    Hi. I suppose everyone has retired for the evening as I post this. Nice warm day today. I had a lovely 10 mile bike ride, then did some gardening. With the spot of rain we had Monday, and the warm...

    Thanks for the link from April 26. Do you have something more current? If the debt ceiling isn't raised in time, seniors will not get SS checks, providers will not Medicare payments, some...

    Yes, Dianah, lovely pictures. I should take some of the garden I'm volunteering at, they are just now starting to come into bloom. I was there this morning, and in amongst some of the taller...

    Some cuts on spending? Like social security, Medicare, SNAP? We have to cut grandma's benefits, or crash the world economy. Who is holding who

    I feel like the Democrats have actually found an effect message: the GOP is holding the economy hostage to preserve tax cuts for the

    Hi Tweety & Joe. And those who peek in later. I'm taking a little break from pulling weeds. I get a little short of breath and nauseous if I bend over for anytime at all. And I'm getting a...

    I woke up a gentle rain falling this morning, which dh's newly planted garden can use. I went for a run, and the rain picked up! I think I was thoroughly soaked by the time I was finished. Then home...

    The election 2024 Thread

    nursej22 replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    As a Washingtonian, I don't think DeSantis has much to offer. Our state is close to 50/50 between progressives and conservatives. Progressives are put off with the anti-woke, anti-reproductive choice...

    Good morning. Thank you for the photos, Tweety. The Duke campus looks lovely. I've found many university campuses have some awesome architecture. Speaking of the destruction of Canada geese, I've read...

    Good afternoon. The weather is a balmy 70 degrees. There is a bit of a haze in the air; smoke from fires in Montana and Alberta have drifted in. It's not bad enough to make one cough, and sunsets are...

    Ah, home from driving to and from Seattle. Traffic wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. Echo was basically unchanged. My bp was high, 150/70, but it hangs at 100/70 at home. No change in meds, except...

    nursej22 replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Really? That's a broad generalization. Do you have anything to back that up? The doctors and nurses I know seem pretty knowledgeable about what's going on in the world, as opposed to the comments I...

    My bad, my intended sarcasm did not come through. No, I don't think the GOP meant to impact agriculture and construction. I don't think they gave it any thought at all. I hope their constituents are...

    Ooh, Dianah, those are neat pictures. Yes, the desert is fascinating and I enjoy visiting, but the heat can be overwhelming. I always wonder how people in the 1800s ever survived. Gosh, you...
