Nice bike ride this morning. Maybe 15km. Could have gone further but there is construction on the Thames Valley Parkway and we didn't feel like wrestling with road detours. Now boiling corn on the cob for lunch.
 
About to head outside for a bit before it gets too hot.

Ours is a toaster oven/airfryer. Chemguy baked cookies in it last night. We get the frozen cookie dough mainly to eat as dough (safe to eat raw). He gobbled them up while I was in the shower trying to hide all evidence but the smell gave him away.
 
Oh, Junior bought 30 lbs of zucchini this week and now is on vacation away this weekend. He froze a bunch but still had lots. ( he didn’t know he would just have to leave his car door open to get them for free). I offered to make some zucchini loaf - but two loaves took only one and a half medium size zucchini. Its delicious, though. I have to get more sugar so I can make more.
 
Mrrs Anteater, Phone calls like that are mixed surprises. I wish you well in exploring the validity and potential new stories to come out of that call.
 
Good morning! The new week begins, the new day is dawning, or will, after the sun has had its coffee... Anyway, for bike rides and the lifting of heat warnings, for zucchini bread and other late summer/ early fall delights, we're here. All is ready, join the conversation.

Thus we contract and pull ourselves together after relaxation periods ... regardless of what your dreams may tell you of contrary states ... because of interference with other's dreams as they scatter ... becoming fringe thoughts at the edge of reality and the absolute secure that today will remain as yesterday ... turning ... thus we go round again for those that didn't know if your mean ... the entire whorled thing win spin something for you as all get knocked out of place ... nothing left but the story, myth, ballad that marks you platform as psyche Plank 'd ... in human tradition if you are on a lower deck ... everything falls there ... thus the fallacy that we know better and the evidence is growing towards societal collapse but to expanding antisocialism that destroys the foundational gathering of information ... that innate, or within! At that time you may be bussed or busted out ... that's the buzz (that you won't be here anymore but out there ... it si the exception-ism regarding rules made for us and not the powerful in Action's myth ... some people strongly believe they are separate and have no relations regardless of who they've screwed up ... at at that those ole tho't come up again from down where they were not in sight for relief to those blinded ... could spook the horse ...equine horrors ... the bloody state causing her to blanch ...

I checked in with another friend of my late friend- and she knew that there was a daughter that was adopted, but my late friend did not want to talk about it.
 
Imagine such spoor being bought into the world to learn that they were unwanted and emotional Eire as splatter!

Do you know what this does to a disposed mind about parental influence ...

May lead to later abortions called martyrdom to avoid the word suicidal nature within humanity because of how we are connected or not ... some powers would excise after the birth ... just to support the unseen mean ...

Really I can relate to parental barriers like that ... performing only for duty ... lacking aphelia ... apt?

It is all words ... much expressed without feeling and touché of those golden bits ... protons? Heavy to the core ...

There may be something to it even if it appears as no thing ... if the evidence adds up without contracture and some relaxation that you've produced ... a tense situation it appears as the clock demands ... a time to beat?

We don't understand because we don't like to see others getting it ... to emotionally disturbing ... upsets the codgers and coyotes as they run about directing ... what's natural? The attraction ... we love to see a screw up ... thus we set the stage ... but negativity and telling them what's naught-eh!

Auger with care ... spatial information on what might erupt! Seminal data ... a fine code ... requiring a place ...

Thus expletives ... of exemplary nature personality ... if they are kind of nice ... and not too far gone off the mean ...

Some folk are plain mead having no trend to right or left ... thus sub conscience ... more folk US on less production ...

Many interesting stories coming from the whole adoption scene. Finding a friend of your bio mum is a new one to me though.

I know someone who was found by her birth siblings while having a cool one at a pub. They saw the family likeness and approached her. She was the last one of many scattered kids to get found.

I know someone who found her bio mum and went to visit her. While there she mentioned that her next task would be finding her bio dad. The bio mum checked to make sure whe really wanted to find him and then picked up the phone. "Hey Brian - get your a** over here. There's someone who wants to meet you". They still lived on farms near their childhood homes.
 
Heard several Emergency Alerts today following the stabbings nearby. Seems the two youngish men are still roaming around after stabbing several people in at least two different locations. At least one of the injured was transported to our local hospital. No doubt some of the staff got a bit triggered as they remembered the Bronco crash with nasty injuries.

Online gossip said that the perps were known to abuse drugs.
 
My brother in law didnt find out his mother was actually his grandmother and his sister was his biological mother, until he was in his mid 50s. Apparently everyone in the family including aunts and uncles knew and were sworn to secrecy. Needless to say he went through a very emotional roller coaster when he found out.

I'm so glad that over the years we're not shaming those who had children out of wedlock. Still happens, I know, but not as much.
 
My grandmother's brother (great uncle) went off to war in the 40s. He was a cook in the army. Which is odd, because he was always a terrible cook. He left a wife and 2 girls behind. One girl was intellectually disabled.

He had a girlfriend in England, like many Canadians boys did.

When he came home, years later, his wife had a newborn. He threw her out. The hypocrisy came to light when we cleared out some things he stored at my grandmother's house, and we came across the love letters he got from his mistress.

As an aside, my grandmother took in the disabled girl and raised her for a while alongside her own two kids, until she could not do it any more. The disabled girl was institutionalized. My great uncle got remarried, but the new wife wanted nothing to do with the disabled girl. My grandparents brought her home from the group home for 2 weeks every year until they were unable. I spent a lot of time with her during those stays, and it's why I got in fights with kids at school when they would call someone "retarded" (and of course, I would get in trouble for those fights - story of my life). My mom was her advocate for years. Then my parents took over completely and my wife and I did the driving as my parents got older. That was until Covid 19 hit. She died last year. We assume of a broken heart because no one was visiting her.

There was no "lost" sibling put up for adoption here. I just thought it was a good story, and I don't recall telling it here.
 
Fersure that sort of thing happened. One 'pillar of the church' answered a knock on the door and was greeted by her husband's, now adult, 'war baby' who had decided to visit him in Canada. The wife knew nothing about the situation, despite the fact that he had sent money for child support until she was grown up. The wife was quite understanding and welcomed the young woman in.

There are a lot of stories like that out there because people are a shame and yet denying anything they did is wrong ... an unbelievable thing coming from Christians that believe they are forgiven and forgotten for anything they can do wrong ... and thus emboldened towards corruption ... thus Shaman (folk investigating why folk put these in the dark and claim they are in the light! Jesus is duh Light ... in Greece that's lambda, λ, wyes reciprocated! Sort of naivete, no? In other places Lambeth ... eth being an ethereal wisp ... and light can be attracted there ... as in hard places it goes dark! David found that when Saul dumped in a cave ... complex crappy code? Yet today the story is a mystery because people believe knowledge is Cin amon ... spicey? In ancient myth Ammon was a healer (claimed all man's illness initiated in the head ... like chronic stress sinned Rome). Frustrated God and the gift of word too ... all collapsed into chaos ... all around us! Primarily because ... they didn't know ... and yet proud as hoo bris!

I only got 1 but my phone alerted me twice. I had no idea if you didn't press ok or something to close it the phone would send a 2nd notification alarm.
I was in the middle of something so took a quick look at what it was abd put my phone down right away the 1st time.

Have they been caught yet?

Not as big of a secret but my cousin only recently 'did the math' between parents' wedding and his birthday. I was well aware as a teen - actually the case both sides of the family, both where 1 parent was in some type of ministry education. Not sure if/when the other cousin knew, but considering that family I would guess he knew by the time he was 18.
 
Scary situation, for sure, and proof that violence doesn't require guns.

I think everyone on here knows that I met my child who I gave up for adoption when I was a child, who now lives in Australia. That's been a cool relationship. But when it comes to subterfuge, my late ex's Grandma took the cake. Legally married to two men, had two children, neither child was bio child of the respective father and it wasn't the same man. Complicated love life, that lady. Much beloved matriarch of the family, long gone, and if anything, laughed merrily over, as she would have.

Prayers for a lot of mourners in my little City this week. Last Saturday night/Sunday morning, 6 kids, 21-23, bright, pleasant, much-beloved, tried to manoeuver a "local traffic only" construction site, only to plunge into a deep access tunnel, igniting the car.
