I’m sorry. I hope that you can keep him/her comfortable and that the end is peaceful for you beloved cat.

Sadly, Alaska’s Sullivan is an idiot and a Trump sycophant. No hope.

Happy to help and I probably would just say β€œyes” if lab asks if I’m fasting as their usual is after midnight. Another option is to just pick up your lab order and do it another day if fasting tomorrow isn’t convenient. No real urgency for those annual labs

Yes, water fine before labs.

πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈif fasting after midnight is good for 0800 labs then 0800 fasting should be good for 1600 labs but still might annoy someone. Can you get your labs done in the morning?

β€œMeans was a promising student during her time at Stanford. Unfortunately, she failed to complete her residency, never became licensed and did not practice medicine. She’s become a grifter hawking pseudoscience and miracle cures for her own personal gain. She has no business being Surgeon General.”

I’m all about being eco-friendly: I bought my first (used) electric vehicle this week but now I have to buy plant based tissues too? (Reminds me of my grandma pointing out that Crisco was cholesterol-free. Not all labeling is useful!)

Anybody else worried that he may take Gorsuch’s 1,000,000% as a challenge?

Well, it’s an excellent vehicle for dip.

So annoying! Still remember reading Anne of Green Gables as a child and cover had her in a pink dress but the character says she can’t wear pink because of her red hair. It’s been 50 years, I should probably let go of this irritation….

I have not ONE good thing to say about Bondi but gender-based criticism like bitch and shrill and calling her by her first name only don’t strengthen anyone’s arguments against her. Rake her over the coals with the words you’d use for an evil, incompetent male.

β€œWe left with all of my children.” Does he want extra credit for not leaving any kids behind???

Yep. Advocating something that has been universally accepted as safe and effective since the 1960s hardly qualifies as bold leadership but here we are…
