It never gets easier. I passed 15 years since losing my mom this year. Big hugs.
@CinnamonGirlE mom passed away in 2002, I wasn't there when it happened - last I saw her was in 2001 - and what happened during my visit wasn't pretty - it ruined everything and changed me for life (my father beat the shit out of me in front of my kids)
What a lovely way to celebrate and honor your mom! Happy Heavenly Birthday to your mom! 🩷
As for it feeling different this year, that's normal. Sometimes we are just in a different place emotionally and mentally. Sending you 🫂💙
Tomorrow would be mom's birthday so I took it off (as usual) but not sure what I want to do in her honor... it's supposed to be rainy out so most likely I'll just chill out & relax with some of her favorite music and drink a Pepsi (her favorite soda but I'm a Coca Cola dude)...and light a few candles - it just feels different this year and I don't know why...
@duglop I can confirm it's at least $7 at one station in Menlo Park. It's bound to be the highest in CA because we have the highest taxes as well as a more costly "summer blend". It's $5+ at my local Costco.
@duglop It's in Menlo Park, and they've done this before in previous years. It gets them lots of free publicity and the right wingers get to scream about the out of control prices under Newsom and Biden. Most of the gas in the area is under $5.50.
@duglop California and greedflation run amuk. (4/23/24 national avg 3.66)

I don't know 100% if this is legit or not but if it is that's $3 higher than it is here right now
(The location isn't disclosed it just says California) again this isn't mine here's the source

I'm not a fan of Tarja at all but I love me some Within Temptation
This is Within Temptation with Tarja Paradise (What About Us) live from Mera Luna 2016

@mikeharmanos I thought I saw something about a GoFundMe account or something set up for her I could be wrong and if I am wrong maybe we could think about doing that
Here we go again. This is infuriating because any of us would already be behind bars, but now prosecutors are only seeking a fine and the judge is hesitant to actually throw Trump behind bars
