If you want to know where to find me? I'll be at Rick's

Did you know there's a band named Primal Scream?

They are apparently known for the hit "Give Out and Don't Give Up".

I found them while hunting for a "Primal Scream" and only got that.

And FB is throwing this at me:

Dolly and Kermit singing Everyday People

I found out who won the election this morning via social media, then with fear and foreboding checked the news. My cousin in Illinois was posting "If you want to know where I'll be - I'll be at Rick's in Casablanca" and a picture of the American version of Rick's - because everyone goes to Ricks.



And a friend on both DW and FB, from Britain - posted a black circle and aghast.

It's quiet here. I hear machinery, but that's it and the normal sounds of a normal ordinary working day. The trees still, alarmingly, have their leaves, and they are mostly green. An ordinary fall day, except not, the effects of climate change apparent everywhere - in the temperatures and the leaves on the trees - if one opens up their eyes wide enough to notice. And my church is holding candlelight and prayer meditations at it all day long. Although, I'm thinking I may just take a walk through Greenwood Cemetery. Thankful I've never had any children and never will.

(no subject)

Don't know about anyone else? But I've been struggling with rage, grief, fear, and numbness all day long. And I really don't see a path forward or light ahead.

I'm just so angry. Anyone have jokes - something non-political to make me laugh.

Memage..

After taking a hot shower, I'm still too wired for sleep. Didn't help that my tub isn't draining fast - and requires snaking, which may take weeks to get the super to do.

An old acquaintance friend from my ATPOBTVS days, posted on FB that they felt for both the T supporters and the non-supporters in the US election. They are in England, and not affected by this mess, except peripherally.

I repost here, because I can't wrap my brain around it? ( Read more... )

7. Do you have a favourite apple?

Granny Smith - tart green apples. Really only one I eat regularly. The others are either too soft or too sweet.

8. In 1895 German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen produced and detected electromagnetic radiation in a wavelength range today known as X-rays or Röntgen rays. Have you ever had your feet X-rayed?


Recently. Both feet have been at least once. The left one twice, and recently in fact - about three weeks ago.

9. Wes Craven’s ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ premiered in the US in 1984. Have you ever seen it? Are you a fan of horror films?

Yes. Unfortunately. It gave me nightmares for a year. And there are scenes in it - I can't unsee. Johnny Depp's infamous death scene being among them - he's basically eaten by the bed. It remains ingrained in my memory forever.


10. If calories didn’t affect your weight and you didn’t have to worry about the health implications, what would be your favourite thing to eat as a treat every single day?


It's not calories that are the problem - but high blood sugar. Also gluten-intolerance. I've never bothered with calories. So, if those weren't an issue? I'd have bread, pasta, soft pretzels, bagels, pizza...but alas...I can't.

11. It’s Calista Flockhart’s birthday – did you ever watch Ally McBeal?

Yes, briefly. Calista Flockhart irritates me. I couldn't get through the first season. And yes, you kind of have to like Calista - she's in almost every scene. Be like watching Buffy and disliking Buffy.
