I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done.
I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them.
I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC.
I'm very concerned that more experienced people are being replaced in every dynamic of our society and that more and more incidents will occur. I'm at a loss as to why neither of their radar detected the other's presence. And how much the radio chatter was a distraction.
I am very sorry for all involved, their lives were taken too soon.
As I write a response to you a private medical transport plane crashed in Philadelphia Friday evening. The first responders are dealing with a fire as the result of the crash. Did you know there was a small plane crash last week in California and another one in Nevada.
My family buried secrets. I'll never know the answers to at least two events that apparently traumatized me as a child. I'm still bitter about that. Yes, I know I should let go; but, they colored my life for most of it.
It's hard for me to pick a favorite, too, but I also like and remember Robert Frost's "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening." That's the one I decided to memorize to recite to the class back in grade school. It still often pops in my mind. I think it's the easy rhythm and rhyme and the great description so well woven in. The only favorite book I remember is from way back also, "The Little Airplane." Maybe these are because I'm still a kid, even though seven decades later.
my phone does it all but I am constantly frustrated with the amount of text messages I received during the election and now with Christmas approaching. I'm spending too much time blocking numbers and reporting them as spam.
Talk Tuesdays: Tell us about the last person you disagreed with. The person AND the disagreement.
This one will get me in trouble
I'm pretty much alone here unless one of the children stop by. Keith is here when he isn't at work or out on an errand. Keith and I have a reputation for loud, evil disagreements. Over the years that has calmed down some. My side of the story = Keith has a problem with dishwashers. He broke the first one I had years ago. I did not get another one for many years.
Now, I have had a working dishwasher for so many years I don't remember when we bought this one. There is a commercial on TV where a little girl says her mother washes the dishes before she puts them in the dish washer so "What does the dishwasher do?" The commercial is for Cascade Platinum Dish Washer Soap.
I don't use Cascade Platinum Dish Washer Detergent. And, I don't wash the dishes by hand before I put them in the dishwasher that is a whole different scene. I do rinse dishes before I put them in the dish washer then I put them through a rinse cycle then I run them through a wash cycle. We live in a rural area. Our water comes from a well. We always have had mild water pressure issues for any machine. Plus, running food particles of any size is not good for the machine. We have a septic system not city sewage.
Because of this little girl Keith now thinks I should be washing dishes by hand. That isn't going to happen. I'm not the maid. As long as there is a way to own a dishwasher I'm going to use it. K and I disagree about almost everything. One of the things we always disagreed about is whether anyone else in the house should wash dishes besides me. Until the dishwasher came along I washed all the dishes. Now, I can do something else while the dishes get squeaky clean. I'm not going to get any deeper into this kind of blog. No sense in raising the roof while it's still attached.
I should take a poll of how many women caught a back lash from this commercial.
Yay! For machines that do the work so I can do other important work.!!
