I helped my sister and brother in law move years back.
My BIL and I were outside by the truck. He was near the edge of the back of the truck.
As I looked over to him I heard him say, in his deep monotone voice “I’m falling,” as a statement of fact. Not a cry of fear.
I laughed just typing it.

In the first quarter, head coach Kevin McGuff used every single player on the 11-player roster.

I have three Veterans Day events this week. One at each of my kids’ schools.
Middle school is always good. Coffee was great and the photo booth was our best yet.
Talked with my kid about kpop. Met their friends. One said “I’ve never heard someone talk to their dad like that,” as a compliment.

It’s crazy how folks flex “there’s no moral capitalism” when it’s about something they like. I.E. Harry Potter.
If you can’t sacrifice the smallest thing like a book or movie in a life full of vast amounts of non-trans hating art, you’re part of the problem.

A moderate democrat is a closet republican. Why didn’t these losers just cave early on instead of letting people go without money for food for over a week.

At the press conference, Jaloni said it was her taking her first charge ever. She also said she will not be taking one again.
Aka she seems ok.
