To her exercise-resistant patient (OK, it's me), Doc says, "Get a weight vest. WEAR the weight vest!".

Patient tries her best to be compliant. Buys sort of boring-looking vest.

Now, Crispin's Crispian (the hubby) is referring to the patient as "ICE agent".

T'aint fair.

Kiss your ass goodbye.

Asking for a friend:

What college classes should a young person take to get a senior management job in this new "Grifter/Masked ICE agent" thing we've got going on?

I sincerely hope humans don't begin recycling 80s fads.

I looked sufficiently horrible in 80s getup the first time, I don't think I can handle a redo.

Still, wearing a dead fish on your head would have a certain comic cachet.

Remember the 80s song "Eyes without a face"?

I've been organizing our empty storage containers.

(Yeah, I know, but having empty storage containers makes me ☺️)

Anyhoo, I'm going to remake 2 versions of the 80s song:

1. Box w/o a lid
2. Lid w/o a box

Look for me at the 2026 Grammies.

When I go into the joint, I'll forget to bring my list of the 1000s of buttons, colors of thread, zippers, etc. that I already own so I can buy more before I'm released.

My husband will beg prosecutors to let me serve out my sentence in my sewing room instead.

It'll be scary & heartrending. #humor

Forget Alcatraz! Drumpf should reopen the Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City.

They have date nights, ghost tours, sleep-overs-in-the-Pen, concerts.

Also, Oh Ol' Sparky is still in residence.

It'd be so much fun the bad guys would be lining up to get in.

What could go wrong?

I remember the day, sometime around 2001, on which my millennial son, then a teenager, informed me that I had zero coolness factor.

I read an article that the Drumpf administration is going to ramp up spying in Greenland.

That's going to be about as easy as going undercover in a small Iowa farm town.

Everyone knows everyone in town, so undercover what?

This would be better than TV if the consequences weren't so dire.

Unrequested "What happened to Nazi Wives" vids R popping up in my UTube feed. 🤔

A guy speaking King's English narrates this one so it MUST be true!

Question: Currently, we have "Nazi wives", not all of whom are just spouses. Would it be polite to warn them that history repeats itself? 👎 #autocracy

A hopeful follow-up:

Lung spots on Xrays have disappeared. 😌 Labs show hypothyroidism & some type of intestinal dysfunction. Medically hard to treat (titrating drug dose/he hates the pills) but he is improving. Ups & downs but 🤞

Cautiously optimistic that Petey is sticking around. ❤️#dogsofbluesky
We learned what no pet owner wants: Petey has advanced lung cancer

We'll make him happy & comfortable for his remaining days with vet care, blankies, walks & rubs

Our vet placed Petey with us 6 y ago @ 4 yo

He's wonderful. We're lucky to share his life

Love you BuddieButt
