I left a review on the doctor’s personal website, not Facebook.

Same principle.

Since then I know nothing is anonymous.

So what is going on now with this site.  We are listed as yellow light, and the format has changed drastically.  The posts are not the correct size and are all over the place.

[Salacious Kitty]

It's done this before. But I don't see that we're yellow lighted. The announcements haven't changed.

I have a question. Can anyone recommend a book for a lady whose husband has been diagnosed with cancer?  She is having trouble processing and full of the “what ifs”.  Thank you 🙏🏻

Is she religious? There are many with this as the focus.

No, she is not religious.

The quoteS are not showing who they originated from. Another site bug.

Mark site read is also not showing up correctly.

No problem here. I just used it.

It was corrected some time this morning.

Yeah, I went to the Bugs forum, but it was already fixed by the time I got there. 😀

This is a real sport!  I was shocked and mildly amused.  It will make you smile. Not a wasted 2 minutes.

I think it has said that since they gave the forum the green light - they give it green hearts, but never changed the title. 🤷‍♀️

I saw a news report about this a couple of years ago.  So wacky.

I think I may have mentioned this a few months ago, but since I had been really looking for some good motivation to get back into my art work more seriously, my librarian daughter offered that I could do an exhibition at the library where she works, since they have a big gallery space where they do monthly rotating exhibits. So I've been painting steadily...The room will need about 60-70 pieces to fill the walls, and I figured I had about 25-30 older works around the house that could go in, so I've been trying to average a painting per week since the beginning of the year. Probably still have about 15 more to do by October (when the show is scheduled). It's all really exciting! Sometimes I feel as though I am improving, and at other times I still look at my work and feel as though it's hopelessly amateurish compared with that of "real" artists. At any rate, here are a couple of my latest. The scene with the cloudy sky and lake is just about done, and the one with the figure (my cousin in England) sitting on a rock still needs a bunch of foreground detail and refinement of the figure, but I feel as though it's coming along. Just in case anyone is interested in seeing my progress.

[Absolom]

You paint better than my neighbor and hers sell for $1000 to $1500 each!

Beautiful paintings @Jynnan tonnix

Lovely indeed. Thanks for sharing.  

[Minivanessa]

Very good, @Jynnan tonnix. Thanks for sharing those. 

[Liddy52]

@Jynnan tonnix I LOVE the lake painting! You are very talented. 

[EtheltoTillie]

Agree.  I really like the lake painting!

[andromeda331]

Your very talented @Jynnan tonnix.

[zoomama]

beautiful  paintings!

[Mindthinkr]

@Jynnan tonnix I’m so excited for you and your upcoming art exhibition. 
I can see your talent. Keep up the good work.

Slept in a bit today. I’m outside having my coffee. My daughter just came out with a huge cup of water and a neck cooler. She gave me the cup, and put the cooler on my neck. I asked, what’s this? She said the elderly are at risk. 🤣🤣🤣

[crazy8s]

That is funny.

My daughter and I joked about this yesterday. She is in upstate NY and we are in Michigan, so both under the heat warning. Our power was briefly out and she asked if I was starting the generator for AC. (never happens) I told her I was cleaning storage areas in the basement, where it was nice and cool so there was no need for that.

We have some of those "instant" neck cooler towel things. They are great. My grands  have them for sports when the weather is really hot. We also learned long ago at a scout camp in AR that a frozen bottle of water on the back of your neck helps cool your body.

Stay cool and safe friends who are in the excessive heat areas.

[oliviabenson]

The heat is bothering me as I age. I can barely take it and it’s not 100 degrees. I feel like a whimp. Stay cool as best as you can!

[BetyBee]

it's 90 here today, but kind of windy, so not too bad. I've got robins sitting on a nest on my front porch. I put out some water for the parents and any other critters who need a drink. Yesterday was unbearably humid. 

[oliviabenson]

The heat is making me mean and cranky. 
 

Also where is @Scarlett45?

Same! The older I get, the less I can tolerate heat and humidity. It’s mostly the humidity that tortures me.

Baltimore is in the same heat wave, and it sucks.  Yesterday, when Mr. Six left for work at 630am, it was already 74* with 86% humidity.  He has two temperatures that show in his car.  The outside temp and the air inlet temp.  When he left around 415pm, the air inlet temp was 101*.  My POTS symptoms get amplified in the heat and humidity, so I'm doing my best to stay inside.  Our little tortie girl has a cardiologist consult on Friday, and I'm not looking forward to the trip.  It's less than 15 miles, but between the heat and traffic, I'm more worried about the trip than I am about the appointment.

Decamped.

She was recommending another site, but I could not figure out how to use it, even after I registered.  It did not seem user-friendly at all.

I couldn’t figure it out either.

[Notabug]

It was very unwieldy.  I checked a couple days ago and the whole site was dead, virtually no posts in weeks,.

[Minivanessa]

Yes, I also found it unwieldy. 

[Absolom]

Once I found something, I had to bookmark it to find it again.  I did find a doggie update.

While we were in the red zone, and people were talking about other sites to go to.  It was called something like Down another Rabbit Hole.  I registered but could not post anything.  I'm not sure if she posted or if she sent me a PM.

Another former mod DMed me about it. I also signed up but never posted there. It's pretty much a ghost town. I just checked it, and it only has 11 posts for the House of the Dragon episode. Pathetic.

The way I found out was through a private message, or whatever they’re called here. To my knowledge it was never posted.

Just Googled Karissa. A few of her kids have very interesting names. Is she a modern Fundy?
