It reminded me of the power we still have a grasp on.
I never mistrusted the jurors, just the system to protect them. And that scared me for the outcome. And I’m sure they’ve been thinking about all that a lot, and yet they stood tall and string and gave the 34 counts their unanimous verdict of guilty because, I want to believe, they chose to support the parts of our system that can do good.
And they did reeeeal good.
@Adventurer Same. I'm sick of looking at it and being pissed that we've let the MAGA GOP co-opt it as their political symbol. The rest of us need to take it back to being a symbol for all.
@Adventurer You should get every booster that comes out because they cover variants that have occurred since your last vaccine shot. Because Covid is so widespread, it's mutating fast, making boosters necessary to keep up with the latest strains.
@Adventurer@Lazarou There was a study published in I think Germany about a bloke who kept paying for booster shots, and had racked up about 70-odd by the time he was identified. The study indicated that he has high levels of circulating antibodies, effective against several strains, and no evident adverse effects.
UK public health guidelines before the Tories decided to give up on the pandemic were to get a booster every 6 months. Immunity begins to wane 3 months after the most recent shot.
Yah! I finally have my new bed scheduled for delivery. Time to say goodbye to the air mattress and be an adult.
Walked about 3.5 miles today.
Needed a restroom while out walking so bought a soda from a food cart so I could get the code. It smelled so good that I came back later and they had the dish I had wanted a few days ago.
@Adventurer@3goodthings Congrats on the new bed! Every single air mattress I have ever slept on deflated overnight, except for some sleeping pads for camping. 😆

The harbor in San Diego, CA at night/early early morning filled with parked boats under a cloudy sky with the moon not visible but creating a lighter spot in the clouds.
Well today my tummy reacted to the reintroduction of legumes. I am glad I followed the diet and did not add other things because now I know. But to be fair I only experienced a slight improvement on the diet.
Next will be non gluten grains like corn, oats, quinoa. But one more day of whole foods before doing that.

Thank you. I think that is my next step. I am going to finish this one. I am sort of sad if it is effective, lol. There are so many things on the list that I love.
November 2022 I got notice that when my lease expired at my apartment my rent was going up. I don't recall the exact amount but let's say $140 without a lease and $80 with a lease. This particular area requires 90 day notice to increase. I did not respond. By December they reduced it to $40 increase with a lease and $100 without. I chose to surrender the unit and move.
13 months later they still have not rented the unit and I have seen it for less than I was paying. They have a crazy system. Rates can fluctuate each day. When I rented I got no discount but people before and after me had received specials like two months free. I was being transferred for work and needed some place to live but always had a little resentment over the specials issue. 13 months later I feel vindicated.
