Well, we tried one pond last Sunday and a different one this Sunday. Turns out Yoda (my doggie) likes the pond more that we went to today, so that is our new weekend morning walk location. :)

It's a small victory, but WOO HOO! The doggie I adopted on Saturday pooped OUTSIDE on our walk this morning. :) Again, small victory, but it thrills me nonetheless. :)

This is Yoda the first night he came home. :) He's about 2.

It's weird how much more I feel like me now that the lower half of my hair is forest green again. :) If only it matched my glasses exactly! lol

If you go to her page you can read all 8 parts, and then after all 8 parts is a list of her sources. Very interesting facts here!

Bad thing about listening to ESPN radio this morning - half of their conversation today is about Kelce & Swift getting engaged. I don't care! I wish them well, but talk about SPORTS!!!

Any Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis researchers here? Motor Neuron Disease if you're in the UK, IIRC.

I'm TOTALLY loving it so far! Just got past the part where the story about the mark occurs.

Correction. 4 years at MIT.

Why the heck does my washer & dryer think I want to pay someone to do my laundry for me? Found that offer in their app today. Weird, man, weird.

Great! Got any plans to partner with someone who can make an Android version of the app?

Finished Ironheart last night. How does a kid who spent 4 years at Harvard or Yale not know the name Mephisto?

I'm going to continue reading the book by @kevin-gallant.bsky.social that I started earlier this week. Only up to chapter 4 so far, but I'm hooked!

Anyone else get excited when they realize their annual appointment with their otolaryngologist is less than a month away? :)

Well, unless you live in a smallish apartment. That's why I'm glad I've had a Barnes & Noble nook since they launched. Just got my newest one back in April. If I recall correctly, this is only the third time I've replaced it in the years since 2009 when I got my first one. :)

John Howard Rouse (RIP) and me in Simpsons form in their living room.  With Snowball II and Santa's LIttle Helper.

Here's the Simpsons version of my bestie and me. :) HE's got the cat because he was a total cat dude, and I have the dog because while I love cats, I love doggos more. :)

Oops - first time I've opened Bluesky in a while. Sorry, y'all! Been busy in the real world and joined a gym so I can have more luck getting back on track with my weight loss journey. Sucks to lose 100+ lbs, then have 80 of it come back due to grief (bestie died, then dog died).

I'm all for local news and supporting them, but not the Austin American Statesman. Subscribed for multiple years, had 9 months last year when they were promising me they'd extend my account by a week since I wasn't getting my Sunday paper. Never once happened. Lies galore! SHAME!

Well, drat! I didn't order my new Krypto shirt fast enough to be able to wear it to see Superman this afternoon. C'est la vie! That dog looks SOOOOOOO cute! And, of course, he's Super! :)

Pretty sure my Mom read to me. I also know she's told me I started reading at age 4. Haven't stopped yet. :)

Every time my sweet boy Bowie (doggo) started sniffing, I would always ask him who or what he was grokking. :)

I think you misspelled "misogynistic" as "silly."

I hope the videographer didn't touch the armadillo; they carry leprosy and can transmit it to humans.

the republican party is a modern day Slave Power and the only way forward for this country is to sweep it into the ash heap of history

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.

Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.

Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow?

Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?

Our new concentration camps?

Our dying economy?

Our ditching due process?

Our corruption?

Our broken legislature?

Our corrupt SCOTUS?

Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly

I haven't read a romance novel in years, but I am 100% in your corner on this!
