Me too. Having injections for lower back pain. If they do it right, it hurts like hell for a few seconds.😬

Each stop on Eras was over twice as long as the typical concert; 3 hours 15 minutes instead of 90 min. Her devotion to the work was the ultimate "the show must go on." And her showmanship was simply extraordinary. (Oh, and of course...those songs of hers!!)

Y'all need to come to Paducah, KY, drive north on I-24 about five miles. Get off on the first Illinois exit to the real METROPOLIS (pop. 6000), where they have a Superman statue and a Superman Celebration in June. And you can buy weed so you can see him fly.😁

Pro tip: I carry a small squeegee in the car. In the morning after a rain or when it's humid, the windows are crystal clear in sixty seconds.

When you hit 70, hurting yourself BECOMES a basic chore.😁

Have to wonder if this Administration has thought it through. If this war could bring out Armageddon, as some idiotically believe...when jebus floats down from the sky, do they really think he'll take these cowardly, murdering pieces of sh*t with him?😂

I've taken a fellow bsky member's advice and have begun blocking anyone who does not allow my reply to their post. Don't have the cojones to listen to a counterpoint? Then I'm ignoring your point, whatever it might be.

He spent a fair time discussing his religion. Crockett spent much more time saying how she'd fight battles in the Senate. And...he was a state representative, she was a US Representative. Lots more relevant experience.

Makes for a lot of inexpensive breakfasts.

Haven't had CoW in years though I did like it. For a change of pace try cornmeal mush; "sunny morning". Mix cornmeal with cold water, then heat to boiling. Takes a little more time to cook. Pour leftovers into a greased loaf pan and refrigerate. Slice, roll in flour, and fry for breakfast tomorrow.

You can still get it on Amazon, around $4 a box in multiples. I personally preferred Ralston but that's Unobtainium.☹️

But I also saw the majority of the congregation outside of church. Quite different. So I have reasons for suspicions that just won't quit. Especially when it seems that all the "true Christians" simply aren't providing enough of a voice against the Chrisofascists to matter.☹️

He may indeed retain those religious views throughout his term. And he'd certainly be a better choice right now than whatever Repub he runs against. FWIW I was brought up in Christianity that espoused pacifism. Even strongly considered becoming a preacher.

Admittedly Talarico is more likely than Crockett to win in deep-red Texas. But with his religious views, I wonder/fear that he may end up doing a Fetterman and become a DINO.

It might be thought by some that this law would be useless, as fully-automatic weapons are illegal w/o the proper license. However, it would bring full awareness to the population that "THIS is not permitted, and you will be prosecuted!!"

Candidates who profess deep Christianity are not to be trusted. If he beats Jasmine Crockett in the primaries (FSM forbid) and is elected, I fully expect a Fetterman transition shortly thereafter.

Mariel Hemingway. My second-favorite celebrity crush of all time. (Mariette Hartley is my first; tall redheads do me.) If either one ever asks...yes, I'm available. I'll get the wife to understand.😘

Even the secondary bow, which was probably much brighter to the eye than to the camera. The reversal of colors in the 2ndary bow always blows my mind! Physics rules!!

Good news: broccoli and broccoli crowns are the same price in the local supermarket. At least I don't have to pay $2.99/lb for largely-useless stems.

Make it a law (FWIW I'm a 70-yr-old male): for the next 40 years ONLY women are eligible for elected and/or appointed offices -- federal, state, and/or local. Men have demonstrated quite clearly that they are far too irrational, too driven by money and power, to be entrusted with any office.

...so the org chairperson went to the bank, found that the account didn't exist, etc.

Now the question is: What is the best way to string the scammer along?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A new-to-me scam...a nearby animal shelter/humane society received a donation -- a check for $5000. Then the donor contacted the nonprofit org and said "it was only supposed to be $3000, could you send me a check for the $2000 difference?" Alarm bells. Check supposedly came from six states away...

Dear Mr. Hegseth, please crawl back into your Wild Turkey 101 bottle, and pull the cork in behind you.

He'd dismiss video & audio of world leaders (and his own followers) saying what they actually *think* of him, as fake news and AI-constructed misinformation. Delusional to the thousandth power...

By that logic, CEOs should be considered heroes, based on the effort and sacrifices they've gone through.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And let's not ignore the outrageous money paid in pro sports...AVERAGE salary for NFL players in 2025 was $840,000.
