Now...... Back to the topic of this thread.....

Does anyone else ever sit in your car for a few minutes and watch people around you? I do that occasionally at Walmart and Kroger. I think I probably started really watching people years ago when I lost a loved one. I remember sitting at a traffic light, looking around and thinking....."Does anyone know how sad I am right now? I wonder if any of these other people have recently lost a loved one." It was at that exact moment that I made a vow to myself to always really look at people to see if they look happy or sad and wonder what they might be going thru, what kind of pain they might be in. Perhaps they just got wonderful news or perhaps they just got a call from the doctor's office and they're currently in a state of fear. Watching people is interesting.

I see the middle age adults doing it too, and older. I notice no gas stations have a pay phone anymore. I think at least a gas station needs to have a pay-phone for emergencies if a car breaks down or something.

Gas Stations
Hospitals
Any public place needs to have a phone for emergencies.

Not everyone has a cell, phone. And their batteries run out, or there is no signal.

They do have phones inside so I guess if it was a true emergency they would let a person use the phone.

I tried to use a convenience store phone once, to call 911 to report bunch of logs in the middle of a road, so their would be no accidents. They didn't let me use their phone to report this emergency.

Why would one need a pay phone in a Hospital - They have free WIFI, and there are phones available to utilize for anyone not owning a cell-phone.
Gas Stations, I agree..

Are these phones easily asscesible in the hospitals?  They need to have phones in the lobbies. Not everyone has wifi, alot of the elders don't even knoe what that is.

Probably very old fashioned and not keen on change, I suspect. Besides, I think that public WiFi is not nearly as safe as your own with so many hackers about, so I stay on the tower even when I’m in a hospital.
It pays to have unlimited data. 😁

Yes, Jackie they are available in most Hospitals that I know of.
So, not to worry..
If you're having an emergency and may require any immediate assistance, I will most graciously tend to your call, perhaps, tomorrow..

Does anyone else remember the old wooden box wall phones? It had a hand crank which you turned to make a call by making several long turns or short turns depending on the phone number. It was a party line where several other neighbors were included. You had to listen to the number and lengths of rings to see if the call was for you... if not it was for someone else on the party line. Anyone on the party line could pick up and listen in on any conversation. Remember or am I just old?

We didn't have that kind of phone but did have a party line with my grandparents. We finally got my dad to get rid of the party line because my grandmother would listen in on my conversations.  We broke her of that when my boyfriend at the time and I talked about having sex. We didn't but it broke her of listening in on our conversations  and my mom loved it. She helped me come up with it. Hahahaha

We had a sump pump in the basement. One summer I went down to the creek... and I cought around a dozen garder snakes. I brought them all home and set up the perfect home for them in the basement in an aquariam. I loved my snakes.


Then Mom approached me one day and said that the snakes had all escaped and slithered out the sump pump and out the drain. I think she was telling me a story just to get rid of my snakes.

Saw this guy at Walmart awhile back who was wearing his hair in pigtails one on each side of his head... one was dyed pink and the other blue... I think he was wearing a Scottish kilt too. Then today we went to Steak & Shake and saw a woman sitting there the whole time... but when she got up to leave I saw she was the same pigtail guy from Walmart. Very interesting person.

My great grandmother had a party line, it wasn't a wooden box wall phone, but a black phone. Now a days people can still listen to phone conversation using the air, especially surrounding neighbors, I never could but I heard this is possible. Also tech savy people can hack any phone.

Mayonnaise is mayonnaise.  Lol, do you know that all those mayonnaise's, mustards and other condiments are basically made in the same factory. They just slap different names on them.
LOL while that may be true of many grocery items, and true Hellmann's is also marketed under Best Buy brand out West, but Kraft Miracle Whip is much different in taste. I prefer Hellmann's, but I think it all depends on what we are raised on. I still can't decide which catchup is better? I am pretty sure judging by my taste test that Kroger brand peanut but is actually Jiff.

I do agree that in some recipes if it calls for a certain brand, I go with that brand. All peanut butter taste the same to me. Lol.

Anyone else ever had a bath in a cast iron enamle bath tub with claw feet? It is highly overated. I had to wait 35 years to live in a house that had a shower. After that first shower I swore I would never take a bath again... and I have not. I shower.

I like either. But a shower is so much better.
Yeah, my great uncle had an old cast iron tub with clawed feet and that thing was so heavy when we finally took it out of the house to remodel the bathroom, but there wasn’t anything like them.

My brother quit cold turkey over 25 years ago. That is one habit that I never did because I knew what was put on tobacco due to my parents raising it. Tobacco did pay for my college education.

It is so much fun to watch them all from our campsite. At home we have everything visit us, but the chipmunks are reclusive.

You do what you feel is best, of course. And if you’ve stopped drinking then you’ve still accomplished much more than many I know who are totally unwilling to quit drinking and some of them has lost so much because of being fired from their jobs.
So you’re doing well in my opinion. 🙂

It’s hard to quit, very hard. But I am proving to myself that I can accomplish this..though it’s been a slow progression. 🙂

Thats a good idea, I think the rule of thumb is no food 3  or 5 hours before bedtime. I eat cabbage soup on those days Ihave a stong urge to eat. , the more you eat the more you lose.

I don't have the recipe handy, but its just cabbage peices with green pepper, onion, onion soup pack for flavor, a couple cans of whole or diced tomatoes, big cans, add all in a big pot, fill with water to top, heat half hour ro an hour.

That recipie sounds like a real keeper!  Something else I think is important is to regularly take a good multi vitamin & minera. When the body has a deficiency in some vitamins or minerals the body will keep sending hunger signals until the body gets what it needs... this is the reason for binges many times. Unfortunatly, the body doesn't tell us specifically what it needs... it just makes us hungry and sends cravings.

They specialize in glands, metabolism, hormones, thyroid, blood sugars, and similar. People with Diabetes, thyroid problems, and metabolism problems usually consult with this specialist. Weight control can have many causes and factors involved that only a specialist can diagnose.

Sorry, I don't mean to advise like I know anyting, but my past years work history in patient case management with Registered Nurses and Doctors I soaked up everything like a sponge.

Yes. When I was younger I thought I knew what love was. Looking back I was all so wrong about knowing what it was until I met her.

Tragic Plot Twist: She ended up dying at 38 and I haven't been with anyone since.

I've notice I do these things also. I can't sit still knowing there is a light on someplace. And I religiously move the mats on the dining room table They have to be exactly even and spaced properly. Oddly, it's the only thing I obsess over with perfection like that with.

I did that for awhile, and just toss them in a drawer now, since they are all white anyway, I'm not much of a sock person. But rolling the pairs of socks is a good ide, thinking about this, I may start rolling them again. Underwaer actually lats longer if you have a bunch of them, like 2- 3 months worth, this way I don't wear them out by washing them.

They say not to roll your socks as it wears the elastic out. I have found a great freedom in not rolling and folding socks and such... I just open the droor and throw it all in, then simply pick out what I need each day. All my socks are matching black so no mater. Such freedom! Ahhh!

I guess rolling the socks could wear the elastic out, but mine don't have elastic so no matter. Anyway hope your day is good.

Since I have 2-3 months worth, I wash my underware eery 2-3 months, I hate the washroom set up here, so try to find ways not to use the washer/dryer as much as possible. Ususally I end up doing at least 4 loads at once. 2 dark full loads and 2 white.

How often do you wash your socks and underware? As I said I can go about every 2- months. Now if I had a nice laundrey room, or at least in an organized garage, I would let the wash pile up and go atleast once a month. Do you have a tidy laundry area?

My above post explains I have a supply of underwear for about 2- months worth, so that's why I don't wash my underwear for about 2-3 months. I hate my laundry area, but I guess its better than going to the laundry mat. I fear of bedbugs in those machines.

I enjoy bypassing the interstate in places that is possible, sometimes gotta jump back on it for a stretch. I-81 in Virginia comes to mind, I use US 11 a lot there is more to see. I do not mind the traffic lights and speed limits myself but will jump on interstate to duck a bottleneck and get back on a rural part....

Seth Abramson tweets a reply to Axelrod:

"I think the key point here is that when you tweet things like this, you relinquish permanently the right to bemoan Americans' cynicism with respect to government. You've given up before the fight has even begun—and worse, want people to follow you into cynicism."
