@GretchenPSmith The turn around will happen when you least expect it, when the pain is almost all gone and suddenly, surprisingly, you’ll meet someone else who makes you feel love again.

You know what?!? I am not ashamed of what I am going through. It happens to millions of people. I am sharing my season of life to let others know you are not alone. Divorce is a very isolating, destructive journey. 31 years of marriage. It is the most emotional thing I have ever been through in my life. The gym has helped me to find strength on so many levels, and it has gotten me out of the house. I was isolating myself to the point it was not healthy. I am also leaning into my faith. I am doing the Read The Bible in a year option on the Bible app. I am praying and talking to God. It has saved my life. I know I will live, love and laugh again! It is coming. I will not live a lonely life.

@RepSwalwell @KabongoAmisi That’s because you are GUILTY AS CHARGED!!! You’re a real hypocrite as well as a class act, sarcasm et al.

@GuntherEagleman @elizabehsotner Ole Fungus Face will be a political hack/pundit on MSNBC, because they don’t care what he’s done as long as he hates Trump.

Last week, I was at a friend's birthday gathering at a crowded bar in D.C. and I somehow wound up in conversation with a small group of people about the war in Iran.
One of them fully supported the war and fully supported Trump. I politely sipped my drink and waited for the convo to move on. I didn't really want to talk about this during what was meant to be a laidback evening.
But then he said this: "The death toll has been surprisingly low for our military."
I asked him: "How do you mean?"
"Well, we've had a small number of troops killed, less than ten."
"Thirteen," I said. "Thirteen troops have been killed in combat."
"Right," he said. "That's a surprisingly low number. We've had a low fatality rate."
And, you know, I just couldn't let that go. I couldn't.
"Surprisingly low?"
He said: "Yeah, it could be much worse. We could have lost a lot more soldiers at this point."
I asked him: "Can you name any of the service members who were killed?"
"What?"
"Thirteen service members have been killed. Do you know any of their names?"
There was this long, awkward pause. And then he said: "I know some of their names have been published."
I said: "All of their names have been published. The last KIA was a few weeks ago. Do you know any of their names?"
Another long pause and then finally: "No, I don't."
Let me offer some friendly advice for anyone like this gentleman who is tempted to say this was a "surprisingly low" number of service members killed.
Don't make this observation if it's just a number to you.
Every one of these service members had loved ones, friends, a life back home.
Some of them had kids. Some of them had mortgages and front lawns to mow. Some of them had grills in their backyard they would have been using for parties with people they loved this summer.
Now they're gone, and their families and friends are always going to feel that loss.
You shouldn't be saying something like "surprisingly low" in the first place but especially when you don't know any of their names.
If U.S. military fatalities are "surprisingly low," it shouldn't take you any time at all to learn their names.
Friendly advice.

@MarindaVannoy1 It’s where rich people dress all weird and dance to ghay music and take all kinds of chemicals and buy way overpriced food.

@AmiriKing I believe Ocala might disagree with your statement.
