Longtime followers will be familiar with some of my health issues. At some point, I will share more. Unfortunately, I am back on (hopefully short term) opioids. I’m onhere less because I don’t trust what I might post. Just think of me when you’re looking at the destruction of the White House.

More math I hate. I started October with 4 prescriptions,
that took me years to achieve. I ended October with 15 prescriptions.

Math I love.

At least there is one less gigantic asshole in the world.

My city is pretty.

View out one of my windows that shows almost iridescent yellow maple leaves.

Question for the HiveMind™️

While I can successfully use pen and paper with my new bed rest protocols, I can’t use the computer for writing. Can anyone recommend a good voice to text tool for long form writing?

For me, add to that a life changing medical condition. But, these are things I recently enjoyed:

-kids over at mine just to hang and do homework
-Fargo season 5
-my maple tree is a beautiful gold
-Olga is doing okay
-discovered that I am still a medical freak show

I hate how math works.

I about lost it when I realized it came out in 1982, therefore listening to it today would be equivalent to listening to a song from 1939!! in 1982. In 1982 I listened to songs from "Waaay back" in the 60's.

He is gorgeous. And, because he was fixed after age 2 his face is like a black panther.

“Oh my! All my vents need a thorough inspection and they are dirty. Really dirty. Can you start with the a/c vent, because it’s getting hot in here.”

Solid advice. And, a good reminder to have them come clean all my vents.

(Why does that sound like a line from a porno?)

Thank you so much. I’ve survived this for 50 years (pelvic pain) and will get thru this new version.

I am now a single issue voter. Do they or don’t they support making the Commemoration of the Halloween Blizzard 1991 a state wide holiday. It is a day full of traditions, like making sure the shovels are waxed and the snowblower works. What other traditional ways you would celebrate the new holiday?

Thanks for the generous offer, but it looks like it was a false alarm from one of my hallway neighbors.

How in the world, literally, did I get dragged into this? Seriously love how rabbit holes develop onhere.

*suspect it’s part of a never ending conversation about food parcels, in my case it was a post about making cabbage rolls

The only other link with Italy would be the Black Death; Genghis catapulting pest-infected corpses over besieged Crimean city walls, after which the Venetian traders fled home, culling 2/3rd of EUR population, starting Enlightment; scarcity of labour & trust in faith gone.

New from me: Keith Ellison joins 38 other AGs asking Congress to ban intoxicating hemp products. Ellison's office said it doesn't want to shut down Minnesota's booming hemp-derived THC market, but a local lawyer said "This would kill our industry."
