Grandma Z

I read, write, ghostwrite, edit, make art and jewelry out of paper, and herd cats. Oh, and my grandsons are cuter, smarter, and better behaved than yours.

@klhicks912 I am a character-driven reader. If I can't identify with, like, or at least tolerate your protagonist by chapter three, I'm done. I can't waste time and precious mental resources on someone I wouldn't have drinks with.

@McFruitpunch @pulte Why is it all an immigrant's fault? Because they want an Us vs. Them mentality.

Because then we won't actually be looking into the answer to your second question which is:

Possibly because they are the ones profiting from it?

@TeaRoseKent Please make note of the following:
Irreverence Day has been moved to the third Sunday of every month.
Insolence Day is officially June 14th.
Insouciance Day is a moveable feast, celebrated anytime you feel the need to just not gaf, not to exceed more than 31 days in any month.

@totalimmunity @Texns4Trump @nicksortor ATC didn't ask WHICH jet they saw/acknowledged. There was a flight taking off as well as landing. Human error, certainly, but more likely ATC error than helo error.

[Grandma Z @SuzanneStewart1]

@Texns4Trump @nicksortor 1. It appears the plane came down on them. At lower altitudes/slower speeds, no helo can maneuver quickly enough to outrun a plane doing 150 mph.
2. They could've been focused on plane TAKING OFF, not LANDING. ATC told them to fall in behind, but not WHICH plane was which.

[Grandma Z @SuzanneStewart1]

@AndreiBulu @barbiebrox @CalltoActivism Choppers also can't maneuver quickly at lower speeds and altitudes, so even if they knew it was coming at them, they may not have had time to get out of the way.

There's also the possibility that one or both zigged when they should've zagged.

[Grandma Z @SuzanneStewart1]

@barbiebrox @CalltoActivism Depends on where the plane was in relation to the chopper. They don't have rear view mirrors in those birds.

@LFrostWrites I've thought about using it myself because it's so clever. But then I'd feel obligated to ask permission and haven't figured out what to say. #sociallyawkwardintrovert

A good and decent thought for #MLKDay

The more I hear on the news, the more I need to stock up on chocolate.

@TimRyanDOPEMAN @CAgovernor @fema Up to 70 EACH means GROUPS of people.

Reading comprehension is a wonderful thing...

@Everspace2024 @JBakerMarketing @BaddCompani Trump won by just 1.6% and 2.5 million votes. That's hardly a landslide or a "mandate." It's a win-by-a-whisker in the world of statistics.

@plantbasedvibes I highly recommend Lenovo Yogas. You can often find nice reconditioned used ones on Newegg.

@danafriedman64 @TrainTraveller5 @JoshMalina @bradleywhitford Janel and Josh stole a piece of Brad's stationery. Used it to send a fan letter/love note and $200 bouquet to Jimmy Smits for Valentine's Day. (Season 6) Brad wrote the episode this scene is from, and included Josh's lines as payback for the love note prank.
