You know how historians batch times into ages like the Dark Ages and the Industrial Age etc. I think the time we are living through these recent and upcoming decades will be called the Existential Crisis Age.

This timeline sucks. I want CERN to undo whatever they do with the Higgs Boson. So may people we once respected have done such horrific things. Our entire lives have been a farce.

Slogan for Xanax: “Gets you through the day today and ensures you forget this day ever happened tomorrow. Dementia isn’t a side effect, it’s a feature!”

Ever been sitting around thinking, "You know... if I had two more fountain pens all my problems would be solved."

Don’t tell Cathy. I am working on a new trick.

I need to escape from the US

Just going to put this out here. There is absolutely a right side and a wrong side to a Ritz cracker.

Food for thought: You don’t need a thermometer to know how cold it is outside if you have an unheated bidet

I’m having breakfast in the hotel lobby and a lady came down for breakfast in silky, skimpy pajamas looking like she just rolled out of bed, did her hair and makeup, and came straight to the lobby

Someone claimed it. Leaving the post up because I like the piece.

I think it would be fun to have all my therapists over the years gather in one room then listen to them compare notes. Now that's new definition for group therapy!

Find and contact elected officials | USAGov Use USAGov’s Contact Your Elected Officials tool to get contact information for your members of Congress, the president, and state and local officials.

The president has openly declared war on the American people and stated he wants to use American cities as training grounds. Call your House representative. Demand they impeach the president?

You have the power! At least for now. Pick up your phone. It's an easy call.

You know when a relative passes away and you want to try to reconnect with them so you decide to scroll through their photos on their phone? Yeah, don’t do that.

Good! Now get on the phone with your House representatives and tell them to support the impeachment of RFK Jr. They need to hear from you.

Alexa+ is rocking! Loving the conversational style. So much closer to talking to Jarvis

Whenever I feel like looking at social media, I force myself to do a lesson in Morse Toad before allowing myself to open that social media app. More times than not, the social media app never gets opening after the Morse code lesson.

What a bizarre timeline! Never thought I'd see the day that I agree with Tucker Carlson

Trump is a weak man

I think I finally understand football. It’s something to stare at while you drink beer.

Young her: “What’s your relation to the patient?”

Me: “Father”

Her: “Your relation?”

Me: “Father”

Her: blank stare

Me: “Dad”

Her: “Oh”

Old man beside her: “He’s Gen X. Father is dad.”

Who is the best urologist in Knoxville?

And we are having to keep paying our bills, make deadlines, figure out how to pay for the skyrocketing prices of food and goods, make calls to elected officials deaf ears (feels pointless), plan for possible power and internet outages and maybe water issues etc. And protest but not get arrested.
