Yes, with the story I mentioned, I checked again and here is what it said from NBC. I am guessing the child was being treated at MD Anderson, which...

I hope that they can do so, and yes, there was nothing about how she could have stayed with a temporary guardian. I think it's terrible that they...

This makes me think I should give a copy of mine to my son who is backup POA if my husband is not available. Duh.

It's a cookbook!

Yesterday he signed another one of his unconstitutional EO's, which dismantles 7 more agencies, including these, according to the Hill: "The...

Kay, that's awful. I have had horses and this has always been my nightmare scenario and what scares me about getting them again. Down in South...

I have been buying books on Thriftbooks. I used Amazon to buy and send my grandson his birthday present, though. Just bought my son's birthday...

Yes, we are losing a whole generation of scientists here. The structure that supports learning and growth is being dismantled. I will check out the...

Sorry, Rogar, it looks like you said what I was trying to say, only you said it a lot more clearly and a lot better!

Yes, they are destroying everything they can, as fast as they can. Interestingly, the probationary status seems different in the fed system a lot...

Here is another thing I read that prompted this thread--note, RIF'ed is not the same as the mass probationary firings: "The entirety of the...

This is one of the emails I received that prompted me to start this thread: At times like these, Native students need your support and advocacy more...

Tip # 2, make your tidiest garden be in an area that is fenced in, so that your dogs can be out there with you. This is why my backyard gardens look...

Oh my gosh I love David Austin roses! The idea that they might be stalking me and trying to sell me roses is really attractive.

Wonderful, happystuff, enjoy!

So glad you got rid of one of the teeth!

Very happening case right now: gov.uscourts.dcd.277463.45.1.pdf (courtlistener.com)

I don't know; one time I had that problem and went on Paypal and it was listing the old address, and I changed it, but it sounds like you already had...

Thanks!

Yes, there's a lot of that going around, "I've got mine."

I read today that they scrubbed photos of the Enola Gay off of the DOD website because of the name.

All I have done so far is to change my allocation so that I only have about 20% in stocks. I have looked into how to open a bank account in Canada,...

I have never until this past couple of weeks felt that I had to watch what I said in a classroom or a curriculum to avoid being reported on a DOE...

Spring sunshine and time on the boat is coming!!

I am so sorry, TMS! Those are hard decisions you have to make. I hope they can get you out of the discomfort caused by this chemo treatment fast.

Thanks, Rosa!

It will be quick and heal within a couple of days--we've all had ours done and it was one sleepy day and then a few days of pain and all better...

Under His Eye.

Here's another story about word banning, this time from a university reacting to Trump's threat to remove their funding if they did not remove DEI...

Thanks, happy, getting followup MRIs hopefully next week, had to cancel last week due to snow.

Not so much boycotting but definitely cutting back, due to concerns about where this economy is going. It must have been noted by Amazon because...

Chicken Marbella in a dutch oven with chicken breasts, potatoes we grew, portobello mushrooms, capers, red wine vinegar sauce, and trash lettuce!

Here's another story about it. Trump plans to revoke legal status for hundreds of thousands Ukrainians who fled Russian invasion (msn.com) It...

Thanks, Rob, that sounds like a good fit. I was interested in Costa Rica til I looked at a map and realized how far away it was!

I was horrified to learn that Trump is revoking legal status to 240,000 Ukranian immigrants: Trump plans to revoke legal status of Ukrainians who...

Actually, under your argument, only some unauthorized immigrants are criminals. To enter illegally is considered a crime. If they entered legally...

It being Shrove Tuesday, we had plattar with lingonberries this morning and that will be the big meal of the day.

Wow, I am astounded. Good luck to you.

It really sounds like you are defending the wholesale firings, which I find really hard to understand. The firings are just the first step, as the...
