Paralegal, writer, jewelry maker. Fat and loud. Loves cats, hates hypocrisy and wants everybody to have enough food, education and medical care. Forced birthers will be blocked. People who quote forced birthers will also be blocked.

Willie Nelson did the original, which had a very different vibe. Still sad tho.

Awesome but too long. "Project 2025 is the Christian Right's recipe for eliminating everyone who is not them."

You gotta wonder why, since by and large nobody in the 4th Estate has breathed a word about Donald's dementia or Project w025.

We have a wagon that I use to take the trash out b/c we only have a ramp in the front, not the back, and no rail for the back stairs. I have to take the trash down the ramp and all the way around the house. So I'm taking the trash wagon to the wheelie cart?

Whenever I tell somebody I'm a paralegal, they ask me for legal advice. Which I can't legally give and wouldn't know the answer 9 times out of 10 anyway.

Does anybody disagree? What is wrong with them? If anything, physical abuse is better, because if you come to school with scars and bruises, teachers and school officials are required by law to investigate.

Interesting. No precedent whatsoever and Biden already said he won't drop out and if he does the Drms will lose and everybody knows that, but sure, let's do it and see what happens.

My guilty pleasure TV is Son of the Beach. Yes, it's really stupid and often gross. But still. A higher-brow favorite is a short lived comedy series called "The Good Guys," set very obviously in Dallas and starring Colin Hanks (Tom Hanks Jr) as a cop for whom small cases always lead to big trouble.

Nifty stories about departed loved ones: When my bro in law was dying, he said stuff like, "Oh, you just missed my dad. He says hi." Dad having died some years before. He also talked about how he'd just been in Saigon and it was Tet and raining, and when my sis checked it was Tet and it was raining.

Nifty stories about departed loved ones: My wife adopted a cat. The rescue lady asked her for a name. She was going to say Maribel but said Mariposa instead. My bro in law died some years ago. He and my sis had an inside joke about the word Mariposa. Did bro in law help name the cat?

Nifty stories about deceased loved ones: my wife had a cat, Uhura, that was totally Her Cat. She put up with me but I was not her person. We put her to sleep at 15 when she had cancer. For the next 2 weeks my wife felt a cat jump up on the bed. It went on til we got another cat. Then it stopped.

In short, asking them to act like the 3rd branch of government that they are. That's a pretty radical proposal. Incidentally which of the many decisions was she mad about?

So I didn't watch the debates and I don't really care what happened. I just wanna know if the country is doomed and if leaving for elsewhere is a viable strategy.

Hee! I think of it as, "The better to be bipolar, my dear." Have you tried Dyanavel? It's very new. It's got a time release thing so it works thruout the day. It's helped me a lot. Adderall did the job but it hit too hard and then I kind of crashed and burned as it wore off.

My uncle died in 2012. He was a tenor in a barbershop quartet and was always jealous of his older brother, who sang bass. The next day NASA announced that a black hole in the Andromeda Galaxy was playing a C 56 octaves down. My wife heard this and said, "That's your uncle fooling around."

Shit I just learned: Most people have 7 working memory slots. This is why we can remember, say, a phone number long enuf to put it in our phones. Most ppl with ADHD have 3-4 working memory slots. I have always, always divided phone numbers into area code/prefix/number. I bet I just have 3.

I totally freaked out on FedEx CS rep after she told me they'd lost track of my package not once, but 2x. But. She really wasn't terribly interested until I mentioned it was prescription meds. I feel bad I lost it but OTOH, her company was like endangering my life?
