Conversation 27

Hello Peeps time for a new Conversation Thread. This is number 27 out of the
series. I created and started this thread 10 years ago.😎🎈
I will change it often from now on. This is just a knock around
thread about things in life. My life and others. I am an avid Heidi
Daus Collector, former singer, model and so on. I do this thread because
I enjoy what I do. I love fashion and music and HSN is a little of both.
I cover a lot of music and fashion on this thread. ✨😎
I am going to wish Happy Holidays to all the Peeps out there and please
stay safe. 🌹✨😎

PUPPY MILL AWARENESS DAY
National Puppy Mill Awareness Day on the third day in September encourages those looking for a new dog, to adopt, not shop.
An observance dedicated to improving the lives of dogs, the day spreads the word about the poor conditions of puppy mills. While reputable dog breeders care for the animals they raise, a puppy mill doesn’t put the animal’s needs first. Not only do the dogs often live in poor conditions, but they’re bred T often than is healthy. Additionally, puppy mills don’t take into consideration preferred characteristics when breeding.
As a result, breeding lines are not well-tracked, and genetic defects develop. The mills remove young from the mothers’ much too early. Sickness, malnutrition, and behavior issues are common. Often, mills skimp on vaccines, also.

NATIONAL NEW YORK DAY
As we continue our tour of the states, September 21 brings us to National New York Day, honoring the Empire State. New York is the 11th state to join the Union and we think the state is entitled to some amazing occades!
From the timeless halls of Ellis Island to the epic beauty of Niagara Falls and breathtaking Adirondacks, New York is infused with grand vistas and endless historical paths to retrace. With New York City as the epitome of a melting pot long before the term was coined, the state is full of inspiration for artists, sparks intelligent debate and philosophical discussion.
People & Places
The Lenape people populated the land now known as New York. They’re also known as the Delaware Indians. Their settlements also spread across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and parts of Delaware and Connecticut. However, the Dutch were the first Europeans to settle the area and named it New Netherland.Settlements and trading posts developed up and down the Hudson River. Albany, the state capital, was once called Beverwijck and the center of the fur trade. In 1624, the Dutch established a settlement on Nutten Island named New Amsterdam. Two years later, they would move to Manhattan Island, and the colony flourished.
Over time, the settlement exchanged hands between the Dutch and British several times, each without bloodshed. The first exchange, in 1664, would name it New York.
Independence & Influence
After declaring independence, the colonies later created the Articles of Confederation. Soon they discovered a stronger governing document was needed.While New York sent three delegates to the Constitutional Convention in 1787, only Alexander Hamilton remained to sign the final document. A Federalist, Hamilton held strong opinions that could potentially influence the framing of the young nation’s new governing document. For one, Hamilton supported a life term of service for the President.

Good Bye Summer See You Next Year. 😎😘

I didn’t see hubby on Friday. Instead I was cleaning the guest bathroom to get it ready for the roofers. They will be here Saturday morning. So far I am happy with my choice. The owner and supervisor has explained everything and it seems they know what they are doing. The people I used following the two hurricanes seemed to know what to do. However, I had to contact them two more times when the roof began to leak again. Each time they asked if that was part of the initial problem. It was. Then it took weeks, in my case, months. before they returned. There were a myriad of things I could have done, but decided to look for someone who knew what to do. And now I have a leak in the same place. The roofer phoned me this afternoon to look at the ceiling in our den before starting the project. He is thinking about tearing down the entire ceiling and roof in that area and installing new everything. The amount he quoted will stay the same. If that is the case, his crew will help me move everything out of the room and when done help to move everything back. Meanwhile, we have another water main break. Right now I have water, but it looks like everything will be shut down sometime today. Hoping the problem can be rectified in one day.
It is still very hot and humid. Temps are in the 90s and so is the humidity. No rain this week. I am again watching the tropics. Looks like two or three in the Atlantic and one that is in the Caribbean may become the next hurricane and head for the Gulf Coast. I’ve seen this on a map and right now it could go towards Mexico or Texas. However, depending upon the jet stream it could head our way.
I am again concerned with xango. Her hubby had Covid and I am hoping she didn’t get it. I do remember that she was scheduled for another procedure and here’s hoping that she is OK. She seemed to be doing good recuperating from the last hospital stay which was weeks. September is also her anniversary month and I am hoping that they went away for a few days. After what she has been through for the last year, getting away is the best medicine for recuperation. At least it is a few days of no cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, etc., etc..
Enjoy your Saturday. Hope you can sit and relax for a change. The rain from the other day could have messed with your computer. If you can, try to send a few of those drops our way.
