It is probably something like the cord (or the socket) least...but if worse comes to worse, secondhand monitors are pretty easy to get and not very expensive at all here...I suspect it will be the same there

I was de-boning a rotissarie chix. today and chuckling about how i washed my hands...i used Dawn dish-soap.
Hbee, my BFF thinks i had the symptoms of salmonella when i was so sick about 10-12 days ago...Is Purina manufactured by P&G? i rarely touch the dry food, i use a scoopie thing, i have clorox-cleanup wipies for the counter and the step of the litterbox...(yes my cats have a brownstone litterbox townhouse....Mr. Fandy purchased it because Slim is such a wide-body and he needed the space).

I sure missed alot of great whines. I feel like a stranger if I'm gone from here for even one day. Would love to have a magic wand to make all your food, health, and computer whines go away. My friends would have all their problems fixed and could start fresh again.
My whine is lame compared to all of yours. I have a check-up tomorrow & promised my doctor I'd lose weight before I saw her again. Hmmm - wonder how much I can lose between now and 3:00pm tomorrow.

Rained, no....POURED.... all day for the clambake today.
Sales at the water/soda/adult refreshment station were *way* down.
So were the sales at the merchandise and raffle ticket station.
The best clambake in the East Bay,
hasn't raised their price in 10 years or more.
Still $25 a head, for ALL you can eat...
And it's a REAL BAKE -- not a boil.
I was soaked from the moment I got there.
Sneakers, socks and pants were wet completely, even though there were tents.
People who were eating were under a pavilion.
They were bone dry.
Water was leaking throughout all the tents.
And we were standing in puddles the entire time...
They still made money.
Thankfully.
Don't know the tally yet,
but, it wasn't what it *could* have been,
and what it has been in the past.
My siblings and spouses came to my house after.
Had a nice time.
They saw my patio, which I've been working on all summer.
I *love* it.
It's my "summer cottage." LOL!
Got it all set up, with ref, micro, hot plate, oven, sink, grill...
everything I need. There's tables, a bench seat, radio, tv, just like a studio apt.
And it's all in a covered patio!
Overlooking my fish pond and my bird house and gardens!
My friend, who came for lunch the other day,
the one I hadn't seen since our 25th HS reunion,
She called it my "oasis."
Sorry, pretty much a brag there, rather than a whine!
But, the rain was a good enough whine, I guess, no? :>)
Good night, whiners!
Shalom!

OMG LEAST!!!
did you have separation anxiety???
did you have separation anxiety???
I did indeed! I was so depressed and bored I took a nap... and apparently the monitor did too as it was working after my nap!
It seems to like being turned off when not being used... so will do that to see if it helps.I only have a little whine this morning. Little foster dog jumped up on the kitchen chair and then up on the table and ate all the cat food! So I have to push the chair up under the table so he can't use it to jump up on the table! Wow is he ever active! But he's young so I guess that's normal to be so active and into everything...
Other than that, no whines yet... I'll wait until I hear from the computer repair shop after taking the monitor down there... Ck told me it's expected that the monitor would be on it's last legs since it's so old - I've had it four years!! I was born in the 50s and am not used to things being considered useless or obsolete at only four years!!
That's just BS, in my opinion... Just a stupid greedy way to get people to 'buy more stuff'...

My friend, Cricket, with James Taylor!!!
She was eating at a place in Newport. JT came in and ate. Everyone was cool, and let him eat in peace. As he was leaving, Cricket called out, "Hey, James!" So, he came over and posed for a pic with her!!!
Is he super-cool or what!
I just *love* that guy!
Well, I get to go to the dentist today, to get that tooth ground down. *sigh*
Then, since it's another lousy day,
I'll watch a movie Trevor gave me for my birthday.
It's Crash. I've never heard of it, but,
He said I'd really love it.
Then, a nice nap may be in order. :>))
Have a whiny day, all.
Shalom!

I'm upset and immediately thought to come here to lean on my dear, fellow WA friends.
This isn't a whine; it's a real medical scare about my sister.
In trying to diagnose what's caused her to have a short, persistent, dry cough for quite some time, her doctor did a scan of her lungs and it showed a "spot."
She has an appt with a lung specialist tomorrow at 8am to review the scan to determine what the "spot" is {cringe}.
She's never smoked or drank and is our family picture of health, which she said would be all the more ironic that the spot would turn out to be something bad.
I know she's using humor to hide her fear. She kept this info from us so it didn't upset us beforehand. She has a loving husband who I also know is quietly very fearful.
To get her through until tomorrow, she's just going on the premise that the spot will turn out to be nothing.
(My mother did this exact same thing with my father and it turned out badly...lung cancer). I did *not* say this to her of course.
She and I are close. I've offered to be with her; she said it wasn't necessary. I'm still thinking of heading down to be with her but wonder if I'd fall apart and do more harm than good (hence the reason she didn't tell anyone).
She said her husband will be with her if she needs him.
Would you please keep her in your prayers and good thoughts?
Thank you, my friends.

Hbee, when my brother's biopsy came back positve on Xmas eve, we glossed it over. When the first surgery was done, I offered to go to the hospital and sit with my SIL, but she said she was ok, instead she called me after talking with the doctor and getting the DX...(adenoid cystic carcenoma)...the 2nd surgery took place 4 days after that and then aggressive chemo/radiation....2.5 years later he continues to scan clean.
keep in touch and offer to come down when she is recovering after the biopsy, that's when you can really help, just by listening....i had to keep my own feelings in check and respect what they wanted....i helped by doing other family things.
my very best thoughts for you and your sis.
Heavyn google "Booda Clean-step Box"....it is copper gold colored and high round domed for fat-a$$ cats....50% larger!
no whines today, i am too busy....later for sure!

Hbee, prayers going out to your sis and to you. 
I've been on the damn phone all morning it seems. The exterminator is coming back to mom's house tomorrow to spray for fleas - again - and I hope he gets them all this time. Just called the BMV about mom's driving and was told that someone would call me today.... they had better!!
Am feeling very anxious and depressed today. All this stress is burning me out quickly and I feel like sh!t lately. At least I still have a working computer... for now... I am in such a tizzy about all these things that have to be done and I don't have the energy to do them... but will do them anyway, even if I'm dragging my butt...
Tried to get mom's doctor appt moved up sooner than September 17th but no luck. Sent doctor another letter (the fifth one) asking him to prescribe home health care AND an antidepressant/antianxiety med AND do another dementia test on her. It's making me nuts to have to wait almost a month for this to happen. I'd like to just go to sleep and wake up with all this stuff settled...

my whine is about me....it's all about me.... 
I don't know what I want to do 'when I grow up.'
My original plan was to have switched careers (from teaching) about 7 years ago. I stopped working towards my 2nd degree when I realized that career wasn't going to work out as planned. Yadda ...yada....I'm okay with it that things in my life changed and now I'm considering either:
1. finding the perfect job _of any type_ that totally fits my needs at this stage in life
2. starting with a new focus- getting back into school/college for specific training
3. do something related or based on my previous work (teaching/directing prek)
I'm stuck and not getting an answer or any inclination from my HP.....
Ideally, I'd like to be paid to do something I love that is worthwhile, meaningful and flexible regarding hours/schedules etc. I have high aspirations!
btw....I'd still be wanting to this even if I didn't want some extra $$$. Maybe I'll win the lottery and create my own nonprofit org? The Whiners Benevolence Group/ CEO: cmc

Prayers going out for HB's sister...and HB too because it's worrisome to wait.
CMC, I love your Whiners Benevolent Fund, hope you win the lottery. And if you remember, when I whined about wanting just the right job and then it found me?...well, it may find you too. Whiner's are lucky that way, ya know?
My whine is that I have to make dinner. It's just for me because Bubba is working, but I'd rather someone just brought me a nice plate of something good. I don't feel like cooking, but I feel like eating...what a dilemma!!!
