Fragility: 

 

“Walking on Eggshells" is a common phrase that probably originates in the 1800s and refers to being very careful and cautious, especially around people who are easily angered; "It is often used to describe people living with a narcissist.” 

 

Don't you sense a feeling of frigidity these days.  

 

BTW, who can afford to discard eggshells these days anyhow?   

 

A contributor to the Tids tells me he invented a thought-controlled air freshener. It makes scents when you think about it. (The TPL) 

 

A radish is kind of cool.

I think we will be hearing a lot about that new book from Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson: “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again. On one side it is a Greek tragedy - “The Protagonist’s effort to conceal his fate, seals his fate.” And on the other a gooey inside look at a scrambling White House run to hide the Presidents inadequacies. People love gooey best, and it always sells well.  

 

Lulu Lemon shares got pummeled yesterday after the company said consumers are spending less in preparation for a potential threat of tariff produced higher price. Maybe consumers finally figured out that Lulu has always been overpriced.  

 

The withdrawal of NY congress person Elise Stefanic (R) from consideration for Ambassador to UN shows just how Fragile the Repub’s position is in The House. Talk is talk but action says everything.  

 

Americans cannot get enough of NFL Football. Even as baseball starts its Spring/Summer/Fall journey, the talk is about the Football draft. Even here as the NBA Champ Celtics move toward defending their title, the talk is about who the Pats will get to protect the QB.  

 

And people will lose interest in the scope of the March Madness if it continues to boil down to just one super power league. Except the gamblers, of course. 

 

The innovative garden accessories store sold cutting hedge technology. 

 

Justine Crockett sounds like a bad Standup comedian. We’ve got to change this USA insult mentality. 

 

Just about two weeks to Easter where hopefully the only national malady will be overeating Jellybeans. And cleaning up eggshells. 

 

Why am I spending time looking for flowers blooming when around here we don't start serious planting plant is Mid-May. Always has been. The earliest Vegetables to plant are Beets, Broccoli, Carrots Kale and Lettuce. Though right now we should be starting seeds inside. But I'm in no rush, I still have plenty of thyme. 

 

Ok, so peas are also a good early planting vegetable. But I’m trying to rid the world of peas. A lot of potentially good chicken pot pies have been ruined with peas.  

 

The Answer: 

One is a patio chair, and the other is a chatty au pair! Shoot me. 

 

Have a great weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
