Not now, I'm reading.
Good Friday seems like an appropriate day to give witness to John Barnett's sacrifices, trying to keep the flying public safe.

I am really annoyed that Kroger made 32 billion in profits last year and can't be bothered to donate $500 to our middle school PTO (even though it's the only grocery store in our town and is two blocks away from said middle school).

Watching Outlander, I'm like, I could never go back in time and sleep with James Fraser, my mind would be screaming THERE ARE NO ANTIBIOTICS HERE FOR THE UTI and now you know I'm the least romantic person on earth.
Happy Valentine's Day, all.

Just because rich people want everything the rest of us have to have less. Case in point: cars.

I never knew one of my most complex lifelong relationships would be with my neck. A thin pillow isn't right, a thick pillow isn't right, WHAT DO YOU WANT? I will do anything to not have to hit the ibuprofen the second I wake up. Just tell me.

Witness (1985) was on TV last night and might I just say I forgot that Harrison Ford was so, so pretty

I really, really loved my service job co-workers. It was like wartime, all of us just "doing it for the person next to us."

Here's what everyone asks about my mom's dementia: "Does she still know you?"
Actually, she does. And sometimes I think that's harder.

Anyone know any adventurous plumbers or nurses? My marriage needs a third and nothing's hotter than someone who might take a whack at any of my household or medical problems.

My spouse is like "I don't think Sandra Day O'Connor was the worst" and I'm like "I figure she was pretty bad," and here at The Progressive there is some proof for my side of the argument:

Every time I say “this is why we can’t have nice things” I need to remind myself that “this” is probably “private equity.”
A private equity firm recently bought overdrive, the company that manages the ebook rights for libraries, so you can imagine how that's going

I'm reading an old novel to try and regain some sense of youth, and then in this old novel the character referred to 9/11 like a long-ago event and that is it, there is no regaining any of my youth, it is GONE

Happy Giving Tuesday!
If you are looking to make any charitable gifts, might I suggest The Progressive magazine? I've written for them and can vouch for their fact-checking tenacity--rare in media these days. Thanks for considering!

I am very tired of the narrative sold to millennials that they shouldn't worry about money, "the biggest wealth transfer in history" is on its way. Probably not. aninjusticemag.com/there-will-b...
