Hey fellow loners
How did your Holidays turn out? Mine was good, all things considered. My dad had a stroke last week and it's been pretty rough. Gonna be a long road of recovery.
I think all of my neighbors must've gotten guns for Christmas. It's sounded like a war zone since about 10 this morning. I decided to go burn some leaves ...... Hope they don't mind
Working on a good friend's campaign this year. She's running for state rep. We're completely inexperienced but we've got heart and good work ethic. Never know, we might mess around and win
Happy New Year to you gals and guys.

Healing vibes on the way to both of you.
Sounds as if you have lovely neighbors...
Happy New Year to you as well.

Most of my neighbors are really good folks. There's one that'll blast his bass music which pisses me off, but I think someone complained so he turns it off at dark.
Today is something else though. The shooting always bothers me and my pets. Hopefully they all got to play with their toys and theyll put them away tmrw

Hopefully, your neighbors will put their toys away.

She said Saturday but I haven't heard back.
Some other day?
Tired from the cleaning anyway!
Sorry about your dad. Best wishes to all.

(23,365 posts)I am extremely flexible, so no big deal if they miss this weekend. I'll just have chicken scallopini more often than once this week.
I needed very much to re-org. Partly to help me plan a move back to civilization and partly to just find things here and be better organized.
I live on a ridge and windstorms really howl. I move to the back room and sleep on an air mattress when it does. It was nice to move back.
Beats me how I lost a pyrex baking dish I just had in my hands. It will show up.
Eventually.

(277 posts)Not only is it polluting but is so much better to compost them. Insects lay their eggs or nest in leaf debris.
I grew up with a family of burners and it makes me sad.
