I’m kinda boring but I enjoy reading others’ posts. 🤷🏻‍♀️ She/Her Boston-adjacent.

Those are really cool! No pics handy, but all of mine are basic ones from a pharmacy, in a variety of interesting/pretty colors. HOWEVER, they all have the cane tips that let them (mostly) stand on their own. (And when they do fall over, I can stand them up again with my foot - no bending.😉)

Hngh. When I clicked that link I got a slightly _different_ headline: “The Overlooked Black History of Memorial Day” (Still implying it was just an oopsie, of course. 🤨)

One of today’s 10,000! (US-centricity, aside.) m.xkcd.com/1053/ 😉

I TRY NOT TO MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE FOR ADMITTING THEY DON'T KNOW THINGS.
BECAUSE FOR EACH THING "EVERYONE KNOWS” BY THE TIME THEYRE ADULTS, EVERY DAY THERE ARE, ON AVERAGE, 10,000 PEOPLE IN THE US HEARING ABOUT IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. 

IF I MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE, I TRAIN THEM NOT TO TELL ME WHEN THEY HAVE THOSE MOMENTS.
AND I MISS OUT ON THE FUN.

Two figures.
First says:
"DIET COKE AND MENTOS THING? WHAT'S THAT?”
Second says:
“OH MAN! COME ON, WE'RE GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE.”
First:
“WHY?”
Second:
“YOU'RE ONE OF TODAY'S LUCKY 10,000.”

I was quite envious of her napping ability even as I worked a few feet away…

I keep thinking of the scene from “Andor” with one Senator saying: “They don’t even bother to lie badly any more. I suppose that’s the final humiliation.”

Post a team you would send instead of Bongino and Patel.
Wynonna and Waverly Earp are investigating a creepy location.

Waverly: “Should we call in the team?”

Wynonna: “Baby girl, we IS the team.”

She’s no Starter Villain, but I always lock my screen when I step away from the desk, nevertheless.
A fluffy white and black cat is standing on my messy desk, one back paw near the keyboard.

She is staring at the camera with a look somewhere between “I’m innocent” and “So what are you gonna do about it?”

Thank you. Please accept this picture of Isabeau (Empress of Yowl) in return.

She is trying to send telepathic messages about the state of her food bowl but the human is clearly too foolish to understand.

Juliana left us nearly a year ago. We miss that grumpy demanding bossy girl.
Close up of a soft gray cat. Her slightly furrowed brow indicates she is not sure WHY the camera is so close but she’ll allow it, for the moment.

Oh! For a second I had hope…
Three panels.

Top panel: Wynonna Earp glares and says “You’ve made an enemy this Friday!”

Middle: Handsome man (whose name escapes me) replies “It’s Tuesday.”

Bottom: Wynonna, looking over her shoulder as she leaves, mutters: “good to know.”

I keep a pair of long-handled kitchen tongs near the laundry so I can reach the small things at the bottom of the washer and the back of the dryer. I also have a couple more in the kitchen primarily for getting things from the top shelves of the cupboards.

Unpopular opinion:
When you see teens doing donuts in empty parking lots... let them.
There is no better way to learn how to control and correct a car sliding in snow than practicing sliding in snow. Donuts are teaching them to control their sliding car, even if they don't realize it is.
Better in an empty lot than on busy road

I'm so tired of being told, "We disagree politically, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends!" Dude, if your political opinion is that children shouldn't be fed, that the poor shouldn't be housed, that the sick shouldn't be cared for, that women shouldn't control their bodies, that Americans can't marry who they love, or that certain people shouldn't exist...
Yes, that most definitely means that we can't be friends.

Two people talking:

First says “it’s Tuesday.”
The other replies, “Good to know.”

This one thought she was getting French toast for breakfast…
A table with a red cloth, a red-coated nutcracker, and plates of French toast (pushed away from the edge.)

A gray cat is sitting at the head of the table.

She is staring angrily at the photo-taker, probably because she now knows she won’t get any of the French toast…

I have lately been fondly recalling a silly movie from years ago wherein the hero inherits a time-stopping watch. I imagine being able to Stop Time simply so I could sleep. 🛌 😌 Those of you “of a certain age” may recall it, too. 😉
Ad image for the movie, “The girl, the gold watch, & everything”. 
This was a TV movie from 1980, starring Robert Hays and Pam Dawber.

We went there last year and that shuttle made it possible for me to enjoy it.
“Giants Causeway” looks like a hill made primarily of stone pillars. 

This shot included a number of people climbing the hill and taking pictures. 
The sky behind it is a brilliant blue with a few clouds.

Yup. We got stuck on the not-at-home side of the flooded road for several hours yesterday. Saw many flatbeds hauling dripping cars away… and a few still stuck ‘cause the water was too deep for the trucks to get ‘em. The cat was NOT HAPPY about the length of that trip to vet. Poor lil thing.
