Political cultural effects are like 90% of the reason I support punishingly high taxes on the very wealthy.

I administered them first in an exhibit hall at our fairgrounds and then at a drive through clinic at our local race track. Best health care experience of my career. People were so happy.

I hate all of this, but especially the little "cute human interest story" grin.

Had to pick some blueberries from the garden to have enough for the recipe.

For a lot of people in rural areas, they effectively can't get care now. In my part of Oregon, OHP members already struggle to get care. I've had patients who need to see specialists who can't or won't travel out of the area to see them. Only getting worse, especially now.

I like that it's moving around to whatever store just closed last like some kind of commercial hermit crab.

Absolutely correct. Trump's toadies know tariffs are bad policy and that importers pay them. But he's dumb, has power, and they deny reality to stay in his good graces.

The next Democratic president should push so hard on all fronts that children feel obligated to denounce their parents at public rallies for having watched Fox News.

Because the real answer is to not kick people off and make them recertify all the time, you schmuck.

I'm 10 weeks in, still on 2.5, and down 30 pounds. My doctor bumped me to 5, but considered leaving me on 2.5. He likes to have patients plateau before increasing dosage.

Sadly, the part of the market that doesn't want plastic overlaps heavily with the part that doesn't want fluoride.

Salt or milk. When people say "Europe doesn't fluoridate their water" they're missing this. Fluoridated salt or milk is often available and is fairly popular.

Took my kids with me to see Superman. The movie hasn't started and they're all talking shit about Superman. Thinking about making them walk home.

I have been getting podcast ads to practice in British Columbia for months. Now I'm getting them for Saskatchewan.

I love when there's a clamshell of berries in the fridge when there happens to be a ripe crop of the same berry in our garden.

Yep. OR - Uzbekistan - PA - WA - KS - FL - WA - OR.

I hope my kids stay fairly close when they're older, but I really hope they live other things places along the way.

When I was in the Peace Corps, my mom bought ever Steinbeck book she could at a used book store and sent them to me. One of the best packages I received.

"But he got rid of the other genders and now there are just two" -- way too many Trump voters who are pissed off about everything else and finding ways to still stay in the club

many people are saying โ€œdonald trump has pardoned more pedophiles than any president in historyโ€ and todayโ€™s WSJ bombshell helps explain why

West Coast states have some huge problems. But they don't prevent this side from being Best Coast.
