Saw your post on the Trivia hread. I did respond. How is your bil doing? Take care of yourself, your hubby also.

@sheba2011

I am back at the motel. On the way here there was a beautiful rainbow against a dark cloud. There was no rain just the rainbow. My good luck charm. Even my driver couldn’t get over it. There is plenty of laundry to do, but the laundry room is On the second floor.No detergent. I am eating both lunch and dinner with him and I feel it lifts his morale. There are not many visitors here. So sad. Also by being there it is the best speech therapy as well. He is never at a loss for words. However short term is not that good, but seems to be returning slowly. I showed him the treamill. He loved it. Put it into favorites since I cannot purchase anything until we return either North or south. Please be careful in your drive to Colorado. This may not be a good time to do it.

Peace Out Peeps! Have a really bad sinus headache please be safe and cool. 😘😎

@taci,

My sinus are hurting so bad I am ready to come through the computer. 😜😜 I
posted to you and the dog gone thing week beep.

Taci never keep yams that long they are fresh and I am not surprise something is
not living in them. Here is a little secret I will share with you.

Get two cans of Bruce Yams and make it the same way. I can guide you on that
another day. I watched my grandmother and mother who are excellent cooks all
my life I even use the same spices and real butter like they did.

Tomorrow I will show you how to make yams with Bruce Yams and you can do the
fresh yams the same way. 😎😘

Taci thank you for all 7 years of your support. I am missing my father as the time is
getting close when he left. 💕😘

@oodiebom,

Take it easy in the heat. I know you are tired and that’s what worries me. 🌹 I wish I were
there.

Here is some tea and I wish Lyft and all those transportation apps were a lot more dependable and on time. Shizzle!!!!! 🤣I am not laughing I just wish things would go so much better for you
I feel you don’t need a lot of stress at this point. Oodie thank god both you and husband are
fully vaxed. I hear this thing is on the rise everywhere.

Enjoy Ice Tea with some Manuka Honey. 😘Please get some rest Oodie. 😘💕

(Love is like a) Heat wave
Martha and the Vandellas

Whenever I’m with him
Something inside
Starts to burnin’
And I’m filled with desire
Could it be the devil in me
Or is this the way love’s supposed to be
Just like a heatwave
Burning in my heart
Can’t keep from cryin’
It’s tearing me apart
Whenever he calls my name
So slow, sweet and plain
I feel, yeah, yeah, well I feel that burning flame
Has my blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love’s supposed to be
Just like a heatwave (Heatwave)
Burning in my heart (Heatwave)
Can’t keep from cryin’
It’s tearing me apart
Heatwave
Heatwave
Sometimes I stare in space
Tears all over my face
I can’t explain it, don’t understand it
I’ain’t never felt like this before
But that doesn’t mean it has me amazed
I don’t know what to do, my head’s in a haze
Just like a heatwave (Heatwave)
Burning in my heart (Heatwave)
Can’t keep from cryin’
It’s tearing me apart
Don’t pass up this chance
This time it’s a true romance
Heatwave

The Heat Is On
Glenn Frey

The heat is on, on the street
Inside your head, on every beat
And the beat’s so loud, deep inside
The pressure’s high, just to stay alive
‘Cause the heat is on
Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho
Caught up in the action I’ve been looking out for you
Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho
(Tell me can you feel it)
(Tell me can you feel it)
(Tell me can you feel it)
The heat is on, the heat is on, the heat is on
Oh it’s on the street, the heat is on
Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho
Caught up in the action I’ve been looking out for you
Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho
(Tell me can you feel it)
(Tell me can you feel it)
(Tell me can you feel it)
The heat is on (yeah) the heat is on, the heat is on
(Burning, burning, burning)
It’s on the street, the heat is on
The shadows high on the darker side
Behind the doors, it’s a wilder ride
You can make a break, you can win or lose
That’s a chance you take, when the heat’s on you
When the heat is on
Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho
Caught up in the action I’ve been looking out for you
Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho
(Tell me can you feel it)
(Tell me can you feel it)
(Tell me can you feel it)
The heat is on (yeah) the heat is on, the heat is on
It’s on the street, the heat is on (i can feel the fire)
The heat is on (flames are burning higher)
The heat is on (baby can’t you feel it)
Yeah, it’s on the street
The heat is on (i can feel it the fire)
The heat is on (flames are burning higher)

The Tide Is High
Song by Blondie

The tide is high but I’m holdin’ on
I’m gonna be your number one
I’m not the kinda girl who gives up just like that, oh no
It’s not the things you do that tease and hurt me bad
But it’s the way you do the things you do to me
I’m not the kinda girl who gives up just like that, oh no
The tide is high but I’m holdin’ on
I’m gonna be your number one, number one
Ev’ry girl wants you to be her man
But I’ll wait my dear till it’s my turn
I’m not the kinda girl who gives up just like that, oh no
The tide is high but I’m holdin’ on
I’m gonna be your number one, number one, number one
Ev’ry girl wants you to be her man
But I’ll wait my dear till it’s my turn
I’m not the kinda girl who gives up just like that, oh no
The tide is high but I’m holding on
I’m gonna be your number one, number one, number one
The tide is high but I’m holding on
I’m gonna be your number one
The tide is high but I’m holding on
I’m gonna be your number one
The tide is high but I’m holding on
I’m gonna be your number one
The tide is high but I’m holding on
I’m gonna be your number one

Club Sheba Summer Heat Edition 😎

Great news about your sister! This thread, don’t know how you do it but it’s awesome and you go!!!
Remember the yams? I bought 2 and stored them in a basket in the kitchen. It’s been a few weeks, yah, I forgot bout them, and now they are growing leaves. Maybe I will plant them in the back yard? Guess I am not the cook you or Xango are 🙂 Also on the food front, bought a dragon fruit in honor of Oodie, it came all the way from FL. Thinking we will all try it tonight.
It rained a little last night and is a bit humid today.
Watched some water polo and swimming today.

Have a great day all!

@sheba2011, Good Day to you. Florida has another hot day. I enjoy eating so I must cook. I also enjoy cooking, baking. I emerged myself into my work so much I didn’t learn how to cook while my mother was alive. She lived with us, I didn’t want her to live by herself after I got married. So like in many cultures we invited her to come with us. So while I worked full time, she did the cooking everyday. I didn’t start to get into the kitchen until after I retired. I watched lots of cooking shows on TV. Julia Child, Martha Stewart, Ina Garten, and now we have YouTube which offers lots of recipes from all over the world. But now I can’t stand for too long, I lose tract of time in the kitchen and then start to hurt. Still I put on some music and enjoy cooking/baking.

@sheba2011

It’s hot and very humid in Georgia with off and on showers. I saw xango’s post in Trivia and replied. Hubby is now working on strengthening his leg muscles. As I write he is with the therapist and a walker and is doing ok. Our concern has been getting him from a vehicle to the restroom when we are on the road and then when we arrive home, being able to climb the three or four steps into the house. The other concern are the pandemic cases in Fl.. I thing I heard over 68,000 affected. Certainly, not something I relish at this time. Yes, I am ok. Yes, I am tired. But as long as hubby is all right that’s all that matters.

Manic Monday
Song by The Bangles

… Six o’clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin’ Valentino
By a crystal-blue, Italian stream
… But I can’t be late
‘Cause then I guess I just won’t get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made
… It’s just another manic Monday (Woah, woah)
I wish it was Sunday (Woah, woah)
‘Cause that’s my fun day (Woah, woah, woah, woah)
My I don’t have to run day (Woah, woah)
It’s just another manic Monday
… Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an aeroplane
I still couldn’t make it on time
… ‘Cause it takes me so long (Oh, oh)
Just to figure out what I’m gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there
… It’s just another manic Monday (Woah, woah)
I wish it was Sunday (Woah, woah)
‘Cause that’s my fun day (Woah, woah, woah, woah)
My I don’t have to run day (Woah, woah)
It’s just another manic Monday
… Of all my nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down?
(Last night, last night)
Doesn’t it matter
That I have to feed the both of us?
Employment’s down
… He tells me in his bedroom voice
C’mon honey, let’s go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
(When you’re having fun)
… It’s just another manic Monday (Woah, woah)
I wish it was Sunday (Woah, woah)
‘Cause that’s my fun day (Woah, woah, woah, woah)
My I don’t have to run day (Woah, woah)
… It’s just another manic Monday (Woah, woah)
I wish it was Sunday (Woah, woah, woah, woah)
‘Cause that’s my fun day (Woah, woah)
It’s just another manic Monday

Accepting Yourself

To label yourself good or bad is to think too small.

There is no such thing as a good person or a bad person. There are choices and actions that lead us in different directions, and it is through those choices and actions that we create our realities. Sometimes we choose or do something that takes us in the opposite direction of the reality we want to create for ourselves. When we do this, we feel bad — uneasy, unhappy, unsure. We might go so far as to label ourselves “bad” when a situation like this arises. Instead of labeling ourselves, though, we could simply acknowledge that we made a choice that lead us down a particular path, and then let it go, forgiving ourselves and preparing for our next opportunity to choose, and act, in ways that support our best intentions.

Many of us experienced childhoods in which the words good and bad were used as weapons to control us — you were good if you did what you were told and bad if you didn’t. This kind of discipline undermines a person’s ability to find their own moral center and to trust and be guided by their own inner self. If you were raised this way, you may find yourself feeling shockwaves of badness when you do something you were taught was wrong, even if now you don’t agree that it’s bad. Conversely, you may feel good when you do what you learned was right. Notice how this puts you in something of a straitjacket. An important part of our spiritual unfolding requires that we grow beyond what we learned and take responsibility for our own liberation in our own terms.

You are a human being with every right to be here, learning and exploring. To label yourself good or bad is to think too small. What you are is a decision-maker and every moment provides you the opportunity to move in the direction of your higher self or in the direction of stagnation or degradation. In the end, only you know the difference. If you find yourself going into self-judgment, try to stop yourself as soon as you can and come back to center. Know that you are not good or bad, you are simply you. 😘😎
