Only 5 more days of hotel living. I am so excited to go home. I hear my bathroom has no walls at the moment so I hope they get on that. My downstairs neighbor has been out of her apt for 6 weeks. I've been out only 3. She left her cat and has someone from the other bldg feed it.
I don't understand leaving her pet alone since the management company would pay for hotel that allows cats. Of course, she may be staying with a friend which might be more comfortable. I have so much medical equipment that a hotel made much more sense. Also, salt water pool!!!!
But all the chair in the hotel are too low. I have to bend my knees too much when I am sitting. No footrest either, so I can't elevate my legs. I can feel myself getting sicker in the hotel and can't wait to get home.
I love the pool, but it does not compensate for all microwave meals. Two weeks without Maillard reaction is just ridiculous. I want some char!!!! I also want chairs that have a reasonable height. The goofy thing is the bed is too high so I have to jump a little to get in.
But the staff are wonderful even though I have blown a circuit TWICE heating up water in my electric kettle. I am not going to use Keurig for three weeks & add 40 or 50 pods to throw in a landfill. I use an Aeropress with a metal Fellowes filter and only generate waste grounds
This is a rambling thread because I went to sleep around 2:30 and woke up at 5:40 for no good reason and I am not tired.

A lot of people don't realize that when folks are released from the hospital to a rehab facility, often it's a wing or a few rooms in a nursing home and not a facility focused on rehab
This means the staff are oriented toward the always there, year-round residents, and staffing and procedures are not geared to rehab patients. So, for example, when I was in a rehab facility after surgery, I was repeatedly given cake, cookies, and pasta despite being diabetic
No effort was made to offer meals that were suitable. None! I was unable to get up and about at the time but calling a nurse so I could get help getting out of bed & walking to the bathroom took too much of their time. They preferred I piss the bed & clean up when they had time
So, no one has heard from my niece for over a month now. Some family members are traveling to CO tomorrow to check on her welfare as she is not answering calls & texts. It's possible she is doing the silent treatment after a big fight over her going back to an abusive partner
But she went back to a violent abusive partner.
I am worried, but hoping she is just being an asshole, letting everyone worry.
I find it weird that she would not communicate with anyone in the family when her fight was with the sister she had been staying with after leaving her partner for the nth time.
The photos of the Border Patrol's abusive behavior reveal a problem that must be addressed immediately. The problem is not the photos, the problem is the behavior. Not only should it be condemned, but the officers should also be disciplined. I hope they're fired in spite of union
But let's not pretend the Border Patrol has ever been anything but out of control qz.com/1734240/criminβ¦
I was playing solitaire on my Kindle last night & an ad played for Ionic Foot DeTox. It was the grossest thing ever, people's feet seeming to soak in sewage. The premise of this scam is that these are toxins drawn from your body by this electromagnetic pulse in the water.
Well, whatever toxins may be in my body, I doubt they will look like fecal soup, so I did a bit of googling. The tub is made of material that reacts with the electromagnetic pulse releasing "grossitude" into the water even if there is nothing in the tub.
It is, of course, a complete scam, one that succeeds by looking completely disgusting and foul. Someone how, though, I think the people who would do an ionic foot detox and use ivermectin and not get vaccinated are all the same people.
Anyone who thinks the media isn't racist just needs to compare the coverage of the tragic death of Gabby Petito to the many missing and murdered Black and Indigenous women in America. I mean, we could just stick to Florida
and it would still be shameful.
These are cold cases someone has collected. Just imagine if they were pursued with widespread national attention pinterest.com/coldcasemissinβ¦
These are missing and murdered Indigenous women. How often has the media created a firestorm to search for one of them?
The media seems to think they must be inviolate from criticism from the left, yet bend to criticism from the right as though it is dictum. This is frustrating since it creates at atmosphere of false equivalency and double standards that is harmful to democracy.
For example, the evacuation of Afghanistan continues to be presented as a failure and a betrayal, but what about the Kurds? Much is made of decommissioned planes that could be repaired in Afghanistan & nothing of entire bases left to be occupied by ISIS & Russia in Syria.
That's just one thing. It's not all. Biden's small drop in polling is a "disaster" while Trump never topped 50% & is presented as some media maven.
The media has still to interview those of us who voted for the popular vote winner only to have the losing candidate foisted on us
