  • My wife has an autoimmune syndrome that makes stairs painful in the morning. I wake up, make coffee, bring her coffee and a snack, and about an hour later when I know she’s awake I bring her breakfast in bed. We eat together and talk about what we’ll do for our respective days, and if there’s anything we need to coordinate for the day that’s when we talk about it. By the time she’s done with that she’s mobile enough to do some stretches and loosen up enough to walk.

    As someone else said, coffee for morning breath, eat breakfast, then brush teeth. It’s about being served breakfast as soon as your ready to sit up in bed



  • Would Jesus be political if he came back to Earth/

    Have his second home in Palm Springs and try to hide his worth/

    Take money from those poor folks, if he came back again/

    And admit he’s talked to all those preachers, and say they been a-talkin to him?

    Would he wear a pinky ring, would he drive a fancy car/

    Would his wife wear pearls and diamonds, would his dressing room have a star?

    If he came back tomorrow there’s something I’d like to know/

    (Would you tell me) would Jesus wear a Rolex on his television show?

    • Ray Stevens, “Would Jesus Wear A Rolex on His Television Show?”





  • I’ve got a couple.

    One was a dark comedy sketch that a friend showed me in, I want to say '99(?). A couple appear to be in therapy, and the doctor asks how this started. They recount through flashbacks a series of more extreme requests under the guise of “if you loved me, you would do it”. At one point one of them definitely made a piece of toast and put nail clipping on it, then told the other that “if you loved me, you would eat it”. The sketch concludes >! showing that they were actually in a final surgical consult and the last scene is them being wheeled into surgery to be joined at the hip!<

    The other is a comic strip where a couple people are working on their computers when either a song starts playing, or one person starts saying “shoop shoop shoop shoop-a-doop” and stylistically dancing while putting on their jacket. As they dance to the exit the other person says “shoop a doop?” and then the first dances their way off frame







  • Do not hold on to hate. Don’t pay an emotional price on people who don’t care about you

    Do not feel guilt about other people suffering the consequences of their own actions. Don’t pay an emotional price on people who don’t care about you

    Have empathy for the injustices others face. It helps you let go of hate

    You are responsible for how you respond to your environment. They are responsible for themselves. They chose to respond to abuse by abusing others. You can perpetuate that cycle or stop it. Treat them the way you wish to be treated. Do so knowing they owe you a social debt for their abuse, and do not put yourself at risk while treating them with fairness

    Do these things and you will be at peace with yourself and others.
