Great-Aunt Jill

Gooood morning. After an hour with Verizon, during which I entertained the tech guy the best I could, I'm online and I've Wordled.

This photo was posted on my birthday. I'm honored.

Oh Emm Gee. Everything he says seems to have a horrifying context or backstory. You don't want to know, but you can't look away as it unfolds.

Secretary of War Pete H... V • 6m President Trump ordered action — and the Department of War is delivering. Today, I'm announcing Operation SOUTHERN SPEAR. Led by Joint Task Force Southern Spear and @SOUTHCOM, this mission defends our Homeland, removes narco-terrorists from our Hemisphere, and secures our Homeland from the drugs that are killing our people. The Western Hemisphere is America's neighborhood - and we will protect it.

It’s started.

What she said.

Good morning to all who are awake, which I wish I was not.

Let's see... He'll deteriorate even faster under the stress of travel. Making lots of speeches will show off his incoherence, ignorance, and stupidity. Sounds not so bad to me.

G'mornin'. Leave it to me to think of the weird word before the common word.

It occurs to me that AI is nothing but other people's ideas. I prefer my own ideas, thanks.

Here's why I'm happy with the Ds, from electoral-vote.com, quoted in Balloon Juice.

I'd like to reward my doctor and his staff for being so kind to me yesterday during an emergency visit. Anybody have suggestions on what to give them?

I've been reading Rhys Bowen's stories of Lady Georgianna, distant relative of King George. Queen Mary gets help from her and her husband, a sort of spy. I enjoy them as, yes, you got it, escapism. (I like the phrase "disassociative relief.")

Am I alone in thinking one murder should be sufficient for a murder mystery, especially a cozy? The second always seems excessive, but of course it's essential to the plot.

Same. I'm lucky enough to be able to make it through a while without my SNAP and spending 80 years #HereNearDC tells me we can't always predict what will happen on the Hill.

Good morning and rowr to all the kitties out there.

I worked for Target for a while in the oughts. If they had told me to do this I would have quit in a heartbeat.

Yes they are. Mine have a habit of exploding onto people. Friends have learned to understand; other victims not so much.

Vacation goeth before a fall. Sigh.

This post is ironic synchronicity due to the fact that my kitty is having a couple of bad butt-drag days. Sigh.

You just had to say that. I presume you're joking.

She boxed in her colleagues, both Supreme and lower, to prevent them from dragging their feet while people go hungry. It's all in the timing.

All those apostrophes as well as a hyphen and an en dash are in the right places so I'll spot them an "a an."

I have a theory about the 3s but that would be telling.
