We are a big country and Florida Keys to Maine is about 1800 miles, Wilmington NC to Barstow CA is about 2500 miles

Seems like up and down should count too sometimes. But we need a better word than across, especially if it can't be safely driven in a single day by a single driver without stopping to sleep.

(San Fran to SeaTac is about 800 miles)

Thank you! I understand now.

I don't know how it works there. Was Pierre running in two races?

Would there have a special election for this seat if he had won both?

What are the odds he loses support and goes quiet after losing both, especially his backup incumbent election? (Knowing hard losses used to discourage people, but not always now)

Cat.

I don't have pics, but after my two were fixed, I had borrowed one of these crates to keep them in for a few hours while they recovered fully from the anesthesia.

One was loopy and just wanted to nap. The other was loopy and in bat mode like the one in this pic. I was afraid bat cat would pop her stitches or fall on her sister.

We ended up carrying bat cat in our arms until the drugs wore off while nap cat slept it off.

Yes, all the time. What if something unwanted goes into my mouth while it's undefended?

Muzan is actually smart though.

Roflmao

Maybe I should upgrade...

The portable one is my rec too. I have a rechargeable one. I refill it with warm or cool water depending on my preference and then bippity boppity.

I like it because it's also easier to aim and control.

If I was going to get one to hook to the toilet, I'd get the type that's like a kitchen sprayer attached to hose.

I have a handheld that I fill at the sink with warm or slightly cool water.

I've got female parts so I angle from the front between my legs, so that everything flows front to back and then down.

I change the angle and shift a bit to get the backend bits so it doesn't splatter the front bits.

The handheld bidet water stream is more like a water pick than a shower sprayer, so you can be pretty exact with this one.

Ask about propranolol - it's a beta blocker.

It was prescribed to a family member for stage fright that was causing physical symptoms.

The nervousness is still there, but the control of the body came back.

Imagine trying to play drums or something and your hands shaking so bad you can't hold the drumsticks...

If the xanax is messing with your thinking or energy, and you are medically cleared, a beta-blocker might help.

Wow, so this is basically the technique I started when a close family member was dying of cancer.

"But if you're at dinner, then you're at dinner and you enjoy that"

I just want to add to this, give yourself permission to fully enjoy it and be happy in the moment. Don't beat yourself up for feeling joy when you know others are still in crisis.

Make a list on paper or digital and let all the problems wait while you enjoy the moment. It's okay to enjoy the moment.

I do.

But I have vegan and lactose intolerant family and friends. So I try to keep shelf stable options on hand for when they visit.

After they leave, I use what's left so it's not wasted, and would prefer an option that I like too.

I must keeping getting crap oatmilk. I always feel like it's watery, and I shake it before pouring.

I also drink whole milk, and think anything under 2% might as well be water. Unless it's a chocolate milk full of thickeners instead of just milk and chocolate.

I also get plain, because I don't want added sugar.

Suggestions?

How many heirs fighting in courts all over the world does it take to redistribute a multi-billioniare's wealth through court fees, lawyer fees, accountants, penalties, etc until none of them are supreme-wealthy anymore? Just never work again wealthy.

Even if some of them don't really want it, they could still find lawyers to fight on contingency and let them drain the wealth. Then donate whatever they might eventually get, if anything.

For example, Anna Nicole and her late husband's son effectively fed lawyers for years and years. Michael Jackson's estate has been tied up in litigation for decades. And Mike had 3 kids, Anna one surviving kid.

With over a dozen and counting Leon kids, and a ton of potential other types of suits incoming from world-wide plantiffs, it'll be interesting to see how that estate eventually gets drained and dispersed.

To make up for the Cats movie not having them?

Then you've got Bill Maher meeting him in person and then dick-riding him on his show talking about how sane, charming, self-deprecating, and how he has a sense of humor afterall, and listens to criticism calmly.

Then Maher gets offended when a guest says 'the president played you'

I mean, jfc, Maher is in the entertainment industry how has he never met a charming backstabber before?

I just read that DOGE literally manhandled and dragged a career Social Security worker out of the offices because he wouldn't let let put alive people on the dead people list to cut off their benefits.

Sane/Insane - the work they are doing is crazy, illegal, immoral, unethical - we need more Jasmine Crockett type people loudly calling this out.

We need people with her visibility and charisma out-shouting Margie with actual truths instead of made up bullshit.

At this point the truths are more wacky than the hacky shit being made up about space lasers and weather control.

because I'm sometimes too literal, you mean a surveillance bug, not an insect bug?

They are supposed to fit tight enough to not need pinning.
