I need a old fashion girls name that will fit her! Hmm 😒 🤔?¿

@jazzy_usa2 @sandibachom @hwinkler4real Yes that is what I was given

@hwinkler4real In the 1950s when Salk vaccine was invented. I was in grammar school in Hollywood and my grandmother who was a Christian scientist wouldn’t let me go to school to get the shot or sugar cube. The ONLY reason I didn’t get it was everyone was vaccinated.

@Ames2420 Yep!

I am jealous of the people that had this kinda childhood. I am guessing this was maybe in the 60's... early 70's... maybe.

@stan_sdcollins Gorgeous capture, Stan!

A sunset along the coast near Rocky Harbour. These occur at almost 8PM as the days continue to get longer now. Soon it will be daylight until 10PM as we get closer to summer.

@stan_sdcollins Totally agree with you Stan! Hope no one is giving you too much grief for speaking the truth!

Again, to all of my loyal followers my political comments recently are not because we suddenly dislike our American friends. They are because we dislike Trump constantly disrespecting Canada, our Prime Minister, and his threats to take us over. I am sure you would feel the same.

@thejackhopkins I see it

How many people can see this post? Let me know, then...in a while...I'll tell you why. Thanks.

@stan_sdcollins Wow, Stan, you get the BEST moon pics!

How many of you were fortunate enough to have clear enough skies to see the full moon last night like this one over Rocky Harbour. This one is called the Wolf Moon.

@stan_sdcollins Happy Birthday Stan! Glad to see you’re feeling a bit better as well !

Last night was my birthday and the Mrs. cooked me this wonderful steak dinner. Life has been good. Many years ago my objective was to live until I was 75 so eating steak on my 77 birthday is a real bonus!

@JoJoFromJerz 9, 1, 2

What’s your top 3?

@LakotaMan1 I see you

So, I think bonehead (Elon Musk) is obstructing my viewership. Again. Please, tell me, can you see this tweet? Do you see me?

🐾 💔Today, my beloved Tiki, my loyal companion for nearly 18 years, has crossed the rainbow bridge. 🌈 🐾 My heart is shattered, and the depth of my sorrow is beyond words. The void left behind is truly indescribable. We found out in mid-August that Tiki had a cancerous tumor in his lung and there was nothing they could do for him. It would be weeks, not months. It was devastating news. But were weren’t ready to give up on him and Tiki wasn’t ready to go yet either. I’m incredibly grateful to my mom and stepdad for helping us give Tiki the best care possible during his final weeks. Thanks to their tireless efforts, we were able to have a few more weeks with him than anyone expected. They are the best caretakers anyone could ask for. Tiki was such a little warrior through it all, even until his last breath. He held on through our anniversary and my birthday, almost as if he wanted to give me one last celebration with him. But today, he let us know, it was time. Nothing prepares you for their departure from your life, especially when they’ve been a part of it for so long. Tiki was there for every milestone of my life for the last 18 years, most importantly when I first met my husband. Many know the story of how he infamously had to pass the “Tiki Test” when we first starting dating and thankfully he did with flying colors! When Tiki crawled up on his lap the first time he met him, I knew he was the one. Tiki chose him too! They became best buddies. Tiki travelled to so many places with me over the years …from late nights in my Capitol Hill office to our road trips back and forth to Jersey in his Giants gear and trips down the shore, to flying back and forth to the Florida Keys (where my mom originally rescued him from and brought him to me) to Harvard for my resident fellowship, to my first apartment to our first house…Tiki has been a part of it all. So many wonderful memories captured over the years that I will cherish forever. Tiki was the coolest, most extraodinary cat and everyone loved him. Although the time with our four legged family members is never long enough…Tiki’s spirit, unconditional love and the joy he brought to my life and Marcelle’s will live on forever in our hearts. He’ll always be a part of me. Having the “Tikster” as my little buddy for all these years will always be one of my greatest blessings. I know he’s up there in kitty heaven enjoying endless “somethings” and purring away. Even though losing Tiki today feels like a piece of my heart has been taken, I find solace in the belief that one day we will be reunited in heaven, where he will greet me with the same warmth and affection and “kissies” he shared with us in life; until then, I will keep his memory alive, embracing the bond and unconditional love we shared every day.

@silverpebble Your art photos are beautiful and calming!

My ex wasn’t a cheerleader of mine. He told me regularly my twitter was crap & no one cared. Sorry to ask this but he’s been negging me massively again this week-if you’ve ever seen one of my photos or tweets & it lifted your mood or made you feel a bit less alone,maybe say hi? x

@VABVOX Hugs

So I am pretty horribly sick, friends. Being treated at home for now, but if I'm unimproved by Wednesday I have to go back to the hospital, which I do not want. But I also don't want to die. I have too much unfinished work. Harrowing time for me. #Cancer is brutal. The pain is obliterating. Prayers and healing energy welcome. Quite scared.

@mamakatie64 @sandibachom @MiaFarrow Small pox?

@stan_sdcollins You captured that light just right!

Just another fence study. I have always enjoyed photographing all manner of fences.

@stan_sdcollins Well we used dandelions in west Michigan; no buttercups around our place! Same idea, though.

There are buttercups growing all over the place. How many of you remember holding them under each other’s chins as children to determine whether or not you liked butter?

@JakeSherman Blacks for Trump.

@ConserveLetters Groovy

Curious about my audience - what term resonates best with you? If your term didn't make my list put it in the comments!

@broadwaybabyto So very sorry you had to go through this! And glad you found a detail-oriented doc who listened!

Addendum: Had I not trusted my intuition and sought help elsewhere - or worse had I actively TRIED to lose weight since he suggested it was wright gain - my condition would have become dire even faster. Imagine telling a malnourished patient they need to LOSE weight.

Turns out it was a combination of third spacing from my MCAS (when the fluid doesn’t stay in the vascular system & leaks out into the tissues - can be a big issue if you have POTS as well) and low albumin. Dangerously low albumin. /5

I’ve earned numerous degrees from secular and religious universities. I’ve been blessed to teach and give speeches at major universities on the topics of History and philosophy. I’ve engaged in life giving dialogue with men and women of totally different beliefs than I and through it all, I’ve stayed strong in my convictions. But today, an atheist posted a meme and now I must renounce Catholicism.
