THEN: time, or "therefore"

THAN: comparative

If you know the difference between fhEn and thAn, your writing will be clearer thAn if I have to read back and forth to figure out what's going on and thEn translate.

Aw, gee, I missed #VoteEarlyDay

'cause I #voted yesterday 🤪

Laugh.

Laugh at the tiny things creeping over the surface of an infinitesimal speck in a common little galaxy in an unimaginable Universe of endless wonder.

Laugh.

Intriguing subject. I don't have any .fla files; maybe a dusty old .swf in a closet.

Pillow Perfect
Very basic model, rectangle.
pure polypester, but my butt likes'm

My new seat cushions are here - HAPPY ASS! 😁

She lives in a tree
sleeps in the winter
wakes in the springtime
sings with my voice

Birds are her children
wild beasts her sons
the sea is her daughter
mother of all

Rain is her house
clouds the roof of it
many her windows
lit by the moon

She walks in the meadows
clad only in wind
sweet rivers pour down
from her mountains

Vintage and collectbles can go on Etsy - although some foax are not happy with Etsy either, and there's a new "artists' collective" thing sprung off.

I am going to be sharpening my shopping-fu from now on. I've always been good at finding resources, even in the days before teh webz, when I had to scan classifieds in the backs of magazines and send for catalogs.

The problem with the ebay problem is that the underhanded, sneaky, lying crap they pull is not illegal.

It should be illegal. It is certainly immoral.

Unfortunately, the measure of morality in a Kapitalist pigocracy is set by the religion of kapitalism.

@joeo10 I get that impression. Never did it before, and never will again. 🤣 I just wanted to see how awful it could be. BOINK! Delete account.

Actually ended up going back to one I used before. Never had a problem with it; switched for some silly reason and ended up in a leaky boat. 😬

Just to say - Proton's free VPN is a farce, but I am not amused.

Not that I was going to depend on it - but I wanted to stick a toe in their water to get a taste. It was a BAD taste. Just the feckin website makes everything nearly impossible. I don't think their support for Linux is worth dogshit.

There is very little "health care" in the US. Mostly, it's overpriced "sickness maintenance" provided by a monoplistic profit-obsessesed machine.

"By the people, for the people?" (incidentally, predates Lincoln)

That died long ago. Unless only oligarchs count as "people."

HOLY ----!

@joeo10 Basically, I'll need her Firefox shit because I still haven't got her gmail 6

She thinks FB is t3h webz

Laptop shopping again. Poor old Clark will never get off life support alive; the entire hospital staff are in agreement.

@joeo10 lol I think they look like weathered stumps.

Two new bone pots for tiny plants. They have nice drainage holes. I've found that borax keeps the soaking clean process from stinking me out of the kitchen 🤣

The ham made a great pea soup.

After I dug out the noise problem, I took a squint at the nearby bookshelves. Lo, a blast from the past.
