Our book was delivered today to over 400 homes. With this weather in the United States we are unbelievably grateful. Over 3,000 copies were sold on the first day on Valentine's Day. And England and Canada are putting us over the top. Thank you ❤️ forever #booksky #author #book

12 hours later we received our first ranking and we could not be more thrilled. We debuted at number 5 in the top 100 best new sellers. We are grateful to everyone and what we want more than anything is for everybody to have a fantastic laugh. Just laugh your ass off!

Available on the big A. Our follow-up to our first co-authored book as we are overjoyed with requests for more stories. All true. All outrageous. The dedication page alone will stop you in your tracks. Trust me. Happy Valentine's. Russell and I hope you enjoy. All royalties go to my mental health. 😂

1,459 days to go and then we'll be okay.

Released from hospital. These walls are behind me and will remain there. Not me. It's ironic. You're there to save your ass but they practice masochism with their dietary amusings and the nightgowns would frighten Vogue editorials. Cancer won't kill me..however the bills???....hello death!🫣 #cansky

Okay I'm going to say it. This place is no better than Twitter. There is April 4th of vile and contempt about the Republicans. I keep seeing the f-bomb about Trump and musk. What Joy is there in that? We already know who and what they are. Why continue to lament???

I have cancer. I am equated with being courageous. I was given this medal the very exact moment I was given the diagnosis. I'm courageous. Really? Is it automatic? Truthfully the only thing I was given at the moment of my diagnosis was a bill. The tumor made a fortune for the doc but bankrupted me.

To this day I would say the most pissed off I have ever been was over 20 years ago when my nephew said to me, "Uncle Robert when you were in school did they have history class?"

I'm a cancer patient and I'm not doing well. They stopped my treatment so I started a go fund me for surgery I have next month and it's interesting that within minutes I had three people directing me to another site. Never happened on Twitter. Thus I removed the post. The sky is not always Bluer!

Russell and I thought we would have a small audience for our book because it was written for people who said they wanted more stories and these are followers with whom we engage, perhaps 50 regularly. We thought we'd be lucky to sell 80 let alone over 500. We cannot be more appreciative. Thank you.

I still laugh every time I think of that woman in that video that has gone viral that was given a ticket for illegal parking that told the cop the sign literally says fine for parking. I guess these signs need clarification now. Or we could go back and have education in America with expectations.

You will see no one today who is without hurt. Without struggle. Without consequence. Without solutions seeking. You are not alone. They are not alone. We're in this together. Be kind. Don't add to the struggle. This includes being kind to yourself. ❤️

I am 67 years old and had no idea Humpty is the expectant commander in chief. I hope that as Donald sits high on his wall of esteem saturated in delusional ego that he falls and is a bloody mess which the cabinet, congress, representatives, and supreme justices can not put him back together again!

Today each of the 4 books I published in 2024 are available for the lowest cost amazon allows. $7.95 each. I hope this helps those who shared with me their financial constraints. Terminating Terminal Terminology is my proudest achievement ever. Thank you for considering. #booksky #cansky

All this weekend for sale on the big A for $7.95 to help those who expressed tight budgets but hoping to get it for Christmas. If this helps cost wise please take the opportunity. It's back to NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS Monday. Lol. The word has been terrific with lots of laughs. Grateful. a.co/d/2pV9emG

You know how when you look at a YouTube video like how to get graham crackers out of your carpeting and they show you an advertisement that you can skip in 4 seconds? Has anybody ever not skipped??? Things like this keep me awake!

BREAKING NEWS!!! There is weather outside. That's it. That's all. Just as important as every other post that is breaking news. Lmfao

Depressed? Feeling down? The best way to snap out of this is to do something for somebody else. It'll make you feel great knowing you have contributed to somebody's happiness. May I tell you what I'd like for Christmas?

#books #booksky So grateful. Word of mouth is wonderful.

Woman in front of me to pay at the boutique shop Family Dollar told someone on her phone to kiss her ass and go to hell. Then she told the cashier Merry Christmas. That's the spirit!

TODAY Clueless: What kind bro? Me: Brain Clueless: Dude that's bad. This’ll probably be your last Christmas. Right? Me: Let me tell you about cancer. We don't give a shit about consequences. You say one more word to me, you'll be in the ER and I'm going to be posting bail! #cansky

When you read part of your life story written by your friend? OMG!

They can tell me the temperature but don't you dare tell me how I feel. I hate how somebody tells me how I feel. What is the temperature where you guys are at?

#booksky 38 years of friendship and going for 38 more. Antics and improbable circumstances yielding to laughter at the absurdity of it all. Enjoy a great holiday read.
