@DETTigerTruther @tigers I’ll tell you what tho, could see that sweep by Clev coming from a mile away. This lineup is hot garbage. Harris is to blame!

[Ramathorn @ramsburgh]

@NathanGraviteh Only to lose in the frozen four semi’s…fun times

[Ramathorn @ramsburgh]

@DETTigerTruther @tigers Wait, what happened to Reece?

[Ramathorn @ramsburgh]

@rocker_jdb @miloandbono Mortimer and Randolph Duke found out the hard way!

[Ramathorn @ramsburgh]

@JimCosta_ Jim, he’s gotten plenty of picks and signings wrong too. I understand your point but it’s not a straight line.

[Ramathorn @ramsburgh]

@rocker_jdb JB, they all voted for it….sad, but they were told it was raining and they had just been getting pissed on by the republicans for decades.

[Ramathorn @ramsburgh]

@rocker_jdb Well @CathieDWood has turned out to be a terrible investor and a total idiot…so easy answer, no! As you and I both now know, it doesn’t take smarts to get into positions of extreme power. You can fail all the way into a presidency. She can’t see a train of pain barreling at us

[Ramathorn @ramsburgh]

@Dayadog @jeffhunt Man, he walked right into that one!

[Ramathorn @ramsburgh]

@kylekazanceo @realDonaldTrump @AliceMarieFree @weldon_angelos Kyle, it will cost them money….thats clearly what has been happening with all of the pardons that have been happening. He doesn’t care.

@pross1959 @danwiederer Not bitter, welcome back to relevancy. The North will be a tough ass division for years to come. Swift is what he is though. Not as tough as you’d like, you’ll see.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

"My name's Raymond. I'm 73. I work the parking lot at St. Joseph's Hospital. Minimum wage, orange vest, a whistle I barely use. Most people don't even look at me. I'm just the old man waving cars into spaces.
But I see everything.

Like the black sedan that circled the lot every morning at 6 a.m. for three weeks. Young man driving, grandmother in the passenger seat. Chemotherapy, I figured. He'd drop her at the entrance, then spend 20 minutes hunting for parking, missing her appointments.

One morning, I stopped him. "What time tomorrow?"
"6:15," he said, confused.
"Space A-7 will be empty. I'll save it."
He blinked. "You... you can do that?"
"I can now," I said.

Next morning, I stood in A-7, holding my ground as cars circled angrily. When his sedan pulled up, I moved. He rolled down his window, speechless. "Why?"
"Because she needs you in there with her," I said. "Not out here stressing."
He cried. Right there in the parking lot.

Word spread quietly. A father with a sick baby asked if I could help. A woman visiting her dying husband. I started arriving at 5 a.m., notebook in hand, tracking who needed what. Saved spots became sacred. People stopped honking. They waited. Because they knew someone else was fighting something bigger than traffic.
But here's what changed everything, A businessman in a Mercedes screamed at me one morning. "I'm not sick! I need that spot for a meeting!"

"Then walk," I said calmly. "That space is for someone whose hands are shaking too hard to grip a steering wheel."

He sped off, furious. But a woman behind him got out of her car and hugged me. "My son has leukemia," she sobbed. "Thank you for seeing us."

The hospital tried to stop me. "Liability issues," they said. But then families started writing letters. Dozens. "Raymond made the worst days bearable." "He gave us one less thing to break over."

Last month, they made it official. "Reserved Parking for Families in Crisis." Ten spots, marked with blue signs. And they asked me to manage it.

But the best part? A man I'd helped two years ago, his mother survived, came back. He's a carpenter. Built a small wooden box, mounted it by the reserved spaces. Inside? Prayer cards, tissues, breath mints, and a note,

"Take what you need. You're not alone. -Raymond & Friends"
People leave things now. Granola bars. Phone chargers. Yesterday, someone left a hand-knitted blanket.
I'm 73. I direct traffic in a hospital parking lot. But I've learned this: Healing doesn't just happen in operating rooms. Sometimes it starts in a parking space. When someone says, "I see your crisis. Let me carry this one small piece."

So pay attention. At the grocery checkout, the coffee line, wherever you are. Someone's drowning in the little things while fighting the big ones.

Hold a door. Save a spot. Carry the weight no one else sees.
It's not glamorous. But it's everything."

Let this story reach more hearts....

[Ramathorn @ramsburgh]

@NUCLRGOLF Not suck!?!?

[Ramathorn @ramsburgh]

@TigersJUK You’re an idiot—it’s easier if you convince yourself they’ll lose 5 straight starting tonight.

[Ramathorn @ramsburgh]

@RyderCupUSA This team sucks! Fire the captain already! What a joke

[Ramathorn @ramsburgh]

@EvanPetzold Yea that’s probably the spark we need! lol! They should just bring up the Toledo team and see if that results in a win. #firescottharris

[Ramathorn @ramsburgh]

@EvanPetzold He fucking sucks! But the #1 prospect is sitting there wondering if he can demand a trade from this black hole of an org!! GM too weak to make a move to improve the team! Trade deadline netted one worthwhile player! Garbage!!!

[Ramathorn @ramsburgh]

@TigersJUK Just wait until u get ur heart ripped out in a week!
