My mom did too. She had us first in line to get the sugar cube with the vaccine. I never worried about it either.
74-year-old national champion powerlifter. Otherwise, just an old boomer.

I think the President just wanted a stiffie. (Assuming at his age and poor health that’s even possible.)

And it’s utterly non-partisan—nowhere on the form does the person registering indicate any party affiliation. This is just bonkers and stupid.
Kate Evert (@kateevert.bsky.social) reply parent
As a league member, I’ve done this. Not only is the naturalization ceremony incredibly moving, but after to have these new citizens eagerly registering as voters is very, very satisfying.

Why oh why can’t his staff find makeup that matches the color of his hand?

Tl;dr, but just to say that opening the windows and using a fan is a great idea when the weather allows—until through the window, the birds welcoming the day wake you up at 4:30 am. Not so great then.

Which makes it even funnier.

When I got my drivers license a million years ago we had to parallel park as part of the test. When my kids got theirs, that was no longer the case, so I made them do it for me before I would give them the car keys.

Wouldn’t entirely surprise me.

Why aren’t we being thanked for our attention to this matter?

Lol, I woke up this morning after enjoying all of it last night, and my first thought was “well, can’t wait to check the news!” This has been a lot of fun, even if it’s just wishful thinking.

No one has seen him for two days and he has nothing, not even golf, scheduled for the whole weekend. It’s just for funzies.

All anyone has to do is shake someone’s hand and notice that their hand touches no part of the top of the other person’s hand. Anatomically ridiculous.

I try never to use the f word in writing, but Jesus fucking Christ. Can someone, anyone, give me a logical explanation for this? Other than, you know, own the libs?

Mine was in my front yard right after he asked me to go to senior prom.

Not to mention the crappy “down home in the country” junk they make you walk through to get to the restaurant. No dis on country folk. Cracker Barrel’s take is a cheap, Disney-fied version of what country is.
Kate Evert (@kateevert.bsky.social) reply parent
If you like food that is so over-salted as to be essentially inedible then Cracker Barrel will be your jam.
Kate Evert (@kateevert.bsky.social) reply parent
I don’t understand how shaking hands (even a lot of them) leads to bruising on the top of the hand. I suppose if a thousand thumbs have pressed there?? You’d think they could come up with a more logical fiction. Or you know, just tell the truth.
Kate Evert (@kateevert.bsky.social) reply parent
If I were is mother at this point I would raise my eyebrow and say “are you happy now?” Adults cos-playing children are the worst.

I’ve been a Democrat since the first time I could vote at age 22 on 1972 (back then you had to be 21.) Now is the first time I’m actually embarrassed about it. Why can’t our national leaders communicate like actual people? WHY??? Make it make sense.

Yep, he’s pathetic. In a creepy, ugly kind of way. I’m with you!

This may be true, but it doesn’t explain the narcissism that causes him to feel he needs to cover it up with bad concealer.

I also took up competitive powerlifting at 70 so I’m pretty strong and probably won’t fall, but a one-story house was still the correct thing to do.

I moved to a ranch style house at 68 for this exact reason. My grandmother was 99 when she fell down the stairs and died a few days later.

Kate Evert (@kateevert.bsky.social) reply parent
If that’s true, you would think they’d have released the files months ago. There likely ARE democrats/progressives on the list, but there must also be one SOMEONE on there who needs to be shielded. The Trump administration should release the files and prove Vance’s statement.

I honestly thought no one could be more detestable than Trump, but I may need to rethink that.

Omg, same! My dad never touched me (Mom did the physical discipline, which thankfully wasn’t often), but MAN, when he expressed disappointment! Ugh, dagger to the heart!

I got “the belt” twice (both as punishments for things I did that I knew not to do) at age 8 or 9. I’m 75 and I can still remember how scared I was. Not the pain—just the fear.

My daughter (a millennial) is a 911 dispatcher and needs to listen to a phone call, type what the caller is saying, AND talk to whatever services she’s deploying *at the same time.* She monitors four screens of data too. This poor old boomer can only bow down. I’m lucky I can walk and chew gum.

What is it with all these MAGAs that they can’t/won’t read a calendar? You would think that an elected person would grok that although elections (mostly) are held in even years, people thus elected start serving in odd years. Lord have mercy.

You might try “Just One Damn Thing After Another,” by Jodi Taylor. It’s the first book in her “Chronicles of St. Mary’s” series. It’s about a group of British historians who study historical events in contemporary time (don’t call it time travel!). Hilarious; truly I’ve laughed out loud a lot.
