Yep.

I can't even come here most days because everyone seems to be posting all the horrible stuff over and over and I can't choose not to see it. I'm taking care of my tiny portion of the world and that's my limit most of the time.

Sympathy heart, not love heart. Really need more emojis here.

And my not food-obsessed budgie getting a turn for treats when the other fellow wasn't looking.

My food-obsessed Budgie now wants me to feed treats from my hand. He was quite untamed when I got him.

I'm not finding this site at all useful or pleasant to use. One friend's posts that I'm "mutual" with have stopped appearing in my "mutual" feed, and other than that, I'm seeing photos of another friend's cats. It's been a while since anyone took notice of anything I posted, so I've stopped.

People are weird.

"Wishing everyone a peaceful winter season." Sepia image of bare trees in snow against a cloudy sky with the sun glowing through the clouds.

Yeah, I found it in my personal acct. I had to have a business acct when I had a business, and I still have to receive royalty payments there. I only use the personal acct to receive rent from my housemate fee-free, and I received alimony through it while that lasted for the same reason.

Bluesky is confusing--I can't find my other reply. It appears that the above info applies to personal PayPal accts, not business accts. I have both and my personal acct has the thing, but it's turned off, and my business acct doesn't have it at all. I only purchase through my business acct.

There is no "personal shopping" option that I can find in any of my "settings".

Nice snap of my pond after heavy wet snow.

Winter storm coming tomorrow. I'll be all snug with Mandy and the birds. Mandy will probably be stir-crazy, but if she won't wade through the snow, that's on her, LOL!

Today I learned that my little dog *will* come right back when the deer gets away.

I move rocks around to relieve stress. Working on a "conversation circle" even though I never have anyone over.

LOL!!!! I wrote common "rooms", LOL!!!! It's "room". My house only has 3 rooms (plus 2 bathrooms--a luxury!).

I never stopped masking and isolating. Knock wood, it's still effective--I'm not even catching colds. Luckily I don't mind masking (homemade mask for comfort), and I also love being alone. My housemate was sick recently (flu) and she masked when in the common rooms, and I didn't catch it.

I'll happily run rearguard for anyone who *has* to run. I thought about getting a passport (I had one 40 years ago), but I'd rather be a link in the safety chain. I'm only about 50 miles from the Canadian border, BTW.

This is in Vermont, but yes, they do. They are only white (ermine) in winter. In fact, I saw one still in its summer (weasel) coat earlier in the week. Googling them, it looks like they may be found as far south as Maryland.

This little ermine was very curious this morning!

Fell asleep watching TV, and now I'm wide awake.

Fuzzy wire-haired dog. White with tan spots. Looks like an escapee from a Disney cartoon.

What do you get when you cross a Mini Schnauzer with a Pit Bull?

A Schnibull--and it looks like this:

I don't understand what to do. If I subscribe to MAGA Moderation I will automatically be safe from MAGA here?

No clue how to use the site.
