You are very welcome and thank you so very much, as well. You keep making me smile, and the world could do very well, with more love and joy!

Yes, please.

I guess maybe doing without meals to bless a loved one, you see it differently.

Happy early birthday 🎉 (or unbirthday, as you please)! Nothing wrong with not believing, but loving the holidays, any of them. I personally really love classical, so Handle’s Messiah (the whole thing) brings me great joy. I really hope your birthday brings blessings, miracles, magic or incredibly beautiful, incredible things your way, pick and choose the words you prefer, leave the rest. Your post made my very long day!

You probably did and that’s probably a standard font.

Before this was a thing in stores, elderly family members would buy things on sale so year for holiday and other special occasion gifts, because resources were limited. And there’s nothing wrong with being wise, even if one has sufficient resources. There’s a difference between that and stinginess/greed, and the line is thin and can easily become blurred. If I have what I need and operate from, hmm a lack mindset (”I lack personal operable transportation, poor me!), it is easy to fall into stinginess. When I operate from abundance mindset (”Good neighbors/friends/family go a bit out of their way, to make sure I can get to appointments and do other necessary errands! I’m so fortunate!" And compensate with gas money, chores, small but meaningful gifts if the others are declined or money is tighter), I can be wise and keep in my lane because the lines are seen more clearly.

Way to go, Costco. Yuck.

Thank you for replying. I considered her for my primary vote, when she ran, but ultimately wrote in my candidate.

Yes, I’d be okay with him, but Porter is an electable candidate. And she’s willing to go a bit left of center.

Why? No shade, just curious.

Katie Porter would get me to the polls.

I think the nominee will be Harris, and her record as California prosecutor is foreboding. I’m unsure she can be pushed left of her right position, but who knows? Let’s see her ostensible positions, going forward, and who she chooses as veep contender.

Hard to tell, sometimes.

Literally lol’d. Thanks for that!

Maybe Cuba or Vietnam? Hard to say without having visited.

I like the way you think.

My local library requires you sign in, and your own device would need MAC address spoofing.

Yes. Just checked, was turned on.
