FML831 is a blog about nothing and everything. It's like a written stream of consciousness. Follow me and step inside my head

[Rodney Smith Jr @iamrodneysmith]

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.

More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸

@lkeels @DanFriedman81 Damn! That's good to know!! That lady was HOSTILE!! All I could think was how she didn't seem to realize it wasn't coming out of her paycheck!! 😂

[Me @fml831]

@lkeels @DanFriedman81 I tried at a Dollar General. Had a bunch of penny stuff. Cashier called the manager, the mgr said no way- refused to sell me any of it. I wasn't going to cause a scene for a bunch of summer cups, and that manager acted like it was her money I was trying to steal or something

[Me @fml831]

@TheSteelersWire Well that cleared it up 😭

[Me @fml831]

@joeybagovdonuts It's A. I don't know why, it just happens. Wet the brush, toothpaste, wet the brush. Brush for at least 30 seconds per quarter, then rinse toothbrush, then brush again, then rinse toothbrush, then rinse mouth 🤷🏻‍♀️

@KDKA Was this sick f**k related to the child? If not, how did he gain access to the house to plant the cameras? If so, was the child's mom or primary caregiver completely unaware of all the cameras?

[Me @fml831]

@Sorenthaz @reddit_lies He has a twin sister. I'm sure they played together. He probably wanted to be "just like her," and instead of saying "No, you're a boy, but you can always play with your sister," that mom decided it was just cooler and easier to have 2 "girls" ...

[Me @fml831]

@bgovern @reddit_lies I hope you let him sleep in the garage!

@GovernorShapiro 250 whole jobs?! 😖 Are you aware of the size of these data centers?! "Minimize air pollution and water consumption"? Sounds great, just like paying for their own power consumption- until the PUC is at your door asking for rate increases again and again

[Me @fml831]

@ishygddt72 @Westerly110 @NiedsG They paid into it their entire working lives too. Do you think you're the first generation to pay SS or Medicare?! Everyone who has legally worked in US has paid into SS since 1937 and Medicare since 1966. Bush wanted to privatize SS and that was smacked down

[Me @fml831]

@travelersusie @NiedsG There it is!! If a house is bought 30 years ago at 75K, and the owners are still living there, their taxes should NOT be based on what their neighbor's house sold for yesterday!! Market value should ONLY apply when the house is being refinanced or bought/ sold

[Me @fml831]

@NiedsG Houses were affordable until Covid. Idk what happened then to cause the market to go nuts, but it did. My son bought a starter house for 60K (closed on it the day before lockdowns) and it's now worth over 100K (COL is lower here). Blaming seniors is unfair.

[Me @fml831]

@slrskuld @JulietRedbird @KATUNews That would make Covid look like a short bout of seasonal allergies 🤷🏻‍♀️ Suicidal empathy is wild. Rodents are dangerous and can't be allowed to proliferate, and left unchecked, they will. They KNOW that but rather than label rats "less than," they'd let them bring the Black ☠️

[Me @fml831]

@Shannon33867341 @UnsureKris @87shenanigans Perhaps MAID for anyone over the age of 70? That will solve overpopulation, social security funding, and the housing "crisis"

[Me @fml831]

@TXN1968 @UnsureKris @87shenanigans According to one person, seniors should just go live in trailer parks 😂

@CrazyVibes_1 I was allowed to walk to school alone when I was in kindergarten! Can you imagine seeing a 5 year old walking up the street alone today? Somebody would call the police, CPS, something!

[Me @fml831]

@lordofthemarsh @CrazyVibes_1 I've slowly released some secrets as time has passed. I figure I'm too old for them to ground me now (I think 😂). They weren't too thrilled to hear my friend and I stole their minivan and went joyriding one night before either of us had a license though

[Me @fml831]

@davenewman @CrazyVibes_1 We did snort NoDoz in high school... Not the best idea
