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. “You’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! 🤦🏻‍♀️

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.

Buying and registering a car in Hoover, AL. Your car costs an additional 6.75% sales tax with after income taxed $. Registration adds property tax of at least 3.75%, based on how nice the car, ad valorem tax on Using the car based on neighborhood 🤷🏻‍♀️, EVERY year. Republican lower taxes my ass.

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.

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.

Agree. This absolutely works. Don’t sound like your family, PhD committee members, research study PIs, friends, etc. THEY’RE not the ones sweating words, time, and energy to get a publication done.
