  • Here are a few suggestions:
    Volunteer at a soup kitchen or a food pantry
    Sign up for a church email newsletter and go there when they are doing pot-luck meals (bring a dish to pass)
    If you are into sports, sign up to volunteer as a coach.
    Don’t buy all of your groceries all at one time. Buy a few things each time and go more often. Even if you don’t meet or talk to anyone but the workers, you will be around other people.



  • The party nomination isn’t official until the delegates vote at the convention. That isn’t new. The nomination is never final until the convention.

    The people voted in the state party primary. Biden and Harris were the incumbents on the Democratic party ticket. Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Vice President Harris as his replacement. If the party does not largely agree that Harris should be the new nominee, they will have an opportunity to vote for someone else at the convention.

    For me this doesn’t change anything. My vote was always going to be for the Democrat. Not because I love Democrats. I really don’t. But because any other vote is basically a vote for the moron in the stupid hat, and I really don’t want that.



  • I like my Crocs, but for me they are not a very good shoe for my feet.

    I have one pair of Crocs that I bought last year. First thing I noticed was the textured footbed. It’s kinda spiky and not very comfortable to me. I have been amazed at all of the comfort claims due to this. You can and do get used to it, but the first couple of weeks is not comfortable at all.

    Also, I’m a big guy and Crocs don’t offer much in the way of arch support. I have never had arch issues until I wore Crocs on a regular basis.


  • I also lose interest in certain things when asked about them. I try to continue anyway, but I am not always successful at doing that. There is a project I am currently working on that I am struggling to complete because of this.

    For me it’s the anxiety of disappointing the other person. I would rather they are disappointed right now rather than make an effort and have them still disappointed.

    As I have gotten older I have learned to mostly ignore the the anxious thoughts, because they are often not true, but they are always there and I am not always able to shake those feelings.

    Talk with your doctor. It’s likely they can help you with this.












  • Unfortunately, as we have already seen within the Republican party, threats work! If you are a secretary of state right now, you have two choices:

    A) upholding Article 14 sec 3 because Trump engaged in an insurrection and is disqualified from ever holding elected office. But by doing so you, your coworkers, and your friends and family will be having to endure constant protests, verbal abuse, and death threats for the foreseeable future
    or
    B) Not doing that, hoping that he loses again (as he should), and the crazy people mostly leave you alone.

    Which one would you pick? The real answer is probably not as easy as simply following the law.
    I know which one I hope I would choose, but I can’t say for sure I would do it.

    edited: because I was not paying enough attention and wrote the wrong job title. (oops)
