Conversation – 22

Sheba, My son is isolated upstairs getting a lot of rest. I went out last night to supply him with drinks, ice cream, and soups. My hubs is eating the ice cream, oh well. During the day I open the front door and the back sliders to keep air flow through the house. He seems to have a milder case although i go up stairs with a KN95 mask to make sure he’s still breathing. Since you have 4, you know what i mean.

Glad you got a nice walk in today. Thanks for the cake, looking isn’t any calories, right. My re-order of Choco arrived today. 🙂

@shoelady60,

Good evening yeah a trip around spring would be nice I do not like really hot weather.
If I can’t deal with OZ I certainly cannot endure GA. So I will go when the weather permits.

The kids always come home I guess that is one reason I have not been there since Covid.

Hey enjoy this tonight and keep warm and toasty.

@oodiebom,

This is on my list from HD. I love this look and the pin. I already have the huggable earrings.

This is so Sheba.

@oodiebom,

Good evening get some rest tonight and we are praying for your husband.

Just check in when you can I know it will be a very busy day.

I am so glad everything worked with the HD Necklace. YAY!

Oodie is this the Pickle Pin?

Saying prayers tonight for both you and hubby.

Freedom
Song by Wham

… Every day I hear a different story
People saying that you’re no good for me
Saw your lover with another and she’s makin’ a fool of you, oh
If you love me, baby, you’d deny it
But you laugh and tell me I should try it
Tell me I’m a baby, and I don’t understand
… But you know that I’ll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
‘Cause baby, you could drag me to and back
Just as long as we’re together
And you do
… I don’t want your freedom
I don’t want to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part time love just brings me down
I don’t need your freedom
Girl, all I want right now is you
… Do, do, do
Whoa, oh, yeah
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
… Like a prisoner who has his own key
But I can’t escape until you love me
I just go from day to day knowing all about the other boys
You take my hand and tell me I’m a fool to give you all that I do
I bet you someday, baby, someone says the same to you
… But you know that I’ll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
‘Cause baby, you could drag me to and back
Just as long as we’re together
And you do, oh
… I don’t want your freedom
I don’t want to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part time love just brings me down
I don’t want your freedom
Girl, all I want right now is you
… Do, do, do
Can’t you see you’re hurtin’ me?
Whoa, oh, yeah
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
… You hurt me, baby, hurt me, baby
Oh
Do-do-do, do, do, do, do
Do-do-do, do, do, do, do
Do-do-do, do, do, do, do
Do-do-do, do, do, do, do
You hurt me, baby, hurt me, baby
… But you know that I’ll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
‘Cause baby, you could drag me to and back
Just as long as we’re together
And you do, oh
… I don’t want your freedom
I don’t need to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part time love just brings me down
I don’t want your freedom
I don’t want to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part time love just brings me down
… I don’t want your (I don’t want your)
I don’t want your (I don’t want your)
I don’t want your (I don’t want your)
I don’t want your (I don’t want your)
Oh

I’m your man – Wham

Oh
Call me good
Call me bad
Call me anything you want to, baby
But I know that you’re sad
And I know I’ll make you happy
With the one thing that you never had
Baby, I’m your man (do do do that)
Don’t you know that?
Baby, I’m your man (do do do that)
You bet
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
So good, you’re divine
Wanna take you, wanna make you
But they tell me it’s a crime, oh
Everybody knows where the good people go
But where we’re going baby
Ain’t no such word as no
Baby, I’m your man (do do do that)
Don’t you know who I am?
Baby, I’m your man (do do do that) (you know)
You bet
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me) (come on baby)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me) (ooh, take me home)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me) (please don’t leave me here)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right
To do it on my own
First class information
Sense your inspiration
And with some stimulation (oh)
We can do it right, oh
So, why waste time with the other guys
When you can have mine?
I ain’t askin’ for no sacrifice
Baby, your friends do not need to know
I’ve got a real nice place to go, listen
I don’t need you to care
I don’t need you to understand, yeah
All I want is for you to be there
And when I’m turned on, if you want me
I’m your man (I’m your man)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
Do it with me, now listen
If you’re gonna do it, you know what I say? (Do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, don’t throw it away (do it with me)
Don’t throw it baby, don’t throw it
Because
I’ll be your boy, I’ll be your man
I’ll be the one who understands
I’ll be your first, I’ll be your last
I’ll be the only one you ask
I’ll be your friend, I’ll be your toy
I’ll be the one who brings you joy
I’ll be your hope, I’ll be your pearl
I’ll take you halfway ’round the world
I’ll make you rich, I’ll make you poor
Just don’t use the door
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)
If you’re gonna do it, do it right (right, do it with me)

Peace Out Peeps have a safe evening.

@oodiebom

Good luck tomorrow – please know that I will be thinking of you.🤗

@taci

I hope your son feels better real soon. Good luck to you and your husband not getting it!😣

I did receive an e-mail from Heidi and the answer was take a second look at the model. So I did and then took the necklace out of the box and though dark, the green comes through. It turns out to look exactly like the model and I am pleased. Being a jewelry person I should have known to do this first. It needs to be under light to get the true effect. I am now looking at the “Pickle” pin. It has made me smile for two days and I needed that.

Hubby has the appointment tomorrow and the group has sent a few e-mails as a reminder and then asked the questions that will make the process easier for tomorrow. The only questions I couldn’t answer were pertaining to the meds. He will have that info with him tomorrow. Following his appointment I will make a stop at Aldi’s (across the street from the medical building) and then Costco (about a mile from the medical building). Not sure if hubby wants a hotdog so will wait on that for tomorrow.

Our recycles were picked up today. However garbage is tomorrow. I’m all set. The explanation on line was not that good. If there is no pickup tomorrow, it will happen Monday.

Stay warm. I hope the furry friends that come by every evening notice their new house and are making use of it. A nice quilt on the floor or blanket would make it warmer for them. Wish there was a way for you to heat it during the cold spells. Have a great evening and enjoy your son. Hmm, wonder if he wants to stay longer…….not a bad idea. Poppy will certainly miss him. Now, you four, go enjoy the fire and the hot chocolate. Nothing like something hot to warm the inside. Take care, stay safe.

I think we are the same person – I am multi-tasking today with a bunch of small things. Already had a couple cups of tea☕ and, yep, it’s cold and windy here.🥶 We can call it Ozburgh.

Spent the day at mom’s yesterday. They are taking the cruise the middle of February but you’re right. Mom talked about getting her luggage out because it takes her longer to pack and to decide what she wants to take.🙄 It will be a little harder since this cruise is for two weeks. I am a great packer. No matter where I go, I get everything into a carry-on.

A trip to GA to visit your children sounds like a winner. Maybe for Easter, although it’s a little early this year but the weather should be good by then. GA in the summer is too hot and humid for me.🔥😜 Did that once to visit SIL and learned my lesson.

Keep warm, sending hugs to you, Poppy and the kitties.🤗💖

When we take ownership of our thoughts, we are less likely to project our issues or disowned qualities onto others.

We all have issues, as well as undesirable qualities or traits that we don’t like about ourselves. Most of us realize that we are not perfect and that it is natural to have unpleasant thoughts, motivations, desires, or feelings. However, when a person does not acknowledge these, they may ascribe those characteristics to someone else, deeming other people instead as angry, jealous, or insecure. In psychological terms, such blaming and fault finding is called projection.

When we are the target of projections, it can be confusing and frustrating, not to mention maddening, particularly when we know that we are not the cause of another person’s distress. Even people who are well aware of their issues may find that sensitive subjects can bring up unexpected projections. They may feel insecure about a lack of funds and thus view a friend as extravagant. Or, if they really want to get in shape, they may preach the benefits of exercise to anyone and everyone.

While we can try to avoid people we know who engage in projecting their “stuff” onto others, we can’t always steer clear of such encounters. We can, however, deflect some projections through mindfulness and meditation. A useful visualization tool is to imagine wrapping ourselves in a protective light everyday. At other times, we may have to put up a protective shield when we feel a projection coming our way, reminding ourselves that someone else’s issues are not ours. Although it’s difficult not to react when we are the recipient of a projection, it is a good idea to try to remain calm and let the other person know if they are being unreasonable and disrespectful. We all know that it’s not fun to be dumped on. Likewise, we should be mindful that we don’t take our own frustrations out on others. When we take ownership of our thoughts, motivations, desires, and feelings, we are less likely to project our issues or disowned qualities onto others. AMEN! 🎈

@kittengirl,

Good morning Kitten in California this reminds me of you. 😎🎈
