interesting discussions here and even about members. I'd love to know the professions and ages of this "close knit group" but know when I do post a topic, it might get 1 or 2 hits and often no hits...sooooooooooooooo

Get busy some of you interesting members...

Mix it up here, anything new and interesting that comes to your mind, post it here.....we just lost a high profile TV news person and he was well known in Hollywood too for his apperance on the Red Carpet -- Sam Rubin only 64 and it's being reported heart attack, I have my thoughts on the cause.

I was holding on to a extreme dark choc bar that I did not like, just too bitter but was not throwing it away as I paid over $3 for it, well out it went this morning., I'm proud that I let it go...

Yeah, very sad about Sam! ::(

Also all of LA was struck with a Spectrum outage, cable and Internet. IDK if it affected Santa Monica? It was all day here , 4AM till 8:30 PM it was restored!

When I turned on radio today and went to NPR, a Prodcast was on regarding a baby being born and it's first breath. If the newborn doesn't cry, the medical staff immediately takes action, because there is a very short window of time in which to save the baby. The old technique of holding babies upside down and slapping their back is not done anymore,

I'll bet when a baby is being born at other than a hospital the old technique is most likely used....


No Bonnie no outage here. That was a long one you all experienced.

NeMo's Cakes Squares

I don't get excited about sweets but really enjoy NeMo Carrot Cake squaes and don't get them often. A special market I sometimes have delivery from sells them and I stock up and freeze them for when I get the urge. They seem to be sold in a lot of places. There are a variety of cakes one can find.

I don't think a day goes by when UFO stuff is not on my news sources. Coast to Coast radio is heavy in UFO and ET and way out stuff....

Me, I tend to lean that UFO's have never visited earth. Why would they want to come here and disappear just as fast? Lots of highly immaginary humans writing on this for decades.

A CNA at a rehab I was in for my knee issues yrs ago had a strong belief in UFOs and liked to talk to me as I would hear him out....

There surely are some here with an interest in this so will anyone post???

Young gal yawns, ends up with lock jaw... This reminds me to be
cautious when I yawn, so far never had the issue. Rather scarey to
think it could happen.

https://www.insideedition.com/new-jersey-woman-seeks-medical-help-after-lockjaw-leaves-her-mouth-frozen-open-while-yawning-87332

The newscaster says one can yawn 20 times daily, not me, maybe 3 or 4 times top....

Adding to MY Mix:

A man on our Senior Group reported how great his knees are doing since drinking 1 cup of green tea daily for 6 weeks.....I drank a lot of green tea over the years but NONE in over `10 yrs or more.

It contains compounds called catechins, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Some studies have suggested that green tea may be helpful for reducing inflammation and pain associated with conditions like arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.


If I decided to go for this now, it would mean not drinking my ,morning cup of great coffee...or just 1/2 cup of coffee and cup of green tea...Actually I drink my coffee about 11:30 AM or so, I start my day late.....The tea for pain sounds inviting.

So much indifference here....

More stuff for some of you thinkers..

Mass mental illness exploding across Western civilization: Transgenderism, climate cultism and more, Western civilization is increasingly being defined by the mass mental illness now sweeping across society. Some people believe they need to cut off their genitals to be "normal," and others think they will merge with the machines to become immortal cyborgs.

Interesting observation here. I get deliveries, cooked foods, and other type deliveries and when I happen to see the delivery person, covid masks are worn by the Asians. At the beginning of covid, I had a helper who was Asian but would not continue to help me since I would not abide by the so called rules being thrown around and they are still being thrown around...grrrrrrrrrrr

Thinking about the wonderful afternoon I had. My family took me out to lunch for my birthday (A day late) Then we went to The Great Lakes National cemetery to visit Dave who passed 2 years ago in June. He is in a beautiful spot on a large pond with a lot of waterfowl. Saw some Sandhill cranes and a lot of geese.

Thats very nice Penny :)

I devote a great deal of my time doing "volunteer work" for a charitable organization. Just this past week I spent an entire evening in meetings. We disbursed checks totaling over $5,000.00 to food banks, children's homes, homeless shelters, and other non-profits. Now I have to spend even more time typing up the meeting minutes.

It's a big commitment. Because my dad was heavily involved with this group prior to his death nearly 25 years ago (and I was assisting him back then), I've been expected to continue in his absence.

biff, that's wonderful, there are a lot of people out there who do help a lot of others in many ways;. Hearing a psychologist the orther day on raising dopamine and seratonin in one's brain, is giving to others.....It can be a real high... It is for me. Just saying thanks and receiving thanks is a high.

To the Mix:

My neighbor guy just did some things for me, simple but things I cannot do and brought me a few whole foods things, so he's feeling some good dopamine and seratonin highs as am I, as I gave him some new candy I'm trying....We are both giving people but my giving is limited ......

I'm enjoying watching a Petticoat Junction weekend binge marathon on Catchy comedy. Right now they are showing the older , rarer black and white episodes .:)

I am forever hearing about the collapse of the dollar and the rising costs of silver and gold, just got this alert again.....Is it a lot of fearmongering or real???????

It is just alot of fearmongering. Think I told you before that videos from fearmongers and alarmist are dime a dozen on Youtube where they are more about getting more views on their Youtube channels (more views equal more advertisement money) than stick with the facts. And it is working. Just look at some of their channels and they get more than million views in matter of days. And they are the ones that are laughing all the way to the bank.

A member's take on the dollar

This didn't just happen and people have warned about it since the Federal Reserve was instituted. But, yes, the dollar is and has been collapsing for a century. One dollar is now worth approximately $0.00032 cents. The inflation has increased faster, recently with Biden throwing money in the toilet, so people notice it more now and it is in the news as we scramble to figure out what to do and to push cbdc--probably worldwide. One fiat currency to rule them all.

The leaders keep spending and wasting and fed keeps printing bucks...where will it all END??

According to my estimation, dollar usually lose about 1/3 of it value every decades. For example, I bought a brand new basic truck back in 1990 for $8,000, and now the same basic truck with no extra accessory cost around $22,000. And same thing with my rent. My rent was about $250 in 1990's and now is around $700. So a dollar in 1990's now is worth about 33 cents.

$700 rent!!! Makes me wonder what quiet little burg you live in...When I moved into my CA apt in 1991, rent was about $650 and it's now $1.029. this is in Hollyweird land.

$700 rent!!! Makes me wonder what quiet little burg you live in...When I moved into my CA apt in 1991, rent was about $650 and it's now $1.029. this is in Hollyweird land.

$1000 dollars rent for California is not too bad as I thought it be more than that. My brother live in Seattle and he said one can't find apartment for rent less than $1200. I live in mid-south outside city limit so rent is little bit cheaper. Inside city limit the rent is about $800-$900 for one or two bedroom apartment. The rent and living expenses is cheaper in the south than west or east coast, but on the same note that wages are also lower in the south.

My rent it's said is low, as 2 apts that were empty for a long while and were being remodeled etc I'm hearing one rented for almost $3K and the other close to $4K...the gouging has escalated since covid and yet I keep hearing more and more new bldgs in the works....it's insand, nuts, etc...and yes it's true the coasts are higher in all ways. My 1 bdrm apt is 700 sq ft. We use to say we really pay for the SUN but the recent gouging, I don't know what we call it. All so unreal and so many NOT employed...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Oh and what made CA so outlandishly pricey is the HollyWeird mega business...and eventually aerospace and along came TECH..

Ripping out Fire Hydrants to Get Valuable Metals

https://abc7.com/post/fire-hydrant-theft-rise-los-angeles-county/14910706/

Illegals from all over the world want to eat...as do Legals who have lost their employment, the Reset.

I added new info and maybe one of you might want to read. Any fire hydrants being ripped out in your towns??? Or is my state the most fortunate for this destruction?

Thats horrible to do that,where will they get water if needed??

My only question about stealing Fire Hydrants is how can they steal it with so much city water pressure pushing against it. Even Firemen are required to wear protective gear when dealing with Fire Hydrants as to not accidentally get blown away by water pressure.

Are you assuming that or is that a fact? Immigrants are some of the hardest working people around and they usually do the hardest jobs (or lowest paying jobs) that nobody else wants. Who do you think do the low paying service jobs, or labor intensive jobs like construction, or go out in the field under scorching sun picking fruit off the ground.

Golden, I hear you about the water pressure, and I don't know, maybe they have learned to work arount that one.....good point thou...

And you probably don't live in a state being swamped with 1000s
of illegals....and we have an overabundance of legals out of work...door dash and delivery jobs are what is available, and most probably don't have DL's and even auto insurance, everything has gone thru the roof or haven't you noticed????

I've had a few delivery people for my groceries and they don't speak a lick of english.... You could be very far removed from all t his....

Another worthless waste of our tax money:

The word “Juneteenth” is a Black English contraction, or portmanteau, of the month “June” and the date “Nineteenth.” Juneteenth celebrates the date of June 19, 1865, when enslaved people of African descent located in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom from the slavery system in the United States.
