@JackLinFLL Yes, and the person in charge of recording the temperature readings probably looked forward to a cold one in the mid afternoon. 🍻🌴🌞

I bet Key West in 1873 was seriously bad ass

@JackLinFLL It's those outliers in the store with shoulder MANPADs that mess it up for the rest of us.

So there is a new sign up at my Publix. I never once saw anyone open carrying in there anyway so I wonder what prompted this.

@slimplimsoll I would at least steam the milk a bit, you know, give it a head.

If I had a penis, I’d totally stick it in a glass of milk to see if it would drink.

@slimplimsoll Now no sleep for me. I mean even less than before.

Everyone can safely have a crush on me because I’m old and fat and sexy, but basically don’t care about anything.

@Pergament_F Casting a long shadow is a noble pursuit, as is imagining it whilst still alive.

"When you pass through the bazaar, stop by the Yeni Mosque. Around the entire grounds there is a high wall. Inside, beneath enormous trees, lie graves whose occupants no one remembers anymore. The people say that this mosque was once, before the coming of the Turks, a church dedicated to Saint Catherine. They believe that even now, in one of its corners, there is a sacristy which no force on earth can open. And if you look more closely at the stones of that ancient wall, you will see that they come from Roman ruins and tombstones. On the stone built into the mosque enclosure you can still quite clearly read the calm and orderly Roman letters of a fragmentary inscription: ‘Marco Flavio optimo.’ And deep beneath them, in the invisible foundations, there are great blocks of red granite, remnants of a far older cult -once a sanctuary of the god Mithras. Upon one of those stones there is an almost erased relief depicting the young god of light, running as he slays a gigantic boar. And who knows what else lies hidden in the depths beneath those foundations. Who knows whose labors are buried there, and what traces have been erased forever. And this is only on one small patch of land, in this remote little town. Where, then, are all the countless other great settlements of the world?" Ivo Andrić, "Consular Times: The Travnik Chronicle" Sometimes the greatest truth about humanity does not lie in what we have built, but in the layers of oblivion buried beneath our own foundations. Upon the ruins of one god rises a church, upon the church a mosque, and beneath it all remains the silent memory of time- something that never completely disappears. History is not a straight line, but a deep wound in the earth where every age buries the one before it, without ever truly destroying it. And perhaps this is the destiny of man: to live upon the shadows of others, until he himself slowly becomes a shadow for those who come after him.

@ShamashAran You have a point, dear cat lady. Casablanca was a romantic story for guys and it has done rather well.

I'm going to make a humble suggestion, if you can stomach even thinking about it. Write a romance series for guys. I know. I know. Stay with me here. If you do it right, guys will love it.

@ShamashAran To make cutting-edge social media posts?

@themaddierune Congratulations! Your heart speaks with resonant insight. What you are saying means a lot to me, a guy who bought his first house a year ago, at the tender age of 69. 🏡 🌴🌞🌹

I’m literally shaking. After a decade of saving and four years in a mobile tiny home, I’m officially buying my first REAL home at 34. It’s a little brick ranch in a coastal southern town. It feels like my whole life is beginning again. It feels like a second chance after years of trauma, addiction, and hurting people I loved. It feels like every dream I whispered to myself in the dark is finally stepping into the sun. It feels like the life I thought I’d lost is walking back up the driveway to meet me, whispering in my ear: hello you, I was lost for a long time, but I’m back and I missed you. And my children are finally getting a forever place to grow up and come back to. I used to think I ruined everything and there was no hope. I used to think I was disqualified from all good things because of my mistakes. If you need a sign to keep going, this is it. It’s not too late for you. It’s never too late to start again. Please don’t give up on yourself.

@Pergament_F Vaguely tropical... ☕🌞 🌴 🌴 🌴 📚📚📚📚📚

@Demeter_Erinia Yes. I have a good voice, in person and on the phone. A conversation on the phone relies solely on one's verbal skills. Some people thrive within that.

@JamesJanner 🤣 Do you still enjoy phone calls? I think a lot of millennials hate them now

Those who were teens before social media… How did you communicate with your friends?

@SoveyX Speaking of annoying, might you secretly be over 65 years old?? 😅😍🌹🍻

Yes, I know, I did it backwards on purpose to annoy people. 😂

May the 4th be with you, nerds! I don’t watch Star Trek or Star Wars, but I did mix them up once in casual conversation and briefly feared for my life. And since I know you people have a thing for ethnic chicks from other planets in 1960s gear, consider this my act of intergalactic charity. P.S. I’m a nerd too, just on different things. 🖖

@Mashaivanova83 I'm really sorry that my library book is late... 🌹

@JackLinFLL Miami Formula 1 race delayed three hours to avoid some of the rain. Florida man remains behind the wheel. So I'm avoiding the roads for now 😅 🏎️ 🏁 🚗

WOW good morning!!! I almost forgot what this sound is

@Pergament_F And of course you and Sophia Loren are next to each other in my feed.... 📚📚📚🌹

Because I have a jealous son, here's one with my son!😄

@Pergament_F Of course you are wearing white. It may be the evening's protocol, but it is also you. 🍻🌹📚📚📚

For the record: the evening begins, and I am, against all statistical expectations, ready for my godson’s prom. Not as a participant in collective excitement. That would be unreasonable. More as a composed observer of a very specific human phenomenon: the moment in which youth dresses itself as adulthood… and believes it. I will be there. Present. Elegant. Mildly analytical. And if everything goes according to plan, I might even allow myself… a controlled amount of emotion. :)

@attackdogX There >are< three types of bras: Ones that make her look like she's wearing a bra, ones that make her look like she's not wearing a bra, and ones that make her look like she's wearing a bra but would rather not be wearing it.

A man walked into the ladies section of a department store. He shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said. 'I'd like to buy a bra for my wife' 'What type of bra?' asked the clerk. 'Type?' inquires the man 'There is more than one type?' 'Look Around,' said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size, color, and material. 'Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only 3 types of bras,' replied the salesclerk. Confused, the man asked ‘what are the 3 types?’ The saleslady replied: ‘The Catholic type, the Salvation Army type, and the Baptist type. Which one do you need?' Still confused the man asked 'What is the difference between them?' The lady responded 'It is all really quite simple…. ‘The Catholic type supports the masses, the Salvation Army type lifts up the fallen, and the Baptist type makes mountains out of mole hills.’
