Look at this little gal with her treat!
Have a great day!
That donut looks like the sugar bomb that I need.
So I chose the libertarian
Tax cutting to the ground, doing everything Ayn
But nothing will work at all
But I wanted it to
Don’t cry for Argentina, world
The truth is we’ll miss you
All through soon to be wild days
My desperate existence
He’ll keep his promise
Don’t keep your distance (with IMF money)

I’ve always been intrigued by people doing this, ever since I read From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler as a kid.
Still dealing with this cough! I was back at urgent care yesterday (Sunday) because I was up all weekend each night, every 2 hrs hacking. They gave me a nebulizer and several more Rx, which I still have to pick up. They are worried about it lasting long enough to cause lung damage. This is the stupidest thing that has ever happened to me and they don’t even really know WHY it happens.
…here’s hoping you get some relief sooner than later
I have a few friends on like day 12 of a bad upper respiratory virus that isn’t COVID and there’s been so much coughing for them too.
Hope the new round of meds will help get rid of that cough. That is miserable.
Damn, Pumpkin I hope the new meds help.

Roasted garlic and chopped shallots, too. It’s tasty but a bit of an olfactory hit.
Scientists say mystery of how red wine headaches occur may be solved
It’s about time science turned its attention to something useful.
I prefer reds to whites but it gives me terrible heartburn. ☹️
It all depends on what I eat with the wine that seems to determine if I get heartburn. Drinking on an empty stomach also increases my heartburn likelihood.
