My facelift is this week! Wow! And The Bartender is picking me up at the hospital and we are going to then have a baecation in the Poconos! With a fireplace, a/c, balcony, and a heart shaped hot tub dear God! Actually, he’s in charge of taking care of me.

Craft Thread! I missed last week because I was asleep, lol. I’m on baby’s schedule now and she doesn’t give a fig if SNS is late.

Unfortunately, the industry has done everything it can to “self regulate”, especially in strongly Republican anti-union states where labor is cheap, wages are low, and things like “OSHA” and “inspections” are largely theoretical.  Just another side effect of voting for Jesus.
