Dear CareFirst - no matter how many postal mailings you send me, I am not adding one more app or connected device so I can share my biometric info with you through the internet. Stop the mailings. Please.

Feverishly working on this

I’m not saying #knitting 🧶 cured me, but yesterday I woke up feeling really awful, so I sat and knitted the whole day - started a scrappy sock, turned the heel and picked up the stitches for the foot. I feel like a new woman today. Coincidence?

Just a note, if you hit me with an uninvited salesy calendar appointment I WILL decline and report as spam.

Email (or text) etiquette. Reply with thanks if I’ve done you a favor. Do not reply with thanks if I’ve simply responded to a simple question.

…and while I’m ranting, why can’t it be Thanksgiving regardless of who’s at the table, friends or family?

Unreasonably annoyed with the mispronouncing of turmeric- first syllable is TUR, not TOO.

Don’t know how stopping immigration from the country where one shooter is from, or how sending more nat’l guard to DC, fixes this one incident. It’s almost like the exact pretext the administration needed. 🤔

Freeze. Add bourbon. Enjoy.

So the shooting was… a pretext.

Miss Piggy FTW

She fits!

I’m part of the last generation who can look at a pair of fast-fashion pants that are too long and say, I can fix that.

It’s pie day here! Pecan and pumpkin.

🧶 #knit #knitsky Good morning. This is your wake up call

It says a lot about our country that the FBI had no interest in interviewing Brett Kavanaugh but wants to talk to Mark Kelly.

Thankful for my Greek experience in college. We had to learn the Greek alphabet song and sang it over and over and over. Nearly 40 years later it’s the only way I can solve some crossword clues. 🤓

What is the trick to removing these absolute weapons without severing a digit or splashing soup all over the place? Really terrible design here.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences. It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files. So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:

FIVE YEARS is unheard of in the private sector. Like, sure, be strategic about when you “retire” - make sure you don’t lose a year of vesting over a few days or weeks - but dang, even 401k matching contributions may vest gradually over SIX years.

In a dream last night, I was able to touch my heels flat to the ground while doing downward dog. I’m nowhere close to that IRL. I was looking around for someone to show my new skill.

Live your life so you’re not the only living president and vice president not to be invited to a former vice president’s funeral

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.
