Facebook marketplace has free things.

At this house we keep it open- it has a nice window that i like and there’s a dog gate in the doorway. In the last house we kept it closed to keep the cats from peeing on the rug.

I really hate to see more death and destruction, except for that one, and a few is his buds.

He says he has the support of the people. He also says he’s been talking to the white House so there’s that.

The two iranians I’ve spoken with are hopeful. One woman told me that she begged her brother in tehran not to join the protests - he said he couldn’t stay inside when he heard the boots of his people in the street. When the shooting began, people opened their gates and garages to give them a place to hide.

It’s really heartbreaking how many they’ve lost.

Hopeful for them but not optimistic given the US’s history of ‘assisting’ with regime change.

Any thoughts on Pahlavi?

As an American, i support this plan.

Look that up in your Funk and Wagnalls!

I have a couple of friends who go to one of the UU churches in Dallas. I think maybe Roe came from it.

My son is a mechanic so it’s often chilly at work. He uses those rechargeable hand warmers in his shirt pockets.

Question for people who live in colder climates - why is it always so hot indoors? When I’ve been in new York, Chicago, Milwaukee, etc. in the winter it’s miserable inside. It’s 12 degrees outside and you step into a restaurant or shop where it feels like it’s 80 degrees. You’re immediately sweating because you have a jacket, gloves, etc. and you have to find someplace to put them.

Was good. I was working in a new field, learning good stuff, and beginning to get my finances cleaned up after 2 years in school.

Know anything about squid? I was wondering if they ever got a diagnosis.

So the good jam and flavored dates will be twice as expensive. Great …

Stock up now. There are places you can buy it by saying you may need it in the future. I think the expiration date is usually 4 years out.

We did wills and trusts for our moms before they passed (i fucked up my mom’s trust and had to probate) but we haven’t done our own yet. That’s our January plan.
