When watching these contest shows, there is who you know is going to win, who you want to win, who you *think* should win, and the HUH?

Has anyone here watched The Abandons? It has 2 formidable women as leads, and a compelling concept. It is also made by Kurt Sutter, who created one of my fave shows, Sons of Anarchy. But he also created shows I Did Not Like. So I am way curious, but interested in others' impressions.

We received our medical insurance renewal approval a 1/2 hour ago. I was profoundly relieved, but it also took me about 20 minutes to stop shaking. That is what happens when fear & tension you have been carrying for weeks is suddenly released!
I am so happy, but also know it shouldn't be this way.

Now Elf & Idlee are sharing the chair. This is peak kitty cuteness!

It's been a rough few weeks, first dealing with infections, & then dealing with antibiotics which wipe me out. But I'm next to last day of meds, feeling better today. So we put together this chair I ordered awhile back. I sat on it for a minute, got up, then Elf made himself at home on it.

We gotta revive the ‘80s style family sitcom so we can have Very Special Episodes about sports gambling apps and letting AI talk you into eating a handgun and whatever else this evil ass culture is doing to kids. People my age still cut up plastic rings to save sea life, that shit 100% worked

I want to share a small, but hopeful story.
For awhile, I have wondered how, in this age of internet, fraud, and suspicion, how people meet for real. Now, I am not in the "market" to meet anyone, but I wondered for other folks.
Anyway, yesterday I had to go to the story for emergency mirepoix.

I am a little shocked at myself for thinking this, but I may well have already watched Auntie Mame enough for this season.

Thieves take €90,000 of snails meant for Michelin-starred restaurants

We don't generally celebrate Thanksgiving these days. I do make a meal with a tofurkey roast, but it's not a big thing. Usually I take care of folks' kitties, but none of my usual folks traveled this year.
Which was good b/c I was diagnosed with 2 (TWO!) infections yesterday & meds kicking me down.

We watched Freakier Friday this afternoon. It was pretty cute with the generational humor. More importantly, Manny Jacinto was in it and, next to D'Arcy Carden, is The Good Place actor I am most excited to see in other things!

DAMMIT! Trader Joe's discontinued their meatless turkey roast RIGHT BEFORE Thanksgiving! That is cruel! And thoughtless!
They said it was because it didn't sell well. Maybe perhaps others, like me, were waiting until closer to the day to buy it, due to limited freezer space. SO disappointed!

This, and also those "Ancestral DNA" analysis and tracking kits! DO NO WANT!
So-called "smart" devices are pushed heavily for the holidays, but be mindful of what you're opting that gift recipient into. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
Think Twice Before Giving Surveillance for the Holidays
With the holidays upon us, it's easy to default to giving the tech gifts that retailers tend to push on us this time of year: smart speakers, video doorbells, bluetooth trackers, fitness trackers,

Last night the 3 attending members of the Friday gaming group, which is currently a movie watching group, watched Keanu. It manages to be both utterly adorable and massively violent all at once, without anything bad happening to the little cat.

We took Io's old lady cat to the vet for her annual. She has lost a little weight, but seems in good health otherwise. But the cost for a senior blood panel is kind of staggering. Make that "appalling." So we declined it for now. But great googly moogly!

Thank you for the reminder!
I was pleased to see that all my "smart" features were turned off, as I had purposefully set them ages ago. But it is always good to review from time to time, as AI is sneaky.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Last night I had a dream that Stevie Nicks appeared to me and said many encouraging and affirming things. It felt very powerful!
Of course, this morning I can't remember any of them.
But it was still cool.
Now I have to get through the day. SF & rain.

The only AI I would even come close to trusting is Synergy, & even Jem saw how much potential for evil there was if she got into the wrong hands.
