I live in a townhouse, so there's limited natural light, and 5 people are living in my household
+ I work from home and my husband does also, part time.
I didn't used to pay $300/month, but the rates keep going up and up.
Needless to say, we have all been spending much more time in the dark lately

Yeah. I know, Duke raised my rates for infrastructure improvements... My bill was up to $300 last month alone.
Yet, the CEO makes a base of 1.3 million and total compensation of 21 million in 2024, so that's why I'm not really trying to hear it. Maybe the rates don't really need to go up so much.

Having family in Miami, well, I certainly can verify they have a significant presence of the Russian Mafia.
Yes, there are many Trump Towers, as well. Specifically, I'm referring to "Sunny Isles Beach," formerly known as North Miami.
I'm old enough to remember when Miami was free spirited + niceπŸ₯Ή

Oh finally.
A Place For Mom/Dad that isn't my house and looks potentially affordable.
A little paint, some curtains, a throw rug, I think it'll be πŸ‘Œ perfect.

Farming fear, per usual, I see.

On a personal note, I used to love taking the train wherever, whenever, when I lived in NY. The sense of freedom and time to look out the window and contemplate my thoughts. And I am sad it's not really so much of a thing here in NC , but I digress.

Cool, kids families that used to be able to afford 30(?) get 2, kids whose families afforded 2 get -28(?)... Kids whose families could never afford any? Families who couldn't even afford furniture/beds/food/basics. Nevermind dolls?
But the wealthy get huge tax cuts, so they can afford tons of dolls?

Well golly, I do declare, we the people should certainly be surveiling the government. Clearly we cannot trust our employees. I'm glad to see he's on board. πŸ˜‚

Let it be known: if nothing else, we still get to be the "home of the brave."

The crazy thing, any one of us is out on the street, homeless, starving, actually suffering. Not because we decided to use our πŸ’² power and influence to hurt others, but because of him and people like him. What's going to happen to him? He loses a yacht maybe? Can't go to Mars?
Well, cry me a river.

I'm not entirely sure Putin needs to have something on him?
Both are corrupt opportunists, right?
Does Trump care about the USA or anything else beyond the scope of exploitation?

To be fair, I have several ancestral lines that are renowned for their drinking skills and blithely shenanigans.
I celebrate and embrace them all as much as possible.

I like my man just fine with with his long lashes....
And I really find it attractive when he just wants to be a good human that's a thinking, feeling, kindly human partner with me.
Without having to assert some silly man-ego-thing.
That's what really gets me hot.

It's almost funnier because he actually bought votes.

In fact, if I didn't live in the US it would probably be hysterical.

I'm sad to say that, in fact, there are many parents who don't support their trans, gay, (any other thing that they personally don't like), children and actually hate them and cut them off forever. β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή

Ok, I think I'm pretty much done with this one. Any adjustments I make at this point will be small, anyway.

Elon is a 'brainiac' πŸ˜‚
So, he knows he should pay higher taxes, not receive a huge tax cut when debt is this dire, because any imbecile can figure that out, right? But he assumes everyone else is stupid and he can pull off this scam?Lo another R peddling Musk propaganda-presumably for personal gain

After unsuccessful attempts to reason I have ended up telling them I have a wall to sell them. A glorious wall. Comes with a giant faucet that takes a whole day to turn on, but puts out any wildfire.
Yeah, they are getting scammed cause they are easy targets. Hope they figure it out sometime soon.

I'm not so sure he really cares-unless it actually hits him personally. Just saying.

I know. I'm a sick, sick person.
I promise to try to like it again-I liked it as a kid πŸ˜„ I even liked getting the hard maple candy in VT as a kid.
I go to a local restaurant that makes poutine regularly, too...
But I don't get poutine cause I am vegetarian. Ok, I failed everything. Sorry.

Canada has indicated that they don't really want to annex us either 😭 I (spoof) voted for NC to be annexed. if, per chance, Canada wants a really quite warm province? Red hats can flee to TN or SC so they don't have to be part of our dangerous liberal socialisms? I can learn to like maple syrup, eh.

Good news!
I've submitted my second Beanie and Unicorny book for copyright and plan on publishing soon πŸ’•
(Bad news-first one is only available on Amazon, but I plan on working to resolve this matter this week πŸ˜…...or longer as I anticipate issues)
Kindly note that these are πŸ’― independent works.

Last recession we lost everything and didn't have much to start. We know all too well. The ripple effects are obvious. I resent that after years of struggling, my husband finally got a 'secure' govt position last year. Now we are fearful again. He still works 2 jobs if anyone thinks he's overpaid.
