How the Grinch Assaulted Easter
A dinner of soft food didn't really hit the spot but it didn't hurt my sore mouth either.
I am feeling much better this evening even though the numbness has long since worn off.
Summer and her pal are feeling all knowing and wise because they pestered me to go to the dentist without further delay. They encouraged me to do what was best for me. The three of us are pretty good at taking care of each other.
Tomorrow morning I will be right as rain after a restful sleep.
I can feel it.
The sunset reflecting on the flood waters was a positive product of too much rain in a short amount of time. The sight was the second best part of my day.
Finally home.
While my husband has been sick I've been trying to live with a tooth ache. More specifically an infection that had something to do with my bridge. Salt water rinses weren't helping.
Today, I stood in line for a same day emergency appointment at my dentist.
The triage process put me at the front of the line.
Ninety minutes later I was in the chair for dental surgery.
It seems that years ago a sharp shard of bone was left behind during another dental surgery and it decided to try and escape. The dentist couldn't believe I could maintain my calm but I don't see how anything else would have helped.
Now the pesky shard has been removed and I have antibiotics.
I can't tell you how thankful I am for these people and their kindness to me.
After the holidays I will bake for them.
I told Summer that I am worn out.
This is the afternoon view from our deck.
She says we should curl up for a nap.
Good idea
Random comment: startups exist to make money for investors and founders (lots of money, preferably). Mostly, the investors. 100x preferable. Usually done via acquisition or IPO. While a company is venture funded, those first few years where the service is "free", it's in essence being 100% subsidized by the investors, who are expecting a return (i.e. enough for you to get hooked on the service that later on they can sell advertising against the user base/sell subscriptions/sell your data/whatever). When those investors are crypto-lords... #socialmedia #subtooting

I bet you didn't know that Trump has renamed every shipwreck in the world regardless of location, age, or country of origin. Since he's wackier than Daffy Duck, his naming system follows no logic. There is now the Mary Trump Rose, the Titanic Trump, the Amoco Trump Cadiz, HMS Magnificent Trump, the Trump Komet, the Florence Trump, and on and on. Clipper ships, light cruisers, destroyers, liners--if it could float, had a name, and sank, its name now includes the immortal T.R.U.M.P.

My own guess is that one of his flunkies used TrumpGPT to do the renaming. Donald himself would like the idea of adding his name to so many objects, but too much work to do himself. That might be why the renamed ships include fictional ones like the Argo Trump, HMS Trump Surprise, and The Flying Dutch Trumpman.

I can't predict what he'll rename next but a small avian creature said the solar system is overdue for a nomenclature update. Jovian Trump? Trump the Gas Giant? Trump's ASSteroid belt? Craters on the moon? Entire galaxies? The mind boggles.

President Epstein is protecting all paedophiles.

Somehow a blue plastic flowerpot that was in our front yard from before we bought this house is now suddenly in violation of the HOA rules after an inspection on 12/18... It's literally in the real estate listing photos...

I fear going insane, but this Swiss guy rubbed up against insanity after the most awful life, and created art like mandalas of the psyche. One of the first artists to be recognized as an "outsider artist," he was the product of horrific abuse, abandonment, and institutions, deprived of supplies, incarcerated in asylums - and still became a prolific painter, seemingly without antecedent. It's humbling.

Seems to me that he is the sane one.

An object lesson in how formal religion can be monstrous.

What happens to an #AI controlled battleship armed with nuclear weapons when it starts to hallucinate?

Asking for a civilization.
