I've said it before and I will say it again. The same people that want you to work until you're 75 won't hire you after 50.

I chuckle at people who are working with me at a conference and say that they "got 5000 steps in today"... yesterday was just an average day for me. No car, walk far.

I don't know how anyone can shop anywhere else. This place has the best coupons and rewards program of any other drugstore.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "The president has previously said...that government shutdowns are on the president and all you need to do is get everyone in a room and have a serious conversation. And they're refusing to do that. They are holding people's healthcare hostage."

It was a wonderful event. We were just named the best city in the world again for like the ninth year in a row. People are fleeing to come here.

... so he says to me "it's because all the illegal aliens are taking up all the hotel rooms"... I turned my attention back to the jazz and never said a word more. He attempted to buy my drinks at the end of the evening, ( chivalry is not entirely dead I guess) and I politely declined.

So the jazz club I went to last night has little tiny tables and if you are solo, sometimes they will put someone else at your table. A man from Long Island, who I thought was lovely, joined me at my table. I told him I was thinking about going to New York next week, but hotel rooms are crazy $$$..

Bullshit!!! And what do they care about new spending?!? Gold in the old office, gold ballrooms, unnecessary arches?

This is a beautiful spot in Chicago and one I enjoy going to and taking a book with me.

Need a cool spot to watch fall colors? Try the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool

Public park spaces like the lily pool, where Chicagoans can pause to catch a breath and experience some of nature's beauty, are well worth preserving and protecting.

Everyone's drinking, even the skeletons.

Stood for over four hours cheering on the runners this morning during the Chicago Marathon as I limped home after standing on concrete, I marvel at their endurance and strength! #chicagomarathon and finally a helicopter in the sky doing something decent for a change.

Runners at Division and Wells Street in the middle of a war zone.

Runners in the marathon and bright colors. On the backside of the race.

We've had lots of helicopters hovering in the last couple of weeks with the fake Warzone bullshit so it's nice to see a news helicopter for once recording a great event.

It's more heroic to donate to your local food, pantry, and order from Costco online. Costco pays its employees a good wage and treat someone well.

Absolutely perfect weather for a marathon today. Warmed up at the end to around 60 but at the race start it was 52°. #chicagomarathon #showmeyourhellhole #jimmykimmel #warzone

Excellent! I found the same to be true. In the last six months before my subscription to prime ran out, I would find the item on Amazon and then go outside to that company and order directly from them.

Yes, thank you! Because I don't support Amazon, someone suggested that I don't support taking care of needy families?!? wtf?!? You can support them just as well by buying locally and sending it to them or shipping from Costco!
