Our wings are not tired.

Those roasted cabbage steaks look yummy. I usually end up stir frying it or making soup.

My frustration level over the Kavanaugh bullshit is over the top. I have to turn off the tv and do something productive.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

For those who love cabbage rolls but think it is too much work, chop the cabbage, put all ingredients in a large pot, maybe add a little tomato juice, cook it up that way. Very tasty, much less work.

Question. I've never used Lyft or Uber or such. Say I want to arrange a ride via Lyft from the airport to my hotel, how far in advance do you set that up? If you set if up and your flight gets delayed can you change it? Or do you set it up after you arrive?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

You can book a Lyft ride a week in advance, which locks in the price. You can also just call a Lyft when you get there, and I can't imagine you'd have much trouble getting one at the airport.

You can cancel a planned ride, but if the driver is already on the way, you'll be charged a fee.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Special election in TX yesterday State Senate seat in a district that has been D for a long time. The seat is open because the last Senator is headed to prison, guilty of 11 felonies. It's a district where there's been a lot of corruption and machine style party politics. R won the seat last night and now Rs hold 2/3 of the TX Senate.

All depressing, but this is the worst part. Only 5% of eligible voters came out.

Turnout is the only thing that will matter in Nov.

Ugh. Just had to unfriend a dude on fb who was posting about how awful it is when me. Are falsely accused of rape or harassment and lose their jobs. And I was like "yeah, it's unfortunate but so rare that ima spend lots more time worrying about the many women who suffer from harassment and assault and are disbelieved when they come forward" and he was like "oh so you're "shoot them all and let god sort it out?#democrats2018" and I just couldn't. I really wonder if his wife is even reading his fb (I don't know her)
