@ochocinco So what I am hearing you say is you and I are going to Pittsburgh together?

Absorbing deep knowledge won’t happen overnight. But frequently asking two powerful questions can put you on the right track: “Why?” and “Can you give me an example?” https://t.co/9vIJnvyvFO

@LanceMcAlister Every season is a series of twists and turns, injuries, etc…….but I love this trade.

🚨 U.S. National Debt just hit $39 trillion

The last trillion was added in just 146 days.

That’s $6.85 billion every single day.

Or $79,282 every second.

Interest costs now exceed $1T annually.

@tonydindy Hey, it goes perfect with the inside out backwards sweatshirt!

The fact they kept switching camera angles like it’s an actual Olympic event is sending me 😭

In 1999, Warren Buffett gave a 1-hour masterclass explaining why most people never build wealth.

His frameworks:
• The 10% thought experiment
• The admiration exercise
• Learn from post-mortems

There are decades where nothing happens, and weeks where decades happen, like the last 3. Greenland, Venezuela, TSMC/Arizona, Japan, Canada/China, Fed, Minneapolis: any would have been a game changer. Together they have unmoored our world. My take: https://t.co/KDew62bIOJ

@genesimmons Thank goodness your vices didn’t hurt your health or Shannon’s health.

@BengalsCaptain Am I the only one who watches every week? The linebackers take bad angles, no pressure from the dline, and our safeties couldn’t find a tackle in a bait shop on the Ohio river.

[Doug E Fresh @DougPedigo]

@BengalsCaptain Winners don’t make excuses……life long fan but the record is what it is. The defense has been historically bad. Even with 3 back up offensive lineman the defense can’t capitalize.

"My name's Raymond. I'm 73. I work the parking lot at St. Joseph's Hospital. Minimum wage, orange vest, a whistle I barely use. Most people don't even look at me. I'm just the old man waving cars into spaces.
But I see everything.

Like the black sedan that circled the lot every morning at 6 a.m. for three weeks. Young man driving, grandmother in the passenger seat. Chemotherapy, I figured. He'd drop her at the entrance, then spend 20 minutes hunting for parking, missing her appointments.

One morning, I stopped him. "What time tomorrow?"
"6:15," he said, confused.
"Space A-7 will be empty. I'll save it."
He blinked. "You... you can do that?"
"I can now," I said.

Next morning, I stood in A-7, holding my ground as cars circled angrily. When his sedan pulled up, I moved. He rolled down his window, speechless. "Why?"
"Because she needs you in there with her," I said. "Not out here stressing."
He cried. Right there in the parking lot.

Word spread quietly. A father with a sick baby asked if I could help. A woman visiting her dying husband. I started arriving at 5 a.m., notebook in hand, tracking who needed what. Saved spots became sacred. People stopped honking. They waited. Because they knew someone else was fighting something bigger than traffic.
But here's what changed everything, A businessman in a Mercedes screamed at me one morning. "I'm not sick! I need that spot for a meeting!"

"Then walk," I said calmly. "That space is for someone whose hands are shaking too hard to grip a steering wheel."

He sped off, furious. But a woman behind him got out of her car and hugged me. "My son has leukemia," she sobbed. "Thank you for seeing us."

The hospital tried to stop me. "Liability issues," they said. But then families started writing letters. Dozens. "Raymond made the worst days bearable." "He gave us one less thing to break over."

Last month, they made it official. "Reserved Parking for Families in Crisis." Ten spots, marked with blue signs. And they asked me to manage it.

But the best part? A man I'd helped two years ago, his mother survived, came back. He's a carpenter. Built a small wooden box, mounted it by the reserved spaces. Inside? Prayer cards, tissues, breath mints, and a note,

"Take what you need. You're not alone. -Raymond & Friends"
People leave things now. Granola bars. Phone chargers. Yesterday, someone left a hand-knitted blanket.
I'm 73. I direct traffic in a hospital parking lot. But I've learned this: Healing doesn't just happen in operating rooms. Sometimes it starts in a parking space. When someone says, "I see your crisis. Let me carry this one small piece."

So pay attention. At the grocery checkout, the coffee line, wherever you are. Someone's drowning in the little things while fighting the big ones.

Hold a door. Save a spot. Carry the weight no one else sees.
It's not glamorous. But it's everything."

Let this story reach more hearts....
