That kind of hematoma under the skin is not the thing that indicates an immediate crisis. Those of us on blood thinners know that an IV under the skin of a hand will produce it. The crisis is the buildup of fluid in the body that can show the kidneys shutting down. That’s not a good sign.

I had the same concern, too.

Absolutely. I wondered if any would know that’s where their pink coloring comes from as adults, after A LOT of shrimp eating!

Retweet if you receive this energy. πŸ” This August will be different.

Sadly, the headlines this week remind us that when money incentivizes issues of decency, decency flies out the window while the pockets of politicians are nestled with perks. Can it be that no one cares about right/wrong anymore?

Rabbit Rabbit- I believe it’s an old Celtic belief.

It was the June Rebellion of 1832 that Les Mis is based on- also a revolt against a king.

Actually, it’s not about the French Revolution (1781) but about a French Uprising in the early 19th century.

Still not the US. I wasn’t responding to β€œAmerica,” but the uniqueness of this being the first pope from the US.

Pope Leo is the first U.S.-,born pontiff. Argentina is not in the US, but is in the continent of South America.

Admittedly, I stole this post from The Dark Side, but it was worth it.

I’d like all of you to know that having Canadians as our neighbors has been comforting. Your best qualities are the ones we try to emulate, the ones our Constitution was crafted to encourage. I have an ap that lets me listen to police depts. and often I tune into Toronto to hear how nice they are.

Cheryl, we β€œregular” Americans really do deeply treasure all of you Canadians. We, however, are muzzled and misrepresented by a blowhard, grandstanding, so-called head of state who could not care less about us or how we are perceived.

I’m always amazed how terrified DJT is of knowledge, of people who have memorized proven facts that are the pins that deflate his lies, of entities of learning like NPR and PBS, who remind him what a razor-thin skim coat of culture he has.

Yes… the outlier numbers for Social Security are codes for incomplete data, not actual ages.

When I told my husband, who is a southerner, that Louisiana’s Surgeon General appears to be a veterinarian he said β€œwell actually, that’s a step up. Before this the criteria was a 5th grade education.”

I had a surprise this very cold February afternoon when an EasternTowhee came barreling onto my deck and landed on my feeder. He only stayed a couple of seconds before barreling off wherever birds that are totally never seen this time of year go to. Has anyone in New England seen one in Feb?

It has to do with the joke as an inmate of β€œnever doing things halfway.”

I know all too well the generation of Kennedys that were the entitled spawn that grew up after me on Cape Cod. We were members of the same Hyannis parish. My family is interred in their cemetery. RFK Jr’s lack of caring for others is no surprise. His brother paralyzed a girl for life- on Nantucket.

The Wolf Conservation Center is just 4 miles from my house…I brought one of the Ambassador wolves to the church I pastor. Such a wonderful afternoon with Atka.

I’m relieved it is fake. But then none of the usual ones are.

I’m always amazed how DJT can take us to even deeper levels of his narcissism. Like this statement of his.
