We saw him at a book signing a couple years ago. It looks like he gained weight, maybe just too many donuts? He is very engaging in person.

Maybe they named him after the chick fil a guy Samuel Truett Cathy (March 14, 1921 – September 8, 2014) was an American businessman, investor, author, and philanthropist who founded the fast food restaurant chain Chick-fil-A in 1946.

Gosh we are the same as far as loving the daughter in law and her family. Sadly her parents have passed but we are here with them and her sister and family will be here tomorrow for the feast. We now travel on Thursday. Cheaper and easier. And none of us care that the big meal is on Friday. We now have older grands and they all like to cook.

the Mr. and I both enjoyed this show. We also think that someone who wrote it/developed it, etc. had Alzheimers in the family. It was produced or developed by Michael Schur who is Regis Philbin son in law. So maybe... Mr's mother died of a dementia, very similar, and it made us both cry at times, but, worth watching.

Does Truley go to school, like a public school with other kids her age? Or is she "home schooled". Asking because she probably observes some different behaviors there and there are teachers who might say "Truley this is math time in our seats" for example. Or whatever teachers might say. Maybe Truley is mostly fine in other situations except for the ones captured by the crew for the teevee show? When I say mostly fine I mean in Christine's world of parenting, including encouraging jumping into a Christmas tree.

Funny enough, this is the most active thread on this Forum! The Rods never disappoint.

Is it possible that Janelle and maybe Meri have another income source that we don't know about? We only get what they post and what is curated for the show by the producers. Maybe MLM and in addition something else?

Matt Gaetz will not disappear for the simple reason (apparently) that he only resigned from this session of the house(?) & was re-elected by his constituents for next term in the elections that just took place so he can just take his seat in January if he is not confirmed. But he will be confirmed because the Rs saying he isn't fit to serve will fall into line as soon as there's a vote that has their name attached to it for the simple reason that they're all scared of the orange felon. Agree - I am trying to stay away from the news, but it does come up, as in The View. Other pundits have done their punditing and I am convinced that all the appointments will go through, whether on recess appointment or not, and that we should get ready for the rest of it. It will happen. How in world can anyone prepare for this besides hoarding food? I wish Sara would ask Alyssa that.

Agree. I have thought for a long time that there is too much punditry to fill the 24 news cycle. Rehash, restate, etc. And all the pundits and their analysis on the criminal cases were All Wrong even before the election. So, therefore, I don't bother with it anymore.

Oh okay. It merged my comments and I'm not great at sorting all that out.

He had a heart transplant back when. so it is someone else's! I am almost done listening to Hillary Clinton's latest book. She reads it. It is really compelling to me, for the personal and professional included. Towards the end she does a deep dive into what a second 47 presidency would look like if all the guard rails stayed off and if no one else became the opposition or the resistance. Scary. I am staying away from the news, and hope there are enough resisters to help.

I didn't see her picture but we were in a very nice restaurant in Atlanta last night and there was a sausage and sauerkraut appetizer we shared. It was delicious. I'm sure much better than Jill's but served together nonetheless.

I am reading on here and not commenting. It is an interesting discussion. I think sometimes people can choose to change their behavior, as in not saying what they truly think or believe, but, don't change their minds/thoughts, etc. The part that they don't say. So someone can say all the right things out loud and still harbor and act on the other thoughts. And sometimes people change their minds/thoughts, and then their behavior change is genuine.

I loved that book. Especially since it was a social experiment and not a religious book. And hilarious.

For sure. I asked the ChatGPT and this is the answer. I am thinking people skirt by these requirements or there aren't enough people to enforce, or there are strong lobbies to officials to keep their people because of cheap labor or no one else to work. It will be a nightmare all around. Folks who think prices are coming down will be sadly disappointed when there are no workers and supply goes down. https://chatgpt.com

I am thinking that at some point many of the "regular" people who voted for him will begin to wonder what is going on. A case of be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.

I will just say I have loved all my iPhones. I am sad to hear you are having phone problems. If my house were on fire I would try and put my glasses on, take my hearing aids, one card that Sweet Son wrote me and my iPhone. And if nothing else, my iPhone! I got a lanyard so I can wear it and never be without it. We have an unhealthy relationship!

Can I ask why some people still say "Democrat party"? I think I know, but I've seen it on here. This isn't against any posters, but in general it has become a thing. I am guessing it is a form of disrespect? when I respond on any platform that says that, I say "Republic party", because yes, I am petty that way.

The honeymoon happened "moons" ago. Maybe one day we will find out where Truely stayed.

I used to color my hair for years. One time in the 90s I got one that made my hair eggplant colored! No worries. After a few weeks I colored it again. I like that Joy is experimenting. If she likes her choices or revisits them, that is good. She doesn't have to please us. I hope she doesn't think she has to please Austin, but, well...she probably wants to.

I can't find the original post, but it asked why Buttigieg wasn't used as a surrogate. He was. He always made it clear when he was on as a surrogate or as Transportation Secretary. I do remember seeing him multiple times on various news sources and he has been on FOX many times and the comments are always "why do they let him on when he is so good at tearing down their arguments/comments, etc. I also agree with the poster who said the country isn't ready for a woman or a gay man. And, as the mother of a late "sweet son", gay, and Jewish, I doin't think the country is ready for a Jewish second gentlemen or VP as in Josh Shapiro. I base this on what goes on in my own life, what I hear, what people say to me, etc.

I'm wondering if she did that to be more comfortable at the gym, without considering or caring how it looked? I know my hair isn't its best at the gym but it is out of my face and away from machines.

Then I stand corrected on that.

Sure - why not. Except it is on the basis of their views, not on something they were born as. Views can be changed. I'm sure we all have biases or prejudices for one thing or another. It doesn't have to be on ethnicity, race, gender, religion, etc.
