Triage

So Chicago is colder than Antarctica! 

This morning -27 and with wind chill -50!! House was crackling all night with weird sounds that we found out is cryoseism! 

I had no idea what to expect this morning when going to work... So what's the worst weather you have experienced? 

Also for fun:

It's winter in Illinois

And the gentle breezes blow 

Seventy five miles an hour,

At thirty-five below 

Oh, however I love Illinois 

When the snow's up to my butt 

You take a breath of winter air 

And your nose gets frozen shut.

Yes, the weather here is wonderful 

So I guess I'll hang around.

I could never leave Illinois 

'Cause I'm frozen to the ground!

That phrase is more misused than most things Christians quote from the Bible. I can’t tell you how many liars use that phrase along with the words like “strategy” to manage others awareness of their disceptive behavior once it has become known. As you can tell, I’m not a big fan. 

Thank you! My thoughts exactly. I'm glad I'm not the only one and your opinion to me counts like 20 people

Depends. If you’re pretty certain the answer will be no then it’s easier to ask for forgiveness. But if there’s a chance the answer could be yes then I’d say it’s easier to ask for permission. 

 

Why? What are you up too?   lol

I will tell you once it's time to ask for forgiveness 

So there is a saying that bugs me: 

"It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to ask permission" 

Maybe in the case of Grace Hopper. But for daily life for majority it's not the best way to live by. Why take the risk? I'd rather ask for permission then fight it if I get a no  

Then do it anyway  At least I asked and discussed it.

Teaching boys to respect women is not the same as teaching them to be 'ashamed' for liking women, teaching them to avoid bullying/fighting is not the same as teaching them to refrain from self-defense, teaching them it is OK to embrace their emotions is not the same as teaching them to wallow in it, and teaching them to be socially harmonious is not the same as teaching them to be docile.

My favorite post from you! 

As a parent of two kids I appreciate commercials and anything else that supports how I raise my kids. I raise my kids not to bully not to harras and to be good human being and if they do stupid shit, own up to it, learn from it and be better. Hence as a parent of two I have zero issues with the commercial or anything that supports positive message.

Yeah, my immediate reaction was just being puzzled about why they made this. 

To get attention because we know how that goes especially after Nike. So my issue is if the intent is to pass a positive message to bring attention to an issue that needs resolution, that's great. But if it's only to increase your sales that really sucks because the issue is real. 

Or someone got brave enough because more and more women speak out?

This was basically how my husband felt about it.

 

It's nice being married to a guy who doesn't think he has to be an asshole to be a man.

Same with @Emblazon.

I am kinda like "so all men are monsters, huh?"And I am kinda with whoever this guy is.

Saw this on The Philip DeFranco show, but I don't feel this strongly about it. Mainly because it does feel partially like, "ALL MEN MUST CHANGE," but I don't think that was the intent. I mostly dislike their use of this message to sell razors. Feels similar to that pepsi shit with whatever jenner. 

 

I see it as "Men, you need to stop being a bully, stop sexually harassing people, etc." And I think that is where the outrage is, or was at this point. 

But it also shows men that stop harassment and bullying and says that some men already do that (the right deeds). Not once says all Men. 

Yeah by now eneryone has seen or heard of the Gillette commercial... Seems men on both right and left side find it offensive. Curious to see how men of D1P feel and why 

@Anzo

We got our pictures and we have about 1000 but I won't torture you with all of them

I had issues like this myself.  My doctor was pretty useless beyond giving me some reading about TMJ.  Went and saw my chiropractor who did some adjustments on my jaw and everything got better shortly thereafter and has not returned.

My chiropractor said she can fix it too with adjustments but that's one adjustment I'm scared of. Did it hurt? 

@kittykat see chiropractor helped him as well?  

I have had issues since I can remember.. It hurts cramps locks every time I take a first bite. I haven't done anything about it by now I'm used to it and just brace myself before I eat lol 

We are waiting for our wedding pictures probably another week. But we have plenty of Disney familymoon vacation pictures! 

Happy birthday @kittykat

Oops 

I read your post from email and didn't realize Emblazon already posted  

I was just tired! 

I'm not sure when we will have our wedding pics but I have couple Emblazon took.. I love this one it was after photo session where I took off the vail that didn't cooperate in the wind. At one point my dress was flying and bunch of leaves were on my dress, in my hair amd eyes. We had to pick em all off before continuing on 

And we sneeked in a selfie 

Anzo has a cooler pic from last night of is three not sure if he wanted to post or not.

I might have shave my head.. The wind tangled my hair beyond what a hairbrush can do!  

Thank you for watching, support and everything. Special big thanks to Anzo for being there and making the video. Your daughter is beyond words adorable sweetheart.

It ain't that big a deal.

 

I guess it's kinda weird to me that some people treat it like it's a big thing, but then, I grew up around guns and have been shooting since I was probably 5 or 6. And while I've no desire to own an AR or anything like it, I don't really get what's so much more intimidating about the sound of one over any other gun.

For me it's fear kids (I guess they are old enough now) or like when my older was trying to sneak in the house and we almost took her head off with a katana thinking someone is breaking in.. That would have gone badly with a gun. Plus I used to be treated for depression and still have anxiety so there is that fear. I think once I was comfortable with one because training I wouldn't mind.
