I tried to use it once for otc stuff they sell (can’t even remember what it was) and their website simply wouldn’t let me proceed without a prescription.

@wtg said: A federal judge has blocked President Trump from adding his name to the Kennedy Center, saying that the Washington, D.C. arts complex was named for the late president John F. Kennedy. In a ruling on Friday, the judge also temporarily blocked the administration from closing the Kennedy Center for a planned two-year renovation that was slated to begin in July. U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper wrote in his ruling that: "The Kennedy Center's organic statute makes crystal clear that the Center is to be named for President Kennedy, and it cannot bear any other formal name or public memorial based on the Board's unilateral say-so. Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it." https://www.npr.org/2026/05/29/nx-s1-5839349/president-trump-kennedy-center-name-judge-order I thought that might happen. Good.

@Mik said: Pandora's box was opened from 2015 on. What happened in 2015?

@wtg said: A book about a piano tuner. Thanks, I added it to my list. This reminds me of something I listened to as an audiobook. The title is unfortunately a bit generic, but I really enjoyed it. Love Is Blind, by William Boyd The description makes it just sound like a cheesy romance, but as I recall, there's a lot about piano tuning and music in there that elevated it beyond that. When he is hired as the personal piano tuner for a brilliant pianist, Brodie Moncur suddenly finds himself swept up into a life of luxury that he could never have imagined. But while accompanying his new employer on tours from Paris to St. Petersburg, Brodie falls madly in love with the Russian soprano Lika Blum: beautiful, worldly, seductive—and forbidden. Though seemingly doomed from the start, Brodie’s passion for Lika only grows as their lives become increasingly more intertwined, more secretive, and, finally, more dangerous. A tale of dizzying passion and brutal revenge; of artistic endeavor and the illusions it can create; of the possibilities that life offers and the cruel speed with which they can be snatched away, Love Is Blind is a dazzling work of historical fiction that unfolds across fin de siècle Europe.

Stopped at the grocery store on the way home from day rehav; Mr wtg's first trip to a grocery store since late February. We decided to celebrate... Jeni's was on sale for $4.99 a pint. We got the Gooey Butter Cake (not bad but wouldn't buy again) and the Lemon and Blueberry Parfait (am going back to buy three more). Also got Haagen Dazs Rum Raisin. It was OK, but a bit grainy. Ice crystals.

Nevermind. Losing interest fast.

I have three rose bushes that are of the own root variety, no grafting. All three of them took a big hit this past winter. Two started sending out new shoots pretty early in spring but the third looked like it was toast; I almost dug it up. Lo and behold, probably three weeks later, I saw what appeared to be tiny buds. It hasn't caught up to the others but it is definitely still alive!

Another tidbit to show how content free the report was... Ramesh Ponuru in the Washington Post pointed out that the word “inflation” shows up 18 times in the report. But each time talking about how the cost of ad spend and other campaign expenses have gone up. Not once talking about the affordability issues that played such a big role in voter dissatisfaction.

I'm imagining the judge's reaction in court.

She may have memory problems.

Not perfect, but the difficulty level is off the charts: Link to video

@wtg Don't eat them

I plan to get receipts and never let anyone approach me and I'll make sure the pump resets. At almost $5 I don't doubt scammers are as ubiquitous as mosquitoes.

Happy Birthday!

I live at 9000 ft for a reason.
