William in Nevada *~🍀🌈~*

By the way, I just learned yesterday that a group of ferrets is called a "business!" Somehow, this delights me!

a black and white photo of a woman in a floral dress . Alt: A woman in a black and white video is fainting onto the floor.

I know you can't see it, but I'm hyperventilating in anticipation.

two men are standing next to each other with the caption these are people of the land Alt: From the movie Blazing Saddles: The Waco Kid is telling the Sheriff, "These are people of the land... The common clay of the new West. You know... morons."

Good grief! What utter morons!

worksheet to track all my boycotts." :::

"Pentagon (said) U.S. cost of the war was > $11.3 billion in just the first 6 days... the ultimate cost... is expected to be much higher." — NYT

$11.3 Billion = Annual salary for 156,879 Teachers, or Feeding 1,130,000 Families for a Year, or Preschool Ed for 3+ million kids.

...in just 6 days! 😢/😡

I have never heard that before! It is going to become one of my favorite sayings! 😅

😅

That would make everything so much easier! Googling, there seem to be a couple groups in my area. Wonder if there are people my age participating (60s.) 🐲👨‍🦳

One Google result was a local bar that advertises special D&D nights, but it stands for "Dungeons & Deviants"... probably not my cup of tea. 🫖

Used to have family in Chicago — I get it!

My impression is, with climate change, the old saying in Nevada is now just about true everywhere: "If you don't like the weather, wait an hour." 🕛...... ☀️🌀🌧️☃️🏖️ ......🕑

Were Statler Brothers ever a thing in the UK? (60s–90s) Popular Country & Western in US. Had a song called "Class of '57." One line I always think about at such times goes like this...

"𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥
𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵 18,
𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘧 '57 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮." 😢

Ooh! Available from Google Play store!

That is hard. My one ex from a long-term gay relationship had lovely parents, especially his mom. Our relationship ended badly, but I would mourn both of them. Him... eh... I'd manage to get over it.

Speaking German, I can always detect Dutch because it sounds like German, and I can understand much of it, but every few words it sounds like a Nordic cussword or two are thrown into the mix.

The perfectly balanced tuxedo loaf! 🤵

* knees that work!

I loved D&D when I was in high school, but once I got to the university, I was working three jobs to get through and didn't have time. I'll bet instead of all those books and reference tables we used there are apps for that now?

Oh, dear! 🫢

They post mine too after biannual blood tests (Tomorrow!)🩸 I know A1C (⬆️⬇️⬆️⬇️⬆️⬇️), beyond that I kind of just go, "Huh," and wait for my doctor to tell me if I should worry (Next week!) 👩🏻‍⚕️

1. Sunshine 😎
2. The lower mellow notes on a cello 🎻
3. Walking... just simply taking a walk (Which I can now do again!) 🚶

Oooh! D&D I know! 🐉

Wow! Three weeks ago I was shoveling snow.☃️ Today, I drove to my cello lesson wearing only jeans and a t-shirt with the window down. Just came back from my SLWFMSMH,* and changed into shorts to do chores because it was so warm. 63° F. (≈17° C.) 🌞

That's the really sick part to me. War is bad, but Trump doesn't even need a reason.

Um... TTRPG?

A close-up of Golden Tabby. Lovely golden eyes with regular tabby markings, but a golden fur undercoat.

Excellent news! Put out the word among the outside clowder to ask Golden Tabby to check in. He appeared this morning and is fine! I explained I was not mad, just didn't want him injured. I said I still had to try and trap him again next week. He gave me love eyes. A truly worthy opponent!

Oh, that's good. I had not thought about what I would do in a longer piece of writing like a book with chapters. I have tucked this away in my writing toolkit.

Oh, no! All we need is a mini-Trump catering to his whims and racism!

Just got drilled out of me during my Masters. Completely appropriate for reported speech, of course.

Pet peeve is using abbreviations assuming since the writer knows it, everyone will. My rule is I spell it out with the abbreviation following in parentheses, and then I can use the abbreviation.

So excited!

Absolutely! Give them treats and get them absolutely sh*#faced on catnip and send them home!

The resemblance is uncanny. My daughters have said no grandkids, but I have been promised grandcats.
