    Walking with friends

    We're on vacation. Today I am going hiking on Mount Lemmon in Tucson, Arizona with my hubby who is also my best friend. It's hot down in the city but will be quite cool up on the mountain. If we're not too tired after a hike, we will visit the University of Arizona minerals museum and stare...

    My dream life.

    The Gulf of Mexico is shallow, especially along the coastline, so we get storm surges. Not the same as tsunamis but similar. The storm surge from Hurricane Katrina was approximately 35 feet high. The surge comes in rather gradually like a very high tide that keeps rising and rising. I...

    Do you worry about the X-virus?

    :D Hubby had a plumber's snake stashed in the garage for emergencies.

    Do you worry about the X-virus?

    I was worried about clogging up the toilet with stuff like paper towels and coffee filters. In fact, I did stop up the toilet with a brand of toilet paper I'd never used before - a brand that is "fluffy" and thick. Fortunately, husband was able to use the plumber's snake (?) thingy to unclog...

    My dream life.

    I've been through dozens of hurricanes over the years, including Hurricanes Betsy, Katrina and Rita along the Gulf of Mexico coast. The winds and torrential rainfall come in cloud bands that spawn tornados and straight-line winds. If you're located directly under the eye, then suddenly, for...

    Do you worry about the X-virus?

    People hoarded toilet paper because suddenly everyone was stuck in their homes and using a heck of a lot more TP than usual at their homes. Companies that make TP stopped production because their workers were quarantined and there were supply chain issues. Suddenly, there was a lot less TP...

    Do you worry about the X-virus?

    I would handle another lockdown pandemic better than the last one, just because I'm now experienced in what to expect and what to do to protect myself and my family. I grow a lot of food and preserve a lot of it so I'd feel fairly secure about having enough to eat and not having to go to...

    What do you do for a living?

    I'm NT but I have a friend who is an autistic attorney. She specializes the disability claims and sets up Special Needs Trusts for many people, including my autistic nephew. She has an excellent reputation and I often refer people to her for representation.

    Me, too, April. I'm now retired, though.

    Why are we stupid enough to trust people then they hurt us?

    Why would you do that? No one here is blaming an entire gender for lack of trust issues.

    Winter is coming.

    I agree with @Outdated that you can't make a stew in the microwave. The meat would be extremely tough, and the flavors wouldn't coalesce or mingle together like a long, slow braise in liquid. You should get a crockpot! You might be able to make a decent chili in the microwave using ground...

    What a bad day. My therapist ended up being no good.

    Well, sort of. In the US, it's the patient's responsibility to know how much of a medicine they have on hand and to follow up with their prescribing physician to ensure they don't run out of an essential medication. Prescribing physicians and drug manufacturers have no liability for adverse...

    Winter is coming.

    I live in a place much like that. You'd get tired of constant hot weather really fast. ;) Tap water is generally fine everywhere in the US, too. Most people don't realize that tap water or "public" water is more highly regulated and tested than bottled water in the US. Not to mention...
