Introverted extrovert/extroverted introvert. Depends on which way I’m facing. I write some. 🫘🥑

My wee man, Hammy MacBaconfat. We celebrated his 14th birthday in style! This pic looks like the cover of his indie-rock album.

A wee Scottish Terrier in front of several multi colored balloons and two big silver Mylar balloons in the shape of 14. He has the most amazing grey beard.

A long, long time ago. On a website far, far away, we did rejection letter poetry. Let’s play the game again! #writingcommunity #writers

A partially blacked out rejection letter. The only words you can see say “Dear M, Thank you for sending in your brief essay “That split screen moment” blessed a large number of excellent submissions. Sincerely, The Editors”

@ologies.bsky.social I wanted to THANK YOU for the episode on MS. Both of my parents have primary progressive MS. They’ve each had it for 40-something years, dad is 80, mom is 77. I’m 50 and dad’s primary caregiver. I’m an armchair expert, but still learned a lot. Hugs to you, Ali, and Fancy Nancy!

There is no magic Constitution Fairy that’s going to come down and turn Little Bunny Foo Foo into a goon for bopping field mice on the head.

I have now deleted all of my posts over on the bad place. Keeping my handle so no one else can take it. I’ll be sticking around here where the skies are blue! Here’s a picture of my wee man, Hammy.

A black Scottish Terrier with a crazy beard that he napped on too hard.

I wrote this in 2019, but it stands up. It was pinned to the top of my page on The Bad Place: Lovely dinner last night with an old friend and two co-workers of hers. Chatted first, just “how’re you doing.” Someone said, “Well, I mean, I’m ok, CONSIDERING.” Everyone held their breath for a beat.

A “what if” question posed by my cousin: What if Sen. McCain/Justice Roberts hadn’t saved the GOP from themselves and let Obamacare die? Where would we be now? I posit that we would be wrapping up Hillary’s second term…

I loved this movie and this review. I have never owned a Barbie in my life. But DAMN if I wasn’t snort-laughing and tearing up!
