I can’t go to urgent care because I’ve been approximately 6 times in the last month with ear/face cellulitis and everyone treated me like a hypochondriac. Even though I only ever went to urgent care and did exactly what they told me, I.e. return if xyz.

Hey, I’m totally on the getting better side of Covid, which I assumed I’d had before, but now that I can’t taste anything I’m not so sure. My pulse ox is around 92-94 at total rest but if I say, brush my teeth, or, pee, or eat food, it’s closer to 85-87. But I just cannot go to urgent care. WWYD?

I followed you back and noticed you’re a reader. I’m really enjoying Nancy Farmer’s The Sea of Trolls. I’ve been reading a lot of YA lately because it’s so plot driven!

Also out of district, but interested to hear the local take. There was Frey buzz when he told ICE to F off that all of us here were like, no, no, no, wait now! So I do like the inside line.

Barf. I hope the people of Maine have more sense.

I might do a little of both.

Any opinions about cooking my home corned beef with a little cider? - the alcohol kind? Lots of recipes suggest beer, but I have celiac.

Alas, I’m retired, but I’ll do childcare for anyone who wants to strike!

How is that possible? I lived through both the Halloween and the Thanksgiving storms as well as several storms taller than my younger brother as a child?!

I taught in a super wealthy, super white, former sundown town. I’m listening.

About 8/10 people who attempt to follow me are obvious silver fox bot/troll/romance scammers. 1/10 are weird young lady bot/troll/scammers. And then 1/10 are people I know, or people from my town, or people who appear to be real people.

And all I’m saying is, where are the silver fox dykes? Eh?

I stand willing to abandon Wisconsin cheese if Canada will annex Minnesota!

I have failed in my education of my son. He hasn’t watched a movie I’ve recommended since I brought him to War Horse as an elementary schooler. In my defense, it was poorly advertised.

Yo, I’m completely down for Minnesota to join Canada! Say the word and I’ll start a petition.

And I’ve got a pretty good baritone voice, when I’m sick. Good enough to sound like our well trained son.

“and he’s got a big knob!” Like you do.

And over the course of several confused minutes of conversation it became apparent that my husband thought my son sang, and my son doesn’t know who Colin Frissel is.

Keep in mind I have a fever, and I’m loopy.

I was teaching my husband my cornbread recipe, we were talking about butter knobs, and right as our son walked in the door I sang:

Whoo, I was editing for length and weird stuff happened. Anyway, you get my gist. (Text was overlapping and I couldn’t tell what was going to post.)

I think most stations have a few official SUVs for their inspectors, chief, etc. They take the big rigs for training and, frankly, relief from boredom. (Source, one of my best friends is a firefighter, as well as a former close colleague.) But I don’t think even the French fighter fires from vans.

It’s funny how things pile up and then something else makes you lose it. Apparently Canada is about to change its asylum laws, and relevant to my concerns, make you ineligible to apply for asylum if you cross by land not at a regular border crossing. So I’ve been crying so hard I got a bloody nose.

Not sure, I’m not an RVer either. But I am deeply curious about van life.

I think they sidelined him because he wasn’t slick and polished enough, behaviorally. He was excited to be on stage, he gesticulated too much, in short, I think he wasn’t performing masculinity the “right” way for them. Ironic, since I also think they picked him for his authenticity.
