Thank you for making me feel so welcome all the time. Your kindness is cherished and typical of how we’ve been received in BC every day that we’ve been there for our extended stays.
Your overtures and brief tutorials on how Canadian govts work have been invaluable.
Your tips and suggestions are always so appreciated.
So a special thank you to those who have reached out.
@GottaLaff I envy you so much for being able to escape this hell-hole we call America. I wish we could do the same but alas we are old and have no ties to Canada. Actually we have never been there. If we were younger though we would definitely be looking to move ourselves. For now, I’ll live vicariously through your posts. 😊
I’m not sure if I’ll be doing as detailed a blow-by-blow thread of void dire in the #TrumpTrial. I may pick and choose info as it comes up, should anything stand out.
It’s exhausting trying to keep up with 4 reporters and then editing together here.
So, I’ll do what I can. Remember, we’re also moving/packing/showing the house/living life.
@GottaLaff you always amaze me that you are able to post all that you do. Do what you can. I’m sure others like me understand and appreciate your efforts. 😊
Yes, we have a place to stay in Canada. We've been leasing a townhouse there for nearly 2 years.
No, we haven't found a place to buy yet. We've only just begun to look (when we were there last week, our agent showed us 6 houses/townhomes just to get a feel for what we needed). Plus, we missed out on 2 places that sold before we could tour them.
In Trump's filing: Gen counsel Alan Garten lists some..co's he says Trump Org unsuccessfully approached..None wd accept real estate as collateral, he says. Also worth noting:
Chubb was only surety "willing to even consider accepting real est as collateral," of more than 30 that also said no..Per Garten's affidavit:
👉🏼W/in past week, negotiations collapsed w Chubb, the insurance giant who provided the bond on the #EJeanCarroll judgment👈🏼 #Trump#legal
An unearthed clip shows #MikeJohnson promoting an app called “Covenant Eyes” which “scans your devices” and “sends a report” to someone if you view “sinful” material. The app says “defeat porn.”
From focus on the 'soft voice' of extremist #MikeJohnson to soft-selling #Trump's dictatorial plans to calling killing civilians 'a crater,' something's very wrong with the #media today
It's called cowardice
From Gaza City to Capitol Hill, a cowed media is chronicling the death of democracy in a passive voice
@GottaLaff
Speaking of soft voices… have you heard Johnson’s wife speak yet? Sounds exactly like Michelle Duggar. Ya know, that subservient fundie baby voice the women do. 🤦🏻♀️
@GottaLaff If you do get it figured out, could you let us know? I downloaded an app (NetNewsWire) and I’ve never been able to get notifications from it no matter what I try.
@GottaLaff Hi, sorry for the delayed response. Had some stuff going on. Regarding the NetNewswire app not getting notifications… no I don’t think the app has a sign-in. Yes, I have all the notifications set up correctly. Tried turning off and on, deleted and reinstalled, rebooted phone, but still no notifications. It’s the first time I’ve tried using a RSS reader. I don’t really know much about them. 🤷🏻♀️
@stux It’s not any worse than having someone from another country criticize your country. I know the US has many, many problems but it’s “like” when someone complains about your mother… it’s ok if you do it but it’s so NOT ok if someone else does it.
@stux I just don’t see the need to criticize just because of his vernacular. It’s a different way of life with different norms. Doesn’t mean your way or my way is better than the other, just different.
Rep. Dean Phillips of #Minnesota has decided to challenge President Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination and will launch his #2024election campaign on Friday in New Hampshire, where he will file to appear on the state's primary ballot.
To all of you whose wonderful, kind, compassionate words and support have been so helpful, I have sad news: Father In Law passed away. Mr. Laffy just called in tears, but there was a small silver lining… FIL got his final wish and died peacefully in his sleep. That was so comforting for all of us. I can never thank you guys enough for your consistent caring and empathy. You’ve been beyond amazing. ❤️💔 #gratitude
Ugh, Father in Law took another fall (he slid off his chair a couple of weeks ago, HUGE bruise on his side, but no broken bones)
This time he fell on his stomach trying to get from his wheelchair to his new bed. Horrible. No broken bones, but lotta pain. He's on so many pain meds now + a Fentanyl patch that hasn't kicked in yet, & they're making him nauseous. It's brutal.
Mr. Laffy and his sister are there now.
Sigh. He shouldn't have to go thru this, but well... 😢
