Dog-lover with an inherited cat. Avid reader of many genres. Serial non-poster on multiple social media platforms - accounts which I eventually deleted. Maybe here will be different? Comedy and well-done satire are enlivening. I'm LGBTQ+
Pinned
Here's a post to show I'm real. I'll post something else if I find a unique topic or news item, or have a novel comment to provide. Then again, I suppose I could just post cat or other photos from my life, since no one else is living it!

I want to see everyone repost this one. Canada is stepping it up while the US sinks further and further to a new low.

Well done, Canada.

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

Hey, everyone!

Here are some of my favorite online markets to use instead of Amazon:

etrailer.com - DIY products, RV focused
bhphotovideo.com - Tech products, Jewish owned
chewy.com - everything pets, including prescriptions
bookshop.org - buy books, support local bookstores

Share yours below!

(Fortunately, we do not have to live strictly by this calendar to tell us when it is proper to do things. Every day could be Chocolate Cake Day!)

Every Day is a Holiday calendar:

January 26, 2025 - Spouses Day

(I'd say if, for married folk, every day - or at least *almost* every day - isn't Spouses Day, you may be doing something wrong.)

January 24, 2025 - Peanut Butter Day

(It has been a long time since I had some PB. Most brands have ingredients that are not healthy for the person or for the planet. Find one that is just peanuts!)

January 23, 2025 - Handwriting Day

("Back in my day" this would have been called penmanship. Told that cursive writing is no longer being taught in schools. Well, maybe if everyone can properly print/type, doctor's prescriptions can be more easily read?) 😜

January 22, 2025 - Answer Your Cat's Questions Day

(This is a rather odd one! I think the first person who can figure out what is in the mind of a cat should get some great prize or another!)

And here's Dexter in a cedar chest, just because.
