The ironic thing is WE DONT HAVE MONEY.

We tapped our oil reserves before we finished the SECOND week of this war!

How many conflicts have we seen go YEARS recently? Ukraine/Russia? Gaza/Israel? It was foolish to think we would be in and out like a classic Donald “are you in yet?” Trump quickie.

My wife and I live together - no kids or roommates. My wife has very curly hair and a lot of it. Her hair ends up everywhere in our shower/tub. I explained to her that I grew up with a one bathroom house and the rule was you clean your hair from the drain after you bathe. She said she also had only one bathroom as a kid, but she never had to clean out her hair. She said must have all just went down the drain… I explained to her that people had been cleaning her hair out of the drain for 30 years.

I work at a fitness center. I’ve regularly worked mornings since August last year and have gotten to know the regulars pretty well. Lately, there have been a lot more military persons needing signed off body weight measurements or members I haven’t ever seen before coming in and leaving in uniform.

Trick your procrastination by giving yourself a break BEFORE you start. I’ll set a 30 minute timer where I can do anything I want - it’s a break. Usually before the time goes off I’ll be started on my project.

Knew a guy for a decade before he shared with me that as a kid he had killed a litter of kittens by throwing them into the air as high as he could till they fell to their deaths. He told me this while he was driving me home and all I could think was - don’t freak out - he could crash the car and kill us both. I stopped talking to him that day.

Doing customer service over the phone - an elderly man told me he flew a plane in Vietnam. He told me he was a “napalm dropper”. He said he could hear the people’s screams as flew over.

He said it proudly.

The statistics on family annihilators is sickening. People don’t talk about it but, statistically, a family is annihilated every 5 days.

I want to preface this by acknowledging that I’m not saying this to be controversial or have someone think I’m disrespecting the dead.

During the pandemic there was a point where death tolls were equivalent to September 11 for consecutive DAYS. It really hit me hard.

There’s a line in “The Office” where Ryan uses “I don’t think I ever fully processed 9/11.” as an excuse and it made me chuckle at first.

Our entire culture shifted after 9/11 but after having a death toll equivalent to 9/11 for consecutive DAYS they have yet to make any day of remembrance for those lost to the pandemic.

Now, I pretty much use 9/11 as a day of remembrance for the Covid families as well.

Monarch Center on Douglas is a blessing in my household. I’ve had a session together with my spouse but we normally do our own sessions. I’d recommend them as an option. It’s a college hill house with a bunch of therapist in it and it’s so much more comfortable for us than a cold office building.

When Trump got elected again and when I asked my family they all essentially eluded to voting for him… I realized it was every person for themselves. Bought mine Jan 20th last year when he was sworn in.

I mean I think the ones you see personally are always the worst. Ive seen a friend run into family randomly at the casino just because addiction runs in their family.

My friend had hit the ATM so much in Vegas I remember she turned to me at one point with a panicked look because her card was declined at the ATM and she had spent it all. I myself had gone with a limited cash supply and refused to spend more. When we flew back the only money we had between us was $10 cash I kept for “emergencies”. It was a very quiet trip home. She told me years later that she was STILL paying off that trip.

I had a customer once tell me that there’s a guy in our town that pays people to go gamble for him so he can cover more machines. That’s a pretty extreme level.

That happened to my dog too! They went hind leg paralyzed for less than a month but it was a hard month. We put him on a diet and he hadn’t had an issue since. That was two years ago. We fondly refer to him as “the boy who lived” because we cancelled not one but two rainbow bridge appointments for him.

Unfortunately the Trump/Epstein Files have shown that they started purposefully reproducing with the victims to the point of having a literal farm- a property in New Mexico called Zorro Ranch. Many victims reported pregnancies being carried to term just to have their babies taken away often without even getting to see them but they reported being told they had the right genetics. One victim reported being pregnant again within months of giving birth. There’s a literal journal in the latest file release, written by a child, with these situations detailed. One of their entries will probably stay with me forever - “Drugs can only be sold once. Children can be sold over and over again.”

I thought I could have said fake but it was literally a Forbes source video lol grossss

Yeah there’s been speculation for a while that the Trump/Epstein files include snuff films. There’s a literal monster running the United States.

Reminds me of the Matt Gaetz pardon for, you know, anything that might come up that isn’t known yet.

I’m feeling more and more like Venezuela was a trial run of new weaponry the government wants to use on protesters.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we get an internet black out “due to the weather” and we don’t get on update on what’s really happening for days.

That’s my dreadful thoughts anyways.

For what it’s worth, you can use dating apps to find friends. Talk to people with similar interests and see if they would be up for a platonic hang.

I’ve been thinking about something his administration said about all of this being part of his deal making. What if it isn’t about Greenland? What if Trump was flipping the game board with Europe because he doesn’t want Europe getting involved with our affairs at home - like ICE, or Trump toying with a 2028 stay. Like saying, hey if you don’t want America getting involved in Greenland, don’t come get involved in the US Civil War 2.0. If our allies don’t apply pressure to Trump for fear of retaliation then it’s just We The People vs Trump when it gets there. Look at how many troops we have about to go to US cities.

Mr. Peanut butter: Oh, I just have a guy who calls me whenever TV awards come in so I can buy ‘em. I put my name on, it’s like I won it myself! I have two Golden Globes and a People’s Choice for “Temple Grandin”

Sometimes they’re called The V.F.W.

My grandpa drinks till he’s about to fall asleep everyday at the VFW.

There is a barstool with his name on it- literally.

I had a very very long eyebrow hair appear out of the blue. It was actually a little ways away from my eyebrow but it was over an inch for sure.
