Premium customer veneers cost about $2K per tooth. It’s how some dentists make most of their money these days. Meanwhile my former dental clinic, which focused on preventative care, has folded, leaving me scrambling to try to get a simple filling I was going to have done next week.

University community critiques GOP proposal of Charlie Kirk statue on campus A group of Minnesota Republican senators introduced a bill to construct a statue of political activist Charlie Kirk on the University of Minnesota campus this past September, following his death....

More BS brought to you by the authors of the bill to make β€œTrump Derangement Syndrome” an official mental illness.

Might be fun to see what sorts of creative fun U of M students would have with a Kirk statue on campus, but not gonna happen.

Talking with some local folks about Noem being replaced with Markwayne and one guy summed it up well with β€œit’s like shitting your pants and changing your shirt”

I used to transcribe for an ER and about 1/4 of the notes were dental emergencies. Makes sense when over 1/4 of Americans have no dental insurance and can’t afford preventative care. It’s all so pointless and infuriating.

Annoying co-worker awards: people who say β€œhey, hi, sorry to bother you, um, yeah, so I have a quick question,” thereby starting off by already making it less quick, and then the question is something they really didn’t have to bother you with like β€œis the conference room unlocked?”

Multiple ways to do that:

Here’s just one:

Now she will never settle for anyone who doesn’t properly show appreciation for her sweetness, which is how it should be.

This stranger appreciates mellowed-out daymakers like you. Sometimes at the end of a bad day it makes all the difference.

My dad did too! And a maraschino cherry in the middle.

But at this point I’d be happy just to have the energy just to be able to run 26 miles in a week.

When I was training for Tucson I did a lot of hill runs, but still ended up with sore quads. I tried a solo marathon a few years ago at a very slow pace to see if I’d still get them - yep. If I were going to do another, I’d probably do a longer training program.

Remember the way W rambled about the β€œevil-doers”? I wondered how anyone could fall for that blather.

I wish I could muster a good cry.

I have a grapefruit knife and spoon so I sometimes eat a half out of the peel like my dad showed me when I was a kid. For some reason grapefruit reached peak popularity in the 70’s.

It’s my birthday month I can’t even describe how bad I feel about a number of things that aren’t in my control, so I think it’s time to remove my birthday from Facebook

Thanks for not saying happy birthday anyway

β€œConservatives have long warned us about government overreach, wasteful spending, abuse of power, lack of transparency, and bureaucrats operating without accountability. Alligator Alcatraz is a case study of all five of those things.”

Thank you David.

Read this all the way through. If we ever get through this and someone writes a book about it, one of the most interesting parts will be the neighborhood networks. Idk how exactly, but they function better than organizations that have had years to develop.

Maybe set up funds for people who can’t afford to get the ID they need to vote?

I write letters to potential voters, and there’s even a local group that does this. But is it enough? I’m not worried about U.S. middle-class Minnesotans, I’m worried about people in other states who already have to wait hours at the polls, and don’t have the resources to get the ID they need.

JFC what is going on here? We’ve got only two (2) Trauma 1 hospitals in this state (Regions being one) and one of them is at risk of foundering? These are simply not institutions that can be left to fail! FFS!

I didn’t know that about you. What an interesting read. I’m 5’3” and have dated men who were shorter. The only disadvantage I’ve thought much about is that it’s harder to reach things, but usually I go ahead and climb up.

Woman dragged from her car by ICE: I've spent the last month learning names of torn tendons in my shoulders. What I haven't learned are the names of the people who did this to me. This is an ongoing fear & threat for people around this country. And we have not seen accountability

His lies are slandering your constituents and you had a duty to call him out. Those who sat in silence or applauded him should be ashamed.
