Thank you !

It looks amazing. I'd like to knit. I've tried a few times, but my tension is not reliable, and I don't know how to put the pieces of a garmet together nicely. Cabling is beyond me.

2 weeks! I'd call that fast!

Well done, Louise.
Sadly, he is the tip of a very troubling iceberg.

Inside the staff exodus and tanking morale that threaten Makary’s FDA FDA staff are struggling and missing deadlines, and the future consequences could be even more dire.

Exclusive: I spoke with 15 employees at the FDA to get a sense of how the agency is functioning since the April 1 layoffs. They described tanking morale and an intensifying staff exodus. Read more here:

Now, that's a well done zip in difficult fabric with a small, difficult to match pattern repeat. All I did today was pull out my machine to run it through all stitches so it doesn't seize up from lack of use :(

You may not be listed as a representative in his paperwork at the facility, something you might be able to have remedied?

I'm an Aussie & some of that glossary was news to me! Saos for a vanilla slice! 😊

Ditto, I have not had a single viral illness, not the slightest sniffle, for over 5 years. I wear a respirator in public indoor spaces & avoid outdoor crowds, or wear a respirator there too.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Horrifying. What was the researcher's response?

I am at loss to explain it. My GP wore a respirator until recently, now a surgical mask, but no other medical professional I have seen in the last couple of years, & that's a lot, has bothered. One used to put on a mask when I entered . But not last visit. Hand sanitiser everywhere.

Sad, isn't it...

Yes, out and about, nobody takes any notice of my respirator. At least they are polite enough not to comment. It was a DOCTOR last week who questioned it.

Go the other way, and I am very large compared to a subatomic
particle.

As always, thank you, Mike. Boosted today!

I had to take my wheel chair bound 98 year old mother out from her aged care facility to a local pharmacy to get a timely Covid and flu vaccine.

Thank goodness the Australian & Canadian people have seen through this rot ( at least for now....) & have acted accordingly in their recent elections.

DJT is bad at being bad, but some of his minions are not & will be ready to succeed him.

Thank you, An.
