Jazzy, it was a OMD moment this morning. I linked to the page so you can read how Scuttlers is going to use it. Quite good in a "make a positive out of a negative" way. Chit. The stupid stuff people say. My reaction ranges on the spectrum from--do I take time to educate them or walk away. If they're was room in the topic box it certainly would be in somewhere. Can't think which of my threads I could put it in. I reposted it on Stupid Comments. That's perfect for it. AhHah---maybe I can fit it in in the STEAM ROOM for ANGER.

Chevy, I got Siobhan's article C&P'd to Pinktober. Thanks again for posting it. I'm sitting shaking my head. The clueless stupid people, I wonder will they understand it?
0 -
Sassy- love it. I think most people are just clueless and don't know what to say, but others are definitely more judgmental about the whole thing. The ones I felt were not kind to me about things , perhaps sometimes out of their own fear, went bye bye through time. I don't miss those people either. The ones who were trying to understand were worth explaining to and just want to know how to help and support. As you know, sometime it is all in the "tone" of things. I learned so quickly who could get on board or not.
And OMG, everyone's cancer stories, I STILL get that from some people. Every time they hear a co-worker, person at church, or someone else they hardly know. They go on and on about it and I often wonder "are they expecting me to offer something, comfort them, what?" I usually just let them have their diatribe and say I hope the person gets through treatment successfully and has a successful recovery and long life. I have told many "it is unfortunate that cancer is everywhere these days." Then I change the subject.

Jazzy, you are right it's the tone. I'm so happy the Mods didn't ban me. Technically, by TOS, I just spammed it all over the place. I got banned once for a month b/c of trying to send something good around. There is still a chance that I could be banned. If I disappear, I'll call Spookie to let ya'll know.
Off to dinner..............YAY out to dinner............
Chevy, I had a little fun stuff, that will make dinner even better heheheheheh

Before cancer, I had no idea what to say so I said little. After cancer, I still don't know what to say. We are all so different in what we find funny, what brings us comfort and so on. I have Bunco at my house this month so I'm giving a BC lesson. I still have my photos so if one of those biatches pops off up goes a pic. I'm sorta hoping that happens!

Hmmmm I still can sign in YAY, being banned is no fun
Hi Enerva --glad to see you check in around tues for page number. Getting close to a 1000. We are slowing down. Which is expected. Gawd, couldn't keep that pace up forever. But we will turn page 1000 somewhere in the week.
Mema, let us know what happens, seems you might be expecting something b/c of the biatch term.?

The lunar eclipse out here is spectacular. Pics in progress, stay tuned!

Just too cloudy here to see much of anything. Parts of the metroplex are fine. Watching 3 different live feeds. Hoping maybe moon will just top clouds as eclipse finishes

Sassy, that was from a post here called Inhabitants of Burque. People posting like crazy tonight.
Nasa has a live feed. Go to nasa.gov
Here is my best shot

I have been watching the moon since moon rise time. It starts getting out of the shadow now. Beautiful !! Tonight is also the Chinese Moon festival ( similar to Thanksgiving ) so it has special meaning to me. My iPhone camera just not good enough to catch the beauty.
0 -
Hi Eeyore, so nice, so nice and extra meaning is always nice. Moon festival on a blood red moon night. Hmmm how many times has this occurred on the same night. Did it happen in 1982. If it didn't happen in 1982. Then is this really rare in Chinese history? This is visible on this side of the world. When has it been visible in china. Are we getting into even more rare time. Fascinating. And I miss it. pooper.
Jazzy/lmg the Nasa.gov site told me times. I caught a bit of it coming out of eclipse. It's just not red. it's white. It' 40% up. So,the moon will be full tomorrow--but not a blood red--right? The nasa.gov site has oodles of cool info.

Just downloaded all my raw data from my DNA test from Ancestry.com My PCP awaits but I can't remember what to pull up. I'm gonna zip the whole file....

Chevy, do you think it would be all right to post the message on my FB page? I could leave her name off and just say it's from some else. Any thoughts from anyone?
Shows over, I'll post some pics tomorrow. Nighty night all

Didn't see the eclipse, was in bed early. Although I did wake up briefly about 10 my time and there wasn't much light from the moon shining in through the blinds.

Good morning ladies. Hard to believe it is already the end of September already. Where did the time go?
The eclipse last night was really awesome. I kept going out to look at it until it was almost done (after 10 p.m. here). I see the bright moon shining over the western horizon this morning. She is still doing her super moon thing!
One last pic from down by the river looking towards the mountains where we waited for the moon to come up over the Sandia's. Beautiful sunset and evening last night at the open space center, where there was also a free jazz concert going on. Lots of songs about the moon! Blue Moon, Moon River, East of the Sun and West of the Moon, etc!

Jazzy, is that White Sands? Do you have anymore pics?
Chevy good one. Google may be taking over the world, but they are giving us such nice things. What would life be without YouTube
Did you store the video of the little girl seeing rain for the first time?Morning----------dragging up 3;30, 5;30 6:30, 7;15.......UGH
Have a nice day

You too!! Must be the super moon effect. I am exhausted now and have to work today ;( Grateful I have a job though. Good morning everyone.

Wasn't that moon something yesterday?! It was boldly orange here and then got darker and darker. We kept running out in the back yard to check it out, good viewing between the trees. Then the whole moon lit up again sliver by sliver.. magnificient show. I can understand how things like this wow-ed the ancient people. Jazy great shot!!! You are quite gifted with a camera.
Loverof life- more coffee??? The effect of the magic beans... haha Ya'll have a wonderful Fall day. The leaves are changing and there is a crisp chill to the morning.

Happy Monday everyone!
Missed the Eclipse here last night since it rained.
Had a nice quiet weekend. I hope those up north are enjoying the changing weather. Cannot wait for e little break in the humidity here ion the Keys. Purchased some pumpkin spice creamer and some fall theme kitchen towels and the house inside looks like fall.

Sassy - that's the Sandia Mountains in Albuquerque which are east of the city. I had a local live feed on but I think it was actually from the national news (CBS). The other 2 I watched were storm chasers who had telescopes out. They were pretty good. I never could get any of the NASA sites to work. We saw basically nothing here. I could see like thru a sheer curtain the eclipse happening then the moon totally disappeared - couldn't see nuttin from it. Then it reappeared in eclipse form. I'll be 81 in 2033 haha. I don't even remember 1982, I was deep in nursing school mess. I do know it was in July 1982, forgot exact date.
Cute video Chevster. He's got his own teeter-totter. My dog is terrified to go on the porch (metal roof) in a heavy rain because it's so loud.
Got DD on Saturday and came home exhausted. Traffic and more traffic. Went exactly where I wanted to go with no problems. Found what has to be the nicest chain grocery store ever - a Krogers. It even had a wine tasting bar though not open - not sure why, 4 o'clock on a Sat. afternoon. Good thing it was my last stop or my pocketbook would have been in serious trouble. Her plane was almost 30 minutes early - unbeleeevable. I don't think she's moving to Boston anytime soon. Crowds and public transportation did her in but in general she loved the city. And don't see her fellow moving anytime soon either till he gets more job experience/reputation under his belt.
Jazzy - I could gobble up the breakfast you had with your friend. Agree with Sassy the sauce looks fantastic. You have been such a good friend to the gentleman with brain CA.
I'll be walking in honor of those whose last sunsets came too early. Chevy that hit hard from the article you posted.
Mema - curious if you feel you can share what Ancestry DNA will do for you and your PCP. I've toyed with the idea of getting a Color Genomics test done but that will probably only happen if I win the Lotto. I cannot change that I chose not to have an Oncotype done (with my MO's blessing - I think I would be in the dreaded intermediate) but am still pretty comfortable with the choice. I'm getting closer to 4 years out anyway. Just wanting to know what the value is for oncology. Certainly understand for family tree purposes. I know some things about my family tree but certainly not as much as most people even though my DM/DF were both from N Texas. It's a couple of generations back I know little about. I only recently found my paternal grandmother's parents' names.
Yes I made some pumpkin spice tea yesterday. Only on my 1st cup of high octane and need more. I have just lost my taste for coffee - weird. And I was stuck on honey roasted peanut butter and suddenly it's too darned sweet. Not that I've lost my sweet tooth altogether - wish that would happen.
Good to see you Frey and Eeyore. No more from Patty??? (((hugs))) sweet sister of the heart

Sassy- those are our mountains here in Albuquerque behind the trees. They are called the Sandia's, which means "watermelon" in spanish as they turn this awesome pink during sunset for about fifteen minutes. When the sky is pink and the clouds are good and the moon is full, it is like nothing you can imagine! White Sands is about 3 hours south of here.
Here are some pics from others that were taken at White Sands (bottom), over the Sandias in a different vantage point (middle), and adjacent to the Old Church in Santa Fe (top).

OMG, hot off the press. I love this one. My guess is it was taken from the Natural History Museum here.

Thank you for inviting me to your group! The photos you are posting are amazing. We are in southern California and sat outside on our deck to watch the eclipsed moon rise over the hills. So fun! I feel tied back to the many centuries of people who watched it in the past.

Goats Krogers started in Cincinnati looooong time ago. Goes head to head with Publix. Great chain for stuff, but like all of them , pay lousy.

Welcome GrammaKathy glad you came, Chevy will be along to give you a nick name. She's thread mom, I'm the playground monitor. Loverly will be along to describe everyone. She did it once, it was masterful. It's kind of quiet on the playground, but folks will be along in their time. I'm getting ready for up-north company tomorrow. BBL sassy
