In an effort to lighten my mood today (worrying about the MiL) I've written a bit of a silly post today.

@kiwi2002 True, my life took a different path and for that, I'm happy.

๐ŸŒธ Tourists go nuts on this street. Standing in the middle of the road, blocking traffic, for Instagram shots.

A vibrant tree covered in purple blossoms is set against a backdrop of green foliage and a white building with windows. The sky is partly cloudy, allowing sunlight to filter through the branches and highlight the flowers.

I just got a panicked call from my OH to tell me the mother in law has been rushed into hospital. It seems she had a terrible tumble while getting out of the bath, this morning, hit her head and broke her nose. Sheโ€™s in her 80s. This is not good on any level. The poor woman managed to crawl to the phone and call my sister in law, who in turn called for an ambulance and then, rushed from her place of work not 10 minutes away (she works in ... https://alexink.micro.blog/2024/05/16/i-just-got.html

It's clear that the only way to escape intrusive and constant advertising is to completely isolate yourself from society.

The Vanishing Triangle โญ๏ธโญ๏ธ
TV show 2024
Watched May 13, 2024

Well, that was one hell of a surprise, and not a good one. We started watching this one mainly because itโ€™s on Acorn TV and advertised next to one of our fav shows, Brokenwood Mysteries, and on the same night. And, for the most part, it was interesting enough. A damaged reporter gets a clue, 15 years after the murder of her mother, that might lead her to the ... https://alexink.micro.blog/2024/05/15/the-vanishing-triangle.html

@toddztoonz We both sat there staring at the screen as the credits rolled and ... there was no explanation, no real conclusion.

I had the bright idea of putting peanut butter on a wrap, adding strawberry jam and microwaving it for 15 seconds, spreading it, and rolling it into a tube.

You really don't want to see the mess it made when I bit into it ๐Ÿ˜…

No offense to those who enjoy the green, but is there some kind of "kalespiracy" happening these days? One of my goto stores apparently loves to sneak into more and more of its product offerings. I've tried it umpteen times, prepared different ways, but the taste buds are threatening to go on strike if it crosses their paths again. Would be interesting if Dr. Seuss was still around, tried kale, disliked it, and was inspired to create a sequel to "Green Eggs and Ham" from the experience. ๐Ÿ˜„

@toddztoonz I wouldn't mind if it tasted good, but it's just plain nasty. NASTY!

Prison Break https://louplummer.lol/post/prison-break Note: As an unabashed and outspoken progressive, I feel like I need to explain how I came to be a part of the prison industrial complex in the south. If you are interested in how that happened, you can read this explanation.

@amerpie Oh, I hear you, half of what we did in our younger years would probably cripple us today. And we've both been through this shit more than once.

๐Ÿ˜‹ Marmite peanut butter for breakfast. I haven't eaten that for a while, Amazon deliveries in the US turned out a mess. So I bought a couple of jars while in Britain and opened one this morning. Delicious.

@ctt I'll take you at your word, David, but I'm not sure I'll give this one a taste out!!
