40.3 oz container of Folger’s Columbian coffee today at Sam’s: $22.48.
Exactly 1 year ago the same was: $14.98.
Increase of $7.50 in 1 year. 50% increase. ☹
The price hikes aren’t just for coffee. Forced into making changes & other choices.
Not happy about what is happening in DC! #DumpTrump

Live updates: Trump administration to launch new private health tracking system with Big Tech's help President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he’ll impose a 25% tariff on goods from India, plus an additional import tax because he says India’s purchasing of Russian oil is extending the war in Ukraine.

NO THANKS!!!!!

I have several excellent recipes for Carrot Cake! Which one to bake? Which one to bake? 🤔 How dare he! Who does he think he is? The Wizard of Oz?? Nope! Let the bake off begin! 🥕🎂

I had my mouth washed out with soap a time or two as a kid when I said bad words in public, Mr. President. I even spelled your bad word one time and got the bar of soap! Mom always said she used Ivory soap. Pretty sure it was Dial. Nasty soap for nasty talk. Here's a bar for you!

Ditto!

My hopes for 2026 midterms ...

261 Democrats/Independents in the House
60 Democrats/Independents in the Senate

Let's clean up this mess with an effective majority!

Trump & every one in his administration & every enabling member of Congress SHOULD BE IMPEACHED. From 45,000 in December to this! He lit a match and toodled off to his golf course, a bit like Nero plucking his fiddle. We cannot allow him to torch our country. What is wrong with you, Republicans????

Autism ≠ Diminished Capacity

.... in case anyone is uninformed or was wondering.

Empathy is a superpower. Empathy is also kryptonite to the soul and one’s mental health in times like these. Power without power is crippling.

How much cynicism is too much? 🤔
Also, how much cynicism is too little? 🤷‍♀️

I dare say, as academics, economists, and other leaders look back on this time in our U.S. history in the coming years and decades, this period … this presidency will likely become known as the time of America’s Great Shame.

The Oval Office ambush of Ukraine’s Pres Z was despicable, but I was taken with the dynamic between the VP & POTUS. VP reached over & patted POTUS like a person might do to a dottery old fool who was having a meltdown. The “leader of the ‘free’ world” patted like the dottery old fool that he is.

Baking altar bread today, so I had to wear my "sheepies" t-shirt (compliments of the @nakedpastor). We are all hanging by the same thread. Love ALL sheepies! Feed His sheepies! 💕🐑💕

There are many Americans here in the US that are feeling like the spouse of a narcissistic, controlling, isolating partner—our “leaders”. We loathe what we are seeing unfold. We know you might feel compelled to judge us all, but for many of us, we are not them. Pray for the US but do what you must.

It seems the Trump/MAGA mission statement may be simply paraphrased as: "If we can't sell--insert here (or everything!)--and enrich ourselves, we will burn--insert here (or everything!)--,all of it, down."

There is no way to put any of this "into perspective." Dreadful, dreadful, dreadful.

Floridians don't want their crops to rot in the fields or on trees. They don't want their resort revenue compromised due to a lack of service in the hospitality industry. Many understand the need for migrants who are more than willing to do jobs (gratefully) that others (US citizens) will not.

#Autism Masking/Coping 101 - Observe what other people are doing, and then do that. Unless, of course, you also observe that thing you are mimicking is not a good thing ... then, never do it again. (And hope you haven't ruined your "permanent record" out of ignorance!).

Me too.

When did truth and the desire for it leave us? Did it occur over time, slowly eroded by repeated small assaults? Did we lose truth first and then become desensitized to its absence leaving us with no desire for it? When did truth and the desire for it leave us?

I don't normally make any new year resolutions, but I have one this year. Just one.

"Stop doing things that aren't working!"

Of course, this leads to quite a list of things to stop doing. But, yes, only one resolution. 🤷‍♀️ Already working the sub-list.

If you ever see a bag this big leaving the house and you don't see BOTH of us accompanying it ... please call the authorities! 🤣😂 Lord, have mercy! Those leaves are wet and heavy in that person-sized, 55-gallon trash bag!! 🙃🍂🍁

I tried a new recipe today. Apple Cinnamon (Yeast) Loaf. Lord, have mercy!!! So good! But I thought it was going to explode out of the pan in the oven. Bigger pan next time! It smells great! It tastes great! Social media needs to find a way to share the aromas and flavors. 😋

Shame it isn't this easy to help folks see the truth of things. 🤷‍♀️

I have been a bit rattled since the diagnosis. Now, I'm no longer hiding my "differences" that I always knew existed. I just never knew what was ... different about me.

So, we just pulled this from the slow cooker. It smells so good! It tastes so good! No wonder Esau traded his birthright for a bit of red pottage! 😋 #Soupseason #RedLentils
