With all the crazies out there, I'm almost nostalgic for the '60s refrain of "My country, love it or leave it." Almost.

Finally home. Exhausted. Peeved cats demanding attention (one on shoulder).

It took many hours for Hubby to come out of the anesthesia. He's had spinal operationswith lighter drugs. But the surgeon is very pleased, and he should be out of there tomorrow morniing. And I'm going to bed. With cats.

So glad to hear it, Connie. Been thinking about you and hubby.

Do remember that you can select what types of posts you see from each friend on FB. By which I mean, you can choose to not see any photo posts but still see status updates. You cannot choose between different types of photos, sadly. There are a couple of people I completely unfriended before I realized that. But it has allowed me to keep a couple of people that I would have otherwise had to cut on the grounds that they posted more "I love guns so much I refuse to discuss the actual text of the Second Amendment and the fact that you have read the U.S. Constitution makes you a dirty Marxist Nazi" than I could stomach.

Thank you for the continued birthday wishes, darlings. Oh, hey, one of my cousins have said happy birthday to me.

I just got home from trivia, and saw a woman crawling into the alley between my house and the one next door. I tried to ask her if she needed help, but she was really disoriented and didn't really answer me, but she said, "I'm cold." I called the police, and they found her still in the alley, passed out, and are taking her to the hospital. It's 6 degrees out there.

Hil, you probably saved her life.

If I'd come home just a minute or two later, I probably wouldn't have seen her. She was visible from the sidewalk when I got home, but by the time the police got there, she was in the alley and I had to show them where she was.

Yipes Hil, I'm so glad you saw her and called someone to help her.

Yeah, you know what distinction would be technically possible that would be really helpful, would be to be able to block photos that someone is just forwarding from somewhere else, and not ones they'd uploaded themselves. So I'd get a few where I have whackaloons who are creating the contentious content, but mostly I'd then just get cute baby and pet pictures and could ignore all the offensive or inane ones. With my students, there are a lot of inane ones.

I'm going to have to go to bed just to stop myself from eating everything in the kitchen.
