Of course you are. You are my child after all. See you in a couple weeks. Safe travels and have a great time.

Put mothballs in your attic. Lots of them. Hopefully that will drive them out. It worked for us in our first house. It was mice, but they left and never returned.

We have since seen the 'error of our ways' and now attend a more progressive church. Growing up did you ever think your mother would read communion liturgy and lead prayer during the service? The ladies on my maternal side would be approving I stayed on the path they set. Grandma raised me right.

Post from Donald Trump on Truth Social: A really deadly weekend in Chicago. 6 dead, 27 hurt in crime sprees all over the city. Panic stricken Governor Pritzker says that crime is under control, when in fact it is just the opposite. He is an incompetent governor who should call me for help. Mayor Johnson is no better. Make Chicago great again!

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago.

8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois.

And yet Trump is sending troops here.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

Exclusive: Trump team withholds $140 million budgeted for fentanyl fight Threats to $140 million in funds for public health departments battling fentanyl overdoses comes as some experts see the addiction safety net unraveling.

🧠🪱: You got help for substance use.

Now you're (unfortunately) running CDC.

So DO something - release the funding.

Red tape — since DOGE — is worse than ever. It’s blocking addiction treatment funding.

People—our friends, neighbors, family—could die.

The fentanyl crisis is killing us.

The idea that some human beings should be treated as created in God’s image and some shouldn’t is the beginning of every kind of cruelty Christians carry out in the name of Christ.

Every human being is created in God’s image and should be treated accordingly.

Period.

Any chipmunks? BTW there is a type of birdseed that is unattractive to rats according to one of our neighbors. She couldn’t remember the name

Definitely give Capaldi's Doctor a try. He had some great episodes. His Zygon Inversion knocked Blink to my second favorite episode.

With the GOP every accusation is a confession.

I’m so pissed right now, I have no words other than impeach this clown now. Grow a spine Republicans.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We’ve truly lost our way in this country.

An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

A fair question!

I’m hearing rumors that thousands of people are calling the ICE tip line to report little green men and other aliens from outer space. That’s not why ICE set up this number, so you should absolutely NOT call that tip line to report those types of aliens. 👽

I repeat—do NOT call the below number! ☎️
