Busy day and as usual, I am exhausted. Great visit with doc though. She is awesome. She has refused the covid shot and has denied giving it to pregnant women due to miscarriages. She goes to all the medical board meetings and she said 95% of the doctors there have declined to get the jab due to it being AN EXPERIMENTAL DRUG with NO DAMAGES TO BE CHARGED on the MAKERS OF THE EXPERIMENTAL DRUG, and too many women are miscarrying babies after getting it. She said GATES is behind all this crap, along with Fauci, who BOTH have publicly stated (at least Gates has) that the earth is overpopulated and SHE thinks this shot will get rid of old people faster and babies being born so the overpopulation can be lessened. This, she said, is what they talk about at these meetings and in general..they do NOT TRUST THAT SHOT, no matter who makes it. They have no clue what any long term effects will or may happen and it's more risky than the damn covid itself, which is a BAD FLU but nefarious people are using it scare people to take it. Like old people, who do it because they think they won't be able to fly to see their grandkids (Fauci), or eventually buy food or even get groceries. SCARE TACTICS is being used and people are dying not of the covid..they are dying now FROM THE SHOT. And...they won't wear masks because they are worthless. It's all about control and how sad it is that we gave up our rights so EASILY.

This, from my general practitioner. Also from my pain management Doc. I trust Dr. Suez more than I do Fauci.

Anyway...I have to get blood tests tomorrow, she told me what suppliments I should take and how often, scheduled me for my wrist with another doctor, ordered an RX for the Wellbutrin so I can try AGAIN to stop smoking, and in general thinks my doldrums are mainly from stress, depression and my ptsd from Paradise along with HATING where I live currently. So I called around and found another place with a 6 month waiting list, which beats 2 to 5 year wait. And it's nearer to Anne, my friend (25 miles), small town (8000 people) but close enough to Chico (22 miles) for medical issues although they do have clinics for regular checkups and whatnot. So...now I wait. Again.

Y'all may or may not know that I have occasional lucid dreams....I become aware in my dreams that I am dreaming, and can do all sorts of supernatural stuff.

Have had some fun experiences, odd experiences, and ones that I haven't yet quite figured out.

Now it has been discovered that lucid dreamers can actually communicate with one another in their dreams.

Seems clear to me that our consciousness is something that isn't just something that is reliant on our physical being.


In separate experiments, scientists in the U.S., France, Germany and the Netherlands asked people simple questions while they slept. Sleepers would respond by moving their eyes or twitching their faces in a certain way to indicate their answers.


"Since the '80s, we've known that lucid dreamers can communicate out of dreams by using these signals," says Karen Konkoly, a Ph.D. student at Northwestern University who is the first author on the study published this month in Current Biology.


"But we were wondering, can we also communicate in? Can we ask people questions that they could actually hear in their dreams that we could kind of have a more meaningful conversation?"

Gallantwarrior and I have had lucid dream experiences, but they keep me pretty busy and I don't know how socializing with others would fit into them. I always find them interesting though, and sometimes frustrating that I can't make happen what I want to happen sometimes.

Eons ago my doc put me on welbutrin, it jacked my blood pressure way up and it appears to have that effect on quite a few. Most doctors today won't prescribe it for smoking cessation especially not with all the better drugs available.

I wanted chantix....but medicare/Medi-cal won't pay for it. My only choice was Wellbutrin. I will monitor my BP and if it skyrockets...then I will stop taking it.

Saturday morning!

A lot of the good cartoons are getting pulled down across a lot of sources....Watch them while you still can.

Let the cartoon begin!

I'm making my Mom's dill bread today - ancient family recipe! This makes me feel close to her; she used to make it a lot when I was a kid.

I've been in the mood to bake lately too and keep putting it off. Maybe you'll motivate me to find the time.

I find baking to be a bit cathartic...especially yeast breads. You can't rush slow food.

Same here. I can put all my anger, frustrations, disappointment, but also my passions, joy and love into that bread. And when I don't rush the process, the results can be glorious. +

Warm Comfort Drinks- my ex- sister-in-law used to, at Christmas time, warm apple cider with cinnamon sticks. I tried but could never quite match hers.

A couple months ago, I tried Tazo tea, Dream label because chamomile is alleged to help you sleep better- not that I have trouble sleeping all that much, but, hey, who doesn't like to sleep better. Right?

Anyway, I've tried other chamomile teas and wasn't impressed, but, I thought I'd give the Dream label a try-

I heat 6 to 7 oz of water in the microwave in a ceramic cup- my microwave is 1100 watts- for 1 min 40 sec
I pour the hot water over 2 bags of the Dream tea to which I've already placed a soft peppermint candy- and let it steep for 4 minutes- comfort!

Hombre (my hubby) and I have never been hot tea drinkers until recently and for whatever reason I bought some herbal tea some months ago and we've been enjoying hot tea in the evening ever since. I bought some Celestial Seasonings Sleepy Time tea, chamomile flavored w/vanilla, lemon grass, & spearment. We haven't tried that yet but will report when we do.

I added Sleepy Time to my little strawberry flavored melatonin tablet & got the best sleep ever. Just sayin.

My bronchial pneumonia is back for the umpteenth time in 3 years. Please put me on the list for waking up tomorrow morning, foxfire. Love yall. ♡♡♡ & have a blessed week ahead.

I was really sad to find that most of my choices for this morning had been pulled.

I'm a giant Tex Avery aficionado, and most of his toons have been pulled from Vimeo.

I'm going to take exception to a couple things here; 1, need is basic; air, water, food, shelter and clothing- everything else is a want/desire-

Words mean things- the meme picture posted is feel good crap, simply because it used the wrong word in the title- sorry, but it is what it is-

The desires are not needs, they are wants- let's look at "asking for your needs to be met"- by whom, from whom? Words mean things. Period. Desensitizing is carried out through words- when one becomes desenstized one makes choices that can be harmful, not only to one self, but others as well- affirmation quotes, spoken aloud, are much more helpful for achieving peace of mind, and, an added benefit is they soothe a savage beast- they redirect, in a positive way, vs what the above pictures (with words attached) do, which is self pity through acknowledging a lack of- whatever-

Be thankful for what you have is a better choice instead of lamenting about what you wish you had-

No sleep last night, sitting in an upright chair all night stopped the wheezing a good part of the night, and I got some serious time on watching a dozen or so of Forensics Files, and didn't see more than one rerun. Thanks for the prayers up. I think it was one of our former regulars, Ernie who used to say "Every day you wake up is a good one." /touch of nostalgia...

Prayers up for you to kick nicotine in the butt. My mama died of an aneurism at age 47 on account of a 3 packs a day habit for 33 years. She was so young, and I missed her wise advice on. Childrearing.
