Given that I know someone currently on a flight to PHL, this is not good news.

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers
Picture is of four young people leaning in to the camera. They appear to have insect wings on their backs. 
Text reads: “the World of Sid & Marty Kroft. The Bugaloos” the two Os in the title appear to be squinty eyes.

It’s always a good day when sparklies show up from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social And look how well the earring match my new dress!
Two pairs of earrings, two 3D printed rainbow resin whistles and part of a white hand wearing a sparkly ring all set on a teal background.

I had shingles three times before I gave up on my insurance covering the vaccine and paid for it myself since I was supposedly too young for it. I was lucky that I didn’t end up with persistent pain. I never want another bout with it!

I got a sympathy card from the women in my dorm that reminded me that I had a life that wasn’t on the family farm and I needed to go back to school after my father died.

I got a pretty in the mail from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social !!!!! It’s even prettier in person than it was on the site.
A white hand laying on a green, gold and white blanket. A gorgeous rectangular peridot (green stone) ring is on the ring finger.

FFS. He has obviously never toured it. Besides the obvious “this is a dumb idea” take, $152m wouldn’t even begin to be enough. It also doesn’t consider the ongoing costs. Then again, he never does.

And part of the recently installed closet organizer has failed. The original lasted 30 years. The replacement clips are failing in less than a year. Didn’t really want a new project.

My new passport has arrived! I am extremely happy about this. I’m also happy that the picture looks far less like a mugshot than the previous one. I am unhappy that my husband’s passport status is unknown. I may just have to leave him home when I go to Europe this summer.

ST TNG S5 E5 - in this one Picard breaks his ankle and has to console scared children. Given my recent ankle break, this episode hits very differently. I was wincing with him as he climbed the turbo lift ladder. Ouch!

We took behind the wheel in the summer driving a GIGANTIC school station wagon. When we got on the highway the first time, I got briskly up to and then over speed (55 was a thing). The teacher leaned over to see how fast we were going and said, “yeah, you’ve done this before.”

My taste buds/sensory spectrum say D. My biology says G. I have never liked cherries (except for fresh Rainiers or real Luxardo cocktail cherries). I adore Almond clusters, but alas, my body does not believe that almonds are food.

Post a tree that you photographed
Elephant Tree (Torote) that has a Cardón cactus growing through its trunk. Front tree has light gray bark and a bulbous trunk. Twining branches end in very small gray-green leaves. The cactus growing through its trunk has several large ribbed post-shaped appendages reaching for the sky.

Once again, immigration is not even a problem. Immigrants are not more criminal, they don't cost jobs, they don't harm the economy. There is no reason for any of this. It is hurting ourselves to hurt them.

#4 The Black Wolf Dammit! I wanted to escape and I get a plot that should be bonkers, but seems like current events. And I couldn’t put it down.

Who just saved >$1300 today? Why, yes, it’s me! Dealership wanted $1500 to replace my radio because the touchscreen failed. Ordered a new screen plate on eBay and replaced it myself. Ha! And, yes, it works.
