I bought some liquid hand soap at Wal-Mart yesterday - they didn't have Softsoap, so I bought Lifebuoy which was the only liquid soap they had. Yecchhh! I don't like the smell at all, plus it's kind of watery. Serves me right.
mon, how are you?

Would it have been that difficult to make the project longer and patch the entire stretch between the two traffic lights? Especially this summer, when traffic along that stretch is way down because of the pandemic. :mad:
That sounds like road repair projects around here.

The sky was hazy today in Chicago from the fires on the west coast. I can't imagine how bad the air is there. Sending caring thoughts to my PT friends.
So sad and scary for everyone out there. At least more people have masks on hand these days, a small blessing in a scary situation.
Smoke from the wildfires almost cleared up in Vancouver B.C. It was terrible for a week or more. Hurray 🙂
Good news that the smoke is clearing up there, mon! How are things now?
We're sending along loads of loving good wishes and prayers and energies that these fires will be out soon.

Smokes all gone, thanks for asking. Wildfires are a sonovabeeeach for sure! My cuz is a retired fire chief from Richmond B.C. I'm pretty sure he has no clue how proud our whole family is of him. My Aunty died about a month ago, first time I cried was today. I guess it finally just sunk in. I'm not a huge fan of bawling and I can't seem to quit. That's probably why I should never start. Ouch!! The heart sure hurts, better get some fresh air. Bless all of ya, not my best day but I'm hoping you all are having a better one 🤜🏻🤛👍🏿😻
Hope all is well, any update?
I turned off Tuesday evening's debate after about 20 minutes. I couldn't follow it. So much talking. It reminded me of staff meetings I've been in where the agenda items are pretty broad and everyone has something to say. The discussion just keeps going in circles and nothing gets decided. So I turned it off. I do wonder who determines the topics and prepares the questions beforehand- is it the organization that's sponsoring the debates? Or the moderator? We'll see how the Vice-Presidential debate goes next week, I hope it will be more orderly than Tuesday night was. Yikes!Quote:

Might have helped had he put on a mask. Doing good here, thanks for asking 💕❤️ Sadly I must have shoulder replacement surgery. My broken arm just didn't heal right after the first 2 surgeries. Found this out yesterday, get a CT scan next week, go from there. Was upset at first but hell, what's the point. Gotta do what ya gotta do and move on right. That should be a long recovery, jeeeepers ☹️🙄 Never mind, sending best wishes and lotsa sunshine to you all🌈🎃👍🏿💕❤️
mon, how is your shoulder? I'm thinking of you and wondering how you're doing. Hugs!
My shoulder is hooped . I am not very pleased. Beautiful of you to ask, not sure when the surgery will be. Just got the MRI, CT scan on thurs. hope you are fine. I feel like poop. It's just fine, so many peeps going through so much worse. I don't want this surgery but guess I need it! I just want everyone to be okay, life is a bit weird lately eh. ❤️👍🏿
P.s How is every little wee thing with you sweetheart.. I am so scared that you or anyone else may feel really sad, depressed, things have not been easy. I burst into tears a lot for NO reason quite a bit but only when I'm alone. These are very stressful times indeed and I want everyone to feel loved. I sometimes feel really unloved and sad. I just know that another Thanksgiving, another Christmas may go by, all of us separated 👎🏿 The truth is, everyone can be together in spirit and ... I love my beautiful family know I love them.
Dear mon, we're sending loads of good wishes and warm healing energies. Here's hoping this surgery will bring you some relief from the pain. Please keep us posted.

Thanks so much for thinking of me ❤️ Wishing you and yours the very best too! I'll let you know when they book my surgery, can't be soon enough. I want it over with ASAP if it must be done, ewww, SO yucky 🤢😜 Group cyberhugs to all Pet Talk Peeps ❤️💕👍🏿
I think that no one wants to be a burden, be dependant, all physically screwed up. I hate it, even for a little while. It makes me realize how awsome people are that have physical challenges and how they adapt. I may be more crippled by my fear of being physically dependant than being physically dependent after surgery. Either way, that insight doesn't help me one measly bit. I am furious I have to get surgery, absolutely f ing furious.
It's like I'm stuck at 25'yrs. old in my head. Like not mentally, thank God but physically sort of. It's hard to explain, not sure if its good or bad. Oh, I'm sure this too shall pass, I'm 57, women in our family generally live well into their 90's. Life is quite the experience eh 😻👍🏿😸🤜🏻🤛😁😜.
To mon: ((((hugs))))
I'm so ready for the election to be over. It's been very divisive. As we get closer to election day it seems to get worse. And Illinois COVID cases are trending upward again. I was really hoping it would be done and over with by now. No such luck. It's no use for me to worry about either of these things I can't control, though.
On a more positive note, there are a few trees around here beautifully showing their fall colors. I'll try to get some photos with my phone.
Thanks, I caught that hug cassiesmom! I am so sorry the covid is not dying out where you are at, it's getting worse here in British Columbia too. We wear masks everywhere. My husband is an essential worker and hasn't skipped a beat in that department. He repairs heavy machinery so he isn't around a lot of people at his job sites and wears a mask always. I stay home and only grocery shop once a week, never go out or have company other than twice in months. The fall colours are more beautiful than ever this year, it is an artists wildest dream! This pandemic has taken a heavy toll on most people and I'm not sure that if and when it ends we will have learned a profound lesson or not. I guess life is what we make it and this covid crap was not a welcome guest. I have tried to be kinder and more understanding of strangers and more grateful for the loved ones in my life and the blessings I have. I am still grieving the loss of a loved one and I cannot imagine passing judgement on someone who is doing the same. It is impossible to know what other people are going through so the only way to go is kindness. Also, selfishly I realize that helping others only makes me feel better too so it's a "win win" situation, right girlfriend!? 👍🏿🤜🏻🤛🌹🤜🏻🤛💕❤️😻😻😻
Who's gonna win the election folks? My bet is on Trump. First of all, he lied to the rednecks and told them Biden was gonna take away their guns 😯 Second of all, he will be charged with tax evasion if he loses so he will refuse to accept the results even if he loses. C'mon, everyone is thinking it, just no ones saying it 😸😹🤢😈👹☠️💀👻🎃 Happy post Halloween!
I'm afraid Biden will win and Trump will refuse to accept the results. And his thugs will riot, with his (unstated) blessing.
That's the spirit! Totally possible, anyone else care to share? Please!! Times running out 😻😁😍
I'm afraid that if Trump wins, his behavior will get even more unpredictable and erratic, as if to say "I'll show you." Illinois is not a battleground state - we're mostly Democratic and I expect Biden will win easily here.
I'm impressed - as I always am - by the fact that I can show up at the polling place, cast a ballot for whoever I like, maybe say hello to a neighbor or two, and then I'm free to go. The process works time and again, even though the participants and the outcomes change.
It's in the 60s F in Chicago this week! I like it! And it is supposed to be mild through Saturday, which means I'll get just a little longer to enjoy it.
So glad the election has been decided, praying for a peaceful transition of power. And the country pulling together - not apart - moving forward.
Well just keep on praying, such a special time!
Oatmeal in my tummy
Dogs and cats fed
Frosty morning sparkles outside
I'm going back to bed!

I'm really frustrated by the large number of people in my building who think the posted notice about wearing a mask in the elevator doesn't apply to them. There are no consequences if they don't comply. There is also a strong sense of misogyny- it is a cultural thing. Sorry, people- I'm a nurse, so I'm going to call you out for not masking and I may or may not be too polite about it. The number of COVID-19 patients in the hospital where I work has gone steadily upward for about the past 3 weeks. Maybe a little longer. We also have more patients in the hospital in general. I've also heard rumors about scheduled procedures being cancelled again. We're back to strictly no visitors except for obstetrics. I know people are "pandemic weary", but it bugs me that my neighbors are letting their guard down. Not that it was ever up that high around here in the first place.
Thank you for letting me rant,
Elyse
Good grief, that's horrible, Elyse! How thoughtless, and how ignorant, of these alleged-neighbors. Can you complain to the management, and if so, would they do anything?
How many floors up is your place? Too many to consider taking the stairs instead, I assume? Especially if you're coming home with a bag of groceries or something.
I hope something can be done to get these jerks to comply.
:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:
So sorry to hear that! That is definately the last thing you need! I have no clue why people do shit like that. I guess some folks don't care about themselves or others, or there are those that think covid is big lie. Can you actually beleive that some people think there is no such thing as Covid?? I wish you safety, and I suppose you have to wait for the next elevator, hope they don't breath covid germs all over, or take the stairs. I do get the possibility that complaining can lead to even more problems sometimes. I sure hope that's not the case and that these people will change their ways. They are jerks. Well...... they certainly are. Wishing you the best ❤️💕👍🏿🤷🏾♀️😸🐶
I'm on the third floor. There are six sets of 8 stairs each with a landing in between. Going down is harder than going up, not that either way is especially easy. Our custodian cleans the elevator once a week- which consists of sweeping the floor and taking a quick swipe at the buttons with a wet rag. I'm just really tired of pleading with my neighbors to do this simple thing. There are a few residents in the building who have serious health conditions and it's them I am most concerned for. It's been brought up to management and they have said that they can't force people to comply. It just makes me really mad.Quote:
