There are really no parenting choices that won't lead to criticism. Today I have people in my mentions nagging me because I (check notes) order my 10yo sons clothing for him 😭
Sounds of laughter, shades of life Are ringing through my open ears, Inciting and inviting me Limitless undying love Which shines around me like a million suns It calls me on and on Across the universe

Rule of thumb: No matter what you do. What you like to eat. What music you like. What movies, books, art you enjoy. How you like your steak cooked or even if you eat steak. What clothes you wear and how you clothe your 10 yo son. There will ALWAYS be someone telling you you're doing it wrong. 👍

I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries. These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!

MAJOR fan of Mike Nesmith When I was a kid, would see my sisters Monkees albums, and I looked at the label and...hey, look. Mike wrote this song. And he wrote this other one too. Neat. Then when Elephant Parts came out, I was blown away.

Sure. Easy peasey. The Dems are too busy tearing into each other. They cry out "why can't any Dem stand up and grow a spine and fight". Then when one does, they're like "NO NOT YOU. SOMEONE ELSE". Then a week later: "why can't any Dem stand up to this administration and fight!"

The beginning of Goldfinger encapsulates the 60s pretty well. Bond is with a gorgeous woman at a pool when a friend of his shows up. Then he tells the woman "say goodbye". She's confused and goes "What?". Then Bond turns her around and goes "Man talk" and then swats her on her butt.

When I first heard of Culver's, the sign on it said "Frozen Custard Butter Burgers". I though, how interesting. They coat these burgers in frozen custard and then fry them? I wouldn't mind trying that! Upon going there, major disappointment. 😡 But it was still good.

I said it as a joke elsewhere, but I wouldn't put it past RFK Jr. to lift bans on smoking everywhere and remove the warnings on cigarette packaging. Trump will tout it as bring "big tobacco" back to the states and say something about how it wasn't that bad after all. Seriously, I can see this.

I lived in San Bernadino in the early 1980s and the sheriff chopper was always a permanent fixture in the night skies. No idea if it did anything or not, but it was always there. On smog free nights, when up the mountains a bit and looking down on the valley, it almost looked like Blade Runner.

In what world does ANYTHING he's ever done warrant that? Sure, you could make the case that President Obama didn't do anything and yet he got one. But Trump is the absolute antithesis of someone that deserves a Nobel. Boggles my mind.

I was born and raised in the Bible Belt. Surrounded by baptist and pentecostal churches. You'd be amazed how right you are. I don't think I even talked to ANYONE (other than clergy) that had actually read the Bible. Just select passages of it, which were pointed out to them to focus on.

During his run for president in 2016, the press and most democrats were more like "get a load of this guy" and I guess they figured if they showed what a buffoon he is, people would just see it and not vote. They forgot that a lot of people are just plain dumb.
