Noticing a real uptick in ads for casino and gambling apps. God those ads are so fucking predatory & manipulative. One showed an elderly woman doing a fist pump after winning - like, really? As bad as those sports betting apps

I'm not a big traveler bc I have terrible issues w/ homesickness & I don't always do well in new situations. My goal has been to travel more, but I don't know if I feel comfortable bc of all the restrictions/rules/policies around plus size plane passengers (1/2)

THANK YOU! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 it's criminal to encourage people who need legitimate medical care to utilize snake oil remedies and other grifts. It's always been about shaming and scolding people who are ill. Everything would be fine if you just follow our plan
Their plan to MAHA is to let all the sick and disabled people die

My kids love going roller skating at our local rink. So funny, roller skating was a big deal when I was in middle school. I remember wearing vests over t-shirts w/ huge pendant necklaces skating to INXS thinking I was the. shit. I looked like a cross between Joey Russo & Jacob Marley #parenting

I'm very short/round & the couch and living room chairs we have now are miserable for me to sit in. So I watch all my TV in our bedroom. We decided to pull a little $ from savings and get a recliner loveseat. I'm irrationally excited about this. It's like the biggest thing I have going in my life

I just got back in from gardening which is what you do in Texas when it's 80° outside. I actually don't mind it. Husband and kids say it's "gross" that it's so hot at Christmas

No one ever believes me but my mother made figgy pudding every Christmas without fail for 30+ years and it's awesome. It's more like a super moist cake that steams in the oven and you add whipped cream. I once looked up the recipe but it is too involved for me #bakesky #baking

Favorite #Christmas songs one modern and one traditional? Traditional: "Whence comes this rush of wings" (very medieval sounding). Modern: Joseph, Better You Than Me (The Killers, Elton John, Neil Tennant). #musicsky #Christmasmusic #carols

Currently watching old episodes of Real Housewives of New Jersey like a good Christian should on the eve of the birth of our Lord and Savior.

Found a cell number online through one of those people searches for my first cousin, once removed and we began texting and she sent me our amazing family tree with incredible detail. Interesting how modern technology can facilitate such exchanges #genealogy #ancestry

Client thought I was pregnant today. Not sure if I should be insulted because I'm fat, or be flattered because she thought I was young enough to still have a baby

Lord help me I love that commercial for avocados where the two construction guys break the water main & the woman is so excited about guacamole she says the water reminds her of Vegas. My husband questions my sanity every time it comes on. I can't help it

If you haven't watched enough Christmas specials this season & want a suggestion, the Pee Wee's Playhouse 1988 Christmas special is pure gold. We don't deserve it. It absolutely holds up #peeweeherman #peeweesplayhouse #christmas
