I went outside 4 times today. To and from the car, once for a quick walk outside at lunch, and once at home to start unloading the winter kill off my deck (one pot, but a big one). Baby steps. I'm also fighting a cold, have an elephant on my chest. Early bedtime tonight, maybe.

He's not interested in the breast, and just barely interested in the bottle, oddest thing. He just wants to sleep. I'm hoping that today the milk comes in and he finally decides to wake up. His mama was a sleepy baby too, and didn't care to nurse. When my milk came in she finally woke up and started eating like a champ. She was sleeping 8 hours at 3 weeks and 12 hours not long after. She still likes her sleep.

The world has abundance, there are huge supply chain issues, and greed and avarice amongst those who have the abundance.

@evestrat Well thank you!!

My grandson Austin Franklin was born at 11:06 am today, weighing almost 8 pounds.

RavenCT comments on Apr 21, 2018:

Congratualtions! Adorable baby. Also those hands and feet - I'm betting he's going to be a big boy.

HippieChick58 replies on Apr 21, 2018:

Neither parent is exceptionally tall, in fact my daughter is just the same height I am. But it is fun to wonder and awesome to watch them grow.

Just found out my second grandchild will be arriving this weekend!!

Palindromeman comments on Apr 21, 2018:

Congrats. I cannot even imagine having a child, let alone a grandchild, let alone a second grandchild. Wow, just wow.

HippieChick58 replies on Apr 21, 2018:

Most of the time I enjoyed my kids, sometimes I wanted to drown them, teens are hard! However, as adults they are amazing, and to see your baby with a baby is just beyond amazing.

So this morning before work as usual I went to fire up the laptop.

@Sadoi, he has been rather condescending in his disapproval. I have encountered his "concern" before. I think the needs to be booted out of the group, or otherwise neutralized. His "religion" seems to be anti weed.

HippieChick58 replies on Apr 19, 2018:

@Paul628 I see their stores. One of my kids went to KU and she raved about the store near them, so when they came to Omaha we had to try it. Jimmy John's started by college campuses deliberately, lots of cheap labor and huge market for fast food. I have never noticed the drivers being irresponsible, but I get why they would. I remember the commericals from back when I had cable.

@kenriley I've pretty much stopped looking. I'd say my odds of getting hit by lightening are better than finding a partner. I've been in a house when it was hit by lightning, so I think the odds are strongly against that happening again.

HippieChick58 replies on Apr 18, 2018:

@LorrieS No, I never give money. I estimate that in 8 or so years of online dating I've been asked for over $40,000. I shoulda given up long ago. I've known women who have gone into debt sending money to men for various reasons. One unfriended me on FB. Her "love interest" friended me and gave me the same spiel. I told her and she dropped me like a hot potato. Some women will go to any cost to have a man, even one they haven't met in person. Sometimes I string them along to see where the story goes, I've asked for collateral and identification, amazing the shit they come up with.

This is true, for me at least.

I don't look at work, there are few in my age range, and most of those are married. I recently dropped off of all dating sites. I don't regard this as a dating site. So IF I find a date it will be completely random. I'm not holding my breath.
