I'm on Ko-fi for art and writing commissions, if anyone is interested. As always, no pressure to donate or purchase anything. #Kofi
Actually check with your doctor. Don't take internet advice from me. Just be cautious and mention you have POTS if they prescribe it.
FYI. If you have POTS do not take Methocarbomol. I learned that lesson the hard way when Urgent Care prescribed me Methocarbomol for my back. Been off of it for over a week & still dealing with a POTS flare. Only good thing is my PCP said it should completely settle within 3 weeks w/sodium & fluids.

If billionaires like Bezos and Musk paid their fair share in taxes, we could expand Social Security benefits and ensure the program's future for 75 years!

Not sure if any Trekkies can help w/this, but there's a TNG comic (maybe a series?) where they go to the mirror-verse & meet their counter parts. I've seen excerpts online, but can't find it anywhere in print or digital format? Does anyone know where I can find a digital or print version?

Put an address label on the back of things such as your phone or an eyeglasses case. If you ever lose it somewhere there is a better chance of you getting it back. And a lot of organizations when asking for donations often send out a sheet of address labels for free. So zero cost. #lifehack

Here's a fun exercise for you Trekkies. If I was a coffee (you can pick whatever drink you want), I'd be a Troi coffee with half and half (half Barclay and half Data). Who would you be?? You can do the same for Doctor Who or any series really.

Last day to submit any Marina Sirtis or Deanna Troi art, pictures, short written tributes (try to limit to 2-3 sentences), etc. I will include all of them in my "Troi Day Tribute Project". When you submit, let me know how you would like to be credited or if you would prefer to be anonymous. Thanks!

Final result. Winter vs summer. No tanning unless you count going out under the sun tanning. 😄 And this is from 3 beach days (one this past weekend).

In honor of Italian-American Heritage Month, I want to share something. My family came from Sicily. They faced discrimination both there & here. Because of their darker, olive skin they were seen as 'other'.

October on Long Island is where it can be a high of 80 degrees (Fahrenheit) and sunny one day and a high of 63 degree and rain the next day. I never know what to wear 😆
