Amen!
If you only help people when they can do something for you, you’re not a very good person. 😌

Like this boy, my grandparents offered to raise me after hearing that my young Mom was pregnant at 19. Fortunately, my parents did marry & raised me along with my siblings but not everyone has such a positive story to tell. God bless grandparents who step up.

The "Man Mountain" at the beginning of this Breaking Bad scene is Dave Mattey who is 6'10". I went to high school with Dave back in Rochester, New York during the mid-80s and am friends with his brother Don to this day. Dave was shy and always friendly back in those days. Our high school head basketball coach tried hard to make Dave into a player but his knees wouldn't cooperate.
this episode was genuinely such a good watch

My first MLB game: Milwaukee Brewers at Oakland Athletics on August 19th, 1982 featured 4 future Hall of Famers - Rickey Henderson, Paul Molitor, Robin Yount & Ted Simmons. Attended it with my Dad & brothers Brad Upham (@Uplanders1986) & Jimmy Visconti. #MLBTwitter #brewers #athletics

I was a little light on the offense projections for both teams - but the projected game result remains - Bills are 2-0.

One of a few great heroes from 9/11. #NeverForget
🚨 TODD BEAMER, UNITED 93 PHONE CALL: "LET'S ROLL" 🇺🇸 Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked. Lisa: I understand. Can they see you? Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake. Lisa: Your name? Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93. Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor. Lisa: Are you okay? Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again. Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true? Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan. Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call. Lisa: I promise. Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy. Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.) Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol. Todd: I understand. I’ll be back. Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot. Lisa: What are you going to do? Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out. Todd: Would you pray with me? [They pray the Lord’s Prayer.] Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. Todd: God help me. Jesus help me. Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll. SOURCE: @SterlingMSnow

The 2023 MLB Pitch clock has caused more serious pitcher arm injuries. All to placate the limited attention spans of younger fans. Not worth it. MLB pitcher elbow/forearm injuries increased 15.7% after implementation of the pitch clock, from an average of 108 per season in 2021–22 to 125 per season in 2023–24.

Thank God for a miracle!
For the last 9-months, my wife, Brooklyn has been pregnant with a very sick baby boy. Three or four months ago, we learned that the baby had severe hydrocephalus. Back in the old days, hydrocephalus was called, 'water on the brain' - too much brain fluid. Ultimately, we were referred to Cincinnati Children's Hospital, where we were told by several of the most highly regarded fetal specialists in the country that his condition was dire. The baby's condition was 'off the charts bad'. It was so extreme that the specialists stopped measuring and monitoring his fluid level because, at that point, it didn't really matter. The MRI's were sickening to look at. We were told, pointblank, that there was over a 90% chance that the baby would either die shortly after birth or have such severe cognitive impairments that any quality of life would be hard to imagine. We had a meeting with palliative care regarding the use of life sustaining measures and had detailed, awful, and emotional discussions about the ethics of when we might need to remove or cease such measures - which would result in the baby 'passing away peacefully'. Brooklyn relocated to Cincinnati and lived in a hotel close to the hospital - in case she went into labor. I commuted back and forth. On July 8th, Brooklyn did indeed go into labor. Literally, 15 minutes before they wheeled her back to start the C-section, we had another meeting with doctors regarding the use of a breathing tube and at what point we might need to remove that tube and let the baby go to Heaven. Guess what? The baby came out crying - which was the sweetest sound I ever heard. In a nutshell, Charlie Schnarr stayed in infant intensive care until yesterday - when we all came home. He seems to be a normal, beautiful baby doing all the things that babies do. He has mild ventricular enlargement, but we can deal with that with checkups. How did this happen?! The doctors said, 'We do not have and cannot come up with a medical explanation for what we've witnessed here'. Somehow his brain found a way to naturally clear the blockage or re-route the fluid that was causing the oppressive back up of brain fluid. During the last week, I heard the words, 'divine intervention' and 'miracle' more times than I could count. Nurses with decades of experience and esteemed, nationally admired doctors were flabbergasted but jubilant. Because of the domino effect of friends, family, clients, colleagues and even strangers praying and asking others to pray for us, I do not doubt that there were thousands of people praying for us. I'm a practical person that certainly believes in science and medical technology, but I absolutely know, from the bottom of my heart, that God was involved in this. I give ALL of the credit and glory to Him. Prayer is positively powerful. God is real, and He still performs miracles." 📷: Nick Schnarr

Very diplomatic answer to a hostile reporter. He handled it 100% respectfully and directly responded to the questions asked.
I thought @jaredkushner gave a spot on magnificent answer to the really nasty-toned question from @RichardEngel . Kudos to Jared 👏👏👏👏👏

And the food expert "Christian" blocked me. Pretty sure Jesus Christ himself would not turn his nose down at any food that his people appreciated and thanked him for.
Replying to @Thatbrian
"Good food" is subjective and relative to your life experience. When I was a kid (son of a single mother who drove a school bus all day and a taxicab at night), Red Lobster was only for special occasions (like my 18th birthday). As an adult, I've dined at expensive Michelin star restaurants and other top ranked restaurants around the world. But I'd never turn down a family dinner at Red Lobster or Olive Garden.
