Sandy was a bit snippy but Jackie knows weather. She fed them and is staying close as the wind and fog roll in. #FOBBV

@Eamon_USA What an absolute horror. Are these doctors getting kickbacks? And what sort of doctor arranges to meet outside of a medical facility if not for suspicious reasons?

unspeakably horrifying

@BornAgainBalaky @Supersonic_Red Dr. Phil used to say, "if your teen says they're out, at night, playing on a swings at a park, they're lying." I was 100% playing on swings with friends in high school at night😆. Totally PG. My mom would leave snacks outside for us. It was great before phones were so common

@MaeOfFable @Supersonic_Red We were often told to go outside and don’t come back in until dinner lol

Dear younger generations, You have to understand that late Generation Jones and early Gen X were basically raised in the great transitional period between “traditional America” and the modern hyperconnected world. Our parents often both worked. Many of us were latchkey kids before that even had a name. We came home to empty houses, made our own snacks, rode our bikes until the streetlights came on, and learned independence very early because there often wasn’t another option. And honestly? We loved a lot of it. We learned risk assessment by doing stupid things and surviving them. We learned conflict resolution without an HR department. We learned mechanical skills because things actually broke and had to be fixed. We learned how to navigate the world without GPS, how to socialize without screens, and how to entertain ourselves without algorithms feeding us dopamine every 14 seconds. Were there downsides? Absolutely. Some kids were neglected. Some carried trauma quietly. Some had far too much responsibility far too young. But there is also a reason many of us became fiercely independent, adaptable adults who can function under pressure without melting down because nobody was hovering over us every second of the day. And yes, the movies exaggerated it for entertainment. We were not all out fighting ghosts and hacking NORAD from our bedrooms. Most of us were just trying not to get caught jumping ramps on BMX bikes while somebody’s mom yelled from a porch three streets away. It was chaos. But it was our chaos. Life was better before helicopter moms and cell phones. Trust me.

@anne_pinkava 😁😆😆That is so great

I mean I call this outfit “my ongoing effort to cosplay every character in ‘From Here to Eternity’”, but that’s cool too.

@FunMovieTVFan My favorite redhead:

@MaeOfFable Life ain’t easy for a boy named Sue

When you’re chopping carrots and suddenly feel like you’re being watched…

@elle_srom 😁 That's great! And how fortunate to not be named Sue.

@MaeOfFable Johnny… Johnny Cat

@elle_srom 😊And what is his name?

@MaeOfFable He’s making sure I don’t forget dinner time😹

@JordanJ1776 Have you already read Lesser Evil? Such a great book!!!!! I cried reading the series and mourned finishing this book.

A recent find!

@BMcGrewvy @dcsandbrook @bookclubpodhq 😆The books aesthetically tilted at angles, possibly putting pressure on the binds...hurts to look at

I always had a soft spot for the TGI Fridays where Charles Dickens worked as a boy

@Eamon_USA @ProducerOllie @JCAndersonNYC 😆😆😆😆 I should have looked at the comments

@MaeOfFable @ProducerOllie @JCAndersonNYC 😂😂 x.com/rockylotito/st…

@MissBrneyes Yep, good and bad! Many have an entire mythologized sense of even US history that over corrected from the lies of Zinn. The 19th Amendment is good. The families had already been broken when teen girls died in sweatshop factories from breathing linen fibers.

@MaeOfFable The lie of feminism. Lol Like it's some written down word with instructions. There are good parts and bad parts. They're mad about the part where they lost their control.

He's a pastor? Truly? For a man who had a sister die when still young, he still has not learned some people will not get the life they tried or hoped for and believers better show wisdom and discretion before accusing them of being a "cautionary tale."

@Eamon_USA @ProducerOllie @JCAndersonNYC 😄😆 It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of Margarita Maynia, it was the age of Loud & Louder Nachos Platter...oh to be little Charles working night shifts serving large dining parties that tipped most poorly.

@ProducerOllie @JCAndersonNYC @MaeOfFable 🤣🤣

❤️‍🔥🥹 And why did the royal robes of Ethiopia include a cross? It is the fruit of Philip the Evangelist's faithfulness in following the urging of the Angel of the Lord, to take "the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza."

@realDianaWest My nana born in 1900 used "limb" until the very end🙂

The Victorians, they say, thought the word "leg" was too raw, chose to say "limb," and arts, music, poetry, literature, culture flourished. What was that about #FrankfurtSchool communists making Western Culture Stink? Going forward, it's clear #TheDeathOfTheGrownUp was a murder.
