OT WE 9 JUL 25 ~ Symmetry


~

One of the things that came up this week
guess bearing on the snoop death incident
there was brought-up a reference to a project
which has withered away but not died yet.

My latest list of contact info from people here
that volunteered phone, address, email whatever
is still available (found on an old thumb drive)
If anyone is interested in this, just pm me.

OT so go ahead.

You sent me that list awhile back, but you might now have updates which would be nice to have.

Hope all is well in your world, and the boats are are afloat. The garden grows and requires daily harvests. Still trying to keep up with the mowing. Fortunately we've been getting moderate rain. Saw the NM was flooding yesterday with houses swept away. In the TX hill country some areas had more than 2 feet of rain. Seems the remnant of Tropical Storm Barry sat in place and dumped its moisture.

Well take care and thanks for the OT!

I can try to send the file
via pm, but otherwise you are
not listed? Maybe keeping it too
close to the chest.

Good luck with the mowers.
We had torrential downpours
yesterday, was like driving submerged.
More incoming which makes my boat
projects stalled.

In looking over the characters listed
on the spreadsheet, it is woefully thin.
Some of the current OT publishers are
existent, several of the regular commenters
have supported the project along with the
occasional drop-ins
and many deceased or otherwise absent
members. 29 total all-in.
OK, that's it for now.

We are all torn between maintaining some anonymity and unmasking and actually making a personal online friend.
Thing is, nobody should be so shrouded in anonymity that they can't be reached when they are in desperate need.
I have one felony case on the court docket this morning. A DWI (driving while intoxicated). The arresting officer in this 7 year old case is dead. Who testifies for the State? Hmmm...I didn't quote the guy a fee. I just told him to come to the house and do some fence clearing. I am going to give him some metal to salvage. We have a trailer load of things like fence posts, pick and shovel blades, hinges, stuff like that. He can make some $ at the salvage yard.
He is old, can only work 3 hours a day, but Dear One says he is a workin' son of a bitch. The fence line is proof positive.
I want your opinion. Do I go to Petsmart to buy Sam a collar and leash, or do I order specialty "Snoopy" dog stuff?

Thanks for the OT, dear friend.

you must be psyched to have a new pet incoming
have no clue as to what doggies prefer, but older dogs
seem to be somewhat comfortable with their collars
whereas puppies have trouble adapting.
had a dog once that was able to chew thru its collar
so decided that animal must remain collar-free

I like how you are able to negotiate fees with your clients.

And it seems this contact list project has reached
its termination point. Anonymity is a non-starter in a
personalized space.

For what it is worth - I like the idea of solid color PetSmart leash and collar and a snoopy identification tag like this one.

spreadsheet, the most recent seems to have a "creation" date of June 2021 and appears to have last been accessed when I (or you?) updated it for Alligator Ed's passing. First entry is row 3, you, and last entry is row 37 for some dude in Texas identified only as admin. My info is unchanged, so if there are updates you could e-mail me a copy of the latest.

Sorry the rain is holding things up there. Principal issue here, as usual, is lack of said moisture from the sky which impacts a lot too. Harvested my garlic, mostly on the small side, partly because shaded by a tree for part of the growing season and, most likely, not enough water (I'm a pretty erratic gardener). Nonetheless is has been picked and will be used, so I've got to refresh and re-invigorate the soil and plant something else.

Hope you re making progress taming your new machine.

be well and have a good one

have no real recollection of the when's or wherefores
of the 'updates' but kinda suspected the one I had was
somehow not current. Perhaps you could email that dude
in Alabama with the latest thing you have on your 'outer.

Have fun with the garlicky things!

somewhere.
I will try to locate it and confirm it's date of creation.
I had thought it was over concerns that the site could get blacklisted or the internet itself could get compromised/shut down.
I kind of remember it being much earlier than '21. Like around 2017 or 18.
Anyway, thanks for bringing that up. It is needed for an added perk of calling for a "welfare check" on a community member who suddenly goes silent.
It may have been too late for Snoopydawg, but it probably saved Sam from a terrible death.
We all remember Gene Hackman and his wife passing away and leaving their dog in the closet to succumb to a horrible death.

Zionism is a social disease

With the sudden and unexpected death of Snoopy, it has shown how people need to make at least a few connections. As previously mentioned, I was a case manager for the elderly. Basically, my job was to sign off on getting individuals assistance in order to stay in their homes. These may include having some housekeeping, personal care, meals, and alert devices.

A large majority were widowed women living alone. We were always telling the clients to please let the office know if they were not going to be home. Whenever a worker would show up and no one would answer the door we would have to locate their emergency contact to find out where they were. Many times it was an unexpected trip to the hospital.

I don’t know most people’s age here or their health problems, but no one gets younger with time. I believe that a large majority here are over 60. Most programs for elderly assistance start at 60, when many people are still quite healthy. All 50 states have them. And even if you are younger, you may need to look into getting help for your parents or other relatives.

I’m fortunate that I have several acres where my son was able to put a place of his own on my property. So, I see someone daily. I had two widowed, elderly neighbors, (now deceased), who used to call each other every day to check on each other. My county also has a service where I believe a volunteer who works at the 911 emergency offices has a list of elderly and disabled residents who they call every day. If they don’t answer, a deputy is sent out to check the situation.

Those of you with spouses are extremely blessed. There is someone close to call an ambulance in case you pass out and need immediate help.

@Enchantress

My best guess is the average age of participants here
is closer to 70 and some of us do network together.
Having recently experienced a stroke and seizure
episode makes your comment personally important.
This is partially why I am encouraging us to stay
connected. Thanks.
