I've placed an order on Walmart, reserved my pick up time, checked my substitutions, and when I hit the process payment it stalls so long I get an error. Then my card has a problem. I double check it and try again. Same thing. Then my reservation time has run out. Error message. Ugh.

Jim Bakker, the TV preacher brought down by sex and financial scandals, has died at 86. He and his then-wife, Tammy Faye Bakker, built a televangelism empire that ended in a spectacular collapse of greed, scandal, and excess.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Yesterday there was a Reddit post where someone expressed how unsafe they felt going out in their downtown neighbourhood. A majority of the answers were weapons of some sort, mace, self defence classes, a dog, just move or call the non-emergency number to report. Oh, and that they were lying 🙄

George starts meowing about 4am. He will continue even after receiving fresh waters, assorted foods and snacks, a scooped litter box, and sleepy conversation. Once he has both of us up, our coffees in hand, he snuggles into Jim's arm to go back to sleep.

George Snow, a rescue cat who is completely spoiled by his minions. George has two water bowls (one in the shower so he can move it around), three bowls of various foods, snacks and treats. 
George is insistent that his male minion nap several times a day, just like this. Usually 8 am, 11 am, 1-3 pm and perhaps twice more depending on his mood. 
We ❤️ George.

I ordered a specialty agricultural insecticide for a mite infestation for my chickens. I do not live in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. In fact, I live in New Brunswick. My delivery address is correct on my order. *sigh* technology 🤷‍♀️
