@biologistimo @NShrubs @ATT I see @ATT hasn’t changed...many years ago, I discovered they had been charging my dad a monthly rental fee - for almost 20 years-for a *rotary* phone he returned decades previously. Wouldn’t refund and demanded I MAIL THE NON-EXISTENT PHONE TO THEM. They suuuuuck. Good luck!

After extensive web research whilst doing laundry, I am now convinced Kate Middleton is either negotiating the largest divorce settlement the BRF has ever paid out, is recovering from a mental health crisis, or is dead.

Yes, it is time for #FSUFootball to leave the ACC, but I won’t be satisfied until every person currently on the CFP Committee gets booted and there is an independent investigation into ESPN’s involvement with the Committee’s decision to put Alabama before FSU.

@BrittanyMeansIt @Kaffe_Takk I adopted a *very* curious kitten when my sons were all home from college for the summer. Despite my best efforts but for obvious reasons, my kiddos called him The Terrorist and it stuck. Try calling the vet and giving that name for an appointment. 🤦🏼‍♀️

@4to15character @barefootbritt @BartenderHemry As a Christian, I have a difficult time with using the Bible as a weapon, not a guide. It is impossible for me to reconcile the “Christian Right” narrative with biblical teachings. It’s entirely- as you note- a bridge that simply can’t be crossed.

@chrislongview It is hard to watch. A friend’s son died in a public bathroom from an overdose when he was 24. Hunter Biden is a recovering addict, not dead and buried, and that’s a damn miracle. His recovery is pro-life…but logic and compassion are absent in most Republicans these days.
