Glad to have you back, Mendalla. I hope you enjoyed your vacation. I saw a couple of videos about 'free men of the land' from the Ontario area. It is nice to know Canada has ignorant, crazy people too.

I did the ten-word story challenge today.
I hope everyone is doing well this holiday weekend.
I won twice last night at bingo, but no one won the big prize of $9,000. I hope to get a chance to win it Wednesday.
Ferocious predator silently stalks its prey. Cozy kitten attacks toe!
Verbal, that seems great! I hope you finally finished your pee. BTW, Jeff McNeil should enjoy this year. With his bat control and limited infield shifting, he could do better than his league-leading AVG. from last year.
I love Friday the 13th! 13 is my lucky number.
Good afternoon to all!
Aaron, my grandson, Is fine. However, he will be wearing a knee brace for a couple of weeks. Thanks, Verbal. I was a well-scouted catcher in high school until I broke my kneecap. A year later, I completely recovered. But no one scouts young catchers with knee injuries. I am sorry, Verbal, but I forgot your favorite baseball team. Who is it?
Gillian, the medication should be alright for a year or two past the expiration date. They set a date of 80-50% of the actual average date to be safe for drugs that do not require special handling. It is almost as bad in hospitals with that trifecta of respiratory diseases as it was at the worst of Covid.
Peace and health for everyone! JLYSDI! ❤️
In December, I saw 'Violent Santa.' It is a cross between 'Home Alone' and 'The Vikings.' It will bring a lot of tummy laughter and knee-slapping funny. My whole family liked it. We also watched the DC universe 'Black Adam.' One of the better DC superhero movies.
A week ago, Liz and I viewed the new 'Avatar' movie in 3-D. It was quite a good film. The vistas and world were absolutely amazing. It had exciting character development. It is what you expect from a three-billion-dollar movie. The weakest part was the idea that caused the conflict.
I am here at home waiting to hear about my grandson, Aaron. The school called earlier, informing us that he had a dislocated knee. Her mom went to take him to the hospital. We have not heard anything from them yet.
Kat, I hope you get better. Have you tried a dab of honey, a pinch of cinnamon, and a shot of whiskey? I recommend Jack in the black. 💖
So many people are going to the dentist. Just do not think about what the dentist could do with those instruments in your mouth. 🤣🤣
It is a bad day today. My brains are all mush. I could not get out of bed until the afternoon. The worse thing of all is I missed BINGO last night at the Maple Tree bar. JLYSDI!
It is a typical cold day in the Chicago area. I was up very late watching C-SPAN; that was a cluster duck. I have been binge-watching 'Supernatural' with 4-5 episodes a day. Have a great day, everyone.
The Chicago Cubs have made a few interesting moves in the off-season. They may even have a winning record in 2023.
I wrote my first sci-fi story in high school, and it was set far in the future... 2023.
It is nice being someplace where people know about Yogi, Quick Draw McGraw, and Baba Looey.
Hi, my friends.
I was in the hospital for ten days and got home on Friday. Today is the first day I could get online.
I hope everyone is well. I wrote about my time in the hospital, and then today, I read it while having a semi-normal mind. Gosh, it was awful! I could not understand half of it myself. Maybe I should post it entitled 'The Ravings of Madness.'
Tomorrow, I am going to NC for my father's funeral. He was cremated, and they were waiting for everyone to get well and be able to show up. I am lucky I got out of the hospital in time.
I hope you all are doing well and have a wonderful weekend.
My better half has cooked salmon tonight. Yummy! James, I finished reading 'The Bear and the Girl.' I greatly enjoyed it.
Peace and love to everyone!

Lewy Body Dementia, I think.

It’s called levity.
Anyone who’s dealt with dementia knows how challenging it is. I do. Currently dealing with it too. Moving someone in a supportive care home today. It’s brutal. I also know trying to make someone smile is better than trying to embarrass them or shut them down.
BTW, in high school, I was a thespian. I wore dresses on several occasions, including once in a black dress with a pair of gorgeous black six inches heels. With the prosthetics, I looked fabulous!
Hope you continue to mend, Sara. 😃
Everyone, have a great day. 🍺
Hi, everyone! 🍷
Sorry for my long absence. After the news of my father, My brain was pretty messed up. I had more than a week of bonkers and many bad days after that. I fell and broke a tooth which had to be pulled. I have an irrational fear of dentists, so that was a real struggle. My doctor found a suspicious mole on my neck that I will soon be excised. All of this may seem bad, but the real problem is the progress of my LBD. It has multiplied any real issues. I have had a hard time getting to SS.
My LBD has made the transition to the new site difficult. My whole life runs on a set schedule and routine. Dealing with change is difficult, yet I am trying to get used to the new format.
I have sorely missed your companionship in my daily life. I continue reading your stories, though slowly.
BTW, I have shaved off my rather large 'Santa Clause' like beard, and my youngest grandson took almost a week before he recognized me. It was pretty funny seeing everyone's reaction to the appearance of my face. I certainly hope it was not fear or disgust. 😀
I hope you all stay healthy and happy. ❤

Speaking of the Cubbies, you are right about that fire sale, Roland - but it also means you'll have fresh new talent and a smaller payroll to start fresh. Rosters get bloated after a World Series win. At least the Mets got a piece of that championship in Javy Baez.

Fittest players of any sport? Most physically strenuous sport to play?
Football (not US Stewie head-shaped throw ball) and hockey for the first question. Surprising to some, but not to those of us who played, squash was rated as the most physically taxing sport.
