Tell him the skinny trees are stripper poles. Maybe take some of the dead ones and strip the bark off those and paint them with a safe silver paint and place a mirror near it.

We celebrated with my 90 year old father who still works on his farm! My other son, is less autistic, though HIS son has a son who has autism even moreso than either of my two boys. But, at 3 yrs of age is now finding his voice and excelling at school, becoming animated, joyful. Blessed.

My son, who is middle level autistic, was freaking out 3 yrs ago about his past college bills that had gone into collections, after a med stay. Calmed him down, helped get him on feet, set up pymt plan, & now he's just 3 mos. from paying it off on his own! He's so happy! Employed, drives, has apt.

#Caturday Wife rescued Ivy from the interstate last year. Now she lies on her stomach before bed every night while she reads. She sleeps ON her pillow next to her ear, working as the perfect white noise machine, purring in her ear, helping her to fall and stay fast asleep.

For #Caturday my Zeus gives our Momma kitty, Willow, some love! She loves her puppy, and he loves her back. They go on walks together, rubbing bodies together all the way. Everyone thinks we have either the weirdest cat or oddest dog.

Bruce and the band opened the Springsteen & E Street Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour in Minneapolis with the Motown classic "War" and "Born in the U.S.A." — a one-two punch that was live streamed on Bruce's social media for the first time, appearing here with a new audio mix by Chiller Sound.

She wandered into someone’s yard, already so close to giving birth. Not long after, she delivered five tiny babies. She’s still practically a baby herself about a year old , and now she’s trying to figure out how to be a mom inside a kennel. They’re completely dependent on her right now, and she’s doing everything she can… but this isn’t where any of them should be. They need a rescue to step in so she can raise them somewhere safe, quiet, and out of the stress of the care center.Animal ID: #A5766075Lancaster Animal Care CenterPlease check availability by entering the Animal ID on animalcare.lacounty.gov — you can view all our available animals there.🏡 Address: 5210 West Ave. I, Lancaster, CA 93536⏰ Open: Monday - Saturday, 11 AM - 5 PM📧 Email: ACCLancaster@animalcare.lacounty.gov☎️ Phone: 661-940-4191#dog #puppies #puppy

And many of those with mental health and drug problems also were in poverty or near to begin with, or suffered something close to what I did without a safety net and turned to drugs to cope.

One of the homeless is a relative. He is because he lost everything due to medical bankruptcy. 14 years ago, I too went through the same after 5 brain surgeries in 1 year. Small town support, family, and my church kept me from enduring similar path. Drugs & mental health hurt, but isn't sum total.

Great, Great crowd at the Sioux Falls #NoKings rally #LoveAmerica protest today! Over 7,500 lined Phillips Avenue downtown. Peaceful get-together, and when Trump faithful drove by, we chanted, "Love, not hate, makes America great!" Way to go, everybody!!!

I did the thing. I have been busy lately. Not posting much. After 30 radiation treatments, I am officially done. Huge surprise party of friends, family, and my pastor at the finish line for me. Little tear-eyed.

Post-op for my throat surgery. My doctor says "all clear," looks like they got it all!! 28 days of radiation coming up in my near future after some healing. Any prayers, good juju, vibes, whatever you've got, much appreciated! Thank you.

PET-CT scan came back. Malignant tumor found in throat near where my left tonsil used to be and lower. 3 cm x 2.5 cm. But NO metastasis anywhere, no other hotspots (scanned head to thigh) or lesions! (I also have CLL so I was worried) Surgery & radiation, but should be end of it. Deep sigh of relief

I need that Jedi mind trick about now. Today I found out I have throat cancer. My leukemia has sprouted a baby. Oncology team coming together on Monday to formulate a plan to let me know how to kick its ass as quickly as possible. Will update once mission is completed.

From the press room at the Masters in the 1940s. "Sorry, did you mean to add me to your group chain mail list? I seem to have been added by mistake. I received correspondence regarding something called, "Operation Overlord," scheduled for this upcoming June 6th. Is this to be kept hush-hush?"

Interesting note (to us from SW Minnesota), Frederick Manfred (author of Lord Grizzly, which "The Revenant" stole its story from) was from Luverne, MN and a prolific writer. His "Green Earth" book coined the phrase, "Siouxland," which we all now refer to our area so colloquially.
