Girl from the Burgh, made a career in steel. Retired now. Post food, pets & politics. Liberal, if that bothers you-tough. Also petty AF. And: #KHive, always. This is not a dating site. NOT a resister, no automatic follow-back but maybe a Block.
My Sunday is complete now that I've read @eddsmitty.bsky.social history lesson. Thank you, kind sir!
