The way they continually project the very best of thoughts, intentions, actions, & outcomes on the very worst of humanity — it’s unbelievable.

When all you have are thoughts & prayers, it really is the thought that counts.

Here’s a small win 🏆 that I celebrate as a single parent: 5 years of successfully getting my son to his semi-annual dentist appointments.

The last 2 visits have even been cavity-free! 🎉

(We celebrated with a trip to the graphic novel section at Barnes & Noble. 📚 😎)

I used some MPerks points this morning to get “rollback pricing” (to last week’s price?). 😅 But on 22 gallons, I saved $22….

No, YouTube, I •don’t• want a screen-wide promo for the SOTU. I won’t be watching that nonsense. 🤨

Oh, to be able to call a doctor's office and actually be able to speak 🗣️ to a person, not try to work through a phone menu, leave a voicemail, or send a message through a portal. 😐

Nick Offerman:  "Abolish ICE."

"Wait, wait, I worry that what you heard was 'increase oversight of ICE and rein in their excesses.'

"What I said was, 'Abolish ICE.' Do you understand?"

If it was AI, I would want it to look better than that. 😅

It’s ironic to write about the dangers of fascism from the Substack platform that supports & enables fascism.

So much respect for @theradr.bsky.social and her move away from Substack to Ghost so long ago. 👏🏼

For real. Can a person say they’re against Not-sees and fascism but still publish on Substack?

What’s up with DoorDash trying to default to a 24% tip to the driver on my order tonight? 😒

Sometimes I’ll think, as another car 🚗 passes me, “What’s your hurry? I’m doing the speed limit.” 😅

Then within a minute I’ll find myself thinking, “Well, I can’t be dawdling like that other car 🚙 I just passed.” 😂

Something similar to “A List Apart,” but different? 😊

Fees are so bad right now. I had a similar experience over the weekend when ordering flowers 💐 to be delivered to my mother-in-law for my late wife’s birthday yesterday. 💛

If I were in banking, I’d look into developing a limited application loan and market it as the:

“Single Parent in THIS Economy?” Loan 💵

(Hey, the “SPITE” loan — I may be on to something here. ™️😅)

Is there an active #Salesforce community on this site? It seems like any posts or people who reference Salesforce have been inactive for several months (or more). Where do we find good information and connection?

A rainy ☔️ Tuesday seems like a day for listening to Lionel Richie 🎧🎵 (and revisiting this old meme that still makes me laugh 😂)…

Over & over again, Republicans demonstrate that for them, the cruelty is the point of their policies… 😕

I generally like lattes — vanilla or caramel — but sometimes a macchiato. ☕️

My stomach 🥴 is casting the deciding ballot this morning, siding with my wallet in a 2-1 vote against my tastebuds concerning the matter of starting my day with an expensive latte. ☕️ 😅

Man, the way this part from Les Misérables has been haunting me lately with its relevance:

🎶 You at the barricade, LISTEN TO THIS:
No one is coming to help you to fight!
You’re ON YOUR OWN,
You have NO FRIENDS,
Give up your guns or DIE! 💀🎵
