There was also some idiocy with her doctor about giving her too much morphine as that's a bad thing, and I got a bit in his face and said that when this is over she'll be dead, not addicted. Scrip written, caregiver ushered politely out of office.

I was caregiver to a friend with terminal cancer. She was in agonizing pain; the visiting nurse refused pain meds because she thought suffering was good. I threatened to hang her by her ankles outside the (14th Fl) window. Friend got a shot but her sister screamed at me (the nurse quit). No regrets.

Headline: "Bird flu causes CBP egg scramble at the US-Mexico border." Lede: "Many families have been having a tough time finding affordable eggs at the grocery store. Now, federal officials say they're intercepting a growing number of eggs at the border." Headline: "16 people caught smuggling eggs into Texas." And a photo of several cartons of eggs sitting on a kitchen countertop.

Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now.

So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof!

1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing.

2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.

An image from Amino. A dad with a mustache is telling his son it's time he learned about money while giving him a dollar bill. While the dad is telling Billy about something important, Billy goes to a vending machine to buy a new fountain pen.

Looks about right.

Saw the lime green, neon orange, and bright purple and had to knit something with it, so I made them into Halloween gloves.🙃

Honeycomb scarf knitting project, yarn is Nutiden.

One of my #knitting projects, a honeycomb scarf by Beth Walker-O'Brien, about a quarter of the way through. Picture is not that great, the yarn (Nutiden) is a bit lighter in color.

Agree, this was quite the read. Different in a lot of ways, the ending did leave me wanting more story.

The project to being my lost novel, KAMIKAZE L’AMOUR, back into print is doing well, but with 2 weeks to go, it could use some help to push it over the top. Please take a look at the project and consider backing it. Thanks!

My friend Phil's coffee company is absolutely sick, it tastes great (like really really good), 40x concentrate but no acid. I am not paid for this. Phil has faced headwinds due to the post-Elon algorithms/Google. He makes it all himself.

The Dali freighter that collided with the Key Bridge in Baltimore, piled high with shipping containers and labeled 984 feet (300 meters). Above the freighter flies the original Starship Enterprise from Star Trek, showing the scale between the two. The starship is labeled 947 feet (288 meters) and looks almost small and delicate by comparison to the massive freighter.

There was a version of this going around (unattributed, pls LMK) that had the wrong measurements and scale, but the image was so impactful I made my own corrected version. I think this really drives home the sheer massive, unstoppable scale of the freighter that hit the Key Bridge in Baltimore. 🖖

Hi all, DB here. Lovely sweater, that Noro really shines! RackerDad was being humorous and it fell a bit flat. He's been with me on many yarn adventures, and the response to him joining me has been mixed-from welcoming to frosty. So please keep in mind that we don't know the other's history. 🙂

Yeah, Clarkie. Fond memory of the '74 Cup and the 2 minute penalty to Orr with less than 3 minutes left in the game. Loved the call, but questionable as all get out.

Wow, haven't thought of the Turk in awhile. Ahem, he showed up in Philly playing for the WHA and wearing #16, and in Philly there is only one #16. 🙃
