With apologies to both said lady Patti and troubadour Yusuf/Cat, 10yo heard this and thought it sounded like LADY GARBANZO, and so it shall be.

Lehigh County exec says he’s evicting ICE agents from Allentown office, citing 3 years of unpaid rent Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel’s announcement to evict the ICE agents came shortly after the county’s financial watchdog revealed the agency owes more than $115,000 in rent.

Please enjoy this local news: β€œLehigh County Executive Josh Siegel said he is evicting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement unit from a county-owned building where it has occupied an office for about three years but never paid rent…
β€œWe’re going to deport ICE,” Pinsley said at the news conference”

We love Mad Libs! 10yo has a sleepover we picked up before her party this summer, and I gave her the Olivia Rodrigo version for Christmas. Super fun and silly, and a nice escape. :)

Prior authorization is such a damn racket, I swear.

I figure that if my healthcare provider - WHO KNOWS ME AND KNOWS MY MEDICAL HISTORY AND NEEDS - decides that I need something, that’s where it should stop, in terms of insurance companies being nosy weirdos who are totally uninformed.

I close my eyes through like half of The Pitt bc I am a huge baby, but that still bothers me way less than those GR shows.

I wonder if it’s bc you know it’s SFX makeup, etc.

My husband, 10yo, and I like to watch Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares and Secret Service, but we can’t watch those when eating bc that’s actual, real horrific kitchen conditions. 🀒

You have not, and your posts keep a lot of us (myself included for sure!) going and focusing on the things we can control and things we can make better - spreading love and kindness and supporting our communities. πŸ’œ

Ahh - I thought that might be the case but wasn’t 100% sure.

Thank you for sharing this bit of calm, and I think this is a time when having an #UglyDogs compound somewhere would be perfect. Scritches, coffee, and kindness aplenty, and I think that’s what we all need right now. πŸ’œ

I work in healthcare. I track vaccinations.

We have NOT been instructed that vaccines wont be covered by insurance. At all. REQUEST THEM.

And you just know she’s like, I’m Queen PepΓ©, so obviously I can do things others can’t, but we all work as a team and everyone trusts me to lead the way! πŸ‘‘

Q, I have no doubt that no matter her age, no two- nor four-legged subjects of the Queen can keep up w/ her, but no one really minds! πŸ’œ
