@emmettoconnell It's probably easy to actually get from one property to the other on foot, but very difficult with wheels (bike, car, wheelchair).
Really, it's a serial killer's dream. "I hop a fence to evade police and they have to drive a mile to get to the yard I jumped into."

@meghan_collie One reason pets become homeless is because their people die. Planning for the future of your pets in the event of your death is a thing.

@TwisterMc @mtonak Same. My brain has suffered no injuries, though if I tried that it probably would.

@Tomqj You have very responsible wolves. Mine all tell me to eat everything and play video games.

@CrankyOtter Have you checked your hand? I cannot tell you the number of times I've frantically looked for a thing that I was actively holding.

It's getting too cumbersome to talk about LED bulbs in "watt equivalents". Do I have to learn lumens at some point? In 50 years will we still say "it's a 40 watt equivalent bulb" ?

@meghan_collie omg, I hadn't considered that. I don't even own decent clothing. I have Olympia grunge and fancy dresses and no middle ground. I hope I am not called for jury duty.

@Victorsings @joncoopertweets Same with Washington. I love it.

@CrankyOtter At first I thought it was a before/after and the dinos had melted into hearts.

[lynn kale @lynnkale]

@CrankyOtter I figured. I just enjoyed the idea of a person throwing a ball for themself and then running after it.

@CrankyOtter Do not buy toenail fungus. It's a waste of money.

@j3rrytron "Maybe gnawing anxiety isn't as bad as the crippling helplessness and frustration I feel every time I call my insurance who keeps referring me to therapists who aren't taking new patients."

[lynn kale @lynnkale]

@j3rrytron OMG I feel for you. I hope you get the help you need. I had similar experiences and just gave up. And that was *before* covid.

@CrankyOtter Foot fungus is basically always on your feet and in your shoes. Cleaning and drying your feet keeps it from being a problem. If anything having to take off their shoes would decrease the likelihood of foot fungus infections, if their toes dried out before they put shoes back on.

@lovelyginger This sounds very Luke.❤️

@CrankyOtter I moved from MN to the pacific northwest 8 years ago, and I still have my last ice scraper. It is 0% useful here, but just in case!

@chipfranklin ✋ Since omicron I've been wearing a cloth mask over a disposable medical mask.

@RomancingNope I'd love to be able to offer studio or 1BR units around $1000/month, but there's no way to do that at anything other than a loss.
New housing units are being built, but they are mostly single family, and in the high 6 figures.

[lynn kale @lynnkale]

@RomancingNope I am interested in buying or building rental property (for reasonable rates, I want to actually increase affordable housing available in my area). Currently the cheapest homes available on the market are over $400K, and building a unit costs $40K per unit in fees to the city.
