QOTD – Do you get many Robocall/scam calls.The bane of my existence! I've been on the no call list for ages but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I've got a variety - the in language - because of my last name some think I speak certain Chinese dialects,... Then the solicitation ones, then the threatening ones - e.g.the fake CRA, RCMP or other scary government ones! Since I have a job I can now ignore #s I don't know but while I was hoping to hear from those I applied to, I picked up the calls then blocked them as soon as I knew they were robo/scam calls. What's worst that robo/scam calls? Robo/scam texts!

Checkin welcomes you to Sunday September 13!
Whether you are #newhere, a regular or a visitor, this is #checkin, which means you choose what you wish to do - wave, say hello, share your insights or continue a previous day’s topic, unrelated experiences, pics, poetry, music, memes, questions, or, just relax, sip on your pixel coffee/tea/drink and enjoy the company. There’ll be good folks dropping in from many time zones to join us. No need to worry about physical distancing here. 🤗
Sunday 13 September.
We have gone into the Fall weather pattern…60sF for days and 40sF for nights. About time I am not a lover of hot weather (over 78F is too hot). My cousin finally figured out her new “smart” phone and email so she wrote me a test one then I replied. Today I got a full one. She lives in California (Placerville) this is my cousin on my dad’s side. She is shut in her house because of all the smoke…as are many of you Bay Area folks and all points north and south and looks like east and west too OY. This year has been astounding to say the least. We have discussed cheese bread and humor as parody/satire etc… This week. I think it is time to take stock on how we are all coping and dealing with life.QOTD
How are you? Are you doing well for a change; something good? same old same old? wearing out with the stress? In the middle levels of developing PTSD? Is your corner of the world doing well for you ( I hope so really,) If you are doing OK or better do not feel like you can not share and gives us your lovely details we want to be happy for you! and If you are going down the crapper share with us we want to be there for you too, at least let you know we care. I do know many of us are in some state of dilapidation. I know I am….at times feeling old and worn out and sometimes great. The see saw of old age! Let us rejoice in our joy because it will multiply it. Let us share our sorrow for it will dived it.

What’s a dish, custom, or ritual that says home to you?For one dish, I'd have to say congee, as I make it. It is the first food that babies were given after weaning, the food we had whenever we were sick as children, a comfort food to have once in a while for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I learned to make it to suit my taste exactly, which takes a few hours of slow cooking, when I first lived on my own.
