The Reason Why Some People Are So Kind #kindness #kindnessisfree #kindnessalways #mentalwellbeing #mentalhealthsupport #mindhelp

To former President Jimmy Carter....your wife Rosalyn (AND you) was a class act, during your time in the White House, and especially, after. My sincerest condolences to your family. #RIPMrsCarter

To a lady with a coat, AND heart, of many colors, Happy Birthday, Dolly Parton !

Seems an old "Fast Car" is now cruising up the Billboard charts (debuting at #42) this week. WHY do I have the feeling that a couple of Top 40 and Hot A/C hosts-LastCall CarsonDaly, Rick Dees, and Ryan Seacrest-better be prepared for the return of Tracy Chapman?

I'd almost forgotten, but thankfully caught it....A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, indeed, to one of the sweetest souls I know, online or real time. Chef Art Smith, I HOPE you had a very good day, my friend. HUGS, to you, Jesus, and the kids...LOVE YA LOTS, Honeybear!

I HATE Trump with every fiber of my being...BUT we REALLY need someone else in the Oval Office. The back and forth between extreme left & right is making me wish #NoLabels HAD been able to find a viable alternative. The US political system needs a MASSIVE overhaul.

One item I forgot yesterday, a VERY Happy Belated Birthday to a fan of both Casey AND Shadoe...Martha Quinn Ⓥ, I hope it was a good one!

Donald Trump is openly copying Nazi language, advocating for a “unified Reich.” We made this ad pre-2020 election, thinking that we would never have to release it. After Trump’s latest embrace of fascism, we feel it’s important to post, #Bloodlines

#Survivor fans...we've now seen both heroes (Stephanie & Cirie) and villains (Parvati, Sandra, and now, reportedly, Tony) on NBC/Peacock's The Traitors US . Which Survivor heroes AND villains would you like to see going for #AlanCumming's gold next?

As much as I am NOT a fan of DJT, whomever decided to go after him with a gun...you just plunged us further into the fact America's on the brink of civil war. And gave Dems a very "sinking feeling," and MAGA "ammunition" to strike without mercy. We DEF need a change.

I turn 62 today, and ALL I want is a little peace and understanding in my life and the world around me. Is that TOO much to ask? (I DO want a little more, but I'd settle for that, for now.)

We know you've probably seen this video a hundred times, but let's help it reach a million views! It has 987k views so far 🙌

To all the politicians making waves about the disasters in Florida, GA, VA, TN, and my beloved North Carolina...put the DAMNED politics aside. ALL of them are PEOPLE, who need our help NOW. Take a little time to be more like Ty Pennington & Chef José Andrés 🕊️🥘🍳, and make an impact.

I ALWAYS believe in finding ways to connect with folks, despite differences. That said, I MAY be connecting in other ways soon, but for the friends I have here, don't worry, I ain't going from here THAT soon. Someone's gotta be a shoulder to lean on. :)

Those of you who know me openly, right now, I'm asking for your support, in whatever form. Seems the retail chain I work for, Big Lots, is closing for good by February 1. After 20 years, I'm more or less starting over, and got a LOT to think about on where to go. Talk soon!

To my pals, "fans," and so on...next month I lose my retail job, and the toll has been great, including my "absence" here. Good thoughts and support would be welcome now for me & my other half, and I hope to hear from you guys. And THANKS, for being in my corner.

OK....after a long absence for a LOT of reasons, and a brief time Tuesday to mark my 63rd (B'day, that is), I'm back. Hope to hear from many of you, SOON. :)

YES, I wasn't a fan of Charlie Kirk. But this exemplifies how divided and how crazy this country has become. That kind of "reaction" doesn't have any place in this world, no matter what you believe.

Been better, but OK here.

It's been a "year" for me, I won't lie, and it's been rough. But I'm damned well hoping I-and the world around me-comes out better before long. To all of you who've chatted with me, much less all my "family" of whatever sort, Happy Holidays, everyone. LOVE ya.
