@savethemanatee still display my Save the #Manatee Florida plates from when we lived & got married in south Florida. "Sometimes I see me as an old manatee Headin' South as the waters grow colder"

~Jimmy Buffett 1946 - 2023~ Jimmy Buffett co-founded Save the Manatee Club with former US senator & FL governor Bob Graham. We will be forever grateful for his immense contributions to protecting the FL manatee and his many followers who have supported manatees for over 40 years.

It seems that so many wonderful people are leaving this world, and now Jimmy Buffett is one of them. I’ve known Jimmy for some time and found him to be one of the kindest and most generous people.  I remember once on holiday when I had forgotten to bring my guitar and was itching to play. He said he would get me one of his, but I said, ‘I’m left-handed’. So, Jimmy had his roadie restring one of his guitars which he loaned me for the duration of the holiday. He then followed this act of generosity by giving me my own beautiful left-handed guitar that had been made by one of his guitar-making pals. It’s a beautiful instrument, and every time I play it now it’ll remind me of what a great man Jimmy was.  He had a most amazing lust for life and a beautiful sense of humour. When we swapped tales about the past his were so exotic and lush and involved sailing trips and surfing and so many exciting stories that it was hard for me to keep up with him.  Right up to the last minute his eyes still twinkled with a humour that said, ‘I love this world and I’m going to enjoy every minute of it’.  So many of us will miss Jimmy and his tremendous personality. His love for us all, and for mankind as a whole.  Last, but not least, is his songwriting and vocal ability. If someone made an interesting remark he repeated it in his gorgeous Louisiana drawl and said, ‘That’s a good idea for a song’. Most times it didn’t take too long for that song to appear. I was very happy to have played on one of his latest songs called ‘My Gummy Just Kicked In’. We had a real fun session and he played me some of his new songs. One, in particular, I loved was the song, ‘Bubbles Up’. And I told him that not only was the song great but the vocal was probably the best I’ve heard him sing ever. He turned a diving phrase that is used to train people underwater into a metaphor for life when you’re confused and don’t know where you are just follow the bubbles - they’ll take you up to the surface and straighten you out right away.  So long, Jim. You are a very special man and friend and it was a great privilege to get to know you and love you. Bubbles up, my friend.  Love, Paul

@samjcil The silent treatment (or stonewalling) is the weaponizing of silence. It's different from not responding to someone. It's a punishment where people use silence to intimidate, guilt, or manipulate someone.

@Theholisticpsyc One of the most dehumanizing & disrespectful behaviors, particularly with a previously significant emotional connection. Demonstrates a lack of accountability & integrity. Undermining all trust. Recipient: treated inhumane Perpetrators: forever marked by their own selfishness

The silent treatment is a form of emotional abuse. Intentionally punishing someone with removal of love is a coping mechanism of emotionally immature people. It says: when you do something I don't like, I deny your very existence.

#relax, dear love, the angst of your lover is reflecting through you. Rest assured, he who loves you will come back to you, in wild and storm, in peace and silence. If the season takes him away, #relax, for seasons will change & bring back the lost traveller! #vss365

@rowancheung Cognitive Dissonance….being amazed at the profitable aspects of a new technics while not ever thinking about the negative consequences of that same apparatus.

manifesting pure love. No lies, no secrets, no cheats.

Diplo reveals he’s not defining his sexuality: “I’m sure I’ve gotten a blowjob from a guy before. I don’t know if it’s gay unless you make eye contact… I think the best answer I have is I’m not not gay. There are a couple guys I could date, life partner-wise.”

if sexy being a crime then I am arrest 😎

Ya see how simple men are? This shit entertaining as fuck

They started a secret chat to talk 💩about me and then blamed their behavior on me saying that I made them feel like they had to hide bc I would judge them…. When the entire time I was just asking them to be real with me. All I ever gave was love and they took it upon themselves to judge me and treat me like their perception of me was reality. Never gave me a chance to address any grievances they had.

The most important life decision we make is the partner we choose. Their habits, mindset, and their boundaries (or lack of boundaries) have the greatest impact. Here's Why:
