don't waste your time on someone who only wants you when your hair looks perfect and your body just so and your clothes overpriced fashionable: they are so not worth it.

I removed old photos from my picture frames, making room for new memories! Pictured above, empty picture frames
The mistletoe is up!
mistletoe [noun] a leathery-leaved parasitic plant which grows on apple, oak, and other broadleaf trees and bears white glutinous berries in winter.
scent-sitive
I always appreciate when signs are posted -- encouraging people not to wear perfumes and other strong scented products like cologne in public spaces. Why? Because s ome people are highly sensitive to such smells. I know, because I am one of these 'sensitive' people. When out and about this holiday season, think about the fragrances you wear. While it may smell great to you, it may leave someone else with a terrible headache . So, please be kind. Everyone deserves a holly jolly, holiday season!
My Last Bike Ride of 2023

Remember, and never forget
Today is Remembrance Day . Please take a moment to remember the sacrifice of war. Please remember all those who died, the families destroyed, the mental health consequences , and the women who were raped (in the war). There are ongoing wars around the world today. Please support world peace. Photo credit: here
