And people say you can't get love from inanimate objects...

Just look at that face!!!
In 10 days our neighbors will get married on their front porch. The whole block is caught up in wedding mania. Love is in the air & everyone’s giddy.
I wrote a tune for the occasion. Mooy McMooFace, garden mascot, is going to get a new outfit. She’ll have a tiara, veil, faux pearls, & a bouquet.

Estimates of the people who have needlessly died since USAID was shut down exceed 600,000 victims, 2/3 of them children.

This is all because of the Big, Beautiful Bill and slightly more than Every Man, Woman, and Child in Wyoming.

This is directly tied to the Trump Administration, the 2025 Plan,

Someone should tell Ryan he can't get love from inanimate objects.

Did some checking and if you can make the connection out of ORD, you should have a clean shot to AUS. Good luck!
I just found out you and Martha are doing a thing at Central Prez.

Excellent!

Good luck on the connections. Keep us in the loop.

Fire pit!
This is out on the street next to mine for free. Tell me I shouldn’t get it because I don’t need an ancient wood (coal?) stove and making a planter or art installation out of it is a waste…

Damn, Lisa.

Holds nose, runs from the room, wheezing.
The Hurl of Sandwich.

The defendant walked free, with a rye smile on his face.

Despite grilling him, the prosecution was unable to summon the special sauce needed to get a conviction. Their case was toast from the beginning.

And thus a hero was born.

I'm sorry. I'm trying to delete this

And what Religion is that, Mr. Evans The Schism That Doesn't Break Bread With Jews (Christian Fuckwits Sect)?
The media is rushing 300 “New York Jews worried about Mamdani antisemitism” fetch essays based on nothing but Mamdani being a Muslim meanwhile the Republican Party from top to toe has the confidence to wear nazi makeup every day knowing the press looks at it like the westworld bots seeing a polaroid
