Girl from the Burgh, made a career in steel. Retired now. Post food, pets & politics. Liberal, if that bothers you-tough. Also petty AF. And: #KHive, always. This is not a dating site. NOT a resister, no automatic follow-back but maybe a Block.

Yes, it is. I just need to get my act together to get mine prepped & sent. At this rate, won't be until Spring 2026 when I get back here from AZ.

Streaming BritBox, swear I'm going to bed right after this episode of Death In Paradise (yes, I've seen it before).

Oh, Miss Aja. Just know you gave that miserable account the most interaction they've had in forever. They cannot hold a candle to your engagement that helped get folks out to vote.

My search was i conclusive, you're seemed to have been more fruitful.

Just found an organization that will repurpose mine into burial gowns for newborns/stillborns. Want to do more research but probably going to ship it to them.

Moved to the region in 1984, city proper in 2014. I still chuckle thinking my late husband would be saying: what, you're moving to Skid Row?!?!? Those days are long gone. I miss Marshall Fields.

Close, just about a block or two South of me. My first search in the city was South Loop & I settled in West Loop. Great part of this great city.

Two blocks SW, bare edge of West Loop/Best Loop.

Thank you. True North. I used to be able to see Sears/Willis Tower just to the East until BMO built their building.

My crazy cat has, so far, ignored the tree. When I'm done decorating it there will be jingle bells all along the lower branches, in case.

We took it, goes through some "possibly" interesting towns in OK, TX, & NM. Also, stopped at a Buccees, younger sister had never been.

I was in a mood today. I will not tolerate randos attacking the folks I follow & blaming the Democrats for the mess we are in.

Now, time for something totally different! Perhaps I should search out the old Monty Python shows, the Nazi jokes might make more sense now.

Hey, that indoor greenhouse nursery is a good option in these times. Great redirect of the decorations.

Sugar, the left by itself is too damn small to accomplish jack shit. But, y'all refuse to compromise one fucking bit in the short term for longer term gains. It's your weakness and, frankly, doesn't help the rest of America. Please, let's discontinue this discourse of your tired DSA talking points.

Oh sweetie, I've read books. Also know, for now, Citizens United exists so $$$ is essential to win in politics. Wish it weren't but until we gain large Dem majorities for > 2 or 4 fucking years it's not going anywhere. But, you American Guys keep voting for majority Republicans, my demographic too ๐Ÿ˜˜

Haven't blocked yet. I did mute in case he continues to reply to me. I might still want to rant back at him until he blocks me ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

My replies to him also found this one, guaranteed to find these accounts everty time Rep Jeffries posts:

Another angry man weighs in. "Corporate Dem", "centrist Dem", are meaningless labels thrown about by those that don't know/care about makeup of American public. Every state & district requires a different rep, everyone can't be edgy left. Your idea of clean house=smaller minority, get Rs out first.
