Thursday Morning Brief

August 31, 2023 8:24am CST
Can you believe it's Thursday already and the last day of the month? Time flies when you're not looking. How are you all doing with the bank? I can easily say, I won't make my usual payout.
Well, today is Thursday, you know what that means, Canasta. It's always fun, lots of laughter and sometimes treats too. I try to avoid those.
I'll also work on a book or two. I have no plans to go anywhere, though I need to go to Walgreens. I can do that tomorrow.
So today is looking good, relaxed, and easy. I hope.
How's your day going? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

@Marilynda1225 We make so little here, I imagine that most of us are not here for the money. Those who were here for the money already left.

@LadyDuck Anyone coming here thinking they would make a fortune are mistaken. You and I along with lots of other folks have been chatting here for years. I really and truly enjoy the time I spend here chatting with strangers who have now become friends

I agree Anna. I enjoy being here and have always said it's not for the money.

Sounds like you have a good day planned. When I go somewhere treats abound...I try to have gum in my mouth...good thing to have to keep from popping things in my mouth just because they are there.

Nobody is making as much as we were... but the money isn't the thing for myLot. I'm still enjoying visiting with people, so that kind of "payout" is still going very well.
I've even got somebody who is pretending to stalk me here.
I'm glad you're enjoying your day.

I know, doesn't time fly?
I'll be getting about $7 from MyLot next month. It took me ages to accumulate that amount.
I hope your day is successful in whatever you do.

Thursday is day old baked goods day here, and today was jam-packed full of bread. It's funny. Look at how much bread fed the masses Biblically. Now, think about America. Americans love their sugar and many can't fathom a meal without bread. Yet, when faced with the option of day old rye bread, Asiago and cheese bagels, apple turnovers, French crullers, etc., they'll decline. Yet, none of it is bad, and much can be frozen for future use. We had so much come today that I took four loaves and am going to grab more tonight since at least that many has been thrown out recently.

I cannot remember how Thursday was but today is ok so far. I found out that they do not have new plastics for my scooter so when I go I have to leave my scooter and the the person that fixed my plastic will make it according to the scooter is what I understand and not sure how much that will cost or how long it will take. We have our Jewish holidays starting next Friday and will be Friday night, Saturday and Sunday and then we will have our day of Atonement and a fast day after the two days and night of our Jewish New Year and last our holiday of Sukkot and someone will put my succa up for me on the 19th and then have to decorate it and be ready for the holiday. I love that holiday and feel a part of it for sure because I have a succa. I hope it will fit on this porch we have. By the way I noticed you have a new profile picture. It is very nice.

@LindaOHio Yes, it is, but such fun! Winter is almost here. I've been waiting a long time to see snow again.

I have not yet received “payout” for rarely attending. Sometimes I feel not confident because my English is not good

There are many people here whose first language isn't English. They persevere and trust that people will understand what they say. I don't fault anyone who isn't fluid in English. The more you are here and interact, the better your English will become. I hear many people say that is the reason they are here - to improve their English. You aren't alone.

I'm not making payout this month either. It just seems like it's been exceptionally slow lately.
Enjoy your Thursday and Canasta.
I saw this yesterday regarding the Farmers Almanac. They are saying we're going to have a cold winter with lots of snow. I figure you'd be happy to hear that news. Me (not so much ) Should be interesting to see if they're right

@just4him I hope you get all the snow you want this winter We didn't get much last winter either but just enough to be annoying

I hope they are. I don't want another winter like last year. We had snow, just not much or often. We almost didn't have a White Christmas. Thankfully, that didn't happen, and it was white.
I'm sorry you're not making a payout this month. I think it's more a lack of people than anything. It's been slow and empty around these hallowed halls.

sounds like good plans for the day, relaxed is always nice
