When I worked in family social work in TN, birth certificates were available at public health departments in every county. Born anywhere in TN? Birth certificates available at any county health dept. I donโ€™t know if thatโ€™s still true.

WTF?! I hope they DID target these sites. They are at war with an invading country. Why wouldnโ€™t they? Did Russia avoid Ukraineโ€™s governmental sites? Fuck no.

Cooked? Processed. Cheese? Processed. Bread of any kind? Processed. Homemade from scratch? Processed. There is an argument for overly processed foods, of course, but, unless you pluck something straight off a tree or kill it and eat it raw without preserving it, youโ€™re eating a processed food.

I so love autumn. Itโ€™s cooler here, too. Not a day over 89 F in the next 7 days!

I got my flu and Covid shots last month after RFK, Jrโ€™s threat of pulling them entirely, then allowing them for 65+. Because Iโ€™m not yet 60, I got mine before Sep 1 at the grocery store pharmacy.

I donโ€™t have fans, per se. I have folks who want to understand more about health disparities and surviving a zip line fall. Definitely 2 different crowds ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†

Registration adds property tax of at least 3.75%, based on how nice the car, ad valorem tax on Using the car based on neighborhood ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ, EVERY year. Republican lower taxes my ass.

The article repeats MTGโ€™s assertion that folks should drink it and avoid pharmaceuticals. So, why are they using pharmaceutical drugs and modern medicine to save their lives?

I read on the CDC website that this fallโ€™s flu shots were sent out starting in July. Thank goodness. No news on this fallโ€™s Covid. Thereโ€™s a new variant, so, we may need a road trip to Mexico or Canada.

Go, Calhoun County, Alabama! Are folks here coming out of the fog? Nah, but
people arenโ€™t as afraid to speak up, even in rural areas.

It was so fucking humid yesterday afternoon that condensation on the camera lens caused my cell phone to not recognize me, forcing me to remember my 6-digit login code.

Thatโ€™s it. Thatโ€™s my text.

Too late. Boo fucking hoo. You bought it, opened the package, and paraded around in it. You. Own. That. Shit.

Agree. This absolutely works. Donโ€™t sound like your family, PhD committee members, research study PIs, friends, etc. THEYโ€™RE not the ones sweating words, time, and energy to get a publication done.
