got to be 1 of THE dumbest ideas they’ve ever had. You can’t fix stupid.

Yes, I know it took several months for S to get a job. Yes, I know he quit it after about 2 months. There were good reasons which I will not detail here. Please refrain from judgement of him or us.

The most valuable advice I can give to my children is to never buy property with HOA.

Smile and nod, that’s what I need to do. Don’t say anything that doesn’t need to be said, by me, at the time. It’s going to be hard, but I’ve got this.

My first thought was to call you with the news.
But you already knew. Why would you not think of us?
Just another example

Wow. I don’t know what algorithm FB uses for me for ads. They must have me confused with someone else. Sorry FB, I am not interested in staying 4 nights in a lodge for $80,000 ($100k if I don’t get the 20% early booking discount, lol).

Your dog went out to “greet” a runner?!? And because the runner had earbuds in, she was surprised to see your dog and startled him, so it’s partly her fault that your dog nipped her?? And you were surprised when she called animal control? And now you want to put up a sign at the end of our road stating RESIDENTS ONLY because your dog is on anti anxiety meds and is stressed out by runners and bikers?
OMG, you can’t make this stuff up.

Two weeks ago I had an eye appt with a Doc I’d seen and liked in June, so specifically booked with him. The night before, I got a notice that the appt was changed to another doctor and I couldn’t find anything about her on the webpage so I called and rescheduled specifically with the original doc (who only works at this location on Fridays) for July. I was out of town last Friday so went today after making sure there hadn’t been another switch. Appt still with the doctor I booked with. I was two weeks past due for the treatment.
Got there, checked in, paid my co-pay, did the pre-appt routine with the tech, had the nurse put in the numbing drops…wait wait wait…and in walks someone NOT the doctor I had the appointment with. It was the doctor I could have seen 2 weeks ago. I was angry. I’d called the patient customer service 2 weeks ago and said I didn’t want to see the next doctor in line, that I wanted the doctor I made the appt with and that if they couldn’t do that to let me know and I’d go somewhere else. The customer service rep sent me an email saying that no, I could have the doctor I wanted except in an emergency (and I thought she meant MY emergency, not just that the doctor wanted to do something else that day).
The office administrator came to tell me that she didn’t know what went wrong since she was the one who promised I’d see the original doctor. I suspect the doctor had been there all day and just left before my appt and this other doctor filled in. His name is still on my ‘appt summary’ and on the tests results. It looks like he made the notes on the summary and on the tests but nope, a female doctor did. Little bit of a HIPAA issue, having the wrong name on the chart?
I believe I’ll be moving on. i know they have more patients than they need, but I actually PAY.

Feeling guilty that I’m disappointed that our lake family trip we planned a year ago is likely not happening due to a raging fire.
I’m lucky it’s just a vacation not my home. I just was looking forward to us all being together.

Why is it the same folks over and over that have fraud on their accounts?
I really wish I could watch a video of an Olympic event without the winner of the event being in the title of the video!

It’s been a year tonight and they warned me I would miss you most on this day , and that didn’t make any sense but weren’t they right after all. It’s like my body knows I am sad, even if my brain is saying today isn’t any different. But anyway, I thought you should know that the beans are growing and we’re taking care of Mom and the babies are so much fun and the field got mowed and your sister is still herself and we all have a hole where you ought to be. The world doesn’t make sense without you in it, yet I know you would just shrug and say Life Isn’t Fair so just get on with it and it will work out. Love you always.

It’s a ridiculous problem to have; my jeans and all but 2 pairs shorts are all too big in the waist and I don’t have a belt. It’s the middle of summer and there are no (inexpensive) shorts to be had. Hell is spandex in clothing, haha.
