This may be NJ niche but Quick Check is the Diet Pepsi of service stations

ā€œPeople, not podcastsā€ is becoming a mantra of mine in 2025. This evening I called up a friend on the telephone and for 90 minutes we caught up on everything.

Iā€™ll never forget this holy moment* *when my teenage son made this in his photoshop class.

I got an email from Apple saying my subscription to the eCP (electronic common prayer) app was about to renew, so I cancelled it. Sometimes it just didnā€™t work and it still hasnā€™t been updated to reflect the 2024 revision of Lesser Feasts and Fasts. Shame.

Just read the comments on the presiding bishopā€™s announcement about the layoffs at 815.

Itā€™s the 3rd anniversary of the death at 62 of visionary and humanitarian Dr. Paul Farmer. His phrase ā€œthe long defeatā€ was in reference to his lifesaving efforts in Haiti, but these words also speak to our moment.

Man, ā€œThe Pittā€is rough. šŸ˜­

The youngest is upstairs in the shower blasting Fleetwood Mac (ā€¼ļø) at top volume and Iā€™m just sitting downstairs proud as punch. Sniff, I taught her well.

Soon there will be a new para-military national police force, possibly with armbands.

Iā€™m not cool but I can dance and sing Pink Pony Club with my 14-yo daughter and thatā€™s cool enough for me. šŸ„°

I am tired of winter. And Iā€™m undone by the collapse of relations between my homeland and my adopted homeland. I know why winter happens, but I donā€™t know why this aggression is happening. ā¤ļøšŸ¤ā¤ļøšŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦

European Hospitals and Whatā€™s Happening When You Hear About Them: Romeā€™s Gemelli: The Pope is sick* ā€œThe Lindo Wing:ā€ New royal baby! Parisā€™ PitiĆ© SalpĆŖtriĆØre: Warlord of former French colony has cancer and can afford to get care not available to his countrymen *Get well soon, Pope Francis!
