I'm IN. The "thrifty" is because I need to take a long hard look at the finances for the upcoming months... always stressful in DivaLand, no matter how ultimately do-able. And for some reason, it ALWAYS makes me ravenously hungry  ... and there are so many high-SP things in the "marked down" section of the grocery... soooo many... Coffee is zero-SP... ☕☕☕... (I drink it black)... 🌿🌻🌿🌻🌿🌻🌿🌻🌿 Have a healthy-eating day, all! 🌿🌻🌿🌻🌿🌻🌿🌻🌿 |

I hope everyone east of Houston is ok this morning. 20+ inches of rain in the last 12 hours in some areas.

I hope all my Texas friends are doing well.
Typical day on tap here. Really looking forward to the weekend- not doing much but can sleep a little!

I'm in. Morning all! I rolled out of bed and into a sweater. It's 45 here this morning. DotRen , we need an OMG button - that's a lot of rain! Hope everyone's okay. The "boys" are on a fishing trip today. #1 nephew just sent me drone footage of the boat making its way from the river to the mouth of the bay. Fun! Have a good day everyone! (((MJ))) here's to black coffee  |

Good morning. We're dry on the west side of Houston but I'm worried about DebDoesWW . She's getting a lot of rain now. I already have dinner ready for tonight. I accidentally turned the oven OFF yesterday when I was slow cooking a pot roast. When I removed the roast from the oven, the carrots were still raw. So, I continued cooking the roast and we ate something else last night for dinner. I'll warm it up for dinner tonight. I'm IN. |

Good morning. I’m in.
Sending up prayers for everyone being deluged by rain.
I was to have a dental cleaning today but it got cancelled. The next available appointment I could make was 2 weeks before the one I already have scheduled for December, so I’m on a waiting list for cancellations.
Dinner tonight will be at P.F. Chang’s with my friends across the street. Their twin boys head off to college tomorrow and this will be a celebration (or wake) for their departure. Of course, they are heading to U.C. Santa Cruz, so only about a 45 minute trip from home.
Keep save/dry/warm/cool—whatever you need to be.

OK, I need to do a small rant.
I'm feeling very old and trying to figure out what is happening to this world.
The assistant principal just sent out a picture of the 4 vaping devices they confiscated this week.
But then also sent a picture of other devices, including a vape that looks exactly like an Apple Watch! The watch part comes out of the band and you use that.
I was sneaky as a kid, and will admit to smoking in the bathroom in High School- But you could see and smell it, so you were busted.
The amount that manufacturers go to so people can hide stuff is crazy. Also, what 12 year old needs an Apple Watch anyway!
Sorry, just needed to send out a "grouchy old lady- back in my day" vent.
Thanks

Longstanding American way, not just current! I saw an old ad for cigarettes from the 50s and it had a testimonial from doctors that said these particular doctors only smoke (insert brand name here). So gross! The vaping and cigarette companies ought to be ashamed of themselves. Just like the health insurance companies and the Sackler family. Money means more to them than the death of humans. |

So gross! The vaping and cigarette companies ought to be ashamed of themselves. Just like the health insurance companies and the Sackler family. Money means more to them than the death of humans. I’d have to agree to disagree on the longstanding American way, because until the 80s or 90s American businesses used to be run with morals that ensured customers, shareholders and (in most cases) employees got a fair shake. Nowadays it is all about giving as little value for money as possible, channeling as much of that as possible into the pockets of the top five guys running the company and, sometimes, the board members, screwing the employees insofar as is legal, running the companies into the ground and leaving the shareholders with $0 value in the end. But I’m not bitter—much!  As for the vaping companies, this morning I saw a political ad urging Californians to vote NO on Prop C which Juul has gotten onto the ballot. Prior to this all I’ve seen has been the Juul-sponsored “everything is lovely and we are a saintly company” ads. I hope the vaping companies go down in flames (no pun intended) and would like to see the California legislature pass a state-wide ban on the sale of vaping devices and supplies. |

We finally got 1" of much needed rain.It was pouring for about 30 minutes with rain but I'm happy for that.
It's just so heartbraking to watch the coverage of the flooding in SE TX.My prayers and heart goes out to all in the path.
