The love of my life passed in her sleep. 35 years together, 3 kids, 3 grandkids, and I already miss her so much. We buried her on her 55th birthday. Married 5yrs w/1 daughter. Divorced for 2yrs (dated most of that off n on). Remarried and 2 more kids. 35yrs.
Update. Date went well. Really good. She was beautiful. Pinned the table down at Carraba's for 3hrs. $35 tip to the waitress to know not to stop n ask questions. So much in common. It was absolutely fun. I've got a 2nd date. 😊
Ok. My daughters are 0 help. 1st date in 35yrs. Do I bring flowers? What kind? Or just myself and shit eatin grin? I'M NERVOUS AF. 😳 Please help, ladies.

LOL...my wife voted Biden today. She doesn't like either candidate and wasn't going to vote. And then I reminded her I did that in 2016 and look where we are. She replied, "Well, we need to get Trump out or you'll never ever stop yelling at the TV!"
😁😂🤣

@meiselasb
I have some friends, staunch Republicans, like me but they live in Georgia. SEC football! They all gave me crap in 2016 cuz I refused to vote Trump. Georgia goin Blue in 2020 I'm told. Hopefully Texas does too.
@PupRsq
No, my wife passed 1yr ago, April 6th. Her birthday and the day we buried her was April 18th...last Monday. I miss her and my profile pic should reflect that. As does my profile but I also I need to keep goin forward or die in place. I'm tired.

According to latest numbers from Harris County Clerk, more than 511,000 have early voted there already. If Austin and San Antonio putting up like numbers Texas wil possibly go blue. Pedal to the metal....get em out there and VOTE!!! Got my wife to vote Biden!
@Siennafrst
Give that girl food and love. She will fill out. She's a tux kitty. She might just amaze you. Judging by our rescue, Domino, once she's healthy, fed and secure you will wish she was something mellow like a gremlin. Domino a couple of weeks after adoption.

Don't lift your foot off the gas, Harris County! Ya'll gotta make up for the Trumpers in Montgomery county...I'm behind enemy lines...VOTE!!!!
@GallFAM4
I'm always early for anything. It was ingrained. I also know to wait...as long as I'm close, I won't be late. Corner convenience store to gather nerves til time. Geez I'm 16 again.
@toni_iacobbo
Yup. Twas me. I did it numerous times.

He just threw red meat to the masses. I cannot say this enough, if you live in the DC area, do not engage. Stay home n stay low. Do not be a target.
This to my friendly neighborhood trolls: I didn't mean for this hoopla. I had a good date. Met a new friend I have alot in common with. I miss my wife. Think about her every. Damn. Day. She helped make me the person I am. I'll keep steppin & I know that redhead respects that.
@jvharris_1965
Lmfao. I Stuck a plastic tube of catnip in a tin in our headboard so the cats couldn't get to it. My wife was looking for something n found it. Next thing I know I'm being asked about dealing pot. It was a half hour before I could breathe right from laughing.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I gotta share this. My heart is full and I've lost my shit tonight. After my wife passed in April, my son asked if he could have his mom's wedding band and engagement ring. He wants to propose to his long time girlfriend. After the ok from his sisters, the jeweler
@gtconway3d
I keep seeing the question of why are we doing this trial as not even President anymore. I can only point to the Nuremberg trials...the Nazis were no longer in power or office anymore either. It's their crimes while in office we are addressing.
Thanks, ya'll. Based on feedback and what little I know, I'll depend on just me this time around. Not sure how to find out if she's allergic to flowers on a 1st date but if not...small bouquet of Texas wild flowers...suits her well. 👍
Ok. This blew up. I just needed a bit of advice from my friends here because my daughters thought I was weird for asking about flowers 1st date and I'm lost n rusty af on dating. I appreciate all the advice, ya'll. She had to reschedule. Tomorrow. Update, I promise.
@APoppaBear
Oh...good Lord in Heaven. I'm sitting in a redneck bar in SE Texas, 2nd stab n only fkr wearing a mask and I read this. I love an argument so I told a few of my Trumplican friends (quietly) n showed em..."Antifa meeting tonight..what r you wearing?" I'm fixing to leave...lol.
Good morning. Update. Now that its moved to today, I suggested lunch instead and she asked if I would be upset if she meets me there. And ofcourse not. I understand this day n age this much. It's why I didn't ask for her number and instead offered mine first. Be a beautiful day!
Anybody else cook their bacon in the oven? Had this conversation this weekend. I used to be a pan fry purist. My largest pan only took a 1/2lb so I'm standing over the stove for 20+ mins. This is sooo much easier and I can pop it in and move on to something else.
@Resister4u
My tree. No presents under it right now. They are stacked in a safe place. Why you ask? The tuxedo wearing child from hell to the left in the picture.
Do you know why OTC drugs like Sudafed are locked up at some drug stores? Meth labs use the psuedoepidrine to cut their product. On the other hand, someone can buy an AR15 + 1000 rounds, no license or training.
Bright side: atleast that gunman won't be wired out on Sudafed. 🤔

Jesus H. Christ....I thought divorce lawyers could milk the system!?!? These ppl are creating a political cottage industry. I'm not a lawyer but I'm not dumb and some of this is confusing the shit out of me.
@michaelscat2
This one does it all the time. At the very least he has to have a paw on my arm. When I go to bed, he sleeps beside my pillow, facing me. If I roll over, he moves to the other side so he is still facing me. This started after my wife passed.

@TeaRoomBetty
My wife loved it. Especially if I used milk instead of water in the Campbell's and my 3 cheese grilled cheese sandwich and Ritz Crackers on the side. Me, personally, wasn't my thing but it'd put a smile on her face.

@ThatEricAlper
Discombobulated is one of my favorite words to throw out there on a Monday morning at work. When ur in an 8am manager's meeting and the Director asks you why the conveyor system is down and you reply, "Welp, it's an antique, jury rigged system that is discombobulated today". 😁
@KavalAuthorActs
Buy new. That 10yr old part you're about to replace? It has alot of 10yr old buddies in there too just waiting to file unemployment. Buy new but research first.
The more I think on this, today was goin to be no flowers on 1st date. The date had to be rescheduled due to plumbing probs in her townhouse. Fate? What's better good JuJu than a visitor bearing gifts? Chk into a small bouquet of wildflowers in the morning. Gut feeling.
Holy crap! I have a date tomorrow. My no mouth filter self popped off on Valentines day, kidding, to a very pretty lady...and now I have a date. 35 years of rust and I feel 16 again (which means now im so confused i dont know whether to scratch my watch or wind my ass. Nervous 😒
@Elaine66863023
No. I met her at the restaurant. No flowers. It came up in our conversations and...I shoulda brought the small wild flower bouquet like I thought...2nd thought...yeah. 🤔🙄
6/put up with all my bullshit and still tried to help." I can't tell you how much my heart is bursting right now. That boy became a man and I couldn't be prouder of him.
This ended up longer than I planned but I had to share it. I'm out, ya'll. Goodnight and much love. ❤️
@hmes1973
Lol. You n me both but baby steps. Everyone has lost their mind on this. I made a new friend I have alot in common with. And yes, I'm walkin on air over it.
@7292faeec9d146e
I'm sorry for your loss. People will tell you it will get easier over time. It doesn't, really. Ya just learn to accept it. Remember and appreciate the time you had. But, unless you are goin to lay down and call it a day, ya gotta keep steppin. And thank you. Flowers next time.
@RepChipRoy
In celebration of this come to Jesus moment and one of our elected officials in Texas actually read the Constitution, I'm gonna pour a fresh bourbon, light a cigar and watch the sunset on my deck...there's fkn hope for Texas. 👍
Welp, she was supposed to text me with her address and a time when she got home from the gym. Just when I thought I'd been stood up on my 1st date in decades, she calls and apologizes. She got home and found water backing up in her townhouse. We rescheduled for tomorrow evening.

I enjoy living alone. I hate being alone. Probably doesn't make sense. I miss sharing each days highs n lows. Meals. A shoulder I can offer or a sounding board I can trust.

There have been 18 previous weddings held at the White House since the 1800s. Last one was in 2013. I see no problem or "bad optics" here.
Now, self promoting, personal fundraising at the White House is not only bad optics, it's illegal. This didn't stop TFG doin it many times.
@davidfrum
@HesalroadDawn
Agreed. So far it has cost us a trickle of our military budget, less than 7% it is reported. No American boots on the ground. Russia AND Putin is shown they are the paper Tigers we've feared for so long. This investment is priceless. Just my $0.02.
@ProjectLincoln
So. Play by their rules if ya can't change em. Fk em. They tried it in every red state in 2018 and the lost the house. They tried it in 2020 and the lost the Senate AND the Presidency...so, fk em. We do it again...rinse and repeat.
@axios
Problem here is she said on TV, radio and in person interviews and you can take what she said as opinion w/a grain of salt.
The countless law suits she filed are another matter. Those meant her opinion mattered and is based on legal opinion which she telecast. Consequences.
Ok. I'm out, ya'll. Full day tomorrow.
0330 wake up (as usual)
PT & the 3 Ss & breakfast by 0600.
Detail appt for the car at 0700.
Haircut by my favorite Vietnamese lady hair chopper. Note to self: don't let her touch the beard...she hates beards.
(Self: 👍)
Sleep well, ya'll
@gtconway3d
TBH, the Texas GOP is a clear picture of what is wrong with the GOP as a whole...this from an RVAT. The GOP needs to be turned upside down, shaken out, and the ones with the most morals AND back bone put back in the dish...guaranteed dish be pretty empty.
I've been sittin here for hours listenin to music we loved, danced to. Music I'd play to make her smile. Reminiscing. The anniversary is gettin close. They say the pain fades with time. I call bullshit. I think we just learn to embrace it.
Never fail to tell them you love them.
@Tochinoshin33
I take it you made it yourself? I definitely like it. Check out my new TV stand in the race room. Finally found a use for my original Challenger rims. Lol. I had some help on this though.
@ShaneGoldmacher
I'm not in NY. I'm in TX. So, here's my $0.02: Since when do accusations make you guilty? If he is guilty, prove it and remove him or force him to resign. Oh. And I'll trade you one Cuomo and give you an Abbott, Cruz and Crenshaw...if you say please I'll throw in a Cornyn.

Won't do a damn bit of good for people at that rally. I know people that spent THOUSANDS of dollars buying up food, cleaning goods, toilet paper back in MARCH. Call Covid BS now and STILL think Donnie is God. Ya can't fix stupid. The Koolaid is strong.
@maggieNYT
The Republicans that didn't object should be pissed at the ones that did object to the count. For hurting fund raising across the board.
Maybe, more importantly, all of them, including the ones that objected should be really pissed at

@th3j35t3r
No, the funniest thing of these keyboard warriors is they will refuse to wear a mask at Walgreens but if they actually have the nards to show up in person at one of these "gatherings" they are covered in neck gaiters to hide their identity from the popo for hours.
@DelfinaDino
Depends are your definition of happily married. Every married couple has their ups n downs. It's not all unicorns and rainbows sprouting out of us. We had some seriously bad arguments over 35yrs. We hurt eachother and bitched about eachother. We always made up. The fun part. ❤
@AdamKinzinger
The theme. I thought it was only the past 5 yrs but I was wrong. Realized it after the ACA fiasco. Republicans warned my Cadillac plan would go thru the roof. Never did until Trump gained office. Then w/ repeals it went from $214/chk to $398/chk. Laid off in April. ACA saved us.
My mom taught me to always say I love you when parting...spouse, parents, kids, siblings or close friends...because you may not see them again a single breath later. Is this weird? I do it without thinking now.
@littlewhitty
Not a Democrat. A reformed Republican that's a Independent. Stood in line over 3hrs the 1st day of early voting, 10/13/2020 inTexas, to vote a blue ballot top to bottom though. I will be happily independent in my thoughts.
Curious. How much revenue does Disney World bring to Florida? How would that impact Florida if they announced closure in 2wks until DesIdiot reverses course?
@Wendilynn66
Texas is beautiful. We have every type of landscape packed into one state. My wife and I would not have been where we were financially if it wasn't for moving here an eon ago. Please don't judge us or our state, as a whole, by our elected officials and their decisions.
Another way to eat the last of the tender brisket from Labor Day. Throw it on a hoagie bun with Swiss cheese & toast. Add a bowl of au jus sauce for dippin and lots of paper towels. 😋
I have a way with strays. I don't know what happened to her mouth. She looks like she was chewing on barb wire but she scarfs like she hasn't eatin in a month of Sundays.
