I’m sad to say that I’ve noticed this as well. I’ve been attacked and was recently called a Scientologist (WTF) in PM’s and I don’t even post that much on social media.

Things seem to be uglier IRL as well.

I am very proud of your bin moving skillz.

I’m currently thinking about my pet lemon tree. Should I bring it in for the night so its roots don’t get cold or leave it out so it can get the morning sun.

Next time just box up some real food and enjoy the desserts while they were fresh. Eat the healthy stuff later.

I made the mistake of asking Harry about what made the leaves turn colors. That man sure does love to speechify after a cup of real coffee and a few cookies.

Listening to everyone talk about them, yeah…that sounds like way too much work. While I was randomly looking at them online, I found a flat tank that had water and a pump in front of a hi-def video screen showing salt water critters doing their thing.

I look at hands and necklaces. I don’t really care, we tip for service not for boobs, but I do look.

I’ll claim that label, thank you very much!

And, much as I’d like to reply to everyone, I’m too tired and need to do some S&S (stitching and smoking).

I spent most my day at the capital, things are getting kinda ugly now. The trumpies have been very aggressive and the miners against black lungs don’t seem to have a lot of patience or diplomacy. The Battle of Blair Mountain is getting a lot of discussion.

I won a couple of pieces at the ANG needlepoint auction, but only because I set up the auto bidding thing yesterday. I had planned to check the auction during the day, but things kept happening.

This is now how I will think of you always and forever.
