You are not a multimillionaire, I'm guessing. So you would die or be in crippling debt forever. Like the good old days.

As a fed, this has been financially and emotionally draining. To think it will have been to gain pretty much nothing is infuriating. (I know-RIFsd will be reversed. But on 1/30, those folks can be re-RIFd. I would expect that. )

There is a 2019 law in place mandating back pay after a shutdown with no further vote/approval required. So unless that gets changed, people are not getting paid now, but should eventually be paid.

It's important that it doesn't. Three teens are in critical condition.

Shooting at Evergreen High School in Colorado leaves several students hurt; suspect among those injured The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office says they're "not certain how many shooters" are responsible for a school shooting that critically injured three students in Evergreen.

Love our Gov. So glad to be a New Mexican.

I think many people have decided to think this way to protect their mental health. They feel that nothing they do would make an impact, until they vote, which possibly might have an effect. So they keep their heads down and wait for the next election.

I guess it's a good time not to be wealthy enough that yachting or speed boating in the Caribbean is your hobby...

However, I just checked and the major pharmacies in my area (Cruces) is not offering them yet....

Forgot to say: it has a heat pump so uses way, way less electricity.

We got a GE Profile duo that washes and dries the clothes. Since it's just the 2 of us now and I don't have to do umpteen loads at a time it's great. Set it and forget it. You still have to fold though, which sucks.

Remember Wang terminals?

We notice that the little price signs on the shelves have been replaced by electronic gizmos, so they can have 'real time' pricing, I assume to increase prices on the fly? (At Walmart.)

As an adoptee, I haven't experienced this particular feeling, but I can definitely understand it. Being adopted is a complicated emotional situation.

Same.

I wonder who on earth is working at this place?

The bill is structured so that the cuts do not kick in at all until after the mid-term elections, from what I understand.

I have heard some version of 'regimes come and go' and 'the pendulum swings one way then another' from regular people in my life the past few weeks. It's a way to cope with a current situation that they feel is untenable, and that they don't feel they can change.

Irish and Italians were restricted by Jim Crow laws in some respects. And treated violently at times as well. lasc.libguides.com/mass-lynchin...

Yeah we loved this video. We traditional archers, it's really amazing archery. And he's a delight.

Ouch! I'm so sorry. When a tow is hurt it is such a big deal, though you wouldn't think it.

I'm so sorry. It's so hard.

This goes perfectly to the tune/rhythm of "Cornbread and Butter Beans" by the Carolina Chocolate Drops (who are an amazing band)

I think Apple also donated $1 million to the inauguration and their CEO attended in the VIP section.

Love that about springtime!

We bought 6 bags of coffee last weekend. Now I worry it's not enough!

Oh no! That's awful. I am so sorry.

You may think, from the visible caption, that this is a skit about the Oxford Comma. And it is, but oh, it is also SO MUCH MORE.
