I, too, am late 50’s and just old enough to remember news stories about seniors eating cat food. ‘Not eating cat food in retirement’ has played a large part in our decisions re: what we can afford and what we save. It’s also a major reason my husband has stayed with his current employer for 26 years instead of chasing higher salary- he has an old-fashioned defined benefit pension plan that is 128% funded in addition to our retirement savings.

My old farmhouse in East TN was built in 1870. Downstairs will never go over 75f, but woo Nelly, without AC the upstairs is hot AF and 75-80% humidity. Even downstairs, at 73 with 90% humidity, my makeup will melt off. I know this from experience because we went without power for 2 weeks in 2017 and our downstairs AC had to be replaced in 2020. In the winter, my electric bill pushes past $1k because this house was not built to stay warm.

@LUFC1992_v2 The RV Life app has an RV Safe GPS function you can use. You put in the dimensions of your RV, and it will route you around hazards. We use ours all the time. Conventional GPSs will get you into trouble.

@beyondreasdoubt @Dawnsfire True, by a lot, but that is a relatively low hurdle to jump, so to speak.

[Carolyn Horowitz @ckhorowitz]

@beyondreasdoubt @iowahawkblog I’m rooting against this outcome, perhaps niaively, but rooting nonetheless.

@3YearLetterman My In-laws lived 5 miles from there. It is a lovely area.

@Gormogons @mowoodier I completely understand. We lost 5 of our olds in 7 months. It was brutal. I was there when each took their first breath and their last. The oldest was 19 the youngest 14.

@beyondreasdoubt You still rock, and Dorothy still loves you in her own somewhat autistic dog way. Having met you IRL, it kills me how awful people are to you.

@babybeginner @OrevaZSN Start fires. They are great for that in the fireplace.

[Carolyn Horowitz @ckhorowitz]

@four4thefire Brutal, particularly in an RV.

@scottlincicome @DollyParton I'm an oldish GenX, I know, but I remember 1976. I can't express how horrified, radicalized, whatever you want to call it, I am about people thinking a concert, on the National Mall, for the 250th is somehow bad.

[Carolyn Horowitz @ckhorowitz]

I am old enough to remember the celebration in 1976. We stood in line for the Freedom Train. We flew our flags How in the world is celebrating 250 political in 2026? We are the luckiest people in the history of the world to live in this country at this time. I can't even.

Wow, I will always treasure this (entirely fake) email from (the fraudsters phishing while spoofing) @marcorubio !

@scottlincicome I made 4 chicken pot pies on Monday with for about $1.50 a serving with chicken I bought in bulk on sale. We had it for dinner Monday then we both had it for lunch one day this week. It’s not that hard.

@lorifrank1 @77cyko There was a bus that took us to the outdoor Y at 7:00am in the summer for swim team practice before the pool opened for the day. Our parents picked us up at 6:00pm. We ate from the snack shop with whatever allowance we had left over. Could be some, could be none.

The reality is that the general algorithm and function of this app was superior under the “Twitter regime”. The problem was the actions of the regime- the shadowbanning, censorship and refusing to verify right-leaning accounts. 

The easiest fix was to stop/reverse that behavior, not change the core function of the app. 

It used to be that you would see your follows and your followers would see you. Breaking news and trending topics are easy to follow. 

Information was fast paced and top notch. 

IMO the wrong issues were addressed and it has hurt the usefulness of the app.

I say this all in the spirit of being helpful as I do enjoy X and would love to see it returned to its operational glory. 

As always, I am happy to provide further insights to anyone on the team if helpful.
