Proving My Point
I had something in mind that I wanted to discuss today and this question sort of relates to it. I’m going to change the second part of the question to make it fit. My question is: What’s a moment when a stranger completely proved your point? The stranger I’m thinking of is a cashier at… →

Spilling the Tea
I’m going to take the easy, not philosophical answer to this question today and say that I hope future Sarah sends me the winning Powerball numbers the next time the jackpot gets big enough to make the news. I want enough money for Josh to be able to retire early and for us to move… →

Don’t Get Me Started
If someone posted this question on Threads, the comments would be unkind and someone would ask the OP if this is rage bait. There are many opinions out there about what schools do and do not teach. Some groups of people insist that teachers are indoctrinating kids with LGBTQ+ ideology. Some people want to make… →

On Nugget’s Terms
Oh how I became giddy when I read this prompt today! Any pet parent is going to be happy to share a hundred pictures with you and talk to you at length about their pet. I’m sure I actually do have a hundred pictures, but I can’t narrow them down to just one. I have… →

Simple Advice is the Best
I’m sure I’ve received lots of advice over my lifetime. It’s hard to think of all that I’ve received and what the best was out of that, so I think I’ll go with the most recent. Well, recent as of about five months ago. I was desperately searching for a new job. I had put… →

I Just Don’t Care
Lately I’ve been fond of starting responses with, “Oh honey…” That phrase infers a sympathetic tone and something obvious and sarcastic to come afterwards. Its equivalent is, “Bless your heart.” When we say that in the south, we don’t really mean we want your heart to be blessed. We’re not being nice at all when… →

We’ve Got Jokes
I wasn’t feeling well today. Not physically, just a little down day mentally. Very random, very strange. But I listened to James Taylor’s Greatest Hits album while I worked this afternoon. That is my comfort album. Something about his voice is very soothing. My mood instantly perked up at the end of a meeting that… →

Believe It or Not
Excuse my language, but my answer to this question is: abso-fuckin-lutely. And I say that with my whole chest. In fact, this may be another hill that I’m willing to die on. Now, what is the cause of things happening, that is debateable. For a good long time, I believed that what happened in my… →

My Journey
What’s a song lyric that has stuck with you forever? Since the question is, “stuck with you forever”, I can’t respond with a Taylor Swift line, too recent. By the way, that line would be “So casually cruel in the name of being honest”. And it can’t be a Katy Perry line, that was only… →

Blue Freedom Flowers
I am a spender of money. I come by it honest. Growing up I learned from my mom how to go shopping and buy new things and then sneak the bags into the house before my dad could see and ask questions. That mentality has been in stark contrast to how Josh grew up when… →
