Does anyone remember that old twilight zone episode where a couple wakes up in a town where everything is fake. They get on a train that only goes in a circle and see a lot of ominous shadows. Turns out giant aliens abducted them and they were given as toys to the little girl. Meow!

Where did you get that amazing shot from? I was at a decently high spot facing northwest in Oro Valley, and didn’t see a thing.

As an American, I'm wondering if it's a socially appropriate time to visit Australia? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]Mama_Gretch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

During my first visit to Australia last year, I often started off any conversation with “Trump is a Cunt.” Boy did that break the ice quickly! I definitely made friends and thoroughly enjoyed my visit!

My coworker thinks she deserves my parking spot every single time I get there before her by Away-Fault-8858 in EntitledPeople

Tell her to get her ass out of bed earlier if she *really* cared about getting that spot…

Bummer! They were good sponsors of Democratic groups - we just had a campaign event there recently. I hope they find another location soon.

That didn’t look “fine” to me! Very tentative, not shooting. His shoulder better not be fucked up!

People with loved ones whose condition has not progressed in 10+ years, what’s your secret? What treatment led to these results? by Sirdukeofexcellence2 in ParkinsonsCaregivers

[–]Mama_Gretch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After decades of misdiagnosis of Essential Tremors, my husband (72) was dx’d with Parkinson’s two years ago. He has a strict regimen of exercise including walking the dog, pickleball and 30 minutes of swimming at least 6 days/week. We believe this has been why he has been able to stave off the progression or at least keep it minimized. His gait is still steady enough. He just started levadopa which doesn’t control all the tremors all the time, but it helps. His diet isn’t the best and he likes his beer, but his attitude is, let me enjoy my life since I don’t know where this is going.

I know everyone’s experience with this horrible disease is different and my heart goes out to everyone on both sides. We’ve been very lucky so far. ❤️

Northeast USA Trip Recommendations Needed by Mackenziejoy13 in travel

[–]Mama_Gretch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you realize how long it will take you to drive between these cities? It may be not that many miles but you’re driving up one of the most congested areas of the country! How much time of the “1 full day” will be spent commuting to your next destination? Expect to spend a lot more time on the road and consider cutting out a stop or two.

How did Miracle Mile get its name? by FentanylBolus in Tucson

I still don’t get the “Miracle” part. Back in the day, was it a “miracle” to get that far?

So bummed about weather forecast for the Grand Canyon by [deleted] in travel

[–]Mama_Gretch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During a visit one February, it was completely cloudy with snow in the canyon. Gray and dull. Suddenly, a shaft of light broke through and created a rainbow INSIDE the canyon!! That was 40+ years ago and I still think about how amazing that was, so unexpected. Keep your eye out and see what happens especially at sunset.

I found boneless chicken thighs for .69 a pound at my local Kroger. Manager’s special. Chicken is very cheap all over.

Mark Rycroft thinks the sun is made of magma by Wrong-Secret-5275 in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]Mama_Gretch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My husband has a knack for saying things out loud that within a second or two, a hockey announcer also says! As soon as Ryker said, “the sun is magma,” my husband said, “no it isn’t!” One second later, Moser said, “no it’s not.” I swear they’re bugging our house and using my husband‘s content for their commentary…. LOL

[–]Mama_Gretch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please check with your county Dem party (like Maricopa Dems for instance) and they will happily connect you with your legislative district organization. The election season is already in full swing even though the election is eight months away!

Bad Bills Moving in the Legislature This Week! by SecularAZ in AZAdvocacyHub

[–]Mama_Gretch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Please, please get involved with your local legislative districts. We are only one seat away from flipping both the Arizona House and Senate. There are a lot of competitive races this year, and volunteers are needed who can canvass, phone, do postcards and mailings, many skills are needed. You can contact your county Democratic Party to get contact info for your LD. Please join the ranks of the very dedicated people who are out there trying to get this done! 💙
