I am an old woman
Named after my mother
My body is achin’ like a
Child that's grown old
I can’t open the aspirin
Goddamn child-proof cap.
This old body has broke down
A long time ago
Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Morning Ode to John Prine
Named after my mother
My body is achin’ like a
Child that's grown old
I can’t open the aspirin
Goddamn child-proof cap.

Only 2% of @wikipedia.org users support. I am one. As a professor in 2006, I hated it; thought my students would get wrong info. Instead, I found it a great starting point for them & me, plus *rigorously* corrected. Now it’s one of few places not skewed by misinformation. Low as $2.75 a month. Give!

I ordered a 3 step waterproof bamboo stool to use as my first shower chair.
Why are existing shower stools built in the miniature (and I’m only 4’10”) ?!?!?
Is my purchase pure genius or courting disaster????

Most military personnel serve honorably, but those involved in the Wounded Knee massacre did not. Honoring them and restoring Confederate names on bases suggests crimes against humanity are acceptable. These issues matter.

What are you? What makes you finally break down and cry ?
Nothing says MS, like waking up from an ice pick stabbing your ear from trigeminal nerve pain.
It is truly the only MS thing that makes me cry.

Some people can access assisted dying - those with thousand of pounds and the ability to travel overseas.
When MPs voted for the assisted dying Bill, that vote recognised that the current blanket ban in dangerous and unfair. Now the House of Lords must do the same.

If Republicans truly believed in the bill they just passed, they would have had everything put in place quickly - not have parts start after the mid-terms.
They know how bad parts of this bill are for their own supporters.
