@rd_whitley@Xtopher_Uzo Interesting. Why do you find this claim that Protestants believe that only the living can be saints? I would like to read up on that…
The war of ideology is fought one encounter at a time.
Great job “capitalizing” on the moment and encouraging all of us to step up to the plate and engage the next generation with love.
If we don’t have these conversations, someone else will.
Parenting with Love and Logic…best negotiation book ever.
@WhiteHouse@SecKennedy Why are there no maternity stores for pregnant women to try on clothes anymore?
There are thousands of stores selling slutty lingerie and none for the glowing expectant mother??
Retail in this country is shameful.
@newstart_2024 People have a high need to feel important.
News show producers have a desperate need to fill air time.
The combination rewards narcissism, contrarianism, and grand standing not peer-reviewed research and civil discourse.
Fools listen to fools.
@alt_w_v_g Properly document on your calendar
The cadence has been established
Second Sunday in May is Mother’s Day
Take responsibility for YOUR mistake
Please fix.
Oversight matters.
My entrepreneurial grandmother always worked alongside her workers.
She said that is how you come in early and under budget.
Still works today.
Had the back patio redone last week.
Four guys showed up at 8:15.
At 8:30 I went outside and asked if they had five minutes for a quick standup.
The foreman said "a what."
I said "a standup. Quick sync. Five minutes. What did you do yesterday. What are you doing today. Any blockers."
He said "we just got here."
I said "right so no blockers. Great. Let's reconvene at noon."
He looked at his crew. His crew looked at the ground.
At noon I went back outside. Asked for a status update.
He said "we're on track."
I said "on track relative to what baseline."
He said "the plan."
I said "is the plan documented somewhere."
He pointed at the patio.
Fair enough.
My wife came outside around 2 PM.
She said "have you been out here all day."
I said "I've been providing board-level oversight."
She said "you've been sitting in a lawn chair watching four men work."
I said "that's what board-level oversight is."
She went inside.
They finished Thursday. One day ahead of schedule.
The foreman shook my hand at the door and said "good working with you."
I said "likewise. I'll send over a post-mortem."
He said "please don't."
