Freezing cold on June 1st! Ugh!

The employee showed up....We'll see how long it lasts.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

Slow day here. I'll take it.

It is cool but a nice day. Temps going into 40's overnight. Bit concerned about the veggie plants.

That's about it.

Have a great day!

I so want to.

Hey all. We had dinner out last night. It was cool out but comfortable. More of the same today, but I understand it's supposed to get into the 90's later this week.

Anyone have any problems with looters last night? I understand they burned an historic church across the street from the White House as well as a neighborhood in MD where I used to have lunch.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Sitting in the lounge eating lunch. About 9 people in here but two are talking so loudly no one else can have conversations.

Morning.

Doing laundry. I put it off until I just had to do it.

Happy Monday.

Not that I know of.

The extent of protesting here, so far, has been a sign leaned against a power pole with "justice for all" on it.

I hate that. Selfish people.

You should start commenting on the things they say.

Go over and just sit with them and get all in their business.

They should be fine, you can put a tarp over them if you want, but take it off before the sun comes out, fully.

Go take her temperature. Tell her it's over 100 and she can't come back for 14 days.

I thought other offices were wanting to get rid of her too, and were going to do the dirty work.

Had the hardest time getting up this morning. I was so comfortable and warm I didn't want to leave my cocoon. We're going out to eat tonight! First time since the Ro Ro!

"ro ro"?

Just spork her already. We'll help you get rid of the body!

Apparently there are busses of protesters heading to my city.

There is already a heightened police presence forming.

They may not be allowed to get off the bus.

FNW · Guru

Stay inside, lily. Update us when you can.

Yes! Stay home! Stay safe!

Let us know what happens.

Praying, all is well.

I was watching it live on Facebook, while I don't agree with everything that was said, it was a good protest.

The organizers kept it on subject. The one time it was about to turn bad, they stepped up and squashed it. It was a peaceful protest.

If I remember, once the video becomes available to share, I'll post a link.

Most of them start off civil but escalate, into the late hoursThe legit ones start, then the hired thugs show up.

That is one thing protesting in your own city, but why bus into another town to protest? People are already in agreement that the officer needed to be arrested and appalled.

stay safe lily

The things I didn't agree with was when they began lumping in things like ICE, immigration, making marijuana legal, and things like that.

I did agree when the main speaker was talking about the police doing their jobs, not picking and choosing certain cases. He used the missing daughter of a friend of mine as an example of the police not doing their job.

Here is a small snippet of today's event. When I can find the whole thing, I'll share it.

This one isn't the best quality, but you can hear it.

So... DD went outside to do something and came back in saying the cops were outside at the neighbors. I went out front to see what was up. There were 4 sheriff vehicles and a bunch of people walking around. I figured someone saw damage on the house two doors down because the owner lives elsewhere. Then sheriff comes out of next door with new neighbor. No biggie, just getting a statement, right? Noooo! Then neighbor gets placed in cuffs. Oh my. So DD and I decide to go sit on back deck so we aren’t being nosy. Well, still two cops in the back yard. We figured they were just securing the scene while they put him in car, right? Nooooo! Then one cop walks towards the front and returns with a rifle. Then a voice comes over a megaphone telling someone to come out with their hands up. DD and I jump up and run in the house and spend the next hour sitting on my bedroom floor because the house next door is surrounded by armed men. They kept calling over the megaphone for person to come out with hands up. The wife finally came outside. Holy crap!!

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

These people have been next door less than two weeks.

FNW · Guru

Scary! I wonder what they did?

It will be on the blotter in the morning. I’ll let you guys know.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

That's scary!

When I was little, 4, I remember waking up with my little brother and my mom in my parents closet.

My dad was telling us to stay put, and I saw the outline of him with his shotgun.

The police had been chasing a guy, and he pulled into our yard.

Back then, 1974, the sheriff would let the homeowner help.

Tignanello · My dog name is, Sasha!

The last I saw that, Lindley, it was an armed hostage situation in the house. They evacuated the block though!

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

Wow SB, is the same house that you frequently see issues at?

FNW · Guru

How did it end, SB?

Yep. That house is cursed.

The couple was taken away. Not sure of any details yet. The cops didn’t finish up till 10 pm. I haven’t seen anything in the arrest reports.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Domestic violence. The freaking swat team for domestic violence. Oh, and one of them claimed to overdose on something. Haven’t had dramatic neighbors since I lived in military base housing.

FNW · Guru

Military base families are filled with drama?

Yeah...there's lots of domestic violence there.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Oh yes!! Especially in lower rank enlisted housing. Young couples very emotionally immature.

And affairs. Mostly with the younger ones. But it seems to more so than a non military neighborhood.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Yep, I could write a book with my base housing stories.

Well, that's true.
