Maps, glorious maps.

.

Let’s explore…

.

.

I’m surprised Maine is on the higher side of this. Must be the northern half…

.

.

That’s beyond disturbing.

.

.

This is even more so.

😳

.

.

People do love to live near the water.

.

.

I’m surprised more states in my area aren’t green. New Englanders are traditionally frugal.

.

.

I blame Maine’s rate on the lobster. Who wants to eat it without a pound of melted butter…

😉

.

News you can’t use.

.

I’m hoping to run out of these. But it won’t be today…

.

.

I’ve heard of wardrobe malfunctions… but dental is a new one.

.

.

No thank you. At this stage in my reading glasses for everything life … I need bigger, not smaller.

.

.

I call foul on this one.

.

.

Yes, because everyone goes to McDonald’s for the oatmeal.

.

.

Water.

Come on!

.

.

I know I’m not visiting Florida anytime soon.

.

.

No, they haven’t fixed the issues that cause it. They’re just switching to black… which, when you think about it, is more death like.

.

.

Evolving into… what?

*gulp*

😳

.

Is this the blue/gold dress all over again?

.

Take a look at this image and tell me if you see rectangles or circles.

.

.

Like that extremely annoying blue or gold dress, I can’t understand how anyone could possibly see circles here, but apparently they do.

.

.

This explanation seems bizarre to me.

I don’t live near teepees, but I can still distinguish one from an igloo.

The human brain is a strange piece of work.

🥴

.

Random cat nonsense, and a skunk.

.

I don’t know who invented this or where I can get one, but it’s brilliant.

.

.

Anyone who’s ever stepped in a pile of it barefoot will appreciate a warning sign.

.

.

Cats.

There’re always where you don’t want them.

.

.

And as soon as my husband started rolling coins on the ottoman?

Sleeping cat.

.

.

And cat cleaning privates when your human isn’t paying him enough attention.

🤣

.

.

Huh..

So it is.

.

.

Skunks.

.

.

They’re not always black with a white stripe.

.

.

😊

.

What I’m watching.

.

Since we visited many of the Bellevue Avenue “cottages” in Newport, Rhode Island where this series is filmed?

.

.

Watching season three has been a lot more fun.

.

.

Quirky, admittedly kind of silly, but still entertaining… this show about a robot gone rogue stuck on a planet with futuristic hippies is weird, but watchable.

.

.

Brought to you by the creators of Ted Lasso.. which I adored, this tale of a washed up pro golfer seeking redemption is heartwarming and funny with a great soundtrack. Personally I think Ted Lasso was ten times better… but it’s still worth a look.

.

.

Yes, this is my guilty pleasure. I watched Sex and the City back in the day and like a train wreck… I can’t turn away from its sequel, even though I admit it pales in comparison. The girls are older and the raunch factor has been dialed back considerably but the fashion’s still wild and the ride is still fun.

.

.

I loved dinosaurs when I was a kid… and what can I say?

I love them still.

This BBC series brings them to life with computer animation and yes, I’m all in.

.

.

😊

News you can’t use.

.

You missed this series, admit it.

.

.

I’m not sure that’s something to be proud of, but she certainly looks pleased.

.

.

Nooooo!

Not the cheese.

😫

.

.

I paid $20 for 20 minutes with a few sleeping cats.

Capybaras on my lap and snuggling in my arms?

Sign me up!

.

.

This is the way my town has done trash pickup ever since we’ve lived here. Most places in Maine are the same. $3.50 a tag, one bag per tag.

It makes you more apt to recycle, believe me.

.

.

Is there someone up there who needs to get high…?

.

.

She was at a CBD store, and complained there were no decimal points on the machine. Perhaps she’d sampled too much product?

.

.

I don’t know about scientifically…

But from a lay person’s perspective?

I’m going with it’s happy.

.

Remember when I said I hated digital health care?

.

I’m changing that to despise.

After receiving worrying numbers on my blood tests, I waited for my primary doctor to contact me.

And waited.

And waited…

I called, but she wasn’t there.

I asked for a call back, but she never did.

So I succumbed to the technology I hate and sent her a message on the infernal digital portal.

.

.

Their statement…

.

.

At the end of the second day?

I got this.

.

.

Which puzzled and pissed me off… until I realized it fulfilled their two day time limit on answers and probably saved them grief from the powers that be.

Didn’t help me any though.

The next day?

This…

.

.

Let me get this straight…

I was sick, so I went to the doctors.

They drew blood to see why I was sick.

The results came back abnormal and the reason they give…. is because I was sick?

What kind of twisted medical merry go round is that? I know I was sick, that’s why I went and had blood drawn.

WTF?

Abnormal, but no reason given.

Abnormal, but not abnormal enough to worry.

It’s a good thing I’ve started to feel better by myself because they certainly weren’t helpful.

😡
