Loving someone is when you’ve gotten to know them reasonably well enough to where you can actually feel love for them, it sort of happens naturally. Attachment is usually just because you like the way someone made you feel regardless if you know them well or not.

Just placed an order at my local deli for some Jewish penicillin, AKA matzo ball soup. I figure now that my appetite is coming back, it will help me regain my strength.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

To go back to French Polynesia, specifically Moorea. I went to Tahiti in 2007 and it was such a soul-nourishing experience.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Update: I got checked out, got an injection to immediately reduce the swelling from hives as well as got prescribed steroids for the next few days as well as something to help with the nausea.
I’m here, just still feeling sick. I’m really mad at my doctor for switching up medication without evaluating potential side effects. I broke out in hives on Saturday which still haven’t gone away and I’m still having nausea and weakness. If I miss Thanksgiving because of this I’m going to be livid.

Democrats making a hard left turn will assure Republican victories the likes of 1980 and 1984. What is AOC going to run on, sloganeering? She has ZERO bills passed while multiple other members of the Democratic class of 2018 have multiple bills signed into law.
One last thing: If AOC runs against Schumer, she will win.
Democrats need to make a hard left turn.
Mamdani has proven it is time.
The people of the United States are ready for politicians who will not just say they'lll fight for them, but will actually do so once elected.

So I’ve been feeling like crap all weekend. One of my doctors switched up a couple of my medications and I’ve been having awful side effects. My whole weekend was ruined.

Make America poor again. Make America hungry again. Make America sick again. Make America choose between heat and insulin again. Make America work three jobs again. Is this what anyone voted for?

Just stop it. She’s spent the last five years spewing hate all over the place. She’s not sorry at all, she’s just trying to rehab her image before moving on to the next grift. You’re so gullible.

The downside of all the recent rain is that the nettles are coming back. If you know me from the bird app, you’ll know that I’ve had a problem with nettles the last few rainy seasons.
