I live in the real world… some of you need to stop expecting perfection from flawed people. reminder - we are ALL flawed. I use mute a lot.

@Idontgive2u I would reuse towels but never shared them.

[Lyndsey Fifield @lyndseyfifield]

I bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists.

As they left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep my word and only share this story with them.

But then the weeks dragged on. They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more. I needed to go on the record (okay). We need more screenshots (okay). I met every bench mark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed.

After the story went up I began to ask them … wait, where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about Graham’s by far)?

Why does it say “nobody could corroborate” when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate?

Why did they include an out of context quote from a friend joking “do not call Graham” after I called off my wedding? (Because she knew I would never).

Where were the screenshots they’d said they would use? Or the mention that I’d supported local democrats and that most of my family (and husband) are liberal?

The editors said it was too much, they explained.

The Times also failed to include any mention that I DID confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been abusive — long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm they told the Times so.

It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life.

And at the end of my call with them I reluctantly accepted their insistence that this was still a powerful story and that I had done a brave thing. And I thanked them for all the hard work they had put into it.

Still fawning after all these years.

@RealWayneDupree 3… getting my cat when she was a kitten … I remember her crawling in my lap in the middle of a litter of kittens. My mom has filled in the details that I then said “I want this one”… & that she was promised to another family but they gave her to us bc she so clearly picked me.

@rovnni Until it alerts you that your heart rate is 225bpm and out of rhythm and you are rushed to the hospital. It’s the only reason I have an Apple Watch and it’s notified me of heart concerns twice. Both times ended up in the hospital requiring a cardioversion.

@WatEverLolaWnts The Chris Pratt movie Mercy on prime is really good too!

[~Michele~ @SeaPry]

Ok just finished watching the rewatch of supernatural - my 80 yr old mothers first time watching. She wants to watch again at some point bc she knows she’s going to miss the characters. Her favorite 2 characters - Dean and Crowley. Lucifer’s final appearance got the following statement “you know he’s excellent, too! Such a cool performance”

I love the show as much now as I did the first time I watched. Excellent. I didn’t think I’d cry this go around knowing the end was coming… I cried again. My mother cried. We need to catch up on our other shows and we will do it again at some point. Maybe rewatch Grimm while we are at it…

[~Michele~ @SeaPry]

Ooh yes… I’ll have to check that out. I loved desperate housewives. We have to finish a bunch of shows in the dvr but will add it to the list. A coworker suggested Fallout on prime and the Burroughs and something very bad is about to happen were recommended by another friend. So much 😩 I’m gonna have to start watching while I work lol

[JoeyTuccio @joey_tuccio]

Stop DM'ing me or calling me about dogs dying on the streets. I suggest you send all your DMs and pleas for help to @jimmykimmel. If he thinks LA is fine and he wants to make fun of animals in need, lets show him the reality.

Well, as I mentioned I don’t personally do that… but having worked in facilities and safety fields - it is safer. Rear cameras do not see around larger vehicles. I used to hate it too, but once I started doing it, I would prefer backing into a spot however, I will not do it in a grocery store parking lot because there’s too many cars and it’s easier to load my car when I am pulled in forward cause I can get to my cargo area. I always back into my driveway if there’s a car directly behind me, I will pull in pull back out and then back in because I’m on a corner and it’s easier to pull straightforward then backing out when there’s cars speeding around the corner.

[~Michele~ @SeaPry]

@tammy_ren Yes. As someone that watched it since it premiered in 2005 and never got into any of the fan fiction stuff… til somehow my algorithm shoved it in my face lol I never ever saw it as anything more than exactly that. The brothers.

[~Michele~ @SeaPry]

If you are pulling into a spot you have full visibility of a pedestrian- you put on a blinker and pull ahead of a spot and back in. I stated I don’t do it if there is a car behind me tho… but if I did I give a heads up by blinker use. If you are backing out of a spot you have possibly larger vehicles on either side and can’t see people coming…

[~Michele~ @SeaPry]

Yes… well her daycare provides boarding, so she gets to play every day. I rarely travel tho so I do random nights for her at the daycare to keep her comfortable with being away from me. She loves it so far. Being a good portion chow chow, she’s skeptical of a lot of people so if she’d likes them I keep it going. I would be terrified if something happened with a friend bc I’d never forgive them… a business she is comfortable with is better for me.

@Kabirdhupelia @prieurdp E) better visibility

I was just outside, pulling some weeds and got the biggest freaking splinter in my finger. I’ve had a lot of different things in my life. Why can a splinter bring instant tears?
