@davebarnesmusic @NashSevereWx When I had a tree fall on power lines a couple years ago, I was told to call 911, in case the line was active. They sent the fire department before NES came out.

@NashSevereWx Will do!

Ned gives, Ned takes. He's the reason for freezing rain vs. snow. He's also the reason we might get a break from freezing rain. It's 10 whole degrees warmer (ºC) at about 5500 ft. Warmer water is falling on the surface. This helps. Going outside, especially under a tree or phone pole is not going to be safe for a while. Precip continues. 730am.

“We’re choosing joy in the midst of circumstances we wish weren’t ours. We’re lighting the path for those walking behind us with twinkle lights. We’re pointing out the beauty and celebrating the goodness of God.” ✨ edhyndman.substack.com/p/the-beauty-o…

“The traditions associated with Advent are both ancient and fluid, but the point is to celebrate the Messiah, to reflect on the Word made flesh, and to point us all to the hope we have only through Christ.” — @edhyndman lfwy.co/vKmq50XASEA

You know what makes Christmas lights extra magical? Astigmatism. 💫

Time for the annual reminder that @lemcmillan and I put together a playlist for this time of year: open.spotify.com/playlist/51tiE…

So, like, what WAS on everyone’s 2025 bingo cards?

@grass_stains Kat “Grass Stains” H

I’m over on The New Thing as @grass-stains. I’m also on insta at grass_stains_the_blog. Apparently some form of grass stains will be on my tombstone, because even on The New Thing I didn’t try to get Katherine.

That goalpost is going to be in the background of so many bachelorette party pictures.

@biblewilliams Haha if I can get them to use any apps. 😆

@edhyndman Eesh. Maybe use an app like Splitwise?

Going on a girls’ trip this weekend with women (all millennials) who don’t use Venmo. It was suggested we all bring a checkbook instead.

@carcrzygirl Hahaha I could use it, but I really don’t feel like this is a group that’s gonna download a new app.

@edhyndman Have you tried Splitwise? You can at least easily keep track of weekend expenses. It’s an app, but nobody has to hook up a bank account. You can still settle up via check.

The tool knows it’s not “correct,” but you know it’s moving and that’s more important. Tools can check for grammar and spelling but not heart and beauty. Use them but don’t let them dictate how you write.

A good reminder for limitations of online grammar and writing tools: put in a beautiful piece of writing from an accomplished writer and watch how much the tool wants to change it.

My mom: “Your dad’s phone is messed up. Y’all are going to have to fix it. Here’s what happened: We were trying to figure out how to work the air fryer on our new oven. And somehow our oven has the Internet now and his phone doesn’t.”

Things that are embarrassing as an adult for no reason: - when your shoelaces come untied in public - telling other adults that it’s your birthday

Happy 4 year anniversary to that project I was definitely going to take care of during quarantine.

Not now Oscars, we’re all Scooby Doo-ing this Royal Family photoshop.

Just discovered this. Feels important to share. Covers of CCM classics (some duets!), the best Veggie Tales songs, and “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” of course. open.spotify.com/album/57B2Gcwh…

@grass_stains It has been quite the journey, let me tell you. Jamie literally said to me, “[your] stubbornness pays off.” I’ll let you know if I figure it out.

@edhyndman I want to do that too, but I can’t figure out how. 🤣

Working on moving from one blogging platform to another in hopes of writing more in the new year, so I’m going through my archives. 😬 I’ve learned a lot during this journey. For example, I’d forgotten that I was once considered (by my coworkers at least) to be a sports writer.
