This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Even his sycophants should realize he's seriously mentally ill and do what they can to remove him from office and into a memory care facility. He's making the US laughing stock on the world stage

Used to have a kitty who would literally sit inside my trousers when I had them down at my ankles to use the porcelain throne..

I get a discount too. Never got it with my previous insurer but get it now

Donna Whitman @nsbooklady.bsky.social · 3d

Good for you. I always book early so I can get an appointment that works for us and to avoid the rush. Booked last week for the 27th

Good morning, folks! The flu shots are available in Nova Scotia now. Kevin and I are going for ours this morning. Crossing my fingers that he doesn't have a "you and what army are going to stick that thing in me" attitude when the time comes.

The WAPO is behind a pay wall. Full article available here. This is unprecedented and scary as hell. archive.ph/DNPUh

Even checked the publisher's web site. All 3 say sold out but the bookstores never had them unless they sold out within less than 24 hours between times I checked..

Donna Whitman @nsbooklady.bsky.social · 4d

Curious. Been checking Amazon & Indigo online for about 6 weeks now (before book I want was released). It's NEVER been on either although it's available for order. Also not available in local bookstores. How does a book get to #2 on a best seller's list without ever being available - pre-orders?

Amen to that! Not only is she a VERY talented performer but she's a stellar person who uses her fame for good works. As the saying goes, when God made her, he broke the mold.

Just discovered that the NS SPCA's thrift store accepts books too. We got our Lucious there and I like to support them so may bring mine over there.

Donna Whitman @nsbooklady.bsky.social · 5d

We have a little #FreeLibrary in our apartment building. The only problem is that no one uses it. I've lived here 10 years and some of the books were there when I moved in. I've given up putting things there. Any suggestions as to an organization that can use books I've weeded from my collection?
