"Many people are saying..." 😂

Hope you're okay, friend. ❤

Now that I'm older and (hopefully) wiser, I totally get it - but when I was younger, I was stunned to learn that one of my favorite rock artists/stars was a huge fan of Bluegrass music. :)

My wife and I have a 14-year-old son. He's awesome and we love him bunches. But I totally agree with this. I have zero issues with people choosing not to have kids. Totally get it.

Take that, Dad!

I do sometimes wake up at 4am though, and wonder, did I assign that project that is due today? Haha.

I'm alright. I'm employed. :)

Professor here. Teach a lot of undergraduate writing courses. Thanks in part to AI, I've been thinking a lot more about retirement lately.

Hahaha...that made me chuckle. 😂

I've always said the MW is my favorite conference!

I wish I had a default person - someone in my life when things go wrong - that I could automatically blame. A scapegoat that I could cast all my mistakes upon, like they do to Joe Biden. Haha.

Nah. Was being funny.

Occasionally I am so sleepy during the day, and then I stare at the ceiling half the night when I'm in bed. Haha. :)

A bit off topic, but my wife used that word earlier today and she mispronounced it about three times. She was so aggravated at herself. It was hilarious - and adorable. Haha.

Would just be happy if I could get my old Dodge pickup to start. Haha. :)

Just shows how out of touch he is and doesn't recognize that the world - and all countries - are made up of regular citizens. He only seems concerned w the elites and leaders, good or bad.

I met him once. :)

I love that film. Watch it occasionally, still. :)

Would love something like this for old people like me. Haha. :)

Haha - this made me laugh, friend. :)

Yes, this. Sometimes I have to step away and have an attitude of "I don't want to know." I don't stay there and eventually get caught back up w everything. But at some point, I just feel a desire to eat some Ruffles and watch old reruns of Happy Days or something.

Same. :)

Hahaha - this is serious issue. Stop making me laugh. :)

That's what I was gonna say - wouldn't hardly be anybody left in government. Haha.

Well, I've got a 14-yr-old son to help me figure out complicated technological tasks such as that. Haha.

A very...logical...observation.

No joke. Ugh.

I guess this is supposed to surprise me, but at this point - it absolutely does not.

I guess they haven't captured and detained all the mean, evil 5-year-olds, yet. :(

Shots after dark.
