I Paid off my mortgage last month. Thirty years.

Bank sent the deed over, congratulations, it's yours free and clear.

Two weeks later the county tax bill shows up. $9,400. And that's not a one time thing, that's every year until I die.

Stop paying it and eventually they take the house. The one I just spent three decades buying.

So what actually changed here?

For thirty years I paid a bank so I could live in my own house. Now I pay the county so I can live in my own house.

Different envelope. Same arrangement.

Nobody ever finishes paying for a home. You just run out of banks.

@Elevation_Pics Someone has to be pretty sick to make something like this. Leave the Children alone.

@ChelfcAbby Convenient timing for sure

@MZora0419 Ok you’ve convinced me. I’m going running tomorrow!!!!!

Po 20 latach małżeństwa muszę w końcu powiedzieć to głośno...

Z moją żoną nie łączy mnie już nic.

Poznaliśmy się na egzaminie na filozofię ponad 20 lat temu. Byliśmy młodzi i głupi, nie słuchając rozsądnych opinii szybko wzięliśmy ślub.

A potem życie zrobiło swoje i dziś żyjemy w dwóch różnych światach.

Ona: dzieci, szkoła, dydaktyka, nauka, góry, natura, koty, dramaty.
Ja: firmy, fundusze, inwestycje, biznes, miasto, beton, psy, komedie.

Ona: kreatywna, empatyczna, marzycielska.
Ja: analityczny, rzeczowy, osadzony w faktach.

Zero wspólnych pasji.
Zero wspólnych zainteresowań.
Nie śmieszą nas te same rolki na Instagramie.

Każdy terapeuta ze śniadaniowej telewizji wystawiłby naszemu małżeństwu akt zgonu. Znajomi pewnie się zastanawiają, kiedy ogłoszę rozwód.

No to ogłaszam...

Kocham tę kobietę bardziej niż 20 lat temu!

I kiedy wieczorem opowiada mi o rzeczach, które kompletnie mnie nie interesują, słucham jej z przyjemnością, której nie tłumaczy żaden poradnik.

Bo przez te 20 lat zrozumiałem coś, co przeczy wszystkiemu, co wciskają nam media.

Wspólne pasje to nie budulec związku. To dekoracja. Ludzie po latach idą różnymi drogami, w różnym tempie i to nie jest awaria. Tak wygląda życie.

Prawdziwy budulec jest inny. Chcesz dla drugiej osoby lepiej niż dla siebie. Jej potrzeby stawiasz nad swoje. Wolisz dawać, niż brać. Jeśli tego nie ma, nie uratują was nawet identyczne playlisty.

Więc jeśli twoja druga połówka to twoje przeciwieństwo, przestań to naprawiać. Może właśnie tam mieszka wasz sekret.

Nie musicie kochać tych samych rzeczy.
Wystarczą te same wartości, ten sam kierunek, szacunek do różnic i troska o drugą połowę większa niż o siebie.

I na koniec coś, co zrozumiałem dopiero niedawno...

Przez 20 lat moja żona każdego dnia miała powody, żeby wybrać inaczej. Innego człowieka, inne życie, inny świat; bliższy jej gór niż mojego betonu.
Mimo to każdego dnia wybierała to samo... mnie.

Miłość to nie jest coś, co się czuje. To coś, co się codziennie wybiera.
Od 21 lat jestem czyimś wyborem i jestem z tego naprawdę dumny...

Whipped up a batch of emergency brownies to put in homemade ice cream 🤤 Bye bye store bought !

"A guy looked at my airplane the other day and said I wonder how many people I could have fed for the price of that airplane...

I replied I am not sure, it fed a lot of families at the Dassault factory where it was built. I’m sure it fed a bunch of families that rolled the aluminum at the Alcoa factory. It surely fed a lot of people at the Honeywell factory where the experts built the turbines. It fed a whole company for a few weeks when I had them build me a new interior. It feeds the families of the linemen that fuel it.

That’s the difference between capitalism and a welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets, and give them dignity for their skills.

When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth.

Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value.

Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you never asked for."

Eat a mouthful of grass and you get nothing. It goes in green and comes out green.

Eat straw and you get nothing. Your gut cannot touch cellulose.

Eat acorns and you get tannins, and a very bad afternoon.

Eat bracken and you get a carcinogen.

Eat nettles, thistles, brambles, rushes and moorland heather and you get a mouth full of blood and no calories.

Eat the beet pulp, the oat husks and the spent brewer's grain and you get the waste the factory couldn't sell.

Now feed the lot of it to a cow.

She turns every one of them into steak, butter, cream, milk and a hide, on land that will never grow a vegetable, using four stomachs and a fermentation vat you do not have.

The grass she eats grew on rain and sunlight, for free, on a hillside nobody can plough.

She is the only creature on earth that can take a field of inedible fibre and hand you back the most nutrient-dense food there is.

The cow is not competing with you for food. She eats the ninety percent you cannot.

Best plant-based diet ever invented. It just has a cow in the middle doing the hard part.

Does anyone else?

[Valerie ♡’s Cesare @_delightfulcat_]

Anyone else notice the complete lack of parenting etiquette in the last decade or so? No one takes their crying babies out of theaters anymore. No one tells their screaming misbehaved kids to stfu in restaurants or otherwise public spaces that require manners. Wtf happened

[✰. @swagoszn_]

Food trucks were supposed to be the budget option. Now they cost the same as sit-down restaurants. Eating on a sidewalk shouldn’t cost restaurant prices.

@RCEY28 Mustang by chance?

That would be me!

[Dei Jay @RoseetLilli]

@KrisztinaMaria And it took a massive company like Dyson to fight back. Would of never happened if it was ordinary citizens.

[Dei Jay @RoseetLilli]

@fiqueiparanoia Subconsciously I think she already is planning, hence the mask.

[Dei Jay @RoseetLilli]

So true.

@groyperlover100 @benwehrman these vitamins in pill form?

[Dei Jay @RoseetLilli]

@WallStreetApes Finish power ball all in ones are the exact same. All my plastics and wood are literally ruined and cannot be used. Chemical smell penetrates food after putting into containers. Even when it’s just a plastic lid and glass bowl. It’s DISGUSTING!

[Dei Jay @RoseetLilli]

@beyoncegarden What a waste of money and time.

[Dei Jay @RoseetLilli]

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say this.

For years, Sunday nights meant Top Gear. We’d sit down at 8pm and watch Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May do what they did best.

Now, through Clarkson’s Farm, Jeremy has introduced a whole new generation to the realities of British farming and earned the respect of millions all over again.

He’s made us laugh, he’s frustrated us, and he’s entertained us for decades.

Get well soon, Jezza.

The country is rooting for you. ❤️🇬🇧🙏
