Used a spray bottle on my dog as she’s still barking at someone in the house who lives w us
She acted like I beat her 😭
All dejected & pouting in my room alone
She’s fine 🙄
Friend just said she doesn’t listen to half of what I say cuz she doesn’t care, none of it impacts her
I’m over here tearing up for people who can’t live a safe life
Praying for peaceful resolution but I believe we’re past that
Hopefully it sells to a quiet American family who works in the area
Omgn while looking at the house I decided to check out the rest of town
$250k price difference in a 2 block radius
👀 >$600k price difference for currently listed homes
Wild
House 2 doors down has been on the market for ~80 days
It’s older than our house (30+ yrs), very close in sq footage, nicer yard. They are asking $70k more than what our house closed for earlier this year.
It is a nicer house but I don’t think it’s worth THAT much.
One of the last things I taught myself I did by reading the same book/text/data over & over
On the 4th read, it felt like my brain expanded & just knew what it was being taught
Anyone else?

These stories I share w our Sea Cadet Parents
We recently had a full day boaters safety class taught by the coast guard

You never know what will save their life & yours
"A ten-year-old started screaming about a wave no one could see—and 100 people lived because her parents believed her.
December 26, 2004. Mai Khao Beach, Phuket, Thailand. Christmas holiday. Perfect weather. The Smith family walked along the sand on their first overseas vacation together.
Then Tilly noticed something wrong.
The water wasn't behaving normally. ""It wasn't calm and it wasn't going in and then out,"" she later recalled. ""It was just coming in and in and in.""
The sea had turned frothy—""like you get on a beer,"" she said. ""It was sort of sizzling.""
Any other ten-year-old might have thought it strange. Tilly knew exactly what it meant.
Two weeks earlier, her geography teacher Andrew Kearney had shown the class footage of the 1946 tsunami that devastated Hawaii. He taught them the warning signs: sea receding unusually far, frothy bubbling water, ocean behaving strangely.
Tilly was watching those exact warning signs unfold in front of her.
She started screaming at her parents. ""There's going to be a tsunami!""
They didn't believe her. They couldn't see any wave. The sky was clear. The beach was calm.
But Tilly wouldn't stop. She became more insistent, more frantic.
""I'm going,"" she finally said. ""I'm definitely going. There is definitely going to be a tsunami.""
Her father Colin heard the urgency in her voice. He decided to trust his daughter.
By coincidence, a Japanese man nearby overheard Tilly use the word ""tsunami."" He'd just heard news of an earthquake in Sumatra. ""I think your daughter's right,"" he said.
Colin alerted hotel staff. They began evacuating immediately.
Tilly's mother Penny was one of the last to leave. She had to sprint as the water began rushing in behind her. ""I ran,"" she recalled, ""and then I thought I was going to die.""
They made it to the second floor with seconds to spare.
Then the wave hit. Thirty feet tall.
Everything on the beach—beds, palm trees, debris—was swept into the pool and beyond. ""Even if you hadn't drowned,"" Penny later said, ""you would have been hit by something.""
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami killed over 230,000 people across 14 countries. Entire beaches in Phuket were wiped out.
But at Mai Khao Beach, not a single person died.
Because a ten-year-old girl paid attention in geography class.
Tilly was hailed as the ""Angel of the Beach."" She received awards, spoke at the United Nations, met Bill Clinton. Her story is now taught in schools worldwide.
Her father Colin still thinks about what could have happened. ""If she hadn't told us, we would have just kept on walking,"" he said. ""I'm convinced we would have died.""
Tilly still credits her teacher. ""If it wasn't for Mr. Kearney,"" she told the UN, ""I'd probably be dead and so would my family.""
Two weeks. One lesson. One hundred lives.
That's the power of education.
Buddy’s truck got a new engine due to recall. 108k miles erased by Toyota
Picked him up & went out to eat. He’s been without a vehicle & was alone
Hung out for hours chilling, chatting, enjoying beverages
Autistic employee heard us & came over to interact
10/10 day
We moved many times growing up to far away states, 1st move after I was a teen, my parents asked me & my sis if we wanted to go
We said NO
They asked us every move after that & by the 3rd time I refused to answer
The babies are doing great! Mave came close & sniffed me for the first time (she has the ear tag)
Looks like we lost some vines but most of them are doing great as well
Won’t be able to drive out for a few weeks after today
Tried shopping around for car insurance just to check
Refused to do any of them (tried a hand full) as I had to agree to them texting/calling regardless of the Do Not Call Registry
I’ve watched this so many times 🤣
I was w my bff last year when she had one
Super scary, she’s not prone to them she’s good now - it was a reaction to the additive they use when putting your blood back in when donating plasma
