Make no mistake. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the saddest, darkest day in Connecticut and maybe the country’s history. We’ve had way too many shootings since Newtown...but this one will always hurt so much more. Hugs and thoughts to every person impacted by that horrible day.

I find it amusing that many people are whining on social media that there is wintry weather in mid-March. Last I checked, it happens almost every March, so crying about it doesn't make it any better, or easier to take. It IS what it IS and there is nothing anyone can do about it

Groceries in 2023. Stupid high prices to wait in a long line to check myself out. Make a mistake and get scolded by a female computer voice, wait for “help”, bag my own things and play Frogger to survive the walk back to my car. Oh and the bags tear too easy! Why?
