I’m a widower (my wife died after her second bout). I met a fellow widow and we are happily married. My roots are in Ashland Oregon where I’ve lived 50 years. My career was in special education.

What an insult to Americans. I’m sure he’s composing a letter to the American people right now.

I feel for you and your family. I was a special ed teacher who worked with autism spectrum middle and high school students. I can’t imagine how much harder it’s going to be to get services. Does your daughter sign? Or use a talking board (not sure of the term)?
My heart goes out to you all.

It tracks. Rich weirdo wants all internet traffic thru his “service”.

Thank you. It’s lost its soul.

Hey good luck on your journey. I dropped a bunch of weight and damn my skin sagged so bad. Do you for you.

They are wonderful dogs, I’ve had two, but they are big powerful scary looking dogs, so be prepared for people being scared.

That was awesome. I’m beaming!

I will root for them against the KCC team. It’s freeing to not care about either team. Just calculating the number of gummies required to get thru Brady.

We love our gummies

I think they are St John’s wort. We have a patch on our walk.

Taffeta, darling.

Just sadness for all the people who lost homes and businesses in LA. The rain here in Ashland seems mocking in retrospect. Be strong and look out for your friends and family. My heart is heavy for you all.

That is a distressing view and horrifyingly beautiful in a doomed kind way.

It made my heart happy. I think I smell flop sweat from da bears.

This one is going to be interesting. Given the emphasis on freedumb a bunch of people may get very ill or dead. It’s obviously mutated to airborne spread.

That was really great! Thanks for sharing. That was a great band.

Looking forward to learning more! Anthropology fascinates me.

Wow that’s showing a lot of fear. Our scared oligarchs with the boot licking police.

I think I’d be a sobbing mess in that movie. My wife and I both had our spouses die. That love is always there.

It almost looks like they are saving their own necks…

I read the book and I’m curious how different the Wicked musical is. It seems like the author got bored at the halfway point. Not curious enough to watch it though.

That is the same whisky I’ve got on my counter! It’s sooo good!
