Whom ever you decide to vote for is your right & choice.
You don't have to agree with them.
But if it changes a friendship because you don't agree with them & they accept your choice to vote whom you want while you won't accept their choice?
You don't deserve their friendship.
Acceptance is not conditional. Ether you do, or dont.
My mom went in for wound care over a month ago. It was supposed to only be for 2 weeks. Right as her wound healed enough to come home, someone in the facility tested positive for covid. She then tested positive a few days later and we had to fight with them to get her started on paxlovid immediately. She's symptom free thanks to being vaccinated and paxlovid, but she's still testing positive. We're hoping she can come home soon.
Please wear a mask you guys. Covid, h5n1, and rsv are ramping up.
Hey,
While I found the dm/ mail area I haven't figured out how to send you one here.
Check your im on twitter.
It's the electorial votes that decides the election. Not always the popular vote.
Electorial votes are equal to the number of senators & representatives in the US congressional delegation plus a number of votes equal to the number of its congressional districts.
This makes the election a process based on the number of electorials deciding who is to get into office.
It's time to grow a set & be adults rather than preschoolers squabbling over juiceboxes.
This election was lost by the democrats because of their nasty mean spirited behavior.
It continues even now.
We are not stupid, we do not need things mansplained.
Nor do we need to continue to have any more hate being vomited into discussions. Stop riding roughshod over people who don't feel as you do.
It's just proving the other person's point.
No one likes a bully, or troll.
When you pledge to help 100 million people and leave behind the 240 million others.
Animal Farm by George Orwell answers:
"All animals are equal: (The final commandment is reduced to)
"All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others"
Things which are important are a matter of perspective.
Was scheduled for a liver biopsy. Well, multiple biopsies done at the same time on my liver. Means an overnight stay.
Did I mention my change in health plan means I start back at 0$ for my out of pocket max that I only had 600$ to go and now it's 8,000$
& on Jan 1st it resets again.
Peanut the squirrel was euthanized to test for rabies & the internet goes nuts.
Trick or treating when I was young meant 9 houses to go to, a pillow case and what ever we found to dress up as. Coffee grounds made us hobos with Da's old coat.
9 houses = 3/4 of the pillow case filled with full sized candy bars, homemade gingerbread men, red delicious apples and occasionally an oj box from McDonald's. There were maybe 20 kids total who came to the door.
We always were safe, and known to all the neighbors.
Just saw a guy in a work truck driving around the neighborhood with his toddler sitting on his lap.
The kid waved, I returned the wave. The dad laughed.
This is bad in so many ways.
Car seat
Facing rear until they are ht & wt.
Front faced car seat until they are ht & wt.
Booster seat until they are 4 foot 9.
Every time
No exceptions.
Sure.
It may seem ok one time.
Next time the kid won't want to get in the car seat.
What then?
Car seats are less expensive than a kids funeral.
This is a reminder to concern yourself with important things that really matter.
This is a honey bee on an early dandelion. The yellow on her knees is pollen and she's collecting necter from the dandelion.
How is this important?
It's early spring.
The dandelion wasn't from a treated lawn or a gmo plant.
The bee didn't have to worry about bug spray.
The bee and her sisters survived through the winter.
Gmo plants reduce bees lifespan by 2 days & the food for the hives.
Be kind.
Thank you all for the warm welcome! I tried to answer yellow of you, I apologize if I've missed anyone.
Thank you Edge for letting me know about this forum!
This was my second watercolor that I did last year. I tried to duplicate the swallowtail image but apparently yellow is really hard yo work with. So I used another butterfly coloration to make it sort of a monarch swallowtail.
The butterfly is meh.
But what I got really excited about are the flowers. Still don't know how I did them.
