Thanks Jenn.
I need to make sure my antenna is working well so I can absorb all the good vibes. 

 @c626eb92 
🤣 🤣 🤣 
And THAT is how you soft flirt with your sister. 

 @b824b8f8 
That's really sweet Janet.
Thank you. I'll take it. 🥰

Endo vs exo...

*wiggles eyebrows up and down*
So you're saying for your magic to work I should be inside you?  🤣 

 @c626eb92 
Thanks Terra. 🙂 

I could use all the good luck, white Mojo, positive Energy and Good-Witch spellcasting that's available.

He is the worst.
Absolute worst. 

 @c626eb92 
Yah... 

My uncle who lived in Edinburg, Tx (it's about an hour north of the river) used to periodically say, "I didn't cross the border! The border crossed me!"

When I first asked my momma what he meant by that I learned that our families had been in the region for a couple hundred years.  Probably longer.

*thrusts hips forward*
Replace this!!!... gringos! 

 ...The Great Replacement Theory had reached a boiling point.

The release valve wouldn't be just one flash point that history books could point to like Fort Sumpter, the Bismarck, Archduke Ferdinand or the bombing of Pearl Harbor. 

No. Multiple flash points would happen here and there. Micro battles would occur in small enclaves until the 100th Monkey created a synchrony of flashpoints everywhere in Portland, Philly, Charleston, Houston, St Louis... 

all over the country #CivilWar.

Worst speaker... ppffft.

I mean have the haters forgotten Paul Ryan, short-lived as his speakership was.

I'm with ya Beth.  Let's let Kevin know!

Chin up Kev. 
You're not the worst.

 @1325612a 
Ah... yeah. Very good point. Didn't think about how that would tip the results.

 @1325612a 
I just can't help but think this could turn out to be a terrible ,strategic error.  Whoever gets appointed will essentially be viewed as the incumbent and statistically, the incumbent has the advantage toward a win.

I just looked up Feinstein's last election and she won by 8 pts, which to me, seems a little close for left leaning California and a senator who had been there since 1992.

@09e1d236 

 @09e1d236 
I think I'd lean toward appointing Katy Porter, let her take hold of the seat for however long is left.  And in the mean time push to get the DNC to funnel money to Schiff as much as possible for his election bid. 

 @32351832 
I didn’t really follow this very closely. I just…. ugh.

I didn’t have much faith that the republican led congress here would dish out what he truly deserves. 

 @374fb629 
Sorry you got this despite being careful in so many ways. It reminds me somewhat of when I got it. 

I had been… actually all of us in my household had been masking and very careful. But my coworker went to Vegas during heavy covid numbers, came back with it and gave it to me back in 2021. 

I’ve had long-covid symptoms since. ☹️

Hope it’s inconsequential for you.

🤣 🤣 🤣 
Well, there you go.
Another Mastodon BikeTooter aid success story!

Oh, well played Miss Beth. 
Well played. 

 @20dbee1f 
Thank you Heather... so much.

It's been through a series very fortunate events and basically happenstance that I ended up with some very well regarded physicians trying to patch me up.
