June 1st and I decided I need to make this a better month earning on MTurks. I only did about $84 last month. No where near my goal of at least $200. June 1 I earned $9. Today, by 1pm, I have earned $18, so a really good day.
My late morning call to my mom yesterday morning and she was fine and she's feeling fine this morning. I'm going to start keeping a log of how often she doesn't feel well. At some point in the near future I'll be taking her to get established with a doctor and refill some meds, so I want to have a better idea of how often it happens.
DH relaxed yesterday, but did coat the insides of the planter boxes with the roofing stuff. He decided to spend the morning "reacquainting" himself with his firearms and ammo. While being so rural, I doubt any of the craziness going on would come out here, but it's best to be prepared. It would be pretty stupid for anyone to try to attack people or property around here. I honestly can't think of anyone around here who doesn't have firearms.
Not much going on today. DH just went to the town lumber store. He needs more screws and a few pieces of lumber for the inside of his shed to finish trim or something. He moved the new planter boxes out on to the patio but still letting the insides dry from the roofing paint.
My mom has a cable tv tech person coming this afternoon, as I couldn't seem to get her new cable tv box working. With this new box, she will then have access to the "guide" so she can see what shows are on. That dumb tiny little cable box that was supplied when she moved in doesn't have that function, so other than scrolling through every channel, she's had no way of being able to see what's on that she might like to watch or what's coming on soon.
I hope your Mom does very well with the new living arrangements. I am also glad you are close enough to check on her regularly.
ReplyDeleteIt's a big relief to know she is so close by now.
DeleteAs a Brit I'm always amazed that so many people in the US have weapons at home. That's no reflection on anyone of course but it is just such an alien thought to me. Other than the farmer and a couple of hunters I don't know anyone here in France who has them either, although I reckon I could do someone some real damage with my Swiss army knife!
ReplyDeleteI don't think Americans, for the past 200+ years have ever known anything different, with it being our 2nd Amendment right. There's even gun club/shooting range a couple of miles from us. They do a lot to teach youth gun safety, etc. We never had guns until our old neighborhood turned into a drug dealing zone.
DeleteWe have a lot of guns-not hundreds, but maybe 10. I guess I don’t know for sure how many. I have nothing to do with them. My husband hunts, as do my boys. I did make my husband get rid of the hand gun when my kids were little, but he has one again because he bow hunts and the bears, especially grizzlies, are so thick anymore. We have had to shoot a couple problem fox on our property over the years, but They are primarily here for hunting. If my husband didn’t hunt there would not be guns around.
ReplyDeleteI think at a minimum we would have a shotgun for home self defense purposes. He will conceal carry a handgun often when we go places. He has also carried a handgun on our hikes....after we ran into a bear a couple of years ago! I recall my uncle telling me a story of how he keeps a shotgun by his front door (he lives in a large city) and he sells a lot of stuff via Craigslist (cars he fixes up, etc) and had a guy who knocked on his door asking about a car and he told him sorry, it's already been spoken for. The guy got angry and tried to push his way in! Uncle said he picked up his shotgun and held it and that took care of that! The guy changed his mind about trying to get in.
DeleteSome people build and some break down. Whites build this country without bloodshed now we see others breaking it up. The police scene was normal restraint. That black man was sickly and filled with drugs. It is just a pretense. Police brutality is rare. Blacks are some of the most privileged people in the country. Hope Trump sends in the army. We need a military state as this democracy is not working. And i wonder what happened to the Coronavirus fear. Corona is a hoax. We have been saying it all along. They are counting all the old people who died of natural causes and saying it is corona.
