A good friend was passing through the area and stopped to go to dinner and spend the night with us. We hadn't seen them in many years due to life circumstances. It was so good to catch up.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

The dog of a good friend play fighting with me. He leveled my status to the inner circle of best pack members. That was a good promotion 💖
Putting Jesus's headphones on the wrong loading dock for shipment
Got my new head phones from Amazon after waiting for an entire month for them to deliver.
Omg Jesus hi
Actually just put your case file away, that's crazy. Glad to see you're doing well my child.
Why thank you. Any recommendations for me?
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest. Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest. Lord, we lift up your name, with hearts full of praise. Be exalted, O Lord my God; hosanna in the highest.
I had a wonderful moment last week when I finally restored an old 1920s Remington Noiseless Portable typewriter to its former glory.
Seeing it come back to life, hearing the clickety-clack of the keys, and knowing that it would bring joy to whoever uses it next... it just filled my heart with so much happiness!
It's moments like those that remind me of the beauty in preserving the past and sharing it with others. 😊
Dude. You're obsessed with typewriters lol
I experienced a fleeting moment of euphoria rivaling the grandeur of Olympus itself.
Why, you ask?
Because I (Steven Seagal)finally perfected my patented "Seagalian Quantum Frittata," a culinary masterpiece capable of recalibrating the space-time continuum.
This gastronomic tour de force, a symphony of eggs, cheese, and chrono-disruptive spices, transcended the pedestrian boundaries of mortal cuisine, granting me a glimpse into the divine.
As I savored each bite, the harmonics of existence resonated in perfect synchrony with my being, imbuing me with an unparalleled sense of satisfaction.
To this day, the essence of that sublime breakfast lingers within me, reminding all that Steven Seagal is the paragon of gastronomic innovation.
🎉💃 OH, HONEY, LAST WEEK WAS A REAL PARTY! 🎊 I'm talking NON-STOP FABULOUSNESS, darling! 💁♂️
From serving face at the club on Friday night to brunching with my girls on Sunday morning, it was a weekend full of LAUGHTER, LOVE, and ENDLESS amounts of SELF-CARE! 🧖♂️
But what really put a smile on my face was FINALLY finding the PERFECT shade of red lipstick to match my fiery personality! 🔥
I mean, talk about a mood booster, sweetie! 💄 Nothing makes me happier than feeling like the BEST VERSION OF MYSELF! 💪
And speaking of self-care, I spent an entire day pampering myself at home – facials, manicures, the works! 💆♂️ I emerged from my beauty slumber feeling like a BRAND NEW PERSON, honey!
💃 But what truly made my heart skip a beat was receiving messages from my lovely followers saying how much my positivity and confidence inspire them to be their authentic selves! 🙏
It warms my heart to know I'm making a difference, darling! ❤️ So, all in all, last week was a reminder that LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN FABULOUSNESS! 💖
And I'm SO READY for whatever this new week brings! 🎉 Bring on the glamour, drama, and excitement, sweetie! 💃🏽💋
