INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Intereresting article Sas, thanks.

Metereologists here say there is still a lot of unpredictablility, but they are forecasting high winds and rain for Monday. Also high seas.

Certainly hoping to get the garden furni put away for the winter on Sunday!

We do quite often get the tail end of American hurricanes over here, after they spin across the Atlantic as storms. Of course when I tease DH about this he says they originate in the Gulf of Mexico so are not American hurricanes.

Darn I just burned tomorrow's breakfast again. Thought the smell was from the bad outside air.

Lover, you have a wonderful sense of humor.

Ms. Sas, we here in the valley are ok. Just bad air. I can't watch the news. It's too much. I don't want to think about what happened to the domestic and wild animals. I heard we had a small earthquake this afternoon near Ukiah north of us, the same fire-ravaged area....as if the people there don't have enough stress.

Feline, I got a chance to watch one of the four episodes of Firechasers. Good documentary. DH is right about the hurricanes. Ha!

MammaRay, I hope you at home in the comfort of your bed.

Blue, wonder if viscous lidocaine to numb the throats would help calm the beast.

Sassy,

Thank You!!

Your *Pain and Other Things* thread has given Lita57 helpful information.

*Owlettes* ;o))

MammaRay....

Lover - I hardly dare say it out loud but (whispers) we're fine right now. Like you, I just can't watch too much of the fire coverage as it totally stresses me out. Whenever the Santa Anas kick up, I get nervous. But it's a glorious fall day here - bright blue sky, lots of sun and the trees look calm. We have our tote box with our important papers - the cat carriers are always ready to go - and I learned in the last two evacuations that stuff is just that.

Glad you're OK. Sure wish some rain would head the way of this poor state!

Just took a sip of water from new clean glass and a fake lady bug was on rim and peed in my mouth making me spit and curse and reach for the nastiest tasting thing near me, a throat spray, and use it then a cherry lozenge. Reminds me of a story I wrote, this really teed off Hubby though. He was hot. http://www.womens-fiction.com/short-stories/gracie...

LoverofLife I was going to suggest that you cut off the burned and you did. They do look do-able, I just don't know in what context. Perhaps smokey da bear potato salad.

Sas - yes, exactly and damn it. Paintball is perfectly coined. I personally call it throwing more drugs at it. Now I will use this to define your phrase, the paintball theory.

I was going to ask for the cultures and it was on the list and I forgot. But she wanted me on the strongest and it sounded good at the moment. Besides I was going to end up in hospital if untreated. I was barely walking yet again. And am feeling better today. Even navigated a store today for groceries, walker and breaks. Coughing spasms still going on. I am thinking to start Tesslon Perls in morning while I am near an ambulance station. It may help the spasms.

The soup will now be a gourmet creamy chicken mushroom - not adding dumplings, just another box of broth. He is a lucky man.

Reminds me of his Thanksgiving turkey f up. He was told to start it in huge electric roaster at 8am. I woke and the house smelled of roast turkey and I think it has to be NOON! and sister was due now. But no. He had started the turkey at 4am. It was now 8 am. Done turkey. But it was the best ever, tender, juicy. We called everyone to come early and have Thanksgiving brunch.

Last week, Italia sausage and pasta. I wanted only a half jar of sauce on sausages after mine wa taken out, I cannot eat the sauce except a taste on my tongue, I cough. So he doesn't use the sauce at all. But that half jar already opened was the reason for that meal. So I insisted he heat the sauce and put a little on my place, a little. And he dolloped about a cup on top of everything. So pleased w himself. His hearing aides are new and improved so I just don't know. I am personally calling the hearing aid man tomorrow.

Here's a BC rant or something I wrote a long time ago. Someone commented they liked it and I forgot I wrote it until now. Hope it doesn't offend anyone and that it does make some feel less alone. http://www.womens-fiction.com/myths/breast-cancer-...

Loverly or Sassy - I can't remember which one of you had the burnt pot, but here is a post from FB that I think may be helpful in restoring your pot.

hi all, been lurking and gone. First, feline, be safe. First hurricane in over 100 years! And this year they have been showing our hurricanes coming from Africa. Who knew?

Just got back from my last retreat for this year. Short distance away. Got these done

First one is our new opportunity quilt without the borders yet. 8 people made the stars, I put them all together. Hopefully I’m going to have help with the borders. The second one is for the president of the guild. She gets a quilt for being president.

Evie and family moved back home from CO! DGS will be living with them. Haven’t had a chance to visit them yet.

The air quality is much better. It is sad to see all the homes destroyed. Surprising that a housing development would do that. Many wineries are gone. If you like California wines, you better stock up. It’s going to be awhile before Napa is able to produce again.
