My jackass neighbor has tried to argue that my coop is on his property. I explained more than once he was wrong. He just dropped, I'm guessing at least a grand, to have the property line brushed and staked, only to discover the coop is 8 feet away from his side of the line.🤣
@DrZedZha
When my friend and roommate told me was HIV+ (back when we didn't really understand a lot) I wasn't gutted by that statement so much as by the one he uttered next: "I'll move out."
My response was, "Why? You tired of me already?"
We stayed roommates until he died.
One more reason I love my hubby:
He went to get a few groceries. He bought 2 milk, 2 cartons of eggs, 2 loaves of bread, 2 packages of pork cutlets, 2 pork tenderloins, & 2 three lb packages of ground beef. Why 2 of everything? His friend that was broke & hungry won't be tonight.
@a_stone62
I love when that bitch Karma shows up.
This guy has been something. I've lost count on how many times people have called the Troopers on him. One stunt was to try and block access to a public road. LOL
@JoshLekach
This guy has made more of a positive impact in his life thus far than you can ever dream of. And your use of the "r-word" demonstrates your language skills are really stunted. That must be hard for you.
@cheerwhine1
Some people just live to be assholes. I'm convinced of it. This guy has a philosophy of "What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine." It's not working out for him.
4-yr-old boy at the market today looked and me and asked, "Why do your eyes look like that?" His poor mom was mortified. I told her it was ok. His question was innocent and it was a chance for him to learn about disabilities....
But I didn't have enough coffee to choose words he'd understand. LOL. So his mom and I worked out that I had a boo-boo like his nana, who also has an eye issue.
It's ok for kids to ask. They don't do it out of malice and it's a great teaching moment.
@xolumines
And these people forget how vulnerable the villages along the Iditarod route are. That healthcare in these locations are usually limited to a nurse practitioner (who are amazing) who has very few medical resources and relies on life flights to Anchorage, Nome. Fairbanks...
@GraellsiaMoon
School can be so hard for many kids. When I graduated high school, the mom of one of my friends gave me a locket with my friend's photo and mine, and a note that read, "Your friendship saved her life." It's a treasured possession.
@ElaineReplogle
Perfection! LOL
I am simply shocked about how this guy, a supposed adult, behaves. Instead of choosing to have face-to-face, adult conversations where we discuss and work things out, he will only text and text and text. Walls of texts and threats.
TW: Stalking and domestic violence
I had to get a protective order today (not against my husband. He's good.) I've had to do it once before and let me tell you it doesn't get easier. It's scary....
Whew. Was doing some sewing and the Lab came in and kept nudging my leg. Insistently. A few moments later my hands started to shake and I was sweaty. My glucose monitor alarmed. My blood sugar was 49. The Lab just knows. Good dog. Now we have both had a snack.
My best friend died last summer.
My father died a few weeks later.
My mother died this morning. I'm going to need a moment. Behave yourselves, or not, until I return.
The use of the r-word or defending the asshats who use the r-word gets you an immediate block.
It's an offensive word that wounds people with developmental disabilities and those who love them.
Frank Stronach was one of my first lessons in how billionaires get away with everything. I worked for him in the late 80s and it was well known that he was a predator. He was also untouchable because of his powerful friends, including law enforcement.
@daydream113017
This longing for the good old days is....something. Those were the days of segregation, lots of day drinking and abuse of other substances, docs writing prescriptions for tranquilizers, etc.
@profsamperry
This Muslim man takes on terminally ill children. His wife has passed but he still continues loving these kids until they take their last breath.
Saw a book about women in the Bible at the used book store today. Written by John MacArthur. I bought it and then threw it in a dumpster along with my other trash. You're welcome.
The Last Supper was painted by a gay artist from his imagination. He wasn't actually there.
That horse these uneducated Christians have their panties in a twist over? It represents Joan of Arc.
For the love of whatever god you worship, open a history book. Please.

Right? When I was 19 I was jumped by 4 guys on a crowded bus platform. Three were black. I fought like a pissed-off alley cat and used all the swear words I knew and yet didn't once use a racial slur.

You know who polices language? Fascists. Governor Gunnysack is a fascist.
Weird how you and her yammer endlessly about freedom and then do your damndest to limit the freedoms of everyone who doesn't believe exactly as you do.
I got called a sheep today by some random stranger at the grocery store. Minding my own business, deciding between 2 brands of sweet chili sauce, and older, white dude walks right up to me and calls me a sheep.
My response? "Better a sheep than an asshole."
This is Spud, aka Spud the Dud. He was a failed sled dog. He ran and hid when he saw someone he didn't know. He ate 2 couches and tore open a dozen pillows. Know what we didn't do? We didn't shoot him.
I told her that she had monumental courage and that what she was doing was the right thing. Her boyfriend held her other hand and agreed with me.
We held hands for a few minutes. That connection was so poignant. Two complete strangers a lifeline for each other....
"I want the harassment to stop but I don't want to set off the stalker/abuser" is what runs through your mind. It takes a lot of courage to file for one knowing that you will still have to face the person in court....
@SlowToWrite
You do understand that modern African homophobia is a direct result of European colonization, right? Homophobia is not part of your African culture. I mean, you might want to open a history book.
Apparently Easter is cancelled because of Trans Visibility Day. The god of these Christians who believe this appears to be weak af. I mean, he loses his superpower because of a day of awareness?
As I was filling out the paperwork, a woman came in with her boyfriend. She had filled out her paperwork and was sworn in. She was asked to wait for the judge and as she turned from the counter, she began to cry.
I just reached out and she grabbed my hand in a death grip....
@Franklin_Graham
No, she wasn't just innocently standing there. There is an order of protection around that clinic and she violated it. In fact, she's a repeat offender. It's about damn time she was arrested. Protection orders are serious business. She should probably try to do something useful.
Here in town, a 15-yr-old picked up a gun that was in his home and shot and killed 3 of his 6 siblings (aged 5, 8, and 17) and then killed himself. The other 3 siblings, all under 7, were physically unharmed. The parents weren't home. Have we had enough gun violence yet?
Christians had a meltdown over the perceived mockery of The Last Supper and yet I've not heard a single peep from them about a convicted child rapist being allowed to compete.
PSA: A growing contingent of the Flynn/Putin mind control cult is convinced that tomorrow the Emergency Alert System is going to use 5G signals to activate nanobots in vaccinated people that will release the deadly Marburg virus into our bloodstream and turn us into zombies.

@Andy35o
Right? How about you look around the house you live in? Look at the kids you helped to create and see to their needs? Why does she have to make a chore chart like you are one of the kids?
Donald Trump high tops. The pre-order is sold out. Which is hilarious or sad that there are so many stupid people. But, here's the thing. There is no delivery date behind TBD sometime in July. Who wants to bet these shoes will never be delivered to the dumbasses who bought them.
@juliastmi
I worked at a camp for 2 years that hosted children with life threatening illnesses. You want deep, silly, sad, discussions about life? Sit with a kid in the camp kitchen, at 3 a.m., eating peanut butter sandwiches (chemo screwed up appetites - we fed them when they were hungry).
Have to take this beautiful boy for his last car ride tomorrow. The cancer has metastasized, and he gave me "the look" this morning to let me know he's tired and ready to go. I will never regret loving a dog, but this part just sucks.
I walked away with some knowledge that has likely been passed down from generation to generation in her family. Knowledge that she willingly shared with a stranger in the produce section of a grocery store. What a gift!
Immigrants enrich our lives in big and small ways.
@Badboybaker50
"Sorry, I know you have a wound that needs a bandage but we can't possibly use these dark ones! Here's a dirty sock and some duct tape."
Noem took this ill-behaved 14 month old pup on a bird hunt and when, predictably, the dog created chaos, she shot it. The dog had no basic obedience and a high prey drive and she expected the other dogs to teach it. That's not how working with bird dogs work.
Fought insurance today over diabetic supplies. I won. But why the fuck does anyone need to fight for things that prevent them from dying? American healthcare is a global disgrace.

@mywonderfulroom
This is like my sister & I. Mom was Native & dad was mostly Irish, with a bit of English. I am fair skinned & have reddish hair - was flaming red when I was a kid. My sister has dark hair, eyes, and skin. In the summer she'd be dark nut brown and I looked like a freaking lobster.
@pegharpham1
You should delete this. No context was given on the situation or the form of discipline given. You’re unjustly standing him. Until more info comes out clarifying this post, you should drop it and move on.
If you knew him you’d know he’d never abuse his kid.
One of my sunflowers finally decided to greet the sun. Autumn Beauty is the variety. Sunflowers were my dad's favorite and this is the first summer that I won't be sending him the photos. I miss him but these flowers make me happy.
Saw three "fuck Joe Biden" shirts at the farmer's market today. I don't think I need to describe the men wearing them. You know who outnumbered them? A few gay couples holding hands. Black, brown, and Asian people. Older women rockin' colorful hair. Lots of amazing tattoos.
Remember our friend? The guy who said that a woman who is raped is sinning? That it would be better for her (he mentioned his wife) to die than to submit to her attacker? The guy whose mission review stated he wasn't ready to church plant but he did it anyway & failed? He's gone.
@AboutLungCancer
He looked carefully and pointed out how they did sort of look like his nana's. He asked if they hurt and I said that yes, sometimes they did, but today they were ok. He sweetly patted my cheek and told me he was glad they weren't sore today.🤣❤️
@ZachWLambert
I stumbled onto a reddit group called Qanon casualties. It's heartbreaking to read how Q and Trump have destroyed families and friendships.
@brettachapman
The loss of life is tragic. What I struggle with is injustice. There were 2,500 Haitians murdered in the first quarter of 2024 and it hasn't really made the news. Two young, white Americans are killed and suddenly everyone wants to pray. Haiti's situation is tied to colonialism.
@TGC
Studies have shown that hitting children increases cortisol levels which in turn is very bad for organs and damages developing brains.
Spanking also sets up children for inappropriate touching and abuse.
If you need to hit a child, you're a loser who has lost the plot.
My husband asked for a few moments alone with Woolly before I take this sweet dog on his last car ride. I can hear him whisper his love to Woolly & I can hear his quiet sobs. This is masculinity. Loving so deeply & with abandon knowing that one day your heart will be shattered.

@Franklin_Graham
Franklin Graham told a woman who was horrifically abused by her husband to go back to that husband because if she didn't their ministry would be harmed and the money would dry up. He needs to sit down and shut up.
