@Pixie1z @honeyybomb My old Irish grandmother: "Whistling girls and crowing hens always come to some bad ends"

Dad always said "read them and weep" when we played cards. What funny old saying did your family say?

@cattleguy92 City of 17,000? That's a Mayberry size town. All municipal positions should be part time except police and public works.

Though I do appreciate the local media covering things, it is important to get the FULL story. I seriously don’t understand what people don’t understand about Governing conservativly. If we ever want tax relief we MUST curb spending when possible! Often in IL we are hamstrung by the state so when possible we must act accordingly! TBH, one person that spoke to me today (highly respected) was very wise and explained the timing didn’t look great with this decision, which I can agree with. Much respect to him for wise open dialogue. Many people around this local situation today reacted negatively which disgusts me as a Conservative! It’s no wonder we can’t have nice things if conservatives don’t have the balls to be conservative! I Stand Behind my decision on this today!🇺🇸🇺🇸

Name an old brand of beer that no one drinks anymore ?

@SteveLovesAmmo Ahhhh, this is me in my head doing a brake job on my 04 Forester !!

At that point just strap dynamite to the back of the funnycar and blast it forward.

@pvtjokerus With the state of the world the way it is the first decision would be to leave immediately. "This is not a test" is becoming more and more a reality.

Power outage at Denver airport grounding all flights. Hoooo-boy

@GnosisWolf A simple twist of fate !!!🤔

I’m too tired to figure out what I just witnessed. 🤔🤯👨‍🔬🫠

@NobodymrRobert Definitely not how the Egyptians did it!!!!!!

Is there a better way.

@NobodymrRobert Thank you Archiemedes !!!!

Rise and shine.

This day is coming fast...I can smell it in the air.

This week Trump is going to try to ram through the Senate his bill to take over state elections so he can rig the vote in his favor. As he becomes historically unpopular, he’s getting desperate. We cannot let this bill pass.

If you all just turn out to be masters of the obvious and just reiterate all the problems we are well aware of we will see no future in you. We also have heard every adjective that describes the dems for what they are. As an old mentor of mine said, "there is no room for emotion in business, there is only facts, figures, problems and solutions". We want to hear the solutions with plans. Best wishes to all of you!!

Next Tuesday! Get your tickets and come see us! Finally a debate north of Augusta!

@gofishh77 I believe they would call it "the good stuff". ☹️

Serious question, what type of drug causes this? I can’t even imagine.

@AvaGrace9211 Well, the employment ad for the supervisor job did say "customer service experience and masochistic tendencies". 🙄

This is an example of why I would never fly frontier airlines!! Smh 🤦‍♀️

@FFreeSSpeech Success! You posted it right?

👇👇👇 What is this ???

@ShannonJoyRadio Sometimes you make sense and other times your kinda goofy.

So fake.

New Hampshire House Passes Bill Only U.S., state, and POW/MIA Flags inside/outside schools. NH is officially leading the charge to turning New England back to normal. Politicians in Maine need to unite with them.

@Nuked4Every1 I will tape drywall all day, but painting, eh.

In Case You Wondered How Wall Paint Is Made ? Here it is⏬

@SabuzView The Maury Povitch of commentary? I don't think so.

🚨BREAKING: Tucker Carlson says he “almost wants to run for president just to debate Ted Cruz.” Would you support Tucker running just to make it happen?

@newstart_2024 This used to work with my two young daughters. "Jeez nobody behaved in the grocery store so now we go to the "wood store" (Home Depot) till you behave. "Nooooooooo, not the wood store." "Are we being good daddy huh are we".

Erica Komisar drops parenting gold: Stop leading with “NO”—lead with empathy first. Instead of instant rejection when a kid demands sweets, try this: “I can see you really want that packet of sweets. I can see how hard it is because you really want it… but you know you can’t have it before dinner. That’s the rule.” Then when the meltdown starts: “Oh, I can see it’s really hard for you right now… but you still can’t have the sweets.” Empathy → structure → empathy → structure. She says kids (and adults!) feel heard when feelings are acknowledged before limits are enforced—tantrums de-escalate faster and connection stays strong. Clip from this 48-second masterclass in calm, effective parenting. Tried the “empathize first, then hold the boundary” move? Did it actually work… or did the screaming just get louder?
