    Proper retired I am these days. Become a daytime television watcher, well, quite selectively. These two relaxing half hour programmes are currently on Rewind TV: Old Country, presented by Jack Hargreaves, made in the mid 1980's, looking back on the life before WW2. Horses, carriages, fishing, rabbiting, dogs, tools, farming, pottery, smithing; back to an age when life was slow, and everyone DIY'd. Episodes also on youtube Discovering Gardens, presented by Michele Brown and Giles Brandreth, made in the late 1980's. Lovely English garden estates, with the owner-gardeners explaining and advising. An absolute gem. Seems to only be on tv.

    Task complete. I made myself sit down and do it. I sent it around 10 p.m. I didn't screenshot the attorney's email. I linked to it. I rewrote my notes (on paper) on paper. Then I copied what I had written. Then I locked all my notes in my office cabinet. Yay!

    So I just saw a video of him saying he wasn't dead and holding up each hand supposedly as a response to a video the government released of him (this happened) where one of his hands had six fingers. I'm not convinced. At the very least Iran wants him dead, and is targeting him, because he/ we killed their head of state.

    I think his he has dementia, and forms his decision making process on what he's told and what he wants to believe. I know he's the center of a cult of personality, but man, even the left doesn't get this screwed over after a Democratic presidential win.

    Florsheim oxfords that don't fit. I'm guessing the secretary ordered the boss's size or a similar size/s? My advice? Save your 5¢ on Lucy's psychoanalysis.

    @dolmansaxlil said: I’m grateful we don’t have to worry about the financial ramifications of a serious medical issue on top of everything else. This is so important! I don’t know anything about seizures or their treatment, but I would imagine there many more options than in generations past, so that should be helpful as well. Best wishes that it is!!
