I just achieved a new best score on a Scrabble game: 510 (set to Hard, playing against a computer. I cheat by using an app bc the computer IS an app, so it levels the field a bit. But still…three bingos is unusual!)

How many of us have had that conversation… telling someone that they have a disease that will progressively cause cognitive decline? Or loss of mobility?
The fear and sadness this provokes?
That’s why I’m gentle with “the masses” wrt C19.

💯♥️😷🤗 Doctors take an oath to DO NO HARM. They must protect patients. But many of them dropped masks years ago. I wrote a song "Minimizer" about it

First came across Biscoff biscuits in June--they were in a B&B we stayed at in Scotland. Loved them so much we bought some in a grocery store to bring back with us--having NO IDEA that they're common here. I don't go a day without seeing a reference to them somewhere. How did I miss them before??

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

$65B (billion) of healthcare funding in Ontario has gone missing.
Over five years, at least.
The Auditor General has no idea where it went, so it wasn't audited.
Oh, you didn't know?
That's #CdnMediaColludes doing a good job.

This one's for everyone who's spent years being attacked for pointing out the mistakes, negligence and conflicts of interest that let COVID run wild and wasted an enormous number of lives.
The bad guys may have connections, and be protected by their friends...but that doesn't last forever.

We changed our website provider. Predictably, our Google ad wasn't happy during the switch over, and warned us that the ad was "DISALLOWED"
The reasons:
"Destination not working, Abortion, Birth Control."
We don't mention either of those, so it appears the GOP platform is just a default now.
