    Bernice’s “just get me x” is so precise that it will be easy to get wrong, which Luann will then hear about.

    Happy Birthday! Thank you for sharing your family and talent with us. I save BCN for the end of my morning coffee so the happiness/joy/humor it brings will carry me through the day.

    Love this arc! Yesterday I was thinking the orbsters needed to leave comments this week reminding you to take out the oven rack;)

    For everyone commenting about the differences between Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Armed Forces Day, you’ve completely missed the point. Which in a way is the point – that our veterans and those made the ultimate sacrifice are thought about only once or twice a year. If our country, and the president elect actually gave a crap about veterans and surviving families, there wouldn’t be homeless vets, the numerous foundations comprised of vets, family members, retirees, and prior service raising funds for things like service dogs, housing, etc. We wouldn’t have to have service members getting SNAP benefits to feed their kid. Our veterans and retirees that qualify for healthcare wouldn’t constantly see their co-pays going up EVERY year – during Trumps last time in office the co-pays doubled in one year.

    As a vet and the spouse of an Army retiree, I’m sick of the lip service. Please don’t thank us for our service, we willingly signed up. Do something meaningful, get involved, donate to a charity that is actually helping veterans and their families, write letters to congress – especially those who are on the Armed Forces committee. And don’t forget the families, I spent 12 years as an Army spouse after I left active duty and the families sacrifice more than most will ever understand.

    Sadly, some people didn’t still think it makes sense to elect the failed business man for a second time.

    I got the play on Panic! at the Disco and figured you just really liked Fennec Foxes. Now that you mention your avatar, he does look like a Fennec Fox.

    We need more people with your background! As the parent of an ASD kiddo (now adult), an ADHD/GA kiddo (also now adult), and ADHD/Dyslexic person we had our share of pastors and congregations that were less than welcoming.
