Riddle Sideways: more dential stuff?
Adams Rubble: yes, always more dental stuff. hehe
Adams Rubble: our 19c ancestors would not understand

Riddle Sideways: and nasty morning NJ drive, traffic, weather
Adams Rubble: weather was pretty good today--was dark on way up and sun in eyes on return
Riddle Sideways: our 19c ancestors would understand, think travel was always bad
Riddle Sideways: "Sorry dear that I am late, was stuck behind a slow ox"
Adams Rubble: little visitor was just here doing a dance
Riddle Sideways: awwww
Adams Rubble: stuck in the mud
Riddle Sideways: yes

Riddle Sideways: strange night here, dead asleep until 3 and unknown reason to wake
Adams Rubble is still going through the Brontes
               --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: no dreams, no cats
Adams Rubble knows middle of the night wake ups
Riddle Sideways: seemed awake for hours, saw 5:43. Then huge long reunion dream that went on and on through parts of older dreamscapes. Like re-mix pieces of films

Riddle Sideways: fitbit was in charger so was not recording
Adams Rubble: fitbit records dreams?
Riddle Sideways: records guesses at levels of sleep
Riddle Sideways: REM times and lengths
Adams Rubble: oh my
Riddle Sideways: mostly why it is worn
Riddle Sideways: the nag over not getting 10K steps is anoying
Adams Rubble: :(
Riddle Sideways: nice soft vibrate alarm during dark of the year if it is getting late for PaB
Riddle Sideways: alarm that does not wake others

Riddle Sideways: any hoo, Your giving session last week stuck
Riddle Sideways: most of the week was thinking to give back to those that give
Riddle Sideways: and care for those that care
Riddle Sideways: kept coming up
Riddle Sideways: it was a good week
Adams Rubble: :))))

Adams Rubble: just one more--are the $100 plus models much better than the $36 models
Riddle Sideways: ?
Adams Rubble: fitbits
Riddle Sideways: oooo
Riddle Sideways: yes,
Riddle Sideways: think the cheap ones don't have sleep stuff
Riddle Sideways: yet,. the most expensive ones are for runners, and professional exercisers
Adams Rubble was thinking of gifts
Adams Rubble: sorry to interrupt your thread
Riddle Sideways: and many get exchangable bands
Riddle Sideways: for fashion
Adams Rubble: fashion not a consideration
Riddle Sideways: right, still using the original black plastic band
Riddle Sideways: have a friend that has a dozen and changes with outfits
Adams Rubble: :)

Adams Rubble: I don't know if I talked about it but I have been thinking of the new year as a gift
Riddle Sideways: not heard that, but great idea
Adams Rubble: thinking that all the different seasons are part of the gift to explore and appreciate
Adams Rubble: the coldest, freezing day
               --BELL--
Adams Rubble: the biggest, nastiest snowstorm
Adams Rubble: the hottest summer day
Adams Rubble: all part of the gift
Adams Rubble: shhh
Riddle Sideways: putting that positive spin on everything
Riddle Sideways: tis a gift to be simple
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: watching something with a minister saying Grace before meal
Riddle Sideways: going on about how today is a gift ...
Riddle Sideways: everybody else looking at the food getting cold
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: one woman in the back smiling and nodding
Riddle Sideways: knowing

Riddle Sideways: getting to the point we need 2 remote controls here while watching
Riddle Sideways: every few moments one of us wants to Pause
Riddle Sideways: and one here knits. has to pause to count stitchs or backup when not seeing the dark stranger introduced
Riddle Sideways: the gift of rewind to view again

Riddle Sideways: our 19c ancestors could not rewind
Riddle Sideways: had to be in first life in real time
Adams Rubble: they could go out at night and wonder at the stars and the milky way
Riddle Sideways: can now also. just hit Pause
Riddle Sideways: of course that involves the gift of finding that darn remove

Riddle Sideways: our 19c ancestors had 90-sec pauses for adverts
Riddle Sideways: go meditate on the last segment
Riddle Sideways: or get up, walk, stretch, shake the Fitbit
Riddle Sideways: and get more chocolate
Riddle Sideways: Live Ed Sullivan did not give time to go outside and look at the milky way

Riddle Sideways: Always thought father was magical
Riddle Sideways: every time he would stand and say "Let's all go outside for a bit" at night
Riddle Sideways: there would suddenly be a lunar eclipse
Riddle Sideways: or a shoshting stars event
Adams Rubble: :)
               --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: he had the gift of knowing when those things were happening
Riddle Sideways: and alerting us
Adams Rubble: that was a nice picture

Riddle Sideways: the other day, saw that friend that always says "have your best day"
Adams Rubble: little moments of thoughtfulness rememembered
Riddle Sideways: and she does live that way
Riddle Sideways: think that for years she has seen each day as the gift
Riddle Sideways: that it is
Adams Rubble: :)
