It wouldn’t have worked on Nurse Rachett but the (female) dr fell for it! Of course, I then had to confess at home….🤭 Confession is good for the soul. But sometimes, penance is the real reward if you know what I mean. . 😜😈 LOL 1 2
Popular Post Mikiesboy Posted February 17 Author Popular Post Posted February 17 (edited) Happy Tuesday and Happy Lunar New Year, it is the year of the Fire Horse... This morning was visits to the Shrink and HIV Docs. Stopped at the grocery store on the way home to get a few things as we are scheduled to have up to 10cm (4 inches) of freezing rain and snow tomorrow sometime. So, no plans to go out. Shovel and salt are piled up by the door, as are my Trax. The story is put away for a bit now, and i'll reread it soon and send it to the editor, then post it. Edited February 17 by Mikiesboy 1 6

I've always found it interesting to see other cultures perspectives on aspects such as how things like astrology and birth year animals are supposed to influence our personalities and the traits associated with those born on a specific date. I've met a few other people who share my birthday and our personalities were vastly different. I was born in a Year of the Monkey which in Chinese culture is associated with the Earth for the year I was born. In astrology I'm a Cancer which is a water sign. Does that make me muddy? I really don't know. Our forecast isn't great over the next several days. I'm hoping the weather is okay on Sunday. I have plans to get together with two high school friends, our husbands and our old French teacher for dinner at one of the girl's houses. We've had to reschedule once because of the big snowstorm. Hopefully it doesn't happen again. Have a good rest of your week everyone! 1 6

Apparently, one of the hallmarks of that combination is: "A great lover of justice, even at the expense of themselves." ... Who is not going to love that about themselves?

Popular Post kbois Posted February 17 Popular Post Posted February 17 Let's see. Cancer (female) Emotional & Intuitive: They feel things deeply, often experiencing rapid mood changes. Their high emotional intelligence allows them to read a room’s energy and provide profound comfort to others. Mostly true Nurturing & Loyal: As natural caregivers, they are deeply devoted to family and friends, frequently acting as the "mother" figure in their relationships. Abso-freaking-lutely Protective & Sensitive: They are cautious with their hearts, often building a protective, hard exterior to shield their vulnerable inner self. They take criticism personally. Sounds about right Domestic & Creative: They thrive in cozy, secure environments and often have a strong, creative, and imaginative side. Brain....Never. Shuts. Off Work & Relationships: In the workplace, they are tenacious and supportive leaders. In love, they seek stability and safety, making them incredibly faithful partners. Yup Common Weaknesses: Moodiness: They are prone to changing emotions. Yes. No. Well.... Maybe, depends on the day. Insecurity: They may become clingy or suspicious when feeling insecure. Uh, no. More like retreats under my shell Difficulty with Change: They dislike instability and disruption to their routines. Absolutely. 1 2 4

Kitt Posted February 18 Posted February 18 We are being rained on @ 35*f atm. Supposed to get to the high 40's but I will believe that when it happens. Long range is saying the cold white stuff Sunday into Monday but they cant agree on how much. Low threat is a dusting. Most belligerent threat is saying 6". I will wait till Friday ish to see if I have to look for my hiding quilt! 3 1
Mikiesboy Posted February 18 Author Posted February 18 Well, back in from the 1st shovelling of the day. It is coming down thick and heavy atm, big huge flakes. Looks like about an inch so far. Yay. No ice, though, which is good. 5

Popular Post Mikiesboy Posted February 19 Author Popular Post Posted February 19 We had a few ice pellets yesterday and a power failure for a short time. Made me get up and get the Sheppard's pie finished, though. Michael would eat cold food, but balks at uncooked. However, the power stayed on, so all was well. My Trax work good in that kind snow/ice combo so i managed to clear all the snow. I've been ... oh interrupted by the news that an ex-prince was finally arrested for his nasty deeds ... so, where was i, i've been neglecting my strength training, since Danny passed away. I guess it was sort of replaced by a lot of snow shovelling, but i will get back to it. I've been sort of avoiding stuff since he died. Anyway... Happy Thursday and have a good day. 8
