Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.

Admin -are you reading this?
I'd still like to see anything posted by the OP highlighted in some way so that everyone can easily find any new, relevant information they post.
And CW, so often OP's do not come back. It would be helpful to somehow see or be notified when OP posts again.
Sometimes, I get irritated, and want to post: "Asked and answered".
Finally, I avoid the Aging Care forum for awhile, whenever I cannot be helpful, whenever people are getting mean, whenever it gets too out of whack.
I would love to have a notification when the OP comes back. We get that in our news feed, but it could be highlighted that this is the OP from a question/discussion you are following.
Anyone can contact the admins by sending an email via 'About Aging Care'.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page...
There may be a trend that the caregivers posting here are expected to be self-regulating and additionally, appreciated for self-moderating.
We can always vote with our feet by not responding at all to certain posts.
Whenever I become extra irritated by others, I try to look to myself as to why something so unimportant irks me so. Then I log out and go have some fudge.

Unfollowing threads.....
One thing I have noticed, some will read just the Title and answer, without reading the whole post and any of the threads. That happens in pretty much in all the forums that I view.
I stopped using the feed years ago, I found for myself it was easier to just scroll and read anything new of interest. If someone has written the very same thing I was going to write, I tend to click on the "like" key.
Glad that you got to go crabbing. Did you a trot line or crab traps?
Other assistant had to go home as well, she is not yet fully vaccinated.
I do not have to quarantine because I am fully vaccinated. Now just a waiting game hoping I don't get sick. 😕
And as I enjoy the snow, I am planning my evening outside in the cold watching my grand-nephew play a football playoff game. It's forecasted to be 45 when the game starts at 7:00p. I am planning on wearing several layers and taking a thermos of hot sweet tea. I will enjoy the 3 hour trip across the state to the game site, lots of beautiful trees with fall colors to enjoy as well as the company of my big brother. The 3 hour trip home in the dark after the game (probably a loss, #4 seed plays #1) will most likely be less enjoyable. We will make it home about midnight.
Is it utterly disloyal to halfway hope for a loss so we don't have to do this again? I have attended playoff games in late November where it was actually snowing during the game... when I was 30 years younger. I feel the cold more now, at least sitting still, when I'm walking it doesn't bother me much. I think the medicines I take have something to do with it, just like they make me more venerable to sunburn.
