Just like this.
Every damn day.
No I will not be sending you any money.
#Fundraising doesn't work when you spam me with asks every single day, multiple times.

All you do is make me angry.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

She is very traditional. She is wearing her regional bunad, which is her outfit. She carries her veske (small purse) attached to the belt at her waist. She is unmarried, wearing a cap rather than a crown. She is adorned with sølje, the silver jewelry on a chain around her neck. I have one too.

I think the closest I’m going to get is my Norwegian Barbie. But there might be some Viking type Legos out there, I guess that would do.

I am pragmatic but also have a good memory.

So, I'm happy to accept MAGA Rep. Massie's help, for now.

But never forget who he is. He just told you; he votes with his party 91% of the time. And the below is his take on Christmas.

This is our beautiful boy, Torry. This photo was taken in June, just after he turned six. By early, October, his pancreas had shut down and we could’ve dealt with that, but then his liver went. We miss him dreadfully. We wish he were here too.

My uncle was as well.

He never talked about it. A few years ago I was researching on Ancestry, and there I found the paperwork sending him home from Guam at the war’s end. I never knew until then where he’d served.

At the library just now, to pick up a book and drop off some coats to be donated.

You can’t tell from this picture, but the entire front walk of our library has flags like the one in the picture.

I love my village.

My son just voted straight blue in #Texas.

If your state has elections today, please remember to #Vote!

Mousey sits in the Buddha‘s lap on our dresser, with one tiny lock of Torry’s hair on top of his head.

It’s definitely big stupid. Living next-door to somebody who speaks a a different language is the very definition of living in or near a melting pot city like Chicago. Languages and cultures make us all richer.

I know this is not Costco’s fault in any way shape or form, but yikes!

(And no, I didn’t buy any.)

We recently went through similar with our beloved boy Torry. Not cancer, but organ failure. I’m so sorry for you and Bliss. 💔

This was our beautiful boy.

I've done a deep genealogical dive on documentation/paperwork for my closest relatives.

I have the paperwork for my very young uncle (Navy, 1944-46) returning via ship from Guam as WWII wound down. He then went to U of IL and became a nuclear chemist.

I'd like to do the same as you would.

The most famous shoe throwing incident I can remember was Khrushchev in 1960. Make your croc famous!

This is so ironic. Trump and the GOP are the extortionists.

My heart is with you. Last week we had to help our brilliant 6 1/2 year old boy over the bridge due to liver failure. We will always remember and miss them. 💔

Apparently I don't understand how "blockenheimer" works.

Whatever that is.
