missing an old friend

I had a detailed dream last night about my earliest childhood friend. We’d been friends since we were toddlers. She died just a couple of years ago due to an illness. It was a great long friendship. It took me some time to come out from the dream this morning due to emotion. I miss her a lot. Janet.

I went to visit my friend’s mother several years ago before she, too, passed. She was pushing 100.

It was a little funny, because the mother looked me in the eye and asked, “were my children good children in the neighborhood?”

She really wanted to know.

I looked her in the eye and replied, “yes! They were good. They liked to play and cut up, but they always knew when to draw the line.”

The mother was pleased.

Driving home afterwards, I said to myself, “you lied your ass off on that one. They were total hellions.” lol.

I loved the entire family. Their house was a great sanctuary for me when things were difficult at my house.

toothbrush

What to do with these?

Every visit to the dentist gets a little package that has a toothbrush, floss, and toothpaste. I use the floss and toothpaste, but the toothbrush, I never will. I prefer an electric.

dental issues

Any decent dentist will offer sweets as part of the total care package.

What is this? Browser not supported. You must use… one of them is Firefox… and I’m using FIREFOX! It won’t let Vivaldi in either.

Is this 1995 again? You must use Internet Explorer?

I mean grow up. What nutcase wrote that site?

olympics opening on nbc

During the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics, the NBC commentators made a point of saying that the Ukrainian athletes would be going right by Vladimir Putin.

I thought, what is he going to do? Jump out in front of them? Throw a tantrum? Attack? Flip the bird? 🖕

No, he sat in his seat like any adult would. lol

olympics on nbc

We got a chance tonight to watch the recorded opening of the Beijing Olympics. As far as I could tell, NBC left few political stones unturned.

The audio output of my TV coupled with my high-frequency hearing loss means I could hardly make out any of it, so I was able to enjoy! 🗣 👂 👍
