Update for Everyone VII: Insert Something Philosophical Sounding Here

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

found out today that earlier this week, a cousin's 15-yr old daughter died. seems to have been a suicide.    her family did not know she was struggling.

only knew her from fb and when her aunt and uncle spoke about her, but in any case I'm saddened and a bit shook and really feeling bad for them and her family.

So yesterday I went out for dessert and got two pies, come home, see my mom was already making a pie to which I wasn't aware, and we were having people over, whom I told previously we had dessert covered, and they brought more pie. I now have 4 pies.

Here stands before you a woman who never thought she'd find herself saying this, but for once in my life, I have too much pie.

I’m fittingly enough in a similar boat.

Thing is moisture accumulates on that stuff easily. I’m not well positioned to keep it. Love pumpkin, though. I’m at the age where I buy it for myself during the fall.

I don't normally disclose what goes on in my life these days because for the most part (especially this past October... some of you know why), things have been... just dreadful really, but for the first time in a while I'm actually feeling optimistic about stuff.  My mom and I recently joined a new church.  I'm starting to get out of the room more.  We found a new community and people have been really helpful and accommodating to us.  The hotel we're staying at even dropped us off *a lot* of food the other day so that we could have a good Thanksgiving.  The first one in years.

That, and with the midterms behind us it's nice to not have to worry about checking polls constantly.  For a while, anyway.

Also, I didn't share this earlier but my piggies have a new cage mate.



I named her Tipper.

Thank you.

Scott I'm glad things are looking more hopeful for you.

Sorry for your loss Shua

I named her Tipper.

Nice, after Gore’s ex wife?

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

Thanks, guys.

Lol.  It rhymes with "chipper" and I just think it's a cute name.

Chelsea was also on my list of names FWIW.

So I just ate more than everyone else in my family and I wake up this morning and am hungry still.

Made the mistake of having drinks with my family. They decided this was the best moment to talk about my grandma's Alzheimer's and how it's so bad she likely won't recognize us within the next year. And to bring up how heavily it runs on my grandpa's side and he might end up like that too. My chest hurts from holding back how much it hurt to hear it out loud from everyone else.

That's terrible, I'm so sorry. Alzheimer's is truly horrible.

Waiting for my flight at the Newark Polaris Club. No TVs on college football Saturday. At least lunch was good.

I had a nice week out East for Thanksgiving, but when I got home at 10 pm tonight I found there was no hot water and water all over the basement. Sometime during the week the hot water heater gave up the ghost. Fortunately the company I've used for 30 years has 24 hour service. The tech is here now and hopefully I'll have a new water heater in about an hour. It's probably good that he could come out tonight since we have a winter storm warning for tomorrow.

added - the new heater is in, but we'll have the occasional spurt from the faucets until all the air is out of the lines.

Sorry to hear that. Glad things are seemingly being rectified.

Thanks, and it was fortunate that we got things fixed Sat night since the area is shut down after a heavy wet snowfall. My lilacs are a third of their normal height, so I'll have to wait for spring to see what survives. There's also no cable service, including internet, so I have to rely on cell service to write this. I'm supposed to drive downstate for a meeting late this afternoon and tomorrow, but the roads aren't in very good shape yet.
