The GOP is just degenerate. They're so afraid of everyone having an equal say, it is a huge challenge to rampant white supremacy in the US.

Walmart Anti-Union ‘Training’ Video Is Another Reason Not To Shop There

HippieChick58 comments on Mar 1, 2021:

I don't shop at WM unless it is the absolute last place to find what I need. I have been there once in the last 5 years. One of my kids worked at a local small business that was bought out by WM. One of the perks of working for WM is a credit card that gives them cash back on their WM purchases. So, she has that credit card. That business was relocated to California, kid stayed here. Once the pandemic started she started to get groceries for me. So now my groceries come from WM. I'm not thrilled, but I guess I am contributing to her retirement fund, and I don't have to go to the grocery store.

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 28, 2021:

https://wagwalking.com/cat/condition/coleus-poisoning Coleus are poisonous to cats... What is Coleus Poisoning? The coleus plant can be poisonous to your cat, even if it simply brushes up against the leaves or flowers. Coleus contains an essential oil toxic to cats and dogs, which can cause skin irritations and burns if not diagnosed and treated right away. Additionally, if your cat eats any part of this plant, it will also develop gastrointestinal symptoms. The poisonous oils from this plant can also cause respiratory depression or slowed breathing, which can be potentially fatal to your pet. Symptoms of Coleus Poisoning in Cats The essential oils in a coleus plant are quickly absorbed into your cat;s system, allowing it to become very sick very quickly: Loss of appetite or anorexia Vomiting (may be bloody) Diarrhea (may also be bloody) Drooling Pawing at the skin of the face and mouth Skin redness is visible underneath cat;s fur Burns on facial skin, tongue and gums Depression Cat is physically weak Body tremors Cat walks with difficulty Lethargy and physical weakness Hypothermia (low body temperature) after ingestion of a large amount of coleus) Breathing difficulty

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 18, 2021:

I am WFH so don't need to go out. I was victim to our scheduled power outage of one hour. It started at exactly 0830, and ended at 0930. I messaged my supervisor and sat by the window and knit for an hour with a throw quilt on my lap and a jacket. My employer is not penalizing us for the hour of unscheduled time off as it is happening all over the area. I have not cleared my driveway, front walk or steps and porch. One of the neighbors has cleared the front sidewalk. I suspect it is the neighbor to the west, as the community mail box is to the east of my driveway. I am delaying ordering from Amazon until the steps/porch are clear. My expected visitors come in through the garage. Unexpected visitors are SOL. Monday's expected high is to be in the 40s, I will be relying on that to clear the drive, my house faces south and the sun does a damn good job when it has a chance. One of my kids delivers my groceries, and I have meals stocked up that will last for weeks. As long as the water lines don't freeze I'm good.

The neighbors have gotten the front sidewalk, but they guy that does it has his own self interest at heart, he has to cross in front of my house to reach the mailbox. I haven't cleared the snow as it is too damn cold. I am also cutting the Amazon driver some slack, I have some stuff I need to order, but I'm going to wait until the sun melts the snow off, or it warms up enough that I feel like I can get out and move the snow. I'm thinking I'm waiting for sunshine. The good news is the cold/snow keeps the fire ants and termites away. I'm thinking "enough already! Those suckers are dead fer sure!"
