Little old lady who whines about a lot of stuff. Misses her husband a lot. Raving radical.
Turns out I probably won’t need cataract surgery for a few years. Yippee!

This. I’ve seen random men disparaging women on social media who are experts in their fields. Often the men don’t even bother to check the bio, and make fools of themselves.

A shocking number of plants I bought two years ago and never got round to planting have survived. It makes me wonder who or what is protecting me. But I was too embarrassed to ask for help planting them.

Years ago, we were in Canada, sitting in a local park before a concert. A kid walked over to my husband and asked for help with his skate. My husband fixed and the kid thanked and went back to his friends. Here we just do “stranger danger.”

Firefighters really don’t like single-stair. I’m agnostic on this, but would be concerned that developers wouldn’t do a good job of mitigation (sprinklers, smoke containment etc.), which would be a fire hazard.

There are reports of US/Israeli strikes on or near the homes of former Iranian pres, Ahmadinejad, former reformist presidential candidate, Mir Hossein Mousavi, and various leftist activists. If the US/Israel really wanted the “people” to take back the country, they wouldn’t assassinate these folks

The problem is that federal projects often override any local rules. Health/safety considerations probably would have more sway. But use every tool in the toolbox. And the organizing stuff too.
