Phew - sorry for the extended absence, been a rough coupla weeks that culminated with one of the kiddo's testing positive with a breakthrough infection. So far it's just the one (whole house minus the toddler is vaxxed), but dealing with the brain-tickler follow-ups is wearing on everyone a bit.

Anyhow, happy Windows 11-eve, lol!!

I'm... mildly concerned. My wife just created a planter full of venus flytraps. Like 6 of them. Callin' it now.... If I come home to something like this, the solution will involve fire.

@Beanc Either James Earl Jones, or Hellen Mirren.

@boxypunkchick Truth. Some days are harder than others... just gotta keep on, keepin' on. You got this.

@Beanc Oh, it's even worse:

@sfleetucker ...and by "fraudulent election," they mean everyone too smart to be taken in by the cult's rhetoric, and brainwashed into turnips like them.

Damn. Gonna take a break - not sure I can people today. Here's a playlist I've got goin' on shuffle. Memories of times with sisters and brothers in service got me all up in the feels. Remember to check on your peeps, if you're able. If you're struggling, remember - It takes strength to reach out, it's not a sign of weakness. The Vet crisis line is 1-800-273-8255, then press 1. You're important. And you are loved.

Where were you?

I was in the woods on All American DZ, Fort Bragg.

#NeverForget

@Bemet_Or Thanks - worst part is, I was I had just finished telling the kids I was getting ready for deployment that there was nothin' wrong with it, and 10 pushups afterwards would help to keep it from knotting up. And like a good leader, I told 'em I'd go first to prove it.... then woke up in the ambulance as they were cutting my uniform off.

@Bemet_Or Right?! I remember when folks were threatening to get out over the Anthrax vaccine... but very few actually did. Hell, I ended up with one of these, but not until after I did the kickin' chicken after getting my first shot. Note: It was likely from a contaminated batch, as that was around the time the lab got shut down. Never had a reaction to anything else.
