I fold.

I'm moving to Dreamwidth. It would be elegant to wait until March 20 which would have completed 20 years here at Live Journal. 20 freakin' years. I've made a lot of friends and can say that Live Journal has made my life richer and fuller than I could possibly imagine ( Read more... )

This user just sent me a private message. I don't think she'd mind if I make it public. She said "hi".

The water in the pool yesterday was not at all clear. It was way more on the green and murky side. So I left home this morning ready to swim but with expectations low. I got there early. The lights were on (not always the case) so I could see the pool from outside. A little greener and a little murkier. It may be safe but not at all fun and I'm ( Read more... )

That's what the gorilla sized day manager at the gym told me this morning. The water clarity has been disappearing. When I asked about it on Thursday, the guy told me the pool guy had COVID but they were bringing in a backup guy. Well, apparently that backup guy hasn't been there yet. It was well on it's way to pea soup this morning. Ugh. But, ( Read more... )

As I reported already, yesterday I created a single use gmail account and then used it to open a facebook account. Occasionally there are groups that have info I want to follow. I had no intention of friending people or posting anything ( Read more... )

Every year before my annual exam, my Doctor sends me to the lab for blood and urine samples. The latter is always stressful in that I'm not good with peeing on demand and even worse on peeing into the container with the tiny mouth they give you. So, a few years ago I started packing my own pee. I have an old pimento jar that I keep just for that ( Read more... )

I have just killed an hour and a half setting up a new gmail account and facebook. It was bill_schubert's idea. It took me a half dozen tries just to set up the email because I know how and don't need to read the fucking fine print. Ok so I do need to read the fucking fine print. Done. I'm still not sure if I have the actual mail set up right - so that all the ( Read more... )

I stopped at the first gas station and inserted my card incorrectly. I corrected. It was rejected. I tried again. I got "see cashier". I replied with "see ya". And went across the street. This one had a different card insertion scheme and that one also failed. Resulting in another "see cashier ( Read more... )

I didn't go swimming this morning. It was just too fucking cold. 22 degrees is not enough degrees to warrant bus waiting. Yes, I could go later. But I have this thing about swimming at the start of the day. It's now daylight out but only 24 degrees and I've moved on to other non-swimming things in my head ( Read more... )

The total of my investments has been down for a couple of weeks and today, from that low position it is sinking fast. Pretty soon I'm going to have to send Biggie out to get a paying gig ( Read more... )
