I know people complain about hospital fOOd aLL the time, but our's actuaLLy preTTy gOOd most of the time. They do make a few things that make you want to hurl, and they need to lay oFF the salt in some of them, but in general they do very gOOd. I love their chicken potpie soup and their chicken and dumplings soup. Their chili ain't bad either most of the time.<br /> <br /> I'm soRRy to hear so many of your neighbors and friends are having a rough time. I hope aLL goes weLL for them aLL.<br /> <br /> Found out I have a stalky neighbor. He told our neighbor out back he's goNNa get some of me. I'm thinking NOT HAPPENING! I don't date people I work with with or live in the same neighborhOOd. I've sEEn both end up bad for a bunch of people. Not faLLing, walking, or ruNNing into that meSS. Nope! Besides I like being on my own.<br /> <br /> I can do whatever I want whenever I want, and I don't have to cater to anyone else. I sort of fEEl like I'm an arthritic tEEn. ALL the experience I've gained, and no one to be responsible for or to but me. My girls woRRy about me being alone, but I just kEEp teLLing them there is a big diFFerence betwEEn being alone and being lonely. I don't think they quite get it yet, but one day they might. I'm an old antisocial bitch, but at least I'm haPPy. <span class="emoticon e_smile" title=":)"><span class="e__">:)</span></span><br /> <br /> Yep. We've had a bit of cold, but nothing we're not used to preTTy much used to this time of year. I've got a fuLL tank of fuel and $400 credit with my fuel company if I nEEd a refiLL, so I'm gOOd to go. Bought a snow blower and finaLLy had a reason to use it. My yard guy comes over and runs it for me. Him and his wife don't want me toDDling, as they put it, up and down my driveway. They're woRRied I'LL faLL.<br /> <br /> I don't imagine you guys are enjoying the cold. You're probably not used to it like we are up here. How the suPPort systems handling it?

Weather suPPort systems? We've got trucks that spread salt on the highways, mostly on bridges and overpaSSes. Closest snowplow is probably in Tulsa. Maybe 350 miles north. Got a lot of bayous, though, and frEEways, so that means lots of bridges and overpaSSes.<br /> <br /> Careful about threats made against you. People have always bEEn weird, and COVID isn't making them anything but weirder. A crazy guy wiLL think you'LL learn to like him once you've had a taste, and I'd hate that you're in jail for staBBing or shOOting his dumb aSS.<br /> <br /> Turns out faLLing is no joke. I haven't spoken with my neighbor since she's been home from the hospital, but it was a faLL that laid her up. If you have a friend who isn't tOO weird, let him help you with the outside chores.<br /> <br /> A hospital can't screw up their fOOd bad enough I won't eat it, unleSS they make it entirely salt frEE.
