Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I also am a knocker over of stuff, and a talker to stuff.

I talk to everything. Cats, furniture, inanimate objects, software I'm using, content repositories ...

Me:"You're supposed to tell me where the errors are BEFORE this happens."

Mr. Loomy: "Who are you talking to?"

Me: "Salesforce Lightning Knowledge."

Hah, t, wanna come tell my puppy that, too?? He's a barking mess and so far every method I've tried has failed. Spraying with with water he thought was a fun game. Adding vinegar or lemon juice to it was tasty fun! The bitter apple I bought to stop him chewing on things? Yummy! Shaking a jar full of coins? Quick, bark more! Ignoring him until he's quiet? Quick, mom can't hear me so let me climb out of this pen and come find her and help her! Oy. We did go to the puppy play place today and he finally by the end of the half hour played for a while, which I'm hoping wore him out some. I just want to naaaaaap.

Oh, meara, you got yourself a cute little bundle of trouble and smarts, don't you? In my experience, those little devils don't listen to me at all. But good luck!

Glad to know I am not the only one occasionally lecturing inanimate objects.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Another work week done. Not that the weekends around here are all that exciting nowadays.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I saw a post...somewhere, I forget, complaining that Biden isn't forging a new start, he's reactivating Obama's admin. These folks are expecting fireworks and magic shows to make everything better. They fail to recognize how *much* 45 has urgently, gleefully, driven-ly dismantled, broken, wrecked, and thrown away. It's going to take *years* just to get back to the point where Obama left office--if we even make it all the way back. There'll be necessary changes, the world hasn't been static while 45 and his minions have been pulling things apart and throwing them in the dumpster--or in the mudhole, or into the swamp, or down the well. Spoilage and wreckage has been the watchword, and the focus and aim of the 45 admin. If it were possible to just wave my wand and make the last four years disappear--a do-over--I'd do it. But it isn't. We have to gain back the ground we've lost, and make allowances for world changes while we do that.

Not one person on earth could walk into the White House in January and mend the damage while instituting miraculous life-changing policies right off the bat.

And the hardest thing to accomplish is to foster disregard, disdain, disapproval, and any other dis that comes to mind, on all the doomsayers and critics (who have no concrete designs to make anything better, just the platform to criticize)

Rambling, sorry. But the disdain for IQ of the American public plus the lack of willingness to *work together* to accomplish positive progress for everybody--both are sadly lacking. And while we're gorilla-gluing the republic back together we need to be taking America to pre-school and Sunday School and any other formative experience...to teach everyone they *should* absolutely care about each other.

While driving if I see a car at a crossroads stop sign creep forward I'll deliver a stern, "Stay!" They inevitably stop, and as I pass safely, I say approvingly, "Good car."

Hasn't failed me yet.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I did some texting today for a Dem candidate for Arkansas State Senate. - The intro text says her name, TWICE and Arkansas State Senate. The # of people who respond TRUMP 2020 is puzzling.
