2008 I remember a DU member used to live near Biden, and saw secret service show up

at Bidens's house before it hit the national news that he'd been chosen over Hillary to be the VP.
DU scooped the news.

Do we have anyone here now like that? Anyone live near the VP picks?

I thought she might go with Shapiro, but I'm wondering now if she might go with Walz.
Anyone with some scoop in those neighborhoods?

The anticipation is 🤪

3 years August 12th

Don't miss my husband any less, but sometimes it's easier to manage now.

Just curious, some days I can be productive...other days, even though I'm productive at work.
When I get home can barely function or like today my day off today was a bust.

Insight please. I'm just in a place where I have lots tondo and need to buck up.
I'm starting to.get tired of feeling sorry for myself. Missing him is bad enough without extra bull shit.

What works.for you. Yes therapist and I had to join a 12 step program, NOT AA.
But now ai have a double wammy.

However I have 6 months at the job I wanted. So there's that.

Sorry for the typos. Posting from my phone and hard to see.

My student loans were forgiven when Biden had the Department of Education

update their rules.

I'll never forget the work he did to help the everyday person.

He would have had my vote either way, forgiven loans or not.

This really makes me sad, scared, and afraid to have a current PRESIDENT
drop out of the race.

Blue no matter who. But is this the right call? God help us.

been working a lot. I'm just shocked about major dem players are wanting Biden to drop out

I just want us to win.
It seems very risky to me. I'm really worried.
It shocked me to learn about the things Pelosi and others have said publicly.

This division is being pounded by the media. And they are non stop on this narrative.
Why can't we rally behind our current, sitting President?
Seems like we're shooting ourselves in the foot.

Student loans forgiven today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ultimate irony and benefit to me as that I got EVERYTHING forgiven
with the new one time payment adjustment if you consolidate everything to a direct loan through the feds/dept of ed
to comply with the new Dept of Ed new Save plan.

If the supreme court had upheld Biden's original plan, I would have only had about 1/3 of my debt wiped out.
*maniacal laughing*

thanks president Biden.

Drinks on me. I don't have a student loan payment this month!

I'm so tired of the msm treating Trump like he's a legitimate candidate.

This is why we are in this mess in the first place. They gave him all that air time.

I mean every lead in should mention his 91 felony counts before his name.

PBS KERA in DFW re-aired the Dec 5, 2023 Frontline about the Uvalde shooting.

It came on after Finding Your Roots. I steeled myself and made myself watch it. I didn't know it was going to be on, but I felt it deserved my time. And tonight I happened to be in a head space where I thought I could handle it.

It talked about what failed and why. They did a great job telling the awful story.

They didn't really show anything graphic, but the post incident interviews with the different police officers and body cam footage was...gulp...stunning and heartbreaking. There was hours and hours of footage the journalists had to sort through to get a good picture of what happened.

If you're in a spot where you can handle it, I highly recommend.

This might be helpful if you are 2/3 years in, or it might be too soon.

Peace.

OMG a nerd's dream website.

Can't sleep covid edition, but I can hear a bird outside.

I'm in the DFW area, but my part
doesn't always get the rain.

Anyway I'm on day 8 recovering from covid,
feeling better after the Paxlovid but still losing
steam pretty quickly. Kinda feels like flu and a nasty
sinus infection at the same time. So I started a steroid
pack yesterday just to help the gunk break up and I've been
on an antibiotic just in case because doc didn't want me ending up with a secondary pneumonia. But I digress.

So I'm tired, but freaking WIRED from the steroid. Only slept two hours. My point...

My husband died Aug 2021 and it's always on my mind. Sometimes I'm debilitated, sometimes I'm not.

I've been sleeping on the couch sitting up as I have sleep apnea and won't use my machine until my clean tubing comes in. So I'm up, wired, just put on a show, and I can hear this bird chirp, chirping at the dog bowl outside.

I forgot to dump it out last night, so the bird was taking advantage of the water. CHIRP CHIRP for about 5 minutes.
It's just now, that I'm able to have little joys again since my husband passed. Just the joy of a bird finding water in drought. He appreciated those kinds of things.

I've seen this same bird before. I'll go put some fresh water
and go ahead and get the dogs up for breakfast.

Thank goodness for the dogs.
