Wilford Brimley
He's probably best known in pop culture from the parodies of his "die-ah-bee-tus" commercials, in which he sought to promote diabetes awareness, but I remember him best from the movie The Natural, his Quaker Oats commercials, and the TV show Our House.
He was 85.

Squeaky Toys
He’s had this $4.99 squeaking steak home for 3 minutes and it’s already broke. Ugh. Ok, He loves the squeaky stuff. What squeaky stuff doesn’t break and how much is it gonna cost me? - Lisa

Melting Pot
Wow, just heard someone use the term “melting pot” in reference to American race relations goals. I’m over 40 and haven’t heard that since grade school. So much work to be done... - Lisa

How Father's Day Went
Father's Day 2020 went well, even if Covid cancelled the annual hike the day before. In the early afternoon LK and I visited with my Dad, the first face to face meeting with my parents since before the pandemic. Then I went home and grilled steak, baked potatoes, and fresh asparagus for the family before opening my cards and gift. Later, LK made me beer bread. A very nice family day.

The New MPS Schedules
Can I just say the new MPS school schedules suck on all levels. My high-schoolers left for the bus at 7:50 last year, this year they’ll have to leave at 6:50. Up by 6:15am? My teens?! 🤣 This is gonna be interesting!
Not to mention the middle schooler will need to leave to walk at 7 and be home by 2:20. I sure hope Dan is on a 1st shift schedule by then!
What happened to the proposed later more sensible schedule? Which of you supported this? Name yourself, lol.

My Thoughts
The Left controls academia, the news media, Hollywood, the technology sector, and most mayoral/city government positions. In other words, a whole lot of our most important institutions. If institutional racism is real - and I'm not saying it's not - then which "side" is really to blame?

*pic for attention* does anyone have any knee high socks they are willing to get rid of? I started rollerskating and these kind of socks are great for comfort 😁
