Ideas on a good coffee machine for ground coffee/beans?  Thinking about making such an investment.  

I'm sorry for your loss.  I'm glad that you could be there for his husband.  Take care.

I’m about to board my return flight from Denver to Reykjavik and onto Zürich.  I spent 4 weeks caring for my mother and helping her move to a better senior living situation.  Was my first trip back since February 2020 and I spent Thanksgiving with family and stayed several weeks with my very best friend from teenage years.  I love living in Konstanz, but I had a wonderful time with my people.  😊 

States have laws about vote recounts when election results are within a close margin, as many of these races were.  And some places allow a week for mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to arrive, which I don’t find unreasonable.  Democracy is working when every vote is properly counted.  If it takes time, but is more accurate, then so be it.

Very beautiful.  Your voice is lovely.  Thanks for sharing.  We saw James Taylor in concert in Sacramento close to 30 years ago and it was awesome.

I‘m In Colorado spending a month with my 85 yo mom.  She’s got lots of wonderful stories, memories, and family genealogy to share.  I bought her a new iPad and she’s watching her favorite movies galore.  Seeing this famous routine again, one mom’s favorites, always guarantees a very long smile.  😃😃😃  

Well, this is something.  According to Littlefeather’s sisters her Native American identity was a complete fabrication.  Just wild. 🤦‍♀️ https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/oct/24/sacheen-littlefeather-faked-native-american-ancestry-say-family    

Apparently there were protests yesterday calling for the UK to rejoin the EU, and not just among the folks here on TT! https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/oct/22/thousands-of-london-protesters-call-for-uk-to-rejoin-eu

I am not really understanding what he said that’s got everyone convinced he’s a Trump supporter, but I’ll freely admit that I’m very naive about some things.  🤦‍♀️  Don’t lots of ordinary people just use Tor for privacy rather than illegal Dark Web stuff? https://www.expressvpn.com/go/vpn-service/tor-vpn?category=VPN&subcategory=privacy&lang=en&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqc6aBhC4ARIsAN06NmOA5B1E5jFq0FZwEr68ZYgFia5Y7vH-VdwWV3stkDGMMFrQMX8iBNgaAiAUEALw_wcB

They’ld forgive you, as long as it was clear that you weren’t up to no good.  😂  We locals, however, aren’t obliged to carry our passport with us within a wide radius of the border area.  🙏  I certainly hope you enjoyed your brief foray into criminal life.  

Exactly.  Never been checked, in 3+ years, on this border or the one nearby to Austria.  But, gotta be aware of what you might need.

Yes, the requirements are different for us and them.  😂

Cuz it’s the first day since getting Covid symptoms almost 5 days ago that I’m starting to feel like a functioning human being again. Day 3 with a positive test. Finally slept last night.  🙏  No fever today, and a lot less coughing and sneezing. Gorgeous weather, 65 (18) and ☀️, and the beast and I are hanging out on our 3rd floor balcony watching the peeps go by.  Got hybrid immunity now for my upcoming trip to the US. 😅 Stay healthy folks! I clearly had a moderate case, and it wasn’t a picnic.

  I recently started a little job working 3 days a week at a primary school.  I suspect that was my exposure point.

Yeah, the logic is insane.  BTW, I've been in bed since late Friday evening with normal flu symptoms, albeit with splitting headaches (but no breathing problems thankfully), and tested positive this morning, as did my neighbor on the floor below me.  It's spreading, but I'm grateful that I'm not sicker.
