Not So Idle Thoughts Ten

Ten Things on the Internet that I Thought about Today

Amazon's Overall Bestseller List: Why do I check this when it never has anything listed that I'm even marginally tempted to read?

Everything About that Pesky Impeachment: Skip that. Skip that, too. Skip everything. Skip to my Lou my darling (sorry, I hate politics.)

Harry and Megan Ditch the Royal Family Gig: Good. Paparazzi basically murdered his mother, and have been harassing his wife since they were dating. I hope they stay in Canada with the baby.

Kardashian Chick Posts Mostly Nude Selfie Pics on the Internet: Yawn. It must be Friday.

Moderating PBW Comments, Still: After a year and a half I thought the scammers would get tired of trying to leave comments pushing their crap on the old blog, but nope. Still have to delete a good half-dozen every day.

Quilting Show and Tell Online: I kind of stumbled over this Show and Tell web site where makers post images and stories about their work. It's evidently run by the people at Missouri Star Quilt Co. (Jenny Doan's company) and has 900+ pages worth to look through, so I'll probably go back and admire in my spare time.

RWA Cancelling the RITAs Due to Membership Bailing: There are people who actually still care about the RITAs, which were always fixed anyway?

Starting a War with Iran: Well, it won't make that pesky impeachment go away. It will kill a lot of people on both sides, and solve nothing. Stop killing and start talking to each other.

This Pic at Pixabay: Gorgeous. Must save for The Inheritance!

and finally:

What I Listen To After Reading All This Stuff on the Internet: Today, this. This composer is my wind-down go-to guy. Nothing earth-shaking, but all of his stuff is very calming.

What did you find on the internet to think about today? Let me know in comments.

I'm not listening to the news anymore or reading about it, other than local. I have had enough of the "news" which has become primarily opinions only, to last a lifetime so not that. What I did do on the internet was order the floor for our bedroom so our first floor will be finished. Yay! I read my comics page on gocomics.com because I absolutely adore Breaking Cat News and Red and Rover. I watched Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House because it's still a great movie. Other than that, I kept an eye on the weather since we're under a severe ice storm warning, and cleaned what I could in short bursts in case the power went out, which it probably will during the night tonight because that's when it's supposed to be the worst.

T-minus Day

This was our little Thanksgiving dinner last year, when it was just the three of us. Time keeps whittling down my favorite holiday; this year it will be just me and my guy, and we likely won't even have a turkey.* That will be a first in 35 years. I feel about Thanksgiving the way other people do about Christmas, and while it's a lot of work it's my favorite holiday. Of all the Thanksgivings I've had in the past sixty years, only three were truly terrible: one when I was a kid that I don't talk about (#1 most miserable); the time I roasted two turkeys together and hosted fifteen people whom I cooked for and served with zero help (the largest and #2 most miserable); and the one I spent in basic training (the #3 most miserable.) I have no pictures of any of those, thank heavens. In addition to doing all the cooking I'm the one who takes all the pictures, washes all the dishes and puts away all the leftovers. I suppose no one else cares because to them it...

Holiday Prep

For Thanksgiving this year we've invited some guests from Oliver's mom's side of the family, so I have to start prepping now to get the house in shape for the big day. The first major thing is having the carpets cleaned, which we've scheduled for next week. This weekend I'll be cleaning out four rooms to get them ready for that. I started with my front dining room, which I use as my sewing room. It was kind of a mess already, so it felt good to get everything cleared out. We'll be having ten people at dinner plus two babies, so this will give me a chance to figure out how to arrange two tables in this space. I think this will be my last time hosting a big Thanksgiving gathering. Mike has started his family with a lovely girl who has a huge, close-knit family of her own, while Katherine will likely be off at grad school out of state for the next several years. I'm also not getting any younger. My guy and I will always celebrate Thanksgiving, but ...

Fell Off the Wagon

I did cut up that plastic dollar tote to make into something stronger, but got caught up with work and set it aside. Then last night some hand-dyed silk and pretty threads called my name, and, well . . . Felt SO good to do some handwork, except my neck began hurting about an hour into it. I tried changing the way I sit and work, but it's pretty obvious that the doc is right.
