"I don't trust it. I've always been so curious, hold on, hold on, I'm so scared" 😂 "Woooo can't do it!" 😂 "Thank God" 🙏🏻
Curiosity killed the cat Matt. Don't play in it LOL your first reaction is on point 😁
I miss the euphoric first few months of Trump’s second term. The rapid-fire EOs dismantling woke orthodoxy. The sweet shrieking from the left. Elon and DOGE hacking off the tentacles of entrenched government waste. It felt like an autistic Camelot, and I was giddy. We were giddy.
@ick_real Find a quiet woman, marry her, and have as many children as you can possibly (physically) make. Don’t ever stop or slow down and you will live the richest most fulfilling life imaginable.

I relapsed last night.
I don’t even really know what to say… I’m just tired, frustrated, and honestly kinda disappointed in myself.
I wanted to hide it and pretend it didn’t happen, but that’s exactly how I end up deeper in this.
This isn’t easy at all. Some days it feels like I’m fighting my own brain every second.
But I still want this. Even after last night, I still want to get clean for real.
So I’m here, being honest, starting over again. day 1.
What happened tonight is a stark reminder. The Bolsheviks want to kill us all. They don’t care about our disagreements. They don’t care about our squabbling. They want to kill us and our families and they will laugh about it. The evil is real
@mattvanswol@realchasegeiser@LABeachGal1 You're feeling the pull of the Spirit on this one brother. You'll figure the how just fine, and then you'll have decades to be grateful for how fantastically it all turned out 🙏
@realchasegeiser@LABeachGal1 My wife and I have already decided our 5 year old son will be homeschooled.
We really have no choice in the matter.
Private schools are woke. Public’s schools are worse.
Homeschool is literally the only option left.
No idea how we will do it, but we have to do it.
I pay 1,000 dollars a month to send my daughter to catholic school to protect her from woke bullshit.
I just went to her first recital where the kids are singing the theme song from the musical Rent, about how many minutes are left in a year in the context of being diagnosed with aids.
What the actual fuck.
@menscoach1 He has been released from his obligations to his wife with biblical justification (adultery). Now, he has an obligation to himself and most importantly to his two young children to prevent her evil from spreading. Leave her, take your kids, and teach them to be obedient to God.
My wife cheated on me after 10 years of marriage. She had an affair with her gym trainer, and it lasted a year.
She cried and begged for forgiveness. I stayed for our two young kids.
That was 2 years ago, but the pain is still fresh. I am consumed by anger every day.
The images replay nonstop.
I hate my marriage. I hate my wife. I hate myself.
I feel like I’ve lost direction. I don’t know where to go... or where to stop.
How do I stop hating myself... for who I’ve become?
--From my Dm, give him some advice.
@Riley_Gaines_ ehh no, perhaps our critical thinking skills are so adept that we conflate the presence of the Vice President of the United States of America with relative safety and security instead?
Charlie was assassinated in front of thousands of students on a college campus just seven months ago.
Are our memories really so short that we’d fault his wife for taking credible threats to her safety seriously?
You're in the thick of it right now and I suspect that it can feel lonely and exhausting and crazy at times..
I beg you, the next time you feel soreness or exhaustion, like reaaaallly feeling it, look at your beautiful baby and smile while studying his face and his quirks and mannerisms.
Emotions are the ink used to write long term memories. You're feeling justifiably adverse emotions.. the long term memories will be written whether you like it or not.
Use that time to command the pen, and write memories of love and patience and strength and beauty and grace.
Keep up the great work Julie, you are his whole world right now and you're nailing it.
Usually by 7 weeks my babies are eating every 3+hrs but since Littlest Man was a preemie he's still on that newborn schedule of every 1.5-2hrs and it's starting to wear on me. I'm not giving up, he's gaining weight super well (he's now 7lbs 4z oz up from his NICU discharge weight of 4lbs 1oz) but I'm tired and sore, I can't wait for him to start putting some space between these feedings.
I took my 11 year old to her checkup this morning and the nurse asked me to step out of the room for a moment. I politely declined and she said, "It's just for a moment." And I told her, "No thank you, given all the stories about children being abused my husband and I decided to never leave our children alone with anyone, even medical providers. Anything you need to do or say you can do with me in the room." She looked all miffed and just left, no idea what her plan was but she didn't feel the need to continue it with me present and that makes me even more suspicious?? When she left my daughter thanked me for not leaving, she's already shy about the doctor, her eyes got so wide when the lady asked me to leave.
@Hikergirl84@JulieLovesFluff@cindy_will54556 A. That's not your job.
B. If you MUST ask, do it while I'm in the room.
C. If you suspect abuse you can involve police or child protective services.
Stay focused, you’re not the savior you think you are.
As a medical provider, I will tell you it’s to ask about abuse. It’s even done with adults. The victim won’t speak in front of a family member, or the abuser.
When you deliver an 11 year old’s baby, because her father was sexually abusing her, you understand.
Not everything is a conspiracy.
@AnonGTK@cinj216@streets_a_head@JulieLovesFluff I’m not implying anything. Yes leaving a child in an abusive household is much more dangerous than leaving them alone with a doctor to ask 5 questions.
