Somewhere long ago that was lost. Especially when both spouses and their children all worked in factories for TWELVE hour days, six days a week.
Not massive assholes with worm-eaten brains.
Aha! I found episodes of #HistoryDetectives on YouTube, no commercials! Season 5 from 2007. I loved this series. People write in about their artifacts sometimes from relatives long gone and want to know if the thing is authentic and they hosts investigate. Loved this series! on #PBS originally.
Monsters
We all live in simple houses, track homes. Apartments. None of them have sprinklers.
I believe nothing this regime says. How does anyone know that they were a drug ship. Let's investigate
See. Don't give in early.
So many people need to go to jail.
She lays it on the line
Because we have to import most all the goods one would need, and with expensive tariffs on them, it's no dice.
That would let us move there.

Step up blue states.
Oh man. How come I didn't know about this?
#BookBubDeal for most of September. #99cents for #ebook, where Crispin Guest is called to Canterbury and encounters his old friend Geoffrey Chaucer. It's the Canterbury Tales...with murder! #medievalmystery #medievalnoir #booksky #readersky #medievallovers #knights #Chaucer #Canterbury #MartyrsTomb
Ice cream for brekkie. Lots of good diary.
Because it would be terrible to have the same thing over and over. Remember, ice cream is a choice
And nothing can be done until this regime is done
Duh
HE LIED TO CONGRESS. He should be in jail for it.
Asses
I'm sure the ACLU will be there any time now.
It's NEVER going to happen. Stop believing in ridiculous myths and live in the here and now, because that's all there is.
They won't get it in this regime.
So who gets punished? And are they leaving immediately? And if they don't, then what?
So-called Democrats. Not so much.
The only ones I require are Sling for TCM, Acorn, BritBox, and PBS. I also have Discovery for the Reno shows but if that goes up too high, I will cancel.
Oh won't sending your kids to school in Florida be fun? Between the diseases they'll share and the school shootings, who knows what any day may bring? Blue states may have to prohibit people from red states to enter.
Don't go near the pier.

Is, uh, this coat an obsession?
I've had my beautiful grey girl for two years now from the shelter. She's six and still experiences flashbacks of trauma, but she's a loving, sweet girl from the scared, traumatized creature she was when she came home with us.
So they're highly intelligent
A judge already ruled that he CAN do this.
Does he finally get it? That he's been played?
Yeah. Fun for kids.
An open letter to Gmail: Dear Nerds, why don't you have a single button that gets you back to the inbox after you've been scrolling through all the label files? Your attention to this matter is appreciated.
I think they're fun. Easy to catch and release.
Big N.O. on this.
NO. Double dog NO.
But this department of justice will do nothing. Better to wait for democracy to return.
Who are these people spending money on the "prayer changes things" billboards? When they can use all that money to REALLY change things.
They're still crappy in any country
I know. When one has a big fluffy tail, we like to use it.
Even though those are jobs that somebody already has.
Who's treating it as normal?
Our trauma shelter cat, five years old and kicked out of her house by terrible people, hid for three days until we located her and corralled her into one spot. I sat beside her hiding place and read her children's books so she could hear the calm sounds of my voice. Now she's our camping buddy.
Uh...what contractor on federal building grounds would EVER be allowed to throw contents of that building out the window without a security check as to what he is removing?
Still lying. No, my child didn't get 77 doses of any vaccine. This man needs to be taken away to the funny farm.
We'd still have a tide because of the sun, but the moon really (literally) pulls its weight.
I remember that day when my dad presented us kids with a Thesaurus. I had never heard of such a book, but it literally opened a door for me. I have it still...and use it. It's still way better than looking it up online. You get lost in the possibilities.
There's a little fly in my office annoying me, and it's like an adolescent that doesn't know how to conduct fly business yet.
January release DEVIL'S GAMBIT, my #King'sFoolTudorMystery #4, takes place New Year through February. I like writing about the cold because it's usually so hot here in SoCal. #booksky #readersky
He shouldn't get it either. This refusal to recognize that Israel is perpetrating a genocide is a non starter.
The Chlo...after I poked her on the shoulder.
Pizza, man. We well know what pizza is, but we still like it over and over again.
Not expand, but arrest the traitors on the court. We MUST get the corruption out. And they are corrupt, make no mistake about that.
It wasn't. Yes, let's get justice for these women, but we can only do so if we focus on keeping our democracy and voting a blue unmistakable wave midterm.
But it's so cool. I was into it for a while, building puppets, because my aunt was into it and was asked to work on some Muppet movies, but couldn't with small children at home. Check out Japanese puppetry. Very cool.
No, he won't. There's just so much more important right now. Like sustaining our democracy. FOCUS, people.
Lawsuits on the way.
Actually, it rained this morning making some of it easier, but I still can't bring out some food for the cupboard or they will melt.
Do any #library #librarians #ForeignLanguageTeachers have use for these? They are some of my Crispin Guest Medieval Noir novels #translated into #French (8), #Italian (13), #Polish (4), and #Russian (1) and I would be happy to send the lot for FREE to anyone who could use it. #booksky #librarysky
I'm trying to stock the trailer for our escape on Friday but the weather won't cooperate. It's too damned hot. Though it's trending down to high 80s as the week goes on. Better than 105 like yesterday. That's why we are escaping.
The cat: "I'll see you in Hell!"
Same thing
Looks like when the Jolly Green Giant gets a hold of some bad peas
Though the light bulb is harsher
So...what happens with this? Nothing again?
Dangerous to allow computers to "fix" one's writing. People can do it much better. I am sick of this sort of thing.
May your day today be as balanced.
My cat #Chloe is pretty mad because she must be locked away in our bedroom with a secret pass through to my office while we dogsit our son's dog: last Sunday until this Thursday. That is a lot of time to be stuck without her people, though I do hang with her as much as I can. And we sleep with her.
😂
ALL the old guard needs to go. It's a whole new day
Ahem...
It's not yet entirely fascism when the courts still work. This from an insider whom I cannot name.
My father-in-law used to run power plants for LA City. He always said, paraphrased, that the janitor is just as important as he was. After all, they both carry the same set of keys to the place.
When they are taken down the kids should serve a lot of time.
Jesus
Go, Dems, go!
Kids used to do it all the time. Why must we be helicopter parents.
Ah, man! I was gonna hitch a ride on a beluga
No, because when you live in a place where it seldom rains, you really love this kind of weather, thunder and lightning, dark clouds. We love it here in SoCal.
No
Why does bread baking smell so good? It's not an aroma I grew up with, yet it's there way back in our brains.
Important!
Meese
Until I met my husband's family I didn't know how you were supposed to do it. I learned a lot, and from MY family what NOT to do when raising our son. I still have trauma from my childhood that affects my life every day, but I've been married 40 years so far and ready for more. He's a winner 4 sure
Nate Silver is not a good predictor of things to come. He failed miserably when it counted.
Crap
When!
Sorry, Mark. This appears to be fake.
I like it
Oh man! I'd love to see this!
Amen
And it's always a dude
Quick, throw some noodles on it to put it out.
