alums

 We received exiting offers exclusive to alums today


    They were exciting insurance plans from University of Minnesota and UC Davis, sent to Jackie and me because we are "devoted alumni" of the 2 universities.

    I wonder what degrees we got since we never attended either one!

    All 4 letters used the same language and forms.  I know it is just a marketing ploy, but think of the money they wasted by sending them to us.  On the bright side, it does help the postal system.

    We didn't get the ice and snow that was predicted.  We did have a glaze, but areas around us had more, if I understood the reports.

    I have used may snowblower once.  We have not seen the guy who plows our driveway at all, except for when he stopped by and said he was plowing again this year.    Snow is a no show this winter.

    But, there are still a few days until spring, regardless of what the groundhog predicts.

    The message of "end racism" has been removed from the Super Bowl stadium.  Guess somebody did not want to offend The Orange Felon, who is planning to attend the game.  I know lots of players had that message on their helmets, it will be interesting to see if they still do.

    It will be interesting to  if Tay Tay gets more exposure than the felon.  If so, she will be on his enemies list.  Of course when the felon tells it, he will have more exposure.

    Sorry to be rambling.  

    We had an incident this morning in the shower.  I missed the chair and Jackie slid to the floor.  Luckily Julia was here, something I won't be able to say in about 6 weeks.

    No injuries, and we got her up easily.

    But I had a meltdown.  

    Julia found a chair that may be better because the arms lift, something our transfer chair does not.  This is also a transfer chair and I hope irt makes it safer, and easier, for me to move her.

    A downer note to end tonight, eh?

Peace and Love

  1. Terry, I’ve been reading your blog for years and I’ve never met you!! I do know Emily, though, via Greyhounds. I have seen a commercial on WGN morning news for a company in Montgomery, IL named RampNow. They sell and install all sorts of mobility equipment and solutions that may help out at your home. I just looked at their website and it might be worth looking into. The website is rampnow.com. I hope you find some help from these folks. -Donna
