@TheGreenOldDill 🤣🤣😂😂😂

The Eagles better get him an eye test before they sign his contract.

@_wintergirl93 Even though devasting, that was a lovely story.

Sitting in the recliner in the room at the cancer center right now. First chemo treatment just started. I can't quit thinking about Jake. It's wrecking me, the thought of leaving him. My girl who came years before Jake, Anna, wrecked me when she died. I couldn't look at her picture for 3 years. Jake's perfect little heart would be broken if I went first. Many years after Anna, I was on my way to meet a litter of Basset puppies. Four weeks old. I stepped into the confined area where the litter was. Immediately, this wiggly, goofy little black and white potato teetered over to me. I picked him up and rubbed his tiny, velvety ear. He looked up at me, and gave me his heart. Like he knew I would keep it safe. "That's Stirling", the breeder smiled. Yeah, no. This boy was not a "Stirling". A month later, I was getting ready to go put my name on which puppy would be mine. I remember having a little panic attack. I was feeling disloyal. I was *Anna's* momma, not this new puppy's, whichever one it would be. I was texting with @aurora_g96. "What if I can't love him like I did her??" Dawn said don't be silly, everything will be fine. I got to the breeder's house and walked into the fenced in area where the puppies were. I looked at them and thought "how on earth do I decide who will be mine"? And again, "Will I be able to love him like I did Anna?" My eyes kept drifting to one, his tail wagging constantly, nose to the ground, on the trail of something important. He sniffed his way over to me, stepping on his ears the whole way. He stood in front of me, a chubby little paw on my foot. This wiggly, goofy little potato looked up at me. "Stirling remembers you", l heard. Of course he does, I thought, he gave his heart to me 4 weeks ago. I picked him up, buried my face in his little neck and inhaled that indescribable puppy smell. I whispered to him, "Momma loves you, Jake." He was mine. This boy. He went to give me a kiss on the cheek. He started dragging his tongue up my cheek, but it got stuck halfway, because he was lazy. So I stood there, holding him, and he sat contentedly with his mouth open, resting against my cheek. Fast-forward five and a half years. I had just gotten home from being told the most soul-crushing news l'd ever been told. I might be leaving Jake in as little as 2 to 3 years. He waddled over to me, this wiggly, goofy 75 pound sack of potatoes. I buried my face in his neck, and I gotta tell you, he does not currently have that indescribable puppy smell. The boy needs a bath 😂 I whispered into his neck, "Momma loves you, Jake". This little potato had given me his heart when he was four weeks old. What kind of a toolbag would I be to crush it? So the plan has to be that I won't. “Average life expectancy of 2-3 years". The plan is, that I won't be average.

So grateful I won't have to hear "mock draft" after tonight.

@ThomasSowell The GOP are once again doing absolutely nothing to generate new support, nor retain current support.

Democrats have closed the gap. Should be interesting to see how much this moves before November.

@AlexKintner3 🤣🤣🤣

I'm starting to do my online clothing shopping searches and realize I'm incorporating the word "comfy" more.

@MusicJim2 That is awesome 👌.

@dianesteeler Did all the episodes drop yet?

@PeterSweden7 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

The EU Court of Justice has just ruled that Hungary violated EU law when Viktor Orbans government banned children from accessing LGBTQ+ content.

@lovedropx @stephiegal Love ❤️ this.

@MGDosd @psychfugues @TheRazor51 @AshleyKalus @JessicaforRI @SamuelWBell @MichaelJGarman @DavidMoralesPVD @HeyJohnstonRI @EnriqueForRI Never been over $60/month in Florida.

@aparker70 @psychfugues @TheRazor51 @AshleyKalus @JessicaforRI @SamuelWBell @MichaelJGarman @DavidMoralesPVD @HeyJohnstonRI @EnriqueForRI Mine was $53.01 in South Carolina.

Bravo Tony! RI elected should focus on delivering tangible results. Not passing Potemkin village legislation designed to appease the increasingly vocal far left or ducking hard bipartisan work and blaming the Ouija board spirits of DC instead for what truly ails us.

@RepublicanRjl @TheRhodyReport @BetsyRoss9876 @MGDosd @HeyJohnstonRI @psychfugues @TheRazor51 @JessicaforRI @AshleyKalus @RhodyGunRights We are.

@BetsyRoss9876 @TheRhodyReport @MGDosd @HeyJohnstonRI @psychfugues @TheRazor51 @JessicaforRI @AshleyKalus @RhodyGunRights I heard about this but I think that news coverage was in error because it's not widespread at all. If wife gave me the go ahead, I'd leave RI in a heartbeat.

In Q1 2025, call volume to RI’s crisis hotline exploded by 212% from just a few years prior. Dem logic in the face of this rising mortal threat? Frantically move to ban guns, but casually close the doors to RI’s only crisis provider qualified to help treat the causes of violence.

We need more of this 👇👇👇👇

@For_Film_Fans Omg

There are words, but in this instance I’m gonna leave it with you to try and gather some together to represent your thoughts on the Brady clan performing “Car Wash” whilst dressed as characters from “The Wizard Of Oz”. THE BRADY BUNCH VARIETY HOUR (1977)

@BethanyAllenEbr @redsteeze You sound like Joe Paterno.

@redsteeze I did not play it down. I very much wanted to report it out myself. But MeToo stories on the Hill aren't related to my beat, as much as I personally wish I could report them out. I passed the tip along to colleagues on the Hill beat.

@_wintergirl93 Lizzy, I cannot imagine how you are feeling both physically and mentally. Hoping you don't have to stay long in the hospital and get home to snuggle with Jake.

So. Had my first appt with the oncologist yesterday. Stage 4 metastatic cancer, incurable, average life expectancy 2-3 years. Not the news I wanted. Their hope is to do chemo before any surgery to try and shrink the tumor and best case scenario, manage this as a chronic condition. I’m crushed and sick to my stomach at the thought of leaving Jake. He would be heartbroken without me here.

@TheSusanGEmery Hahahaha!
