Ha, they're bringing back the Nokia 3210!

🎉👏My daughter is done with finals and got the highest score on her last exam!
Got current on the Bobiverse series which lead me to the Expeditionary Force series. Already in book 2. Very cool when authors give nods to each other.
Malcolm in the Middle is a NASCAR driver now?

It's election week! 🥳
The natural party of chaos has broken and plundered everything, partied while the bodies piled high, and tried to blame the most vulnerable for the 💩 they've discharged.
It's time to #StopTheTories

So @mary was feeling a bit off last weekend I checked her blood pressure. It was dangerously high (175/110) compared to usual (119/70). After checking her the next day with no improvement, I took her to the ER. When she was admitted it was 193/120. They looked for problems(none), gave her some meds, and she is now back to normal a week later. Our sitter had something similar happen, and also Heidi's therapist. All in the last 3 weeks with no other symptoms. Anyone else seeing anything like this?
I don't know how my brain is able to read Boustrophedon writing, but it is interesting.
Ugh, it’s been one of those days where you put in 10 hours of work and at the end found out it was all for nothing.

There was a farmer who grew excellent quality corn. Every year, he won the award for the best-grown corn. One year, a newspaper reporter interviewed him and discovered the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors. “How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?” the reporter asked.
“Why sir,” said the farmer, “Didn’t you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn.”
So is with our lives... Those who want to live meaningfully and well must help enrich the lives of others, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others find happiness, for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.
Cross Purpose is a great program and our church has been supporting them with volunteers and money for years. If even a fraction of the money wasted on government programs was funneled into them, the world would be a much better place.

Made a dumb website so I wouldn't ever have to Google "tm symbol" again.
One of my best friends proposed to his girlfriend this weekend and she said, "Yes!". Wishing them many years of happiness together!
Ok, we finally got around to getting in the “snow den” it’s like 70F today 😂.
A couple of weeks of solitude in nature, working on some projects, would be nice. Why does that seem so impossible?
Update: Our sitter was thankfully not having a heart attack, but other than a potassium deficiency, they’re not sure what’s going on. We’re glad she went in anyways. They say that death is the first symptom for around 1/3rd of people with heart problems. They can’t really ask those folks, but I suspect that a lot of them just brush off pain hoping it will go away.
It was the supposed to be date night, but the sitter (22) told us that she couldn’t make it because she was going to the hospital because she thought she might be having a heart attack! Please keep her in your prayers. I took the family out to dinner and then the car broke down afterwards…It was actually a beautiful afternoon for car trouble. Glad I was there and that we have hospitals, tow trucks, and Ubers.🙂
