This will be a two part reply. This one to comment on things I quoted. I did skim the past two weeks so may have missed some things. Then I'll make another post about our trip.
It's funny how when you get away from the computer it is easy to let it go.
he either called CPS on Friday or had someone do it for him. We got a visit Friday night, was quite a shock. Was a shock to DD's attorney also.
Hope this gets sorted out. DD works as a social worker in child welfare. Sometimes it isn't easy.
@footballmouse, I also am not a tattoo person but that was cute and tasteful.
Now if he could get social security to call me back
Good luck! DSIL's husband died in April and she had a time getting it straightened out.
The crackheads next door finally got their grass cut. It was taller than my chain-linked fence
Glad your district/county/whatever has a code about grass. I called the county about a neighbor's home that hasn't cut the grass in two years and there is no code here.
Odd experience at Walgreens this evening.
Which one? DD had made an online appt for her booster at the Middletown Walgreens for Tuesday. She stood in line and they told her they didn't have a record of it and didn't do walk ins. So, she got it the next day at
Walmart.
DH and I got our boosters yesterday through the county health department. I feel a little achy and with a headache today but not too bad. We both had COVID tests Tuesday after getting back from Florida. Got the results in less than 24 hours - negative.
Hope Carol is having a great time in FL!
We did,and are already planning to go back.
Is anyone else recording any of the Hallmark movies this weekend?
Not me. Too early. I am off Hallmark until after Thanksgiving.
"What is your definition of happiness?"
I am happiest with all my family together. That and good health.
He says I thought you might want to help me out.
If he continues, I would speak to the police.
I'm in Southern Maryland.
DDIL worked at Pax River and lived in Lexington Park until she married DS. Now they live in Dunkirk.
My 3 tomato plants are still growing
I am still getting tomatoes too,
I want to do the auto train so bad but keep on pushing it back to 'next time'. Did you get a sleeping car or are you doing coach?
This is our 4th or 5th time on the auto train. When we made the reservation, we had coach but upgraded to roomette due to increase COVID. There is a lot of info about it on the transportation board.
It is. We don't have a supplemental and have so much more coverage than when we had to buy our own insurance as self employed/contract workers. We are the few who really like our Medicare.
Also a reminder for any Quackers who feel comfortable doing so and who have not already, when Carol comes home, reach out to her. I know she was keeping a list of Quacker email addresses for just such purposes as Dis outages or trouble so we could all still be in touch. Carol, I hope this was okay to post as a reminder!
I have fallen down on doing that. I will have to try harder.
QOTD: Are your medical and dental memories good ones, or hard ones?
I did not like the dentist we went to when growing up. We went to him because he had lived upstairs from my parents in their first apartment. I remember him dropping my retainer on the floor, poking me in the gum with a finger nail, and filled teeth without Novacaine. I went to college and had to see a dentist and discovered Novacaine. I ws 18 and never went back to him again but switched dentists. Then when I was looking for a dentist for my DD, we tried several before going to "Tommy's dad." One of the kids in her 3 year old preschool class had a father that was a dentist. After he came and talked to the class, we went there. I still see him.
I never had any MD problems. If I didn't like someone, I switched. I still go to the the same gyn from before I was married, so more than 37 years. I will hate when he retires.
@easyas123, you mentioned Christmas gifts. I picked a couple of things I saw in Maine and Florida for my kids and grandkids.
I am sure my PCP will want to give me anti anxiety meds. Plus I don't want to gain weight back or have trouble taking off more pounds. Most of those meds lead to weight gain.
I started Sertraline, generic for Zoloft, a year ago. It does not have weight gain as a side effect. I am on a low dose and it really helps my anxiety.
A lot of people today use Melatonin.
My DH tried that and it gave him such vivid dreams that he stopped.
Have any of your young people gotten boosters?
DD has because of her job. DS should and is looking into it. DH and I are done.
What would happen if you let the sheets go for a week or two? I wonder if that’s something that’s aggravating your back?
I agree with this.
You seem to have been run down for a long time now, I wonder if you might benefit from going in?
/another good idea, Maybe your ER visit will give you a break and some answers,
Ds1 told me yesterday that one of the guys on his soccer team mom was killed.
That was a terrible story,
Tom is home and recovering very well.
Wonderful!
QOTD - What meat prices have shocked you lately?
I rarely buy beef. Chicken here hasn't changed.
I am getting a ton of virus pop-ups,
I was getting that today too.
It is dreary and windy and cold today. Waiting for the rain. I just made black bean soup for lunch. DH suggested carry out tonight which I think I will agree to.
Be back later with a trip report.
.
to all. Know, if I disappear it's because of those pesky ads 
to all!
