Hello, Friends!
Yesterday, my car was overheated and I pulled over immediately. I am glad I did and my car is still at H H Tires where I dropped it off. So far, they have been honest and forthcoming with me.
Travis made me aware that my radiator is busted and I need a new thermostat.
Because of social distancing, I did not wait and I am glad, because they still have the vehicle hours later!
With this time, I walked to Walmart where to purchase toilet paper. On my way, I passed Big O Tires service center.
I do not think much of them. Here is my google review.
Anyway, to Walmart I went. I was slightly amused at a man pushing a shopping cart up and down the aisles, cursing on the phone as he went. He was annoyed with the amount of customers in the store. He was still there when I left with the much needed softness. Our napkin stash was quite abrasive.
I began the long walk home, bounty in hand, following the track marks.
My journey home continued and I was flushed. I took the plunge and leaped accross, nearly wiping out!
I remembered my elders being upset about misuse of toilet paper when I was a kid. With the lack of available product. I can see why. When you are out, you are out, and this is a big deal.
Once home, I was applauded as a hero for making the porcelain throne great again.
While at Walmart, I also purchased peas and planted them. Hopefully, they come up soon!
Thanks For Stopping By Today, Friends!

grateful for your journey that’s life and the way -you made it beautiful and graceful gives me hope for better days to come
There is a blessed hope in Jesus, Friend! Thank you for reading and for your kind words! I appreciate you. Do you drink coffee?
yup coffe an tea. Amen I agree on that blessed Hope in Jesus
☕ 🍵 here! I poured you both! I will drink the one you want less!
That was a very post.. haha.. Hope you are doing well glad to hear you found tp
Thank you, Debby! I am happy to have found it as well!
I bet! don’t let yourself fall into “empty” 😉
We were already reduced to using napkins.
Haha, – the times – can be rough ..
Indeed!
It’s how we roll.
Where are you at?
Home. You?
Yeah but I mean which state are you at?
The Mountain Standard Time one. You?
I am from Colorado. When I asked you, you were vague last time.
Yeah I travel around a lot but currently stuck in San Francisco I really like it here though
Way cool!
Yeah flowers in my hair and stuff 😀
I hear there is a large homeless population there.
Yes it is and it’s kind of a mess because they can’t frequently wash their hands and the city has been confiscating their personal belongings as usual meaning they were left more suspectable for the disease. Currently they’re moving them to auditoriums, churches and stateproperties although the problem is still far from being resolved.. pretty sad
Sounds like a tough situation. What is your quality of life like over there?
I can’t complain, there are many people who come to visit me and bring me presents just because I’m so cute 😉 How about yourself?
I am going to work as my job is essential. I don’t give gifts to men and cannot judge if they are cute.
Where did that come from?
You are not a man?
I was a bit of a tomboy when I was younger grew up with three older brothers..
Fair enough! Someday, I am looking forward to seeing the young lady worthy of gifts during this trying time.
I do admit I am not that young, but cute definitely!
I am sure you are, Friend!
Whatever… talk to the hand !
Your speech reveals a lot about you.
It only reveals that I am trying to be funny..
😊
Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow.
Sounds Good.
See you around cowboy 😉
How long have you been on the road?
For as long as I’ve been doing SEO work, I absolutely love it that I can travel without the need to take a vacation.
I want to believe you so badly.
Making money online is not as hard as you may think. Here on wordpress alone are many people who wish to start a business and require help with linkbuilding for example. You just need to know where to look.
Do you have a lot of backlinks, Debby?
Not on this site because it’s new, but I use two dedicated servers to host websites for clients
Oh, I see. I do wish you well in your sales!
Thank you 🙂
If you need a managed hosting for your wordpress blog keep me in mind.
I am self hosted. Thank you for your consideration. What is your favorite thing to do in San Francisco?
I’m sorry, but this was funny!
Ha ha! Thank you!
You’re welcome!
I am going to change up the Food Award.
Uh oh. Did I not ask good enough questions?
They were excellent! I am going to change the rules.
Honestly, that sounds super creepy!
I am lost. Great questions, Lydia. I do not like the way the rules are presented for the award. I am going to tweak them a little more to my liking when I nominate others.
You make it look bad on my part.
Hey! Good for you! You’re lost. That was my goal.
You did everything perfectly, Lydia! Stop beating yourself up.
Beating myself up is fun!!! Especially when my bro thinks it’s not.
Only your big brother gets to pick on you. Everyone else that tries gets it.
You’re never suppose to end a sentence with “it”
You should know that by now.
I get it. Don’t end a sentence with “it”.
Or at least I think that’s right. Isn’t it?
Lol
What are you laughing at? I asked you a question. I expect an answer.
I am not sure as to the answer.
I just googled it. I was wrong.
I would expect you to be used to it.
🙄
Is “it” a preposition? I know you’re not suppose to end a sentence with a preposition. Your dad made that a joke on his “about” page. I died laughing. He used the word “in” for the last word and yeah! AWESOME SAUCE!
No, “it” is not a preposition. About, Above, Below, Between, Beside, For, From, In, Into
I need to go into the corner and hide.
Why? For having a conversation?
No. I’m suppose to be graduating in April.
Ummm if “it” isn’t a prep, what is it?
A Pronoun
You sure?
Pretty sure!
I’m so stupid
Stop it!
What did I do wrong this time?
You were talking down about yourself
Yeah. It’s just what I do!
Uhh… Stop doing that!
Who are you to tell me to stop?
Your Brother.
Duh. Right. Well, I’ll chew on that.
Umm, yeah, you signed on the dotted line……………. I am the big mouth brother. You are the snotty nosed little sister.
Exactly! That makes you way more special than me. My name sounds like trash.
Agggghhh.
Got you! I’m trash I’m trash I’m trash. Hey, I could write a song!
Hmmm. New Blog Post Material!
What?
Yessss. Steeples Fingers
Ummm ok!
I asked my English teacher, “Is “it” a preposition?”
What did she say?
She said “Yes.” I laughed and said, “No, it’s not!”
It is not a preposition. It is a pronoun.
I know. She said, “No, wait. It’s pronoun.” I asked how and why and she told me.
Great Job!
But I do have to ask you this. What is your definition of the word “empathy”?
Mine or the dictionary?
Yours cuz I already know the dictionary’s.
I understand a lot of times where someone is coming from, but I do not always connect with their feelings on the matter.
Is that the definition?
What is empathy to you, Lydia?
Ok. Sympathy is when you feel badly, sorry, or compassionate about what a person is going through. Empathy is not just caring, but for real knowing what a person is going through and feeling it. Example: my mom dies. You feel sorry. That’s sympathy. Empathy is my mom dying and you can relate because your mom died too.
I see. I believe you thoroughly explained this. A lot of times, I look through the eyes of a prison gaurd.
I still can’t believe you’ve have prison experience.
That is likely due to the way I portray myself.
You’re too good for that
To good for being in a prison setting?
Yeah
Ha ha!
I was serious. Not sure how you got there.
Perhaps I will blog about it.
Just don’t throw me in prison.
Ha Ha! I will not!
I bet you would!
Hmmmm.. No.
At least you say “no”
I’m soooooooo tired. It’s almost 10 pm
Get Some Rest!
I have to wait till 10 pm. No earlier, no later!
I don’t drink coffee… maybe that’s why.
Could Be.
I think so.
Good night brother.
Speaking of English, I have to do that right now. My last subject. Talk to you later.
Sounds Great!
Not really, but ok
Enjoy it!
That the funnest English lesson I ever had!
Wut r u taking bowt
Oh my word! You need to go back to……. 9th grade.
I totally understand this.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I couldn’t hold that in any longer.
There is toilet paper so it is ok, isn’t it?
Oh! I’m gonna cry!
🚽 😢
ew
Well, I have figured out a place that I don’t want to go any more. I like H&H though. They have always done right by me, too.
Petty legit so far!
Quite the adventure!
No Doubt
Nice read. Does your urban farm generate income? Or is it more of a liability?
Well, lighting fires can be a liability if you are not careful. Growing vegetables is nearly always profitable for me. Raising animals is expensive, but keeps us in hard times if there is a shortage of things. For instance, I have recently posted a lot of egg dishes, but eggs are not always available due to shipping concerns during these tough times. Great Question!
Okay. Look forward to seeing your peas plant’s photos.
Hopefully, the come up!
Hopefully.
I was trying to plant some green grams today. They grow quite fast, from my past experience. But my soil seems really infertile. (It is a small pot)
Any ideas for making it better?
Under lockdown, it is impossible to buy manure or fertiliser.
Would something like wet strips of thin paper or whole wheat flour work? Or maybe small amounts of ashes?
I am not sure what green grams are. Please leave me a link for reference. Coffee or tea water has small amounts of nitrogen to my knowledge. There is no nutritional content in paper for your plants. Ashes are good in very small amounts, but will burn your plant.
Is your plant growing yet or is it still in the ground? If your plant has not even grown, the seeds could be bad.
If you email me a picture of the dirt, I possibly can help, but no guarantees.
Well green grams are mostly found in Asia. I guess you won’t know about them.
I just sowed the seeds a few hours ago, so it has obviously not grown yet.
I added small amounts of ash and flour and paper, and the soil looks a million times better. The texture has rather improved. I think it will grow now. If it doesn’t I will share the soil pics to see if you have any idea.
I guess the seeds are good enough. I didn’t buy them for sowing, they are used in some dishes so were already kept at home. I have grown them before with far worse seeds. But everytime for some reason or the other, it couldn’t fully mature. This time I hope it will.
I wish you well! It sounds like a lot of fun!
Now that we all are at home, planting plants is the second best thing we can do for Earth. The first being to stay at home.
🙂
Sounds like a plan!
Sure!
Sadly I have but one pot. This is a great time to start a mini farm.
Maybe come up with a catch tagline and start a movement asking people to grow plants whilst maintaining social distancing.
That is a neat idea!
Be sure and leave a link here!
Why I thought you were starting it?
Oh, you wanted me to come up with a tagline.
If you wish, and then you could post it on your blog. You are the blogstar around here.
I might do it! I will promote the idea and give you credit if you do!
Sure.
Just wondering, how is Vijaypura coming along? 😀
It is notes on a page at this point. I may make it a region on the map. I have a hidden map in development!
A hidden map! That is so exciting!
Waiting for the continuation of the tale.
Absolutely, Ishaan! Real life is imminent right now, but I am working feverishly!!!
You are a laborious man for sure!
Few people work so hard on their blogs. Or even in their job.
Thank You, Little Brother! I appreciate your words!
Thank you sir!
My order of wild flower & loofah seeds arrived (from England!) so I need to get on a gardening mood soon.
I love the tp adventure! I still haven’t found any.
That is exciting! You will have to post pictures of your plants! I wish you well on yohr TP search!
Wonderful journey🌷
Thank you! What kinds of things are you doing during these tough times?
Oh.pure vegetarian things😁
Vegetables are yummy! I like broccoli and arugula!
Wonderful,dear!!
Reading,writing and house works.
That sounds about like us! We are trying to make it fun though!
Yeah.right,my dear!!why tear on corona if we all have take our best care.yeah.we should do to try some helps for victims.when i laugh then automatically be silent because of this devil coronavirus and think about how i can help for victims.
We should do what we can!
I am trying to do that whatever i cañ do.
When I planted peas, they have rotten roots =(
Too much water is likely the cause. It may be something else as well, like the ph of the soil. It could also be a disease in the soil.
Could be all. I had success of the dwarf snowpeas though
Stick with the variety that works in your soil. If you have a chance to cross pollinate the flowers of the successful plants, this variety of plant will be more likely to succeed in your soil type. I really like these gardening questions!
👍thanks
Absolutely! It is always a priveledge to have you at the Campfire!
