@veatchme We got 5” in 2 days!

Gird your loins. Batten the hatches. Hide the women and children. Weatherman says it might rain.

1978, 22-year-old science teacher Pat Moriarty told his earth science class in Webster, New York, about the total solar eclipse coming on April 8, 2024—46 years later. He promised to host a watch party in his yard if they returned, passed out worksheets with the date circled, and repeated the invitation to classes for years. His students laughed, thinking it was a wild idea.When the day arrived, he hoped a few might show up. Instead, more than 100 former students travelled from across the country, bringing lawn chairs, snacks, champagne, and old yearbooks. They gathered in his front yard to share the three minutes of totality together. The teacher was deeply moved by their loyalty and the lasting impact of that simple promise.

@karol My neighbor's adult kids hid 200 of those in their house at Christmas. They still need to find 30 of them! ;)

We have a running joke that my 13yo is going to buy me a new dryer because of all the stuff he leaves in his pockets but this is a new one.

@Marfa_Scharffa Yep! So happy she lives closer to me!\ than she did before moving to St Paul's.

@katrinas57 Dcs. Gaffney?

During our time outside before lunch, David got to see and play with all of the teachers. This is such a wonderful place. ❤️

I’m not an expert on bad first dates, but this might be the funniest 😂 Jay Leno went into the audience to find the most embarrassing first date that a woman ever had. The winner described her worst first date experience. There was absolutely no question as to why her tale took the prize! She said it was midwinter, snowing and quite cold... and the guy had taken her skiing in the mountains outside Salt Lake City, Utah. It was a day trip (no overnight). They were strangers, after all, and had never met before. The outing was fun but relatively uneventful until they were headed home late that afternoon. They were driving back down the mountain when she gradually began to realize that she should not have had that extra latte !! They were about an hour away from anywhere with a restroom and in the middle of nowhere! Her companion suggested she try to hold it, which she did for a while. Unfortunately, because of the heavy snow and slow going, there came a point where she told him that he had better stop and let her go beside the road, or it would be the front seat of his car. They stopped and she quickly crawled out beside the car, yanked her pants down and started. In the deep snow she didn't have good footing, so she let her butt rest against the rear fender to steady herself. Her companion stood on the side of the car watching for traffic and indeed was a real gentleman and refrained from peeking. All she could think about was the relief she felt despite the rather embarrassing nature of the situation. Upon finishing, however, she soon became aware of another sensation. As she bent to pull up her pants, the young lady discovered her buttocks were firmly glued against the car's fender. Thoughts of tongues frozen to poles immediately came to mind as she attempted to disengage her flesh from the icy metal. It was quickly apparent that she had a brand new problem, due to the extreme cold. Horrified by her plight and yet aware of the humor of the moment, she answered her date's concerns about' what is taking so long' with a reply that indeed, she was 'freezing her butt off' and in need of some assistance! He came around the car as she tried to cover herself with her sweater and then, as she looked imploringly into his eyes, he burst out laughing. She too got the giggles and when they finally managed to compose themselves, they assessed her dilemma. Obviously, as hysterical as the situation was, they also were faced with a real problem. Both agreed it would take something hot to free her chilly cheeks from the grip of the icy metal! Thinking about what had gotten her into the predicament in the first place, both quickly realized that there was only one way to get her free. So, as she looked the other way, her first-time date proceeded to unzip his pants and pee her butt off the fender. As the audience screamed in laughter, she took the Tonight Show prize hands down. Or perhaps that should be 'pants down'. And you thought your first date was embarrassing. Jay Leno's comment..... 'This gives a whole new meaning to being pissed off.' Oh, and how did the first date turn out? He became her husband and was sitting next to her on the Leno show. 😂

@collegetownaux You are already a dad!

In other life news, I know I’m not on here often, but I’m slated to be a daddio this year 🥹. Almost a few months in so early on, but good thoughts and prayers for us pls 💙

@veatchme May our heavenly Father comfort you.

@GamewithDave Tetris

For anyone who used a computer between 1990 & 2005… what’s the one game you still think about?

@Simon_Ingari We had an employee work for 4 days. She had an HR degree. Quit via text after dropping off company laptop. Would love to have know if it was us, the job, or what. Communication face-to-face would have been appreciated. We'd love to do better.

A Gen Z joined the team. Week one. During onboarding, the manager said, “Lunch break is 1 to 2.” Gen Z nodded. At 1:00 PM, He stood up and said, “Going for lunch.” Everyone nodded. 2:00 PM passed. Then 3:00 PM. ↓↓

@michaelj7195 Slacker. I've done 2 already!

First mow of the year. Only front yard needed it

NEW: Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman reflects on being MOVED to tears by the Christian cross after returning to Earth from the historic expedition: "When I got back on the on the ship — I'm not really a religious person — but there was just no other avenue for me to explain anything or to experience anything." "So I asked for the chaplain on the Navy ship to just come visit us for a minute, and when that man walked in, I'd never met him before in my life. But I saw the cross on his collar, and I just broke down in tears." "It's very hard to fully grasp what we just went through."

@OzLutheranChick Thanks for the update. I've been wondering. I hope you get answers.

Tomorrow is a big day. I meet with the specialist to discuss my spine and get another MRI done. We will meet with her again to discuss the results. At least there’s no wait in Vietnam. I’ll keep you all posted. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🩷🩷🩷

@HansFiene I only do a pull through, otherwise, I park normally. I hate thinking I might not see someone else backing out at the same time. But, I'm terrible at backing in, so only pull throughs for me.

It’s much easier to back out of a spot than into one. I don’t understand you people.

@veatchme Sounds perfect!

Over creamed my coffee☹️

@SoMuchBloodJoe Praying...

So I guess my blood count is down. Not So Much Blood

@charliekmox KMOX is not the same without you, Charlie!

Looking forward to joining the show at 11! cb

@veatchme I keep ours as that is where all the political calls go. I check for voice mail 1x a month.

I pay $20 a month for a landline just so I can call my cell to hear it ring when I can't find it

I truly hate passwords. I know the need for them. But the requirement to change them while you have a customer on the phone or "you haven't logged in in __ days, relog in now" when all I want to do is get my work done!!!

@mom_upstate And even nearly 40 years later, you still wonder who that person would have been once he/she was born.

People say “oh at least it was early” “you were only a few weeks” but what they don’t get is it’s so much more than that: -it’s telling your family -it’s picking a name -it’s the first outfit you bought -it’s the excited texts from your partner It’s all the dreams just gone❤️‍🩹
