My waiter had dementia and forgot my order.

I visited a cafe in Japan that ONLY hires people with Dementia. It's called the Cafe Of Mistaken Orders.

Sometimes the servers bring you the wrong food, never bring your order, or sit down and join you instead.

But the point of this cafe is to be a place for dementia patients to feel needed and have purpose.

And this cafe is working. Japan has discovered that being socially connected actually slows down the progression of dementia.

So now there are 8,000 dementia cafes all over Japan!

The U.S. should be more like Japan. We should keep elders out of nursing homes, find ways to give them purpose, and part of society until their last days.

@TVNewsNow @DanaPerino @DanaPerino My prayers and love go out to you and your family. I lost my hero, my dad, in January. Happy because I know he is with Jesus. Devastated because I miss him so much and know you miss yours too. You are not alone.

@ShannonBream Now I’m gonna have to look at every one of your books in every airport I go into! I love it

[Viki C @VikiCHanke]

@ZiaErica Woah! What in the world?

[Viki C @VikiCHanke]

Oh Kat. I am so sorry. My dad died January 14. The worst day of my life. I am not better. My heart breaks for you because I know how awful this is. My description is that I feel “untethered” like someone had cut my strings. I don’t wish it on anyone. I will be thinking of you and praying for often because I know you share the same brand of grief. I am blessed to have had such a wonderful dad. But oh the hurt of losing him is unbearable. Hugs.

@joelpollak @MarcelaMarjean @ScottAdamsSays I’m just stunned. My condolences to the family.

It’s depressing. Time for me to leave the state. We VOTED for our non partisan commission not that long ago. The twisted “yes” ads throwing the word “fairness” around started months ago. The “no” ads only appeared in the last month. The RNC didn’t seem to care. The voters don’t seem to either.

[Viki C @VikiCHanke]

@KarenHamiltonVA This makes me want to throw up. Then move out of Virginia.

[Nick Minock @NickMinock]

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger sent media a press release titled, "Governor Spanberger Signs Bills Into Law Welcoming 3,250 New Jobs, $7.1 Billion in Business Investment to Virginia."

Each company listed in the press release announced their investment in Virginia when Glenn Youngkin was governor.

I dove deep into this heartwarming story of seven stolen dogs that escaped and walked 17km home - here are the key verified facts in concise points:

The Theft:
Seven dogs from the same village in Jilin Province, China were stolen from their owners. They were loaded onto a truck heading to an illegal dog meat shop.

The Escape:
During transport, the dogs jumped or fell from the moving vehicle onto the Changshuang Expressway. Instead of scattering, they stuck together as a tight pack.

The Epic Journey:
Over two days they covered around 17 km across highways and fields. A small corgi led from the front, constantly glancing back and adjusting pace to keep everyone together. Larger dogs formed a protective ring around an injured German Shepherd.

The Rescue:
Locals and rescuers tracked the group in real time via viral social media posts and drone footage until they safely intercepted the entire pack.

Happy Ending:
All seven dogs were reunited with their grateful owners in the same village after vet checks. Only minor injuries despite the fall, traffic, and long trek. These neighbourhood friends already played together daily, which helped them stay united.

This real-life “Homeward Bound” adventure led by one brave little corgi has gone mega-viral for showing incredible loyalty and teamwork.

Dogs really are the best.

Share to spread this wholesome win and celebrate these heroes! 🐕‍🦺❤️

Yes Guy. I am from Virginia and I’m furious. Rnc doesn’t seem to care. If this passes, I’m leaving the state but it will be destructive us nationally. The people voted for a “non partisan” panel to make these decisions and this is to suspend what we voted for until we will have no voice.

**Our Blood Buys Freedom—But a Steak or Lobster Is Too Expensive?**

While the pearl-clutching crowd loses their minds over Pentagon dropping millions on ribeye steaks and lobster tails for our troops—y'know, the actual warfighters heading into the fight—let's get real about value.

What's the true worth of a Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Guardian, or Marine who signs that blank check payable up to and including their last full measure of devotion?
Who deploys for months or years, misses birthdays, weddings, kids' first steps? Who stares down death so the rest of us sleep easy?

Apparently, in the eyes of the outrage machine, it's worth less than a well-done steak and some overcooked lobster. Less than a morale-boosting meal before another rotation into hell. Less than the quiet strength it takes to keep going when the world forgets you're out there.

But don't forget the families—the spouses raising kids alone, the parents who dread every knock at the door, the children who grow up with a parent-shaped hole because duty called. They've sacrificed too: endless worry, lonely holidays, the constant fear that "what if" becomes reality.

Yet here we are, with critics screaming about "frivolous" chow hall upgrades while those same heroes eat MREs in the dirt, bleed for freedom.

Priorities, people. If a steak and lobster tail is too rich for the ones who volunteer to die for us, then maybe the real outrage is how cheaply we've priced their sacrifice all along.

To every service member and military family: You are worth far more than any budget line item. Thank you doesn't cut it, but it's all we've got until the world wakes up.

@JoshuaLisec @GOP They want to suspend the bipartisan commission for 4 years that the Virginia people VOTED to have. Supposedly to have it return in 2030. SURE… that’s tells me they don’t expect to need it in 4 years.

This morning I said to my 3 year old that if he would just listen to me his life would be so much better.

Then I imagined God looking at me like this…

[Viki C @VikiCHanke]

@20th_Centurygal Just too much :(

I used to read Dilbert in the papers and remember when he was canceled. I followed him on Twitter after that. I loved periscope but never realized he was on. I caught some of his posts but didn’t realize he has a daily podcast. I even saw his diagnosis in May but didn’t really catch on. Sometime in December I started watching CWSA. I started “reading” the reframe your brain audiobook. By a month ago I was listening either live or by replay everyday. I kept asking myself why I didn’t get in on this years before. I started telling other people about “what Scott said” and they were wondering why this is suddenly a thing.

This last week I started realizing that This process with Scott may be preparing me for dealing with death. My dad has been feeling his age the last couple of years with Multiple Myeloma, an aortic aneurysm in a difficult place, some blockages that Drs didn’t think needed a stint yet, and just tired. He was always an active man. He was also a believer. He loved to study and teach the bible but lost all his material in a fire 5 years ago. But this man is my hero and always beloved in me when others didn’t. I could listen to his stories all dad. I recorded some and hope they turned out because I haven’t re-listened yet. I told him we should write his life story together.
Yesterday while morning Scott, I thought that I may have to deal with the loss of my dad soon and would appreciate the training. I said, but not today God. I can’t handle it today. I thought, It might be tomorrow. Immediately I said oh no not tomorrow either God… later.
My dad died today. I thanked God for Scott. Then I was a little numb. Then super happy for my dad because he was right then asking Jesus for all the answers to things like “will it be pre trib, mid trib, post trib, no trib?!”
My heart is broken and I dread not being able to call my dad about any old thing. But, I was more ready for it than I would have been a week ago. I know for a fact God brought CWSA into my life for this. Thanks Scott.
And Thank you sippers
