Why would you do that? What is your point? How would you know that the person is an American? What is wrong with being an American? Not each of us is the fucking president of the goddamn United states. Get it?

Our book was delivered today to over 400 homes. With this weather in the United States we are unbelievably grateful. Over 3,000 copies were sold on the first day on Valentine's Day. And England and Canada are putting us over the top. Thank you ❤️ forever #booksky #author #book

12 hours later we received our first ranking and we could not be more thrilled. We debuted at number 5 in the top 100 best new sellers. We are grateful to everyone and what we want more than anything is for everybody to have a fantastic laugh. Just laugh your ass off!

Available on the big A. Our follow-up to our first co-authored book as we are overjoyed with requests for more stories. All true. All outrageous. The dedication page alone will stop you in your tracks. Trust me. Happy Valentine's. Russell and I hope you enjoy. All royalties go to my mental health. 😂

You know I just happened to come on here and I have been gone for days I was on a retreat in Maine and felt the earthquake. LOL I'm not on this app very much. I don't enjoy it. Are you not on the other one? I thought you see my stuff there.

Released from hospital. These walls are behind me and will remain there. Not me. It's ironic. You're there to save your ass but they practice masochism with their dietary amusings and the nightgowns would frighten Vogue editorials. Cancer won't kill me..however the bills???....hello death!🫣 #cansky

Yes that was what I meant on civilized. I'm still trying to learn how to do a post with only 300 characters so I might not have been clear. LOL

i understand that but it's how it's communicated that it's just so pathetic. Why can't people disagree without hate? There are people on Blue Sky that are full of Venom just like there are on Twitter just not to the same extent.

Okay I'm going to say it. This place is no better than Twitter. There is April 4th of vile and contempt about the Republicans. I keep seeing the f-bomb about Trump and musk. What Joy is there in that? We already know who and what they are. Why continue to lament???

I think the courage comes in time. There's some people who look at us like we're courageous at the very moment of diagnosis. They don't see that we're all shit scared at first. Personally I have never felt courageous. At times I reluctantly endure it for the prize... life itself. ❤️

I have cancer. I am equated with being courageous. I was given this medal the very exact moment I was given the diagnosis. I'm courageous. Really? Is it automatic? Truthfully the only thing I was given at the moment of my diagnosis was a bill. The tumor made a fortune for the doc but bankrupted me.

To this day I would say the most pissed off I have ever been was over 20 years ago when my nephew said to me, "Uncle Robert when you were in school did they have history class?"

I'm a cancer patient and I'm not doing well. They stopped my treatment so I started a go fund me for surgery I have next month and it's interesting that within minutes I had three people directing me to another site. Never happened on Twitter. Thus I removed the post. The sky is not always Bluer!

We debuted that number 18 in the top 100 on Amazon the day the book came out on black friday. By Saturday afternoon we were at number four. We remain stunned. LOL

Russell and I thought we would have a small audience for our book because it was written for people who said they wanted more stories and these are followers with whom we engage, perhaps 50 regularly. We thought we'd be lucky to sell 80 let alone over 500. We cannot be more appreciative. Thank you.

I still laugh every time I think of that woman in that video that has gone viral that was given a ticket for illegal parking that told the cop the sign literally says fine for parking. I guess these signs need clarification now. Or we could go back and have education in America with expectations.

You will see no one today who is without hurt. Without struggle. Without consequence. Without solutions seeking. You are not alone. They are not alone. We're in this together. Be kind. Don't add to the struggle. This includes being kind to yourself. ❤️

I am 67 years old and had no idea Humpty is the expectant commander in chief. I hope that as Donald sits high on his wall of esteem saturated in delusional ego that he falls and is a bloody mess which the cabinet, congress, representatives, and supreme justices can not put him back together again!

Today each of the 4 books I published in 2024 are available for the lowest cost amazon allows. $7.95 each. I hope this helps those who shared with me their financial constraints. Terminating Terminal Terminology is my proudest achievement ever. Thank you for considering. #booksky #cansky

All this weekend for sale on the big A for $7.95 to help those who expressed tight budgets but hoping to get it for Christmas. If this helps cost wise please take the opportunity. It's back to NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS Monday. Lol. The word has been terrific with lots of laughs. Grateful. a.co/d/2pV9emG

You know how when you look at a YouTube video like how to get graham crackers out of your carpeting and they show you an advertisement that you can skip in 4 seconds? Has anybody ever not skipped??? Things like this keep me awake!

Depressed? Feeling down? The best way to snap out of this is to do something for somebody else. It'll make you feel great knowing you have contributed to somebody's happiness. May I tell you what I'd like for Christmas?

Woman in front of me to pay at the boutique shop Family Dollar told someone on her phone to kiss her ass and go to hell. Then she told the cashier Merry Christmas. That's the spirit!

#booksky 38 years of friendship and going for 38 more. Antics and improbable circumstances yielding to laughter at the absurdity of it all. Enjoy a great holiday read.
