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.
(i’m a lawyer in real life.)
turns out (who’d have thought?), murphy appeared in court today, with a law degree from murphy’s law school!
he also (no surprise there), snuck in 5 new laws!!

soooo, what did i do? i sent him an sms of course:
dear, sweet murphy,
how about you let me win, and no one gets hurt. kiss, kiss.
bundle of joy :)
Ha! I don't believe it. For the damage someone would have had to remove the pad, then pee on the mattress and then put the cover back on. Not likely. Though there was a resident here last year that was a drug dealer, used coke and was very well known to the police. I chatted with the chief today. The guy has several warrants out for his arrest. Was guilty of stealing a disabled person's bike. The PD got the bike back.
So now the hunt is on again for a decent place to live. Ugh!

Just thought it seemed a fantastic free resource.

Right, Glad. The host knew. Whoever cleaned the place - host or cleaning service - before renting to you would have seen the problems if they washed the cover... which they should have. Hope you find a place that's comfortable and CLEAN.
On the surface, the plot is transparent. A 20 something marries a guy about 70 and doesn’t like it, he tries everything to be younger, more independent, and thru an elixir catapults himself into an actual 6 month baby, who the brother informs the wife she’ll be in charge of caring for, forever, as long as she wants the spousal inheritance.
This can be interpreted I suppose in a number of allegories.
Twilight Zone covered our aging crises very well.
Take time to get settled back in your home state.💗
glad, i hope very soon things are solved!!
enjoy home, becky!!
ali - we are a being profiled! Sounds like a good resource.
the court case (surprise, surprise) has been postponed! but murphy insists he has - absitively posilutely - nothing to do with it. (...can we really trust someone who says "absitively posilutely"?...).
meanwhilllle, of course, murphy just keeps adding laws:

so, i wrote an sms to murphy:
dear, sweet murphy,
are you a scaredy-cat? why weren't you in court today? the judge and i waited. to be fair, i would be frightened too, if i were going to court against me. breathe in, breathe out. you can do this. see you soon. kiss, kiss.
bundle of joy :)
Dear Bundle of Joy,
I enjoyed your confidence in winning against me in our imminent court case. You might want to relax tonight, before losing against me.
We can even drink a bottle of wine together tonight. And after our court case tomorrow, we can celebrate my victory.
Yours forever,
Think of me, next time you're at the supermarket (as you know: if you change queues, the one you have left will start to move faster than the one you are in now) (Murphy's 29th Law).

It is so discouraging to be in this situation. At least my house hasn't sold yet and I do love it so. We will see. New house to be done end of June if I don't find something I like better before then and if my house sells.
And on host claiming he didn't know, yes, Ali the mattress pad should have been cleaned before I arrived. And what host would spend several thousand on tempurpedic mattress? He just have bought it cheap or even off a curb for free. DISGUSTING!
i hope soon it's sorted!!
dear becky,
wonderful you're HOME :).
i wrote an sms (lots of sms's back and forth these days between us, since the court case is mysteriously STILL postponed).
dear, sweet murphy,
the bottle of wine last night was very nice.
BUT, you're still in big trouble. and i'm telling on you. so there.
bundle of joy :)
his sms:
Dear Bundle of Joy,
I heard you’re going to the supermarket today, to buy chocolate eggs for Easter. I’m sure you’ll be thinking about me, while you wait in the queu.
The court case? Postponed yes. But again, I had absitively posilutely nothing to do with it.
By pure coincidence, I’m taking the judge out for lunch today, at the same time you go to the supermarket. Of course, with no intention of getting him on my side.
Yours forever,
Murphy
(CEO of Murphy’s Law School)
dear, sweet murphy,
i’m in the queue, with all my chocolate eggs. the judge is with me. who exactly are you with?
one step ahead of you. kiss, kiss.
bundle of joy :)
and good luck with the various challenges everyone’s facing!
here, the crazy weather continues (snow + spring) (hence my attempts at litigation against murphy’s law).
many challenges in our lives are tough…!
big good luck hugs from me.
be super kind to yourself :).
new month, new start :).
“april” possibly comes from greek “aphrodite” (goddess of beauty). venus.
i wish us a beautiful month :).
wipe away the bad past. start again.
i’m lucky that things are calm (LOs well, etc.). i have no problems right now.
i wish us luck, with the challenges we face!
hug!!
bundle of joy :)
I have a 2018 4Runner with only 30,000 miles on it. It is about 100 miles, two hour drive each way. Now I will start racking up those miles. It is due for maintenance so I will get that scheduled the end of next week.
i bet it'll feel great when you are HOME :) :).
