Made me haPPy. ChiLLy weather can be painful for this old gal.<br /> <br /> Things are preTTy chiLL around these parts, but then we've never bEEn what you'd caLL a charged area for much of anything. Most of the people around this area are preTTy laid back. They do what is nEEded. We just don't have a lot of conspiracy people around these parts. I'm glad for that.<br /> <br /> Our restaurants have opened back up, but you nEEd a mask, and they have every other table shut down to aid in the social distancing thing. Their staFF also wears masks and gloves. Places for shoPPing are hit or miSS on the mask thing, but I wear one no maTTer if they require it or not.<br /> <br /> I don't go out a lot either. I was never one for the gym. Even before covid, I woRRied about what might be on those machines. So I'm puTTing a home gym in the extra rOOm in my basement. Even bought a portable two person sauna to set up in it as weLL. It's big enough I can put a small bench in it and just kind of kick back while I sweat it out. I'm puTTing peg board on one of the waLLs so I can hang items like my resistance bands, and other light weight stuFF, on the waLLs. That way, I won't have to use flOOr space for cabinets and such. I like the idea of having it aLL in my home and not having to woRRy about what someone else might have left on it. I'LL be the only one using it. <span class="emoticon e_smile" title=":)"><span class="e__">:)</span></span><br /> <br /> It's goNNa take some time to get it together the way I want, but I got time. No huRRy on the rOOm itself. I have frEE weights and a stationary recumbent bike in my livingrOOm, and a rowing machine I puLL out when I want to use it. Once the rOOm in the basement is ready, I'LL just move it aLL down into it. Until then, I can stiLL use it.<br /> <br /> If you've got some space in your place, maybe you could do up your own home gym tOO. I've talked to some people who have done it, and they aLL say they love having it. No fEEs. It's way convenient, and they love the privacy tOO. Might be something to consider. Depending on what you want to do, you may not nEEd much space. One guy just set up one of those bowflex type things in an empty corner of his bedrOOm and him and the wife love it.<br /> <br /> Might be worth lOOking into. <span class="emoticon e_smile" title=":)"><span class="e__">:)</span></span></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DDIGS&reply_to=122.45&return_msg=122.45" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="122.45"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a122_46"></a><div class="message" id="message_122_46"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: kell (ALANKELL)<span class="message_time">23 Aug 2021 01:22</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: DeannaG <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 5 Sep 2021 13:54"></span></span> <span class="message_count">46 of 73</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DDIGS&msg=122.46">122.46</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DDIGS&msg=122.45#a122_45" target="_self">122.45</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Not much space in the place, DeaNNa. I've never bEEn a gym rat and I don't got there often, but with Covid, seldom has transitioned nicely into zero. LOL. Maybe next year, I'LL try the gym again. It's a 24/7 place, so if I reaLLy want to give it a go, the late night hours are relatively quiet.<br /> <br /> No restaurants for us yet. They are open but we're not. Next year. Maybe. We're both vaCCinated but being around people makes me fEEl like I forgot to zip my pants.<br /> <br /> I got the fEEling preTTy early on that I'd be puTTing things oFF at least until 2022. Covid is stiLL busting full bore through my county, so none of this extracuRRicular stuFF for me. I help her make a Walmart run every ten days or so, I drive through fast fOOd places for us, I gas the car and make my neceSSary aPPointments. That's it. Strip everything to the eSSentials. I kEEp saying "next spring" for everything, but you can never put a solid date on Covid.

Covid sEEms to have it's own ideas about when it's going to blow over. It's like every time we start to make some progreSS, something else haPPens to blow everything off kilter. I'm geTTing a liTTle sick of aLL the sick anymore.<br /> <br /> On the work front it lOOks like we may finaLLy have enough people in our oFFice. We've got three trainEEs we're working on geTTing up to spEEd. Nice group of kids. I hope they last. This OT may be nice for the paycheck, but it's geTTing kind of old on the having a life front. Also, my boSS has informed me that as sOOn as they're gOOd to go, I'll be fuLLy 2nd shift, which means I can start seriously lOOking into schOOl for my aSSociates degrEE in TelecoMMunications. I can't wait!<br /> <br /> On the home front, got a guy wanting to take me out. Considering what Ed did to me and everyone else, I'm a bit lEEry. My sister is giGGling at me because they guys is 6ft 5in. She wants to know what I'm going to bring around next...maybe a trEE? As she put it. I told her to go bother the pygmy she maRRied. lol I don't know why I sEEm to aTTract taLL men. She thinks it's deliberate or something. No guy under 6ft has ever asked me out. I don't know why the taLL ones sEEm to like me. My mother thinks it's fuNNy tOO. lol<br /> <br /> My one sister sEEms to aTTract short, skiNNy men, the other short, round men, my mother motorcycle guys, and for some reason I tend to bring in taLL, husky guys. At least we're diverse.lol<br /> <br /> On shoPPing, I do most of mine online, then I don't have to actuaLLy go get it. ODDly enough, I sEEm to spend leSS money doing it that way as weLL. It's also easier on my legs. EventuaLLy I'd like to get my knEEs replaced,but I'm not situated to be able to do that yet.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DDIGS&reply_to=122.47&return_msg=122.45" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="122.47"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a122_48"></a><div class="message" id="message_122_48"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: kell (ALANKELL)<span class="message_time"> 6 Sep 2021 02:36</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: DeannaG <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 12 Oct 2021 05:45"></span></span> <span class="message_count">48 of 73</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DDIGS&msg=122.48">122.48</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DDIGS&msg=122.45#a122_47" target="_self">122.47</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Got a question for you, DeaNNa. Do you by chance have any of my old dark poems/stories saved somewhere? I don't expect you do...no big deal if you don't. I checked in the old Delphi forums where I still have aCCeSS...picked up 8 or 10 old pieces. Never thought about coLLecting them before. My fault for just leaving them around. I gueSS I thought aLL that stuFF would just sit there and wait for me.<br /> <br /> ALL the best on geTTing your degrEE. Can't hurt and can only help, and I hope you nail it.<br /> <br /> Absolutely no teLLing what, how and why people become aTTracted to each other. No rhyme or reason to it...it's a mystery to me, LOL.

I have some disks and flashdrives that have some old stuFF on them, but I haven't lOOked at them in so long I don't remember what they hold.<br /> <br /> Until things sort out in the oFFice, there isn't much I can do on the education front. My boSS does know what I want to do, and she's wiLLing to work with me on it as much as she's able. Hoping to get signed up for Spring claSSes. Couldn't make FaLL sign up. TOO busy at work with being short staFFed. Once the trainiEEs get up to spEEd, things should lOOsen up for the rest of us.<br /> <br /> I hear you on the aTTraction thing. It sEEms the beTTer a person you are, the more aSShats you draw towards you. Oh weLL. I'm preTTy haPPy with things as they are right now. I don't have to deal with anybody else's drama or buLL. I'm preTTy much seTTling into a nice quiet country life, and finding I like it. I value my peace and quiet more and more each day, and I have my fuRRy babies to kEEp my company. If I want human company, there are people I can get in touch with to talk, visit, or whatever.<br /> <br /> Alex is my special nEEds senior. I've been fostering him, but with the lack of interest from suitable parties, I think he's going to end up staying, which is okay. He's a true love bug, weLL maNNered, never scratches on the furniture, and uses the boxes. He loves to just cuDDle up and watch TV in the recliner with me. He does however like to go outside, which I don't like, but he never goes near the road. He always stays out back of the house. His favorite spot it just hanging in the big maple trEE about back. He's the only who actuaLLy goes outside. The rest just hang on the closed in back porch, and they're haPPy.<br /> <br /> They're aLL boys, but Beauty. She's the only girl at this time. Just sort of worked out that way.<br /> <br /> <img alt="Furry Babies" src="http://www.myimgs.us/1/upload/2021/10/12/20211012045331-a01e7677.jpg" style="width:400px;height:400px;" /><br /> <br /> I wiLL lOOk through what I have and let you know if I find anything of yours.

No one was reaLLy on their game this year. We lost Mom, and I just heard today we have another family member on their death bed. I fEEl for his ex-wife and kids, but him and I never liked each other, so I won't miSS him. He's the ex's older brother. Even before the ex puLLed the crap he did, I never liked his brother. FuNNy thing is, neither did he. The sister he never liked either, but I've always liked her. She's a true no buLL kind of gal, who'd do anything she could to help anyone she could. Her I'LL be soRRy to see go when her time comes.

So I opted for the mini pc, which takes up a lot leSS space, and actually has a faster proceSSor, more storage, more usb ports, and more RAM. Where it was important, it has more everything. I got a disk drive from Amazon for like $20, and I was off and roLLing. InstaLLed aLL my stuFF, but for CorelDraw, which I'm going to have get a new version. No big deal.

My best friend's wife is in poor health and has poor vision, and is in the hospital today after a faLL. Also, our acroSS-the-strEEt neighbor was taken in the ambulance today, cause unknown. We're aLL geTTing old, so stuFF like this is to be expected, but it ain't fun.<br /> <br /> Sounds like you've overcome whatever computer woes you'd had and are on the right track now. I trust having a reliable computer wiLL make your life easier. I can remember a time when I didn't rely on my computer, but those days are long gone. DuNNo what I'd do without it now, LOL.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DDIGS&reply_to=122.54&return_msg=122.45" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="122.54"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="message_page_footer"> <ul> <li class="right_col"><form accept-charset="utf-8" method="get" action="lmessages.php" target="_self"><input type="hidden" name="webtag" id="webtag" class="bhinputtext" value="DDIGS" dir="ltr" /><input type="hidden" name="msg" id="msg" class="bhinputtext" value="122.55" dir="ltr" /><input type="submit" name="submit" id="keep_reading" value="Keep reading…" class="button" /></form></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body>
