@AuthorGFAllen After I read A Man Called Ove I dove into Fredrik Backman’s books. Same with Richard Osman and The Thursday Murder Club. Both authors are great but not all are 5 stars for me. What’s interesting is my favorite Thursday Murder Club books are #2 & #4 out of the 5.🤷♀️📚💞

For shits and giggles, I decided to see just how hard it would be to replace my birth certificate, Social Security card, AND my marriage license, since Democrats think women are too stupid to figure it out.
Here's how it went:
1. Birth certificate: Contacted the health department of the county where I was born. They OVERNIGHTED a certified copy to me the next day - total cost, $14.
2. SS Card: Contacted Social Security on their site. They asked if I was sure I needed the card, since I 'won't likely be asked for it.' I went ahead and got it - took five business days to arrive - total cost, $0.
3. Marriage License: Went to the 'vital docs' site of the county where we were hitched. Filled everything out online, arrived in three days - total cost, $5.
It cost less than $20 to obtain all three certified/legal documents, and it took less than five business days to receive them. Note: if I had lived where I was born or married, it would have been a day. Tops.
Anyone telling you this is too hard or unfair is lying and hiding the real reason they want to stop Voter ID.
I know you guys knew that already... lol

Mi sobrino de 16 años vino a quedarse a mi casa un fin de semana. Es un niño consentido que nunca ha escuchado un 'no'. El sábado, en un ataque de rabieta porque le pedí que bajara el volumen de su música, lanzó su iPhone 15 Pro Max contra mi televisor de 85 pulgadas y lo hizo trizas.
Mi hermana me dijo: 'Es solo un niño, está pasando por una etapa difícil, yo te ayudo a pagar la mitad de la tele el próximo mes'.
No dije nada. Tomé el iPhone del niño (que milagrosamente no se rompió), lo puse en el suelo y lo aplasté con mi bota frente a sus ojos hasta que quedó inservible.
Le dije a mi hermana: 'Ya no me debes nada. Estamos a mano. Él rompió mi juguete, yo rompí el suyo. Ahora enséñale lo que cuesta ganarse las cosas'.
Mi hermana se fue llorando y mi familia me expulsó del grupo de WhatsApp diciéndome que soy un violento y que 'traumatice' al niño. Yo digo que le di la única lección de consecuencias que sus padres no tuvieron el valor de darle.
¿Soy un adulto inmaduro que se rebajó al nivel de un adolescente, o la justicia inmediata es el mejor método de crianza?
