Now that the divorce is final......OUCH.
Gotta say I miss the old days of "Take your cat and leave my sweater.".

Today I had one slice of toasted avocado bread with seeds and used half an avocado on my breakfast toast, then cooked one egg over easy and sprinkled hemp hearts and chia seeds over the egg and had my version of “avocado toast” for breakfast. One little clementine orange for the perfect shot of vitamin C.

OMG I am so concerned about all the drone sightings! There is something going on, and I’m worried about it. Are they aliens? Are they from a foreign country? Is it Elon Musk and the orange fellow? Is it our own government?

Oh my God when I was a young child I used to have horrible fears about UFOs. I would read books about strange mysteries and often the stories were about UFOs. And then it didn’t help that my aunt would tell me stories about all the UFO she had seen in the quarries. And of course, the quarry is right behind my house!

What do you think about all this?

Yeah, I know those drones! You would think they could impose a curfew ( temporary) until someone comes forward with info. Also..why not temporary ban for 48, see who listens? Some one would squawk about their rights to fly??


Anyways...last night I was watching Home Alone Two, actually dozing off and on, lol. The commercials I saw were sooo Kid oriented for Christmas. Made me remember watching those commercials and yelling...Mom, Mom, I want that!!
Guess I'm used to watching other stations with perfume, Macy's and Capitol one commercials. Lol

I'll never tire of watching John Travolta dance.

I try not to think about aliens - like, if I ignore them, they will ignore me. I fly under the radar, so to speak.

As for the drones, I'm betting on Elon.

"Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)" by John Lennon is a tender song written for his son, Sean, expressing his love and delight in watching him grow, and includes the famous quote "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans".

The lyrics reflect a father's gentle reassurance, encouragement to pray, and a positive outlook on life.

The song incorporates the famous Allen Saunders quote, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans," which adds a layer of philosophical reflection to the song.

“Democrats gave us Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Obama’s ACA. The GOP gave us The Great Depression, The Great Recession, January 6th terrorist attack, and people dying from measles,”
— Dean Obeidallah.

ETA: I would also place Covid 19 in this assertion of facts, as well. Millions of people died because of the GOP & t——p.

I do a daily exercise of looking for types of facts and today’s fact finding mission seemed shady (lol).

These are weird, yet interesting facts I found today:

1) Venus is the only planet to spin clockwise.

2) The Eiffel Tower was originally made for Barcelona.

3) The quickest commercial flight is in Scotland.

4) Cleopatra was born in Egypt but was of Macedonian descent.

5) The International Space Station orbits the earth in 90 minutes.

I’d hang a big question mark on that particular assertion because most all of us know that being a passenger on an airplane can spiral upwards of over 8 hrs in flight mode before stopping to drop off passengers or to refuel the airplane. Unless this particular fact about the ISS discloses its longitude and latitude coordinates and other factual info explaining how ISS orbits the earth in 90 minutes is logically explained, then I rest my case in Spock-like fashion.

The International Space Station (ISS) orbits the earth every 90 minutes, or approximately 16 times a day. It travels at approximately 17,500 mph. It's average altitude is 260 miles above Earth's surface, in low Earth orbit. This velocity balances the Earth's gravitational pull with centrifugal force, which keeps the ISS from falling back to Earth or flying off into space.

"These values are approximate due to factors like atmospheric drag and periodic reboosts to maintain altitude."

For folks like me that have a difficult time getting in and out of stores, drive through pharmacies are a necessity. Our new Publix has a pharmacy drive through, but none of the other Publixes in our area do. I don't like going to the new Publix because it's out of the way and it's at a crazy, difficult intersection. Most of the time, the boy picks them up for me, anyway.

But last week I had to pick up a couple of prescriptions myself. When I was in the Publix, I noticed a sign; they will now BRING YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS OUT TO YOUR CAR. All you have to do is use their app and pay before you pick it up. This is great news!

My niece lives in a small city in Georgia and has been looking for a job. Many of her friends have also been looking. She was applying to lots of jobs online, and almost immediately after applying, she would receive a "thanks, but no thanks" email.

She decided online was not working out, so she took a stack of resumes and began going around town, applying in person. This did not pay off either, even in an interview. Eventually, she applied at a Longhorn Steakhouse, a business in which she has a lot of experience. The manager told her to "go home and don't leave".

Upon further discussion with the manager, he admitted to her that the reason all those businesses had posted job ads but nobody was hiring was because "the government pays businesses to post help wanted ads". Apparently, the businesses receive checks for this. The supposed purpose is for the government to be able to claim that "lots of jobs are available but nobody wants them", so the unemployment situation is "fine".

I have to wonder how long this has been going on. I'll bet I know, but I could be wrong. Have any of you ever heard of this happening?

That's crazy! I experience a literal opposite at work. Folks apply for jobs and then 90% of the time don't respond to a request for an interview. About 1 in every 5 interviews shows up. I don't understand it at all.

For those who have been following the experiment: Operation "roast the peeps on the fire" was splendid. They burn much faster than marshmallows, due to the sugar coating. Of the two adult children and the two children children, two like them better than marshmallows, two prefer OG style.
