CUBA? Africa? America? Australia?
Our respite from reality.
More hints to come... soon?

Wondering how often in the last few weeks that I wrote about...
...my health?
Not too much lately, hmm?
So I suppose that I could write a bit tonight, if that's alright with you all? I can't hear you! So I guess I will take that as a YES!
See not a genuine southerner, even after thirty-one years of living here full-time, natives will not allow you to claim to native-ness, but I do try at times to use the dialect for sweetness and light, ya know?
Any-who, today has not been a very good one.
My back problems that have something to do with my Multiple Sclerosis as well as my spinal stenosis can really create havoc with me moving, ya know what I mean?
MS is a short circuit, or stripping of the fatty layer known as the myelin sheath covering the nerves that carry electrical signals, and stenosis is narrowing of the bones in my spine, put them together and what have you got?
A VERY BIG OUCH!
Not that I am complaining, oh yes I am, but after all neither are lethal, just gosh darn annoying and painful! Though feeling pain is sometimes better than NOT feeling pain, if ya know what I mean?
After weaning myself down from the 1200 mg. of Gabapentin to only 600 mg. once again a few weeks ago; I am in no mood to go back up, pun intended, at this time!
So here I lie in bed again; arriving via my convertible walker transformed into a transporter, Hubby did the rolling me into the bed, and basically this is where I have been since breakfast!
NOT GOOD!
Well, all I can say is we gotta do we gotta do!
Moving on...
The rain today has been fairly regular, although reaching a fever pitch of intensity just a while ago.
Sounded like a deluge! Earlier, just gentle, nearly not more than a mist, a whisper perhaps, but not really even a peep.
One thing this state of Florida and Texas and the islands do not need is more rain!
See Cape Coral all that worry months ago about their browned out lawns?
Now they were hit pretty darn hard by Hurricane Irma and many seawalls took the brunt of the water saturation due to street flooding, and in turn those seawalls came tumbling down, and the cost to repair them without being insured, since no companies were said to insure them is a price tag in the tens of thousands of dollars for each home! And its your own responsibility not the city's. I heard one mention of 50K just for the seawall! Some have the maintenance in their tax base, but not them, if I understand right.
And their mayor there worries about a housing problem with people leaving them due to them being unable to pay for repairs and having upside down mortgages, and all those homes without seawalls threatening falling into canals! SCARY!
Hope all works out for them.
FEMA could be the answer, since it is hurricane related and FEMA does have very low interest loans.
Lying here with my shades already drawn due to the rain causing premature darkness along with the gloom that such days bring, it does give one time to reflect though.
Perhaps, Hubby and I and Gus should hit the road and get out of here?
Who knows...sounds like a great idea to me!
On that note of trying to make lemonade out of lemons, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to share all those blessings and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
SAVE THE WORLD AND SAVE YOURSELF!

The answer!
Eureka! Voila! By George I got it!
Are just a meager few of the laments from people in the know or at least think that they are.
But it always does depend on the question(s), doesn't it?
How many on here, yes here, on the internet have looked for other people to tell them about themselves?
From horoscopes to support groups to people who want to make you the best you that you can be!
For me personally, I think of the above lists as just for entertainment purposes, ya know?
Excluding the military, and a lot of support groups, other individuals in the MAKE YOU A BETTER YOU associations for a price are somewhat suspect and should you become approached on here or without your techno device with promises to making you smarter that is without going back to a formal education school college of higher learning etc., or make you richer, thinner, better skin, better credit rating etc. tread lightly and investigate thoroughly! You are a perfect you! Help yourself and you can succeed in anything you put your mind to!
I'm just saying.
And another thing to all the people that need work done after the hurricanes also be cautious when hiring people ask friends or family for people that they have hired prior to this devastation that did very good work, or ask for your family and friends to help to fix and repair, DON'T GET SCAMMED BY CON ARTISTS!
Just thinking...
Moving on...
"Asymptote: definition: noun
a line that continually approaches a given curve but does not meet it at any finite distance." Sorta like most nights the point of this blog, ha!
Thanks to: Google's dictionary.
The above new to me word was on a piece of paper left in a cryptic message in the Netflix TV series that I have just finished, Longmire that is an originals series and I just watched the all of the five seasons that were available and found out there with be a sixth, hooray!
For a few seasons it had been on A&E though, so that is what originally confused me from whence it came, and its recent claiming of being a Netflix Original.
Any-who, the above word in all my sixty-seven years I had not heard of it, apparently still learning something new everyday! That's the way I like it uh huh, uh huh, uh, huh!
That other word, dotard that I learned a few days ago, a noun also by the way, meaning an old person, especially one who has become weak or senile that one we all learned, or maybe I just did and you all knew, but boy that one word expresses so many of our ideas of what we had been thinking about you know who... Hits a wee bit too close to home, me... nah not yet!
Not senile yet anyway, weak and getting as old as I can get daily by choice the old not the weak! Thank you very much!
So after this my viewing pleasures will consist of the reboot of Will and Grace at 9 P.M.EST on NBC tonight
and then a strong search before it and after it for more interesting shows on Netflix... a few that I have watched will be coming back over the next few weeks, but meantime I will have to look for interim series.
And you?
On that note please allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to share your blessings and we will too!
