Has anyone else received a call from the CDC wanting to know about children in the home and their immunization history? Being past child bearing age, child-free and a big ol’ lesbian, why would I get such a random call?The administration being what it is,volunteering any information is a big fat no.

@schumer.senate.gov needs to go. He and the other dems that voted for this crock don’t know how to read the room. History will show he bowed to a dictator who was planning on doing what he wanted either way. I am livid!

After 12+ years filing jointly, this is a first. 😡 When we went back and tried to enter my info first, this window did not pop up for my wife. 🤔 Would this have anything to do with my name? WTF? Anyone else experiencing this? #taxes

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Debating with red hats makes me see the closeted racist, unempathetic, selfish, self-destructive, ignorant people that are in this country. I also find it interesting how sensitive they get when I don’t back down and cower like they expect.

With more frequent hostile encounters at work from clients, I am going to find it more difficult to turn the other cheek on misinformation and uneducated posts. This administration has made the roaches come out from under the rocks. Time to stomp it out.

I sit here, with my coffee and watching the snow fall, contemplating the meaning of the hawks and Sagan’s visit in my dreams…. It felt so real. #petloss #birdsymbolism

Yesterday I saw 10 Red Tailed Hawks on my drive home, a few in pairs. I have never seen that many on one drive. This morning I woke in tears with the last memory of a dream where I was hugging my old dog, Sagan, & telling him I love him. Come to realize, today is the anniversary of his passing.

I have been hearing Small Town Boy by Bronksi Beat on tv & social media. If there is a video for a song, I look for it, well, because I am of an age where that’s what we did as teenagers back in the 80’s. If I had more exposure back then, I wouldn’t have felt alone & may have come out sooner. #lgbtq
