    Las Vegas might be fun to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. Too freakin hot also. Idaho sounds great.

    I moved here because I met the wife online and she had her kids here. Now we have 4 grand kids too so it's hard to leave but we probably will at some point.

    I'm looking into dentists. The cost is what's kept me from getting it pulled up to this point. I'm extravagant on some things, but healthcare not so much, I'm 'frugal (cheap is more like it). Death sometimes seems like it would be a relief. With life, all of the complications, deceptions, the pain and sorrow of it all, it feels like a burden, instead of a blessing mostly.

    I soldier on, knowing that I don't (and can't) really understand existence (and my place in it), faced with the knowledge that it'll be over soon, because of my mortality, hoping to gain some meaning to make the suffering worthwhile. Even when I'm up I'm down, as B.B. King said "I've been down since I began to crawl. If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all." I suppose I have the blues, have had it for some time.

    Anyways, I'm looking for a dentist to take care of my dental issues. In the meantime I've got my dog, my bed, my scooter, my job, a cold beer at the end of the day. That's enough to keep on keeping on, for now. I'll deal with tomorrow, when it becomes today, and when the day comes that isn't the case, I'll deal with that too, when it happens, as it surely will, for all of us.
    I really hope something chases your blues away.

    Where's the pliers and the antiseptic!' lol.

    My husband actually DID that. Minus antiseptic or any pain killer. Rusty garage pliers. NOT due to lack of dentistry either, I have put him on my dental plan since I married him. He doesn't like to use it apparently. He was complaining one time about whether my dental benefits were any good and I was like NO dental benefits are any good they ALL suck but what do YOU care? I could have PAID for my dentures with your premiums which you have never, once, used. LOL.

    He did not appear very HAP{Y afterwards, but the mere fact he DID it? Respect. LOL. I guess if you freaking like break your neck twice yanking out a dying tooth root is no biggie.
    I mean, it is HORRIBLE, don't DO it, or at least take video and post it. The husband opted for the "surprise attack" so I did not get to see it. I very much wish I had seen it. I will take your replacement. If you DO it I will tell you the story of the husband's .... boil and how he handled THAT which was sheer comedy that should cheer ANYONE up. I mean, comedians should tell this tale. I guess I am one sometimes I got thourgh my Walmart trip by putting on my favorite playlist on my phone speaker (which is pretty loud) and singing and dancing my way through. (The mask helped.) I seriously expected to be stopped for lunacy but it was FINE and super fun to watch the reactions of others. Especially the Maven Hispanic women on their phones. They were mad. I was like, "I will put mine away if YOU do senora." They left which was cool as a good Hispanic maven can tie up an aisle for like 30 minutes. I kept expecting to get stopped by a like, employee I mean at one point I was climbing like a monkey to grab something and singing "when the party's over" which is like the ULTIMATE pairing but I guess they are sick of the music too, at Walmart, it sucks. I was better. Heh.

    If I was a voice instructor, I would instruct all my students to do it. Especially now the mask really helps with self-consicenceness only when we no longer NEED masks I think I will get a Zorro mask and continue. It was GRRRRRRRRREAT.;

    The only time things got tense was at the checkout where we got to "My Chemical Romance" which like I guess singing about one's dad dying of cancer in a mask might be too much.

    The husband sighed when I told him. I was like, "NO one stopped me.." I also I guess the only other racy thing was like James Parson whom I am in LOVE with honestly, he is the best singer and is also gay and out and proud has this great song called "Sinner like you" and it starts with something like, "Mama, last night I done sinned again, I went to bed with another man." I was singing along so it was more bi I guess, but kids might have been near. They might have questions. SInce I always enjoyed my sons questions in this arena, l figured I was doing the parents a favor I am sure they are ALL getting bored at home too. It also contains the inimitable lyrics, "But we all got a bag a bones." Great song. Anyway the parents acted like I was acting worse than the kids, but like, they were WHINING I was contributing ATMOSPHERE. I say I win.

    I wore my best jeans since (hard earned) I like, have the best 40ish body of all TIME. The rest of my outfit was deliberately slightly lunatic. The dudes looked the most appreciative until I danced. Like Phil Gabriel I cannot dance only he under does it and I over do it.; Then they were extremely amused.

    Then I came home talked to husband, freaked me out started looking at like OMG rentals in WV and I AM SKEEERED. We may have to IDK I do NOT EVEN know how we will do this.


    great comedy if you haven't seen it.

    IDK I saw that one as more of a documentary with particularly hot office workers or TGIF workers or whatnot. I have worked in offices. It will make you nuts.

    God gotta get to bed although OMG I am FREAKED OUT so glad I had my Walmart "time' though it was the best "time" I have had in ages.

    @hittman orders bulk. Maybe you can go in with him on an order so you can get the mini mints.

    Thanks, Frannie, I know, but I still have some in the freezer. If/when the day comes when I won't be able to to find my minis, I know where to find "them." I know the secret handshake. I spent some time on the other side of the tracks in the beginning of my vaping journey. They are a great group. :wub:

    Don't wait too long. It only gets worse; the treatment will be more complicated, more painful, and more costly.

    Good luck, Blitz! :wub:

    Good morning mixers. I’m still trying to finish the 60ml bottle of blueberry milkshake I mixed a long time ago. I’m trying to pull one old mix at a time to use up out of my cabinet. I don’t go through a lot each day so it takes me quite a while to finish a bottle. I got on a kick for a while mixing 50ml of different recipes and not going back and using them.

    I’m mixing most in 15ml these days. I’m the only vapor and it’s more manageable as long as I don’t mix a million bottles.

    @FranC good year or bad year you are loved here. Talk about it when you are ready. Hugs.

    OMG I did way, way too much. It was horrible. I emailed my doc while calling SSA. I hate them so much especially since they are all home with COVID they tell SUCH AMAZING LIES. The woman said she couldn't transfer me to medicare, even though I KNOW she could have. They keep telling me I am active when I shouldn't be although if I am it might almost be easier.

    I HATE MEDICARE. Don't get me wrong I am glad it exists it is the worst insurance on the face of the earth and it sucks, though.

    Anyway so then I was looking up goodrx prices which are lower than Medicare anyway so I just sent a begging email to my doc to FILL them and do a rapid appt (I need one for my private disability which THANK GOD I have it, it has been keeping us TOTALLY afloat.;) Per SSDI lady before she hung up on me, "Your local Douglas office is working on it." I want a supervisor to transfer it OUT of there because the Douglas office "wins" by just not doing ANYTHING like I might get it next year. However. I am ONLY capable of one SSA call a day. So, I will call about the insurance thing tomorrow and etc. and like, hope my doc just faxes my meds. He said he would.

    Then I signed a bunch of checks and deposited and called the realter and left a message. Called both my guys and chatted briefly. There is no possible way it Is 2 pm but pretty soon here I am going to BATHE, I so want to the tub at the Tucson house (in the public bathroom which we were using like SUCKED. I hate that tub (it has a splotch of purple paint it is impossible to get clean, lit is probably the worst thing in the house) sucked and is tiny. I will have a long soak. I also have a splitting headache.. Not sure if that is Advil withdrawal or what but after I take my meds well we will see. Also emailed our realtor to get contract to sign, etc.

    Gah.; I PLAN to be fast with like, Walmart it doesn't always work that way.

    Here's hoping.

    I can get a lot done in a day being homeless and medless is motivating I guess.

    However, anyone who makes more than one SSA call a day, I salute you. They make me want to throw plates, but in their faces, not my back yard.

    Anna


    The funny is for the last paragraph LOL. Go Anna.

    I’m on my 4th fill of my Rhuberry Black Tea. I really like this one so instead of vaping it all I think I’ll put it back and choose another. Save the best and vape my way through the less than best. Sounds like a good plan to me and won’t take as long.

    It isn't sweet like a milkshake. It's just WF blueberry milkshake with some tfa blueberry added. It's ok but not great. If you wanted a sweet milkshake then you'd probably have to add some vanilla bean ice cream.

    I really don't want anything overly sweet. I just want a good blueberry flavor.

    Good morning :) my plans are putting out metaphorical fires, and figuratively speaking.. when it rains it pours it seems, but what can one do? Just do what you can, and don't stress about it.

    And..

    I'm gonna have to try that one. One of my favorite flavors a few years back was a green tea mixed with some fruits. I didn't think I would like it, but quickly got hooked.
