Wonderful things may have happened yesterday, but an uncertain tomorrow makes them hard to recall.

If your politician says insurance premiums will not rise dramatically in January, ask them if they would resign immediately if they do.

I'm thinking I need a new look for the fall
The guy on the left interests me

That would be great for grocery shopping

Today's cleanup lesson learned:
The shiny parts of these antique reverse painted glass images are broken pieces of abalone shells taped to the glass.
Used for areas like the windows.

Social media platforms should give you the option to hide hashtags.

Most of the time I just want to read the post.

Rarely am I interested in the things a poster does to increase engagement.
