I've been noticing that pattern as well.

Aww, love it! My daughter had a Pumpkin sweatshirt made for me for Christmas. I agree, it's not *quite* the same as snuggling with the real thing, but it's pretty awesome nevertheless. 😸❤️

We had 4 teens in the house until just recently (the 19 year old got an apartment in December). Our grocery bill this past year was $26k. Yes, I am crying as I write that.

Noooo... 😞

This is exactly what I'm wishing for!

Here is a statement from Bernice King on Immigration. Save it and pass it around all over. Everyone needs to see this.

I stopped drinking years ago... I have one or two glasses of wine a year, tops. Typically at a celebration of some sort. The wine aisle at the grocery store was so very tempting today, though.

Growing up, my family had an orange tuxedo cat and a dark red golden retriever. They were the best of friends. Thank you for this... I needed to see some good in the world today.

I respectfully disagree on your take. I know you mean well, but anything beyond a few days is more than most people here can afford. You do realize that many in the US are not even guaranteed protected days off from work for illness?

But your Healthcare isn't tied to your workplace, the way it is here. If we lose our jobs, we lose everything.

Except that our country has made it so that if we don't go to work, we lose our jobs.... Which means we lose our homes, and our Healthcare. I have a daughter with type 1 diabetes. If I stop working, she doesn't get the medication that allows her to survive. Most of don't have that luxury.

I'm going to be sick. Wtaf... How is it possible that there's no way to stop this?!
