For the past week or so, when I click on some videos to watch in full, I CANNOT CLOSE IT & GO BACK TO THE STREAM! I can close the app, pull the save screen down, but end up spending 5+ min trying to close it. Suspect it may be a phone problem (iPhone, just up-graded).22 Dec 2025 18:41 +0000at://did:plc:ocvlzmxvrup4d4v3wrzo7w4n/app.bsky.feed.post/3malv5452jc2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/dragon0131.bsky.social/post/3m7egbcuzn22yThat time of year where I watch every version of A Christmas Carol that I can. Some, not all, include the two children sheltered & protected by the Ghost of Christmas Present. These 2 are the true meaning behind the story: Ignorance & Want. Both devastating, but Ignorance destroys all in its’ way.07 Dec 2025 02:01 +0000at://did:plc:ocvlzmxvrup4d4v3wrzo7w4n/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7egbcuzn22yhttps://bsky.app/profile/dragon0131.bsky.social/post/3m5yldrbgb22pDecades ago I looked up assault & battery. Reason was due to someone being charged with battery but not assault. Couldn’t understand how they could actually split that up. I mean, as far as my teenage mind could follow, the 2 were hand in hand. But I learned something when I found it. 1/19 Nov 2025 15:35 +0000at://did:plc:ocvlzmxvrup4d4v3wrzo7w4n/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5yldrbgb22phttps://bsky.app/profile/dragon0131.bsky.social/post/3m54us56ra22nHad my weekly monologue with my mom. Asked her about her insurance, she’s on a UH Medicare Advantage plan. Had been told by our Medicare person (we’re on reg Medicare w/MoO gap) that one of the 2 plans in her area was going away. She’ll call sometime soon to find out if she has to do anything. 1/08 Nov 2025 15:09 +0000at://did:plc:ocvlzmxvrup4d4v3wrzo7w4n/app.bsky.feed.post/3m54us56ra22nhttps://bsky.app/profile/dragon0131.bsky.social/post/3m3pqnj6ub22nMy heart is sick. My soul is dying. Watching an obsessed individual destroy what is America because he can. He demands love/admiration he never deserved. He is destroying our history because it isn’t his story. He has no intention of leaving the White House. This is what Congress & MAGA did to us.21 Oct 2025 16:25 +0000at://did:plc:ocvlzmxvrup4d4v3wrzo7w4n/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3pqnj6ub22nhttps://bsky.app/profile/dragon0131.bsky.social/post/3m3iuyoxkwk2cHubby & I headed to the KofC Oktoberfest earlier today. Passed by the National Guard Armory, big sign announcing a wrestling tournament. Hubby wondered why, didn’t make sense to him. So I told him about the WWE match coming up at the WH. He scoffed. 1/18 Oct 2025 22:54 +0000at://did:plc:ocvlzmxvrup4d4v3wrzo7w4n/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3iuyoxkwk2chttps://bsky.app/profile/dragon0131.bsky.social/post/3m2fsr5dtgk2sWent to the VEC (Volunteer Energy Cooperative) shareholders meeting held in Crossville TN this morning.

Only thing I was wrong about was him figuring things out. Apparently his radicalization was started with TP USA & continued with the Groyper group.13 Sep 2025 21:04 +0000at://did:plc:ocvlzmxvrup4d4v3wrzo7w4n/app.bsky.feed.post/3lyqojbvxhk2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/dragon0131.bsky.social/post/3lyiy6aaf2s2zWatching The Glass Onion.

Found out it’s also called a Mooch. Answer: 10 or 11 days. If I remember right, he was fired after 10.5 days, so the discrepancy is understandable.25 Jul 2025 03:40 +0000at://did:plc:ocvlzmxvrup4d4v3wrzo7w4n/app.bsky.feed.post/3lur4tjc2fc2o
