I'm sorry that didn't work out to your advantage, Toddson, but I'm glad to hear the city is looking out for the less affluent. Hope you don't have to wait too long.

Yay, meara!!!
I'm having a "would not wish anyone dead, but would read certain obituaries with great interest" response to the news of Limbaugh's death.
Is it wrong to feel it would have been fine for him to have suffered painfully a while longer, so long as he wasn't well enough to be on the air? That is where I am with Trump. I don't want him to die. I want him to suffer, preferably in prison.

My upstairs neighbor has a hibachi. I have a fire pit. Coffee will happen.
I have all kinds of sympathy for Texans and Louisianans dealing with snow and ice. However, I will never stop mocking O'Hare Airport for completely falling apart due to less than 2 inches of snow (no ice) in November, 2019. Because it's in Chicago.

Yeah, you have to figure on snow in Chicago in the winter. I was once in Chicago on business and made a fast trip to the airport to get out ... which turned out for the best as one of the people I'd been meeting with told me they'd had a "Saskatchewan Screamer" not too long afterwards.

We went hiking this morning and it was lovely, if a bit icey. I fell several times--once flat on my face while standing still (classic me) and then a few times on my butt. I'm not hurt at all, though!

Lisa I am impressed by your falling skills!! Not being hurt after that is a total win

Can I say something nice about a congressman? Jason Crow (of Colorado) is a combat veteran and, on Jan. 6, he helped others get their gas masks on, comforted an obviously terrified congresswoman and was the last one out of the chamber.
