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.
It is ridiculous how marketing is handled in the retail world.
We barely celebrate Valentine’s Day here. It’s overshadowed by our Mardi Gras!
We don’t celebrate Presidents’ Day either. It’s not a holiday from work or school here.
The kids here get a week off school for Mardi Gras. One year we went out of town for Mardi Gras and my kids were confused why kids were going to school in that area! LOL. 😆
They were young and thought everyone had the week off for Mardi Gras!
I adore botanical gardens and love to visit them but I would never pick any of the flowers.
Wait, my dream got even weirder! 😆 As I was walking along with the flowers in my hand, I decided to eat them! LOL
I started to wonder if they were toxic and thought that I should go to the emergency room. Then I decided that I would be too embarrassed to admit that I stole flowers and ate them.
My husband says that a dream analyst would have a field day with my dreams!
Why would I dream such a thing?
The only thing I can think of is that my daughter was telling me about toxic plants when we were looking at poinsettias. She brings her dog over to our house quite often. She was reminding me about poisonous plants.
I have always had strange dreams.
I have a friend who started hallucinating from meds that she was given in the hospital. She was having a hysterectomy. I think it was a reaction to Demerol, if I remember correctly.
Her mom was visiting her and she told her mom, “Mom, let’s pick some of these beautiful pink tulips!”
Her mother pushed the button and hollered, “Please send a nurse in! My daughter is having hallucinations about tulips!”
I love Reese’s chocolate eggs!
Growing up in Nevada we got Halloween off, it is Nevada admission day. Imagine my surprise that Halloween wasn't about Nevada at all. :-)
That’s funny!
AZ doesn’t observe daylight savings time, right? That’s different from other places too. I think there is one other state that doesn’t observe. Can’t recall which one though.
I Love that commercial . I stop what I’m doing to watch it when I’m in the kitchen and I hear the music when DH is watching TV .

I haven’t kept up with our old coach. I wonder how he is doing in Colorado with the Broncos. I only watch our guys play. I don’t follow all of the other teams.
Maybe they only go down the hill once or twice .
I figured the kids would drag their sleds back up to the top for them . 🤔🤷♀️🤪.
They have helmets on . But yeah falling off especially if going fast could still be an issue for elderly even though it doesn’t look very steep .
Every time I watch it I want to be with them !! 🥺😄 I loved sledding . I did a lot of that as a kid.
The bum warmer idea would make a cute commercial too ! They could sit on them and then all simultaneously dream they are sledding .
Maybe that will be next year . Next year’s commercial we would find out they were really on bum warmers and the sledding was all a dream !!
Oh I know they were on seat cushions . lol.
I was responding to cwillies post before mine . Having alittle fun with it . I was saying next year they could have them sitting on bum warmers on the bench and they are all daydreaming the entire sledding commercial from this year . Sort of like that old show Newhart when the last episode of the series reveals that the entire show was a dream .
Hothouse, I like to think the kids helped them .🤞🏻
I also like the liberty mutual commercial with the dog walker. It’s cute too.
I am sick of the personal injury attorney commercials in my area!
Well, I think I would like to be having fun if I am going to have an accident. 😝
I have never been sledding. I would love to try it! Never been skiing either.
My cousin decided to jump out of an airplane when she turned 50. That was her birthday gift to herself. She loved it.
Merry Xmas everyone!!! And Happy New Year!!!
Sounhappy, that's actually exciting. Sounds like you will have decisions to make in the new year about career. Would love to hear your thoughts, what you have done, what you think you would LIKE to do, and etc. Change is so good for us, usually.
Also hoping you get your long awaited "just" decision.
Hope all take care and stay as well as you are able.
Yeah, that’s true, my confusion can lead to good change. I think I want something totally new.
In My Life
Release date: 03 December 1965
There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed.
Some forever, not for better;
Some have gone and some remain.
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall.
Some are dead and some are living,
In my life I've loved them all.
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you.
And these mem'ries lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new.
Tho' I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them,
In my life I love you more.
Tho' I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them,
In my life I love you more.
In my life I love you more.
Joy is shared....
What the....anybody heard of stunt doubles?
The film crew must have helped them up the hill again.
Those ladies were not that old.
Oh well…
Anyone else have a kid that asks for your opinion but no matter what is said to them they ignore you? 😆
Guess how I handled it? I walked out of the room and told her to figure it out for herself.
She’s a nervous wreck! She’s in this long distance relationship and her boyfriend wants to introduce her to his family. She’s excited to meet them but I swear she packed at least twice the amount of stuff that she needs!
I don’t know what she will do if she exceeded the weight limit of her suitcases but it’s her problem, right? I decided to stay home with her dog and let my husband drive her to the airport.
Plus, her boyfriend says that he is taking her shopping for her Christmas present when she arrives.
She is going to have to ship whatever she buys back to New Orleans. There is no possible way that she can fit anything else into her suitcases.
She thinks it is ridiculous that suitcases didn’t have wheels on them years ago. Maybe that is one reason why we never packed as much stuff years ago. We had to carry suitcases when we were her age.
Taking her shopping ……ring shopping ?
She can wear that home !!
I have a dog and cat arriving plus I have my own cat . 😬😬😬
