Pinned
June 27, 2023. The day we brought her home from the hospital after a 3 day stay. She couldn’t breathe or walk. We thought we’d lose her. They worked a miracle and got her back home. That’s our daughter hugging her while we all cried tears of joy. This has been pinned over there since that day 🐾❤️
Watching this again. When he talks about being the kind of dad he never had, ugh. That’s how I learned how to be a dad. Painful but so truthful.

4 years ago today. I was up late. About 1 AM I get a nixle alert saying stay inside, a bear has wandered into town. I saw the intersection in the alert. It was across the street. He stayed up there all day till he climbed down late that night & was escorted out of town.

Man, this series is so freakin good. All the elements plus, I dare say, a slight tinge of This Is Us feel. Great writing.

Not sure what this taqueria adds to these refried beans. I’ve asked her and she gave me a big smile but didn’t say. I know without a doubt that she adds lard, but there’s some other element that I just can’t figure out. Regardless, best refried beans I’ve ever had.

Update: the guy read my message, then proceeded to unfriend & block me. Probably because he had no possible rebuttal. Good riddance.
These fucking people are ridiculous. I’m starting to root out those I thought were open minded folks. But quite a few are racists. And I hate racists. Especially when it targets my own family. They can just fuck all the way off.

The employee (to my daughter): “Can I get a name for the order?”
My daughter: “It’s Jacklyn.”

Not Kirkland but from Costco. We’ve been buying this for years. Really good. I just add a few dashes of Tabasco to give it a nice little kick.

Ramen broth started. Roasted chunks of pork butt, oyster & king oyster mushrooms, couple serranos, garlic & chicken stock. Next will be roasted pollo asada thighs, spicy ground pork sausage and some ramen paste I ordered off of Amazon. Long process but worth it.

Do you plug your phone into a rental car to charge? Never do that. My spec ops brother reminded me of this when he was out recently. The car saves your info. Names, where you’ve traveled, etc etc etc. He showed me on his rental. Incredible. All that data saved by the car.
