The Mayflower and the Speedwell left for America, but the Speedwell has problems,(leaking and illnesses on both boats, pneumonia and tb) and the passengers joined the Mayflower. The ship was overcrowded and people got tired and sick quickly. A man kept urging the other passengers to throw the sick people overboard but they wouldn’t, as their colony was already going to be very small. One passenger that died was the man who urged others to throw the sick overboard. A baby was born aboard the journey,so it is believed the same number boarded the ship as disembarked.

home a gift for our family - it was a paper cup of chex cereal with a bow on it. Also got a similar paper cup with bow from my (former) sister in law, with four small cookies in the paper cup and covered with aluminum foil and again a stick on bow. I really don't miss those holidays at all.

Keep seeing ads on tv for chex cereal. Years ago when I was first quitting holiday observations, my (now late) husband brought

Roger strapped on his tool belt b/c he was going to help on a municipal building project, then check for info on a mountain or trail to hike later.

I am trying to liquify some debt owed to me and have settled from 6 figures to 4 figures so I can open up a new bank account, b/c mine is frozen due to theft, etc, and I cannot pay bills without a bank card or active checks. I have enough dog food to last another day (maybe two) and have to go to the bank tomorrow. I have been waiting for a health care aide, which was approved one and a half years ago. The agency was here last Thursday and said the aide would start last Friday, this Monday, Tues and Weds would be her first 4 days. Friday she came, but did not show up MOnday and Wednesday. I asked her to call if she is not coming, she never called me. Finally spoke to her today (I don't have a number or last name for her, or for the agency) and she said she has been calling the agency when she is not showing up and they should have notified me, NOT. Once again, I asked if she will PLease call me when she is going to skip it all together. I know she means well, but this is annoying and my ulcers and hernias act up more due to stress. I will attend the meeting on zoom tonight. Yikes, she just blew a circuit breaker. I told her the probs with my electric circuits, but it seems when she does bother to show up, she has her own mind of how to fill up her paid time here. Hope every one is having a decent day. YS

In any math formula that concludes 2 equals 1, there is generally a hidden division by zero, which is undefined in our number system. In calculus, we are using formulae; in which the denominator is approaching zero. Haven't done calculus probs in a long time, but my overloaded brain will not stop over analyzing, sorry.
