Air plants are blooming!
One day they are green, and then a few days later they are red and have purple flowers coming out!
(This plant is only 4" high.)
Anyone else have a stink bug problem?
I'm just curious. We are in western NC and we kill between 3 and 12 a day here, year round. They are everywhere in the house. I read that they started in PA but obviously they have spread. We are so sick of seeing them on kitchen counters, on a table next to a cocktail, on the ceiling over the bed. It's great they are harmless and don't bite, but they are everywhere, and the name is apt. Anyone else have these pests? Please don't flame me if you love them and keep them as pets.
Schoen is making me seasick
with that constant rocking back and forth. I may vomit.
Why does Neguse
(who is doing a fantastic job) keep referring to him as President Trump? Is there some strategy to not adding the "former" qualifier or just calling him Donald Trump? He is not President Trump to anyone except Trump himself.
What would cause this?
My husband went out this morning, maybe 32 degrees, and found this in the cat's water bowl. Any thoughts on what would cause this?
Any thoughts on posting from Photobucket?
Nothing I "share" will post here. Not a single link. I know it is a trashy sharing site but it wasn't back in 2008 or so when I first joined, it worked fine, and it has thousands of my pix on it. So I can't post any of them??? Have sent them a support request but what will they say other than use the links?? ARGH.
Our vaccination appt was cancelled
It's my fault. We got the call that we could register on a Friday. We both went online and registered. By Saturday night, we had not received the confirmation email they had promised. I called the phone number on Monday and got us registered.
I imagine they had perhaps 40 doses. This small town in western NC has no cell phone service and only occasionally internet connection. I should have known better and gone with the most archaic method available, the telephone. We drove out to find the health dept yesterday so we would know where it was. Cars were in line for their vaccinations. Those were smart people who knew to use the telephone, perhaps a rotary dial one, to register.
I have learned my lesson, we live in circa 1970. I am back to expecting to get the vaccine sometime from August-October. My husband is now 71, I will be 70 in April. We will be lucky if it comes to this backwoods place (with all the trump signs still up) by late summer.
Actually in tears in disappointment. But, my fault for living in this century instead of pre-internet and -cell phones.
Are there any collaborative online writing sites still up?
These were popular 10 years ago and some even more recently. Now they almost all seem to be gone. Some have turned into games, with "cards" to play in the story, which is ok if that's all there is out there. The only one I can find even a tiny bit active is storium.com, and it seemed to start dwindling in 2015 (based on reddit comments) so I'm a bit late to that party. I always loved collaborative writing, and it seems like an ideal activity for these COVID times, but I'm coming up empty-handed in searches.
Anyone know? And sincere apologies if this is off-topic for this group, but it's the only writing one I could find here.
