#Spoutories Dodger Stadium - We had the company’s season tickets to a game, 1st row, 2nd deck, on a line from 2nd to 1st & into the stands. A screaming foul ball came right at me. No time to dodge. It hit the concrete three feet in front of me & went who knows where. Did I ever #cringe ! ⚾️

I ran my hand over my scalp as an interruption, breaking the spell that the victim's horror story had cast on me. As I did so, my client #cringed , reflexively shrinking from an expected attack.
There is a special place in hell for the person that had done this to him.

“Starting at the part by her uncle’s left ear, the combover rose like lines on a music staff over the top of his head, then fluttered to rest among sideburns on the right side. Unlike the rest of the family, she didn’t #cringe at the sight, instead she saluted the engineering.”

Every time I see that ridiculous photo of drumpf smiling with his obviously teenaged daughter Ivanka draped across him I can’t help but wonder just how many other people find that photo #cringe worthy and a bit disturbing knowing he also said he would also date her. 🤨😬 #spoutories #yikes

The bottle spins & her little devil greedily looks on, excited for potential naughtiness, while her little angel shudders at the thought of something embarrassing going viral on TikTok. It stops on Bad-breath-Benny, who puckers up immediately. This is so cringe, she thought.

April is my #cringe month. In-person bureaucracy times three. A birthday I want nothing to do with for reasons. An anniversary that fucks me sideways every year. The good thing is I made it through all this year. Not unscathed, but at least not further scarred. Smooth sailing now. 🤞

A true #cringe worthy moment. So we had this guy surrounded. I was young & eager to show what I could do. However, I was holding my number upside down so I rushed in to fight him at the same time as the real number six. And the guy is like which one of you am I supposed to fight?

It happened every single time. Loud unexpected noises would make my poor doggo #cringe then run for cover. A car backfiring, thunder, the loud rumble of a big truck. It made me so sad for them. Holidays with fireworks were the worst. I'd sit with them to calm them, but only meds worked. #Spoutories

She draped the pink blanket over the crib rail, smoothing it with her hands, hoping he hadn't noticed her #cringe when he entered. But he only turned away, breathing a sigh that shuddered through the room – through her. And she knew. It wasn't rage he was feeling, but grief.

He was warned to never over-night the houseboat against the shore out west of Sioux Narrows. One night he found out why. Each time he'd relate that awful night he'd #cringe thinking what might have happened if the bear decided to take one of the kids instead of the Igloo full of food.

Grandpa's 90th birthday party brought family members and friends to the house. He sat, stroking his Calico, as voices and laughter rose. At an ebb in the volume, Ed's voice rang out, "...they lanced it but it's still draining." All eyes turned his way. Even the cat cringed.

I cringe when I see myself in photos from my teen years. I hated so many things about my body then. One pic shows me stooping in a weird way. One day a lightbulb went off: "You were trying to fit a 5'8" 150 lb. young woman into the space of a 5'2" 100 lb. cheerleader." OMG.

Early in their relationship, she cringed as he raised his arm. Flashback to another time, another man, a different man. This man was only using his arm to emphasize what he was saying. No intention to harm. 46 years later and she’s never felt the need to #cringe from him again.

Some things not so obvious to the outside world, putting that game face forward. He abhored how this changed him. How the anger was always there. And that she would #cringe when he spoke, unfiltered, before pasting on a fake smile, knowing later, it wouldn't be of consequence.

In the bustling café, the espresso machine hissed & dripped, a rhythmic melody in the air. As the barista crafted the perfect cup, each #drip echoed the anticipation of a new day—a blend of caffeine & possibilities, awakening the city.

All you need to change a narrative to 'a win' is one news cycle.
Just one. A day. Less than 24 hours.
Need to know how the story changes. What MSM runs with. Who benefits from the outrage. And what comes next when real push back happens. Digging deep takes time - stories that fly aren't accurate.

It’s supposed to rain and the hockey game is laaaaate tonight. 9pm starts should not be a thing when they are in the same time zone.
I need a nap already. 😂 And chocolate. And way more #Coffee . Enjoy today, live large, find #SmallJoys .

There was a plip, plip, sound outside the window. It has been raining & the water had decided to #drip off the roof & onto the deck. It was surprisingly noisy as each drop of water landed. Plip! And the water sprayed in a little circle before running away. She watched this for a while.

Our school bus driver, despite the many curves, inclines and declines, and hardly any width to the lightly paved road, in between stops he'd drive like a bat out of hell! And we chose to sit in the back seat eagerly awaiting that #dip in the road that made us fly out of our seats.

#Chat was going around the camp. The war had been going on for some time and it was tit for tat for most of it. Luckily it had been fought away from human habitation. Now the chat coming through mentioned a final push and a cease fire that would most likely involve civilian casualties.

He refused to give up his secrets so the French on Desirade tied him naked to the trunk of the nearest Manchineel tree. He'd be talking pretty soon as the daily rain began to fall. The leaves would soon #drip acid onto his face. His back would be burning from the milky acid laden sap.

If you're absent-minded or easily distracted like me, you might not notice the drip of a faucet or a toilet that needs its handle jiggled - until the water & sewer bill come. Whoa! The price skyrocketed. A plumber is expensive, but so is letting leaks persist in an old house.

I'm in bed, warm and cozy, thinking I hear the sound of rain. Maybe it's a dream. Then I feel a #drip . Then another. No, it's just a dream. I feel compelled to wake up. I force my eyes open, another drip. Big doggo is standing over me dripping slobber. Sorry, breakfast is late, firulais. #Spoutories

Awake and asleep blurred together these days. Her eyes were open. The only movement in the room was above to her left: the drip of the IV. She stared at the wall. People bustled in the hallway. Awake, asleep, then awake. Someone was holding her hand. A joyful, sunny smile.
