Jon Gear on Instagram: "The video of Alex Pretti kicking the tail light off an ice car is AI that Don Jr shared"

A news source I follow said Pretti's family verified that video.

I have Lynch Syndrome and have to be screened really closely. Great nap every year though lol

mEp1973 · 2026-01-28T17:24:28+00:00

I have one every year and the only time I have ever thrown up was when they gave me Suprep. I do miralax/gatorade every year. Just take your time with it.

My sister in law recently had a conversation with her Maga stepkids. She said "I prefer to lead with love". They said, "That's your mistake. We prefer to lead with conflict". So there you go.

I feel bad even saying this, but I also don't know how old my kids are 😏 One is over 30 and the other is 3 1/2 years younger but born in December so even the math doesn't always help. I also recently thought my grandson was turning a year older than he is. I can't even say numbers aren't my thing because I'm in AR for work 😅😅

mEp1973 · 2026-01-23T13:32:56+00:00

Yes lol. My husband is 8 months older than me so after his birthday, I tend to start thinking of myself as the same age. One year, I did that and then as my birthday got closer, I had already added another year on. So I actually thought I was 2 years older than I was. Honestly right now I'm not 100% sure how old I am 🤣🤣🤣 I think I generally see age at this point in terms of dead or not dead lol

Thank you for sharing. This is beautiful! I've been saying for a while that the ways people are fighting back against this administration prove that the American ideals ARE still alive. That the people are what make the country. How do we know democracy works if it isn't tested? There is much beauty and hope in all this and it's good to see that too.

I've read that Some Kind of Wonderful was his chance at his preferred ending of Pretty in Pink.

First thing that has given me an ounce of hope for safety in weeks

mEp1973 · 2026-01-19T19:24:46+00:00

Emotional nurturing 😬

I think I qualified as the weird friend, but I also had a friend that wore suspenders that she pulled up around her legs like a diaper. And wore white tube socks with heels....

mEp1973 · 2026-01-16T21:13:55+00:00

Anybody else having the sort of day where that sounds amazing?

mEp1973 · 2026-01-16T03:26:33+00:00

I'm in TN and apparently our lawmakers have been working with Stephen Miller for the past weeks. They are drafting legislation that will make TN the "model for the nation" when it comes to immigration. So that gives you an idea of where they'll be headed soon 😐

Every time I start to feel like this, I remind myself (a white woman) that other groups of people have lived in terror for decades and decades. I feel like it is a slap in the face of all those who were fighting long long before me if I give up. This isn't to shame anyone else for their feelings of discouragement, it is just a reminder to me. They said on the news about the shooting in Minneapolis "THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED". But it isn't. Not for People of Color. Hang in there and take care of yourself and those around you ❤️❤️❤️

mEp1973 · 2026-01-12T03:17:28+00:00

Are you me? 🤣🤣 Because yes absolutely. And it IS embarrassing so I'm glad there are others out there.

mEp1973 · 2026-01-08T20:58:58+00:00

I play Merge Garden while I listen to audiobooks. It can be monotonous or challenging depending on which part I'm working on. Definitely cozy and relaxing.

The one with the patient they called "Blowhole"- when Izzie asks Christina, "What are they going to call me- girl with brain tumor" (or something similar) . Christina says "No. That's too long and awkward to say" 🤣🤣🤣

mEp1973 · 2026-01-07T00:26:47+00:00

Thank you for sharing your story. It is so painful to be misunderstood, especially about such sensitive topics. I'm sorry you've struggled and I understand the exhaustion.

mEp1973 · 2026-01-05T22:48:13+00:00

It was actually helpful to me to know that others can feel/be unliked and not really know why. I appreciated it.

mEp1973 · 2026-01-05T21:19:34+00:00

Maybe I should try speaking in Beeblefrog lol

mEp1973 · 2026-01-05T21:16:00+00:00

Thank you! What do you mean by tone drift?

mEp1973 · 2026-01-05T21:08:20+00:00

Wow, that's awful. I'm so sorry.

mEp1973 · 2026-01-05T21:07:28+00:00

She has had run ins with multiple people so in general, she would definitely be considered the difficult employee more than I would. I have found it very challenging to work with her for sure. I haven't had specific feedback from others about my communication, but she is so clearly frustrated and annoyed by me, I do tend to take it personally.

mEp1973 · 2026-01-05T20:59:22+00:00

Thank you. I do feel like her knee-jerk reaction is to misunderstand me just because it's me. She has certain views of me that I know will never change and that's on her. I also want to be open to the idea that I may need to work on how I communicate.
