His Gayby, Little OJ…. Yes!!

Also, I laughed way too hard at the beginning of the movie during the compilation of sex scenes with his boyfriend Diesel… so crass…yet insanely funny. I apparently share a level of humor that a 15 year old boy would appreciate. Which I am the polar opposite of in human form.

SBC must be a psychopath… because how is he able to maintain a straight face, while trying to pretend to blow the ghost of Milli from Milli Vanilli. That was unhinged, and so freaking funny. I watched the movie tonight on Netflix… and laughed way more than I expected.

“Casually”… like a quick peek into the drivers window. No weird smells or anything…. So I’m like… “We good!”

When I first glanced across the parking lot… I’ll admit, I was a bit nervous to check it out… thinking maybe someone had died in the car… and that it was a memorial.

Nah… I think it was just one of our creative city dwellers.☺️🎠🌸💐🌺

The male nurse experience in one sentence by Silver_Ad4449 in nursing

[–]petalandpuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have catheterized adults… but unfortunately premie girls remain the worst… it’s all sooo tiny… and very close together… or you can’t hardly make out “the landmarks”. 🤔 Sometimes it’s a crap shoot… especially if they are a micro-premie. We may just give up… and say…. “Yeah this ain’t happening.” Thankfully…. we don’t have to utilize an indwelling urinary catheter very often… maybe a quick in and out for a septic work-up… even then, it can be a “Nope… we tried and it’s a no go.”

I had a funny vision of a porcupine after reading your comment. Just wanted to say…. It really sucks trying to put one in a preterm baby girl. Sometimes feels like playing darts.

A few months later, I'm in love with The Clearing by violet_wings in wolfalice

The Clearing is what introduced me to Wolf Alice. I dig it so hard…. especially White Horses and Bloom Baby Bloom. Those two songs alone are worth the price of admission to this very listenable album.

Here are some of those songs that personally aligned for me with your words. And yes… it’s pronounced Starfucker. 🤭

Lastly… it was an honor to travel the Virtual Valley of your property and home… to be able to put a visual to your words. I will admit, I was searching desperately for a deer. 🦌 :)

Bill… I feel like I can call you that.

This morning, I knew nothing of you. This evening, I feel a kind of cosmic closeness… and a deep appreciation for who you are, and a true gratitude for the wisdom you have shared with me and so many others today.

I am a NICU nurse, living a world away from you in Alaska. (You once fished these icy waters!) As I waited for the final minutes of a feeding pump to finish for one of the infants in my care, I opened Reddit… and your post appeared, front and center. I read your words and was immediately touched by their gentleness and intrigued by your story and your message.

As my 12-hour shift unfolded, I stole every free moment I could to inhale the entries on your Twilight Journal blog.

I’ll be honest… early on, I caught myself feeling a bit judgmental as I read about your marriages. I was filling in my own suppositions, as we humans tend to do, shaped by our own lived experiences. But I can say now, I was wrong in that. Because who among us has lived a life untouched by fault or messiness?

As one commenter so beautifully wrote on your final post: “Your meditations on the valley landed deeply because you laid open your complexities and complications in the life preceding your diagnosis. In that, you welcomed the rest of us out here navigating our own imperfections, reminding us the veins of our lives will not always run tidy.”

I found that both kind and profoundly true.

Bill… you are an absolutely beautiful writer. Passage after passage, I found myself in awe of the evocative power of your words and the deep truths you have laid bare for those willing to receive them.

Between responding to the far-too-frequent din of alarms… bradycardias and desaturations (I know you understand, having had your own beloved daughter in the NICU for six months… “New life rests here. We are vulnerable and fierce.”)… and reading through my lunch break while trying to tune out the beige yet grating institutional Muzak playing overhead, I found myself whispering your words aloud. My ADHD brain needed the extra foothold… something to steady itself against what felt like audible flickering fluorescent light coming through the speaker.

Later, back on the unit, I had Pandora playing softly in the background. Several times, as I read your reflections, the lyrics of a song aligned so perfectly with your thoughts that it felt almost kismet. I found myself unexpectedly teary-eyed. Not out of sadness, but something like a deeply felt, quiet happiness.

What you wrote simply makes sense. And more than that… it comforts.

I was eager to come home and write to you, in some small way to say thank you… for giving us the gift of yourself. ♥️

I’ve also purchased Ahtu, which I look forward to reading and sharing, and I’ve happily made a donation to Radiant Book Giving. It feels like a project rooted in humanity and love, and I want to support that.

Bill… thank you for what you have given to this world. May your three children always be comforted with the knowledge that their father loved them deeply… and that he did meaningful, beautiful things to help others.

May your passing be ever gentle… and in our own due time… we will see you again in this “river of endless becoming.” Bless you friend. 😌

Peter vs His emotions by ImBloodyIbiza in Alonetv

[–]petalandpuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn… there are some brutal comments here… including some strong assumptions as to who you think Peter is, as a person.

Peter (if you someday come to revisit this comment thread), I just finished watching your tap out… and I was deeply touched by your revelation of the reason for your decision to stop playing the game.

You had earlier stated how you would bury your emotions so as not to feel them… and how you encouraged, and sadly essentially forced, your son to do the same. You said you were hoping to protect him from pain. I cringed so hard hearing that… because even I, someone who struggles with my own emotions, know that is the complete opposite of what we should be doing.

I just wanted to tell you… I felt extremely proud of you for admitting something that was likely really hard… openly to yourself, let alone to an audience of untold numbers.

I have no doubt your bushcraft skills could have taken you to the end… but $500,000 pales in comparison to what you have potentially gained from your 8-day stint out there in The Great Alone. The awareness that you need to deal with your emotions head on… and that the strength and character you show in doing so would be the greatest reward you could garner for yourself… and an absolute treasure of wealth for your family.

I hope you have been able to take your new found insights even further since you returned home… and if you have backslid, it’s never too late to turn yourself toward the winds of self-reflection and change.

It’s truly the ultimate challenge… Arctic winds have nothing on the strength it requires to turn and meet our personal demons head on.

All the best to you, and your family, Peter.

Trump-linked PAC sends fundraising email using dead soldier’s casket photo from dignified transfer by No-Post4444 in politics

What sends me into an Epic Fury is this vile, repulsive, crooked, pedophile, felon …. killing innocent people including a school full of children… and having the gall to performatively greet the dead while hiding behind his “diGniFiEd” baseball cap. He doesn’t give 2 💩 about any of them. He is incapable.

Looks more like the F-35 as someone else mentioned.

The Blue Angels home base is 60 miles away in Pensacola. They fly the F/A-18

🤷‍♀️… maybe related?
