I just heard a new word (ok, new to me, lol) that seems to describe t perfectly!

Lubberwort! It means a lazy or stupid person, and is attributed to Shakespeare.
Thank you to Professor Tracy Borman, who's short video on "Daily life in the age of Queen Elizabeth I" for the history extra channel on you tube, introduced the word to me.
Lubberwort! What a fun word!

I would like to make a polite request, please.

If you are going to post an article about an event taking place somewhere, please put what city/state/country it may be happening in.
For example:
This event is happening in portland.
Which Portland? Maine? England? Oregon?
Better would be:
This event happening in Portland, Oregon....

With so many towns, cities, and counties sharing names, saying what state or country a town or city is in would be very helpful.
Thanks.

Epstein fury

Yesterday, i saw someone i know who has friends in Iran. They had contacted them, and was rather startled to discover that some in Iran were actually glad of what isreal and the u.s. have done.
The ramifications for this are still spreading, and I don't like where this going.

To: Most Male Muscians

Re: Crotch grabbing
Since the 1980's i have noticed many Male Muscians, when performing, grab their crotch. What's that all about? You gotta go pee? Got an itch? Trying to draw your female fans attention to your package? Your pants are falling down? You trying to masturbate on stage? You don't need to draw attention to your crotch, we know it's there. Your performances would be much better if your hands stayed away from that area.

Guess I'm just an old fuddy duddy, but save that gesture for when you are behind closed doors with your intimate partner or in a medical setting and need to show a doc a medical related issue.

Lol! One of the delivery people for our area

came in wearing a tshirt that read:
"Lead me not into to temptation. Oh, hell, who am I kidding, follow me i know a shortcut"
Myself and a couple of other visitors and volunteers burst out laughing when we read it.
🤣🤣🤣

Watched the Bad Bunny halftime show on you tube today.

It was wonderful. I did wonder though if people in the seats right on the field where able to see anything beyond when he was on the roof of the casita.
Oh, you all may get a laugh out of this! As i was scrolling through to find BB show, there was one posted by a Dr....Turkey? claiming that the all white superbore show beat out the BB show, that more americans watched. I didn't click on it, I was laughing to hard.

About mwmisses4289

Military brat living in a red state when I'd rather be in a blue state. Am bossed around by cats, lots of cats. Have grandiose dreams of being an artist of some sort, but settle for making hand crafted cards. Liberal (mostly) and willing to admit it. Enjoy doing things with DH and other family. Startled to realize I am now (gasp!) considered elderly: mind doesn't feel that way, but body does remind me that I ain't a spring chicken anymore. Boring, ordinary person living each day as it comes.
