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.
And they estimate 500,000 people at the parade today! News originally guessed 200,000 would attend. They were off by a bit.😁😁
And absolutely no civil unrest! The police had prepared for all.
Live coverage of parade and party, four hours worth!

Drugs are also known by the names:
Imiprimine (Tofranil)
and
Olanzapine (Zyprexa)
This won't be the first time efforts were made to get approval from the FDA on an older drug for a new use.
When a drug brand expires and the generic becomes available at a less expensive price, there is very little incentive financially to get approval for a new use.
However, this is promising research! There is hope, not a cure, but a treatment I am thinking.

this comment is about stress. many people have psycho-somatic symptoms from the huge stress they’re under.
i just saw some very good advice on the internet.
i post it here, because maybe it helps:
“It wasn't until I started to focus on shedding the anxiety that my health started coming back.
How did I shed the anxiety?
(A) Going to bed early. Quitting T.V. Waking up early.
(B) Talking to my loved ones every day, every chance I had.
(C) Stopped eating any junk, removed all processed foods from my life. Removed all toxic people from my life. Anyone who took advantage of me, didn't give me credit, or gave me a funny, anxious feeling, I let them go.
(D) Focusing on the now. Every time my mind wandered, I focused on my breath. I focused on my hands typing, the water hitting my face, how the pillow felt against my cheek....I started to live.
(E) Forgetting the past. Acknowledging that the past had no power over my life (this moment). This moment was all I ever had.
This isn't easy, it sounds easy but it takes effort. I had to realize that I did not need the anxiety, the T.V., the junk food...I did not "need" anything.
The current moment was the most precious gift in my life. The only thing I actually needed.”
I sincerely hope she is safe.
Hmmm?
Weird!

Can you get what you are looking for by entering "Oldies but Goodies" in your search bar? Maybe try a google search instead of Youtube.
Today is a good day for me to stay off social media, I think.
But music is always fun. peaceful. relaxing. or energizing. Uplifting. Or for recalling memories.
Be careful, I cannot get these songs out of my head, played over the weekend:
"Better stop people, what's that sound, everybody look what's goin down".
"What a field day for the heat"
"Somewhere in the darkness, the gambler he broke even".
"The best you can hope for, is to die in your sleep".
After years later, rewatching "Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood", Sandra Bullock-An alcoholic mother who has a breakdown and goes after her children, beats them with a belt, then is taken away....
I now find myself in shock mostly. The movie is not about my friend who was an alcoholic (and looked a lot like the mother).....
It is about my mother, going after me. And the rest of the story is pretty much the same.
There is sand in my eyes and nose and mouth, after pulling my head out. 🙄
For What It's Worth by Buffalo Springfield. That one was on my playlist today, they did manage to get some things right.

Oh my goodness. You wouldn't believe how much they are getting done. The dad is doing heroics out there with the wilderness in my garden. What a nice family!!! I am truly blessed! I will have a truckload of vegetation to be hauled away.
A real estate lady is coming over tomorrow afternoon to take a look and let me know what needs doing around here. Prayers that it go well would be appreciated.
Indeed they are blessing you, Praise The Lord!

I have hiked down those stairs at the Pt. Reyes Lighthouse in California.
Coming back up, I had to let people pass me by, so I could rest. That was a lot of stairs! Way back when....
He has stepped back into his friendships with my grand-nephews (he's between them in age) and is having fun with them. He's decided to be a ball boy with the football team this year. A big surprise to me is how much he's taken to gardening; says he loves seeing the work yield something that tastes great. Next year we're going to plant some watermelons...
