You live in a modest home that requires maintenance and is in need of some repairs. Some distance from you a person of wealth resides in a palatial mansion, also in need of some repair. Rather than pay a professional to do the work, the wealthy person shows you pictures of what your own home could look like, and somehow convinces you to do their repairs, learning as you go,
while also making you pay for access to their property, under some vague promise your own home will fix itself. #AI
In my dream, which was more like a vision, some years from now and before primary season for the US Presidency, The Orange King 👑 will produce, direct, and star in “The President’s Apprentice” where Vance, Rubio, Miller, and several others have to “battle it out” within and without the walls of the gilded White House, elimination-style, for 8 months of TV drama on CBS… to see who emerges as The Apprentice and Favorite to succeed DJT. Grand Ballroom finale. #nightmare #markmywords
Do you ever get the feeling that … with the possible exception of our planet that we seem hellbent to destroy … humanity is a *single* playing piece on some giant, cosmic board game… and just when we think we’ve made progress we keep getting sent back to Start.
I know it’s #Monday so here’s some #MondayMotivation courtesy of #CaptainKangaroo (Did you know his show ran 1,360 episodes?) 22 seasons on CBS… getting showered in ping pong balls is just one of the memories I have; also “the Dolly Parton” episode… great fun!

Time to roll up the sleeves, ignore the pain in my back, and stand with my fellow citizens in DC. Knowing all y’all care about the risks we take… in America for crying out loud!!!… means a lot. Your support matters. coff.ee/marybeth8647

I’m still on Facebook… (I know)… but that is where the cesspool is. Family, friends, have all been duped into believing all the lies. I went from over 200 “followers” to 96 in the span of about a year. Thank you all for being the community I needed.

I’ve tried toys before with this cat. Never found one she liked until this one. #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon
Starting today I’m declaring Mondays to be #FunFact day. Maybe call it #funday Here’s my fun fact. When I was about 10, my family took a trip to Stratford, ON and Collingwood, ON to visit relatives. I was given $20 to spend, which I exchanged into $CAN. After 3 weeks of sleeping on relatives’ couches and floors in sleeping bags, back to the US. I still had $CAN, which I exchanged back into US$. $20 became $21+, which my dad promptly made me return to him because it felt to him like stealing.
Sometimes ya just feel like curling up your toes and letting sleep take you #Caturday
