You will all know by now that #Trump fell asleep, again, during a meeting in the White House.

Cats - yes, they always long to go higher. This one is already on top of the livingroom door but is looking for something more.

That may be so but we are dependent on the Clinic that supplies all the equipment. They only check us once a year (in the Autumn). I think it's more about the quality of the air, and possibly the tubing.

2026-02-01 17:08:15 UTC

This will only be understood by those using a mask for CPAP.
I had annoying rainout, so to solve that I removed the humidifier (emptied the water). That worked for one night and was a blessed relief, BUT then I got a runny nose and constant sneezing, plus a very itchy eye.
Looked it up online and as I suspected it was the lack of moisturized air.
So now I have a limited choice, wet drops with rainout, or runny nose and sneezing, or no mask at all.
No mask last night, but this cannot continue.

I didn't know you could order boxed cats now! This one was very satisfactory. Plus, he arrived on Caturday which was fortunate.

It happened again, and I still don't know why or how... my Tablet (which I had charged to 100 percent just before bedtime) was at ZERO percent this morning, so much so that I could not even restart it. It was no longer active in any way.
I run a firewall plus I put it in airplane mode when I am not using it, so I have no idea what happened. I am recharging it right now, so I will see what might have happened.

2025-11-11 16:28:52 UTC

I'm really annoyed now. Someone just ten minutes ago drove into the side of our car parked in the Post Office carpark, and left without admitting to it.
My husband was inside the PO and didn't see anything.
There a huge dent and scrape. What kind of person does that and then just drives away?

Oh dear, this is a struggle I can identify with, although I'm not trying to assemble my butterfly wings. I feel like he's obtained them from IKEA and is reading the instructions but not making any progress. Can you sympathize from personal experience? I can.

To solve a few problems I am using an old laptop, formerly used by my husband (so I have created a new login).
This meant I had to install various things, like Chrome... but when I signed in to Chrome, lo and behold, it loaded all my extensions, bookmarks, saved sites... everything.
I am amazed, but also asking, where did it get that data? If it's saved it to its servers isn't that a bit insecure?

Occupy Democrats:
#Trump goes full dictator and announces that he will be seizing control of the Washington, DC Metropolitan police in a "historic action" designed to "take the capital back."
Trump announced that he will be deploying 800 National Guard troops to the city to battle "out of control" crimes rates.
That is a flagrant violation of The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 which expressly forbids the U.S. military from conducting “law enforcement” operations within the US.

They can't catch a break... first an earthquake/tsunami and now a volcano.
The Klyuchevskoy volcano, the tallest and most active in Eurasia, erupted late Wednesday, following a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake.
Just hours after the quake, the Klyuchevskoy volcano roared to life and lava began descending down its western slope, accompanied by powerful explosions and a fiery glow visible for miles.

Scary! Hubby has (I just learn) been getting phone messages from supposedly his daughter, first saying she has got a new phone and then today asking for money.
I knew at once it was a scammer (because I've seen this routine mentioned online so often) but he is naive and trusting... he just happened to come and show me the WhatsApp message asking for money, and I KNEW what it meant.
Turns out his phone has been hacked and he will have to get a new number if possible.

Trump now openly calling for the deportation of U.S. citizens. “We have a lot of bad people ... many of them were born in our country. | think we ought to get them the hell out of here too.” That's not immigration policy. That's fascism with a passport scanner. He's not talking about “illegals” anymore. He's talking about you. About anyone who disagrees. About journalists. Activists. Protesters.

A million people living near a stretch of the Mississippi River have been warned they could face "once in a lifetime" rainfall.
A man and his teenage daughter, whose home was destroyed in western Tennessee, were among the dead, along with a man whose pickup truck struck downed powerlines in Indiana.
Fatalities were also reported in Missouri and thousands of properties have been left without power.

"Get ready to experience the power of Trump Mobile," the website proclaims alongside an image of a golden mobile phone.
Positioned as an alternative to telecom giants like AT&T and T-Mobile, the new mobile venture is apparently an effort to court conservative consumers with promises of phones made in America.

Something new and disturbing to add to my wariness of Amazon and its devices. For the first time ever, I looked at the "sharing" section on our Amazon account and then discovered in the "Family" section a login for a child named Herbert and another unnamed child.
We have no children!
BUT (here is where it gets scary) we have often talked about an imaginary son we call Herbert, just for a laugh. It seems the Amazon devices in our home have picked that up as real and added him to our family page.

2025-05-16 17:02:49 UTC

When has there ever been a President or any politician who speaks like this? If he was an unknown person writing on social media his posts and probably his account would be removed for these insults. This is so far beyond normal that I wonder what he will do next!

A productive morning, moving, checking and throwing away a LOT of packing boxes for items we bought over the last few years.
I keep product boxes for a while in case whatever they held needs to be returned.
There are also items that have been replaced recently (like the router) and I'm hanging onto the older version just in case.
Are you ruthless about throwing everything away, or do you store things for a while "just in case"?

Can you believe how treacherous Musk is? He says: "Ukraine frontline would collapse if I turned off my Starlink internet system."
Starlink terminals have played a vital role in securing communications in the war in Ukraine, with most battlefield positions equipped with their own terminal.
Last year, Ukraine said around 42,000 terminals were in operation across the military, hospitals, businesses and aid organisations.

Oh boy. I mentioned this yesterday but today it got worse. The people that peddle conspiracies are now turning their attention to the Trump/Zelensky debate and circulating what is in effect Russian disinformation online, stirring up arguments and debate... and what they are saying is ludicrous.
These are the hard-line Trumpite Magats, ignorant of history, wide open to anything that supports their beloved leader.

After the recent Trump/Zelenskyy spat, and all the reports about that everywhere, now I am seeing comments and posts about the history behind the Ukraine/Russia conflict and comments about Zelenskyy himself.
I'm just reporting this in case anyone else has encountered it, and saying I really do not know what, if any, truth there is in these reports.
I need to look into it but don't know where to being. (Plus, I am mentally not really up to reading a mass of historical research.)

How many of you dislike these new bottle caps?
How many of you, like me, often cut the cap off - because I've never had a problem either losing, discarding or not replacing the cap in the past.
Problem is, you turn the cap, it comes partly off, you have to twist it to get it to dangle on the plastic thread, then when you drink or pour, the damn cap keeps getting in the way.
I have had water spill all over the table because the cap slipped back in the line of fire.

European leaders, excluded from US talks with Russia on the future of Ukraine, are holding a hastily convened meeting of their own on Monday. and that demonstrates the high level of alarm at the new world order.
As well as the UK, others attending include Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the Netherlands and Denmark - as well as the president of the European Council, the president of the European Commission and the secretary general of NATO.

Microsoft have, in effect, taken over sales of laptops.
Laptops now come preinstalled with MS 365 (for which you need to pay after the first year) and, worse, it's "Windows-S" which I discover means a version you can't turn off without huge penalties, a version that will only use MS products.
"Windows in S mode is a setting that prioritizes security and performance by allowing only apps from the Microsoft Store and restricting access to the command line"

In a press conference this week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the $50m was located by the Department of Government Efficiency, a new task force created by Trump and led by billionaire Elon Musk.
It was later revealed that it was referring to a province in Mozambique. Gaza is a rural province in the African nation and is the country's least populated, with an estimated population of just over one million people.

In conversation this morning, I mentioned that something was very tasty. Immediately both I and hubby started singing, "they're tasty, tasty, very very tasty....." and then I said, good grief how old are we??
But then we sang the Shake&Vac advert as well. (Shake and vac and bring the freshness back...)
How many of you do that same??

Our internet connction dropped briefly last night.
I wouldn't have been aware of that, or even cared about it, BUT the Alexa echo screen decided to announce it anyway, by putting a very bright screen up all through the night.
Why have I not thrown this abomination out of the window yet??

The internet feels like it’s falling apart. The platforms that undergird our everyday experiences online feel shaky, pulsing with the first foreshocks of a collapse.
To start, nothing seems to work anymore. Google’s search engine once provided directory-level assistance to the denizens of the internet. Now it’s chock full of ads, sidebars, SEO-optimized clickbait, and artificial intelligence-powered guesstimations of possible answers to peoples’ questions.

No, sorry I should have worded that better. I meant the company that sold me the computer had pre-installed it with various programs.

I have been running all the scenarios through my troubled mind, including reformatting and then installing Win10, but I would lose all that the company had pre-installed including Outlook. I now have questions that seem to have no answer, after having scoured the internet for help.

The computer I bought already had Windows 11 pre-installed and when I switched it on first time, it started this long process of logging me in to Windows and my MS account. So far I have had NO choice in the matter.

2024-12-13 16:02:42 UTC

I hate Microsoft!! It's worse than Google, if that is possible.
My new comp finally arrived and before I can set it up it goes into a LONG routine (not possible to exit or opt out) making me agree to about ten screens of MS things by default.
I did say no to whatever I could, but it still demanded that I become a slave to Microsoft and its products. I was forced to sign in to my Microsoft account as well.
And I stress, I haven't even got to the Windows desktop yet.
ARGHHHHH.

Poor Santa, but what did he expect? Years ago chimneys were big enough for a man or at least a boy to slide down. Maybe that is how this myth began. But tell me why Santa has to come down the chimney. Couldn't he just knock on the door like a normal person.

Ooooh no, I hadn't realised that.

I had a very disturbing morning. I woke feeling "something is not right" and then was so tired that I dozed for an hour after breakfast.
During that time I "became" somebody else in dreams, and it was SO real that when I woke up I couldn't shake it off.
I honestly felt like I had lost my mind. Slowly the feelings wore off, and I returned to me. But it was scary!!

I am hoping these were all real sounds. I have identified one this morning, the alarm sound was in fact my husband's watch, which beeps when separated from his phone, and he had gone to the toilet.

2024-11-26 08:36:39 UTC

I am beginning to wonder if auditory hallucinations are possible while in semi sleep.
This morning I heard a sound that I eventually identified as a clock alarm although I don't use one.
Recently, too, I heard a woman say hello, and two nights ago screaming and shouting as if in a fight, although possibly that could have been outside.... but nobody else heard it.
These noises sound totally authentic but I am wondering.
