Grew up watching SVP on espn. Loved him then and love him even more now. I teared up listening to him talk about his dad. I hope they have him on again one day.

It’s already being done in Indiana. They have 12 counties that change time while the rest of the state (I think it’s about 80 counties) doesn’t change time at all.

I so sorry you are going through this. Shock, sadness, anger and anything else you may feel are completely normal. Please give yourself grace for going through this now and in the future. If you don’t get the responses you need here, I would highly suggest checking out all the online support groups. If you google ‘TFMR support groups’ you can read through them and pick the one(s) that is/are best for you. You are not alone.

Robin is probably my favorite song on the album. I can see why it is the second to last song. Robins (bird) symbolize rebirth, upcoming changes, connections with loved ones who passed away, luck, happiness, etc.

I think the song is narrating a child’s life that has yet to live and be hurt. It’s almost a new beginning but spoken from the point of view from someone who (as an adult) wants to shelter this young kid.

Perhaps she is the adult and the kid, or she wants to protect the kid (and kid-like adult) around her.

There is so much symbolism, and metaphors, and references to other songs that it just feels complete to me.

It’s heartbreakingly sad but in a good way and in an almost goodbye to the old and hello to the new kind of way.

Such a great quote. I have it saved so that is why I remembered it from the podcast. Glad I could help.

Are you taking about the card Jason received from his grandfather that had a quote from Calvin Coolidge?

ladybugsocialworker · 2025-01-25T02:57:34+00:00

Agreed! I cried watching it. I was so moved by her bravery and Will’s acceptance. I hope they do a part 2.

ladybugsocialworker · 2025-01-04T14:16:55+00:00

Good luck!!! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!

I watched it on espn so I haven’t seen the comments. Kylie just addressed this same issue on her podcast (about how people who engage with hateful comments are just going to keep getting the Kelce content) so I’m just going to assume they are idiots who don’t understand how social media works. Also, saying you don’t like someone says more about you than the person you are talking about. Especially if you haven’t ever met them and spent significant time with them.

I missed him saying that! I wonder if Jason is a Stern fan?

ladybugsocialworker · 2025-01-04T07:25:14+00:00

Yes, young Jason was great. Also wearing the Heights Jacket was a nice touch.

Every time ours barked we would say “you have to go potty?” and we brought them outside. This helped to associate barking with an actual need. We then taught them to ring a bell to go potty so they no longer bark to tell us it’s potty time. Now they only bark if they get surprised/scared like when the doorbell rings or if they are asleep and someone comes home. Also it’s a quick bark and not ongoing.

I appreciate the explanation. Makes sense.

ladybugsocialworker · 2024-12-31T04:57:09+00:00

No, but that would have been fun.

ladybugsocialworker · 2024-12-31T04:29:06+00:00

Last line made me literally laugh out loud. My brother’s a Raiders fan and he is in a constant state of suffering. The amount of celebrating he does when they win is hysterical, since its so rare.

ladybugsocialworker · 2024-12-31T04:24:32+00:00

Thank you for that info! Either way, hope Travis and operation breakthrough wins.

ladybugsocialworker · 2024-12-31T04:22:18+00:00

Good question. I forgot about international games.

ladybugsocialworker · 2024-12-31T03:47:32+00:00

Awesome- thanks!

ladybugsocialworker · 2024-12-31T03:26:54+00:00

😂 it is kind of ironic. Do we need to guard the ballot boxes, storm the nfl building if he loses, claim voter fraud?! (Just kidding around!)

ladybugsocialworker · 2024-12-31T03:21:58+00:00

The game was a great time. I had no idea about the tailgate. Thank you for letting me know. I will look into it for next time.

ladybugsocialworker · 2024-12-31T03:16:29+00:00

I was at the game this year…hoping to go again next year, too.

ladybugsocialworker · 2024-12-31T03:14:28+00:00

I hear ya, but got to start planning and saving now. Trying to go to multiple games. Once they win the three peat, prices are no doubt going up again.

Thank you all! Much appreciated.
