No longer a working mom on LTD.. Mother to Baby Girl and her three older brothers. Here to scream into the void. Annoying people I used to follow on X just cuz I love anyone more creative than I am as I don't have a creative bone in my body.
I want to thank the 1942 To Be or Not to Be for giving us Mel Brook's version of To Be or Not to Be. I prefer Mel Brook's version, because I love him and Anne Bamcroft acting together, but that is just personal preference.

Check out this excellent writer who is being delisted elsewhere!
Okay if I can be selfish for a moment:

I'm delisted from itch. In the UK you literally can not see my profile.

A big chunk of my income, my living money, comes from bundles like this. It would mean a lot if you could share it, send it to friends. 🧵

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.

If you can help, please do. If you can't, please share. We never know who will see these posts and be able to help, even just a little.
It's been 3 days with no movement or help on this very urgent need so I can avoid eviction!

Please help me raise the $1050 I still need for my December r3nt this weekend!🙏🏽💚

I just want to whine.. if your wife tells you she doesn't really like flowers for gifts, why would you keep buying them for her? At least he knows my favorite color is purple. It's only been 18 years of marriage..
Don't get me wrong, it is nice that he remembers my birthday.

It's been a tough year for many.. the cost of living is only going higher. If you can help anyone in the thread, please do. If you can't, please share to get the word out.
December 3rd. New month. #HelpFolksLive2025 thread. Something's *always* due & food is *always* needed. Things only get better with community action. *Now* is when folks need food, water, shelter, meds. *Now* is when we/the community needs to be there for each other. There's no one else. Just us.

Bourbon in chocolate is just the most amazing thing.. stopping at a chocolatier in a small Texas town while road tripping home so you can take your 18 year old male chocoholic is always an excellent idea, even if you spend way more than you meant to. If you are ever in Hico, TX, Wiseman's is

I read through the records being sent from my ex-neuro to my neuro and the person putting together these files are not the total records I have seen. My neuro fired me with a lame excuse of inappropriate behavior, which I think means being proactive and emailing with questions.

I was put in jail by a certain app for answering someone's question on what 7-OH is. It's a kratom metabolite that is used for pain control. I get mine from vape shops.

Got fired by my neurologist.. Pain doctor's office says they have me covered. I hadn't chosen this neurologist, she was given to me when my original doctor left private practice. I'm thinking the doctor didn't get being proactive with my Healthcare or medical PTSD.

Baby Girl doesn't understand the importance of my denim The Crow jacket. We started to watch the movie last night, but she fell asleep, as she always does when lying in my bed. But the importance comes from my having to save up $200 back in the nineties, while working as a waitress. 1/2

Why does Type II Diabetes keep showing up in my records? I am not type II diabetic. If I was, I wouldn't be paying out the nose for Mounjaro or Zepbound. Yes, I am insulin resistant, no I am not diabetic. I tell every medical professional the same thing.

I told my son I should write a series of books about a goth girl, like Goth Girl gets Alien-napped. He said if I wrote it in the style of Christopher Moore, it would be good.

Vetted Food Bank list to donate to or get assistance from. Best way to keep everyone fed right now.
If you're looking for some food banks to donate to, we vetted a ton all over the country back in 2020, in conjunction with our marble league sponsorship, a sentence that I swear made sense in context. Anyway -- there are links to 17 of them in this thread. (And apologies for linking to... y'know.)

Baby boy (17) made me the brownies I requested, substituting applesauce for butter. It was a healthier substitution, done to avoid a trip to the store for butter.
Such an amazing kid!
