It’s a crap day in Atlanta where the monsoons rage on. Literally up all night with Banjo. Today he is much better (relatively speaking). He has the prednisone pants sometimes on this med and last night it went on for hours on end and I really thought that could be it (for the millionth time.) Then he always seems to randomly rebound as if to say, “Ha ha! Just kidding! Let’s go for a walk!). So I finally got to sleep about 9 or 10 am, then the restoration team guy calls to see if he can come early to do another moisture test and possibly remove the fan that is been running to dry out my crawl space for two days. He agreed to just go into the yard and I told him how to lock the gate behind him. It appears that he never came as the fan is still running. I think we are day ten with that. This weather on top of it all just makes me want to cry and weep.
In other news I am following the story of Gabby Petito who went cross country camping with her boyfriend and documented their trip on Youtube or somewhere. Then, the boyfriend came home and she has not been seen since. This doesn’t seem like a hard case to me. Of course the boyfriend is now on the run. Check out this girl on TikTok, she has several posts about her and her boyfriend’s encounter with the boyfriend who was hitching hiking in I think Wyoming and they picked him up. They are quite interesting. Once you look at this one you can click on it and it will take you to the others. You do not need a TikTok account to view them.

On that note, I am going to go eat my two day old pizza from my favorite pizza place and watch the premiere of Floribama Shore. It’s not a show I recommend. It’s really stupid but it always makes me laugh. I hope you guys are hanging tough. I know all of us are living in trying times and I am so grateful we have each other to talk to. xo ~tt
Thank you tt for being there to listen and to talk to
Hey we are all in this together. The reason I over share with y’all so much is because I don’t have anyone real life people to share with. I’m grateful for all of you. Also sorry I am behind on emails and not answering my phone right now. 🙁
What you say is “over share”, I consider “letting us in” and allowing all of us to share our struggles and share our empathy, kindness and caring for one another. You’ve made me feel like I’m not alone with this group. At times, everyone has given me perspective so that I can recognize what I’m going through isn’t so bad and a space to share the really horrible times I go through … when I’m ready. I’ve commented more because I feel like a part of this. You all have made me laugh as well .. a lot and appreciate differing opinions even when delivered with a healthy dose of snark! Thank you for your openness and honesty and for the flair you deliver it with.
Tam! Everyone of us here regularly look forward to hearing from you. We are interested on your perspective, your brilliantly hilarious snark, and of course the updates on your sweet Banjo. You are a breath of fresh air and truth. I check this site everyday, and tho I don’t comment much, you are a part of my world, you are *LOVED*!!
Aw, thanks Frau! You should share with us more often!
So Gabby Petito’s boyfriend as they are saying “isn’t missing, he’s hiding” so true.
I can not believe how crazy her parents must be. This is beyond a nightmare.
My gosh, I am scared if he ends his life before saying where he left her. If he kills himself, pray that he leaves a note with what happened, so the family gets something.
Seeing a tweet this morning from her dad to “the world” broke my heart.
Well I have a funny story I planted the Dahlia seeds my son gave me for mother’s day! Anyways with the deer being munchers I told my husband to put up a little electric fence and I went to water them with metal watering can ZAPPED MY [email protected]@! FRIG N A! Won’t be stupid again 😜 I now know to pull the electric plug! I get sweats when I take cortisol for adrenals so I can relate to BANJO (doggy hugs) I d make insurance pay on electric bill too. Dang what a long haul for you Tamara HUG’S To you & everyone!
Bambi says “ouch” too.
In my experience, deer don’t eat dahlias. That’s why I grow them instead of roses. I’ve never grown them from seed. Good luck!
Brian, the guilty looking creep has run off. His parents claim he left their home Tuesday for the big, big woods, or some such place. So the cops can’t do anything if they find him, except bring the adult child home to mom and daddy. They can’t arrest him as they have no proof there even is a crime, so they say. In my opinion, he did something to her that made her run away, or harmed her physically. If he is innocent, the natural thing would be to willingly provide info and search. They can’t touch him, likely parents have just created a smoke screen for him and taxpayers will spend thousands looking for the dumb ass.
He is a suspect errrrr “person of interest” so they can indeed hunt him down and drag him in to the station for questioning at the very least.
Something bad happened. He’s freaking. Maybe an accident but still…he’s freaked out.
Things I found today that made me feel better. A full package of toilet paper, two chapsticks and my Chanel perfume. I really need to start unpacking things I bring into the house rather than just dropping the bags here and there. lol.
Totally off subject but…..Last week I was paying for my crap at Walgreens. The clerk asked if i wanted to use the Senior discount. It was my first time being asked so I was pissed and thrilled (20% off) at the same time. I was wearing glasses, baseball cap and a mask. How bad must I have looked when 90% of my face was covered? Before that I thought I looked hip and cute but guess not. Not a big deal. I just had to tell someone.
Since when does Wegmans have a senior discount? The ones by me don’t.
I made the mistake of going to Kroger on Senior Day (it’s always a madhouse of old fucks) and I am pretty sure she gave me the senior discount. I don’t think I am old enough for the senior discount. But I had the same mixed reaction. lol.
Don’t feel too bad. The Senior Discount at Walgreens is 55, at least in CA, and is the first Tuesday of every month. I make sure to hit them up that day and I demand my discount if they don’t give it to me!
i live for the senior coffee at mcdonalds.
About FloraBama Shore, that scene where Aimee got Codi’s vehicle stuck in the mud in the front yard seemed so fake to me. Even I know to stop pressing down on the accelerator when your car is stuck in mud. And they totally smeared mud all over their faces. And I can’t with the pig. Pigs belong outside, not inside. I always liked this show, but it seemed too scripted, but it is like the 5th season so that usually happens about that time.
I agree with everything you wrote. I do hope Tamara recaps it, though. 🙂
It’s really too stupid to recap and also one of the shows I like to just watch and laugh and not have to type and pause through the whole thing. 🙂 I need to have a few of those.
We just left Yellowstone and the Tetons yesterday. Had been there for nine days. One day, it was like all these officials descended on the town. All the locals are talking about it. Her step dad came in a few days ago to help with search. They have some roads closed as well as the area where they supposedly camped. There also have been helicopters and low flying planes. I hope they find her alive. It is such a bizarre story. The connection with the two women is too coincidental
Wow! When I read your first sentence I’m thinking “oh it must be she was at ……” that must have been something.
I have not heard what you mentioned two women?
And bizzare story is so accurate.I am a true crime buff and this is one of those that is fascinating in a sad sad way.
Two women were murdered a few weeks back and some are reporting that they encountered Gabby and her boyfriend at one point. There were some major rumors going around about them meeting that we heard when we were in town at one of the local hangouts.
They just announced they found a body and the coroner has been brought in. Heartbreaking
Watching the news release now. So sad.
So heartbreaking! They called off the k9’s not a good sign it’s not her. I never understood why the bf wasn’t made a person of interest sooner or at least watched.
