Asked my oldest if he wanted to look through these with me & he perched next to me in the “Gollum” pose while saying “Yes” in a very Gollum-like way. Not sure if that was intentional or not

There’s a few eBay sellers who have multi packs that are reasonable(ish). I’ve been back and forth on whether I want to chance ordering to replenish my stock 😬

It’s like I’m going through different phases of memories to remember what so enjoyed. I’m planning on eating a favorite “poor newlywed junior enlisted couple” meal with a PowerPuff Girl binge.

TBIs are weird. My partner wanted to know what I wanted for dinner and I legit wanted (and asked for) Torino’s pizza 😂 He offered to get Tombstone instead and I told him “That’s payday pizza! Nope!”
I also asked for our DIY Olive Garden salad.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

It gives me the same vibes as my mom telling people she had to make sure the house I picked & the place of worship I attended were okay after each PCS, even after I turned 40 (& uninterested in her approval). I’m wondering if her daughter feels the same way about the DC subway as Rep McClain does 🙃

Sorry we had to cancel your food stamps and your kids aren’t going to eat. The Secretary of Defense had to fly all the generals in so he could call them fat.

Sorry we had to cancel your cancer treatment, but the Secretary of Defense had to fly all the generals in so he could call them fat.
