I haven't noticed anything, but I'll look some more.

Each post now has a block around it. When you scroll to the bottom of the page to the word "top" it is now at the very bottom. Other than that my day so far has been good.

Ok, I see it now. I must be honest and say that I didn't notice any changes. That means I'm not paying much attention. I use several Christian forums, and that's the excuse I'm going to use.

Excuse is accepted.

Today is going to be an adventure for my wife and I. We will be seeing a new doctor and using a new pharmacy for the first time in many years. Both are close to our new home. This is due to our recent move to Central Oklahoma. We'll have to see if we made wise choices, but I think that we did.

Today I'm just not my usual blatherskite.

I'm going to make that my word for the day. I like it. Blatherskite has a pleasant ring to it. Thanks for adding this to my vocabulary.

Unfamiliar as I am with so-many 'Americanisms', I had-to
LOOK this-one 'up'

I did however know, the meaning of BLATHER
but that did not help me understand the word, as-used

Gathered up towels and put them in the wash. The cycle has just finished. Spent a long time waking my daughter - she has an endoscopy today and wasn't going to be able to eat after 11 - in the end she had about 2 bites of toast and 2 gulps of orange squash.

Having a cup of tea now.

Ps We have the word 'blether' here, which means to talk nonsense.

My wife and I are getting ready to go spend the evening with 4 of our 5 grandsons. It's nice to be so close after our move - about 5 minutes away. We are enjoying our new home.

Busy, busy, out of the ordinary, but what a day it was. Beautiful indeed.

I was busy yesterday, but I had a pretty lazy day today. I did manage to get a few constructive things done, but I mainly relaxed today. I'm retired, so I have no need of getting in a big hurry for anything.

We started our day here with a 5.6 magnitude earthquake in North Central Oklahoma near Pawnee. This was about 7.02 A.M. and it rattled our house. We first thought that someone was breaking in when we heard things crashing to the floor. My wife and I were still sleeping at the time of the quake, so it was a rude awakening. We give thanks that our only damage appears to be several broken items that were shaken off our fireplace mantle. Sadly, one of the broken items is a clock given to my wife for her retirement. We're still looking for damage, but we already know that we're fortunate.

I heard about this on the news and I wondered how far from Pawnee do you live. Surely not that far being that you are also in North Central Okla. I pray that you find all the rest of your things ok.

Thursday was my last normal day, laid back. Friday is my normal chore day and was going as usual and other things and people got thrown into the mix and mixed. The sorting out, prioritizing, and handling in their order of priority throw me late on all things that needed to be handled.

Finished up with the last of the chores by 6p today (after the LSU game, and a good western movie.) All n all an average laid back day. I'm also retired 357. Retirement is good. Laid back!

Pawnee and the epicenter of the earthquake are about 75 miles NE of where we live, Edmond, Oklahoma. The earthquake was strong enough to be felt in several surrounding states. Our home is just North of NE Oklahoma City. We didn't find any more damage, so we feel blessed. I don't think we have any insurance coverage for earthquakes, so our main concern would be structural damage to our house.

Praying for you brother.

Thank you. I think that prayer is one of the nicest things we can do for each other.
