Niiice!
For years my family thought I had dual citizenship since I was born in Italy but thanks 😠 to being born on the base, I’m 100% American citizen. Bah humbug!
But my mom is American-Spanish, dad is American-German, and my last name is Danish thanks to a step-grandad. 😆
@Florence Well done, Flossie. You have clearly trained her very well!!! You should teach a master class in training hooman staff.
@Florence Flossie, did Mama refuse to feed you again? Did she say it wasn't yet time for second breakfast?
@Florence I understand, sweet Princess. Look on the bright side--you are smarter and more regal, and she exists to serve you. But good staff is very hard to find.
@Florence @see_the_sus Ha. I went to HS in Minneapolis before climate change. Snow would forgo MN and drop in IL where it was warmer. Every year Chicago had to borrow snow removal equipment from Mpls, like it was some big surprise. (But I admit that UK cold is very damp, so it has a different feel.)
There's never a lack of examples for how deranged the right has become. Yet another: Trumpanzee #SolomonPena got his ass kicked in the '22 elections. He couldn't handle failure, so he decides to take it out on those who won. That's right, Solomon resorted to good, old-fashioned contract killin'. Yeah, that'll teach 'em. #RightGoneWrong #ConservativePsychosis

@Florence He does however have the whole stand on the shore of lake Michigan and turn into an ice sculpture thing going for his argument.
Just sayin…
🤣 aahh, so you do know about the American Midwestern winters! 🤣
it took me about 2 winters in IN to get to where I could be outside for longer than 5 minutes and not feel like an icicle. By my last winter there, Jan 2022, I could be outside in 30F (-1C) with just a long sleeve sweater or thick top, gloves, and a scarf.
I gotta head to bed now, it's after 1 a.m. here. Take care and stay warm!!
@Florence Yeah its even cold here in London and as we are all soft Southerner’s, its biting.
Well not me I’m from tup North
I wondered as I don't think I've ever heard it getting that cold in the UK.
Are you letting your faucets trickle water so they don't freeze?

Unfuckingbelievable.
I can't stand the commentators on the #AusOpen. One of then is the ex-tennis partner of the guy who was eventually imprisoned for child rape, he always said he knew nothing about it (but frankly, his commentary does him no favors)
He describes female tennis players as flavors of ice cream. 'Oh, look, isn't she just chocolate iced mint' and it's the most patronizing, nonsense thing ever.
I've complained but he's always there.
I don't watch it because of him.
From a letter sent to McCarthy, Stefanik, and the Congressional Leadership Fund. They did not immediately reply to requests for comment.
"It is one thing for a candidate such as Mr. Santos to induce voters to support him based on a web of lies," Goldman wrote in his letter. "But it is altogether something else if the top levels of Republican leadership knew about Mr. Santos' lies during the campaign and chose to be complicit."

One of my all-time favorite sports press conferences.
Sean Dyche, then manager of Burnley Football Club was asked 'has anyone told you you look like Mick Hucknall' and then Sean, bless him, went on for 5 mins (this video is only part of it) giggling about lookalikes.
Press Conference forgotten. It's such fun...
@Florence Good morning to Flossie from all the fellow sun worshippers (especially those of us in the northern hemisphere experiencing a grey, cloudy, snowy morning).
It's me. I'm the problem. I'm that person your mother warned you about! 'We all do well when we all do well' (Wellstone) #BLM #VoteBlue #Democracy #Cancer
