Thank you for posting this. I had no idea that the burn bans only impacted some cities.

It made me really wonder just how awful the downstairs author’s book on Maggie Thatcher must’ve been.

For years my rule was if I didn’t like it at 50 pages, I would jump to the end. If the ending seemed predictable, I didn’t read any further. But, if it was a surprise how it ended up there, I might give it another 20 to 30 pages. It almost always worked out that I finished the book.

June update: this place tried to kill me. #SepsisKills

My SO’s name is the same as a famous singer. Even young people who have never heard his music joke about it. I’ve never experienced anyone joking about it that seemed to have a clue how cringey it is.

Then in the water: ripples, eddys, the current, shallow spots. And a truck speeding away from the scene, almost undetected. 2/2

Bah! Not a mediocre photo. 3 splashes of color disturbing the monochromatic grey skies, offsetting the textures captured: the wispy clouds, the storm clouds building, the overcast blanket.

I came to your feed tonight just to look at your sunrise photos. The story made me smile too. I hope the worst part of your day was as minor as not having caffeine beforehand.

One of many….

The babies were in the chips, pulling items off the shelves into carts. I bought bananas and paid no heed to the price. Who killed the pork chops? I think the brisket looked suspicious.

I have an important meeting at 10…. The kind you pay somebody by the hour and it seems like it’ll take months to pay off. I should have gone to law school! LOL.

I like your name for that place. I had never tried it until October under evacuation distress w no other options. Tho many other reasons exist,
I could not frequent because what business plan is it to sell only one size of smallest cup of coffee anywhere in US?

Oh thank you. Sorry I’m just seeing this now. Life has been a bit chaotic the last few weeks so not likely I could have participated.

The Prosecco was weird, but maybe I’ll try another French 75 with the Empires indigo gin. Good to see you here. Hope you are doing well.

Tell me I’m wrong …

We need to support them, not dismantle them.

For 5 years I took my former FIL to his appointments at the VA. To a person I have never interacted with more involved, more caring, more dedicated medical personnel than I did at Roudebush VA (in Indpls), all who were apologetic about the bureaucracy of their organization.

Hi Jane! Miss participating in ModPo. Hope you are doing well.

You’ll recall I showed up to lunch wearing a coat suited for a blizzard…in FL so you can guess my personal decision. I applaud the her body/her choice micro decision but am perplexed that it was even a question. (Since I was a solitary parent, I don’t understand nuances of co-parenting dynamics.)
