BlueKota's JournalMy Dad was born on May 8, 1908.
He was 54 years old when I was born. He was a great Dad, he always made me feel safe and loved. He worked on his family farm, in a shoe factory, owned a water delivery service, volunteered with 3 local fire department's, and became chief mechanic for a local DPW when he was in his early 60's, and worked until he was 79.
So many people loved and respected him for his honesty, work ethic, and willingness to help others. I was always proud to be his daughter.
Sadly we lost him October 14, 1991. I still miss him every day, and wish he were still here to hug me, and say "it's all going to be okay dolly."
Question on Sinus Infection?
I thought I remembered my PCP saying they are not contagious. I asked Alexa and she confirmed that specific illness is not contagious, but the underlying condition i.e. a bad cold, could be contagious, depending on whatever viruses or bacteria caused it.
So basically isn't that just a long way of saying you could be contagious, and put others at risk of possibly getting something?
Got a really bad SI and called and canceled with my Psychiatrist, and called the companion service, and asked if they would call my aide, and give her the choice of whether she wants to come or reschedule. I don't want her to get it, but I also don't want her to lose pay because of me. Already had to cancel once this month.
I am kind of hoping she reschedule because I feel like 💩
Do coin dealers evaluate and buy bills to?
My Mom saved some old coins and a few bills. My sister has been checking value on a coin app and we plan on taking them into a coin dealer. Nothing worth a lot so far.
She also saved some bills and a few might be worth a little more than face value? My question do we have to find someone who specializes in paper currency or can the coin dealer do that too?
Also do bills and coins have to be non circulated to be worth anything?
Something Positive
The last two elections my cousin's daughter voted for Trump. He told me, however, that she's had a change of heart. They were watching the weekend Today show and started talking about Trump's trial. He said she yelled at the screen today, and said, "why don't they throw him in jail and just get it over with?" So apparently some do recover.

Sad task earlier today
Someone hit a wild turkey with their car in front of my house and killed it. Luckily my sister was here and she and I got it off the side of the road and threw the carcass in our field. We didn't see who hit it.
Hopefully the scavenger critters will at least get a few meals out of it.
Too many of the people who drive on this road think they can drive 75, when the speed limit is 45.
Monroe County, NY DA Story I Posted About Yesterday
has hit the national news. ABC had a piece about it tonight and so did People Magazine on-line. Link below.
As a reminder she was caught going 20 mph over the speed limit and failed to pull over when police signaled for her to do so. Then when they followed her to her house she got very belligerent to them, and even. swore at them. Luckily the police recorded her on body cam and it was released to the press. The Rochester City Council has asked the NY Attorney General to look into the D.A.s behavior.
Boy it's been a bad press week for Magat woman. They sure now how to keep it classy don't they?

Gregisims on Tik Tok
I don't post on it, but I do have an account to watch other people's videos.
Greg who has the account Gregisims on there makes me laugh so much and gives me a much needed respite from all the heavy stuff going on.
Does anyone else follow him? I am really going to miss his videos if they ban Tik Tok. I hope he has an account elsewhere.
In the one tonight he did a rant about cell phones, and how people expect you to get right back to them when they call or text. He said it wasn't going to happen most times. Then he said even if it's an emergency that he's a gay theater teacher in New Orleans so he's not sure why they would call him for help instead of 911. 🤣
Plus he also shares funny things his grade school students say. A lot of them are hysterical.
Too bad access to the hush money court room
is restricted. I would absolutely love it if someone could run into the courtroom before that day's official proceedings started, and ask very loudly, "ooh what stinks like poop in here?" Then leave.
These little fantasies will never happen, but they amuse me, and to quote the Stephanie Miller show, "you have to laugh or you'd just cry all day, wouldn't you?"
Sandra Doorly the Republican District Attorney
of Monroe County, NY refused to pull over when local police tried to stop her for going 55 mph on a 35mph hour road. She said she didn't want to pull over on the road and figured it would be "okay," to just drive home and handle things there. She called the police chief to tell his men she wasn't a danger to anyone's safety. 🙄
To the police chief's credit he did not tell his officers to let her off with just a warning. Also the officers said it wasn't her decision to make to not stop and that she just made a bad situation worse. That it was an arrestable offense, to refuse to pull over and that she of all people should know that.
She wasn't arrested (damn), but she was given a ticket and now she's acting like she thinks she should be commended for paying the ticket without protest, and saying even I am not above the law. Bullshit. Your average law abiding citizen does not go 20 miles over the speed limit and then call the police chief trying to claim they are not a danger. The only reason she paid the ticket and says she's not above the law is because the police have body camera footage of how dismissive and arrogant her attitude was toward the officers.
It's amazing how so many of the supposed, "law and order party" think they are so much more special than the rest of us, that we should be grateful that they even pay a fine they deserved, even it was only to further avoid embarrassing press. God they're hypocritical. Thank God she changed from being a Democrat to a Republican before her election. We don't need people like her in our ranks. She's a far better fit for them.
My Best Buddy Dakota
is five today. He is the sixth German Shepherd I have had over my life so far. He will also most likely be my last, as I am hoping he has several good years left to come. By then I will probably be to old to handle a large dog and it wouldn't be fair to them. Although a senior Shepherd is a possibility.
Dakota provides companionship, love, a sense of security, and most of all laughter. He can be the biggest goofball sometimes. He deserves all the happiness I can give him in return.
I am so lucky my late Dad gifted my sister and I our first Shepherd when I was 5, and shared his love and respect for the breed with me. They have most likely saved my life on more than one occasion.
So Happy Birthday baby boy! I love you! ❤️
