I think I need to rip out all the sunflowers along the curb soon. I hate it, but I trash them. They're too fibrous to compost, and if I do, my compost is full of seeds and useless. #gardening
When Babbel offers a lifetime membership, they lie. It's only 100 years.
Hopefully I will

Kindness is one of the greatest gifts you can bestow upon another. If someone is in need, lend them a helping hand. Do not wait for a thank-you. True kindness lies within the act of giving without the expectation of something in return."

“If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.” -Dwight Eisenhower, March 06, 1956
Ugh.
People sometimes.
So, late pasta lunch, now nap time.

DD often shares some wonderfully funny stuff. I almost spit out my adult beverage with this one.

😋🤤🤤🤤 Dark chocolate covered coffee beans.
A quick flight across the island to San Juan, then drinks dinner and barhopping until returning to the airport at maybe 2am for my 0330 flight. I love old San Juan's blue cobblebrick streets and architecture.
My belated #Caturday contribution. My friend says there are 16+/- that claim her house as residence. 4-5 are allowed in-house, and of course there are a couple of neighborhood guest cats usually.
Good Sunday morning 🌞 my 'nauties! Get a cuppa #coffee and start your day off right.
Saw the other day that FDA found decongestants, worth 1.8 billion in sales, don't work, and have a rebound effect - making your symptoms worse.
But there's a EU drug, Ambroxol, that works wonders. ROBERT KUTTNER suggests Biden could fast-track it and other EU drugs by ExecOrder, bringing better and cheaper drugs to the U.S.
Great idea to further his goal of reducing drug costs.

Good morning CoSo, just finishing #coffee and heading out to go boating along the coast with a friend this morning. Photos to phollow I'm sure. Be well, and do good things. 💙
Good day all.
I've done what I can for the day.
Door frame adjusted. Floors mopped. For a friend I installed a new shower assy and new blades on her yard tractor.
I got paid beer money, and I'm putting it to good use. Have a Gummy day you all!

Why would a person *not* engage in property crimes when trapped by poverty? They can't make a living wage, they can't afford the vehicle they need for a job, and the only lenders who will "help" charge usurious interest.
If you *do* manage to start to claw you way out, one unlucky moment will pull you back down. The government will claw back its aid, leaving you worse off than you were before.
When the system is entirely rigged against you, why would you bother attempting to work within it?
Morning update - life at Casa Amarilla Puerto Rico. Crazy neighbor Hector just knocked on my door and told me there were listening devices. He could sense them from his house.
Said they might be in my headphones - that I don't have.
Just listening to music on my laptop that isn't even hearable across the room, let alone thru a brick wall across the street.
He shouts at non-existent people in the middle of the night.
So a crazy person is worried about me and looking after me. 😵💫
Man Xitter sure is hard these days. I can't figure out which end is up - people are fucking weird. And usually they're wicked either way
Apparently I got a whole show and I only wanted to show a clip, so enjoy! It's all good.

Well I miss-quoted that first line but here's what I was thinking of. Guy Clark and Emmylou Harris: I don't love you much, do I?
This song is always brought tears to my eyes and should I ever get married it's the one I would play.
