Avoid health sharing plans, they’re not that great a deal. A friend had one while getting some pretty serious treatment, and he struggled to get the care he needed. Link: Not serious enough to turn on the siren, toddler’s 39-mile ambulance ride still cost over $9,000

Now he’s reduced to grabbing his own Arc d’Drumpf, so he fired the nay-sayers. Reportedly, he asked the engineers if they could demolish the East Wing at night. So he settled for barriers. And fired the board with oversight on the project. Link: Trump fires federal arts board in charge of reviewing White House ballroom and ‘Arc de Trump’

We improvised as we didn’t have Greek yogurt. So, olive oil mayo, and threw in a wee can of black olives. Next time, would use a stick blender to cream half of the canned garbonzos, and maybe some tahini with the creamed beans too.

Trying amitryptiline for the persistent “burning tinglies” in my left arm, hands, and left side. I suspect the carpal tunnel is overlaid a bit with this CPSP on the left side, my doctor started me on a low dose. It may take a few months to dial in the lowest effective dose. At night I can neutralize it temporarily with electric massage, a tight cycling sleeve, and gloves so that I can sleep. Daytime, I wear long sleeves and avoid typing or touching textures. As soon as my bare arm touches my shirt on the side, or upholstery, fabrics, etc.,…

He also hates this photo, in which his labial goiter is prominent. The Russian mouthpiece defending him thinks Time’s editors must be perverts for picking it. Not hard to see why. The “small crown” is the M in Time?? NO KINGS! Link: ‘The worst of all time’: Trump rails against ‘super bad’ Time magazine cover

They were working on the Concordia Cemetery water system when they heard voices coming from the nearby river. They tried to assist 2 men, wading in water up to their necks, fleeing from ICE. In a way, the men were trying to reach sanctuary on holy ground, though they may not have realized they were trying to climb up the bank into a cemetery. The ICE-ickles demanded a locked gate be opened, then pulled out bolt cutters and entered without waiting. The cemetery workers were cuffed and left beside the pump house for more than an hour, then taken away…

I had never heard of Hazel Scott before, her star fell into the shadows of McCarthyism before I was born. It’s a shame that she was forgotten the first time; let’s resist her second disappearance. It may be time to fire up a PBS Passport membership to watch this documentary (and so much more). I wonder what Mom and Dad thought of her TV show; Pop did love Nat “King” Cole and other Black entertainers. Sometimes it seems we Americans are forgetting who we were, which means we don’t know who we are, and we won’t recognize who we’ll become.…

This may look like playing in mud, but it’s pre-k “how to do school” set in an experimental farm study area. The kids have a mobile classroom that takes them all over the Grand Valley, in the shadow of the Colorado National Monument.

I’m on Caroline’s daily newsletter list and have made one or two of her projects (I think a threadcatchers one or a sewing machine pad with pockets). Her tutorials (written and video) are always clear and cheery.
