“Ringo isn’t even the best drummer in the Beatles”
Loved that group
Trick-or-Treating Moderate to high risk. For the safest form of trick-or-treating, the CDC recommends one-way trick-or-treating where individually wrapped goodie bags are lined up for families to grab and go while continuing to social distance (such as at the end of a driveway or at the edge of a yard). The traditional form of trick-or-treating with kids going door to door is a high risk activity that should be avoided, the CDC said.
I’m angry. No, I’m more than angry. I have no tolerance for stupid people these days. It’s best I’m anti guns because if I owned one I’d possibly soon be in jail. Coronavirus has affected the lives of all of us in this country in one way or another. The stupid people are in my opinion making it more difficult for all of us.
I happen to be one of those people already comprised and clearly need to take every recommended precaution to avoid being infected with this deadly virus if nothing but the fact that I’m a senior with adult onset asthma whose right lung is glued so to speak. I’m an introvert so being alone isn’t a bad thing to me. My preference is to be in a house full of people as long as they’re in their room and me in mine. The flip side is I confess to chronic depression and quarantine doesn’t help. Eventually lack of any human interaction wear me and I wonder if my medication is enough.
Like every one else I have to go out for groceries etc. Today I had to go get a prescription. I had three blood pressure tablets left. I remembered today so I needed to take care of it today;otherwise the next time I remembered to handle it ,itwould be when one of my kids was looking down at me in a hospital telling me I either had a TIA or CVA &asking me why I stopped taking my meds. Every time I’ve left the house I get this knot in my stomach. I take a few deep breathes before I march to my car after checking that my neighbors and my son’s family don’t need me to pick up anything. My insurance company causes me to use Walmart. I have avoided going there up until today because every time I passed it the parking lot was packed more than Christmas time.
I was pleasantly surprised to see when I arrived that Walmart has closed one entrance to the store and they are only letting in a certain number of people at a time. There’s a line outside and as customers leave they let the same number inside. They have for markers for social distancing and arrows to direct traffic to aid in preventing people bumping into one another. And oh, before you get in you MUST put on your mask. And that brings me to my anger. Livid. Enraged. Inflamed. PISSED OFF!!!!! Stupid people were actually putting on their masks to get in the store and I passed numerous idiots who had lowered them and could be possibly infecting the air! Then a family of four gets in the checkout line behind me. As I’m trying to settle my bill, as of course I had to wait for my prescription so I took advantage of the time by picking up a few odds and ends that would prevent another trip out;a young girl just missed brushing up against me as she tried to help her father and younger sibling put their groceries on the conveyer belt I spun around with the quickness of a teenager texting. If looks could kill her parents would have been weeping. Her mother watched me and took a few steps back. Then the father stepped up and over the social distancing line again and I went ballistic. This mutha had the audacity to tell me I needed to step back he was fine. I told him I have wrapped my share of corpses in my time he better hope his isn’t next.
At that the cashier told the family to move back and calm down. I’m considering ordering a pepper spray gun. And just start to spray these dumb mother fuckers. A recent start done by Harvard showed social distancing is key in slowing down the growth/spread of the virus and the five states not using it have a faster infection rate. You know when HIV was still “new” the hospital had us health care workers used to have us cover up so that by the time we were done we looked like an astronaut before we walked into a patient’s room. The more they learned about transmission the less we wore until universal precautions were introduced meaning every PT was to be treated as if infected with. Hopefully we will all look back on this time and remember how horrific it was to see the tragedy it is and be grateful scientists came out with treatment and we no longer have to deal with stupid people.
Deeeep breath. All the feels.

Wow!
never trust a person who talk to their pets in their normal voice
Everyone can support someone living with HIV. There is no cure, but HIV treatment means people can live longer, healthier lives. Questions? Healthcare providers have answers. You can also visit HelpStopTheVirus.com
A better, more positive Tumblr
Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.
Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).
Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.
So what is changing?
Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.
Why are we doing this?
It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.
Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.
So what’s next?
Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.
Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.
Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.
Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.

Silly girls
One of the easiest ways to give your man away is to discuss your sex life with your friends. You see, the things you maythinkareboring or ridiculous they are taking notes on and trying to find a way to them. Very loudly these two young women are talking sitting on the swings in the playground across the street and my nose is telling me Mary Jane is with them as well. They are loud and their voices are like Brillo pad rough. My sleeping pill is fighting them and losing. I toss a dress on and mosey over to them as I’d already tried ghetto communication i.e. yelling shut up out the window. I explained that most of the tenants in my building were older and they were disrupting our sleep & personally I wasn’t interested in the lack of tricks her man couldn’t or wouldn’t do that’s not making love. And you don’t share too much intimacy with others. A lady never tells. They were ripped. Offering me drugs no thank ya very much. They did quiet down.
It’s been a long time
Meow. It’s been such a long time since I paid any attention to my blog. I need to get back to it. It’s something my friends and some family told me I was good at and I miss it. It can be quite therapeutic. I’ve got an entire portable drive I purchased dedicated to it with much space to fill up. I need to get to it and stop wasting time.

Yep. Who’d a thought?
“Ringo isn’t even the best drummer in the Beatles”
So true but it’s something that must be done.
I
Haven’t used this in such a long time though I’ve wanted to. I have to locate my hard drive and figure out how to reuse this all over again. I have so much to say and not. Working from my phone I can already see won’t work as it didn’t before but once I locate my hard drive there the answersbe and I can organize my thoughts as least a little better even thought everything sooner or latter comes back to my heartbeat. I’ll get it done Right now I cannot even find my own home page so I have a lot to relearn.
Fun zodiac facts here!
