The fence quote was just a B I T over what I thought, but still fine.  I am getting over 100 feet of nice vinyl picket fence with one gate.

And the old wooden fence will be taken down AND all debris taken away.....so ....  in the next 6-8 weeks.

Phantom sounds:

I believe I have mentioned that I am occasionally awakened in the wee hours by a doorbell ringing, and sometimes a telephone.  The rings are always singular, so I lay there waiting to see if a second one will come.  They don't unless it's the real thing, which only once since I have been here has happened.

This morning, I was awakened by the sound of a chainsaw...the kind a yardman might use to trim shrubbery.  It was brief...maybe five seconds...and then it stopped.

My first thought was that my yardman, who has promised to stop by next week, might have had a cancellation and started this morning.  But when I checked the clock, it was 7 a.m.   And it did not start up again.

Whatever "this" is, I need it to stop.

It is -- apparently -- mating season for frogs and tree frogs.  There is a pine tree behind my house, and THE MOST GOSH-AWFUL noise emanates from it throughout the evening.

The frogs around the pond are also noisy, but they cannot compare to the tree frog.

Just be glad you don't have a Bullfrog, and yes, we had tree frogs.

That's great for the women who live in more liberal states, but it won't be easy for everyone else who needs an abortion to go to another state to get one.  That can be an incredible hardship for just about everyone...especially low income women.

I haven't had the heart to follow all of the rules regarding this.  It seemed that some of the rules say you can't leave the state for an abortion expecting to not be prosecuted on your return.  I hope I am wrong about this.

That's it. I of course appealed but you can't even write why they're stupidly wrong. They call that hate speech and yet I see racist, homophobic crap every five minutes - that's okay. I mean, I'm ready to disable my account, frankly. I think the world would be a much nice place without Facebook.

Groan.  Vibes it goes well and you recover quickly.

Thanks, DR Jane.  I survived, but it was not fun and I’m a little wiped out.  Also numb.

I have to worry about jaw problems and lingering tooth pain after the work is done, always extra stressful for me.

Often for me it’s pain where the Novocain was injected.

Just got a two-day restriction on Facebook for the following comment in one of the supreme court leak threads, where someone was saying men shouldn't be making these decisions - I responded with: Most men, I find, are jerks. Not all, but the ones who are are easy to spot.

That's it. I of course appealed but you can't even write why they're stupidly wrong. They call that hate speech and yet I see racist, homophobic crap every five minutes - that's okay. I mean, I'm ready to disable my account, frankly. I think the world would be a much nice place without Facebook.

Wow, considering all the similar comments out there.  At least it is only two days.

Wednesday afternoon greetings!  After 2 days of fun with friends, I have a not-so-fun dental appointment today to have a crown removed, cavity addressed, and prep done for a replacement crown.  All in all, I'd rather be having lunch with friends.

I still have pain where the injection went into a nerve.  Fortunately after 30 years it is greatly reduced.

Finished Attica. Devastating. I knew a little of the ending, but not the full extent to which Republican racism led to innocent deaths. Plus, the degradation of hostages and inmates alike. Highly recommended, but definitely not for everyone.

Starting a far more light-hearted German flick called I’m Your Man. A single researcher agrees to take in a robot designed to be her ideal mate. It’s like a distaff version of Her without the pity. Dan Stevens from Downton Abbey is the robot.  It’s fun and slightly weird so far.

Back from choir rehearsal. They are doing a "cabaret" after church on an upcoming Sunday (with adults and all the kids as well) with an "OZ" theme: songs from The Wizard of Oz, The Wiz, and Wicked. Should I start looking for a green suit?

Where they burn books, they will ultimately burn people as well.

Great quote from the 1930s cited in the Barbara Pym bio I’m reading.

From George:
Quote
That's great for the women who live in more liberal states, but it won't be easy for everyone else who needs an abortion to go to another state to get one.  That can be an incredible hardship for just about everyone...especially low income women.

I haven't had the heart to follow all of the rules regarding this.  It seemed that some of the rules say you can't leave the state for an abortion expecting to not be prosecuted on your return.  I hope I am wrong about this.

It's all f*cking bullsh*t!  It's just about control...and NOTHING else.  Certainly not their religion.

Not to get political, but here's a Twitter thread about how:

"For Jews who can become pregnant, access to abortion services is a religious *requirement*, and has been for thousands of years. Surprised? Let's dig into some of the texts...."
