Me, a Dakota person, being drawn to the design of a sweater Kyle Richards wore on RH Ultimate Girls Trip 2026, and learning it’s from a Ralph Lauren collab with an Oceti Sakowin designer couple, Jocy and Trae Little Sky. At almost $700, that’s way too rich for my blood, but okay, represent.

It’s so hard watching our beloved pets age and go through an illness. I’m sorry. This little guy is the last of our four pups. He’s 12. He had a follow up at the vet today and needed vaccines. We lost our longest companion (she was almost 17) in Jan 2025, and we all still miss her so much.

Damn, who are these Gen-Xers? This mid-fifties woman hates AI as much as my kids. I don’t want it using precious resources and impacting disadvantaged communities. I’m also not white and didn’t vote MAGA, so be ffr, not all of us are clapping like seals over AI slop. apple.news/A2I-kv2QYR76...

Cedar Rapids, Iowa: Have you seen this missing black/white/tan long-haired chihuahua boy? Goes by his full name, Berry Manilow. The owner has a $325 reward. There have been sightings of him near Hilltop Kennels and Solar Park. I’ve never been so invested in seeing a missing pup be found. 🫶🏽

Since my incision healed, digestion normalized, and lift restriction is over, I’ve been able to consume more food and started at the gym. On GLP-1 for T2D, I struggle to feel hungry or crave anything. So, I focus on fiber and protein. Along with whole foods, these to little snack finds have helped.
Built Bar’s Sour Puff Green Apple Crush (the Peach one is even better IMO) and That’s It Fiber Mini Fruit Bar Apple and Berries (there’s also an apple with cinnamon bar)

If he has a large campaign contribution for Trump, perhaps he can buy her freedom, but otherwise his fiancé will be treated like other “illegals” that he voted for this admin to detain and deport. Classic GOP/MAGA though. Zero fucks given until it impact them directly.

Our golden was bigger than average. He grew up with two mini dachshunds and a chihuahua), so thought he too was their size. Knocked over stuff constantly, and definitely overpowered many a lap. I sure miss that big beautiful boy!

Lettuce is very easy to grow in containers on a small deck. It grows fast! I did that last summer and was harvesting frequently. This summer I’m recovering from a big abdominal surgery, so pushed pause on my container garden.

He can’t stand that she won and got paid, but even worse to him is that the American people (and many around the world) continue to point out on social media that Trump is an adjudicated sexual batterer who had to pay Carroll for that abuse and liable. He will never live that down and he knows it.🔥

Criminal behavior by nasty low quality men who want attention and to humiliate women! Dollar Tree would rather hire lawyers to fight victims instead of adequate security to protect customers. Then there’s men who honored a predator who was publicly shamed for his crime so he killed himself. WTAF?!

So much winning! I guess it’s good he doesn’t think (not even a little bit) about Americans’ financial situations, because most leaders would worry … at least about their party’s electability, and its impact on his agenda and legacy.

Our dog does this when he is so mad he can’t even stand to look at us. This day, his kid didn’t share a single crumb with him. Big feelings!

Insomnia isn’t good for much, but I made little churros in the middle of the night. First time ever! My kid told me I am like Gordon Ramsey, the Picasso of food. I don’t know about that, but we shall see how they go over with her Spanish class today.

We should live in a country where grandmas don’t need to work for DoorDash to afford cancer treatments for their spouse. Also, where they aren’t used as props by POTUS for a political stunt. And, where POTUS isn’t a cheapskate acting like he’s doing DoorDash grandma a huge favor by tipping $100.

Quite a read given all that’s happening in the Middle East thanks to Trump. Obviously Epstein used his many connections to gain access to the world’s wealthy elites. Odd how it always connects back to money and underaged girls. amp.Miami herald.com/news/nation-world/national/article315250480.html

I can’t do much about the stress inducing state of our country right now. I can only control my reaction to it, and keep moving forward with eating more protein and fiber to help my body instead of just getting cake wasted. Tonight’s meal: egg roll in a bowl with edamame and water chestnuts.

Feeling pretty Midwestern right now. We had a taco pizza from Casey’s (gas station) for supper. #Iowa I added Quest Loaded Taco Protein Chips to my 2 pieces for an extra 17 g of protein.

My guess is he’s planning to have ‘marble’ flooring installed and some gilding of the columns, like he had in his NYC apartment. He’s a tenant, not an owner. These changes to a historic public building should not be allowed.

Our guy is a mini dachshund mixed with pom. He’s nearly 12 and just the sweetest little guy. The red color picture was when he was a puppy, and the blanket one is recent (he loves riding in the car in his seat and being cozy).

DNA findings support his reported lack of interest in sex, his confirmed (via medical record) undescended right testicle (he had only one ball), his reported lack of sexual intimacy w/partner Eva Braun. Perhaps, explaining why he never married, had no kids, and instead focused intensely on politics.

His mental health likely impacted by childhood abuse, and trauma of losing his parents and siblings by age 19, as well as his genetic propensity for having schizophrenia, for autism and for bipolar disorder.

The news outlet needs to do better than this ableism: “What we don’t know: Police have not explained how Webber was able to drive a car or fire a weapon.” Umm, clearly there is social media footage of this corn hole champ firing guns. No hands/legs, but still capable of gun violence. So American!

We got a 2 yr old dog from a trailer park in DeSmet, SD. When we first got her she’d cower and run into her small kennel (it came with her) if one of us picked up any item like a backscratcher. She eventually realized we were safe. We had 15 great yrs w/her. She passed 1/25/25.

More information available via SF Chronical. Apparently, this was not the result of ICE being at the airport to ‘assist’ TSA. The ‘men’ were in process of transporting the woman and her child via an outbound flight (they should just say deported, but ok). www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s...
