My friend was struggling with infertility and a lady from her church said "if you had a better relationship with God you would be able to get pregnant."
I saw that lady at the coffee shop a few days later and I asked if she was supposed to be drinking espresso at her age. She said "I'm only 55.. I'm old but I'm not THAT old" and I said "Oh! Yikes! Maybe if you had a better relationship with God you wouldn't look 90."
I knew she didn't know who I was and I hope she still thinks about it.
not a single person has wondered whether dolly's life had any meaning because she didn't have any kids. it's almost like your legacy is about what YOU do with your time here; not how many people you can make.
I just heard someone in this coffee shop talking to their friend, “these folks are using their food stamps to buy junk food”. I said “excuse me for being nosey, but billionaires are using their money to būy kıds.”
My latte tastes better now
Dolly Parton was laid to rest with a small, private service today in Nashville. We continue to send our condolences to her family, friends, and fans around the world. 🙏🏻
Jennifer Welch: “We’ve got people dropping dead of measles, we’re buying contaminated beef from Argentina, we have killer blueberries. They’re killing off wild horses and they’re tearing up our national parks. These people are destroyers of life. They are not a pro-life party. MAGA is a pro-pedophilia, anti-family death cult”
John Morales, a meteorologist and hurricane specialist with NBC6 in South Florida, was reporting on an upcoming storm when he suddenly shifted gears, right in the middle of the broadcast.
Morales explains that in his 34 years of presenting the weather, he’s always been able to confidently tell his viewers when a hurricane might hit, or when it might turn away. He’s always been able to stand behind his data, modeling, and forecast in order to help protect the people of South Florida.
“I am here to tell you that I am not sure I can do that this year.”
Why? “Because of the cuts, the gutting, the sledgehammer attack on science in general.”
Morales then pulled up a graphic instead of his usual weather map. It laid out some stark realities about severe understaffing of the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Between brutal layoffs, employees accepting the recent DOGE buyout, and straight-up resignations, the agencies responsible for collecting weather data have lost hundreds and hundreds of valuable experts.
He also explained that due to federal government budget cuts, there’s been a sizable decrease in weather balloon launches across the country. Weather balloons are instruments that take crucial measurements of the upper atmosphere and send data that helps with forecasting. With less data available and lower-quality data, Morales says that “the quality of forecasts is becoming degraded.”
They are lowering US flags to half-mast for a week, but if the government really wants to pay tribute to Dolly, they should fund education, the arts, and medical research instead of trying to eradicate them.
🚨 FAMILY WIPED OUT: At least 8 people killed in a Billings murder-suicide, including a 12-year-old and a 15-year-old. Police called it a “family disturbance.”
That word is the problem.
Family members say LANDON GHEKIERE, 15, and CHARLOTTE GHEKIERE, 12, were killed with other relatives inside. Police have confirmed multiple adults and multiple children are dead.
The suspect was found in the backyard with what police say was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He later died.
They used a soft word for a whole family getting wiped out behind a locked door.
If police can call 8 dead people a “family disturbance,” the word is doing the covering-up.
Dolly Parton sits down with her parents and five sisters for a Christmas special and the real show starts the second the banter begins.
She cracks jokes, teases the whole clan and within minutes the living room energy takes over pure Appalachian wit, overlapping stories and that unmistakable Parton laugh.
Then the sisters lock into perfect family harmony and the room just lifts
No polished celebrity gloss, just blood, history, and voices that only come from growing up under the same roof.
This is still one of the warmest, most rewatched family moments she ever put on television for a reason.
She and Chadwick Boseman might've been the only two celebrities, at least recently, I can think of whose deaths were announced by their loved ones and NOT TMZ.
