[Small Talk: The Prayer Closet]

We could get T-shirts! Mine would say: “Allergies. Asthma. Pay no attention to the cough. Really.” I’m only half kidding.

The thing I keep reading about that scares me is that many patients have come to the hospital with oxygen saturations so low they should be unconscious but they’re sitting up, conversing and swiping through their phones. Me allergies haven been so nasty this year (Curse you, mild winter) that I broke down and bought an inexpensive pulse ox meter. It reassures me when I’m having a bad coughing day that nothing more serious is going on.

So . . . You're supposed to eat the baby cookie in its mother's womb? 🤔

I can't be the only person who finds that weird. 

It’s disturbing.

Happy birthday @ChiCricket! If anyone deserves to have a glorious day, it’s you. ❤️❤️❤️
I’m with you, @marypat57. I’m not the greatest at keeping plants alive but I miss having a garden. Does anyone know of a grape tomato plant that might thrive in a pot on the patio?

Whereas Jill's made it clear on many occasions that, in her (idiotic) view, giving even a second's credence to any translation other than the KJV is absolute heresy and equivalent to being a pagan, an atheist, a Catholic and a communing member of the United Church of Christ walk into a bar all rolled into one.

Jill would have a stroke if she walked into an average UCC. Plus there’d be at least a half dozen social workers in the congregation and her jig would be up. Makes me want to invite her. 🙂

That’s a closet not a nursery. And again too much stuff and chatchies 

I think there is window on the right wall

I don’t think so. There is no window in that room.

I really want to call the fire marshall.

Not a shred of food visible. You haven't been cooking, Jingle. You might be wearing yoru baking sleeves, though. I can't really tell.

Her baking sleeves are part of the dark green top with the lacy insets. I kind of hate myself for knowing that.

Ahem. Before we moved to the Maine coast and lived there for 14 years, I loved lobster. In Maine we could buy it off the docks for $2 a pound.

But after a few years of driving behind bait trucks and smelling what lobsters like to eat, (old herring, mostly...very VERY odiferous)...the thrill was gone. I don’t think I ate it the last five years we lived there!

I’d be willing to attempt to get sick of lobster. For science.

Folks in Maine tend to eat a lot of lobster.  I don't think that means they're pretentious or snotty about it.  

Proximity to lobster would be my reason to move to Maine. I don’t think I would ever tire of it.

In all honesty, high school graduation was something to endure. I got no pleasure from it. Pretty much from the time I got accepted to college (November of my senior year) I was ready to be done. I loved the “schooly” part of school but socially? I was graduating from 13 years of daily bullying. I was ready to be gone.

But I cried like a baby graduating from Senior Scouts. These were my people. My family. And, yeah, I was the kid who cried every year at the end of camp. Still would be and wish I could.

When I was growing up my mom would by shrimp cocktail in a glass at the grocery store. Maybe that's Jeremy's favorite. 😂

I ADORED shrimp cocktail as a kid and we had the juice glasses to prove it! Sadly, this was a treat we got once a year on New Years Eve, but I also remember fried shrimp being a favorite on the rare occasions we ate out. Now I wouldn’t touch fried shrimp with a ten-foot pole - breading is evil - but those were simpler times. 😁

I ordered a t-shirt online. It was really  inexpensive, with the coupon code only $12.00.  Something just for fun.  I did it impulsively and now think it looks cheesy.....lol.   I guess I can make masks with it, if I don't like it though.  This is it.

I just noticed that a new version out that I like better. It has a flower and around it, it says In a world of all we can be Be Kind.  

 

It’s a great sentiment. I just ordered a shirt that says Keep the immigrants, Deport the Racists. Yours is more polite. 😁

It would be nice if we could do virtual visits. Not for every thing of course but at 63 I know what's wrong with me most of the time. I sometimes joke with my Dr. that I should get a discount if I diagnose myself correctly. !y insurance does have the ability to do an office visit by phone. I prefer that if it is something simple.

My old doc of 27 years I could just email her and say:  Need prednisone and cough syrup, no antibiotic yet but will let you know if that changes. We had a deal that if things got to a certain stage I would come in. I really appreciated the trust. Also her office building was difficult for me to negotiate so not having to go in was a HUGE plus.

 Any excuse to wear fandom things you know- given the job I have an the fact that I have the worlds highest pitched voice and baby face I never wear fandom things outside of theme parks because I want people to know I’m an adult- WFH is a fun time to wear all the Baby Yoda and Disney gear I want. 
 

This is one of the best things about retirement: band shirts every day!

My family is half and half: Mom and S and I are all righties, Dad, K and my brother are lefties. My Dad was of the generation that got slapped around by nuns for left-handedness but neither him nor my brother have even a hint of ambidexterity so he wound up writing crab-handed. I used to wish I was left-handed, a lot of my crushes were for sure. It’s one of the first thing I’ll notice about a person.

“[Masks] are viewed as a robbery in progress”??????

I am, for once, utterly speechless at the length, width, depth and breadth of the stupid.

Hope Covid enjoys Starla’s Concealed Carry class....🙄

Which is why many black people are afraid to wear masks in public, especially black men. I can’t blame them. But it makes me sick that this is just another way they are put at risk in this society.

Jill probably told her she was getting a little belly and she needed to cover it up.

Well, you know, that happens some time when you’re malnourished.

I better have SOMEONE irl I can watch it with! I don't care if we have to still sit outside six feet apart while watching on separate computers😂

I may have screamed a little when I first saw this.

Okay, so I need some opinions. I recently ordered some seeds from a seller on Etsy.com. They arrived... with an additional slip of paper describing how Jesus was the answer to my salvation and a Bible verse. 

I am an atheist. I could also be a Buddhist, Moslem, Jewish or Taoist, for all they know. I found it...offensive and presumptuous. I ordered tomato seeds, not a tract.

Am I off base here? If not, do I leave feedback and/or contact Etsy to complain?

That’s gross and obnoxious and I’d let them know they got their first and last sale
