@Garek Happy belated birthday!

@SteveDodd Welcome! You’ve got a fascinating career!

@SallyB Welcome!

@DualReality69 I’m a minister’s daughter and I can’t believe what I’m hearing from ministers these days. My dad was also on the school board, and I remember asking him why he didn’t want prayer in schools. His answer was, “whose prayer? You can’t put one religion or prayer over another.” And we were Assembly of God.

@krachaelgreen Hello and welcome!

@timholt2007 Really? I lean wayyyy left and I find mostly like-minded folks here! So welcome!

@razorbunz Ahhh Tokyo is the tip of the iceberg! If you go again, visit Nara in August during the Obon holiday. It’s magical. But it is HOT.

@KiMira Welcome kindred spirit!

@razorbunz Yeah, I’m not a city person. Lived in a big city in Japan for two years and that’s hell for an introvert! Although the people are absolutely lovely. Guess my holiday gift to myself should be a generator! Home ownership is not for the weak.

@razorbunz Good lord! These are days I regret that I haven’t gotten a generator. I live in a small Oakland County town, so no one rushes to repair our power when it goes out.

@RobJ_ Sorry to hear that! I’ve been sitting here feeling proud because I successfully replaced my kitchen faucet hose and wondering what I could repair next. I’m going to take your experience as a warning and leave well enough alone.

@razorbunz Just hoping the power lines don’t come down!

@OneLillieSpark Well I learned something new today. Did not know Jelly Belly made candy corn!

@OneLillieSpark I’m just happy to hear I’m not the only one who likes candy corn!

@CaitBuddy The sad and scary thing is that people fall for this nonsense.

@remymura And there’s more where this came from!

@Sanakism They won’t admit it, but it’s true.

@mohu Let’s make an ad for that!

@RobPalmerIRL 💯

@mohu Right?! Bet no one would skip school if it was true!
