But when... Originally a happy thought, and still one I suppose, but with a surprising twist. My link is from an April 2023 report. The story showed up in my Apple News feed today, reported by Buzznet on Feb 7, 2024. It’s about a Doberman, who was rescued only 4 days before he was due to be put down for an aggressive past. 4 days after adoption, he saved the rescue family’s baby from a poisonous snake, being bitten and nearly dying in the process. So what’s the surprising twist: > **spoilertext** > > Not mentioned by Buzznet, the incident is from 2007 ---

My husband buys some scented Epsom salt off Amazon.

Jackie Robinson gets so much press (and got far more severe abuse than that, but I’m not sure about issues with his teammates). ---

the first (and only, for a bit) on every team likely had it super shitty ---

Jackie Robinson certainly had issues with (some of) his teammates too. I imagine that a lot of black players did in the early days of integration. ---

It’s so weird, but nice, being in a healthy relationship. I screw something up, am profusely apologetic and he… accepts my apology and we both move on and have a super fantastic rest of the weekend. What? That can happen?!?!?! No pouting and sulking for 3 months??? I thought only the guy was allowed to have imperfections. I didn’t realize that I was permitted to have shortcomings too. (OK, not really, but basically every relationship I’ve ever been in has felt that way.) ---

your happy thought made me sad. I am so happy you feel appreciated, i am sad that it took to this point in your life to understand that is how life should be. ---

I’m in home depot and run into this short asian woman who says hello. I’m like, where in heck do I know you from? I know here, but cannot place her. She runs the gas station in town. If she’d have said HELLOHOWYOUTODAAAAAY? I’d have pinned her down immediately. Anyway, had quite a fun conversation. I asked her about her boys because I know they hated living in this small town. Two are optometrists. One’s working in Japan. The last one’s at home hoping to be a professional gamer. I said she must be quite proud. Turns out, not so much lol. No idea what she was expecting. Anyway, it was a fun time having a chat. When I go to the gas station conversations are far more brief. ---

the third one’s life choice is probably not one many moms would be happy about, unless they were extremely successful at it already. ---

Yeah, but I got the impression none of them had lived up to expectations. Optometrists? Not good enough? ---

I would say that I understood it’s how things should be… it’s just never how they actually were. I probably normalized and tolerated too much in past relationships. ---
