@james_j_bailey This looks like the basement of Focus on the Family on Colorado Springs where they have a little village for kids to play.

I just wired an obscene amount of money yesterday to the US Treasury and the state of Virginia.
It would be one thing if I knew that most of that money went to some public good.
But with the daily headlines of fraud and abuse, it feels like feeding a a rabid dog.

🚨BREAKING: Former Biden-era VA official John H. Windom—tasked with overseeing the massive Electronic Health Record Modernization project—has been federally indicted for concealing thousands in cash, casino chips, Louis Vuitton gift cards, and other lavish gifts from contractors. While leading the effort, Windom helped award a $10 BILLION contract to Cerner (later bought by Oracle Health). He allegedly pushed the company on 'diversity and inclusion,' leading to a $1.7M DEI-related subcontract for his circle—while raking in personal perks from a 'Power Group' of favored vendors. The result? A disastrously flawed system linked to over 4,000 cases of harm to veterans—including at least 4 deaths from scheduling errors, lost orders, and catastrophic failures. Rollout stalled after safety nightmares. This is what happens when ethics take a backseat and ideology (DEI) mixes with billion-dollar contracts. Veterans deserved better. Accountability now.

@BarkJack_ If they focused on movies/shows that were appealing to families, and not on some agenda, maybe they wouldn't be hemorrhaging money.

Disney is in the process of laying off 1000 employees now!

Buckle up, folks. Several critical incidents coming out in Washington DC. #DCCrime

@CCPISASSH0E I did enjoy being the mom who was there the whole time, cheering for kids whose parents never came. For regional meets, I would bring food, and often drove kids home with permission. They were terrific young men and women.

Track parents…why didn’t you warn us about how terrible it is?!? I’ve been every kind of sports mom there is, but track is kicking my butt. Nobody knows exactly what time any event starts, so you just show up and sit around for HOURS waiting for your child to compete for less than 10 minutes. I should never have complained about soccer 😩😆

I regret to inform you I must cancel my walkabout tomorrow. I can’t afford my own security. I’ve decided to stay home and post Erdem.
You’re welcome.

@LorenzoTheCat The used book store closest to us had a kitty named Paige.

Every bookstore should have a cat.

@jessibridges I need to meet your girls. I am 60 and still listen to the audiobooks.
Tv adaptations make me crazy.

Everyone's worried the new Little House show will depart from the story too much. But my girls are over here complaining that the original show was too different from the books and have refused to watch it past season 1. They listen to the audio books ad nauseum instead.

@ChloeChloeChl19 I made an apron when I was 17 and the bib and hem had quilting like that. I was so proud.

If you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes, do not - for the love of all that is holy - watch the Robert Downey Jr./Guy Ritchie trash. Back when they came out, I lasted about 30 minutes through the first of the two trainwrecks. When Hollywood tries to "improve" literature, nothing good ever comes of it.
You won't fare much better with the four (mercifully short) seasons of Sherlock starring Benedict Cumberbatch. He’s a very good actor and the series is generally well made, but it suffers from the fatal flaw of trying to "contemporize" a Victorian-era narrative.
Instead, do this:
1. Read Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories.
2. THEN watch the beautifully produced Granada Television series Sherlock Holmes (1984–1994) starring the brilliant Jeremy Brett.

Why haven’t you already made the leap? It’s time for copper gutter and downspouts.

@naturelife_ok I feel like that this morning because last night I took a "non-drowsy" allergy medication .
It wasn't non-drowsy.

Not me thinking we were having a funeral... i can't do this with him anymore. the drama is just too much. sleep normally i am begging you 😭

@HlthMttrsMPHRN @Bradley_Cude @MichelleDLesley It does say...based on the beloved books.
But as a book purist, all I see is the old show.
English
@Bradley_Cude @MichelleDLesley Sure, even the books are not fully accurate to the author's life. But this post is asking for a redo of the series from the 70s, not a series on the actual books.

It's Netflix. They will.
Wait for the 6th episode - just when you're letting your guard down.
Miss Beadle will be a lesbian.
Dr. Baker will be performing abortions and treating STIs.
Laura and Almanzo will be shacking up.
Ma will be a feminist and a suffragette, working some lucrative job 80 hours a week while Pa tries to make a go of it as a part time fiddler and whittler.
Nellie will be reframed as super nice and sympathetic and will be revealed as trans.
At least half the school children will be minorities.
They'll really play up how Harriet Oleson is a "Christian".
And Rev. Alden will be hanging rainbow flags outside the church for Pride month.
Bet me.

I really hope they don’t ruin this.

@CarpeEternum @edgaralandough My husband, 62, just said samurai. No hesitation.
English
@edgaralandough Especially as you get older you change from samurai to cowboy
English
I saw someone say “You can tell what you need to know about a man by asking them if they’d rather be a pirate, a cowboy, or a samurai” and honestly, I can’t find a flaw in that logic.
