Hi Ladies,
I have the Q on. It’s the last day of CIJ so it’ll be Christmas all day. The TSV is Bethlehem lights. I ordered the 9′ garland in the white. It sure looks beautiful.
I don’t know when the protests will stop. The Feds are leaving & the state police are coming in. The local police cleaned out the people who were occupying the parks across the street from the fed. bldg.
They do to protesting overnight. They start gathering around sunset, but the violence starts after midnight & ends around dawn. So then volunteers do the clean up the next morning.
Did anyone watch the funeral for John Lewis this morning? I missed a good portion of it, but I did see
former Pres. Obama give his eulogy to him. I missed the others tho. Don’t get me started on a$$hole in the White House!!!! He’s CRAZY!!! I wonder what the rest of the country thinks of his rudeness? I hope he loses in a landslide!!!
Hey don’t be too upset about the girls not having their licenses yet. They have time!! I was in my 30s before I got mine!! I took drivers ed in high school & my father blew a gasket!! He would NEVER let me drive the car, or get me a car!!! It’s a good thing they don;t live in this day & age!! The kids would never survive.
It was hot again today, but cooler air off the Pacific is coming in. Looking forward to that!!
I can’t believe Aug. starts on Sat.!!!
I never heard of a watermelon exploding like that. Weird. I hope they got it all cleaned up, cuz it really stinks when it gets hot.
Better get going, take care, stay safe!!

I’m sitting here with a movie on, Jaws. With all the news about sharks & shark attacks it brought Jaws to mind.
We had a nice cooler day Tues, but it’s heating up again. It should cool off for the weekend. It’s not up to 100, at least. Yeah, with all that construction they did yrs ago, you’d think they would’ve put in some kind of cooling system. But no, not for us anyway. they made sure the offices got it tho.
I hope you’re feeling better Barbara. the heat gets to me too. I get sleepy in the afternoon. OH gosh, I almost passed out reading about the snake. I;m terrified of them!!! I’m glad the guy didn’t get bit.
Adele, I’m surprized you believe in mediums. I think they;re a scam. You do know that when you see a butterfly or a cardinal it means a loved one is there. we don’t have cardinals out here. We have crows instead. I hate em!!
I must’ve slept on my left side or neck wrong cuz it hurts to turn my head to the left today, always something hurting.
the protests continue nightly. At this point it’s pointless. From what I gathered from the news today, some of the Fed. officers will be leaving soon, but some will remain.
Well, I guess that’s all for now.
I’m safe from the protests, as they’re downtown & I’m far enough away I can’t even hear the noise.
take care, stay safe.

I hope everyone is okay. Is anyone in the path of any of the storms? I know one hit Texas & one is headed to Hawaii, but I thought there was a third one, but maybe I misunderstood.
It got up to 100 today & expected to again tomorrow..UGH. It was the hottest July 26th on record. Two yrs ago most of July was in the 90s, but so far I could count the # of days 90 or above on one hand. The first half was cooler than normal. Yay!!
I took pics of my apt so I’ll try to send em along with this post. Like I told ya before I sit here pretending I’m on my private island(s).
Boy, what a weekend for losing stars. Regis on Friday, Olivia de Havilland, & John I Saxon within hrs of each other. I watched Regis since the beginning. He was hilarious. I sure missed him when he left. I’m not crazy about Ryan Seacrest at all. Regis was just himself, no pretense. and when he’d show up on David Letterman my ribs would ache from laughing so hard. Aside from Johnny Carson, nobody could make me laugh like Reege.
I have a feeling I won’t sleep much tonight. The bedroom will be an oven since I don’t have AC in there. We don’t have central air here. And we’re not allowed window ACs so we have to use portable type. and it;s a big hassle to move this one in there. I’m not set up for it in there anyway.
Well, I guess I better go for tonight.
take care & stay safe.
ddin reply to: Quacker Talk-July 2020 #115363Hi Ladies,
Just a quick note. I’m fine. I’m safe. the protesters aren’t near me. they’re way downtown, not close by to me. At least 2-3 miles from here. I can’t even hear the noise.
I’m still in lock down. I go to the store occasionally. Masks are required wherever you go. Some people are offended by it but if they’d rather end up on life support I guess that’s their choice. Just don’t get near me. IDIOTS!!!
Well we’re in for some verrrry hot temps starting Sat. Sunday & Monday we’re in for possible 100 degree temps. It’s not to cool down till Thurs!!!
Oh, I got some QF shorts or something a couple yrs or so ago & they had the most foul odor I packed em up. I sent Angel an email & she told me to return them & ask for a replacement. She apologized over & over in her email back to me. It smelt like mold or mildew, it was terrible. Washing won’t get rid of it. Unless they;re white you can’t bleach them.
CIJ is on all day today (Sat.).
Can you believe it’s almost Aug??
I made a batch of brownies, so it’s time for me to go & get some!!
Talk to ya later.
Stay safe & stay well.
ddin reply to: Quacker Talk-July 2020 #115162Hi Ladies,
Well, it was a bit cooler today, & will be at least 10 degrees cooler tomorrow. No rain in sight.
Those memes are hilarious, Gail. I can’t pick out which is funniest. Keep em coming, thanks.
As far as I know Portland is the only place where all the violence is taking place. I don’t think there are protests going on in other towns in Oregon, but I could be wrong. They aren’t making national news at least.
I felt a lot better today, I actually got dressed. Yesterday it was so hot, I stayed in my cool night gown all day. The heat was so bad I did nothing all day! I’d never survive the humidity out there.
Not to worry about hubby. I still ‘see’ Jewell come around the corner or jump up on the sofa, from time to time. Not all the time tho. Just every so often.
Adele, you should watch rodeos on CBS on Sat. I believe it is. Barrel racing, steer roping, everything you need to know about rodeos you’ll learn. LOL
Well, that’s all for now.
take care, stay safe, & try to stay cool.
ddin reply to: Quacker Talk-July 2020 #115028HI Ladies,
Well, it’s summer out here. It’s in the upper 80s today & it’s gonna be hotter the next day or so. Two yrs ago more than half of the month was in the 90s. So far we’ve only had one day. I don’t envy you having the humidity!!!! I wouldn’t be able to breathe.
That came as quite the shock when I heard the news about Stacey & the others getting let go from the Q!! What surprizes me is Antonella!! She was one of my faves! You’d think the newest ones would go first. All of them had several yrs experience under their belts. Maybe things were in the works when they went to showing the recorded programming last yr. I could think of a few I’d rather see gone than Antonella or Stacey. I don’t know about the rest of you but the 2 that get on my nerves are Kirsten, & Jane Treacy. Maybe it’s just me.
OK, here’s what’s going on out here. NOOOOO it hasn’t calmed down any!! The protesters are still out there. And the government invasion ISN’T helping any. If anything they’re more of a problem. So, whatever 45 says he’s LYING!!! He said yesterday or the day before they had everything under control
NOT TRUE!! They;re causing more problems & hitting people with tear gases, even some kind of poison last night. The governor didn’t ask for them & the mayor has made his opinion made clear. He wants them OUT of Portland, the sooner the better. They don’t have any ID like badges, to identify who they really are. Some protesters were dragged into a white van by so called gov. police with no ID to prove who they were, I heard on the news.
Adele, when you get ERROR when you try to post a photo it’s because the pic is too big. that’s all it means. I’ve had it happen to me more than once.
Snowball is behaving so far. I think the heat is getting to her. I have the AC running but she curls up in a corner wherever she can. I called the groomer, but he doesn’t have his groomers. I guess they left. But sometime next month they might make it over here.
Well, I guess that’s all for today.
Take care, stay safe
ddin reply to: Quacker Talk-July 2020 #114903Hi Ladies,
I don’t know if any of you know this, but Stacey Stauffer is no longer on the Q. I got a post from David on my FB page saying she was no longer with the Q. Below his was a post from her. She said she’d done her last show & wouldn’t be returning. she didn’t say she was quitting for any specific reason. Sounds like she was let go to me. When Jill left, she said she was retiring, as did others. I wonder who else will be leaving?
I have to admit her high pitched voice got on my nerves. There are others get on my nerves too. Maybe it’s my old age.
We’re in for some hot weather next week. Into the 90s. It was lovely today, mid 70s. Sure enjoyed it. I hear it’s been unbearably hot out there.
Sue that;s a great thing to get that photo of your mom when she was young. I would’ve guessed it was taken late 30s. My sister was little in the late 30s & from what I remember the clothing looked similar.
When we were growing up, at different times, the roads were still dirt, no gravel, & the roads were so narrow, one car had to pull over to the side so the oncoming car could pass.
Snowball was naughty this week & she got in Big trouble for it. That night I shut her in the bathroom with her litter box. amazingly she was quiet all night. Then last night she was a good girl before coming into the bedroom. When I say NO she turns on her little heels & goes in the opposite direction.
I went out shopping today & when I returned she wanted to go see Critt so I asked him if she could come down & visit. He agreed, so I let her out & she beat feet down to his place. she went right in just like she lived there. LOL.
Well, that’s all for tonight.
take care & stay safe
ddin reply to: Quacker Talk-July 2020 #114312Hi Ladies,
I wish I could send you guys some of our weather!! We’ve been in the 60s all week, I think we did hit 70 today tho. It’s supposed to warm up the next couple days. We should be in the 80s by now!!! It’s been cloudy, gray, with sprinkles at times. Nothing major tho.
No the protests are still going on downtown. It’s been way over a month now & nobody seems to be doing anything about it. I’m pretty sure I’ve voiced my opinion on what should be done with them!!
Diane took me shopping today. the store I go to closest to me seems to be out of stuff I need so she took me cross town to other stores & I found what I needed so I won’t need to stock up anymore. Just the necessities. We’re back on mandatory masks to enter stores. Signs posted as you walk in.
Not much else going on here. I cooked dinner for Critt & me yesterday. Snowball went down to his door this evening.
I had to take her to the vet yesterday for her shot, & she was lethargic all day after that. So today she was back to her old self. and when she trotted down to Critt’s door I knew she was herself.
Well, that’s all for now.
Stay safe!!
ddin reply to: Quacker Talk-July 2020 #114084Hi Ladies,
I hope this finds everyone survived the holiday weekend. Yesterday(Sunday) should’ve been my brother’s birthday, but he passed away from a massive stroke 2 yrs ago. He had just turned 60 when he had it. We weren’t close as I was 8 yrs older than he was.
I hear it’s hotter than a match out there. It was down right cold here this morning!! Sat. was a nice day but yesterday & today were cloudy & chilly. No heat wave in the forecast as far as I’ve heard. We didn’t even get out of the 60s today. Pretty unusual for July.
Oh, I gotta tell ya about Snowball. When the fireworks started going off, I had to put her in the bathroom during the height of them going off. When they tapered off & stopped I let her out. I got in bed to play on my tablet, & while I was in bed, she got up on the bed & laid stretched out next to me.
and while there I’d pet her & squeezed her from time to time. I think it calmed her down & she felt secure. She didn’t stay there all night tho.. I gotta take her to the vet this week for her annual shot.
And I gotta find a groomer so she can get her hair cut for the summer. I’ve called around, but all I got was answering machines. Now that the holiday is over, maybe I’ll actually get ahold of a real live person.
We still have protesters out in the streets of Portland causing chaos & vandalism!!! They haven’t been up here since they marched through last month. I say shoot em!!! The actual cause has long since been lost in all the chaos!! They don’t care about George Floyd as much as they want the police disbanded so they can do whatever they want whenever they want to whoever they want, without consequences. I think the Governor should bring in the troops & let them tangle with those guys & their AK-47s.
Can you believe the things 45 is doing & saying in his speeches? He’s NUTS!!!! Our cases are spiking out of control, I think we’re over 9 or 10K now!!! I’m still sheltering in place unless I absolutely have to go to the store.
Well, I guess that’s all for tonight.
Take care & stay safe!
