Both have their strengths. My writing partner and I have written in cafes and at my son’s lake house. Ideas flow at the cafe and lines flow in the solitude 😎

When I worked in family social work in TN, birth certificates were available at public health departments in every county. Born anywhere in TN? Birth certificates available at any county health dept. I don’t know if that’s still true.

Seeing a new neurologist tomorrow. Gotta be better than the last wingnut who had a supplement side hustle. β€œYou’re deficient in b vitamins and need to detox.” WTF?You’ve never taken blood samples. I’m here for you to treat my epilepsy, not sell me vitamins. Geez! πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

WTF?! I hope they DID target these sites. They are at war with an invading country. Why wouldn’t they? Did Russia avoid Ukraine’s governmental sites? Fuck no.

Cooked? Processed. Cheese? Processed. Bread of any kind? Processed. Homemade from scratch? Processed. There is an argument for overly processed foods, of course, but, unless you pluck something straight off a tree or kill it and eat it raw without preserving it, you’re eating a processed food.

I got my flu and Covid shots last month after RFK, Jr’s threat of pulling them entirely, then allowing them for 65+. Because I’m not yet 60, I got mine before Sep 1 at the grocery store pharmacy.

I don’t have fans, per se. I have folks who want to understand more about health disparities and surviving a zip line fall. Definitely 2 different crowds πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

The article repeats MTG’s assertion that folks should drink it and avoid pharmaceuticals. So, why are they using pharmaceutical drugs and modern medicine to save their lives?

I read on the CDC website that this fall’s flu shots were sent out starting in July. Thank goodness. No news on this fall’s Covid. There’s a new variant, so, we may need a road trip to Mexico or Canada.

Go, Calhoun County, Alabama! Are folks here coming out of the fog? Nah, but
people aren’t as afraid to speak up, even in rural areas.

It was so fucking humid yesterday afternoon that condensation on the camera lens caused my cell phone to not recognize me, forcing me to remember my 6-digit login code.

That’s it. That’s my text.

Of course! Taste-testing is a necessary step.
