No apologies needed. I'd devour this one just as greedily esthetic one you wrote and I'm sure it would leave me just as satisfied.😊

Like magnets, maybe??🤔😅

Fucking vile

Oh we are definitely abundant out here in my experience. There were some decent turnouts at the protests in Moline and Davenport.

In Silvis? I've heard of it but haven't tried it yet. Might have to give it a try.

A man on a motorcycle existed, but existed in a way that was deemed inappropriate or unsatisfactory by law enforcement, who, as we know, are the ultimate authority on such things. Therefore, the man was summarily introduced to a bullet, which determined his removal from existence.

I hate it here.

I'm in the Quad Cities (moved here in 2012), but previously lived on south side (Blue Island) where my husband was born & raised & our son was born. I loved it there too. We visit often because his family is still there.

Damn. Now I want Beggars Pizza and T&G Gyros (the best lol)

EXACTLY. It is sometimes difficult to quantify it in words just how worthwhile the trade off can be & is for myself & many others.

I pay more in property taxes & gas bc I live in a quiet rural village outside of the metro, but what I get in return is priceless to me as a queer woman & mom.

Hell yes

Every day that goes by I am comforted and relieved that I chose to call Illinois my home 17 years ago, and happier by the day that this man is my governor. For reference, I came here from TN. No going back now, that's for sure.

Luckily, although I'm a cubs fan, I married into a family that's a mix of both and we get along just fine.😅

At least he's not a Cardinal anymore!!🤣🤣

I'm dying. Illinoisan and loving the memes today (and my governor)

And he would agree with his whole chest and we would love him even more.

Me, a cubs fan, excitedly hugs a Sox fan. There is peace across the land.😅

An* Jesus horatio christ

Me...and Illinoisan:

🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣

It is infuriating & disgusting that an administration completely devoid of honor, dignity, selfless service or sacrifice - lead by an individual so lacking that he is the antithesis of the code & mores of our armed services - should have the audacity & gall to treat our service members this way.

Both of my grandfathers have passed on. May I petition this worthy gentleman to adopt me?🥹
A man with the right stuff right here.❤️

Love,

Boggles my mind every damn day. Sometimes I feel like I fever dreamed my high school experience of paying attention (I was a freshman on 9/11). I got to watch it all go down & my dad & buddies go to war over & over. My dad made it but others didn't.

For what?! What was even learned/gained?!🤬🤦‍♀️

*I'm lord🙄🤦‍♀️

Anyway, apparently I lied. I did cook, but it was just scrambled eggs with ham, peppers, onions & cheese with reheated leftover cheesy scalloped potatoes that I'd made from scratch last night. Ah well. No peace for me with these children (including the furry toddler lol)

Halp. I'm just trying to use the bathroom & my stage 5 clinger blue heeler is crying outside the door like a pathetic baby because mom left him 🙄 & my teenage son thinks it's hilarious so now he's fake crying, screeching & making animal noises.🤦‍♀️

I'll gonna boycott cooking. No peace, no dinner.😒🤪

Also adding, always glad to provide a laugh!😅

If by awesome you mean still weird and goofy as hell with a long list of "useless" knowledge & skills, then yes. Lmao

I once snorted ground up hot cheetos thru a straw on a dare and even THAT wasn't this dumb.

Hey, man, I made $5 and the boy who dared me to do it had to do it too and cried threw up sooo 🤷‍♀️😅

Me since the day I picked up The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas and thought "my god. No movie adaptation will EVER be able to scratch the surface on this masterpiece." Revenge flicks just get my motor running even when cheesy but I LOVE when a good one absolutely surprises me.

Hahaha yeah he's my Kevin Smith. We're both fans. 😅 Definitely agree on the personality thing. Even on moments like today where i just woke up but he's at 100mph because he worked the overnight shift & had a couple drinks after & he's being goofy af & I just need a sec to peel my eyelids open lmao

Yes!!! Like, could absolutely swing a battle axe with ease, or carry you away from danger in a heartbeat but also snuggly like teddy bear, heart of gold & a sense of humor that gets you laughing even when you really were mad & now you're mad you can't be mad lol
Built for war. Gentle as can be.❤️

He's got that dad bod, but it's seriously deceptive bc between the broad shoulders that lets him carry insanely heavy things to his tree trunk legs, it doesn't matter that he doesn't have 6 pack abs. Man is solid af. He's not 6 ft & it's perfect bc I don't have to stand tiptoes to kiss him.😊

Yup. My husband struggled with insecurities re: his appearance being bombarded w/nonsense that made him believe no woman would ever find him attractive.

His hair is not as long as when I fell for him but he's my Irish/Swedish D&D viking barbarian tank & no man compares. Built for battle & cuddles.❤️

Exactly. We know where this leads. They've already talked about sending neurodivergent people including me & like half my damn family including my son to "wellness farms." We're shipping immigrants to concentration camps without due process. Erasing trans people across the board.
We're already here.
