I guess when picking out your wardrobe for the winter months. You are not supposed to wear white. My mom followed that rule and I have heard it mentioned thru my life.
Dont know if is still that way!
I was trying to be funny!?
I am losing my touch!?

I think it most probably because I am going into summer and not winter like you guys. We also don't have snow, so there is no reason not to wear white, it would not make a difference. So no, you are not loosing your touch, my location just didn't get the reference. ?

Hey Ray, US Navy personnel often use on/about 1 October for their official uniform color shift from Summer Whites to Winter Blues. It’s very regional, not a firm date.

Heres an old Navy Times article. I’m sure some things have changed


➡️➡️ Alaskan sailors changed over when they went back to work after Labor Day, as did those in Washington State. Other sailors don’t need to worry about it, though: sailors in south Florida stay in whites year-round.

Okay. I had to go searching last night for a battery for my car spare remote. So I only arrived home late last night. So here is a picture last night in the dark and then I took another one this morning. But I must admit the pictures don't do it justice.

OMG! That's beautiful! Let's hope the vandal leaves it alone now. I love it!!!

I don't understand why anybody wears white, for that reason. It just doesn't meet the risk assessment criteria for me to actually wear it. ;)

When I lived in the UK, any time I glimpsed a game of cricket, I wondered if I'd walked into a laundry commercial! ?

This is California's wildfire location map. I thought California was going to break off from the continent during a large earthquake and fall into the ocean, but from the map, it looks like we're going to burn up instead.

If you squint and look hard, you can see a darker ring around the edges of the Valley where Fresno and Sacramento are. I'd love to see a picture of the valley from space, because from down here on the ground, it's filled with smoke.

Yeesh. Pity we can't send rain in that direction. The Gulf Coast is saturated and expecting more.

He’s really well! Got his first shower last night. He’s getting around like he only had a cold. Would you believe that he met a woman while in the hospital?? One of his nurses apparently shared a connection with him and they exchanged numbers. Dad told me she was from the Phillipines.. I said That was great! He needs someone beside me to take care of him. I hope she’s willing to move to the country though because I don’t believe I’ll be making many trips to Houston... LOL... ONLY DAD!!!
Sounds like a perfect match.

That's true. No white in winter but it's probably because when you live in snowy areas you could wind up being roadkill. Unless you get a mud bath.?

Oh dear. I really hope they can get it under control.

Okay take this with a grain of salt! I was watching Kamp Kennan and he showed his buddy that used Shower Enclosures for his reptiles-mostly for snakes with the verticle climb. I was like dumbfounded it was just as bad as when the Grow Tent Enclosure started. I will build my leopard his heated nightbox, but NOTHING ELSE
. 1598388232466.png$470 at home depot and I i have to buy is some 2x4's to make wall frames and plywood for the roof. I comes with a drain hole and is easy to drill through.

Here's some information for both of you. When you can see a confrontation coming...In MY experience, the more aggressive and angry (sorta crazy) you act during this confrontation, the more "normal" people even when angry will back down. Unfortunately, I am not afraid of confrontation but did discover that most people will back away from a fight. I am 5'6" and weight 111 lbs. But have a nasty temper, people back down from me. Not because I think I'm a badass, but because they think I'm crazy....lol and I am!

I think I just found my REAL sister!!!!!!!
That sounds exactly like me. Why can’t people just live their own lives instead of infringing on others around them?? I bet they would hate it if I did half the things to them that they have done to me!
I don’t like “easy going people”. They ALWAYS “easy go” onto MY personal space!!! ?
Now, (like in the old school days) I just smile and don’t say anything... until one day their mail is missing ??? ?. Or their car gets blocked in by my husband ...?
Do I need anger management classes??
Why am I so bitter???
I just want to be left alone. To enjoy my family..or whatever..
I don’t do confrontation or ringing of doors at all hours of the night.
One case comes to mind.
when my neighbor first moved in next-door he parked his U-Haul in my driveway blocking my car in (it is like one big driveway in between two houses, but there IS a left side AND a right side .) he parked his car and his wife’s car in a straight lane then the uhaul was parked in front of my car on the side of theirs).
Left it there overnight and I had work at 4:30 the next morning. When I went to my car started it.... I turn the lights on ..and saw the U-Haul.
If there’s such a thing as human spontaneous combustion I would have not been surprised if my head blew off! …....
I get out the car and had to bang all up and down his vinyl siding after ringing BOTH front and back door bells a bunch of times with no answer. And I was late for work to boot and shaking like a leaf!
you know what he said!!!?????!!!!!!!
As he answered the door in his underwear
(A sight I cannot Ever unsee) He said....
....AND I QUOTE!
“ oh,...(stretching arms)...(yawn)....sorry”
??????????????
??????????????
