Another rant about the non existence of quality outdoor clothes for tall woman.Ill fitting duds pass in comfy weather but go do active things on mountains or frozen lakes at 0F you really want clothes that fit. Every year I try on every jacket but default to my old giant boxy men’s stuff.

The health insurance apocalypse looms. Meanwhile in what feels like a small win, I just scheduled a bone density scan at an imaging company instead of the U. of Vermont Medical Center. At UVM a dex scan costs $1600 and the soonest appt is Oct 2026. At Vermont Imaging it is $231 and next week.

I’ve been putting blue in my hair for years but my stylist has moved away so I went for a consultation at a new salon.
COLORIST: Do you wear gold or silver jewelry?
ME: I don’t wear jewelry
COLORIST: Ok but if you did?
ME: Bones and crow feathers
COLORIST: Hm, cool colors I think

The free internet is over. Even without the bogus AI generated content, pages are unreadable. Tiny bits of text sandwiched between massive ads. When an ad pops up over a page, I’m outta there and wash off my data every day because it’s all so gross. On the plus side, I’m using my cookbooks again.

Hey folks, I posted about Google training their AI on all our email and reposted instructions on how to turn it off….and apparently I was spreading false news. I am very sorry!
since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
