So why bother it?!
Alligators survive in frozen swamps by sticking their noses through the ice to breathe. Reptiles shut down their metabolism, and they don't need to eat their heart rate slows down, their digestive system slows down, and they just sit and wait for the heat.

One of the best pieces of advice that was given out in pre-birth classes was for the soon-to-be fathers to NOT eat in front of their wives who were in labor. She is hungry, exhausted, and in excruciating pain, so if you must eat leave the delivery room.

My wife and I offer these as “peace offerings”. When we get in real heated arguments and neither one of us wants to admit we’re wrong, we will go out and being home a Nothing Bundt Cake (or other small dessert) as an olive branch and end to our anger at each other.

Please tell me how having photos of your teammates, friends, and family on the inside of your suit jacket on the night you’re going to be drafted in the 1st round of the NFL draft is “thuggish arrogance” Mr. Alpha Male?

Praying for all my fellow black people who work in corporate America, who have to walk/log into work today and be the only black face in the room. Days like this are mentally and emotionally exhausting.

Y’all are hilarious in the comments and the QTs. The point is not everything needs to be made “Smart”, once you start adding computers to refrigerators, washers & dryers, etc. you are making them more expensive and more difficult to maintain.

Ok, since everything seems to have to be explained in great detail….
It’s a peace Offering so we can remove our armor, then work through things in a more peaceful state of mind. The cake (or other small treat) is how we break the ice to come together to resolve the argument.

Every major holiday in this country is a reminder of how truly vile and
despicable the founders of our country were and how shameful the bedrock and foundation of this nation is.
In the black community, New Year’s Day used to be widely known as 'Hiring Day' or 'Heartbreak Day', because enslaved people spent New Year’s Eve waiting, wondering if their owners were going to rent them out to someone else, thus potentially splitting up their families...

I met my wife in a D9 GroupMe. I always thought she was beautiful and very intelligent, but I was terrified to DM her.
She DMed wishing me condolences after my Grandma passed away, and a couple months later I travelled from New Orleans to Dallas to meet her.
8 yrs married now.
The comments on this are great 🙂
If y'all wouldn't mind dropping a comment/quote tweet of where you met your spouse & a pic - people seem interested 🤷🏻♂️
We met on hinge 🙏

I grew up in a neighborhood/community like this. When someone had a baby, major surgery, or had a death in the family people would cook for them for weeks, being care packages, do yard work, and just help them. It was amazing.

One of the best pieces of advice my dad ever gave me was to always buy the most basic appliances like washers, refrigerators, etc. There is no reason to have a TV/computer in an appliance, that’s just something that can break and requires a specialist to fix at a high cost.

In 2022 I attempted suicide.
I am thankful that I am still here today to even tweet this. It’s anxiety inducing still to say it out loud (and terrifying to say here), but I know by saying it I am helping myself heal from it and possibly helping to reduce the stigma of it all.

This is going to be the norm cause parents have to work to provide for their families. Not everyone has the luxury of working from home so they can keep their kids at home.
