There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Okay dear, you normally beat me to the creation of the Back Fence thread. Are you feeling okay today? I'm concerned aboutcha since your last comments about your BP.

Hi girlfriends! I brought an extra batch of apple muffins to share! Careful, they're still hot! Maybe one of you can help me out!🤔 I'm feeling a little stumped. I just noticed there are "levels" under our names. Like valued contributor, honored, etc. does anyone know the hierarchy, and how one reaches each level?🙄 Please, enjoy another muffin...I'm on a diet and shouldn't take any home!

jewel, when folks heart your posts it elevates you through the levels. I think Honored is as far as it goes. I have no idea the count for each level.

Happy Friday all - it's been a busy and somewhat rewarding week at work and I am looking forward to a long weekend. Still shaking my head that Labor Day is upon me. I have the Tuesday and Wednesday following Labor Day off of work.

I'll be prepping for a colonoscopy on Labor Day and having it done the day after. Knowing that I can't have any kind of red sauce 3 days prior prompted me to get a pizza last night so I could have some last night and some tonight. I'm a creature of habit and tend to treat myself to a pizza on Saturday. No red sauce starting on Saturday.

I got a call from a pre-surgical nurse (?) to go over the health history. She was a nice lady. When I asked her if I was still going to have to repeat all of this on Tuesday, she said, yea, probably.

I think someone is calling my home and leaving a message with the expected arrival time some time today. Cross your fingers for me that it's at the crack of dawn so I won't be jonesing for a cup of coffee, lol.

@Bird mama DH had his second yesterday. He was going to wait a few more years, so I kept nagging him and within a week, he had this scheduled, I am good at nailing the points of why something should or should not be done.

He was so starving yesterday that he ate a huge breakfast at 2:00, and then a huge dinner at 7:00, lol. He actually went to the gym on Wednesday with only chicken broth and jello in him, what a dummy!

It's cool here this morning. Looks like a beautiful day.

Guess I missed some excitement yesterday. Seems like a young man thought it would be a good thing to go through my neighbors car. The neighbor is a police officer at a veterans hospital. He saw the guy and came out, drawing his weapon and ordered him out of the car. He refused. About that time the neighbor in the other side of him came out with weapon drAwn. First neighbor said he didn't know which one was the scariest cause he didnut know if neighbor knew how to handle a gun. The guy finally got out and on the ground. He had taken the daughters bike out of the shed which I guess he was going to escape with. The police were called and took him away. He told the neighbor that he was going to kill him. Neighbor said you just threatened a polices officer This all happened at 10 am. At 11, I left to go to Costco. Didn't hear about any of this til Merle came home at 5. I can't believe I didn't see anything. The neighbor said the guy probably posted bond and was out. He didn't go into work last night.

Hope everyone is staying safe weather wise.
