 If you’re ever visiting Arlington National Cemetery please remember that people are there burying and visiting lost loved ones. It might be part of your vacation, remember for others it’s a time and place of mourning. Please be respectful. Stop for funeral processions and place your hand on your heart. 
 Way to be an asshole. People from around the world were visiting fyi.

 My comment was specific to Arlington National Cemetery which is also a popular tourist destination. Stopping and placing your hand over your heart as a civilian for a passing funeral procession is specific to that place. 
 Reposting so I’ll remember to read this when I have the chance. nostr:note1pkxt9h8y67vpsrqu8ma5d6prm54ak7t44xl4kq23k8yh6zjxuymqssdxjp

 My mom thought for years that My Sharona was singing Rice-a-Rona. She was like why are they singing about rice? 
 Long time no chat! We should remedy that!

 P.S. I love the glow up that ChatGPT gave me. 
 Zuck’s was amazing in my opinion. That was a damn glow up if I’ve ever seen one. 
 I just found four baby kittens on my roof. They just barely have their eyes open. I want to adopt... 
 Observe them at a distance and see if a mama cat returns. Give her 8 hours. Their best chance of survival is with their mom, second best chance with an experienced kitten rescuer. Mama cat may have just gone to get food. 
 If you’re willing, keep feeding the mom. It will allow her to stay close. You could even see if she’s willing to move inside with them. She might move them to a warm spot with food and water readily available. 
 You might see them around in the future. She probably just moved them to keep them safe. 
 Happy Mother’s Day! 💐 
 Marfans? 
 Wow that’s really interesting! 
 Root aneurysm? Do you mind if I ask what you were measuring at in mm pre surgery? How long did you know about the aneurysm before surgery?

 Glad you’re willing to be his personal messaging service Marie! I think you’ll be forwarding or returning calls a quarter after never, right?

 Let's be honest here.

If he doesn't want to pay for a reasonable date, doesn't want to buy you f... 
 From my experience disagreeing on what is reasonable does not equate to being out of their league. Plenty of people have different standards for a prospective partner vs themselves. 
 I was meeting someone at a coffee shop once. He was running late and I was thirsty, so I got a drink. He called me out for buying my own and said he thought that signaled I wasn’t that interested. 

I keep thinking about stuff like this and wanting to go thank my current partner. 
 Coffee shop dude? Or that I want to thank my current partner for being so lovely just the way he is? 
 It was one a few weird things that signaled it was just not meant to be. Do find it weird that someone would comment and find it offensive that I ordered a drink when he was over 20 minutes late. 
 💯 
 Well that was our second and last date and it was several years ago. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m dating someone very lovely right now who brings me coffee. 🥰

 Oh and GOOD MORNING NOSTR

Let’s all PV the fuck out of today & have an amazing chill Thursday ... 
 Good morning! 
 Hmmm 🤔 One confused American over here. 
 Battle cleaning grout today. At what point do you just go fuck it, I’m regrouting all this tile? #asknostr 
 Damnit. 🤦🏼‍♀️ 
 According to the googles if grout isn’t easily coming clean it’s time to redo the grout. Oy vey. 
 Wait… sealing tile? Is that specific tile or all tile? Why have I not heard of this? 
 Please pass along any good tutorials. Apparently mine is beyond saving too. It just won’t come clean. Bad case of the dingies. 
 This is after scrubbing and the grout used to be white. I think it just has to be redone. https://image.nostr.build/b2d484454b79af1d8b15571fbe66da668b2633b6774c71fa124bf8a87212301c.jpg  
 Oyyy I’d probably replace it. I’d worry any sealer applied afterwards would degrade with cleaning. 
 Understandable. Where’s the fairy godmother and her magic wand when you need her? 
 If I could I’d go and see one room a day and over the course of a month or so explore the whole museum. Just take it in more slowly. Don’t forget to give yourself days to be a tourist in your own city. 
 I’M OVERWHELMED!!!!

 Where I’m from traditionally a bride’s parent’s foot the bill for the wedding. Many couples are jointly paying for their own weddings now. But I’ve never seen a groom expected to pick up the whole tab for a wedding. 
 I’m so ok with eloping and putting money towards areas to help build a life with your spouse. My partner doesn’t have to spend 2 months salary on a ring. I’d rather make those decisions together. Honestly I’ve seen too many people go almost crazy with stress planning a wedding. I’d rather build and plan for a life than focus on one day. 
 I’m not going into debt for a wedding. Hard no. 
 I’ve had men tell me that they felt like the engagement ring is more of a signal to other men. I’ve seen engagement rings I wouldn’t wear swimming cause you’d just sink right to the bottom. 
 I’m about to put it in my bio that I don’t know Dorsey, therefore I am definitely not dating him, no I cannot connect you with him, yes I am absolutely sure. I’ve talked to some women dealing with this, any men getting dm’s or messages on other platforms like they’re Jack’s messaging service? 

Oh yeah and GM! 
 Stalking is terrible. Full stop. 
 Let’s be real, he probably hasn’t even seen this. What’s he gonna say, “Truth I don’t know her”? 
 🤣💯
