I'm disappointed by all the empty lower level seats at the Fever game but hope it means that ticket prices will come back down to Earth next season. It looks like a lot of season ticket holders didn't opt in for the playoffs in the lower level. Balcony is packed.

The cool thing about health insurance, and mine is pretty much the best, is that they've paid for everything associated with my bilateral mastectomy and cancer care, except they're really unsure about the medical necessity of the surgery bill.

I don't normally love it when my husband works late, but it's convenient on days when I receive multiple packages, including 16lbs of artisanal pasta from Brooklyn, so that I can avoid unboxing commentary.

Who are the best #mastectomy scar coverage #tattoo artists in the US? I'm interested in perennial pollinator wildflowers of the Midwest surrounding both scars.

My shoulder has phalaenopsis, amborella, and magnolia and I'd like something complementary in style, but not matching. #breastcancer

Hey, friends who've dabbled in being a hoe in the past, who could've possibly thought this sign was a good idea?

Everyone should care about infrastructure spending and maintenance because hospitals having to tell people not to wash their hands just isn't great.

The water main break around 10:00 this morning still has a boil water order in place, and multiple hospitals are in the impacted area.

There's no planet in which I'd voluntarily give a DNA sample to the state police and it pains me to know that there are people out there who would.

I feel for those who have missing loved ones and got those who are unidentified but I do not trust a state DNA database.

I decided to sleep on the couch last night because I just couldn't get comfortable in bed (surgery, man) & it sent our poor Blizzard into a tizzy going back and forth between the couch with me and the bed with my husband 3x running up and down the stairs, trying to decide.

The senior quote for the new Fed Governor in our high school yearbook indicates to me that he *should* be bothered by the current state of due process.

I mean, we get hummingbird clearwing moths! Who wouldn't want a piece of this action?

Just look at my little monarch caterpillar! The springers are springing, the swallowtails are swallowing, and the bumblebees are bumbling!

Look at this tiny baby monarch caterpillar!

We do a produce CSA every summer. So far this season I've frozen +3lbs cauliflower,+3lbs green beans, +4lbs corn, & pickled some beets. I could probably freeze another ~2lbs corn this week. All on top of what we consumed. $602 for 14 weeks of produce. It's a great way to eat local, seasonal food.

The thing about having breast cancer is that your phone autocorrects "canner" to "cancer" which makes talking about your homemade blueberry jam a bit awkward.

It's wild seeing someone post this when you live in Indianapolis where people at Angie's List made outrageous salaries in sales for nearly 2 decades that the company didn't make a profit.

Businesses not being profitable is way more common than people realize.

What are the odds that the driver was sober when parking this vehicle, so new it still has temporary tags, at an angle in her yard with the side panel scraped up to high heaven?

Since April 22 I've seen my GP, rheumatologist, surgical oncologist, plastic surgeon, genetics counselor, and physical therapist in this health system, not to mention the diagnostic mammogram and biopsy conducted by the radiologist.

I think I'm good.

Cunningham just doesn't make sense to me.
