Is it wrong that when I heard about the death of General Powell that my first thought was at least I didn't have to hear nothing except Senators Manchin and Sinema news for a day?

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

That's better than my first thought, Laura, which was: why couldn't it have been Trump instead?

What is even happening?

Right there with you, Tep. My first thought was: "Really, Walter Reed? You saved TFG, and you couldn't save Powell?"

Laura, I've had the news off for the last couple of days, because it was really doing in my head. I can't say I feel that much better, but the worsening has stopped. I can't keep being so mad at people and things I can't change.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I am rickety too. The mask somehow makes it so I have no depth perception at all, and I already had poor depth perception.

Sophia, I feel you. The first time I wore a mask I discovered in the face-plant-on-the-sidewalk way that peripheral vision isn't just to the sides and that I look at the ground more than I realized.

Any other fully-hearing person discover just how much they read lips to understand what people are saying?

My doctor and I were just talking about how the mask messes with your vision, as he had to help me step down from the table. I got progressives a year ago, which makes it even worse for me.

I fortunately had a chance to get used to the mask before I had to get used to the progressives... took me about a month to go down stairs without grabbing the rail CUZ WE BE RICKETY!

I already knew I read lips a lot, but masking has def proved it.

Cindy what does TFG mean? All I can think is “that ducking guy”

Yes, this. It isn't right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
