The attached artwork represents what Thump expected. He didn't get any of that. How can such an obvious failure cost more?

As long as the room stays below 80º, the hot glue will hold. To remove his faux goldness, it may take a chisel and a hammer.

Came here to voice the same suspicion.

Nah, Modi put out his right hand, expecting T to shake it. But no, T is too fargone for a normal reaction, grabs Modi's arm to helpself up a step, then stood with a dumb look on his face.

Not really. I think they are purposefully talking down to us.

Whoa—"international organizations like Antifa" WTF! I've been a leftist since highschool. Why wasn't I invited to join?

What happens when the states who have made themselves totally red and are then overwhelmed by a blue wave that claims districts anyway? Will they simply toss blue votes in the dark of the night?

I am so upset today it was making me sick. I played some games for while, felt better, and came back to THIS! Clearly, Putin's order to his orange-colored asset was: destroy America.

Advil Cold & Sinus—the kind you have to get from the pharmacist after showing your DL—really helps to keep breathing at this time of year. Instead of taking the recommended dose every 4-6 hours, I usually only take 1 at mid-day, which gives sufficient relief. (Not a paid endorsement.)

I'm glad you can joke. For us, this period will only be funny in retrospect. Right now, it's terrifying to have so many crazy people running our country.

Even after you told me what it is and showed a picture of the plant itself, I still don't recognize it in their design. It's a BAD graphic.

It's not tinfoil when it happened before: after Kent State, mass protests slowed way down. Apparently, killing individuals who are NOT PROTESTING doesn't have the same effect.

THIS is truly mind-blowing.

This is true. When I bought mine, part of my reasoning was the space rent was cheaper than an apartment. Every year, my space rent has gone up $100 a month! But, the increase in rental rates still makes it cheaper. Sadly, I'm retired & dependent upon Social Security, which doesn't go up enough.

Thank you for saying what I came here to say. My MODULAR house cannot be driven away. Therefore, it is NOT mobile unless you break in half.

In honor of attaining 505 followers, I'm changing my profile photo to show what I actually look like. Not entirely, of course. I'm wearing cosmetics, which partially disguise how utterly old I am. Next month, I'll be 78...if I last that long.

Does that 21.3 million include all the married women who will have to revert to using their birth names? Seems like it ought to be a higher number.

He was an actor who delivered lines written by someone else. Those words were great but the man himself, not so much.

Not good. Isn't there a company in Oregon who could do this work for less?

I take breaks playing puzzle games or stream some pure entertainment. But I get tugged back by wondering what-the-fuck gawd-damned awful thing is happening now.

There's a Washington Post story headlined "Why You May Not Want Lower Prices as Much as You Think You Do". Naturally, this intriguing idea is behind a paywall but I can guess it's about the perils of rampant inflation. Am I wrong?

Obviously, if we manage a trifecta, we first need to impeach the 6 Justices who are guilty of obvious corruption.

Also, I'm sorry I got the number of my replies wrong and didn't add markers properly. I'm not a professional at this stuff. And this place really needs an edit option.

To survive without insurance, you’ll need to become aware of all the unnecessary expense that comes with insurance. It will blow your mind and you’ll be a life-long advocate for HEALTHCARE FOR ALL!

He asked, “Are you sure you won’t scream?” “Don’t worry,” I assured him, “I did natural child birth twice. This is only going to hurt for a moment, not for hours.” And it was over and done for the $60 cost of an office visit, compared to being over $3000 for doing it in a hospital.

He came back saying, “I’m sorry for smiling but this is the most direct medical aid I’ve given since I was a Medic in Vietnam. It’s kind of thrilling!” I got in position leaning over the exam table with my skirt drawn up and cautioned, “Let me know before you do it so I can lock my jaw.”

I cut him off, “I’m allergic to novocaine & don’t need anything for something you can do in a minute or less.” He dithered by bringing up his liability insurance and I countered with, “Surely, you have a waiver form.” He gleefully replied, “I think I do,” and rushed off to find one.

I had a gross boil on my butt, got referred to a General Surgeon. After his examination, he stated I’d need out-patient surgery at a nearby hospital. “I can’t afford that,” I replied, “Why can’t you lance it here right now?” He responded, “But you’ll need anesthesia, novocaine, and—.”

This didn’t keep a couple of hospitals from sending me a bill months afterwards. In each case, I reminded them of how I paid-in-full for services rendered & I’d see them in court if insisting on reneging on our deal. Now if you’ve followed this thread so far, I’ve got a funny story for you: 3/8

Sally @thecrone01.bsky.social · 26/10/2025
Since you can’t get insurance, save that money for the medical services you need to live. When checking in, use the magic phase and add, “I’ve got money to pay you.” Then write a check for the total due when you check out. 3/8

Sally @thecrone01.bsky.social · 26/10/2025
If you must have expensive shit done then NEGOTIATE before checking into the hospital or clinic. Get the deal in writing then pay-in-full on the day of your test or treatment. If they come after you later for more money, you waive the written deal to shut them down. 2/8

I spent much of my adult life WITHOUT INSURANCE. I survived using these magic words—SELF-PAY, which open up discounts for doctor visits, emergency rooms, and pharmacies. These discounts aren't charity; it's because of the endless clerical work needed to collect from insurance providers. 1/8

Gawd-dammit! He doesn't plan on ever leaving office or being held responsible for his horrible acts. I realize destroying the White House is not the worst thing he's done but the SYMBOLISM of it is gut-wenching.

Woohoo. Got my check from Facebook for $32.65. Doesn't feel like enough for selling my data to whoever multiple times.

What will the out-of-state troopers think when they see our beautiful peaceful city? There's ZERO evidence of "war ragaged" here. Will they pick up trash like those in DC did?

I think they ought to postpone this event until weather is cooler. The risk of heat strokes is too high.

Could someone explain to me the justification the Repubs are using to allow them to give Billionaires MORE tax breaks? Or are they doing it without any explanation at all?
