Signs

Sponges hanging in Tarpon Springs FL

A little store in Weslaco,Texas. 1964  (that's the date given on Facebook, but I wonder if it shouldn't be much earlier!)





This sign was on FaceBook a couple of weeks ago, and I saw lots of posts of flight attendants with their stories. So a few days ago I decided to post a photo of myself (I'd "followed the group already.) They said I had to be approved, and when and what did I fly? I gladly told them, because that was what my photo showed. Did it get posted? Nope. And no more posts from anyone either. Good ole FaceBook/Meta took down the site. I'm not even sure of the name, so searches don't go anyway. Glad I didn't divulge anything more than the airline I worked for and when. Whew!

Health update: having very little sleep, thanks to the steroids with mind racing – but of course I’m solving philosophical problems, galore, and ignoring anything in the news because it would really be frustrating. Yesterday went pretty well with meetings of lots of doctors and finishing off with the CT scan of my lungs today started at 3 AM with a blood draw. Waiting on culture of my sputum sample to define which kind of antibiotic is best. Am I getting used to Hospital life? I hope not. The best news from yesterday was beginning to feel well enough to do a little self-care like a shampoo and body lotion. Again, thank you for all the good wishes. My blog world, friends, you do count as friends.

    1. Since I didn’t have a very good night, I refuse to comment on being in good hands and or recovering. However, my hope is still there

  5. Wait, you were a flight attendant? I think we need to know more, especially now that they've been apparently censored.

    1. Yes, I have talked about it before on my block so you can do a search in that little Square on the right hand column,

    1. Still waiting for one more test and consultation with an infectious specialist. So I’m just going to try to learn how to be more patient. At least the drugs (Steroids) Make me very inventive and creative

    1. Thanks, Robyn. It’s always good to hear from you. I’ve never never know when I will have an update, however so I’ll try to remember to do that at least before I go to bed tonight

  9. We are traveling 3 states away for wedding and the thing I am most excited about is a giant Coca Cola sign I want to photograph. Okay, a little weird I know. Glad they are keeping a good eye on you and hope you will be home soon.

    1. Oh, that’s a great idea. I know there used to be one downtown in Ashevill that I’ve seen in old photos, but it’s not there anymore. Coca-Cola signs, of course. I bet there’s a lot still in Atlanta. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with

  10. I think that could be a 1964 photo. That's 61 years ago. Some rural people still had outhouses. plowed with mules and lived in little old shaky houses even ten years later when I lived down south. Hope you can get what you need and vacate the hospital soon.

    1. Hi Kristin -It’s good to hear from you again. And you are so right about people that live without as much as our society would expect. Living in Appalachia now, I certainly have familiarity with that!

  11. We have a teapot sign in one of the towns near me but this is the first coffee pot I've seen. I like it. Keep getting better so you can leave the place and head home.
