You get used to it or grew up around it. Has a plumber fix the faucet. Open carrying. Does he think 110# me is gonna kill him? Picked up an ice maker in BFE Michigan a few weeks ago. Seller had a revolver on his hip. These guys put on a gun every time they put on pants. I dont acknowledge it.

Husband had a charter ask how often he sees rafts with immigrants. I know you can get so off shore you forget you’re on Lake Michigan but like where are these immigrants coming from, Canada?!

Happy Birthday to Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson. Thick as a brick.

Brutal…ist

Guess this proves they’re all lizard people. t.co/vCYWlHgUjc

I’ve randomly found 3 set screws in different parts of the house and all different sizes in one week. I’ve never found one randomly before. Now I expect 3 door handles to magically fall off!

I know CNN likes to fake on site stories and this interview with the guy sailing around the world is super fake looking. Actually this guy’s whole deal seems fake.

@mondairejones.bsky.social thanks for saying out loud everything I thought about the Pence interview. Nicely done!

I picked these bc I thought vape flavors. But yea, gum works too.

Catching the Neil Young movie

The key to selling something online is to go out of town. Every time. Item will be there a year and then bam! Sorry, bud, have to wait until I’m back for me to send.

Never will get people on FaceTime at 6 am loud in a public place. I find a quiet spot in airport and this is where this lady pulls up to FT with her grandkid that can’t even talk yet. Is this necessary? No wonder people can’t unlatch.

Is the Bill Maher thing a Trump PR tour thing? I had an old boss who reminded me of Trump. I used to say so. She would say wacky stuff in front of the company, was a damn idiot - but you know what? She was a nice person in small groups or alone, but she was still a rich idiot.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

My succulent collection keeps growing.

Fingers cross third therapist is a charm. First one gave me procrastination vibes. Second replied and gave a time and then never replied when I picked it and asked need any info from me?

Filled out a bracket last night and no idea who I chose. Meant to take a pic 🤷‍♀️

Was going to get Tina Fey, Amy Pohler tickets for a friend as a gift and by the time I got on they’re mostly resale already. The standards are $125 for the worst seats. Guess I’ll hang tight and buy day of for cheaper bc the scalpers won’t be able to offload in this economy.

The sun is OUT. Always a win in the Midwest in winter. Industry acquaintance in Traverse City said they’ve had zero days. We’ve had a few a week. It makes a difference.

Whether it’s Ronald Reagan conspiring with Iranian Ayatollahs to delay the hostage release until after Carter’s defeat or Donald Trump conspiring with Netanyahu to delay a ceasefire agreement until after Biden’s defeat, Republican presidential candidates….

2024 is almost over, and so is the sale on my ebooks! 📚 If you’ve been meaning to download any of my books for just $1.99, you’ve got the end of the day Tuesday. books2read.com/MelanieHooye...

The next two dinner plates go grab happen to be the perfect colors for today.

Husband wakes up. Immediately puts on the news and turns off the Christmas tree. Christmas is his favorite holiday but his depression is now to a breaking point.

Happy Festivus everyone. Always amazed this crazy episode birthed a real celebration that seems to be enjoyed by so many around the world. So may your feats be strong and your grievances few. Enjoy.

News is on and all morning they’ve been talking about us taking over the Panama Canal and Greenland. Why do they cover these make believe tales let alone at length???

@joshualistening.bsky.social hi there! I just learned I’m getting a little work bonus. Is your interview course still active? I would like to do it if so, please send along a link. Thank you! 🙏

Bummed about Big Lots. Much like Aldi from childhood I avoided it bc of what it was. But it’s actually a great store. Now that Ollie’s? That’s a shitshow that is what Big Lots used to be.

In FLA and looking for a coffee shop and it’s all kava bars. WTH is this? Is this what happens when cannabis is not legal?!

One day I’ll remember to bring change to tip housekeeping. I can’t believe no front desks have any cash on hand. I use an ATM and get a $20. I hate to tip $20 for one night but there are the people who need it so sometimes I do. But the desk can’t carry $1s and $5s up for $300 a day?

This is what I’ve long thought. But I also don’t leave twitter bc there is still good content there among the chaos and I don’t have the energy to find everyone here yet.

It’s my birthday but I’ve turned it off on FB bc I hate the responsibility of telling everyone every single day. But it’s been oddly quiet. Will be interesting to see who remembers.

I called it. No holiday train for me. Tho I could get bfast and come back bc work is flexible but I’m over it. The holiday train killed my Christmas spirit.

Waiting for the holiday train is a sunk cost fallacy. Was supposed to be 437. I came out when it was supposed to be 525. Now they are saying 630. Do I want to stand in the cold until then? And then it is going to be daylight.

2014: the movie Idiocracy is basically a documentary 2024: the movie Idiocracy is a beautiful and aspirational look at a future brighter than our own. a tantalizing glimpse into a better world that has already slipped from our fingertips.

Tesla Cybertrucks are being mistaken for trash dumpsters by raccoons, and they’re getting thrashed as a result. Honest mistake. 🤣

LOVE AFTER LOVE by Derek Walcott The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror, and each will smile at the other’s welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self.
