I feel ya! I grew up in Ohio and the winters can be brutal , but I don’t rememeber 63 degrees in December. Days after single digits? Wierd. Hang in there. Fall is almost over :)

So sorry you hurt your rib, that really smarts. The commute on Wednesday was epic, took 5 hours to get 20 miles. Max was running, but buses and cars were at a standstill because, as you say, cars couldn’t get up inclines, even slight ones. I thought I would never get home, ended by walking up Powell in the icy wind…

For what it’s worth, I am always uncomfortable talking about race, so I listen to POC experiences to inform about what is up. Then, I support the requested changes. As a person that was raised by racists ( they don’t think they are, but they SO are) , I act on the behalf of anyone that is marginalized, because I see…

Was it Tilda contacting Margaret about it in the first place that is a wrong move? Tilda said feel free not to respond if she didn’t want to. I get the whitewashing and agree with Cho about that. It’s really bad that awesome Asian stories would need a white actor to be seen or even made.

My understanding is that it is largely PCB’s or chemicals related to fertilizer. There are more than a few, all from human activity. The pods where I live seem to be starving as well. They eat steelhead trout and salmon, but when runs are low, they suffer. I’ve seen them in the wild, from shore and kayak. Such…

The thing is, they are expensive to keep in captivity. If they can’t be released, who will pay to keep them alive and healthy? They eat a lot and need vet care. No, they should not preform or be trained to entertain. I’m so glad I got to live to see that end. Yet, they need stimulation and a way to be happy. I wish we…

Orcas are taking a hit. They eat mostly salmon in our local pods. In addition, they bear a body burden of chemicals that they can only pass on through birth. Their babies are born with it. Even as protected species, the numbers dwindle. They need so much help right now.

Yes. I don’t get why younger people are so narrow minded about what older people should be doing. It’s weird.

Me too. I took away two stars from that post and one from yours. It’s been like that for a few days, but not on every comment. What gives?

He has the perfect villain costume after all.

Victory!!!! This is the best news. Maybe there is hope for our future after all. I can’t believe it ! Trump better not mess this up.

Congratulations! Please be careful.

If it will make you sooooo happy, please find a way to decorate :)

Dammit. I starred your comment and a star was taken away. Sorry.

I feel your pain. My stomach is churning and feel on the verge of hysteria at times, especially when listening to the news. This is a nightmare. I’ve been working on an environmental science degree for years. Now that graduation is in sight, I wonder if there will be any jobs in my field. I want to help stop the mass…

I’m so sorry. Fuck cancer indeed. I still miss my dad so much, 10 years on. I should have traveled to spend more time with him after moving far away. We talked a lot, but...wish I had done more. I didn’t know my strong dad could die so young. Take care of yourself :)

She had to. Scientology is expensive.

I wonder if Katie had evidence that caused a judge to say that Tom could not talk to Suri about Scientology and he doesn’t know how to handle that. She apparently had her legal ducks in a row when she surprise divorced him.

 I admire your ability to keep track of that data and for presenting it in a way that allows for a happy marriage. You are a good and patient partner.

One of my sisters can smell air conditioners and it gives her a headache. You are special! I can only hear electricity when it actually buzzes loudly, but I can smell a storm. I think most folks can, though. If they look up from their phones to sniff. We should sniff the air thoughtfully more often.
