Mine went to white supremacy, but yeah, basically it's the same mistake. I'm really happy to have been wrong!

If you don't know Jort's experience of being buttered, go to his pinned post and follow the link. It's hilarious, and is what I was referring to!

Buttering their paws when moving is a myth – it doesn't help them get adjusted, and just stresses them out:

"Water fasting" will definitely distract from appendix pain – and from everything else, including life itself.

No, you must never butter the cat! 😂

I have a large, firm swelling on my lower leg that my then-dermatologist said is lipodermatosclerosis. So I went to my then-PCP for treatment. He glanced down at it and said "I don't know anything about that" and changed the subject!

I found a new PCP after that who isn't afraid of research. 🤦‍♀️

Someone I know identified as a lesbian in college, but later realized she was actually bisexual. She was very fearful that word of her being bi would get out and alienate her close lesbian friends, who reject anyone who isn't a "pure" lesbian (my word, idk what their term is). Also very prejudiced.

That's what they all say ... just before disappearing through the time portal!

Poor kid – I hope he lived to grow up.

They're already doing that – FIFA made up a brand new FIFA Peace Prize just for him. He was so excited he didn't wait for them to award it to him by draping it around his neck – he grabbed it out of the box and immediately whipped it on over his head himself. 🤦‍♀️

And because they don't know what else to do with them. They can't bring them to the US, where it'll come out in court that they weren't a threat. They don't want to just send them home. Sending them to CECOT like they did with the survivors in October creates too much outrage. Just kill 'em *shrug*

I have PD therapy today and my other PT (for my kyphoscoliosis) on Friday, so I'll ask both therapists! They may have different insights.

Put a note in your calendar to send me a text Friday morning to remind me!

I normally ignore Google's AI response, but this one caught my eye and, surprisingly, is actually the most accurate and complete answer I found.

My first thought was the awkward position may likely cause painful joint or nerve issues later on.

I have PT this afternoon, I'll ask her your question!

"When there is a loss of satellite connectivity, the VTS interprets it as a potential theft attempt and immobilises the engine."

Maybe if they kept their satellites working the "sabotage" would stop? 😂

Or maybe if they'd quit bombing Ukraine, the Germans would help them fix it?

I can't remember offhand how many species I had as birding became more difficult and finally impossible because of my disabilities, but I know it wasn't 500 – congratulations!!

Hey, if a tan suit was good enough for Barack Obama, it's good enough for Javier!!

Although it was a bright sunny day, it felt very spooky. I'm really glad I saw it, because Centralia has been completely abandoned by now and is just woods, with almost no sign of the thriving town it used to be.

Good book recommendation if you're interested: Fire Underground by David DeKok
