@OPPDCares Why can’t we get info about when power will be restored? Still out at 84th and Broadmoor Drive

Power restored in one of two Thursday outages - is.gd/YYY7Nr

@kjmatz @goodreads This is a great book!

@goodreads Starting this one!

It's Friday! What are you reading this weekend?

One yr ago, @LeeEntNews used our help & your help to fend off vulture hedge fund Alden Global Capital’s attempt to purchase its papers. So what did you do, Lee, w/that collective goodwill? Pls tell us & pls tell @WarrenBuffett you didn’t plan on becoming the vulture all along.🤔

@heatherbacon03 @azrepublicguild @angelmendoza___ @Gannett A copy editor would have fixed “your” to “you’re.”

@azrepublicguild @angelmendoza___ @Gannett Maybe you are actually getting paid at the level of what your worth. Why is it so important to hire people of color?

Today, members of the Arizona Republic Guild are walking out for one day in response to @Gannett’s decimation of local newsrooms and its refusal to commit to equitable pay, outsourcing protections and affordable benefits in our first contract. 🧵 #GannettWalkout

@omahamusicguy Favorite: Too hard… between Loretta Lynn at the Holland, Nick Lowe and Mavis Staples at the Holland, Springsteen at CHI, the Eagles at CHI and Harry Chapin at the Civic

@omahamusicguy First: (no judging allowed): Bobby Sherman Most recent: New Kids on the Block etc. in a suite At Pinnacle a few weeks ago; Mercy Me at Baxter a couple months before that.

What was your: - First concert? - Most recent concert? - Favorite concert?

@conservmillen They are required in the airport as well as the plane.

A random dude behind in me in line at the airport just said to me, “I think you’re missing your face mask.” (I don’t wear it until I have to) I told him I’m good. I can’t believe people are still doing this 😵‍💫

@omahamusicguy That is one of mine, Kevin. But the worst is “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” sung by a kid who sounds like an adult trying to sound like a kid. Yuck. And “Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas” is a close runner-up.

What’s your least favorite Christmas song? Mine is A Marshmallow World. Can’t stand it.

Must-read piece about Alden the assassin. Then join the resistance by dropping a few lines to Lee’s board, via omahaletterstolee@gmail.com

@AshleeCoffeyOWH @mslizlord Please do

@betsiefreeman @mslizlord Her name is Donna. Sweet lady. I can pass on her contact info in a DM if you want!

Is it normal to want to crazy clean before the cleaning person comes? (Speaking as a first-timer.)

@AshleeCoffeyOWH @mslizlord Who did you get to clean?

@mslizlord This is anxiety on a whole other level for me. I’m in the other room and I just want to help her. Lol 🙈

@AshleeCoffeyOWH Posting truthful information. Treating people with respect on social media. Knowing how to figure out if a source is reliable.

Digital Citizenship class number two today. I’m curious: what does digital citizenship mean to you?

@KristynaEngdahl We found an empty bird nest under our car. 😥

Clearly I’ve already walked around my yard with a flashlight to make sure there weren’t any stranded baby birds to rescue. 😅🐣 Limbs down all over #Aksarben. Stay safe everyone!

@ebarker111 @OWHnews Editing mistake. 😟

Each year, ballpark chefs prepare their new College World Series food items for a preview with The World-Herald. Check out what @betsiefreeman discovered about this year's menu: omaha.com/dining/taste-o…

@MikelSevere Still have to endure the Vandy Whistler however.

No Pig Sooey.

@TimTrudell2 @randyessex @OWHnews Thanks!

@randyessex @OWHnews @betsiefreeman Excellent choices

You're extra hungry now. I am, anyway. omaha.com/entertainment/… via @owhnews @betsiefreeman

@SBHOmaha Baker’s delivered the groceries to the other family ... y post made it sound like I did.

Anyone else regularly experience picking up groceries and at least two bags aren’t things you ordered? I am sorry to the person who did not get their green bean casserole ingredients, loaf of Sara Lee bread and can of cranberry sauce. I have them.

@SBHOmaha My favorite, however, is the bulk package of ramen noodles (like you would get from Costco) that made its way into our order when I didn’t order even a small package of ramen.

@SBHOmaha Another time Hy-Vee delivered us an extra 10-pound bag of potatoes. 20 pounds of potatoes is pretty excessive for two people.
