For me there was something extra satisfying about pulling that big level and hearing the noise as all of the little levers went back into place. I miss that.

True. As disgusting as the sentiment is, I can't help but think of a line from an old English novel: He's so unpleasant that it would be quite a misfortune to be liked by him.

So I'm set to go back to work on Wednesday. I haven't even gone back, and am already being asked to take extra shifts. Good to see that some things never change. 😉

Dumb groundhog.

So maybe he's not HItler. Maybe he's really Nero. He just has to get a violin that he can play in case of a fire.

Oh, no. This really sucks. https://news4sanantonio.com/news/local/measles-outbreak-at-texas-immigration-detention-facility-confirmed-by-dhs-officials

I also think the lingering vertigo/ear issue could be causing a lot of that. Is it getting any better since the last time you checked in?

Very interesting. Thanks for the share!

It's a week after the storm, and many of the sidewalks here are impassable, or blocked with snowbanks (caused by plows) that are quite literally taller than we are. The reason we're given for roads being the main focus is so emergency vehicles can get through, but isn't it also pretty important for them to be able to get to the buildings where the emergencies are? Also this is New England. While this amount of snow isn't so common in Boston, shouldn't we be able to deal with it better?

And 25 miles of commuting is actually not short (especially in my neck of the woods, don't know about yours). I remember when my SIL found a job with a commute of 5 minutes instead of 40... her health and mood improved significantly.

We all know that if the regime discovers even one to be untrue, that it will make sure that this one case is what the MSM broadcasts to the world. And there will be many people who will take that to mean that ALL of them are untrue, and then a new generation will be too afraid to come forward when they're abused.

Truth. I remember we all scoffed about the Civics classes, as well as classes on cooking, budgeting, and learning to report emergencies. Now I know how important they were. The 70s were an interesting time to be in elementary school, but that's another story.

Unfortunately you are right-just like rich Democrats like tax cuts, too. And meanwhile a lot of kids continue to pay for it.

That's a situation I understand all too well, and I suspect more people go through this than not. For me, I've found that Amazon wasn't saving me money in the long run-and I didn't order enough or watch enough to justify Amazon Prime. And I'm lucky to live in a place with a lot of good, affordable alternatives. We can only do what we can-even if for some it's literally helping instead of hurting someone.

It depends. In some cases it's just people walking out to show support. And in some cases people make an effort to support small businesses instead of big ones-and that's a habit that can continue long after the day in question.
