Totally. All the social media is owned by a very small group...probably funded by George Soros!

[radu]

Social media is owned by punk libs who are drunk on money and power. Tied to Soros? Who knows?

[luvie]

Yep.....follow the money. Always!

[radu]

That’s it! LOL

[luvie]

Did you post tunes tonight? I did one.

[radu]

No, I didn’t. I’m trying to think of what to do tomorrow night.

[luvie]

I guess I’m doing random stuff again. I had a theme last week. LOL! Don’t want to tax my brain too much, ya know. :)

[radu]

I was about to start lining up some random stuff but thought of a theme I haven’t done. Very up-tempo. Having fun lining songs up now. :-)

[luvie]

Oh, cool! I’ll have to check ‘em out tomorrow night. Does it seem that Friday rolled around awfully quick this week? Or maybe I should stop taking naps. They make the time pass quicker I’m thinking! LOL!

[radu]

Man, Friday rolled around REAL quick this week! It didn’t hit me until a little over an hour ago that it was almost here and I hadn’t eeeeeeeven thought about what to play.

I’m surprised how fast this week went by considering I’ve been cooped up in the house most of the time. It felt so good to get out and about for a while today and the temps almost felt civil. LOL

[luvie]

They were better here today, too. It’s 32 right now. Not awful and the kitties insisted on going out. They have been cooped up too long to suit themselves! There’s no wind to make it feel miserable, so I think I’ll just let them stay out.

I didn’t see Ghost today, though he seems to have eaten his food. Unless the fat doves did. He was waiting for me last night. Funny thing. I noticed a circle of pine needles that almost looked like an eagle nest on the ground near our back patio with 4” rails. Turns out, it’s HIS nest! I guess it’s a warm spot without being inside. Clever kitty!

[radu]

Our high was 33 and we’re at 16 right now. Heck THAT was our HIGH yesterday so 33 felt pretty good. LOL! Sunshine and no wind helped a lot today too.
Mid 40s tomorrow, upper 50s Sat., and 60 Sunday. Break out the shorts and flip flops!

I hope Ghost got to his food before the doves did. Blue jays like to eat our cats’ food when they’re out and we put food in the dish for them. Dratted jays.

Clever kitty and it sounds like he wants to be close to you. That’s a good sign. Keep spending some time out there with him, talking to him, when he’s around.

[luvie]

Well, it’s almost been to cold to spend very much time out there, but I always talk to him as I pour his food and tell him what a handsome fellow he is. He just wants his food. LOL! I do worry a bit when I don’t see him, and I didn’t see him all day today.

All I can do is wait till he shows up.

it’s supposed to be warmer here, too. Supposed to be 71 on Saturday before dropping back to the 50s on Sunday. Roller coaster!

Guess I’d better head out. Gotta be ready for tuneage tomorrow night. See ya then! :)

[radu]

Yeah, cold weather does put a damper on being outside, doesn’t it?

WOOOOOO! 71? Man, that sounds SO nice! Enjoy it!
We’re going to be happy enough with our 60 degrees Sunday, then we’ll cool off into the 40 next week. That’s about normal for here this time of year so no complaints. Especially after the past couple of weeks!

I hope Ghost is ok. I know how worrisome it is when they don’t show up.

Good night and sleep well. See ya tomorrow evening. Have yer dancin’ shoes on. LOL
