What did we do before Tylenoll, melatonin, glucosamine, occuvite, eye drops, albuterol and metformin? The suffering must have been profound.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

You can't use a defamation law profusely, then try to deny it for others after taking out full page ads.
Even if you are and especially if you are a president.
Not in a "free" country, anyway.

There is a different kind of being wasted. It is the feeling you get from being on call as a nurse during a full moon when you get to the age of 60.

I'm trying something new, using pots sold by a non-Trump supporting business in large flats with a highly rated grow light and a small USB fan on them during the day to keep the gnats off.
Have to keep up on the water but seems to be working well so far!

People are least likely to leave Islam and Hinduism.
Europe, U.S., and Canada are losing Christians in droves. Buddhism is losing also.
Authoritarian govts have less exodus, esp Muslims. He poses this is due to fear.

When you watch a show or movie, someone wrote that. Someone dreamed that up. Or AI dreamed that up.
It is only as good as the minds that wrote it. It is only as feeling as the feelings of who wrote it.
When you get to be 60, most of what is written gets old.

The sound of rain is soothing.
It has been a very long twelve days since my mother-in-law died
Working in between death and funeral and visiting with family and offspring.
Being a nurse.
Planting seeds.
Ignoring dishes.
Raspberry melatonin gummies,
And rain.

I don't get to see all of my children together very often. It has been a few years. I see each 1-2 times per year but rarely all together.

Imagine finding a holler in Ohio with coal, having rows of identical houses built up it, paying passage for Italian and German migrants to come over and mine coal.
Imagine they get stuck and live in the mine for months.
But that's South Africa and you could have saved them. But you built Teslas

I saw a great blue heron today when crossing a bridge over Wheeling Creek coming out of a holler in Crescent, Ohio today.
Barton, Crescent, and Maynard are all such similar creek valley towns that I sometimes forget which one I'm in. Belmont County Rd 10 connects all three.

Referrals from the hospital to home health get copied to 3 different places. There's this line:
"PT for gait, strengthening, endurnace, and home safety."
Coming up on my one year anniversary, and it has always said endurnace.
I mean, can someone not fix this? Put it in a furnace?
