I thought about this too. But MSNOW no longer has the backing of a legacy media network and I don't begrudge them the creative energy required to keep bringing us information we can trust.

I spent many years freelancing back in the last century. It was possible, as long as I kept telling myself "Don't panic, you're good at what you do." Now I don't believe it would be viable at all. My sympathy to those of fiercely independent spirit.

I need this solitaire game to ground me and distract me. It gets a privacy error and isn't coming back. I've tried all the hints that aren't too complicated. Can anybody help? www.solitr.com/spider-solit...

TIL If you press the nurse call button at 3:00 you won't get a response because that's shift change.

To hear Nicolle Wallace and Pete Buttigieg on The Best People, I clicked and got the message "To play explicit episodes, sign in." They might want to change that to "specific episodes." Just a thought.

I've lost my games. Words With Friends isn't on Windows any more. Spider Solitaire/Mahjong from "spidr" now shows a danger screen and I can't get in. Other games require signups and signins and whatnot. (I'm not feeling techie, so don't know how to say it.) I want to play. I'm miffed.

I'm in a good mood this morning. Oh boy, Jack Smith! And now the ancient Kennedy is berating him and I had to turn off the sound and take an alprazolam. I keep forgetting just how awful the Rs are. Sen. Coons now. Better.

It looks like my secondary insurance will pick up coverage for my medical misfortunes when they're supposed to. Erie has always come through for me, so I'll trust them now too.
