Except…

My dad once caught my mom fumbling through a drawer in the night looking for a gun to ease the pressure in her head.

I get left side migraines that last a day or two; ice picks behind an ear that last a few seconds - worse if I’m going between hot/cold areas a lot like in/out of buildings; and ocular migraines, usually if I’ve been upside down - looks like I’m looking through camo mesh for awhile and then a dull headache for a few hours. I mostly use cbg, water, and a little caffeine; then Aleve and Tylenol; then maxalt.

We were just taking about those today. My husband had aTRS-80. I had a C64 - played BC’s Quest for Tires for hours!

Check out the auntie network on Reddit or Facebook.

I have an air popper for work and I have a whirly pop at home. I love the ease of the air popper, but the whirly pop is far better and gives you a chance to play with different oil, temps, etc.

I thought Glenn Beck was satire. Watched it several times and then one day … wait, that’s not a joke?

I can’t even remember which things I read about and which things I experienced.

It wasn’t why Mastodon. It was why Twitter or twitter-like apps.

I do think it’s shifted from people to groups. Still has ‘my cousin’s new baby’ but also much more hobbies, cities, marketplace, and political groups.

Only if you man in it a “you people” kind of way - like y’all need to stay with your own kind- or something like that.

Can you guys help explain it to someone completely inexperienced?

I had Twitter but only used it for following music venues to see upcoming events and bars for happy hour updates. I have a Mastodon account but only played with it for a few minutes because i didn’t really get it. I don’t understand following a person. What can one person have to say that i would care enough about to download an app. What am i missing?

We’re all going out of town so my DIL has an excuse for skipping her family’s Thanksgiving.

I think we already know who the real criminals sre.

Nice fucking kitties

Mom’s visa is about to expire. She doesn’t think they’ll renew it and she’s afraid to try.

I’m in Texas in a blue bubble - more than i had realized i guess. 80% of the people i know are blue. I work in public education, so most of the red people i know were considering voting blue because of the push for school vouchers. I rarely see maga stuff and the yard signs around me were 80% Harris. Because of that i was completely shocked last Tuesday by the popular vote and it’s left me kind of disoriented. My husband works in redville, so he’s disgusted and exhausted. My adult sons are sad, mad, scared. My DIL has called me crying a few times - her parents are trumpsters and she wants to cut them out. Luckily we have enough cash on hand to help the kids get passports ASAP and enough savings to briefly go out of state/country if she needs healthcare. I 70% believe that Republican infighting will slow them down and it won’t be as bad as feared, 30% ready for the leopards!

And then we will have sofa king Vance.

Ummm…dad…why are the locks on the inside?

“Why is there so much yarn everywhere?!”

Two weeks later when the weather cools off - “Can you make a hat for me?”
