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

Attorneys who act like billing numbers are some silly bother I invented to irritate them should probably be thrashed.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'm hip, Karl. Trudy, I could get a whip from work, but they'd like it.

Trudy I’m sure the idea of a billable hour is shocking and new to them and they probably need time to adjust. Maybe a few years. Maybe forever.

Thrive to spite them

I'm getting another , different type of ultrasound for my abdomen, different medice for the stomach pains etc and a head CT scan .

I've been feeling very emotional and vulnerable because it taps into my issues if when I had health stuff going on and adults/Drs didn't believe me or take it seriously I told my doctor this and he was very reassuring. I also thanked him for never acting like my weight could be an issue for any kind of treatment or that losing weight would solve my problems .

The Table Rock Fire continues to burn. They are mandatory evacuations now for 55 homes, 7 have been destroyed, it's burned over 3000 acres and is 0% contained.

All because some teenagers were smoking. .

Its been windy and there hasn't been any rain. We saw a Chinook flying today and I was wondering if it was headed for the fire .

Apparently a ton of folks at dancing got Covid last week, so we ended up canceling tonight, lest it spread more. I volunteered to sit outside and let folks know…and then a half hour before it would’ve started, the transformer down the street blew, so we wouldn’t have had power and would’ve had to cancel anyway! Of course now I’m paranoid I’m going to get COVID.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Thank heavens, -t. Yes, tomorrow is supposed to be back to seasonal -- mid to high 60s rather than mid to high 80s. That will be a considerable relief.

A friend of mine is in Portland, Maine this week for work, and she got snow on Monday! I was so jealous.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

A couple I know got Covid at a recent convention -- they've held it off for over 5 years now. There should be some kind of consolation prize for that.

I took a 100yo off to a medical appointment yesterday! She was spicy and funny, and new to our residence, she's not sure she wants to be around old people...

Ha, yes! My mom always felt the same way... except she was sure that she didn't.
