Happy Birthday @mary-anna !! [image: maxresdefault.jpg]

Wow. Sounds rough. Hope everything resolves quickly!

This is the first time I’ve heard that story. Thanks!

Good grief.

@Axtremus Think they might be looking for guaranteed retirement income? I wonder if Social Security would be included under their term "pension".

@Steve-Miller Hi, Steve. I have an immersion blender. I don’t know, maybe it’s not a very good one, but it doesn’t do what the KitchenAid can. The KitchenAid is a powerhouse…took me a while to master it (well, still not mastered). The buttons have flashing red lights as if to say, like the software prompts, “Are you sure?”

@ShiroKuro Good luck tomorrow morning! Fingers crossed for you.

@wtg OMG!! Are black bears the ones that are less aggressive? Even so, that's not the kind of roommate you want!!

Donald Trump’s drive to secure peace in Ukraine must not let Vladimir Putin off the hook for war crimes committed by Russian forces, a top EU official has warned, effectively setting a new red line for a deal. In an interview with POLITICO, Michael McGrath, the European commissioner for justice and democracy, said negotiators must ensure the push for a ceasefire does not result in Russia escaping prosecution. His comments reflect concerns widely held in European capitals that the original American blueprint for a deal included the promise of a “full amnesty for actions committed during the war,” alongside plans to reintegrate Russia into the world economy. https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-vladimir-putin-war-crimes-volodymyr-zelenskyy-ukraine/

Went to Sullivan's. It was great for Christmas. Surprised it was crowded. Were seated late at a high table in the bar. My stomach trouble makes my stomach bad when it is empty for too long. I was grumpy. Finally the food showed up. It was great, of course. Then everything was ok.

If those Trump-image coins come to pass, I will never use them. The unmitigated gall!

I really hope SCOTUS reigns in IEPA.

I love watching that guy. Thanks for the link!
