We've had the heat on since returning home Thursday night!!! I even went into the attic and got our winter comforter for the bed. Today is much better, still congested, I can occasionally breathe thru my nose. I was on the phone with my SIL and started to lose my voice. No sore throat so don't know why that was happening. Just watched ambulance take one of my elderly neighbors away. He has had a lot of medical issues this year and his Wife told one of the other neighbors he is just too much for her to care for. Sad to hear that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I hear "Chances Are" I am transported back to my early teens, dancing with BOYS! I never cared for Bennett until years later. His songs with Lady GaGa are exceptional. There will always be only one Sinatra. Awhile back someone complained in here when we had song/music chat so we better move on 😏 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted October 18, 2022 #74882 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I have really been having trouble keeping up with this thread and the LIVEs. Today was a day for errands. Lunch today. It was cloudy, windy, and a temperature that said feels like 31°, so it was hard to get motivated to go out for a walk. But we did, and saw this.

I'm sure my in bin at work will be full so I plan on staying in my office and work on the computer all day tomorrow with lots of caffeine. Sorry you’re still tiring so easily. Do you have any other symptoms? You’ll probably be very tired when you get home tomorrow night, but it sounds like you have a good caretaker! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had ours done at AAA yesterday because no charge as members. The photographer said she’d have to retake mine because I smiled. I said it would be fine. That a natural smile is ok. She said no, you can’t show your teeth. I thanked her and we left for the Post Office. The clerk at the Passport window said my photo needed to be retaken because my teeth were showing. I repeated that it’s ok. So she packed everything up and took my credit card. Got home and Dick said I was nuts to insist it was ok, when two people whose job entails passport applications tried to warn me. So he Googled it. Evidently the State Dept didn’t get the word out except on their website. I hope whoever processes our renewals has been told a natural smile that doesn’t change the face is acceptable. The website even has example photos! I wish I’d known this when we renewed ours recently. I look scary! Even worse than my driver’s license photo and I didn’t think that was possible. At least my two form of ID are consistent! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came in here to whine and complain about the awful Chinese food lunch we have and here is yours looking a lot better than ours. I don't care for buffet at all but Jack loves it so we went to his favorite buffet. No shrimp hot dishes at all, just cold with cocktail sauce. Wantons in the soup were so overcooked they had the consistency of sponges. No chewing necessary. They sort of melted once in my mouth. Spare ribs looked meaty and delicious but they were dry as toast. I won't go on and on because you get the picture. It was the 1st time we were there since the world broke in 2020 and apparently it will be the last. Mid 60s today, sunny and totally delightful. Thursday we're back to mid 80s. My laptop mouse is less than a year old and I keep losing the pointer. Luckily this laptop has a touch screen. Enjoying all the Live and Near Live reports. Carry on. I keep losing my mouse pointer. Very frustrating but thankfully, I have a touch sch 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that you will be leaving your current house, but I think you'll love it here. We were just saying how nice it is to return from a vacation to a place where it feels like you're on vacation all the time. 😁 I suppose that retirement also plays into that sensation of vacation at home? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set up humidifier with new filter for the bedroom tonight. We turned our heat on a few days ago just to make sure it all turned on as needed. Supposed to go to low 40s tonight, that is quite cool here. Still hoping to only use the electric fireplace if needed but like knowing the heat is there if we need it. Future casts showing back in 60s and 70s next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a gas fireplace in the family room helps a lot for the main living areas. I actually prefer a cold bedroom for sleeping. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
