Air Quality was better last night than now. I am beginning to feel a headache. I can barely make out the trees & shrubs on the Washington side of the river.

Viv: It is good to see you posting again! Welcome BACK! :bigsmile:
Machka: My first cat was given to me at an auction when I was a college freshman. We named her Peter because the auctioneer said she was a boy. Peter Cat was amazing. She was poisoned several years later by a neighborhood cat hater. I hope he was reincarnated as a cat.
On another topic, if you came to dinner at my house it would include meat, likely chicken, beef or fish. It would also have brown rice, gluten free pasta or potatoes and green salad. 
Faye: AQI is not very good this morning, but has dropped to 363. It is a little better, but still unpleasant. We’ll be staying inside as much as possible. :grumble: We saw the sun briefly this morning, and then the smoke covered it up again.
Pip: I’m delighted to hear that your Airstream found a good home. Do you suppose they’ll still call it Bette?
Heather: I like the look of the new stainless refrigerator/freezer much better than black. I think black shows every little bit of dust on it and is harder to keep clean. I crave light so dark appliances don’t appeal to me.
Lisa: I’m always happy to see you post. I’m glad you were able to get a little extra sleep.
Annie: Congrats on a nice day at the beach.
Rita: Our elementary school is next-door to the grocery store. The lights were on and the parking lot full of teacher’s cars. Back to school is good news.
Carol in GA: I don’t prefer Starbucks coffee, either, but my neighbor loves it. I like a medium roast and Starbucks is usually too dark for my taste. :ohwell:
We went to the grocery store this morning and DH stocked up on beef. Holy moley! I hope we have enough freezer space to handle it all.
Add me to the list of coffeeholics. We have coffee every morning, but not later in the day.
Our AQI is 363 right now. This is an improvement from yesterday. Being outside is still not a good idea. Our Covid masks are good for filtering out smoke as well as virus, in my experience.

I doubt it, but that’s ok, she’ll always be Bette to us0 -
Afternoon ladies
Barbie- you are exactly right im making a living and thats a good thing.
Went and got my hair done ohhhh boy does it feel sooo much better...thank goodness
Enjoying the Waltons ,always did..
We are getting the smoke all the way from across the US .hazy sun here..bless you a that are in the path of the bad stuff..2 -
Rain most of yesterday and last night. Our air is much clearer here on Whidbey island, in WA. My sister in Damascus OR isn't fairing well, using her nebulizer, feeling lousy, won't talk to me on Messenger. I hope she pulls thru this smoky mess. Maybe she's just going thru alcohol withdrawals who knows. Talked to my sister in Montana, she's feeling under the weather too. Dang nabbit! My poor sick family! Husband and I are the only healthy ones! Oh and my mother inlaw. She's got Arkansas blood, nothing can slow her down!💖
Hugs to each of yas!

Katla - I agree about the black appliances, I have a black stove top and I really don't like it. I wipe it a couple of times a day and it still has dust on it when I look at it.
Debbie - Mine isn't that bad right now, I understand about the roommate part though and for me I was the breadwinner for a long time so felt like it was for the money. In early 2019 I packed a bag and was ready to leave, but the car wouldn't start. We ended up talking for most of the day and things changed and for the most part they did. I am frustrated right now because the way I figure it I have two days a year where I should be treated a little special, Mother's Day and my Birthday. Since my Grandson was born (not that I don't love that) I don't even have my birthday to myself. My husband doesn't go buy me anything anymore, not that I really need anything, but it would mean a lot to me if he just went and bought a card for me, something to say that he thinks of me and it's not just another day on the calendar. He would have to go out of his way to do that though and that is the part that irritates me.5 -
Rebecca Sorry to hear about your sisters. Nebulizers are a real lifesaver during these smokey times for many. My best friend uses one and seems to be taking the smoke better than me. Damascus is still at 283 and very hazardous. It seems to be getting thicker here now. Their prediction of lifting and sun seems to have reversed. Hugs to you and best wishes for your sisters to get better.2

Hi Ladies!
Guess who had pouring rain this morning? I drove to town to do some quick shopping while my cleaner was here and the freeway was just like old times, spray all over from trucks and windshield wipers going. Didn't have quite that much at our house, but enough to dampen things. The AQI is now 199, down from 210 earlier this morning and there's a definite breeze. Hope is on the way I think.
I had thought this morning. If loving my housecleaner is wrong, I don't want to be right.
Of course I only see her maybe 10 minutes every 2 weeks before we turn the place over to her.
Faye - where are you getting the cloud ceiling figures? Before this virus crap came on the scene, I was waiting for a class to open in our area to become a "weather spotter" for the National Weather Service. I just checked - I see they have an online class. https://www.weather.gov/pdt/spotterTraining Might be a fun way to fill up some time at home.

Still smokey SW WA State but there's hope!1 -

mine is just the opposite as far as gifts goes- he buys stuff (usually too much) and thinks that makes everything fine- his mother is the same way. Mother's day- he actually told me last year that he didn't need to buy me anything because I am not HIS mother, that is for our son to do, now that he is working. I don't want/need things- I want some simple attention- for him to treat me like his wife, not just some person that happens to live in the same house who cooks all the meals, does all the laundry, 90% of the dishes, and that sleeps in the same bed. Instead of the saying being "friends with benefits" it is "wife without benefits". Financially we are good but otherwise, I say we are bankrupt.5 -

Agree with you about the nebulizer- they really help. Got my prescription filled last night- well PART of it- know it all pharmacist decided that what the doctor wrote out wasn't what she meant so instead of 75 vials, that is on the script, she said it was only for 25(something about because it was 2.5ml for each vial-) Supposed to use it every 4 hours so 25 will not last very long- Emailed my doctor and hopefully she will send in a new one.

............PRESENTING:............
New vehicle, don’t remember if it’s 2020 or 2021, doesn’t matter tho, what our criteria was:
1- better gas mileage
2- color (my issue)
3- sun roof (my issue)
4- back seats need to fold flat
5- back wide enough to fit a bike
6- can put on rack on top
BIGGEST problem was the color!!! I don’t like silver or dark gray, Kirby Schlotterback didn’t want white or black, there are a shitload of black white and gray cars out there!!!
This is it, it’s more like a blue2 -

Debbie - that’s how we were for more than a dozen years. Last year when I packed a bag seemed to have changed that part mostly. I can live with it at least. It’s the maid, cook, and such that hasn’t changed much. He says the same thing to me about Mother’s Day, I don’t agree I think you should be respected as the mother of your children.
I was raised that women were important and to be treasured. I thought I married someone like that but it seems to have changed through the years. If we were closer we could go for coffee and commiserate together.

Lanette I use AccuWeather and designate the city and it is with all the other daily stats. Just search Cloud Cover for your city and then pick the AccuWeather site.

We're referring to this and similar in my current course, but it could be used for different aspects of life ... moving into retirement, moving to a different location, losing weight, becoming fitter, getting a different job ...

Going to start getting on the bike trainer a lot more. Kirby can go take yogi for a walk while I ride. Going to do the MS virtual ride. This will b interesting. Tomorrow we are going to the dealership to finish up the paperwork and then drive the new car home.
We took Bette to the repair shop and they will get back to us with an estimate to fix it so we can then give to the ins company. Then we took the car to the new owners. They gave us a check, will go deposit it tomorrow1 -
