I don’t get much exercise. By that, I mean I don’t participate in any regular, repetitive actions where the primary purpose is to move muscles and blood. My physical activity tends to come from whatever project has caught my attention, whether from necessity or for amusement, usually the latter. Being the kind of obsessive personality I am, I tend to go at things all or nothing, so when I’m active, I tend to be very active. Of course, when I’m not active, I sit a lot. So, I figure if I physically work hard two months and sit around the next two months, I’m doing all right on average. Right?

Unfortunately, although I enjoy it too, most of American Pickers is planned ahead of time. They “happened” to stop in Pensacola at a restaurant where the top dogs happened to be and had just the thing for a trade in the van.
Just woke up finally. A beautiful sunny day in Oklahoma. Dickens and I are eating smoked English cheddar from Somerdale, England. White of course. Either he ate some last night or we have a large ten pounds rat.
Dog has refined tastes.
Despite dire warnings from NWS, weather activity in the Deep South was limited to thunder
bumpers last night, as far as I know. However, we are still a week away from the month which traditionally brings the the most tornadic weather.
Nice and a bit cooler here today, also.
Jimmy mentioned a bit ago that there are whole movies available to watch online. Those are great, and I reeeeeally love the history, science, and nature programs. Although I read about those topics, sometimes I want to see things, too. Like Arlo, I want to learn, not be teased.
We have a new half inch on the gr., it’s still snowing, and more is forecast: cool days and frost or nr frost nights. Likely 1-2″ before it’s done, but maybe all gone by next weekend. April in the North Country.
Annual free feed for members at Harmony Foods co-op at noon. Excellent rubbed chicken and mac & cheese that was definitely not by Kraft. Al dente green bean, dense chocolate cake. Life is good. Bought a unisex tee for $12. Have 4x more tees than undershirts.
Peace,
In the 17th c., 52 wasn’t an unusually early departure for men. Biblical old age was ‘Threescore and ten’, fourscore if you were lucky. Women averaged earlier / death in childbirth. Remember ‘Our Town’? I cried.
Peace,
Smigz: If the documentary is about science, it will likely mention questions we’ve not answered yet, or may never answer. It’s fun, though.
Peace,
Debbe, here is the scan she posted on FB of the new painting:

Jerry and Debbe, I can understand why they plan things out ahead of time. Nobody wants to spend an hour on an “Al Capone’s Vault” show. Remember that? I’m sure Geraldo still does!
To what I feel is a very large percentage of Villagers, and especially to Ruth Anne: Happy World Book Day.
Boxing up hundreds of books today to donate. That seems appropriate.
Hi Debbe, and thanks Mark! 🙂
There are a lot more blooms on it now. Was afraid yesterday that I had killed it & walked off in frustration. But today it isn’t bad. 🙂 Added more leaves, trying to figure out what comes next, where it needs a bit of tweaking. Thanks for asking.
You’re welcome Lora. Glad to help out.
Big sibling just flew 5′-6′, from limb at R edge of frame to L side of nest.

Evening Three:
Man: The Demon Divine.
“Sigmund Fraud” is more correct, I think.
And, now, one last tip of the porringer in the Bard’s direction:
T.V. or not T.V. – that is no longer the question.
Llee, the painting is BEAUTIFUL!
Rick:
Except that I believe he thought he was really being scientific, I expect ‘“Sigmund Fraud” is accurate. Interesting that many shrinks still call themselves Freudian. OTOH, analysis seems to work for some people. All things considered, that’s far enough.
Peace,
Debbe 😉 You never can tell… 😉

I agree, as long as the analyst can keep his/her own prejudices, predispositions, and emotions out of the entire process.
On the other hand, I once had a psych prof who said that Freudian doctors don’t accomplish anything more than could an intelligent and empathetic neighbor or bartender.
I’m not sure how I feel about that.
Morning:
Might does not make right, but it does decide who will win.
Believe at your own risk.
Given the eternal state of humankind, I have decided that the only rational response is to become illegally insane.
Good morning Villagers….
Llee, your painting is beautifully serene, I love flowers. Found the buds starting to open up along the fence here…they are Irises, a purplish. I also love black eyes Susans. You are a very gifted Lady….thanks for sharing with us.
…and Mark, thank you for posting that link.
Dad appears to be feeling better than yesterday. I feel the four days of ‘going’ (a friend took him cruising Saturday afternoon too) took its toll on him yesterday. Plus he started taking an OAB medication. Not enough fluid intake in those days. Fatigue, his walk was very unstable and a couple of other issues. I know what he was thinking in those days “if I drink then I’ll have to go home”….I increased his water intake and didn’t give him his OAB med last night. Yes, much better this morning….so far.
I’ve been knows to pull a few “Freudian slips” in my life 🙂
And Rick, my insanity gives my family something to question…”are you nuts”? they ask! I just grin back at them and say “yes, ad I’m happy too”!
later…..
on the subject of reading 🙂

Wait…Freud wore slips?!?
And of course I’m a bit crazy. All the best people are!
Just like mama used to make?

Hey Trapper Jean, you stole my joke! lol Of course EVERYTHING according to Freud was about sex, so I suppose he could have.
