Tired of mowing under your picnic table? We removed 6” of sod, put down fabric, sand/gravel, then two rubber stall mats. Wish we’d done this 20 years ago!

Tomorrow
by David Budbill
Tomorrow
we are
bones and ash,
the roots of weeds
poking through
our skulls.
Today,
simple clothes,
empty mind,
full stomach,
alive, aware,
right here,
right now.
Drunk on music,
who needs wine?
Come on,
Sweetheart,
let’s go dancing
while we’ve
still got feet.

This is an important article as are many of the comments (esp the ‘Readers Picks’ comments from nurses, pharmacists and people’s lived experience). And it’s NOT just for oldsters. This info can help people avoid a whole lot of harm. I hope it is widely read. 💊

You'll see a lot of posts today about the Declaration of Independence but what we rarely discuss on the 4th of July is the 11 long years of war that followed the official statement of separation from a monarch's rule. 🧵

Let’s be very clear: even if you are not a Medicaid recipient, cuts to the program will impact you.
Without Medicaid funds, rural hospitals, maternity wards, and nursing homes will be shuttered.
Having private health insurance won’t do you much good when there’s nowhere to go.
