*hugs Kam* Good evening, dear one! How was your day? And how are you and Michael doing today?
1:29 am
Kamanjah
His birthday today, so another nice steak dinner!
1:30 am
sprite
oh wow! *Happy birthday to your beloved!* I hope you celebrated well.
1:31 am
Kamanjah
Weird having b-days a week apart - this year he remembered mine, yay! We just hung out and watched the Dodgers lose the World Series :(
1:32 am
sprite
the hanging out part sounds good. And glad he remembered your birthday. For next year, he should plan something fun for the two of you.
1:34 am
Kamanjah
We usually go out, but we're so tired of local food - we cook much tastier food at home! Small towns have their drawbacks at times. We usually do something, but my body hasn't been up to much more than dealing with daily living lately...
1:35 am
sprite
then, staying home and hanging out together is just the ticket :)
1:37 am
sprite
and again. Sorry, seems my fingers aren't fully awake yet
1:37 am
Kamanjah
Time for coffee?!
1:38 am
sprite
it is. But Rob is off to work, and the logistics for making coffee myself in the early morning are not easy. First must take meds, wait for them to work, then navigate stairs.
1:40 am
Kamanjah
timing things can be a pain...literally...I'm waiting for the midnight chime for my meds so they can kick in by the time I hit the bed. I hate stairs, and will never live in another place with stairs! Last time was 1980, never again.
1:40 am
Kamanjah
sending a virtual cuppa Joe to Sprite
1:41 am
sprite
our trailer will not have stairs, and our tiny house only one to the loft/study. Sleeping on the ground floor!
1:41 am
sprite
yummmm that is a good cuppa
1:48 am
sprite
one of the many reasons we are downsizing. No more navigating stairs when in pain. Both Rob and I are so ready for that.
1:50 am
Kamanjah
Can't imagine stairs for Michael - he had a lousy knee replacement a few years back, and can't do stairs at all...so glad we don't have to deal with them.
Are you ok?
1:51 am
sprite
I am fine :) Bit tense, of course... hoping that today the realtor will call us and say to sit down because he got a stunning offer for our house :D
1:55 am
Kamanjah
Glad you're fine! Waiting on an offer is no fun. We're half talking about getting out of California if the election doesn't help the current "climate."
1:55 am
Kamanjah
We were both born and raised here...
1:56 am
sprite
ah man, that is a really tough thing, having to move because of politics... ugh :(
1:57 am
Kamanjah
The taxes here have gone crazy, and I had no idea what ads were on the TV until we started watching the Series...people are saying bridges are going to collapse if we repeal a gas tax...just makes me roll my eyes - those taxes were for public transportation, not road repair!
1:58 am
sprite
people often talk without having the slightest idea what about :(
1:58 am
Kamanjah
I hate election cycles! Everyone lies it seems
1:59 am
sprite
politicians = professional liars. Sorry, cannot see it any other way. Telling the stories they think will get them elected, then go around and do something very different the moment they are in power.
2:04 am
Kamanjah
Our local elections are the most important to me - county level...we're not in a city, and have a chance to get two new supervisors and keep a good sheriff, and the polls look good...won't know until after the election though. The biggie is Calif governor, and I'll leave that there...the man that wins will 'do his thing'

6:55 am

6:57 am

6:57 am

6:57 am

Hence, my feeling that there is a goofy word theme going on

No, that is a VERY low HR.

Is she extremely thin? Not eating much at all? How old is she?
8:46 am
bichon
11. They live in NC. I got the story from her gma
8:47 am
Scrabbler
Depression could cause lack of eating. Extreme anorexia can cause dysrhythmias. Is she hospitalized?
8:49 am

Currently, yes. I don't know when she is going home. Father is toxic to her.

i am going to vote, but, if I am being honest, i have lost confidence in the process. It is beyond tainted now. The RNC is dropping voters of the polls in the thousands.

I've been reading the chat -- don't understand how people can be removed from the registered voters list - do you have to reregister before every election? or do lists conveniently get lost?
12:37 pm
cybernan
good article welki
12:41 pm
Trifioso
voters get removed for moving to a new town, change in name or civilian status - or, recently, for being black in a state where a black person is running :(
12:42 pm
Trifioso
or, for being democrats, when the republicans are afraid of (justly) losing their seats. Perhaps if the actually represented the people they were elected to, instead of lining their own pockets, they would have less to worry about
12:44 pm
cybernan
but who removes the names? aren't voting lists scrutinized? If your name is on the tax roll, how can it be removed from the voters list?
12:47 pm
cybernan
if the government in power can get away with rigging the voters list, then I'd say you have a dictatorship.
12:52 pm
Trifioso
and you would be right. these people did not ASK to be taken off the lists - they were purged without their consent. Republicans. cheat. to. win.

Fine from what I hear. We decided to give up regular whale watching this year - for a number of reasons and now it looks as though the company we used has gone bust sometime during the season. We did see some good whales from the foreshore, when we were out walking, quite close in too.

It's only a cup of almond milk - the main flavour is tomato, pepper (capsicum) and garlic.
