Your body will probably suggest that you take a nap at some
point during the day now. Go for it!

I was up at 4 this morning, while I was asleep I thought I heard the
old broken doorbell ring, then I wondered if it was a dream or if I actually heard it. But I didn't feel like getting up to go look. And if
it was real important they would have knocked on the door.
Glad to know I am not the only person that hits the grocery store early
on Sunday morning. Seems like the best time to go to avoid most
peoples. Except I can't buy beer on Sundays till after 12 noon.

My neighbors and their "two minute friends" are what is keeping me up.
I think I may need to start capturing license plate numbers and giving them to someone I know that can help.
I generally do not like going on Sunday myself, much prefering Saturday morning (even less people). However, I am at the mercy of my ride
since bus service is nearly non-existant after 6 PM weekdays or on weekends at all.

No beer? What's the point of even leaving the house? ;-)
LOL, I am really lucky in my complex that most of the neighbors seem to
be quiet types. All 48 units are 1 bedrooms, so mostly single people
ages 20-70. I want to get a 2 bedroom somewhere, but not sure if I am
ready to deal with noisy neighbors.
I'll have to get Saturday a try, then I woule be able to pickup my beer too, but it takes me 3 months to drink a 6 pack, so don't often need to
get it.
SEAN DENNIS wrote to KEVIN NUNN <=-
Usually everyone is too hung over or outside to care about shopping.
Though I am not an early riser normally, I will make an exception to be
able to shop in peace. Besides, since a lot of stores in my area
either have one day set aside or everyday at an early time for "seniors and vunerable people" to shop in peace so once I get a car, I will
start doing that.
As I have aged, I have started to have panic attacks in crowds (I found out only recently that panic attacks run in my mother's side of my
family; nice to know after twenty years of suffering with them) so I
try very hard to avoid crowds these days.

I went through last summer with an A/C that would lose all of it's refrigerant within a day or so of being charged. Was going to have it fixed before this summer, but then I ended up selling that car and
buying another one (which the A/C works VERY WELL in.)
I work overnight, but lately it's been plenty hot during the drive to
work and home again after work.
Autumn is fine until rains start. Then the pastures get flooded and
they are stuck in the barn for longer.

The problem I have around here is that whatever rains takes long to disappear, so if an area gets covered in water it takes ages for it to evaporate. For a pasture area, it means the place is unusable for quite
a while. You cannot take
the horses to wet pasture because they stomp the grass into
a mush and ruin it,
so even if it is no longer flooded, as long as the soil is too wet, it
is a no go.
Since my "new" truck doesn't have A/C, autumn means I can be outside driving at 1 PM and not be dying of heat exhaustion!

Yikes! Gotta get one of those retrofit A/C kits :P
I put one in my 68 Mustang and it makes driving on hot days
much more bearable. However, I need to tear out the
interior and put some insulation layers down, the heat
coming from the transmission and exhaust still turns the
car into an oven.

It sounds like the sort of place where grass grows really tall so foals get to grow big and strong playing silly foal games.
I believe most of Kentucky is in the same climate classification but yes, horses do like it here I'd suppose.

Haven't been sick all year and now I caught either a chest cold or bronchitis. Just in time for Thanksgiving...
Kurt Weiske wrote to Sean Dennis <=-
Sorry to hear that - I just got over bronchitis, spent a good 4 weeks
with a nagging cough. This afternoon, started getting a scratchy
throat. Crap.
My mom is 86, we always try and quarantine around her if we have any symptoms near the holidays. She broke her hip and elbow and is in a
rehab facility now, we're looking into assisted living for her when she gets out. Luckily for her, everyone is masking at the facility. Fingers crossed that she stays healthy.
It's a chest cold turning into bronchitis. Nothing new for me but
definitely not something I like.
At that age, even a cold can be bad news. Hope she continues to do better. Assisted living might be a good option. It helped my late paternal grandmother live a good life until she passed at the age of 99.

Of course the doughnut has to be made with Whole Wheat Flour, doesn't

I was at Walmart the other day and they already are setting
up Valentine's Day candy and goods. Everything is just so
damn commercialized these days.

I worked in retail in the late 1980s (Target). Seems like we took a
break between most holidays, although we did always seem to start the
mix of Thanksgiving and Christmas right after Halloween stuff was put away.
OTOH, Valentines is just over a month away so I am guessing we'd have
been putting stuff out for it soonish after Christmas return season was over.

That I can understand but when the next holiday is seven weeks away...I have worked in retail a lot, including Target in the early 2000s an Walmart several times from 1998-2005, and while I understand the need to get stuff out quickly, it must be me about rushing things.
Hi everyone,

Yeah, too soon!
No, I think you are right. They do seem to rush things out sooner than
they used to. If they were allowed to sell fireworks, they'd probably have them out as soon as Easter was over. ;)

That's something I didn't think about amd a very valid point.
I remember when you worked for said supermarket chain! That was a
long time ago.

Me thinks the ships on the West Coast get goods really early and then have to send them out to the stores before the next fleet of ships arrive.

That is something realistic. XD People would be blowing themselves up in a hurry!
