One time, and I don't know why I did it, I took enough niacin to experience one of those flushes, but it didn't last that long.

I keep thinking I'm going to post more here, but I don't do all that posting on Facebook, either. I read in a local obituary of a woman I didn't know that one of her hobbies was playing Rummikub online. That's how I've been passing the time when I need to veg out.

My gosh! I'm surprised there wasn't a smell. And wondering what was the deal with her husband that he didn't call for help when she disappeared - dementia? So often, we get some answers & it brings up a whole slew of new questions.

I think about how 'Christmas' cactus used to be such a big deal to people that it bloomed and it was around Christmastime so they acted like it was some kind of a miracle that it was so smart, and then it sounds like different varieties came along that have longer blooming times, and finally people figured that out like you did, and it's not all about Christmas. But it is nice to have flowers in the middle of winter.

And this reminds me, I should have asked my sister-in-law for one of her mother's plants when she cleaned out the house. Maybe she has them at home, and it's not too late.

I wish we had family get togethers because there's always interesting stories, and the best ones are told in person.

Those are really cute. Once in awhile I try to make potholders, and it's always more of a challenge than I expected, especially getting the loop to come out where I want - these here seem to solve some of that, tack them to the outside.

Yes, I was worried about you. I'm going to send you a message.

We had some of that in my semi-rural community when I was a kid. I think the biggest advantage was doing without television and electronics so we played outdoors and came up with ways to entertain ourselves.

Gay Uncles Day sounds like a good idea. I googled greeting cards gay uncles day, and sure enough there's cards for it.

I agree about the Oscars for Oppenheimer. That movie has triggered a lot of media coverage, with atomic scientists weighing in on to what degree the information is accurate (some of them say it's not entirely), and more articles about atomic bomb issues in general. I think people might give it more credit for being profound than it deserves, but there's not much else out there that seems profound, so it's at the top.

It's a good thing for the generations younger than ours to learn more about atomic energy because they didn't live through the times when the bomb was thought to be so wonderful and there was a lot of testing, and then watched the long-term aftereffects of waste radiation. We might be more aware of it out here in the west because bombs were tested in our deserts with harmful radiation creating cancer pockets downwind, and our relatives were involved in mining uranium to make the bombs. Plus, one of my uncles worked for the Atomic Energy Commission, made several trips to Los Alamos in the 1950s and 60s. Another facility he had a lot to do with was Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

regarding the calendars.
