dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 08/10/2026As a daughter, some of my strongest memories from early childhood are my dad reading to me at bedtime. It's not just hearing the story; it's the interaction, the shared ritual, and the time spent together. I'm sure your daughter will feel the same for the rest of her life. 020

dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Yes, Joni Ernst, senator from Iowa, in a town hall. Someone in the audience said people would die as a result of ACA subsidy cuts. She started saying, "no one's going..." then changed her mind and said, "well, we're all going to die, people!" Nailed it! 010

dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Same thing happens in Word documents. I wrote it, Word knows I wrote it, I remember what I wrote, and I don't need a summary. 000

dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Ohh, OK, I see that. I like the crone, too. And the spirit is also cool. 010
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 05/09/2026What is the blobby thing with the human face next to the chair? Is it supposed to be a child in a costume? It's kinda weird. 110
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 05/09/2026To me it looks like it's striking a pose. 😆 110

dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 19/08/2026What if all the non-citizens voted R, and the seat should actually have gone to the Dem? 100

dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Sure, as soon as he's finished putting on his makeup. 010
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 18/07/2026A hot #caturday, but it's not too bad in the shade on the porch. 030
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Haruspication. Great word, but difficult to work into quotidian conversations. Also, quotidian would be a top choice. 010
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I read Strange Houses and liked it. I'll have to get the others. 020
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Girls can like dinosaurs. When I was a little girl, I loved going to the natural history museum to see the dinosaur skeletons. I had a dinosaur pop-up book. I don't recall having a single thing with a unicorn. 040
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 02/07/2026I put sunflower seeds on the ground for the squirrels and ground feeders. Some of them sprouted and I let them grow. Happy to see a bumblebee enjoying this one! 🐝🌻 020
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Also, it is not the 250th "birthday " of the White House. 000
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Happy Birthday! It looks like I wasn't the only one hopping on the potato bus at the last minute to make a donation. Thanks for sharing your photos, and skritches to all the kitties! 010
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 27/06/2026They do spread easily, but I love the scent, and I love watching the bumblebees on them every spring. 110
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Dame's rockets have 4 petals, phlox have 5. So, definitely dames. I have both, too. All volunteers. 110
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Catnip: I planted it for the cats, but this bee likes it too! Happy #pollinatorweek 010
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 27/06/2026#caturday morning coffee on the porch with the kitties. Lucy likes sitting on the porch swing. And we discovered the next door neighbor has a cat who looks like a littler Rusty. 😻 0111
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Probably something by Stephen King. The Stand was long, but I think some of the Dark Tower books were even longer. 010
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 20/06/2026I can only infer that people in the Middle Ages thought grapes were poisonous. 🤣 000
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Thanks for the recommendation. I just ordered it. It looks like his website has a lot of good info to dig into as well. 😀 120
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 08/06/2026I was thinking that is the pronunciation usage I've typically heard. 000
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Hence the famous 14th century song, "London Bridge is Falling Down". 010
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 05/06/2026I don't know. Yeah, a lot of orange cats are a much lighter shade. I may be biased, but I think it's a handsome color. 🐱 010
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 03/06/2026There were sweets around the house, like cookies and candy bars, for random snacking. But we didn't have pie or anything after dinner. I think an entire generation grew with what you describe being the common definition of strawberry shortcake. 😆 010
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Mom almost always served something sweet along with dinner, like fruit or jello. Or sugared tomatoes. I think they were quasi-desserts, since we didn't usually have dessert unless it was a special occasion. 110
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 03/06/2026My mom toasted buttered saltines in the oven when I was a kid. For some reason we called them "fried crackers". I remember really liking them. 010
dmpetersen.bsky.social @dmpetersen.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Yes, I'd completely forgotten, but we used to have sliced tomatoes with sugar when I was a kid. It was a side dish with dinner sometimes. 120
