@dalerwills In Oklahoma, it’s a felony to abandon an animal. This makes me sick. Thank you for taking them in. ❤️

[Amy @AmyESmith]

@Excellentsalvic NO. Absolutely not

@theopposum1234 @MAGAVoice Picked a fight? You need to look up the testimony of Admiral Brad Cooper where he outlines Iran attacking American forces 300 times in 30 months before we attacked them. Over 200 American injured and four were killed. This doesn’t count the injustices against their own people.

This is Edward. He was given 6 months to live after being found as a stray. His family was determined to give him the best few months possible, so they introduced him to the ice cream truck. That was 27 months ago. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

"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.

@DavidIfe148086 @JoshHall2024 LOL! I can’t believe you would believe the bullshit about actors being in place of real people and prosecutions behind closed doors. 😂😂😂😂

@ausra90403 @Brookerteejones If it is a non-profit, that means his business is covering the cost. The taxpayers of Los Angeles wouldn’t be picking up the tab. He would have to do his own independent fundraising. That’s how non-profit businesses work.

@werepuppi @theBrianaMills Being old does not equal disability. Some people get old without experiencing disability. Some people experience disability before being old.

@Jajngn @SHOTOPOPPER237 @ronsterd89 I have a family picnic photo from about ‘74 where all the women had hair and clothing like this. This is early 70’s.

@Mr_Husky1 None of these are appropriate. They’re all too short, too sequined, and look like they are for a Christmas party or some other evening event. They’re too “sexy”and scream “I’m looking for attention”. The mother of the bride should be wearing something a little more elegant.

@OttisUncle @RobBlackburnIII @MichelleMaxwell I love them too! My friend has a beautiful blue one from her parent’s house. She remodeled her bedroom and put it in there and it is so pretty!

[Amy @AmyESmith]

@BHattie @MichelleMaxwell Hah! My aunt had one of these hanging in her formal living room.

@Mr_Husky1 2/2 What nobody knew and I wouldn’t know until 42 years later is I had undiagnosed ADHD. So there were always certain things that have always been a struggle for me.

[Amy @AmyESmith]

@Mr_Husky1 I’m not a mom, but when I was 7, my mom made me clean my room myself. If I refused to clean up after myself, she would give me a deadline and tell me if I didn’t have it cleaned by then, she would throw everything on the floor away. It took a long time for me to get it. 1/2
