You guys, the person exercising the powers of the presidency is constitutionally disqualified from holding the office and he’s having the White House bulldozed. This is true and it’s happening, right? I’m not dreaming this?

You can be successful, extraordinary, and achieve greatness if you don't subscribe to how they measure success. Little clue, that measurement allows them to exploit your efforts.

Ok, online dating is new for me yet I feel like not having 40% of your profile photos being in a bathroom is a low bar to exceed and yet.... It has happened more than once.

I wish I could have gone. I would have been late getting there, struggled to find the group and ultimately sore throat this morning told me I did the right thing and stayed home.

Today the movers are going to be taking most of the furniture. I'm sitting here on one of the few pieces I get to keep (because it's broken). Drinking coffee, making a list, open heart and excitement for the possibilities for the future.

There is simply a lack of laughter today. If you can box up some laughter, then you can corner the market on these dating apps.

Careful though, traps all around. A significant number of people warn that they'll fall in love if you make them laugh.

The photosynthesis process stops rather quickly after harvest. Yet, the cells continue through respiration which includes converting stored energy into a useful form.

Very much what I aspire to do in therapy: converting energy into a useful form.

I decided just past the point of blanching if your are boiling it. Fork tender in the oven or microwave. It's still alive on your fork raw in a pasta salad or leafy salad.

Milk and honey were never alive. Almost all other food comes from something that is alive.

I stayed up way too late last night thinking about broccoli and at what point is it no longer alive.

Small wins. No longer losing weight due to stress. Even after not being at the gym in three weeks. The gym is key for my health right now.

That's cool..thank you for sharing.

I'm allowed to take my 2-year-old child on the bus, yet in a motor vehicle, I need a car seat.

Don't get me wrong. Love me a car seat. I don't understand the physics of why it's not needed in a bus? Why aren't seat belts for adults needed in a bus?

For me, that would be $15.66 adjusting for inflation. With this knowledge, I am now prepared for all of the worm eating challenges of next week. #knowyourworth

Dehydrators. Those "fast compost" products you see getting pushed hard... They are simply removing moisture. It's not creating compost. Don't waste your money.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Dating apps are new to me. I quickly determined I will need some new photos.

* Hiking with the sunset in the background
* Fancy clothes at an event like a wedding
* Brunch wearing something sharp yet casual while ignoring the camera.
* Effortless hair while in a hoodie cuddling with a cat or dig

Read these profound words this morning:

My partner of 16 years has decided to leave the relationship. Three months of therapy concluded with one sided effort/personal growth.

No appetite means I don't even get to enjoy a ridiculous amount of ice cream.

In Rio, the plane yoke shouldn't move the flaps or even if those were ailerons, then still shouldn't change with the control stick being pulled back. I feel like it should have nose dived at 1:20 into the movie. YET I am judging a kids movie where the propeller should have killed that evil bird.
