“It might not be easy, but it will be worth persevering.”

My personal motto for this week. 😌

🎵 Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive 🎵🙂

What’s up with DoorDash trying to default to a 24% tip to the driver on my order tonight? 😒

Sometimes I’ll think, as another car 🚗 passes me, “What’s your hurry? I’m doing the speed limit.” 😅

Then within a minute I’ll find myself thinking, “Well, I can’t be dawdling like that other car 🚙 I just passed.” 😂

Something similar to “A List Apart,” but different? 😊

Fees are so bad right now. I had a similar experience over the weekend when ordering flowers 💐 to be delivered to my mother-in-law for my late wife’s birthday yesterday. 💛

If I were in banking, I’d look into developing a limited application loan and market it as the:

“Single Parent in THIS Economy?” Loan 💵

(Hey, the “SPITE” loan — I may be on to something here. ™️😅)

#Michigan: How quickly we went from "I need my bedroom ceiling fan on high to be able to sleep" to "I need a second blanket to be able to sleep." 😅

Is there an active #Salesforce community on this site? It seems like any posts or people who reference Salesforce have been inactive for several months (or more). Where do we find good information and connection?

A rainy ☔️ Tuesday seems like a day for listening to Lionel Richie 🎧🎵 (and revisiting this old meme that still makes me laugh 😂)…

Over & over again, Republicans demonstrate that for them, the cruelty is the point of their policies… 😕

I generally like lattes — vanilla or caramel — but sometimes a macchiato. ☕️

“Avoid freeways” = my favorite GPS 🗺️ setting (especially right now in the fall) 🍁 🍂 😎

My stomach 🥴 is casting the deciding ballot this morning, siding with my wallet in a 2-1 vote against my tastebuds concerning the matter of starting my day with an expensive latte. ☕️ 😅

Man, the way this part from Les Misérables has been haunting me lately with its relevance:

🎶 You at the barricade, LISTEN TO THIS:
No one is coming to help you to fight!
You’re ON YOUR OWN,
You have NO FRIENDS,
Give up your guns or DIE! 💀🎵

“I hate my opponent and I don’t want the best for them.” — Donald J. Trump

“I have decided to stick to love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.” — Martin Luther King Jr.

“You have heard, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say: Love your enemies…” — Jesus Christ

Thank you! I’ll give this a try!

🤦🏻‍♂️😂😅

I should’ve KNOWN to check the ALT text of a photo in your posts.

Looks like Jack Nicholson front and center! 😅 (But can’t be if the photo is from 1921?)

I’m grateful for the 2 people who regularly like 👍🏼 my posts here. 😅

I’ve been convinced for a while now that this social platform has the best overall experience & tools, so I guess I’m stumped why interaction here is generally so low. 🤔

“And all this science, I don’t understand,
It’s just my job five days a week…”

If you stare at the word “acetaminophen” like a cow 🐄 stares at a new gate, and then stumble all over the pronunciation, I can be confident:

1. You have no business making medical decisions for others

2. You’ve never given medical care to another person (spouse, child) in your entire life

I’m still amazed at what minor issues that religious people will “separate” over and ostracize for, but when it comes to someone famous, they’ll overlook any difference so long as the name of Jesus is mentioned. 😐

Republicans have been saying for 50 years that “government can not/should not be trusted,” and now they’ve finally elected an administration that can not/should not be trusted, and is working every day to undermine general trust in the government. 🫤

“Freedom of speech?”

Colbert & Kimmel, cancelled.

The NYT ($15B) & the WSJ ($10B), sued by Trump. ($25B in potential payouts to his total net worth of $4B?)

CBS ($16m) & ABC ($15m), paid to Trump.

The AP banned from the White House Press Pool.

Why is Trump shutting down the press?

🤐😐

Let’s not conflate:

• A “gospel” of religious nationalism
• A “gospel” of white supremacy
• A “gospel” of patriarchy & misogyny
• A “gospel” of fear & division

with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 💛

This provided an opportunity for a good conversation with my son.

We vehemently disagreed with Charlie Kirk on pretty much everything he said, but that’s not cause for violence.

I'm against gun violence of all kinds, and for all people.

We can disagree without violence.

Some people like loud noises — especially music 🎵, motors 🛻, and motorcycles. 🏍️

I am not one of those people. 🎧🙉🙂
