Gen X trying to find relevance. I have a husband, 3 sons, and a best friend who lives too far away from me. Introvert who needs distance. No touching.

We see veterans at our practice from surrounding states for service connected evaluations because there aren't any Dr's closer to them doing it. They are regularly traveling more than 100 miles because they don't have a choice.

My kid blasts Pink Floyd. But he's a good 8 years older than your Gen Z

Expensive gas is not this⬇️

The world is watching and taking notes. History will not be kind to America.

How does someone so punchable remain unpunched?

How soon until you will be receiving guests? I've been to see my roots in Sweden, Norway is practically the same, right?

He's doing really well. He's a year out post-transplant and his medical team has classified him as "uninteresting"
He has to stay on his medication regimen for the rest of his life.
But, considering we almost lost him last year, we'll take it.

I was going to be a smartass and say something about getting your picture being displayed at the post office.

But I think you might be feeling fragile and this isn't the time. I want you around. We all need more good people in our lives and I think you are a good person.

My son ended up with a very serious and rare auto-immune disease that necessitated an organ transplant when he was 23.

We can't prove it's related to what he was exposed to when he was a baby. But we can't prove it isn't either.

It was the last time we ever lived in base housing.

I was giving him daily breathing treatments until we PCS'd when he was 11 months and all his breathing problems disappeared.

Everyone knew the housing was infested with mold but there wasn't an official admittance. The housing was torn down w/in 3 years of us leaving...

We lived on base when my middle son was born. He got very sick at around 2.5 months old . At 4 months he was issued a nebulizer by the ped clinic. When his dad went to pick it up the employee said something about all the newborns on Cobb St. being sick enough to need nebulizers...

I'm more concerned about Stephen Miller cosplaying as President.

Your supervisor always needs to know what you are doing. It's in the contract.

Not yet. We'll see how the unemployment rate changes that.

I still have mine, too. I haven't been inside a temple since 2007 I think. I stayed active a lot longer. But temples gave me huge anxiety so I didn't go.

I dont like having a giddy SecDef. It is very off putting. He's acting like a 13 yo old boy trash talking his opponents in a video game.

He's so gross.

No one is invading North Korea because no one wants war with China.

Trump said we had "virtually unlimited weapons." Unfortunately, we don't have *literally* unlimited weapons.

Twenty million barrels of oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz yesterday.

Today the number may be zero.

Not because Iran mined the water. Not because a tanker was hit. Because Lloyd's of London picked up the phone.

War risk underwriters began canceling policies for strait transits hours after the Operation Epic Fury launched. The Financial Times confirmed premiums surging 50 percent. Baseline war risk sits at 0.25 percent of hull value. For a hundred million dollar tanker that is 250,000 dollars per voyage. At peak escalation rates, one million per transit. Vessels linked to American or Israeli Interests are becoming uninsurable entirely. No price. No policy. No transit.

Someone posted this 5 days ago. I can't vouch for credibility, but it does quote info from the Financial Times. I assume they know of which they report.

The amount of institutional knowledge those idiots laid waste is unforgivable.

I listened to it. I'm not going to judge her relationships, or if she is truly happy or just resigned to it, but if she were using her experience to sell me on polyamory, I would not be buying it. She sounded kind of like she bullied herself into it.
