Good grief, what a week it's been. Not going into a play-by-play, but I'm not really bent about our modem's demise roughly an hour ago. Given the gauntlet the kids and I ran, no house internet for a few days gives us a welcome and overdue period to hang out together playing console games and being generally silly. Yeah, this is exactly what we need right now. 😄
Hold my... coffee.

@sentientdessert @PaganMother got this from someone else here on CoSo, and I hold it close to my heart now. Every time I hear “you must tolerate my intolerance” I remind myself of this:
Excellent information, thank you.

@fugitive247 Many Home Depot stores have a bin for worn-out flags, and most if not all VFW will take old flags to ensure they're recycled or burned properly.
I'll never forget the time my uncle Johnny had just finished pool maintenance at my grandparents' house in Satellite Beach. Lightning struck the deck where he'd stood barely 10 seconds before. The bolt smashed the concrete something fierce. Thank goodness in wasn't Johnny! 😧

Americans with wealth and power don't generally care about the middle and lower classes. Even worse, they are doing real damage to the people they don't care about.
But why? Either these well-positioned people are 100 percent out of touch with the realities of middle-class life in our country, or they're contemptuous of those they consider inferior, or they believe so strongly in individual 'freedom' that even the word 'social' is repugnant to them.
Happy Wednesday, friends. I'm waiting outside the Federal Building in Salem, Arkansas, while my son gets his newly purchased replacement vehicle registered. Since this is the 1st time I've ever seen a flag disposal receptacle, I have to ask, are these common?

To Whom It May Concern:
Today is my 37th Sobriety Anniversary
One thing is certain....had I not gotten sober, I would not still be alive
Onward & Upward!
p.s. I added a screenshot of what I wrote on Facebook. Its a bit too long to string out on here
That's a major accumulation of daily reprieves, indeed. Rock on! 🎉🎂💖
Ahh... Faintly twinkling stars and the blissful fragrance of honeysuckle in bloom on a refreshing spring night.

Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake...

TIL what a nupp is (thank you!). 😀
For benefit of other knitters who also thrive on expanding their knowledge, there are plenty of tutorials online, so have a blast!

US Senator Katie Britt just introduced a Bill to create a Federal Database of Pregnant People. Yes, this Dystopian AF world is happening now. All hands on deck. This is not a drill.

The Twin Lakes area was very fortunate yet again. At this rate it's like waiting for the proverbial shoe to drop. Less worried about it now than this time last year, when the kids and I were still living in that ancient, derelict deathtrap of a mobile home. So much safer now.😀
Hey, neighbor. Good to see you. Hope you and yours fared well despite the wild weather.
