Have to say that I love reading about all these raves. Congrats to all for all the good things going on!
Driving home last night from Dinner Theater, no cars on the road, the misty moon was shining and then as I turned to corner to our street the clouds cleared and that wolf moon howled me home. It was the first time in many weeks that I've driven and the first time in months that I drove in the dark, so nerves are a problem. But I basked in the beauty and quiet.
Was out of curiosity checking to see if any of my exes died and saw the most recent one has faced 3 separate domestic assault and battery charges and was sent to jail for 90 days. He was charged with strangulation and witness intimidation and kicked the victim in the face, dragged her across the ground, pushed her to the ground and punched her in the face, and another time punched her in the face injuring her eye.
So glad as someone (Jane?) said to be rid of him, though he was never violent with me.
I'm feeling grateful and sentimental and whatever, but my rave is for the majority of people on this forum who are sooooo friendly, helpful, kind, considerate, etc. When people ask for help or post personal issues or simply just rant or rave - the majority of folks on this forum step up with help, compassion, kindness, suggestions and more. With other things going on in my life at the moment, I'm sooooo grateful for the community of special people here. Thank you all.
End of sappy rave - move on, people. :)
Another sappy rave -
I have this wonderful neighbour who is clearing the snow off my driveway. This is the third time in 10 days.
The garbage and recycling team for our county are working under extreme cold through heavy snow and now ice conditions. I am so grateful for these services.
Wonderful! I've learned that even a simple "thank you" goes a long way. There is a lot to be said for gratitude.Quote:

I never used to think about doing that, but what a difference it makes for the individual actually doing the job! I will always ask for a supervisor in order to sing praises of the employee doing the actual work!
I feel the same way, Happy. This community is very important to me!Quote:

I feel a whole lot better having that money finally. I made some payments on some medical bills that I needed to do. Otherwise, I am going to keep on the lookout for the right position that works for me. I really have to be careful of keeping in mind what I am realistically physically able to do; there is a part of my brain that stills thinks I can run around and lift things and do a lot of repetitive stuff. I swear, I am my own worst enemy at times.
WOOHOO!!! I know what even a little extra money (even an extra $100) can be like when you really need it (when unemployed).Quote:

I didn’t need to participate so had camera and speaker on mute. Did 20.5 miles in 47 minutes. Great use of time. I’ve cancelled the gym membership. I work out 5-6 days a week. Don’t have to get home late. Can do it whenever I like. Don’t have to risk getting the plague.
