Our wings are not tired.

I use groups to shut out any of my posts that may bring conflict, because I just really don't enjoy it. None of y'all are blocked, but various family and work friends are in my ''non-political' group which really should be called 'non-controversy'. A lot of my posts are 'Friends except non-political'. It really does keep things calm.

Many of my friends and family only see posts about the Florida weather and cute animals.

Mostly I don't want her to have any access to my daughter or my life, and if her sister is going to share stuff with her, she can't have access either.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am grateful not to have anyone toxic like that in my life.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am so lucky that my Facebook friends are mostly you guys, people from my Myers-Briggs group and cool people from high school! I unfriendly the high school people pretty quickly if they are angry making.

Although the weird think around here is a meteorologist who got fired because he somehow said "Martin Luther Coon King Junior" on air. I am pretty sure he didn't mean to, but now some people are boycotting the tv station for firing him, which is ridiculous

I'm so sorry you have to deal with that level of crazy, sj. Your family pictures bring so much joy to so many. Block away the crazy!

Thanks, everyone. I'm trying to pull myself together today, but I'm also still in pain from falling. So, it's not going well.

Sorry you're caught up in this nonsense, Consuela. I'm a little frustrated with the Dems on this. I think they should be putting on more pressure, passing little bills to fund TSA works, to fund keeping National parks maintained, to fund meat inspectors... you know, make the Repubs or Trump have to shoot that stuff down.

Busy times lately, I'm in job looking mode again. Done a couple of technical assessments, had an interview Thursday, had two interviews Monday, had a second interview yesterday. Have a second interview coming up Friday. I don't know how many talks I've had with recruiters. There's a lot in the pipeline still. Just signed for another retention bonus with the current employer so I'd like to stay on awhile, but I really want to have something lined up for after with a delayed start.

Isn't that exactly what they're doing? Nancy Pelosi proposed this strategy in December and these bills will be passed this week.

Herding cats for fun

Now I wish I had unleashed all the power of verbiage right back. At the time I was still hoping to have cordial relations with that part of the family. My self restraint did me no good.

I guess moving to another city without providing a forwarding address means they want me out of their picture. Their Family Values are so not inclusive. I like to think our grandma and grandpa would be appalled.

Then I stand corrected.
