This was me hugging my big bro bye at the airport before he left for the Bambino World Series in Oakland. He hit a homer in their regionals to send them, which you can clearly see he was happy about in this article.
I miss him so much! He died sixteen years ago, today. My only sibling. He suffered a lot with demons. They made him feel unworthy. If only he knew he was worthy of so many things.
He was so smart! Should’ve been a contestant on Jeopardy, but instead, he got to be a contestant on Wheel Of Fortune. Imagine that. Made it to the final round, but couldn’t figure out the ‘In the kitchen’ puzzle… “Brownie Mix.” 🤣 He still walked away with over $17,000 that day. I was so proud! We all had a watch party when it came on. Definitely a funny feeling seeing him on TV talking to Pat Sajak.
He was married and a father to a 5 yo boy, my sweet nephew. He had a degree in criminal justice and worked for the state. He was very passionate, which almost got him in some deep hot water by the government one day… another story. 😳 He was quick witted, funny, outgoing, strong and loved sports… The Chiefs, the Royals, the Hogs and yes, Auburn. He protected his friends and especially me. He loved me so much, even though I drove him crazy. Our relationship struggled early on, but we bonded when I was around 14-15 and we became very close. He wrote a poem about me. He and my dad had a way with words. Made me jealous, but I’m so grateful for that poem…. titled “My Girl.” I was his baby sister, although he told my mom to take me back and get a boy. 🤣
Anyway, enough rambling. My big brother took his life on this day in Fayetteville. He was on a work trip. I had just had Gracie a month before. He was helping me move and didn’t show up. He left out of town a day early. I wish I would’ve known. I never expected anything. He wasn’t showing any signs to me of a struggle, but I know he was. I feel guilt over not seeing his pain. My heart was broken that day. 💔
When I say to you guys that mental health matters, I’m not just saying it to say it. I’ve lived it. It’s a nightmare that never goes away. Please listen to me…. If any of you are ever struggling, know that I am here. I love you. Other people love you. You mean something to so many people, even if they don’t tell you. Reach out to your family, friends, coworkers, mental health crisis lines, your doctor or ME! I mean that!!! Seriously! You can also dial 988 on your phone to reach the Suicide Prevention Hotline. I love y’all. It’s going to be a great day. ♥️
@chris_iani28423@HorseToWatch I’ve been going for about 30 yrs and I can tell you that if you stand on the rail and look down the stretch it has the appearance it goes downhill. I’ve always thought that. I just dismissed it as an optical illusion.
@Bsherrelly@HorseToWatch From horseman I know who have raced there for years (of course the track would never admit this) all contend, and years ago hired a surveyor out of their own pocket, proved that the backstretch is perfectly flat, and the homestretch has a 1-2° downgrade. Minor, but there.
This is going to be an interesting Kentucky Derby. Renegade certainly had his answer for Commandment and the Florida horses, absolutely crushing this Arkansas Derby field with a huge late kick. Final eighth in 11.84 seconds!
@HorseToWatch Oaklawn stretch is literally, not figuratively, on a slight downward grade. Last eighths there are frequently 12 flat, 12 and change for $20,000 claimers
GITCHA B*TCH! 🤣
🚨 KABOOM! Democrat Rep Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who claimed she was being targeted because she’s black, the House Ethics Committee just found that she committed over $5 million in allegedly stolen FEMA funds, which she in part used in part to buy a $109,000, 3.14-carat yellow diamond ring.
The federal indictment specifically alleges she used part of the funds to buy a 3.14-carat yellow diamond ring for $109,000 (via a cashier’s check in September 2021). This ring closely matches the prominent yellow diamond visible in her earlier official House portrait (which she later edited in some social media posts to remove or obscure it).
She could face up to 53 years in prison.
ROT IN PRISON! HAHAHAHAHA

If you’re in the central Arkansas area and want to see the absolute best Easter performance ever. Better than anything in Branson,high tech,super stage and sound go to the one at FPC Nlr. They have 9 more show to chose from.
Admit it: Your kid mispronounced a word three years ago and now the whole family says it that way. What's the word in your house? (We still say 'pasketti' and I’m not stopping anytime soon.)
I just heard that they will be using computers or ai for the challenges of balls and strikes. And that the zone will be based on your size. Players already lost 2-3 inches off last year’s listed size. I remember midget that played for the traveler at the old ray winder field😁
Utah St. pushed Arizona. Missed so many good looks on three pointers late. Biggest concern for the Hogs is making sure Zona's big men don't wreck game. Krivas is 7-2 260 and very active. Awaka is another big body 6-8 250. Can't discount the Acuff factor !!!
@shuschj67345@TopTierState@MasonNewberry ranking of all time NCAA tourny 6 points for every title. 5 points for every final four. 4 points for elite 8. 3 points for sweet 16. 2 points for round of 32. 1 point for an appearance. The tournament is the measuring stick for how well your season was bc nothing else matters.

grok was supposed to give
6 pts for a championship
5 pts for final 4
4 for 8
3 for 16
2 for 32
And 1 for ncaa tournament appearances. It’s close but not accurate.
Unpopular pastoral opinion #5
Most of the music in the church today only serves emotionalism or a dopamine hit, and does nothing to feed your soul
Get rid of the rock bands
Get rid of the performances
Get rid of singing at people
Sing the songs of faith together as saints
The first female home plate umpire in MLB history, Jen Pawol, made the worst call you’ll ever seen in a game…
After it was challenged by the catcher, the ABS system showed just how awful it was 😬
