Thinking about making commenting "Skill issue" on every post I see of someone complaining about the price of EATING OUT my entire personality.

@Corbienest Yeah, idk about that. I have a pretty solid vocabulary. The IQ part Im not sure about. 😂

I am begging people to stop confusing knowledge with intellect.

@RoyalBlueRapto1 I make the coffee for our church and bring sugar and half-and-half. Someone bought a bunch of these creamers. Highly insulting. 😂

After I spent a few months putting real milk and sugar in my coffee, and then tried to go back to this, I swear I could taste the seed oils and they tasted like petroleum 🤢

Do you have a dish drying fan?

@TiffaniMarie483 I dont think it would be per se. For instance better nutrition can lead to higher IQ. It would come down to the mechanism by which they are altered.

If we’re could genetically alter people to have higher IQs, would it be morally wrong from a Christian stand point?

I feel like this is one of those weird homeschool triva type things. "I was homeschooled; of course I've always known the difference between a cocoon and a chrysalis." "I didnt see Harry Potter as a kid, but I can tell you chrysanthemum is 13 letters long of the top of my head."

@wrowclif I feel like this is one of those weird homeschool triva type things. "I was homeschooled; of course I've always known the difference between a cocoon and a chrysalis."

The first time I heard the word chrysalis was in like 2014 in some novel by a Japanese guy.

@MrsCMFrancis Sure. As long as the one you pick aligns with the most people having noon with the sun as close to its zenith as possible. Since that's what noon is.

Literally just pick one. In 5 years no one will remember or care about the pros or cons of the 2, but everyone will be excited about never having to change their clocks again

I listed a generator on FB marketplace for $1700. A guy messaged me '1500k'. I'm guessing he doesn't understand how numbers work.

@be_homestead We have 5, 2-11yo and we leave it partially open at night so they get to us if they need to. We just close and lock temporarily if we want privacy.

How many parents (from toddler to teenager) leave their bedroom door open at night?

@brittilina As long as the war isn't about the grammar used on Twitter. 🤣

Congratulate me, friends, for I have started a grammar war and will soon be crowned Supreme King of All Twitter.

For those who need a specific scripture I would say this qualifies as an unbeliever who is not content to dwell. (1 Corinthians 7:13)

This morning we attended the memorial day service downtown. It may be one of the purest public ceremonies that we have remaining. A small gathering at the Civil War memorial in the town square. A prayer, the pledge, a short speech, and Taps is played. Each branch of the armed forces is honored with their anthem and a wreath is presented to honor those fallen in each American war. It’s a modest crowd, many of whom I am acquainted with. I know the ones that write seething diatribes online about the current administration. I know the ones that still proudly have bumperstickers from 2016 supporting the administration. Some are rock hard conservatives and some dyed in the wool liberals. Many very old and also families like ours with young children and babies. But we are all there for the same reason. We love America and want to honor those who have given their lives to keep us free. This year the Legion did a flag folding ceremony, which I don't recall happening in the past. Then we all proceed to the cemetery together. Stopping on the bridge over the river to drop a wreath in honor of those lost at sea. At the cemetery there is a final 21 gun salute before headstones of service men and women are decorated. Below is the script that was read over the flag folding ceremony: The first fold of our flag is a symbol of life. The second fold is a symbol of our belief in the eternal life. The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veteran departing our ranks who gave a portion of life for the defense of our country to attain a peace throughout the world. The fourth fold represents our weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in times of war for His divine guidance. The fifth fold is a tribute to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, "Our country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong." The sixth fold is for where our hearts lie. It is with our heart that we pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. The seventh fold is a tribute to our Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that we protect our country and our flag against all her enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of our republic. The eighth fold is a tribute to the one who entered in to the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day, and to honor mother, for whom it flies on Mother's Day. The ninth fold is a tribute to womanhood; for it has been through their faith, love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great have been molded. The tenth fold is a tribute to father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of our country since they were first born. The eleventh fold, in the eyes of a Hebrew citizen, represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon, and glorifies, in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The twelfth fold, in the eyes of a Christian citizen, represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost. When the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost, reminding us of our national motto, "In God we Trust."

I guess he'd be really comfortable with the fact that we have lunch together every week. 😬😂

@delightsintruth Gotcha. 😂

@PhilipATSimpson "Elders" is just a word to describe "man who went to seminary", it has nothing to do with age or experience 🤡

While I do think there is heavy implication that male eldership is normative, I never see anyone pointing out that its at least as heavily implied that elders be-- well, old.

@HeatherMJames3 That's exactly what it is. 😂😂

@PhilipATSimpson It reminds me of that awesome geometric line art we used to make in elementary school. NICE 😊

Before it was finished. I think that looks cool.

@PlamtsAmnimals 🤣

@PhilipATSimpson I think the goat eyeball trellis is whimsical.

Just needs final touches and paint. Is this whimsy or ugly? Im not sure if I like it or not.

@HilaireNereus I saw he gave his congregation the best advice Ive ever seen from him:

It was wise for Joel Webbon to remove his preaching from the internet. The sermons made it clear that his full-time calling was as a "personality" online, and his hobby was cobbling together a sermon with points supplied by Matthew Henry and the tangents & rants supplied by Joel

@danae_hudlow I think there's absolutely a place for both induction and C-section (fortunately we have technology to check and monitor almost everything now) but it seems like a lot of times its just for convience. I really dont care what people do, just observing.

@PhilipATSimpson There are risks, though, to an aging placenta. I've chosen to induce between 39 and 40 in the past because studies have shown labor/delivery come by a little easier in that window.

Interesting seeing so many people talking about inducing at 39 and 40 weeks. My mom had one of my brothers at 45 weeks. We know another lady that has ten children (mostly grown now) and none of them were before 42 weeks. Sometimes babies just need to cook a little longer.
