Nowhere in the brochure on aging did it mention that getting your ears waxed would become necessary. I'd like to file a complaint.

Insomnia sucks. My problem isn't getting to sleep, I just don't stay asleep.

I'm rewatching the series Grimm, because I long for a simpler time, when all we had to worry about was being chased through the forest by a werewolf with a big-ass axe.

I don't know how I feel about this. Brilliant, but - damn, Gina.

This is a panel representing "Moms for Liberty", an anti-trans, anti-gay group in Florida, arguing that the "Don't Say Gay" law should be expanded to include all children up to 8th grade.
Anyone want to point out to them that the 6 on the panel who are men, identifying themselves as Moms, are acting against the law?

Last night I got an alert on my phone that I should be prepared for an evacuation order. It didn't happen, but it looks like Montecito got hit again. Santa Barbara is again cut off from the world, with 101 closed on both sides of the town. This rain is something else, and it's not even an El Nino year.

An idea for a New Year resolution, if you haven't already got your list finalized:

I'm one of the people who would often forget to include Alt-Text on my images, which helps people using readers to participate on Mastodon.
I found an option in the web interface that helps with that. Go to the hamburger, choose "App settings" and check this box to remind you to use Alt-Text:

My animals are convinced I'm a Disney Princess.

This is still the biggest tree I've seen in person.

Last day of my 4 day weekend, so have to get laundry done. Scooter decided to help.

If my parrot barks, do I post her under #ParrotsOfMastodon or #DogsOfMastodon?

I complained that I look exactly like my father in our holiday photo this year, so hubs applied some filters. I do not actually look like an 80s hair-band member, and I'm pushing hard on 60.

Last post-
I've wrapped my head around the idea that this is their problem, and I can't fix it. But it's also my problem to deal with. So I do. But it still makes me angry and sad.
I'm the one with the parrot.

The world has turned topsy-turvy. Every year is Auntie Mame at Thanksgiving and Love, Actually at Christmas. This year hubs started Love, Actually on Thanksgiving Day. There was nothing to do about it but watch Auntie Mame today.

When parrots are happy and safe, they grind their beaks. It's their signal that all is right in the world and they're at peace.
Scooter has had her piece of peanut butter toast (hubs' contribution to a well-rounded diet), some sliced mango, minced baby arugula, pellets. Her whole flock is here, sitting with her in the family room, and she's beak grinding like a fiend, with her eyes 3/4 closed.
Life is good in Scooterland.

This is Scooter. She was supposed to be a rescue, instead she moved in, took over the house, changed the locks and passwords on everything, and tells us we can stay as long as we're obedient and well-behaved.

I'm thinking about getting one of the Ford Lightning F150s, but if I get one I'll have to have mudflaps. Can't have a truck without mudflaps.
