@EJGaines I agree w/ all of it except I can’t make that switch to decaf. 😂

Wise words

[Scott Sauls @scottsauls]

Almost everyone you meet is insecure, overwhelmed, and under-encouraged.

Resist telling people how disappointed you are in them. Everyone already knows they fall short.

Instead, show compassion. Be curious and kind. People are starved for this.

We caved & turned the furnace on because it dipped to 35 degrees. Why does this feel like a fail? #lifeinthemidwest

Beauty from the weekend in WI

[Susan Van Ryn @suzvanryn]

@racheljwelcher For real. I have two, & they still amaze me on the regular at the sheer volume of food they consume.

I killed a gigantic spider in our basement this morning, & now I’m uncertain if I’ll ever be able to watch a movie or game in its darkened space again.

I know my husband truly loves me when I find a 6-pack of sweet tea hidden in the fridge where our teenager won’t find it, but I will. #howtokeepyourwifehappy

@HeatherTDay And I keep deleting the same ad in my feed. It appears multiple times in a few minutes of scrolling. How do you not fix that??

[Susan Van Ryn @suzvanryn]

Why must EVERYTHING have an app now? My phone is full. I’m serious. I will happily listen if some kind person will please explain.

@HeatherTDay @Steffl3r My “for you” tab is not for me either!

Heat wave psa: close the curtains of the rooms where the sun shines in on hot days. It sounds so basic but helps more than I expected, decreasing room temps. #summer

[Susan Van Ryn @suzvanryn]

@EJGaines I feel this. No two days are the same.

@scottsauls My father suffered with dementia before his death, so I find all the jokes regarding the disease very disturbing.

The only thing the debate really did for me is to confirm that neither of those two deserves my vote. #PresidentialDebate2024

I took this photo because of the raindrops but am loving the bonus you can see if you look closely. #camouflage

Yesterday the cicada brood was thick in our driveway, so I asked my older son to go out the door first to pave the way for me, to be a shield as we walked to the car. He did, and sure enough, a cicada slammed into his head. He’s my hero!

[Susan Van Ryn @suzvanryn]

@EJGaines Too many possibilities is the worst wordle situation, imo.

My teenager paid $4.25 for one hot dog at school today. Isn’t that ridiculous? It seems so selfish for a school district to be making that much money off of their students’ need to eat.

[Susan Van Ryn @suzvanryn]

Chicagoland media keep telling us the cicadas are here (they’re not) & they won’t hurt you (it’s true), but I still don’t like them. I practiced screaming when a large carpenter bee buzzed my head just now. To my neighbors: apologizing in advance for all the screams you will hear

[Susan Van Ryn @suzvanryn]

@drewholcomb 100 agree. I have done this numerous times & people often say they didn’t remember my name either. I’ve never had a person act mad that I’d forgotten his/her name.
