Most interesting!

I pick stuff up when I’m out walking. Always keep a little bag with me for interesting rocks, pine cones, beautiful leaves when fall is coming, and yes, litter that some selfish careless asshole couldn’t be bothered to deposit in what is usually a very-nearby and convenient trash can.

And, yes, it both clears my mind AND generates ideas.

I see what you did there!

I totally get this.

It’s getting harder and harder to be hopeful.

I’m far more cynical now than I ever have been before. And I’m old enough to remember Nixon.

SHEESH! I can't imagine working anywhere near somebody like that!

I can’t imagine why a willful public menace like her would NOT be told “get vaccinated if you want to keep working here.”

It’s come to that! And it should be a zero-tolerance thing. Across the board. No exceptions.

This virus KILLS people.

Same here. I can't even fake it anymore.

I just hope others wake up - understanding their example.

Done!

That’s my red line.

Thanks for the info!

Really?

I want one! Just in case!

I could have used it at a little airport restaurant in Camarillo CA a few years back.

While we were still going out to restaurants, I made it a habit to ask the server or other restaurant worker to change the channel if the TV was tuned to Pox Noise. Always got polite compliance- except at this one restaurant. When I made my always-polite request, the young woman at the reception desk apologized and said the owner mandated that the TV always be tuned to Pox Noise.

So do I. Firmly with them.

This is an OUTRAGE!

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
