I’m a turtle mom who likes to do things on turtle time & likes to take a brief pause to appreciate Mother Nature’s beauty. I believe healthcare is a human right & I believe every human being needs to be treated with respect, dignity and compassion. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

I looked up via Google the estimated population of metro LA is about 12.9 million. The estimated population of metro San Diego is about 2.3 million. Thats about 15 million innocent civilians. In what universe is this morally ok?! GOP was silent about it today. This is just scary and wrong!

There also needs to be a limit how much a med’s price can go up annually for life sustaining meds like insulin, breathing medications, cancer drugs, antivirals & antibiotics. If a pt needs the med or treatment to live, all efforts must be made to assist the patient to afford the med. 2/2

Check out the serious rip of the GOP by Senator Booker today. He really sums up the criminal dysfunction on the federal level going on. It should sicken every American who believes in the rule of law. www.ms.now/ms-now/watch...

On this day 25 yrs ago on 9/11, I lived in the Boston area. I was getting ready for work near a military base when the 1st tower was attacked & appeared on the news. Spouse & I worked from home that day. We didn’t know the extent of the attacks and if military bases would be attacked & by who…

I am happy to report my big girl 🐢has worked hard and is down another 15 grams on her vet prescribed diet. The growth on her butt(not cancer per vet) is no longer irritated from rubbing on her shell. The vet is pleased and so is turtle mom. Good work my big lovable turtle girl 😊❤️🐢

US lawmakers! Get off your butts & ban the cancer causing forever chemicals! If you care about making the US more healthy, you can start there. Feed our kids healthy foods & water not tainted with forever chemicals. Use OUR tax money to help US taxpayers. Not megarich jet setting selfishness.

I wish you good luck. ❤️ Definitely brave to eat packaged salads if you live in the US. I suspect companies which make these kinds of salads will go out of business or see salad sales drop 60-70 percent if not already. 🤦‍♀️

There should be a requirement of a passed empathy test in order to run for president of the US. If a candidate doesn’t have any empathy, they are missing a key skill to perform the job well. Move on to another candidate.

My 1 overweight 20 yr turtle went to the vet today. She hasn’t been eating her veggies. Not like she doesn’t get them. Vet gave her a vitamin shot & wants her to eat veg 5 days/week & 2 days/week she can have pellets & insects. Any ideas to help get my turtle to eat veg? My other 3 turtles eat veg.🤔

As a turtlemom, I treasure this photo of my first adopted turtle girl who passed from cancer years ago. The small turtle is now grown up and is my largest girl now. They shared a close bond. As a mom, you always remember and treasure your kids. Be it 2 legs or 4 legs. You want the best for them. ❤️

Good advice.👍You or a family member try to write down everything changed/added to medicine list, new allergies,new medical problem or treatment/surgery to problem list so other members of medical team outside the hospital can be filled in. Theres a real delay getting records to primarycare offices.

Using 🍊logic that states should pay for childcare and healthcare and the federal government pays for military defense. So, does that mean 85% of our tax money we pay should go to the state we live in, then instead? Just checking…

He wonders why allies are saying no to helping the US in the strait of Hormuz. His highness didn’t consult with allies before giving the orders to start a war with Iran. With Bush, the US was attacked on 9/11. So, our allies helped us b/c the US didn’t start it. This time, the US started it.

Call your senators & tell them NO! on Save Act HR 22. If the s*xist voter suppression bill passes: If not in the military but have real ID but it’s NOT from NY,WA,VT,MI or MN, you will need to find money(voter tax on married women)to get a passport or change your name back to your maiden name.☹️

Cleaned my tortoise boy’s face today with a warmed up Q-tip. He is more apt to allow a wet warmed Q-tip to gently wipe his face clean of any dust debris and any skin segment shedding about his nose & top of head. I’m careful of his eyes of course. Afterwards, he suns under the lights.

So, I drove by a gas station with cheapest gas is $3.499 per gallon today. 2 days ago it was 3.299. So, about 10 cents a day the price goes up. It will be 10 days to bring it to $4.499 per gallon if the rate of increase stays the same.

Thought exercise- We are told the US is oil self sufficient. In 7 days, gas prices have gone up over 30 cents a gallon. 1) The US isn’t oil self sufficient. Or- 2) Oil companies are fleecing US consumers because they can get away with it. I’m thinking it’s 2.☹️

Let’s see… 1 billion dollars a day for a war in Iran. How much food and healthcare would that pay for in that same day for the sick, elderly and the poor in the US? Never claim to be God loving when the most basic teachings of Jesus to help the poor, the sick and the stranger are ignored.

Check with your county board of elections to see if you are still registered to vote.(call them or use their secure website).Too many states are just purging voter rolls because they can. I checked mine today. I‘m registered. Will check again in a few months to be sure it’s still the case.

I saw the movie, Respect, about the life of Aretha Franklin. Gave me goose bumps hearing her heavenly vocals. I can only imagine what she might have sung in our present to give us strength to carry on & give us hope for a better future. She was an incredible inspiration to so many & she is missed.❤️🙏
