Sorry to hear about your beloved pupper @lyra

Sending out positive and healing vibes to all of you. Whether you’re experiencing loss, anxiety, joy or uncertainty. It’s important to lift your neighbors and encourage positivity and healing. I am sending all of the good feels today and every day.
I believe I have found my place of true zen. My entire circle of my dearest friends are now within more reasonable reach, and I feel more at peace. I could not be more blessed to have my DH and my family. I miss my brother and his family since they are across the country from me, but they are thriving and doing well. For that, I am grateful.
My BFF moved down the street from me from VA at the end of March. She and I have not lived close to one another since we left College. This is a dream come true to have her in my neighborhood surrounded by a great community with “Framily” who love & support her.
I am excited for new beginnings between old friends.
In spite of the chaos and tension everywhere, my world is a beautiful place to be, right now.
Giving thanks for the little things that mean so much.
Have a remarkable weekend!

Before her time. That's a hair flip. That's metal.

OMG. I can laugh about and share this only in the anonymity of the internets.

I came home from my weekly alcohol infused lunch with friends to find DH frantically washing off his manhood because he chopped hot peppers for dinner and forgot to wash his hands before he peed. Talk about a hot tamale

Thanks for the laugh. I needed it today. I hope your DH has recovered!

A man that cooks/uses his hands!! Awesome!!!

I've learned to wear nitrile gloves when I chop bird's eye chilies.
Even hand washing didn't remove enough of the capsaicin. Yeouch!

I am so impressed with Giorgia Meloni. She isn’t just leading Italy...she’s standing up for the core values of Western civilization itself. She is one strong principled individual and Italy is lucky to have her. Courageous and brave.


This is the reminder that it doesn’t take a lot of people to stand up for what is right, just one or two brave women who stand up for what is right and more and more people will stand up for what is right and stand against the wrong. Then comes change (hopefully). We are still living in the Twilight Zone. Might not affect people now but it sure will affect your children

Question for the western world. If one group claims the land belongs to them but they set it on fire and cheer do you really believe it belongs to them? Anyone here familiar with the story of Solomon and the baby?

I’m so proud Australia! We said No to nuclear, defunding government services and overmining our natural resources for gas & coal but, we said YES to Medicare, our Indigenous heritage & people, housing, continued Gov’t services and renewable initiatives for our environment.

OUCH!

Sorry, but I gotta ask.
Is a "womanhood" just as sensitive to capsaicin as a "manhood" is?
More so?

Oh and, I can ask this only in the anonymity of the internets.

Since I don't a have manhood I can't speak to that. As for my own womanhood, it would not react kindly to capsaicin. It is less convenient to wash it off under a faucet since it would take a contortionist to do that successfully if it's even possible. It would require the hand held shower thingy to reach the scorched anatomy. I am only guessing at this point because I'm not dumb enough to forget to wash my hands before touching any of my hoods and it's usual for me to wear gloves when chopping hot peppers; said gloves being a strong reminder to not touch sensitive anatomy north and south of the belly button.

Thanks.

I think the only folks qualified to answer the question were born with a manhood, but now has a womanhood, or vice versa.

Of course that is, only if replacement/substitute/exchanged/transplanted units are identical in every way to the original-equipment units.
I've no clue.

Me either but I know someone I can ask but I won't

Hamas announced that they will release Eden Alexander. An American hostage who has been in Gaza for 582 days.


Eden is believed to be the last known living American hostage in Gaza.


This announcement coincides with the current administration’s visit to the Middle East

 

[Matata]

This announcement coincides with the current administration’s visit to the Middle East

It's great that a hostage will be released. I wonder what Hamas will get via Qatar for releasing the hostage. Qatar is a major funder of Hamas. Qatar just gave the president a flying palace custom airplane. If you search "why is the president going to the ME, you'll find it's to broker business deals and little if anything to do with geopolitics and he just got paid a nice plane in exchange for we no not what. The Saudis have their own agenda to give him things that please him so he doesn't ask questions they don't want to answer. Nothing is pure with this administration.

Some stories say it's a "temporary" gift, yet say it will go to the library. How can that be "temporary"? And is a plane just going to sit outside of the library and not be used?

The facts are not in yet. Let’s wait for the truth.
I will rejoice when all the remaining living hostages are finally released. I rejoice for each and every hostage who has been released alive.

Inhumane conditions for 582 days. Time to bring them home however that gets done. IMO
Not a happy Mother’s Day for all those poor mothers whose children were kidnapped,tortured, mutilated.
Release the remaining hostages now

So my turn to say by any means necessary

I don’t know the truth. None of us do yet

"Reports that a jet is being gifted by Qatar to the United States government during the upcoming visit are inaccurate," Ali Al-Ansari, Qatar's Media Attaché to the US, told The Post.


"The possible transfer of an aircraft for temporary use as Air Force One is currently under consideration between Qatar's Ministry of Defense and the US


Department of Defense, but the matter remains under review by the respective legal departments, and no decision has been made."'

@Matata

As for Qatar-of course they are not our friends Never been our friends. Funding anti American campus activities, infiltrating our schools for decades (!!!) and controlling programming as well as hosting Hamas. Yeah they’re bad dudes yet they’re allowed to continue brainwashing and poisoning our students. They are calculating, cunning enemies with the long term plan to destroy our way of life. Amazing how that has been going on for decades and decades and explains the current situation we’re facing. It was and is all part of their master plan. And they’re succeeding.

And nothing is pure with ANY administration

Qatar=Hamas

Which is why I said "Some stories say".

 

[missy]

Which is why I said "Some stories say".

Yes and that is why jumping to conclusions is just that. We don't have the facts.

I am praying for Edan's safe release and the rest of the hostages who are in brutal conditions.
As we all should be. Release the hostages. Let our people go.

RIP Hersh an American who was mercilessly tortured and then killed right before his rescue.
Hersh is among dozens of Americans killed by Hamas.
Just for those who don't know Hamas has a long history of murdering U.S. nationals dating back to its founding in the late 1980s.

The U.S. State Department officials estimated 46 US citizens were killed.

Victims included citizens from the United States, Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Thailand, Nepal, and several other countries, reflecting the global impact of the attack. They don't care who they kill including their own people. That is who they are

May Eden make it home safely to his family

The gift of the plane is drawing a huge amount of criticism even from the prez's supporters so I expect there will be a change in plans which is what I expected would happen. The prez is having a meltdown over the pushback he's getting for wanting to take possession of the plane.

I don't know how it will end up, but if it is going to be used by him, it will take a lot of money and time to retrofit it. If it's not going to stay in service, seems like a lot of money to spend. I guess time will tell.

That is the plan as I hear it. That it will be gifted to him (gee...I wonder what they will get in return at taxpayer's expense) under the pretext of it becoming Air Force One. However, it will have to be retrofitted to US Airforce standards and well as vetted thoroughly for tracking and listening devices. All paid for by the tax payer. How long will this take? I don't know, but it won't happen overnight, and it won't be cheap. Then, conveniently, the plan is to transfer it, just prior to his leaving office, to his presidential library foundation (again at taxpayer expense.) Now, does anyone believe that the plane will be installed as some sort of display? No, it will become his personal flying palace. In plain-speak (pun intended) it is a bribe/grift happening right before our eyes (for those of us that still have theirs open.)

We will see if it actually comes to fruition: those pesky laws and constitution keep getting in the way.

With Boeing still seemingly delayed on the new Air Force One's delivery (was supposed to be delivered last year and they are still years behind)
*****************************************
Trump told reporters in an unrelated press conference Monday he “wouldn’t be using” the plane after he leaves office and it “would go directly” to his presidential library.

Calling the gift a “great gesture,” Trump said he “would never be one to turn down that kind of an offer,” justifying his use of the plane, in part, by reiterating his previous complaints that Boeing was taking too long to build new Air Force Ones.

“It’s not a gift to me, it’s a gift to the Department of Defense,” Trump said, telling a reporter they should be “embarrassed” for asking what his response is to people who view the jet as a personal gift to him.

The Qatari royal family’s gift is expected to be formally announced next week as Trump visits Qatar during the first foreign trip of his second term, according to ABC News—which first reported the gift early Sunday.
In a Sunday post on his Truth Social platform the president said the Defense Department was getting the aircraft as a “GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE,” to replace the 40-year-old jet “temporarily” serving as Air Force One.
The president said his administration would accept the gift “in a very public and transparent transaction.”

"The possible transfer of an aircraft for temporary use as Air Force One is currently under consideration between Qatar's Ministry of Defense and the U.S. Department of Defense, but the matter remains under review by the respective legal departments, and no decision has been made," Qatari embassy official Ali Al-Ansari told ABC News.

Presidents have for decades circumvented the Emoluments Clause by classifying gifts they receive while in office as gifts to the office of the president. Those gifts are then cataloged and stored as part of their presidential libraries after leaving office. While presidents maintain some level of access to the items in their libraries, they do not own them directly and must purchase them from the federal government in order to secure private ownership.

I used to drink these at The Adobe Grill at the La Quinta resort. A favorite--of course they no longer make them.....

So if it is a gift to the Dept. of Defense, it is the property of the US government and should not go into his presidential library.
