Vexillation got me to googling, Mick. Now I know what it means. So yesterday while out trash picking, I ran into a bag lady collecting aluminum cans. We worked opposite sides of the road for a time, then I walked over to give her the cans from my own stash. She said she was nearly at the capacity of what she could carry, so I offered to give her a lift home. "Oh, no ride," she said, "I try to get in 8 miles a day. It takes effort if you're going to stay in good health." A most surprising encounter! Thinking back, she may have taken me for a bag lady too; I wasn't exactly wearing mascara!

Mae everybody, Pie,that's pretty cool she gets the 8 miles,I often see homeless people and wonder what is up,are they addicted,like being free,mentally gone,just have nowhere to go, etc just gets me thinking, I'm also glad that the Mexican lady in my neighborhood doesn't make a beeline to my house anymore to gather up a million empty tall cans on trash day!! I used to get so embarrassed, I'm sure their income took a hit haha,Mick,good luck out today

so much I wanted to comment on but I'd have to close out,read yesterday's thread again and come back so I will just say I'm grateful for my friends here and I wish you all a marvelous AF Sunday

MAE ALL....

Mick...there's just no end to what you can do. Hope you find some gems today.

Pi...did I miss something? Why were you out trash picking?

Pauly...I often wonder how people end up homeless too and my first thought is addiction. But truly it can be for any reason and I'm grateful I still have a job that pays the rent and family and friends that would be there for me if needed. I know lots of people who are not so fortunate. And now for the positive in your post...I'm also glad that the Mexican lady in my neighborhood doesn't make a beeline to my house anymore to gather up a million empty tall cans on trash day!! LOL You've come a long way.

Spent the morning at a walk in clinic with my son. He had been up all night with abdominal pain/throwing up. Seems he picked up a bug/virus, maybe something he ate? Worst is over and he's sleeping now. Think I might have to have a power nap as well.
Shout out to everyone else....have a Super Sunday....:smile:PPQP

Hope your son is feeling better PPQP, yes,I have come a long way from where I was, sometimes I'd be out for a walk when she was going through the cans and she'd start talking to me in Spanish, I'd just say hi and wonder if she was commenting on the overabundance of cans haha,so embarrassed

Happy Sunday ABadoooodles!

Mick, what an exciting morning you've had, and busy as every I see.

ice cream? I've managed to abstain for a good bit here and trying to keep it up.

Got in a lovely hike/shoot yesterday morn, here's the view from the spot which overlooks our little township and lake:

And a productive Sunday with all manner of chores but also started (carefully) on weightlifting which I miss and taught martial arts at the end of the lake this afternoon, shot from our training spot:

Always grateful to have a relaxing AF weekend, no crappy memories, regrets, pain or any of that dreadful crap we all remember too well.

Pauly, hows things down in the big sleazy town?

seems we have a few missing regulars, hope all is spiffy.

Well, off to check on my curry.

be well loves

Good evening Abbers,

Bedtime but wanted to drop bye & say hello

Busy today with food shopping, work, cooking, nothing exciting!
Mick, we were at zvostvo this morning & I saw metal dectectors for sale. Thought of you but didn't buy one, ha ha. Hope your day went well after the washer fiasco, sorry.
Now that cute little bird really knows how tobeat fish

Pir,walking 8 miles a day is a lot, good for that lady.
Were you out of mascara today???

PQ, sorry your son is sick, 'tis the season for viral illnesses.
Hope you got your power nap!

Pauly, being can free feels pretty good. Agreed?

Det, beautiful pics from your busy AF weekend. Good for you!
