Last Notes npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen Looks like mid morning. Great angle and subject. Thanks ✌️ npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen #SilentSunday npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen I’ve had this jade plant for at least ten years and this is the first time it has bloomed. #bloomscrolling #flowers #nature #florida npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen #SilentSunday npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen My story: A few years ago the phone company said they could not repair our copper wire land line. We moved our phone number over to a VOIP service for a one-time cost of $100 for equipment and then $17/month. Works great, you just plug your internet and your old phone into the box. You can also make and receive landline calls & voicemails from your cell phone using their app. It takes about a week to "port" your land line # over to the VOIP service, and costs about $50. npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen What a scenic way to get some exercise. npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen Wow! Don't let her swim in a "no wake" zone :) npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen #SilentSunday #mountains in #arizona npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen #SilentSunday in #florida npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen Thank you for sharing your thoughts, your experiences, and most of all your feelings.

Just something to keep your eye on before you go out on a photo shoot. npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen The Yellow Poinciana #trees are loaded with #flowers now in #florida npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen Isn't the dough in a muffin just something to hold the berries together ? npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen #SilentSunday in #florida npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen Thanks for sharing your loving thoughts, in your eloquent way.

Like you said, lucky in love! ❤️ npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen #SilentSunday in #florida #birds #woodstork npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen Love going through shoeboxes of old photos. npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen #silentsunday in #tuscany region of #italy npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen #SilentSunday npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen Congratulations on finishing a risky job. I avoid plumbing, If I look at a pipe the wrong way it starts to leak. npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen Many thanks to you and your friend for having the courage to stand up against cowardly fascists. Does the press know? Yep, good to always review consent agendas, that's where all commissions -city, county, whatever; hide the stink-bombs. npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen Glad to hear he's improving! Maybe some chicken soup will help. npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen #SilentSunday First light over the Atlantic ocean. npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen I wish I could talk to my grandma again too. She passed when I was in my early 20s and I missed out on a lot of her wisdom. npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen I hope there's another rental company in town. Before you rent anything I have heard it's a good idea to take pictures when you pick it up and also when you return it. Especially rental cars. Your daughter rocks ! npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen Pre-1945, my mom used to babysit Paul Tibbets' kids, they lived in a duplex across the street. She said he was just a regular guy. They moved and she never saw him again. Just a neighbor that did something that changed the world forever, and now some ex-TV personality gets to erase him from military history? This is not normal, it's irrational and worse than stupid. npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen Every kid should have a grandma like you. Keep on spreading the love and caring that will carry them through life passing it on to their kids. ❤️ ✌️ npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen #SilentSunday #florida npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen Ally Bank is online only. We have used them for years, they have good investment rates and customer support is great. And you can go to the bank in your birthday suit and sunglasses if you want. 😎 npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen Good morning. You've got some really great grandkids! Have a smooth day, no bumps :) npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen What a beautiful rose !

Curious to know the altitude of your antenna. Always wanted to get my license back in the '60s but the Morse code kept me away :( npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen #SilentSunday #florida #wildlife npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen A small eastern rat snake glides through a patch of Asiatic Jasmine. npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen Yay ! So glad to hear it's a simple problem and not a dry well. During hurricane season here in FL we keep drinking water in gallon jugs and fill up the bathtub for toilet flushing, etc. when storms get close. I hope these "bomb cyclones" are unusual in your area. npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen My how times change, now it's a private club: https://www.bibasocial.com/ npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen #SilentSunday #florida #firstlight 11/14/24 npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen Looks like the best place to get back to reality!

There are many retina-only specialists, I hope you can get a second opinion. My left one detached many years ago, I had an operation that required a six week recovery, but can now see with the help of glasses. Best wishes for you being able to recover your vision! npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen Every day in #Austin #texas people line up along the Congress Avenue bridge to wait for thousands of bats to emerge and feed on flying insects. npub1w9thmlaaepxpy40a9wedrtrnk8vqw5jxc42w82gluakfqpqqp6rsk6x5cc James A Nielsen Best wishes for a good day to you too, and hope your Meta problem is resolved.
