Clear mobile broadband
I started out with a Sprint mobile broadband. Liked it, till I got the bill. They were charging me for data excess! Finally switched to Clear. There’s a tower a block behind me and usually I g...
apartment living
NYC promotes itself as “the city that never sleeps” - many young people from around the country… yes, from around the world… come here expecting that to be true. I’ve had MAJOR issues with upstai...
Is thank you out of style?
A few months ago, I had been chatting with the vet tech at the office where I brought the cat. We started talking about books. I offered him one, then we started talking about his other interes...
So BEYOND pissed
I am comfortable at HOME, in my neighborhood, and to a lesser extent to areas further away. Yesterday I went to another STATE for a Meet-Up that looked promising. I have found over the years tha...
Why is it?
The older a person gets, and the less one wants to DO, the more one has to do in terms of figuring out medical insurance, doctors, hospitals, bills, etc? I figured it was time to start going to d...
Lucy
An odd movie with Morgan Freeman and Scarlett Johansson (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2872732/). Science, science fiction, thriller, gangs, drugs, weird.
A question:
For those who date - men and women: If you have an absolutely WONDERFUL first date.... great communication, great “chemistry”, so MUCH to talk about, find the other interesting, appealing… Why NO...
maybe something's working
I’ve had diabetes for about 12 years now… My numbers go up and down. Yesterday my morning sugar was at 168. This morning, even though my weight is up, my blood sugar was at 140. With all I ate,...
It was bound to happen
I got to the airport last night to discover there was NO reservation for me. NOTHING!!! One of the gentlemen was able to help me and got me a seat - it helped that the flight I took was NOT ful...
dilemma
There’s a man I met on Facebook.... Actually we were both arguing with the same annoying person, so “friended” each other. I’ve “known” him for about a year.I I agree with EVERYTHING he posts -...
Pet peeve - weird commercials
For an electric car - if you plug it in at night, you have a full TANK in the morning - TANK??? Really. Filled with what? Electrons? A woman using a computer uses 100% of her DAY on the compute...
change of address
Since I come to San Diego every three months or so… for three weeks… there’s LOTS of year left when I am not available to pick up my mail. A neighbor has been taking care of this chore for me for...
the voices again
For many decades, I’ve heard voices. They are usually surprising and of no consequence - as if I passed someone on the street and heard a snippet of conversation. Just now: “down to their COSTL...
They're baaaaack
In getting rid of ants near the front of the apartment and in the bathroom, ha, I thought I was done. I went to do the dishes and they’d taken over the kitchen counter near the sink!!! I went an...
Oh NOOOO!
I just noticed the tiniest ants in the bathroom! I looked up “natural pest control” solutions. I tried mopping with a 50% solution of vinegar. Will it work? I’ll find out. I have to douse the...
If
If someone you know feels safe enough and trusted enough to share some ideas... and if you find these ideas horrible and offensive and hard to believe... what do you do. After saying, NO, I do n...
a dilemma
I belong to a group in facebook. I was asked to join by the person who leads the group as we met in farmville (a game). She felt I was accepting and non-judgmental. That's true to a point. Th...
frustrated
I usually go to the movies with my movie buddy. He worked last Thursday, but by the time he left, got to the gas station to fill up the tank, then got to pick me up... it was too late for any of...
Hiroshima Day
In 1945, on this day, the USA dropped the first atomic bomb ever used on the city of Hiroshima. Three days later, a different kind of atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. We want no other count...
twice in a month!
The elevator has been out of service for a few days!!! This time was 3 1/2 days... I am SO glad I had done some food shopping on Thursday (and keep some pantry items). From Friday morning to mi...
petless
For the first time in 40 years there is no companion animal in the house. It feels really weird! Nothing to listen to/for; nothing to trip over; nothing to worry about or clean up after. Weird...
cat
He's 14 years old and is very sick. I am sure the vet will be taking a large chunk of my recent earnings. He has fluid in his lungs, and enlarged kidneys. Maybe it's all from the hyperthyroidism...
Prices vary
This is true especially for food. Sometimes just "lunch" - yesterday's was $30 give or take... and yes, I had dessert and the main course also served as dinner. Today was $4.50! And yes, yeste...
Touristy NYC
This is just a warning to visitors: if you stay in the tourist areas of NYC, it will be EXPENSIVE. Not only the hotels, but the food, the "shopping on the street" (and NO none of that stuff is ...
on the subway
1 - a woman with a tattoo = tough chick her tattoo was a unicorn with a garland of flowers = not so tough 2 - riding a crowded train with my back to a TALL man. How tall? My head rested o...
Book Description
This is a place to whine and complain. If that’s not what you want to read, you get to skip it, gloss over it, whatever.
I like this idea of “books”.
