Just finished Virginia Evans’s The Correspondent and it is magnificent. Highly recommend.

In addition, the same guy building that for himself is the same one who told you to tighten your belts and tell your kids to expect less (two dolls) for Christmas.

My sister is 84, cannot walk without assistance, has an illness that gives her constant diarrhea. She is covered by Medicaid at the nursing home we finally found for her and content there. Please advise who is looking to hire and provide housing and she’ll fill out an application quick!

Maybe we should start calling it β€œAlligator Auschwitz” but I would not want to demean the memory of Holocaust victims that way.

Full tummy, three curated toys, and a sun puddle. We should all be so content.

Just a stellar spring day - finally - here in WNY and my kitty is hiding in the back yard enjoying it.

It’s not just recent. I stopped traveling through Newark several years ago because I couldn’t count on a smooth connection.

Definitely offensive. His twisted fantasy.

I have much the same expression when being weighed in my doctor’s office.

They are. This is from a Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord’s Supper a few years ago when he washed the feet of female inmates in Rome.

If he wants to cosplay as Pope, let him see if he can create himself in this image.

This is just obscene. MAGA spends so much time kicking up sand about protecting children, yet they gleefully send toddlers to court alone. Awful.

I kind of wish they’d all go, all dressed in black like they’re attending a funeral, and all sit together. Let him look out and see this big black hole in front of him.

Here’s a timeline cleanser for you. A carpet of daffodils on St. David’s Day in beautiful Wales.

I had measles in 1959 when I was 8. I can confidently say it was the sickest I’ve ever been before or since, and I’m an old lady now. I survived but I wouldn’t wish that illness on anyone, especially a helpless child.

Here is what is breaking my heart.
A new Axis of Evil is being formed in front of our faces and it looks like it is Russia, China, and the United States.
I hate - HATE - us being the bad guys.
But that’s how the world sees us now.

Taking bets on whether this giant icicle will extend itself from my roof to the ground. It did lengthen by a foot over last night.

Former air traffic controller here. It is a fact that, when your scope starts to fail while you’re working 32 flights at once in the departure rush out of Atlanta, it’s a good thing to have a tech right there to fix or replace it. Those are the people they’re discarding.
