"The majority seems to like the idea of eliminating private health insurance and associated costs — and, for the most part, are not deterred by the prospect of higher taxes to achieve it. This shouldn’t be too surprising, as the concept of spending money to save money is hardly foreign to working-class Americans."

Curiosity finally got the better of me. I went and checked out the #Brava oven so many people are raving about. First, yes, it looks pretty impressive. Like the Swiss Army knife of ovens. Then I looked at the price. #StickerShock I will not be getting one. A huge part of why I say this, along with the fack that I don’t have $1995 laying around, is that we bought an oven when we moved into the house last year. It’s a GE, with the Braille overlays. It has an upper and lower oven, and settings for convection and air fry. So we really don’t need #Brava at this point. But I’m enjoying the posts of those who are using them.

So, if anyone is having #StickerShock from #AncestryCom price increases, I would advise downloading your GEDCOM file, then find another service. I would also advise downloading any photos and important records as well. Making people pay just to preserve their trees is extortion, imho. I have links to Windows software, but if anyone knows of a free Mac OS GEDCOM editor, please let me know. Most of the Mac ones seem to be paid software.

Aw. I want to do #MeMadeMay cause #SlowFashion is #SolarPunk, but I don't have any clothes I've made anymore. :( Everything I have is #Thrifted since I lost weight. Last time I went shopping for fabric I got #StickerShock. It's should *not* be cheaper to source fabric from already made clothes.
