One of my IRL friends from high school had a birthday thursday and on their FB thingy they asked for folks to consider donating plasma because that’s what is keeping them alive - quite literally.
So I kinda started adding up my donations since high school…. Here’s what I shared with them in...
Okay, so I’ll byte the bullet and make this a slow & start retrospective project.

Okay so here’s goes. Y’all know we had Freez-covid-maggeden here in Texas…. Well, after that storm in the local “rants & raves” group in FB-land there was a mystery chicken that showed up at a major intersection. The acknowledgment that seems to be agreed upon from all the locals- someone’s coop...
