Was 2020 any better than 2019?  In many ways no, a global pandemic has killed nearly 2,000,000 people worldwide, and our own elected officials have shown that they’re pretty much helpless and hopeless when faced with these big issues.  On that front, the federal election happened and Trump is going to be sent scampering back to his dog house, but here in Florida the republicans have held onto power, all while the republican governor shows again and again that he’s uncomfortable with dealing with the problems and continues night and day to do the wrong things nearly every time he’s...

This is from a reddit comment, but I liked it so much I wanted to show it to you here: Trump has been saying the pandemic has been totally under control since January, and said it would just “go away” in February.

Alarms are configured on device now and not on your phone, which is a change for the worse considering what hoops you have to...

One of my cats, Fat cat, is no longer a fat cat, but has lost 2/3 of her weight in the last 6 months and has had uncontrolable diahhrea for two or three months of that time. We didn’t really catch it because we were using a cat genie, but she started getting really particular about how clean the litter bin was and having incidences outside of the confines of the automated pooper scooper.  We’ve taken her to the vet about 3 or 4 times now and she continues to lose weight and become more and more lethargic.  She’s now to...
