It'll be hard to tell if I'm going to die then. I'm always high energy. Things gots to get done. 😁

My Gracie drinks bottled water while I pour and Frankie is interested in all food prepared. He licked up nutmeg that I'd spilled on the countertop. With great relish. Who knew? 🤣

I take a tiny dose and I'm just difficult. My brother was prescribed a much larger dose, he's bigger than me, as everyone is, and it made him have fits of weeping. Most undignified. 😁

You can't blame them for finding the marks and then picking their pockets. It's the American way today.

#Gaza: Doctors without Borders is deeply disappointed that Dr Mohammed Obeid, a respected orthopaedic surgeon, and long-time MSF colleague, remains detained and was not released as part of the recent #ceasefire agreement. We call for his immediate and unconditional release.

Oh, when it comes to that, I'm fortunate.

I've had this for a lifetime and Arthur-itis and I are old enemies. I made a good plan to hold him at bay, I stockpiled. I have a spouse and friends who support me. I'm very lucky.

It's a wicked enemy. It changes you.

I have no patience, NONE, and I want to crawl out of my skin. It's feral.

Why are doctors still trying to figure out that their job is to listen to the patient, who is always the expert on their body, their disease, and when something is wrong?

That expensive education and they can't figure out something so simple, so human, and universal.

Attention parents: if you child eats school meals, beware! There is a suspected Listeria contamination in breakfast burritos and wraps. MCI Foods has recalled 91,585 pounds of breakfast products, but they are already stacked in school (and store and home) freezers.

But that's not how medicine functions today. It's run by private equity and lawyers.

And it suits you to espouse patient rights to control their meds for these types of drugs ($)...but not for other types of drugs.

Ruh roh! The oncologists are plopping right in the middle of drug hysteria scamming.

Now the addiction doctors will be big mad that you put your nose in their addiction clinic expansion plans. 😁

Our military does not belong to the president. It belongs to the people. Deploying troops into American cities is a dangerous and unlawful breach of our democratic norms. As veterans, we stand with the soldiers being used as partisan instruments. You deserve better leadership.

Okay, more irritated. More testy.

Thank you. ❤️

I'm just not sure anymore. I'd rather err on the side of caution.

I heard that there's an ICE facility here, but you know rumors in a small town...🙄.

Does every Republican have all of a 4th grade education?

They sound like little boys, not mature men with an elite job and education.

In this culture, you need to have at least the basic capacities to be your own doctor, your own public health expert, and your own lawyer.

It's been forced on us all. We need to be more educated, not less, as crooked Republicans would have us believe.

Republicans find it easier to kill children and seniors stochastically.

It's effective and there's no way to bring the murderers to justice.

What a surprise for people who used to be doctors and treated patients! 🙄

#Spotify is running ads that recruit for ICE.

Let that sink in.

While immigrant families are being hunted, detained, and deported, Spotify is serving government propaganda to its users. They’re actively taking money from ICE. They are helping their wave of chaos.

Out the back, it's like another country. We have 2 diametrically different views.
