“Before I let anyone take from me the Word of God and ask me to deny my God, I will kneel and let them strike off my head.”
You either back in or back out. If you’re not rushed on arrival, always back in. If you’re in a rush when you’re backing up, the chances of not paying attention and running over someone are much higher. Do the backing up when you know you’re not rushed.
This is basically what happened when my grandma died. Grandpa left to grab supper and stopped back in before going home. For some reason his phone didn’t ring when they called him.
Shadow bans finally out of the shadows?

I distinctly remember a Bible study I went to in college where we covered Ephesians 4:29. I realized there were course jokes I made regularly, comments about the “ol’ ball and chain,” etc. that aren’t wholesome. That very day I decided I’m just not going to do it anymore. God-willing I’ll be married someday, and if things aren’t going well, no one will know about it. And if, God forbid, things are really bad, a few close friends from church will be brought in as counselors. I don’t care if it’s “just a joke,” I’m not doing it.
It’s pronounced differently depending on what you put it in.
Even if she wins, the damages should be at most the cost of the hospital stay. In Texas and many other states you can surrender your newborn no questions asked.
Inject this straight into my veins.
My wife's brother spent six years at a Japanese car plant in Kentucky. He was sent to teach the Americans our way of working.
He came home with a notebook. On the cover, in Japanese: "Things I Learned Instead."
Some pages:
"The first day of deer season, half the line takes vacation. HR plans for it every year. Nobody pretends to be sick. They just say 'deer season.'"
"They name the machines. The welding robot on Line 2 is Darlene. Darlene gets a birthday cake."
"When someone's wife has a baby, the whole line signs a card. The card is bigger than the baby."
"A man with thirty years on the line showed me a better way to do my own job. Then he said, 'Don't tell your boss I told you that, boss.'"
"Every Friday, someone brings doughnuts. Nobody is assigned. Somebody always does."
"They thank the janitor by name. Every day. His name is Curtis."
The last page is from his final day.
In our system, anyone can stop the line, but only for a problem. Stopping it is serious.
"On my last day, the line stopped for one minute. There was no problem. They stopped it to shake my hand."
He says it's the only time in six years he was happy to see the line stop.
“But if you make citizenship requirements for voting you’re gonna deprive so many people of their right to vote!”
I literally just drove to a county health department today and got a copy of my birth certificate. It’s not that hard.
Might have a piece of metal in my eye. It was time to finally make a burn barrel. Cut the top off just fine, but then on the last air hole I was drilling something flew out and hit my eye and I can feel something moving around behind my eyelid. Should probably try and flush that out.
Some of these stop signs in the country really need to turn to yield signs after harvest. They’re making me stop like I can’t see a mile in every direction.
