Our meeting on Saturday at Smelena's house. You might think that is me on the left but I actually look like Merryl Streep. Beside me is Smelena, Sleepy Dragon and Liam, Smelena's youngest son

whew! sounds really involved.

I'll let you know how it goes

Merle


it rained, but that is a no brainer. . .it is OREGON, in the North West Pacific RAINFOREST. And the half dollar sized snow flakes, well, those melted pretty quickly caus the ground is warmer than freezing, but the HAIL! so thick on the range we had to pull over cause we couldn't see the little cones we were serpentining around.
I have so much respect for myself, I lasted the 4 hours on the range and three more shivering in wet clothes and boots in the unheated classroom doing lecture and course work.
Best thing I did was find a ride home in a beautiful Buick with heated seats! mmmmmm. . .
and I do it all again tomorrow.

I got a method in my madness, too. :wink:

Merle

Yes, Merle, what woud make me alive again, is to be able to afford to get a canoe, a little camping gear, take my two retrievers and go to the Boundary Waters. No money, cannot do. Therefore,

That isn't a picture of Merle Streep, Angelica Huston, Kathleen Turner and young Brad Pitt??? I'm confused, again.

You now have a one in sixteen of guessing which are, and which aren't.

And what's this about growing up?

I don' wanna! I don' wanna! I won't!

well, if things get too bad we can forgo our internet conections for foodand rent out or sell our computers for that last hydrocodone!

Things are too bad. I'm at the library. I need $2000 a month to live and my SSDI is $783. Rent is $825. Where do I cut back? Can't afford a car to live in, either. This is the cheapest place I could find.


In the interest of being accurate with advice, why do you need $2,000 a month to live on? Can you not rent a room in someone's house? Even in Southern California, where rents are astronomical, a single room in a house with kitchen privls. can go for as little as $500 a month. There are also programs that pair elderly with rooms with persons who need a place to live. In exchange for reduced rent, the roomer helps with chores.... Sorry, just trying to understand your situation.

If I wanted to sit in a subsidized elderly housing and spend my life filling out government paperwork in order to get food, housing, wait endlessly for rides to the doctor, pharmacy, be dependent on folks, in order to get old and die, and have little freedoms, yes, I could live on $783 mo. But to me, that is a fate, WORSE than death. To most people it isn't. It is horrifying to me.

Snow in Oregon this late in the season, yikes! Then again, depending on the elevation.... Glad you scored a comfortable ride home, Merle.

And Sam, isn't playing with little kids just the most joyful and life-affirming activity ever invented? Nothing is so hilarious to a small child than an adult making a complete goose of him/herself. It's so much fun being auntie or uncle, getting the little ones all gee'd up and shrieking with excitement, then handing them back to their grateful parents, heh! It's only afterward, when everything has quietened down, that you realise how exhausted you are.


Or before, when the child makes you run out of breath chasing them.

I like your style, Chesapeaker. You see details that others don't. Only Sleepy Dragon is the aspie, although there were 5 out of 11 aspies there- 3 of them children
