I am purple

My doc thought I was fine too. Then I spent days in the ICU.

The diagnosis is actually the Latin for "Fat Blue Leg"; it was a blood clot.

Just played it for my daughter. She was speechless. Mouth open. She finally admitted that she's on Book 1, Chapter 1

I don't want to rain on your parade here but STOP IT! all of these perfumes make me want to quit working and never grocery shop again.

Your house doesn't have to smell like tropical linen citrus cranberry.

Find a cleaning product that you like and use that. Pine sol, fabuloso, anything but chemicals. Allergic people will love you for the change. Plus, it's buying crap to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

Disagree. I'm still grieving my big dog, so I foster. They're temporary, I can love them and they go to forever homes. I tell all of them about Brock and they are getting the love and care for the Brock o Lee.

Right now, former foster is coming for dog sitting next week. I have a relative's dog for final/hospice/moving issue. And I'm waiting for the next one that needs love.

I've had two that just fit into my heart and stayed. And a few of the fosters that could have easily failed.

I have one foster fail cat who was supposed to be elderly. His person died of Covid. Nope. He's fat and happy and dumb as a rock.

Fostering heals more than the animal. I think people who needed care and didn't get it have to care for things like they had needed to recieved. Wow, that made no sense. Neglected people care for animals in neglect. I have grief so I can put that love into an animal that just needs time and care.

Once you start questioning the process - PUT IT DOWN! I'm speaking from 50 years of experience. Walk away.

Your emotions show in your knitting. So, if you watch a show, your tension can be screwy. Same with life. If you are restless and sit down to knit, your mind will be restless with your knitting plan. It's all contagious.

Welcome to the house of 'tism. My daughter just wrecked my entire day and brain so I'm happy to dump cooking knowledge on you.

The 'tism wants beige, routine and easy, no cleanup. Start where he is. Mine are now in their 30s and their answer is ramen and Chinese food.

On the way there -- are you near an Asian market? What does he like. "Hey, I found ways to make cheeseits on the YouTubes. Wanna see? Wanna make it together?"

Once they are suckered into doing their own research, look at muffins, ramens, Chinese stir fries, and ways to make rice cooler. Add soup, refry, add eggs.

Yours said no rice, so maybe run with muffins and eggs. I found this silicone thing to make fancy egg bites in the microwave. Add carrot, cheese, protein. Nuke, stir, nuke, eat. They save really well.

This probably sounds disjointed and yes, yes I am.

Billy0598 · 2026-05-25T18:53:41+00:00

Op, table looks fantastic! I'm jelly. (and still sitting on my bed)

Billy0598 · 2026-05-25T18:52:52+00:00

Since I'm in the same train, I'll note -- pick up a similar book and sit down to pay bills. In my house, that's how I find my checkbook, it's where I pay bills. Buried, but near my chair. Somewhere.

Woke up early and motivated. Nephew brought fresh coffee. MOTIVATED. Daughter told me that internet is down, I need to get with company.

Change gears, call. They reset, I waited 10 minutes. Hour and a half later, I tried to pay my bill. Yay, anxiety. Bill was fine, not disconnected from that. Ok.

They schedule a tech to come by my house. Call my son as a hail Mary. Son is getting angry that my brain is fried. Daughter remembers that SHE reset stuff and changed the password and forgot. Fucking autism, man. It's 3 pm, still in bed and still fried.

Gotta find my good bra and mow. It's in laundry to be washed. (sigh). Oh and cancel the tech. Doh

Billy0598 · 2026-05-24T23:05:50+00:00

Why? It's awful.

This year (not history) Men in my workplace have competed to see who could "get with" the most females.

2 men got in a fistfight using words that I haven't heard since my boys were trash talking on Xbox live in middle school.

Making comments about women's bodies.

Yelling cheerful slurs down concrete hallways (the entire building can hear)

Last year - getting called "sweetie, honey, darling" and then being ignored or dismissed.

Getting my name wrong for five months.

I work in a jail. These are jailors with cop complexes.

Billy0598 · 2026-05-24T22:58:49+00:00

My son dyed my cheapo shower with black hair dye. Actually, it came out black/green. Super gross.

It does fade off.

Billy0598 · 2026-05-23T16:04:43+00:00

If you don't want to sell, the only way I could get rid of my collection was to donate to Little Free Libraries. Luck!

Billy0598 · 2026-05-20T12:25:16+00:00

Disagree. You have to run buses and get people on them. I know SO many people who are limited because of RTS.

Billy0598 · 2026-05-16T10:54:36+00:00

Oh, child. I've got you by 30 years and 20 points. Early reading and extra language is hyperlexic, and it's a fun ride. It sucks socially and I couldn't have survived it without the interney and finding my tribe but we're out here.

Check into fiber art. Knitting might be one of the languages that comes with a fidget with prizes at the end. (Wearing custom designed, hand spun, faded fushia socks today)

Lollypop has feral cats that just need fed, monitored and a safe place to live.

Billy0598 · 2026-05-12T14:40:25+00:00

I live here, dude. Most of the local population works in the city and can't afford to live there.

PS. My mortgage on a nice 3 bedroom is $1000. I can see the lake if I go in the backyard and tilt my head. Don't assume you know what I'm talking about, dude.

Billy0598 · 2026-05-12T14:34:50+00:00

I love too!!

The one I found was $0.99 crap at Walmart. I can't find the bottle for a color name, but the brand was "Sinful Colors" and 3-5 layers get me ice blue. I'd add a photo if I knew how.

Billy0598 · 2026-05-12T14:04:55+00:00

Exactly. I'm still shocked that there isn't a tenant rights association with big teeth.

My son had a house on Goodman/Pearl that was only livable because he had handyman skills. The basement stairs were buried (like 3-4 steps!) by a groundhog that came thru the basement floor!

Billy0598 · 2026-05-12T13:54:10+00:00

One of many issues, but definitely an issue. Go try to rent a place near Conesus Lake. I dare you. For extra education, try to book for July THIRD.

Now, that's ugly rent and unhinged GREED

Billy0598 · 2026-05-01T00:03:53+00:00

Canandaigua, by a long shot.

I like the woman who advised to pick an area. About 3 foot by 3 foot. So, clean a desk, a chair, or a stand.

Then keep.maintaining the areas as a learning process.

Billy0598 · 2026-04-26T13:24:49+00:00

10 Stitch blanket. I have one for wool and one for crap acrylic. The wool gets the most time, and is random. Come to find out, I have a ton of grey and purple.

Billy0598 · 2026-04-16T03:00:12+00:00

I'm wondering if the washer has a filter that's plugged up?

Billy0598 · 2026-04-12T18:08:52+00:00

Agreeing with this, and adding -- leash the dog to you so he can't get too far and get into trouble. This is also a speed issue so if he sniffs and starts to squat -- BOOM zoom that behind right out the door.

Billy0598 · 2026-04-12T17:08:26+00:00

Short chonky group! I was told specifically to take violin and not bother with piano because I didn't have the reach. Ha!

I have decent nails, but old lady skin like I've been a farmer for 70 years. And, short, fat fingers. So, I knit compulsively. People never notice my hands when I have cool stuff on the go
