I did my share of fretting today.

I have this little preview thing on my email that shows me pictures of what I will be getting in today’s mail.

This morning it showed that I was getting two pieces of mail from the IRS.

O Boy!  The IRS!  Hot diggity.  I normally get my mail around 4 in the afternoon, so you can imagine I was fretting up a storm for most of today.

When it arrived, it turned out to be nothing.  There were 2 pieces because one was a duplicate, and it pertained to people being allowed to do something extra with their 401K plans.  Did not pertain to me at all.

Wouldn’t you think that the IRS would know that our 401K was closed out years ago?  They seem to know everything else about you.

Didn’t do much today, but hadn’t planned to.

I really have to get out tomorrow.

I don’t get headaches, ever, but I have a slight headache today.  That is very unusual for me and it’s really annoying.

I am also really ticked off about the absurd attack on the Amish.  What a totally senseless thing for Canada to do.  Those people don’t even use the technology for the stupid app.

Speaking of government stupidity.  Had a brief conversation with my brother-in-law today and he was livid because he had to provide documentation  (yet again) for his “real ID” driver’s license.  He has done all of this at least once before (if not twice).  He had to drive all the way to York, PA, which is a bit of a haul for him.

There is far too much government.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Canada suing some Amish for not having a phone app. How ridiculous can it get?

This is a little long, but the bottom line is that several Amish families during Covid went back and forth across the Canada/US border, as they always did.  They were supposed to have an “app” somehow for their crossings.  An app?  Amish people don’t even use land lines, let alone cell phones.  I smell religious persecution here and it stinks badly.

These fines would be ruinous to that community.

Rescued dogs are often so willing to forgive and love.

The way these dogs forgive is amazing.  As is their capacity for love.

Byron the Quokka vs. Joe Collidge: It’s War REPRINT

G’day! Why did the quokka cross the road?

To try to get some views!

Byron the Quokka here, mates; and it looks like our little bet with Joe Collidge, over who can get the most views, is getting out of hand. Joe has his whole Student Soviet compulsively clicking onto his last post. Good thing they forgot you have to turn the computer on first. Like, if you don’t see anything on the screen, there’s nothing there.

Here at Quokka University, we don’t cheat but we’ve only got the one computer and everybody here has already seen my last TV listings. So we are relying on humans who do not live on Rottnest Island to help us hold our own against those wackos at the college. We do not want to lose the bet and have to give that simpleton an honorary degree from Quokka University–and be laughed at by wombats for the rest of our lives.

Give us a leg up, eh?

Just had to post this good news

Little girl found safe in woods–with dogs.

An announcement.

Today is the one year anniversary of Lee’s passing.

Sometimes it seems like it was a few days ago, and at others, years ago.

I won’t be posting on the blog today, I am just taking the day off to remember all the good times.

Bear with me, I will be back tomorrow.

Have a good day all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

So you can’t have 2 good days in a row

The title says it all.  Yesterday was really good–accomplished a lot.

Last night I woke up around 3 AM feeling positively awful.  I can’t really describe how I felt.  My COPD felt worse, but it wasn’t that.  I had no pain, no fever, no nothing.  I debated–asking myself if I wanted to go to the ER at that hour, and I really did not want to.  So I decided to drink some water.  I’ve mentioned before about not drinking enough, it’s a truly bad habit.  I find that by the end of the day, on many days, I end up just having drunk 2 cups of coffee for the whole day.  I have wine before and during  supper, (total wine 8 ounces) with a great deal of ice.  I use about one and a half ice trays with that (for which wine purists would cut my heart out).  And I eat very large portions of vegetables every night as part of my supper(another good source of water), but I still think it’s not enough.  So now, I have started (today) drinking water.  I have spring water delivered, so there’s always good cold water on hand.  In about an hour I felt fine and was able to go back to sleep easily.  So I guess I’ve figured out that problem.  I hope so.

We’ll see how it goes tonight.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.
