Is she running for gov or sen? I can't remember.

She's begging for fence-sitters by trying to appear "moderate" or "McCain'ish" (not my words, quoting someone else)

I'm not buying it.

It's the old bait & switch. Think, Tricia Cotham. 🤢🤮

It's been good catching up with her.
She's a traveler RN and works nights. She calls sometimes on her way to or from work (has tea to spill usually 😅🤭 we used to work in the ER together)

Ye Olde Trail Tavern, is a possibility.
Great place.

Well, since no one's doing it. I guess I'll burn mine in my driveway.

I took it down on Jan. 20th, 2025.
I'll not fly it again until this Country decides to love me back.

Yeah. I'm just that petty.

I'm not a Spotify gal. I'm a Pandora person.

"Alexa. Play Jefferson Airplane Radio on Jana's Pandora."

All my faves from the 60-70's play like a remix tape I've made. Lol!

I'm feeling great this week.
My tummy is all good.
I'm not having any pain more than normal joint aches.
No leg cramps at night.
My head's together.

It's been a good week so far.

Great to be back in the workshop, sewing and listening to good music.

My sister-in-law went to Antioch College for Journalism back in the 60's. I always wanted to live there but too expensive on a Paramedic salary.

I miss hiking at Glen Helen. I miss Young's Dairy too.

When we were going strong (beforeI moved to NC), we tried to get in on that and never got a space. It was a tough one to get your foot in the door.

But, I've gone to it before and it was awesome. Still have 2 tie-dye t-shirts I wear regularly that I got at the festival.

Hey guys!👋🏼

Sorry I haven't been around much the last few days.
My old business partner has 3 or 4 festivals/craft shows scheduled up in Ohio and I've been sewing things to restock & have back stock.
Big'un this weekend: Sauerkraut Festival Waynesville, OH. 2019 we did $8K total for the weekend.

😳😬

Well, can't say as I blame y'all.

It's a busted-ass decision to make.
I back you guys 💯 no matter what happens.

Don't take Trumplethinskin's shit!

JT Retired Medic @jt-retiredmedic.bsky.social · 1d

Exactly.

It's always "all our fault".
Even when they have it all, we're still to blame.

And it's "pre-life", not pro-life.

They aren't planning on any future elections. They believe Trumplethinskin will be there to protect them forever by not having elections, just handpicked appointments.

Umm, that would be everyone I know irl, family included.

I'm tired of having to defend myself all the time, about everything. I fucking KNOW WHAT I KNOW!

I've been overreacting, huh?

Really? Have I?

19 months is all I need to switch from SSDI to SSI. But, they want to fool with that, too! By raising the retirement age to 70.
Piss on everyone who doubted me.

Anybody else catch that one short statement about "old people shouldn't be on SSD"?

No? Just ME?

I know what I heard. I've been saying this was the "plan" since P2025 dropped.

But, NOoooo 🙄. "Oh, Jana... you're wrong. That'll never happen."

Oh yeah? What about now? Am I wrong still?
