@nbaschez Tom Selleck, not Burt Reynolds. They are sides of the same coin though. 😁

I am desperately trying to find that meme video of Burt Reynolds (?) looking at the camera with a smug grin like "i was right" Does anyone have that? Thank you 😅

Had a need in the community arise, put up the cross signal. Within four hours, had 8 families drop off a bunch of stuff to meet the need. Iran, Israel, immigration, gas prices, economy, AI, etc… important but nothing you can do about em. Dont forget about things you can do.

Still working out kinks, but I've been vibecoding™ a little webapp for managing our flock. Couldn't be happier with it. Anyway, I think you should be using these tools for making life better... while you still can.

At the Holy Hour tonight, Mr. Melvin - two weeks shy of his 97th birthday - brought me a copy of the homily for his twin brother's funeral from a few months ago. Sounds like Br. Conrad was a good one. Melvin is, too.

Good. But in the future the list will sound more like: Can Milk Tend Unroll Pickle Mulch No-till Rotate Forage Solarize Ferment Preserve Compost Regenerate Pray the Angelus

@wilson_dunham_f Let’s goooo

This post went nuts 🤣 it's like somebody unkinked a garden hose. Glad we are all finding each other. Better late than never. Nice to meet you all - I have ALOT of following back to do!

@StarDustPatriot lol. Inevitable!

@Osborne Nah, the next one will just make the same mistakes on their own 😂

College / career planning with your oldest child is not for the faint of heart. Serious life choices around every turn: big money decisions, career paths, leaving home + family + friends. Whew. It gets better with the next kid... right?

@bowtiedfarmer @TURBOPOSSUM Hang in there. Seems like everyone’s chasing MRR - hope it works out!

@Osborne @TURBOPOSSUM It’s a she, it’s a service, and yes it’s otherwise easy money. But my patience is running thin

Rich customer routinely and extremely late on paying invoices/asking for the invoice to be resent. Kinda over it, not worth it tbh. Wyd in this situation.

@ravenousreader Ended up there after searching “what’s like Gatlinburg but not a tourist trap?” And it said the middle of AR. Lo and behold it was right. (Also nearly made it to Ava for Mass but timing was off!)

@Osborne LOVE!!!

The ozarks are beautiful. Take the back roads with the windows down.

@metastition Ha. At this point - oldest is 18 - my body has just accepted tired as the baseline. I’m anticipating crazy energy in my 60s when they’re all out of the house.

@Osborne i'm tired as fuck, but yah, it's good

Your regular reminder that having babies in your 40s should not be considered weird, it should be considered awesome.

@AppyOrtho I’m sure I’ve said this before, but I deeply appreciate your respect for Catholicism. I know the differences between it and Orthodoxy, but in the grand scheme they are small and human. So much to behold within both. Someday…

Summer Glau, River Tam from Firefly and Serenity, is of Scots-Irish and German ancestry, born in good ole San Antonio, Texas. She is also a ballet dancer. She was raised Baptist but attends a Catholic church as an adult. She said Catholicism has given her "great strength.”

@stonetoss High Solemn Mass

how are you planning on celebrating Easter?

@BasedTorba Yes. People are so desperate for info that their filters are increasingly weak.

Important to exercise extreme discernment and caution right now. We are in the fog of war and they are flooding the zone with all sorts of nonsense to distract and sow chaos.

@TURBOPOSSUM @bowtiedfarmer Bingo. If the guy is otherwise a PITA, cut him loose. But sounds like it could be easy money.

@Osborne @bowtiedfarmer “I paid late because I’m busy and maybe a little entitled and this amount doesn’t merit my attention” is a real type of rich guy. In either case, getting him to give you a cc auth and auto billing him is the solution.

@BorisBartlog @Empty_America Maybe they came free with a house. I can imagine the donkeys loaded down with the building materials lol

@Empty_America 'brays with gentility' is some fine advertising copy You used to be able to order houses from them, too. They'd send a guy out to assemble it for you.

You can get Burros for free right now from the government, the Bureau of Land Management is always trying to give them away. Demand is suprisingly low!

@longstoryfarms Ah, I love this. Sounds like one of those stations that broadcasts a local swap meet on Saturday mornings. "Miss Donna has a couple of old roosters to get rid of. Doesn't want anything for them. Call her at 555-5555"

Yesterday a lady from the local radio station came by to kind of get an idea what we were doing with the store. We were talking demographics for about 10 secs because they are a little station that does 100% local stuff like the local college and HS sports and they read the obituaries at noon every day and they don’t know exactly who listens but I love it so much that we are going to jump in with an ad program: 20 spots a month for a very reasonable rate. Our town has the potential to be like those communities that buy from each other and we all prosper because of it and I want to be a part of that. WKDK!
