Text of the page (random words):
ow as i left the area second time around the complex coming up on a little under a mile same route which is my usual upon reaching that corner where i d turned right to loop around the grassy knoll pass by the laundry room where ernie was i instead looped left to bypass the area ernie could still see me but i wasn t in hugging distance however before i was out of ernie s line of sight i heard someone calling my name it was dream lover i paused he approached and i chatted with him just long enough to ask how he was doing commenting that he looked like he was feeling better he said he was made a joke about his situation that i can t recall except the word drama was used then i moved to continue heading to end the walk at my unit he continued to wherever he was going it wasn t but a few steps when it hit me drean lover and i had been in full view of ernie he had to have seen me stop dream lover trot on over our brief exchange i empath feel the emotions of others so knowing ernie is crushing on me knew he was probably overthinking what he d seen probably a little hurt i felt bad and backtracked towards the laundry room ernie hurried out to meet me before i arrived i quickly said don t be jealous ernie did have a funny look on his face but said don t worry i know you were just talking hugged me again 2 0 d my neck after which i moved to finish the walk he returned to the laundry room so dear readers that happened what do you make of my being concerned about ernie s feelings i d be lying if i said i wasn t flattered at being crushed on at my age but i don t think my actions were anything other than my not wanting to see his feelings hurt i long ago clocked ernie as a sensitive soul quick and easy to be hurt so i was just being considerate one human to another human how does nasa organize a party they plan it planet why could the bicycle not stand on its own because it was too two tired posted by bootsandbraids at 2 26 pm 16 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels at the bank neighbors stuff guys do monday april 27 2026 waste of time i m not talking about yet another fake assassination attempt though i am getting a kick out of the memes the latest desperate attempt to distract from the epstein files the economy and iran have generated the waste of time i m referring to is painted rock lady asking me to make flyers one for a cert class she wants to teach and one for game day fun where we would have different games in the clubhouse the last flyer being what kind of games residents would like to play i have no idea what cert is don t have a problem designing flyers for her in fact we re having a client meeting in the community room tomorrow so i can get an idea of what she the client has in mind i just think she won t find many residents interested in either even attendance at bingo appears to be declining as the usual suspects pass away or move and none of the new residents join in but i ll do the flyers let her spin her wheels i may have a new neighbor on the 2nd floor landing soon after no prep work being done on the vacant unit since next door neighbor moved away i heard the sound of drills hammering saw a painter enter the unit on friday what s left of that doormat disappeared and today there s a barrage of activity someone bringing in new blinds new carpet being installed hammering banging stapling i doubt i ll see a potential new resident come to view the unit they don t do that here they did when i moved in under a different management group i was asked what did i have in mind to which i replied lots and lots of sunlight the leasing agent pulled out her clipboard with a list of units available led me to this one first and as soon as she opened the door i broke out in a big smile didn t need to see any other unit this one felt perfect and remains so now folks just seem to move in sometimes in the dead of night sometimes just quietly materialize i don t know if this is because folks are moving in from out of state designate upstairs or downstairs and just take what s available as next door neighbor did or if the county needs to quickly place someone in a unit sight unseen as prepping the unit is now on a fast track i ll soon have a new neighbor to come up with a blog name for i hope the person likes halloween doesn t spook easy at my decorations

the activity calendar indicated today kesha tuesday was to be easter celebration fun arts and crafts session there was no fun arts and crafts but the tea was banging to start with i wore the lock him up tee to see if it would trigger our maga neighbor walking into the room i was met with the smell of fresh pizza and kesha running up to me clipboard in hand before i d even got to a seat asking me to sign her attendance sheet i was tempted to pass on signing pretend to be writing and not do it but it was just the usual suspects in the room not enough residents to get away with that had others known kesha would actually show up no arts crafts but there would be fresh pizza others would have come maga did not attend however at one point i checked mail saw i had lots of mail and packages because i d not checked the box for a while went to the car for a bag to be able to get the haul back upstairs heading back to the community room i heard someone call my name it was maga coming up on the rear to greet me she had to have seen the back of the tee which depicts her lord and savior s august 23 booking photo no reaction i made a point to stop turn around so she could see the lock him up front i mentioned there was pizza in the community room but she said she was on her way to take another resident to pick up medication and continued on with still no reaction to the tee damn she s good at holding it in arriving back at the community room i told talker i d just run into her stalker and that maga had no reaction to the tee talker said she too had recently tested maga walked up to her and said something about two dolls not being jesus or the pope and got no reaction from maga interesting i don t think maga has reformed just knows that thanks to all that s going on she no longer has legs to stand on in supporting him has wisely decided to sit down keep her mouth shut opinions to herself checking with the ladies as to how crafty lady is doing with her heart issues it s still not good looks like she s going to have an operation something about putting a watchman in her chest to help with blood clots heading for her brain lu did not attend the event but dream lover did in chatting with him about nothing in particular he suddenly blurted out i m no longer with the other i knew he meant he and lu are no longer a couple for now said i forever said he and went on to say the relationship was like a light switch turned on and off off and on on and off off and on and that he couldn t take it any longer which of you turned it off this time i asked she did said he and went on to describe a situation where she broke it off because of money that she is a gold digger that he had a heart to give her but not the money the straw that broke the camel s back was her wanting to celebrate his birthday by taking him to dinner whereupon he d said for someone who is always complaining about needing money he didn t think it was a good idea after which she telephoned and broke up with him at this point in his story he kind of slumped over and seemed on the verge of tears he was obviously hurt hurting i told him how sorry i was that i didn t realize lu had meant that much to him he admitted that she meant a lot that he d given her a ring and was thinking of marriage gee willikers dream lover was actually in love i didn t know old people did that kinda stuff hearts flowers courting love i asked how he d handle it if she tried to lure him back he s all heartbroke says he can t take any more is working hard to stay busy move forward and stay away from relationships period especially around here anything can happen when you screw around where you work or live said i it creates problems if there s a breakup you still have to see the other person deal with it when you see them with someone else it s why we are told don t eat where you sh t that brought him out of the doldrums dream lover laughed and laughed and laughed told me of having heard that phrase before but put in different words she has demons you know what her daughter told me she has demons good lord i was shocked to learn lu was a hoarder now i m even more shocked to learn she has demons what does that mean how does it manifest itself asked i i don t know said he that he had never seen her when that was happening i guess he s lucky she broke up with him rather than have an episode and sacrifice him to some demon church lady used to live in the unit next to lu church lady complained of bad spirits demons being there and got away relocated to the opposite side of the complex i wonder if what church lady felt was coming from lu so anyway after having been a shoulder for dream lover lifting him out of his doldrums i told him to take care of himself said goodbye to everyone and returned to my unit with a full teacup posted by bootsandbraids at 3 55 pm 26 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels activity director easter neighbors politics senior activities tuesday april 14 2026 i wonder seeing the above meme on facebook this morning i wondered do the ones that got us into this mess really have the decency to be embarrassed admit that for no good reason they supported a man that has a history of business failures and debauchery i don t think so my old buddy apache comes to mind he s stubborn which i sense many supporters are stubborn will make excuses for the man refuse to have been wrong then there s our maga neighbor i don t know what she s thinking these days about him i haven t heard of any political conversations going on so i may have to bait her see how she reacts when his name comes up easter was on sunday april 5 the activity calendar for april indicates easter celebration april 21 fun arts and crafts session that s a lot late to celebrate easter and i highly doubt there will be anything other than a bag of potato chips if that but it gives me an opportunity to find out if kesha is still around plus an opportunity to bait maga by wearing my lock him up tee shirt see if her jaws tighten lol speaking of maga when last i spoke of her talker was full up with maga trying to get too close be talker s bestie asking too many personal questions interrogations talker describes it talker was going to find a nice way to tell maga she s doing too much making her feel uncomfortable and if that didn t work i ll have to take it to the next level yesterday as i was going back forth to the laundry room i ran into talker who tells me nice didn t work that she told her becoming besties is not something that can be forced it s something that happens organically maga is not only not hearing it but is also now targeting the baker asking pointed questions interrogating which prompted talker to tell the baker to be careful of responding to maga s interrogations nice not working trying to avoid not working talker s next move might be losing her sh t screaming leave me alone stay tuned today was the first day in a while where i didn t feel like emotional and physical crap maybe it was because instead of reheating last night s leftover baked potatoes in the microwave for breakfast with an egg i made stovetop potatoes from scratch and didn t feel sick after eating see mike s very illuminating post on reheating certain foods i even had enough energy to suit up in walking gear head out for a stroll around the complex coming back to life is slow going i could only handle 1 mile and it took me 32 minutes to do so 14 minutes longer than my previous personal best

9 2026 false alarm hearing fireworks a while ago at 7 57 pm to be exact i got all excited it s not 4th of july or any other holiday that s celebrated with fireworks so there could only be one other explanation for the hoopla i quick fast googled and got no donald trump is not dead i didn t even have to use his proper name the internet identified him from one of his many pseudonyms lol at any rate the fireworks were a false alarm how dare they get my hopes up like that possibly cause a fire for no reason save it for when it counts there was something on facebook the other night asking if it happens while you re asleep do you want to be awakened funny how it was that everyone understood what the it was it s like we re all waiting hoping some praying for it of course everyone replied yes they wanted to be awakened so they could uncork the bubbly dance in the street and two responses really tickled me one said that if he was in the middle of having surgery he wanted to be awakened the other wanted to be awakened from a coma posted by bootsandbraids at 8 45 pm 28 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels politics older posts home
