What do WWI dog tags, crank phone calls to unethical funeral homes, and speed-riddled, pistol-packing truck drivers have in common? Listen to the last episode in our current series to find out. familybites.podbean.com/e/the-funeral-…

What will people say about you at your funeral? Hopefully, it'll be some like the memories shared in this episode of the Family Bites Podcast. podbean.com/eas/pb-3vkj3-1…

@DeGironimo At least she's the first Governor in the modern era to have a lead-in act conveying that timeless truth "Never trust a big butt and a smile." In all seriousness, the Liz Lemon dancers were great.

This is embarrassing... the amount of disrespect for everyone's time is unreal

@lawler4ny I'm sorry for your loss.

This morning, my Grandfather Vincent Fortino, lovingly known as Fuzzy, passed away. He was many things, but always a loving grandfather. On Election Day, I got to spend some time with him and let him know how much I love him. I will always cherish our bond. Five years ago, when my grandmother passed away, her last request was that she get five years without him — we all laughed. But she got her wish and now they are reunited for eternity. We love and miss you both, always.

@danacarvey Please accept condolences from a stranger who lost his only brother to a drug overdose almost a decade ago. Your family is in my prayers.

@TransientImage Sorry that I'm just seeing this now (been busy since my Dad died on June 10th). Glad to hear that your wife is okay.

Family and friends are what's important to me and I want to be there for them, and be better to myself. Again it's not personal so I'm sorry if I didn't respond. Take care of your health and happiness everyone! /end

I don't usually talk about my personal life much but, last week my wife had a pretty bad accident. Thankfully she is recovering, but as a result I decided to cut back on most of my social media usage. I want to focus on us more and enjoying my hobbies. /1

@Totally_Teagan One=wonder

@Totally_Teagan No one you young folks have such a hard time striking up conversations IRL. Boomers have taken away all the things they used to start conversations when they were 18 😉

@ReyersPB @MaterGarruli As someone who lives about a half hour from there, I second all these comments. Plus, the Mohawk Valley has enough hills that you won't feel too homesick!

@MaterGarruli If you ever get to go, it’s also worth going to the St. Kateri Shrine (tbh, that one is my favorite) as it is right down the road!

@Totally_Teagan @PapistMelli No, it just means you have horrible taste in desserts.

@Totally_Teagan @FrNickOFMConv The wildest part is that Buffalo is usually not the snowiest city in Upstate New York. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Sn…

I miss Buffalo so much sometimes lolol

@EndOfDaysWoman Neti pot with a mixture of saline and Alkalol (old timey essential oil combo available in a lot of pharmacies alkalolcompany.com). This came recommended by a family friend who is an ENT surgeon.

favorite home treatment for congestion? already doing honey & lemon tea, steam showers, Vicks, mucinex

@nee_massey I must be one of those rare people who has spent more on my favorite bands because of streaming. I've bought two collector's edition albums and three pairs of concert tickets in the last few months because of offers that were made to me through Spotify.

maybe we should accept that our music is our gift to the world😁 and i should bake cakes for a living

admission i buy films to watch i don't 'buy' music, i pay to stream it so an album i want to listen to feels like it has less intrinsic value than a film i want to watch maybe because i make records, there's less mystery..

@martyrmade 2001 was also a mere seven years since RIchard Marx had been culturally relevant.

Wow, they still make these? Takes me back to 2001, and the kid I used to beat up and make do my homework sophomore year.

@RCAnnaKate In a fallen world, that might be the best any of us can hope for. Have a good rest of your day.
