Wheres Toto Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I need to library. I went last week to pick up a book that I had requested. it took a really long time to be available (it was new, the last book in the Jane Hawk series by Dean Koontz) so I was actually surprised when I got the notice. I finished that in a couple days so need to get around to returning it and maybe I'll try and have time for some browsing when I do. I miss the library. I LOVE the library but I don't have nearly enough time to read these days and I have a ton of books from my trip to the used book store in Ct a month or so ago. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I always feel like I'm talking to myself and maybe one or two other people at this time of day. Why is that? Is it dinner time for most of you? Afternoon errands? I know I'm in a later time zone that many (EST) so I hit -after dinner relaxing - first. And maybe first thing in the morning first too. Except I'm not a morning person so maybe not so much with that one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of two medically related calls, all have been scams. If an actual person was on any of these calls, I might be tempted to swear but it's only been recorded stuff. I don't answer phone calls from numbers I don't recognize. which is probably bad policy since I run a business and use my cell number as the business number. I get calls with the same area code and exchange as my cell phone and those are ALWAYS scam calls. ETA: missed that I did get the booya after all. A scammy phone call booya.

JoJosMom Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 1 hour ago, Where's Toto? said: So, I was doing intermittent fasting and having bone broth in my tea because it kept the tea from bothering my stomach (I usually can't drink tea on an empty stomach). When I stopped IF, I stopped the bone broth too. No reason to stop it, I just had been using it for a specific purpose and that purpose no longer applied. And my achy back and shoulders that I used to have came back. And it occurred to me that maybe the bone broth had been helping that (since it supposedly does help that kind of stuff). So I started taking it in my tea again. And my back and shoulders stopped aching so much. So, not proof of anything but I didn't really change anything else except the bone broth. I think I'm a believer. Now this is going through my head: 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I used to watch the Monkee's on tv but I guess it must have been repeats since it looks like it was on in 1966 and I probably watched in 1976. We didn't have cable back then so where did they put on really old reruns?

My aunt gave me a whole slew of mirrors (decorative) that I’m trying to see how they will look on a wall. She and my uncle had a beach house they sold and they gave me all kinds of stuff. My aunt has amazing taste and loves decorating and doesn’t buy cheap stuff, so these mirrors are lovely. But, they’re in my house and I am horrible at decorating, I buy cheap stuff and some of the artwork on my walls is my daughters’ paintings in Walmart frames. So, anyhow, that’s what I am up to.

Wheres Toto Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 So I ended up watching Music and Lyrics with Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant. I don't know how I never saw that before! It was sooo cute and funny and sweet. Just the kind of movie I love, and I love Drew Barrymore (and Hugh Grant's not bad either 😘) That's definitely one I'll rewatch. So should I watch What A Girl Wants or Sydney White (both with Amanda Bynes), Jane Austen Book Club, or the Fast and the Furious next? It might need to wait until tomorrow because it's close to bedtime here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Beautiful table. I slept well after taking Dayquil but was up pretty early thanks to the damn dog. Then couldn't really get back to sleep so decided to get up and head to the science center early, get that done with, so I could come home and do laundry all day. Had to feed the turtle today, he was happy to see me. I sent a breakfast order to the closest Panera (about 10 minutes away), left to pick it up and go to the science center so I could eat while Flop (the turtle) eats. Then thought the check and realized I sent the order to the wrong Panera. So had to drive to the one by dd's TKD dojo which is about 20 minutes from home. Not a huge difference but still annoying, especially because I'm driving dh's Suburban and I hate that thing. And it has no air conditioning at the moment. I need to figure out a way to clean out the cockroach tank. I want to replace all the bedding before we go on vacation. I use coconut husk which I can wet down really well to keep it humid while we are gone, plus it really needs to be cleaned out. Needed it weeks ago but that's when I found the babies. I need to find something to hold all of them while I'm cleaning it out. I had a container that worked for mom and dad, but the babies are small enough to get out. Then I need to figure out how I'm going to get all the babies into the new container without losing any of them. Maybe a big spoon. I don't care if I get a small amount of bedding out with them but I don't want to lose any of them (don't need madagascar hissing cockroaches breeding in the walls). I don't think any of them are burrowed down into the substrate, but will need to stir it up and check for each part before I remove it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand how you feel, I really do. You guys just made a really huge move, you are getting used to a new city, a totally new climate.
