Third tornado warning in the past 4 days. Probably not our last one tonight. Happy hour in the basement sounds like an excellent idea!

Of course! Happy to help.

I do want to point out that I certainly have to order them an advance, they don’t exactly arrive in two days. I tend to order two dozen at a time and hang onto them for use as necessary.
I get them from altruan.com

I just order them and they arrive. I do nothing special.

I’ve been getting these 4:1 tests shipped from Germany to the US for years now. $5.50ish each- that includes international shipping. Glad other brands are finally available in the US, but those prices are way more.

I like that you said name 3 things. Made me look more carefully!

I am so angry with myself for being fooled, but maybe I can save just one person from being scammed too!

These election results are giving me so much hope! Inject that stuff straight into my veins!!🎉🔥🔥

I need a dislike button bc it is so true.
My brain is now stuck on “What if Congress never reconvenes?”

Noted. Esp the salonpas lidocaine patches!

It was killing me to wait- and keep searching here for updates, and haranguing the Costco folks- but it paid off!😁

Costco in Loves Park IL has Novavax! Got my booster today. Thought I’d let my peeps know if you are looking. 😁

So does this mean Costco will now start administering COVID shots? I was told yesterday they could not administer them bc the CDC has not signed off on them.

It is v. frustrating to know what to do but be unable to do it bc of crap tools. (Or stress brain!)

Yesterday one of my tires blew. I was helped by a kind man who had much better tools than I.
Suggestion: evaluate your tire tools. $55 got me a 2 ton Jack and better lug nut wrench. I learned to use the jack & used the labeler to add instructions for my future self. Now I am much better prepared.

This is super cool!

Seriously sir. Stop. Sending. Our. Federal. Tax. Dollars. Hold them in escrow.

Where are you located? (You can dm for privacy)
Maybe can help.

Proud of my gov! @govpritzker.illinois.gov
Now please also tell the comptroller and the treasurer to divest our pensions from federal bonds and to keep our federally withheld taxes in escrow and away from the feds while they are doing unconstitutional shit. Why bankroll this stuff??

I want one who can speak a coherent sentence.

Whooooo hoooooo!

Same- in my mid years. Or using the phrase, “Don’t piss on my boots and tell me it’s raining”

Absolutely love the pod. Was so tickled my good news made it on air this week! Please keep going- you keep us all going!

I am SO HAPPY

I’m officially retired!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

A Chronically Ill Earth: COVID Organizing as a Model Climate Response in Los Angeles BY VIOLET AFFLECK I spent the January fires in Los Angeles arguing with my mother in a hotel room. She was shell-shocked, astonished at the scale of destruction in the neighborhood where she raised…

A brilliant essay on the relationships of: the COVID pandemic, climate change, the disabled community and the maddening indifference to it all.

Written by Violet Affleck: someone who sees the big picture and is making a difference.
