Matchka- Congratulations!
Katla- Are you unable to go to the stables now? Most horse stuff here is continuing with those on the ground masked and distanced, just the rider without a mask. Hard to get too close when you are mounted.
KJ - Sending healing angels for your back.
I have hit disagree a few times by accident usually when I am on my phone. I just touch it again and it goes away.
Everyone take care Sue in WA2 -
I've added a whole bunch of photos to my Grad Album ...

"Get to do"s and "chose well"sChose well: BP, corrected roster to Cal-Or to board for final ok, pick up glasses, W~M.
Bonus: updated usps click ship account (that I’d forgotten I had), baked and wrapped Mama’s holiday nut balls.
Get to do: take BP, dogs to powerline, call R, Post Office, corrected roster to Cal-Or, index mutual aid files, watch STAS Day 18 (go sniff), submit grant pics and receipts, test Bluetooth speaker so can do BB&B or T’ai Chi from voice recordings, make experimental almond paste, declutter sideboard, practice new dances (I ain’t never gonna love nobody but Cornell Crawford (Alley cat), A Little Less Broken, One margarita, I’m so used to being broke, All Night, Nothing but You, Blame it on my beating heart, Homesick); finish mulching flowerbed; broadcast cover crop seed in veg garden areas, invest another 10 minutes in prepping living trust, Freddie’s for complete series TDAP <$48, get Shingrix vaccine, find and configure a screen time popup, figure out where to plant naked lady bulbs, and soon as it warms up above 50 and dries out below 60% humidity I’ll tape and spray paint those rusted areas of Aunt Elsie’s stove. Reconcile Joe’s EOB’s Thrivent shows only 2263.48 so far, Monday call State Fire Marshall’s office re: reporting, next BGBS ask Terry about GB’s FD firetruck tax levy – contacts, media, advocate???, Monday: recycling.
Reward: inventory seeds, plan next year’s garden, wishlist replenishments, ask faucet question, if answer ok order.
Do Good December
18: Give away something that you have been holding onto: oh nooo! Does donating my bicycle, helmet and motorcycle boots a few weeks ago count? :}
Kelly Oww! Thankful for your PTs’ advice. Can you tolerate aspirin or ibuprofen?
Heather you make that kale sound appealing. Well done! Like you, it took us several tries to buy a place in our desired area, and our move was hellish, from wildfire evacuations, through failed trailer tires, ending with me in hospital with blood clots from the extended drive. We are also thrilled to be living here and are thankful we persisted.
Machka the pic. Your DH’s smile is so proud! And love the ER quote. But WOW your gorgeous before during and after grad photos. Hubba hubba!
Lanette Everclear, LOL! Wonder if brandy would work as well? Yep ‘nother storm just blew in for the weekend. Our cistern is gonna be soooo happy.
Barbie ditto your memories of the salk injection. I tried to avoid it in kindergarten by hiding behind the door but was not successful. Was really glad when the sabin cube became available as it meant one less shot.
Tina Roman Holiday always made me sad. Great advice to Annie.
Annie thank Goodness for Steve! So glad to hear the progress. Agree with Machka about reporting the hacking to your local police? They may have resources to help you. These hackers make me so angry. So sorry your Dad wouldn’t listen to you, but relieved he did to his “real tech support.” Testosterone poisoning knows no age limits.
Rebecca “Time in line where I could get COVID is not worth the hassle” Amen, sister AMEN!
Evelyn and Katla YES to the lights. Haven’t put them up yet but always enjoyed them first thing in the morning (and last thing at night). And YES to your suggestion that Allie move home with health care and get away from Jean’s flu.
Fae “…the T-word” SMH. How freedom of speech has been eroded by political correctness (imho). The Cogburn lineage, yet another source of your warrior strength. Fascinating.
Kay thanks for asking the “how do you know…” and Machka for answering. Now that I’ve looked at it once, don’t think it’s something I need to add to my “to do” list
Michelle that TSO livestream, so disappointing! Hope the re-watching works better.
Meeting up with C and T tomorrow at 10 for a Christmas Car Coffee Ocean Social. We’ll each bring our own coffee, sit in our own cars, park next to the ocean so we can watch the stormy waves, and conference call our cellphones to chat. C-19 is bringing out the creative resourcefulness in us, another silver lining.
Lighter, lovelies!

Sue, the stable is available and I would love to go but DH has been very needy lately & I haven’t done much other than errands. I need to have a discussion with him, and I need to be in touch with my friend who owns the stable.2

Look back at page 45 my second post from the bottom. Why would anyone give me a disagree for that post? Yes, someone is following me on this THREAD and is doing this on purpose. I doubt it is a regular or long time poster on this thread. Anyone have any idea who our moderator is and if they can see who is doing this?

Let it go. It really doesn't matter. It makes no difference in anything at all.
Just relax and enjoy the upcoming Christmas season.

It sounds like YOU'RE getting these "disagrees" as if someone is making sure they hit the disagree button on YOUR posts, yes it does. It would mean someone has some deep-seated or otherwise issues with what you post... I have not seen anything objectionable to ANYTHING you post! I do not think it is ok that someone does this. It's not right.

I loved Rooster Cogburn, and I think John Wayne did a great job portraying his character. I always liked Katherine Hepburn in any role she played.
John Franklin "Rooster" Cogburn was one of my great cousins. The family came from Cockburn Scotland where they were known for raising champion fighting roosters. Rooster had a cousin Fayette a tough mountain man and sharpshooter. They were involved in killing a man that messed with their women. Family rumor of old was that was where I got my name and tough mountain woman ways and became a dead eye sharpshooter with rifle or revolver. As they say in the Liberty Insurance ad, I don't see it hahaha!
You're right Fae, why would someone disagree with this post????? Who keeps making the mistake of hitting the wrong button on your posts?
I've never gotten one, so I don't understand.... some people are not right in the head - we know this is around us and I'm not one to enjoy the negative dysfunction that some people have... Just say'n.2 -
M congratulations! Well done!2

@Machka9 Congratulations!
@Fae, I didn't follow all that. I saw that you had one post that got a disagree, but maybe it's on another thread the one with abundant disagrees? I didn't see it here, but I am not going back t check disagrees.
I used to like the woo button (now gone) because for me it very surely meant woo-hoo! yay! but for others it seemed to mean woo woo (an expression I'm not really familiar with or don't use at all) in a mocking way. I have to hold my tongue a bit to avoid saying something with a political bent or something that someone my feel is too critical. It's tricky as one doesn't water down one's thoughts too much either.
@Annie that's rough with the password. It's hard enough to keep on top of all that password stuff now. I can't imagine when aged 80 or so...

Good evening all:
Caught up reading the last couple of days-it is becoming a Friday wind down habit!
Julie-if the table isn't too far off, could you perhaps put some felt or cork on the leg cut to the shape to level it out? I would try something like that if return is a hassle. That is the problem with some of the on-line furniture. Your idea of hiring someone to help is a good one. I can put most things together, but it is difficult at times without another set of hands.
Machka-Congratualtions! You look very happy and your husband looks to be bursting with pride!
Had several sneezing bouts today and feel like a cold may be coming on. Of course, these days you feel strange you worry about Covid. I'll just wait and see. If nothing tomorrow, could just be some allergy symptoms.
In terms of vaccines here, I am not certain that after hospital workers and those in nursing homes how well other groups will be broken down other than by age. It would be very difficult to separate everyone out. Perhaps there will be something for doctor's to provide that could bump a younger person with significant health issues ahead. I am 66 and would fall into the "old group" that may come after medical personnel, emts, nursing homes, etc. but would not fight if someone younger with serious health issues got in line before me. I guess I will just sign up when they say I am eligible.
Got bone density scan today. Haven't had one for awhile. Since I have had both hips replaced they did my spine and my forearm. Have to stop by gyn office next week to pick up pessary-hopefully they have results then. Getting second shingles vaccine in between Christmas and New Years-health things should be taken care of.
Off to watch some Ancient Aliens and get a good night's sleep.
Take care all,
Ginny in Ohio
Hi Ginny, agreed about the table. I was mentioning it to a friend-colleague on the phone and he said that usually ikea is not too bad and if you check you might realise that you're missing few millimetres here because you didn't totally screw in totally there, and not to screw in all screws totally at the same time, so I'm going to try. I tried calling and didn't get the right service. It's very obscure and clear they don't want to make it easy to get help. Sof if it doesn't work with the table I'll add a bit of something underneath.
Do you think the sneezing could be from the dust after vacuuming? I'm 57 so am presumably very low priority, other than that I'm a teacher so I'll wait and see. Also, (not to criticise or influence others or get into a debate) I'd just as soon not be in the front line for vaccines, so others can see any issues that might emerge from it. If I were 70+ I might feel quite differently. I have never had a bone density check. I should as my mom had osteoporosis, but it seems to not be on the radar of frequent tests here. I'd have to insist upon it to get one. I remember some time suggesting it (maybe to youngish replacement doctor) and I think someone said it was not recommended.

That's it! I've had enough. There is enough paranoia, suspicion and vitriol running rampant in the world right now without coming here to find it.
Machka - thank you for being the voice of reason.10 -
bike assembled. works pretty well. looking at how to attach computer to handlebars. they have things for tablettes (which I really don't use) but not for laptops...I'm sure something can be made w/straps a thing piece of board or even firm cardboard and a few things to attach them. it's mostly a question of getting to it.1

ah, having trouble getting out of the house today... now it's already 4pm and sun sets in less than an hour.
