I thought retirement would help my sleep issues. well not so much, yet. The helpful part is I now have time to take naps

@HippieChick58 it's funny, because "retire" is a word we sometimes use to mean "go to bed." it should work! why doesn't it work?

Kinky!! I like that!

I used to have houseplants, and then I got kittens. Before the kittens I had a senior kitty that was blind and didn't bother the plants. I had lots of plants. I love my kittens but I miss my house plants.

and why can't you get a man?seems odd

...coming from @lookinhard, lol!

@Byrdsfan My cats don’t bother my plants and I have a few, houseplants that is.

You are our next Mary Cassatt

I did something similar. I call it "the box".

@LetzGetReal Pretty sure you can't escape that easily.

There was a young lady of Norway,
Who hung by her heels from the doorway.
She said to her man
Get off that Divan
I think I've discovered one more way.

bureaus or bureaux? I've never bothered to look it up, I just spell it in French.

bureaus

@LetzGetReal Heh! Thanks for the advice, but this is a rental and has a sump pump in the basement. Vermont, in general, is a mold factory. A dear friend who is allergic to just about everything installed central AC to help with the problem. I've tried convincing my ex, as well as various housemates that cleaning is a good idea, but... Once I get my own place, they can all mold in peace.

Added later: I have a bunkbed I bought used that is in various bits... as soon as I clear some room in my room, I'll assemble it. If I could afford a new mattress, I'd have bought one long ago.

Here in Spain one can buy pretty cheap aerosols of anti-mould spray for walls, etc, that allow one to re-enter the room after a couple of hours.
Surely a land as advanced as the USA would have an equivalent.

@Petter Yes, please... a url or brand names would be much appreciated.

@LetzGetReal I don't have a URL. I just go into a hardware shop and buy some if I want it. I thought it would be universal.

@LetzGetReal I know Zinc Sulphate is effective against many fungi. (It is the active ingredient in many foot powders, for example). Perhaps this would work? either as a fine powder sprinkled on to a mattress, etc, or as a solution dissolved into pretty hot water then sprayed onto walls.

@LetzGetReal Can't get rid of her. Over 50 years ago I made her a proposition and she took it to mean a proposal.

@Petter Awww! That made me smile

@Jnei It was meant to. I love the humour that can be achieved with words. Glad you enjoyed it.

@LetzGetReal ... and unlucky she !

lol !

I understand what you mean. Last night I was up until 3:30am. It seems the only time I can sleep is when the alarm is going off.

^^^^^ Unabashed Full Frontal Flirt ^^^^^

Wow! I think my heart just stopped. Thank you, great way to start Monday morning!

@LetzGetReal Why, of course. My pleasure.
