Hornet's nests on the outdoor patio were always a problem until 4 years ago when I crocheted and hung my fake one after reading that hornets are territorial. Not a single one since then! -Sandy Kendall Dennis
Rachel Maddow is reporting that multiple Federal Grand Jury subpoenas have been served in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and other States, regarding the Alternate Electors submitted to the National Archives in the 2020 election.
Since I don't see people I had become fond of ever in my feed, I'll send Christmas and Hanukkah greetings and love to everyone who sees this. Boi and I appreciate you being here.
Took a valium but I'm still crying. I miss Thanksgiving and all. I used to have someplace to go until my daughters died. But my son doesn't see me. This is nothing new. He lives 15 minutes away.

A woman has to be twice as good as a man to get the same job. A black woman needs to be 5 times as good. In comparison to a couple of justices, Ketanji Brown Jackson is 50X as good.
I was chewed out for telling my personal business on Twitter. I was told I wanted folks to feel sorry for me. If I wanted anything from people I would have put a charity number on my profile. A couple of dear people have offered to help, & I love them for it. I'm just lonely.

Exeter Cathedral has a 14th century door that is mentioned as an entrance for cats. From 1305 cathedral accounts show an allowance for quarterly payments of 13 pence “to the custors and the cats” (custoribus et cato, if you’re doing it in Latin).

My son cleaned my apartment and changed my bed, made salads for a week, and his friend did all my dishes and walked the dog while my son filled my pill boxes. That's good news for me!!!!!!
How did I get so old and sick? What are my grandchildren and great grandchildren doing? Do they remember me? I feel so alone. I am so glad to have my son to take care of me, and my wonderful Twitter friends that I can talk to & care for each other.
Where are the people that know me? Only strangers on my timeline. Where are the sweet souls who hold me up? I need them more today than ever, my world is falling apart.
Well, y'all remember when EVERYBODY got extra $ to help during Covid? Well, now they're calling it an overpayment and taking it back out of my SSI. Which is way below poverty level to begin with. "Oh, you're poor and old and disabled? You didn't deserve help."
Does anyone still wonder how we disabled people living on $841/mo SSI waste our entitlements on frivolities? Cheapest rent I could get in $1,050 plus $35 for Boi. I guess I'm living off the government (but mostly my working class son). Next year I will get $914.

Just when the pain is so severe that you're about to scream at the sky and all crying, you see a facebook notice that the "other grandma" is in even worse shape, in hospital, and all you can do is comfort the granddaughters.
Map of the Great Artesian Basin in Australia. It is the largest and deepest confined freshwater aquifer on Earth, stretching for over 1,700,000 square kilometers.
The pain is so bad. Think good thoughts of me. Yes, I have tons of pain pills. My body is eating itself with the rheumatoid arthritis. Thank you all for keeping me going.
Just watched the Toys for Tots ceremony and I'm crying so much because the year my kids and I were struggling a lot without their Dad. someone must have called Because 2 fancy dressed Marines brought us a game we all played together so happy. So happy with my babies.
Sorry, not feeling creative or humorous today. Just had a 5 minute sob of alone-ness. So over life like this and knowing it's going to get worse before it's over.
Somebody blocked me and I don't know why. That hurts my feelings because I'm careful what I retweet. Also try to not tweet when super depressed. This is the first time I've been blocked.
@lorraine_luv1
Because I don't want to die from covid!!! My heart is going, my RA is eating me from the inside out, I take insulin. Damned if I'm going out without a mask!
I knew a Ukrainian family. They left about the time Putin's ogres entered Ukraine. I see their little 6-year-old son's face in my mind whenever Ukraine is mentioned. The rest of their family was still there. It opens a hurt space in my chest when I think of them.
OMG the pain got me, kept waking me last night, and is winning the day. Pain pills inadequate and on 3rd coffee. Nobody here to put lidocaine patches on. Trying very hard to be nice and calm. No tears yet but screamed once in my sleep. I love you all for letting me kvetch to U.
Power went out last night at 5pm. Just came on at 3 am. But, A church lady brought me dinner, then my doctor brought me dinner and searched the town for candles and flashlights, and then my friend Jim brought me his church's dinner and found a flashlight and an old 1/2
Looking at pictures with my new caregiver. I've gained 40# since my daughters died. Scary to look at me, I got so old and haggard looking. Glad I can't take selfies.
@Joyjoysilva
Yep. We were just talking about me getting raped in 1963 and what might have happened if I got PG. And that would probably have been it. Condolences Joy.
If you normally follow me through many tweets a day &/or we chat...Where the eff are you? I don't see anyone I know well on my timeline. This is what I call a twitterclusterpuck.
My son's BIL is way on the spectrum and my son cares for him a couple hours a day after he leaves me. He went outside and some pig jumped him and beat him up. I'm going to go cry a while because there's nothing I can do.

My Dad would get cans of Doggie Stew. His Lab would inhale it, but when you looked in the bowl, there were a quarter cup of cleanly polished peas in the bottom. Still don't know how she did it. Magic?
I haven't been tweeting personal things today but I'm okay. I'm having to change Home Health agencies so I'm not getting treatments or nursing, and doing things myself or doing without. I am not celebrating the season but I have good food thanks to a good Twitter friend.
@JoJoFromJerz
Well, from my point of view, everybody I recognized has suddenly disappeared from my timeline, except now you are here. Just a massive flustercuk.
Mental health issues related to the pandemic are especially hard for people with depression & anxiety.
NAMI, The National Alliance on Mental Health have a 24 hour helpline: 800-950-6264.
An evil black wind blew through my life 6 years ago and took my big family away. My son is still here and I'm a big burden on him. I've been holding it in and trying to be "normal" but today the valium didn't work so I need time out to just cry a lot.
This has not been reported anywhere in the national press. In Bernards Township, NJ, a five-member majority of the school board rejected a sociology textbook due to its accurate depictions of recent events.
The objections are really something. Behold:
I was telling my dog that I am a person because for a while today I felt like I was nothing anymore. I have no job to do, nobody to help, no money to give away. But I breathe, eat, take up space and I sometimes feel I don't deserve it. I guess I should take a nap. Love you guys

2016, every moment of it. April my youngest daughter died, Halloween my other daughter died, then we got Trump. The pandemic was nothing compared to 2016.

The Maids put two of Betty’s beds together & we found her like this. We were surprised she managed the extra height to clamber into the bed on top. Sharon sent this.
Every time I see an eviction notice on some family's door I get depressed for days. Lately they're streaming out of here because the rent keeps going up sky high. They live in their cars if they're lucky enough to have them. Another one is outside.
This Home Health Agency is lying and saying I'm "difficult" and ask for things I never asked for and refused a male which I never did so they can keep other places from taking me. So, I guess I'm stuck with Bridges and them not sending anyone. Thank God I have PCAs!
Remote with AAAs to put in the flashlight my doc had bought although no stores had batteries. Most stores in the area had no power. I have the best doctor the world has ever seen! 2/2

Read the titles. Then if you don't know, check some of them out. These are the very books that people should be reading to form an open mind and empathetic spirit.
INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, Minn. (AP) — At least 13 bald eagles were likely poisoned by scavenging the carcasses of euthanized animals that were improperly dumped at a Minnesota landfill, and three of the majestic birds have died.
