A person, not a bot. Mostly a lurker. Love cats, chocolate, single malt Scotch, beaches, homegrown tomatoes, and equal rights for everyone. NO DMS!
Being visually pleasing is important, yes, but even MORE important is making the reel informative, simple, and accessible (in all ways). I mostly need to know how to make a delicious dish in my humble, gadget-free kitchen without it taking over an hour.

Since RAPHAEL Cruz is sponsoring legislation to force people to go by their birthnames, everyone needs to start using HIS birthname of RAPHAEL instead of his preferred name of Ted.

Either they don't understand what their job is (READ THE FUCKING BILL!) or they're attempting to placate their constituents who are outraged at this bill. Either way, none of them should be in Congress.

Why don't you impress that message on your Democratic colleagues who seem to think appeasement is the path forward?

I used to have a manual drive car that had Reverse where 1st usually is, 1st was where 2nd usually is, and so on. I had to valet it once and when I got it back someone had drawn a schematic of the gears and written "LOOK before you drive!"

I live in California. I don't think $1.98/gallon gas is even possible here! Prices I've seen this week range from $4.65 to $5.89.

So let me get this right - Republicans are insisting that we have to go by the name on our birth certificates forever but they also think that they can rename a body of water that isn't owned by the USA and that has had its existing name for centuries? 😵💫

I wish you a successful surgery and speedy recovery! I don't know what your thoughts on CBD are but a friend of mine managed her pain after breaking her knee cap with Aleve and CBD.

I started following you not long after you rescued Britney. I admired your willingness to keep trying with her but I always figured that she was destined to stay at Happy Doggo forever. I am beyond thrilled that she now has her very own human to love her forever! She looks so happy! 🤩

Yes they were. A friend of mine told me that - especially when you think about the limited technology that they had back then. ♥️

Fun story - late in his career they were having trouble with a guidance system at Vandenburg AFB in California. They wanted my dad to fly out & help but he hated flying. So they came to Florida & worked with him there. AND he solved the problem in 2 weeks - something they had worked on for months!

He was absolutely the smartest man I've ever known. Very quiet and unassuming. His friends all got the "golden parachute" offer when they neared retirement but not him. They wanted to keep him around as long as possible. When he did finally retire, they still kept him on part time. I miss him.

I can't tell you how many of his coworkers came up to me and told me how much they respected my dad. One time he didn't think something was ready to be deployed & told his boss who said Tell the VP if you truly believe that. So he did! AND they delayed delivery based on what my dad said!

He worked for Honeywell in their Aerospace division. He was a field engineer but after having kids, he settled in Florida where I grew up. He worked on guidance systems for space missions and later for missiles. I was born in New Mexico near White Sands missile testing range.

Awesome! I don't think my dad ever had the honor of meeting John Glenn but he did work in the aerospace field as an electrical engineer. My dad worked on the Mercury mission & many others. My brother's middle name is Alan for Alan Shepard! I got to see a launch from Cape Canaveral when I was a kid.

Plus there are Dems like you - old folks shaking their canes and yelling "Get off my lawn you whippersnapper!" while refusing to step down and let an actual LEADER step forward. Retire. Now. Please.

Yes. Because there is something in it for them. They are all evil, self-centered, narcissistic assholes who don't give a damn about anyone or anything other than their own selfish interests.

I have quite a few friends & acquaintances who are on the autistic spectrum & they are ALL wonderful people. I'm so disgusted by the people currently in charge who say things like this & even more disgusted & angered by them actually acting on this kind of outdated, inaccurate, bigoted viewpoint. 🤬
