Thinking about the overhead sunglasses compartment in your car….do the glasses go lenses up or lenses down? Either way, it seems that the lenses are likely to become scratched.

Babysitting for a friend today. I don’t think she realizes how little I remember from when my kids were young.

I will share with you something my daughter told me in high school. She said, β€œMom, nothing ages you more than calling it pot. It’s weed.”

Multiple times a day I consider how crazy it is that there are small animals living inside our house with us, roaming free, doing whatever they choose, and we think this normal and fun #cats

Does anyone else watch an episode of Schitt’s Creek and then find themselves talking or gesturing like Alexis or David?

Let’s go NC β€” let Tillis know how you feel about his vote on Kennedy. Tillis supports vaccines to protect the health of children in NC. And he knows one person’s petty revenge politics are not the legislature’s job. (202) 224-6342

Does everyone else find photos on the iPhone or challenging to deal with since the last update?

The rules under which overseas military voted did not require photo ID, so they didn’t send a copy of their ID, which he argues invalidates their ballots. (Different rules from other absentee voters, who had to provide a copy of ID.)

Griffin is also trying to disenfranchise members of the military who voted while overseas. In fact, he says if he wins that case, he’ll drop the other. This guy is a sitting NC judge trying to join the state Supreme Court!!

Having just finished watching all 16 seasons of, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia for the first time, I was thrilled to see the gang show up at Abbott Elementary to volunteer.

Even though the list includes both D and R voters, Griffin thinks that by disenfranchising these 60,000, it will reverse his loss, which is only 800 or so votes.

Voters who registered using a specific form β€” a legal form provided by the BOE β€” that didn’t include DL # or SSN. The list disproportionally includes more young voters and people of color.

America is so diverse. In my local school district (140,000 students), students come from 175 countries and speak 146 native languages. I loved that for my children who got to experience so much local culture every day, better preparing them for the world they will function in after graduation.

My son is on the list, too β€” no idea why! BOE said there’s nothing questionable about his registration or ballot. Unbelievable that there’s nothing we can do to stop this!

Everyone in 2106 who said they wanted to see the U.S. run like a business, here we are! It’s all about the short-term profit and very little for you, the employees, who are seen as an expense not an asset.

I’m the only person in my household who likes a quiet house. Everyone else plays music in whatever room they are in.

Thanks to FB, I was reminded that 11 years ago I met Joe Biden at a healthcare conference and ate dinner at Jose Andres’ restaurant….a lot has changed in the past decade bringing both of them to international acclaim. Amazing that just this week POTUS has disparaged both of them.

Not OK. One of those votes he is attempting to disqualify is my child’s very legal vote. And there is nothing we can do about it.
