We hosted a foreign exchange student from China in 2015 and he was casually appalled by my size 12-ness.

I'd say Saturday, selfishly. Most of the podcasts I listen to regularly post Tues-Thur and by Saturday, I'm out of new episodes.

Similar: when my then-teenage son had surgery a few years ago, they clipped a little peppermint sticker to the top of his hospital gown to help w post-anesthesia nausea & it worked great.

How is it possible that DOGE has been able to fire/lay off thousands of federal employees? How?

Yes, my kids were disturbed by all of the holiday/special event visitors...We had to put Easter baskets and Christmas stockings on the back porch. Tooth fairy, forget about it. Loosing teeth is traumatic enough.

Until he couldn't turn his head any further.
Once we finished squawking/panicking, I wanted to follow him in our car bc he was headed toward the crowded ice cream place & i was sure he was gonna murder children.
We couldn't find him.
Noone else had seen him.
I felt like it was a fever dream.

head was cocked to the side, and he was peering into the car window. Hands in pockets of oversized knicker-style pants.
We made eye contact. I froze like a startled rabbit. Then clutched at my husband (oblivious up til now) & fumbled for car door locks.
He kept strolling by, not breaking eye

Pleasant midwestern suburb, late spring, twilight.
My husband & I were in our car, eating froyo & chatting. Caught movement in corner of my eye, glanced out the window to see a man dressed up like....a vintage joker? That's the closest style I can describe. Huge painted smile, white face. His

When my youngest was in 3rd grade, he fell off the monkey bars and broke his wrist. We didn't find that out until a full week later, when we finally took him in for an xray. It just didn't look that bad & he wasn't acting like he had a broken bone. Tough little tater.
Hope your son's arm heals quick

I haven't seen them crying around here. I live in a small college town and yesterday there was an anti ICE demonstration on campus. My friend who works there had to get in between the Magas who showed up and the student protestors bc the Maga were threatening them (the kids)

I reread 'It' during the first administration bc nothing was as awful as an ancient shape-shifting demon clowning it up in small town Maine.
Hard to know how to top that.

Yes, more of this, please. I want to hear you shouting about this every day. There is a dangerous coup happening as we watch.
And it SEEMS LIKE Dem leadership is doing nothing.
Are you?

I have been hearing good things about red light therapy.
Personally, I have moderate arthritis in both thumb joints. I use Voltaren cream and special heating pads for my hands. Got them years ago on Amazon. They velcro on.

I'm already skipping every 3rd day in order to stockpile. My insurance co already arbitrarily decided last year that I only get 183 pills/year. (The rest i have to buy out of pocket).
