Marketing creative. Non-bestselling author. Biblioholic. Beagles! There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip. I do not use semi-colons correctly. But I do love em dashes. 🚫DMs from sex workers, illuminati, Bitcoin or the god squad.

“Goodall lived her life with a purpose, not just rooted in her work with chimpanzees, but also in her mission to conserve our natural world before it’s too late."

I wrote about the life and legacy of Jane Goodall for @ebertvoices.bsky.social

Your Life Matters: Jane Goodall (1934-2025) | Tributes | Roger Ebert

An ode to the acclaimed primatologist and conservationist, whose lifelong work was captured beautifully on film for decades.

Mike Johnson only wants Lee Greenwood to perform the halftime show at the Super Bowl because Lawrence Welk is dead and therefore unavailable.

A friends' employer paid all her cancer deductibles.
Another friend made money from her cancer.
And yet anther friend sent his daughter to Harvard + a year at Oxford for what it cost me to go to Auburn. They found every grant, scholarship and whatever.
Some people are really good at the admin part.

Financially WE suffer in silence because we think it's a weakness, it's not.
TOO many American's have similar stories as yours, and it is heartbreaking - when we should be fighting for the health of our loved ones, we are fighting banks or insurance companies.
Kudos to you and Dad - survivors! 👍

Heartbreaking. And TOO many stories like that in America.

Both my parents, corporate professionals. IRA, 401k, stocks and bonds, savings accounts. Owned their home, no mortgage. One illness each, completely wiped them out financially.
What they left me in their will? Their best wishes.

A couple years ago, I got a notice that my homeowners insurance was going up again.
I called the mortgage company and said, "You should start the foreclosure process now because I'm not paying this."
By EOD, THEY had found a lower rate.

More of us need to do this ⬆️⬆️⬆️ more often.

Yes.
But it won't happen until we loudly say NO.
I paid $600 a month for insurance that I could not afford to use.
I pay more for insurance and taxes than I pay toward the principal on my monthly house payment.
This craziness we have now, will result in reform...if we survive it. 🫣

My once faithful laptop is retiring. 😐
I want to say it's 10 years old. 🤔
It was well traveled, had seen a lot of good times, a lot of projects and a lot of deadlines, but it was so slow and a bit schizophrenic. Some of the keys only had ghosted letters left on them.
Good news - new laptop today! 😁👋
