Isn’t today Veteran’s Day? Where are the parade posts? And gratitude? NGL I didn’t even realize today was the day.

Thank you for your service military families (although I am not feeling it for National Guard thugs)

I think this wind prediction map is so cool! Watch the moving arrows on the weather map illustrating the changes in wind direction (moving from Canada & Northern USA across and down New York & NJ) between 9am and 3pm today (Monday) and 10amTuesday

If you or someone you know is sustained by SNAP - spend it or possibly lose it. What will happen in December? This is getting more frightening than anything I’ve experienced (and I am a “Duck & Cover” nuclear war threat kid who knows fear).

Buy non-perishables.

And if you have a freezer,

Need to know for those having Sunday dinner with GOP magats.
I'm gonna put this out there, because this seems to be the latest maga talking point.
Yes, there was a bill to continue SNAP funding.
Yes, Democrats voted against it - because republicans placed into the bill a NATIONWIDE ABORTION BAN!
The reason they did that?
So they could say shit like this.

Trying hard not to go back to sleep.

My worry muscle is overtired. Going back to sleep is an escape from everything.

I’ve been trying to figure out who I can apply to to replace my Medicare plus plan. I can’t. I’m so confused. 😵‍💫 Upset. Scared. Panicked. There ought to be a law against Insurance companies suddenly pulling an old lady’s insurance plan. I feel sick 🤢

Here’s a recipe #giftlink maybe a Thanksgiving side dish. For me, it would be a meal.

Plus. Even I could cook this (I do not cook). Look it over I think you’ll want to try this corny dish.

Still no $$$ in my SNAP account but I am ok because I only purchased what was on sale:

1 pint Hagen Das chocolate ice cream (calcium and satisfying)
2 jars peanut butter (protein)
2 bananas (potassium)
1 bag rice (carbs & iron)
and I still have a dozen assorted frozen dinners in my freezer.

This is the email I woke up to today… and I then spent all day trying to find an alternative. (IDK what my “unique circumstance” is. A NYC resident? Turning age 79 March 2026? (health insurance in Manhattan is massively expensive).

This is nuts 🌰 ☺️
fun fact: Halloween in the north of England used to be known as nut-crack night.

people would mark nuts with the names of lovers and place them around a fire.

nuts that sizzled, spat or jumped indicated romantic incompatibility. nuts that burned together suggested peaceful, happy partnerships.

Opinion:
Mandami is the 11th NYC Mayor in my lifetime thus far. And I will say this.

Thank GOD we are rid of Adams.

And being mayor here changes the candidate. Watch how quickly Mandami becomes political (and ages) in 4 years. Who has been my favorite mayor? John Lindsay. Most fun? Ed Koch

I never like Dick Cheney and now I don’t quite recall why (other than seeing that GOP party on the path to a racist White “Christian”America). Oh. And he actually ran things and not the Bush potus that whole admin was a horrible joke

He passed last night. I will zip my lip for his family’s sake.

Who needs proof that it isn’t actually Frump behind everything coming from the WH? The dull, bloated dancing fool who did & said NOTHING whilst campaigning PLAYED THE FOOL and we (not I) didn’t hit him hard enough on SM - it was all memes & jokes—no serious exposure before it was too late.

I just made a tea 🫖 mash because black tea is recommended for digestive discomfort and peppermint tea gets the highest recs for gastrointestinal issues both of which I’m experiencing due to diverticulitis. Added honey, of course. Tastes pretty nice. It pays to keep your stash of teas for emergencies
