Ukrainian people are so brave & good. The victory they have sacrificed so much to achieve will be theirs one day.

Until then, know that the world sees you. Decent people know you are heroes.

May this hero rest in heavenly peace.

Sending love & solidarity from Texas.

From the article: "I know that as a young person I have a duty to set a good example for others."

This racist pig really, truly sees himself as a young lad. As in: he's just kid...a fresh-faced baby... & here everyone's picking on him.

I looked him up & he's about to turn 27.

FAFO, l'il nugget!

A healthy weight is what you decide it is, and if you decide that you want to lose some weight...be sure to work with someone who respects you and your perspective on things. Also: you could try acupuncture.

His idea of a Mediterranean diet is different than mine but, as a woman of Mediterranean heritage who practices Chinese medicine, I definitely love the fusion.

"Motherhood, baseball, & apple pie" being coded as American is something to ponder, isn't it?

Enforced motherhood, with Roe v. Wade overturned, maybe. Baseball doesn't belong to this country. And apple pie? Eh. Taco Tuesday wants a word.

It's an icky (to put it kindly) way to code America I think.

Were they actually "prankster[s]" though, or was this deliberate but the traitors who waved those flags were told to act like they hadn't realized?

I'm not convinced that the people who get the ball rolling are "clueless." I think they know & then they get useful idiots to carry out their plan.

But he's not giving them up, is he? He's not able to use them any longer, but he's still Prince Andrew and nobody is taking that from him.

Based on what I've read, he's not giving up anything other than the right to use those titles.

Predictive text is annoying, isn't it?

And so glad to read that these therapies work for you. I think they are marvelous, but--as you saw from the blog post--when you've got things like MCAS or are really loose in the joints, you have to be a little careful at first to make sure it's ok for you.
