@_cotton_ball Just had my 5th, all two years apart. I am the chaos, I am the poopoo diapers, I laugh at the single people telling me how tired they are.

I think the key to a fulfilling life is to toddlermaxx. 5 kids in 10 yrs. Continuous chain of overlapping toddlerhood. No sleep. Constant chaos. New baby every 2 yrs. Never ending floor meltdowns, imminent danger & low impulse control keeping you on your toes for a full decade

Someone says: “I dreamed in my life of having a family, and I wanted through that way and that path to be saved. But that goal was not achieved… I got married, and my marriage failed… I got married and had no children… I didn’t get married at all… Or someone deceived me, betrayed me, hurt me, a thousand and one things happened… My plans were cancelled. This is not how I wanted my life to be! What do I do now?” Alright, I use the reason that God has given me and say: “Look, this is my reality. I am here, in this place, with these circumstances, with these facts, with these people, with these possibilities. So, with these, I will make sure to be saved.” Because the will of God is not this or that. His will is my salvation. You might say, “I was dreaming…” Well, I too once dreamed. I dreamed of staying on Mount Athos, having a nice little hut in Nea Skiti, where I was living then, and enjoying the honey of the quietness of the Holy Mountain. And instead, I found myself in Limassol, in the very center of the city! Not even on the outskirts, right in the middle of the city! And in fact, when I first came to Limassol, because the Metropolis building we stayed in then had many difficulties, I lived in a very small room, 1.5 meters wide and 2 meters long. It still exists today. And it was right on the street. So every night we couldn’t sleep, especially on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, when all the clubs around here hold their own “vigils” and “prayers” all night long. Especially on major feast days, we have “all-night vigils” with loud “chanters” and “psalmists” singing all through the night. Which, by about 4:00 in the morning, end in chaos — shouting, swearing, and fighting among young people. We still hear them every night. Now we are used to it, but in the beginning, it was very difficult. What can we say? This is our world. And I see the same thing in my personal life. It was never my life’s dream to come to Limassol and become a Metropolitan. I confess to you, I had never thought about it, not even once. Not even in a dream. I had another vision for my life. But God changed things; that is how life unfolded. Naturally, as human beings, when the visions of our life change, we feel shaken. We say, “Ah, I wish I were there, I wish my life were like that.” But what is the true goal? Is it Mount Athos? Monasticism? Family? Children? Home? Job? Even health? No, these are not the goal. These are means that can lead us toward the goal. The goal, the true desire, is Christ. Christ is what we seek! So leave behind your fantasies and daydreams, and land where you are! You are in this city, with these circumstances, with these strengths you have, at this age you are, with these people around you and with everything that exists in your life now, you must work out your salvation. ✝️ Fr. Athanasios, Metropolitan of Limassol

@foundring1 My favorite autistic rag time pianist does it again

DYK I'm one of the top 10 fastest anagram solvers in the world? I've memorized the dictionary and can recall it faster than almost every champion Scrabble player. It's possible I'm #1 for solving small words (under 6 letters). This plus music qualifies me as an actual polymath 💪

@lporiginalg My wife and I are single handedly repopulating the earth

Christ is King ☦️

@noetic_healing keep it in the family. i wouldn't open it to outsiders if i were in your position

Been talking to my older boys. We want to find a large ranch where we can build separate houses and literally build a mini town. I have five boys and a daughter, three grandchildren. We could pool our resources and pay less than we do now and have community and support from each other. This is a serious question. If there was an Orthodox community in Colorado that was private, in the mountains with opportunities to buy your own parcel, governed by the community would you want to live there? We need to return to community and break free of the beast system. Can you imagine if it worked? Yes there would be issues but you govern it like a small town with a charter/ People who do not abide by the charter have to sell their lot and leave. Make it self sustaining. Doesn’t it make your heart yearn?

@KimDotcom He’s part of the club you dope

What’s really puzzling me is that Elon seems to be backing this nonsense with his Palantir brothers. He is too smart to fall for this shit. What am I missing?

@JamieLHanshaw @badazn Most likely the kitchen if I had to guess

@badazn What place is that?

Shout out to the women who know their place. All the rest are whores.

☦️🇮🇷 Saint Anastasius of Persia, pray for your people, the Iranians, so that they may be delivered from the Talmudic Zionist plague 🙏🏻

@EthanWayne2001 Why are you gay?

So obvious that Peter Heers joined the Church he thought would have the least oversight of his activity. It’s good that he now is accountable, but I suspect disaster is imminent, for either Heers or the Romanian Metropolia.

@pissboymcgee yes

Is Will Campbell the worst LT in the entire league?

@Patriots @will_campbell66 get this guy out of here

First season, first Super Bowl @will_campbell66

@TitleTalkTCL Matthew Slater

Without saying Tom Brady, who is the first player that comes to mind when you see the Patriots logo?

@geoffschwartz "Lost his shoe"

I present to you the worst rushing attempt of the 2025 season

@BarackObama @MichelleObama big mike lookin pretty

Happy birthday to the woman who lights up every room she walks into. I love you, Miche.

@BostonCream gross

Jeremy G. had an unreal rookie cheer season. I hope we get to see him cheer in the Super Bowl.

@DesmondSilvers Go outside

Worlds First 55, Cant prestige / no New Beginnings quest, most likely locked behind story which kinda blows with the amount of time gates it has that are 50 hours+ each
