When someone has been mean to you, why would you want to be good to them?' 'You wouldn't want to. That's what makes it hard. You do it anyway. Being good is hard. Much harder than being bad.

If you think about it really hardthe strawhat with an baby on board might be sick.

But there is a death threat when the child wants to play with Luffy and luffy accidentally throwing the baby too high. But sanji would be a good caretaker with the food getting the babies needs in foods, if the child is allergic to this ortat, Robin is instantlythe mother nobody can change she would benthe best mother in the world. Zoro is great with kids (watch episode 318). Imagine the baby napping with him or sttig on his back while he exercises. Brook and Franky would be the uncles to spoil the baby with toys and clothes, gifts you name it. Usopp and Chopper are the baby siblings, playing with baby and jokes all around. Nami is the sister that protects the baby when their dangers (well, they all do, but she is in the scaredy cat trio) like pulling the baby close and running away.

Any changes, thoughts?

Oh you are spot on right there anon, Luffy is great with kids, just like ace as we saw with Tama and Momonosuke and how he protected her. But just as before just because he is good at protecting the baby and getting on the same wavelengh dosen’t exactly mean the child is gonn aleave unscathe. Luffy is capable of trying to give the baby some meat, if he decides to share it I mean. He dosen’t mean any harm he just dosen’t know, one thing he would be the to go to person is being blunt Id imagine when the kid is older he would go all the time to Luffy, as silly as he is he is also really blunt jusg as we see when he tells people when they are being annoying or crybabies no matter who they are so the kid can count on Luffy to not sugarcoat things just the blunt truth but also give them support. Fun big but honest brother. Totally capable of chucking them to high, but not to worry the crew is always there to save the kid! Hopefully…

Sanji just like you said would be great tending to the kids nutritional needs, we all know he is more than willing to adapts to not knly the needs of a person but also their preferences so no matter what kind of things the kid liek he is ready to provide. Because of his backround I also think he would be more in tune to the feelings of a baby and be good person to go to when they are emotional or just need someone to cry to when they are a little but older

Robin just has that motherly aura, can’t tell me otherwise, like Sanji I think because of her backround she would be more understanding of a child and the emotions they can bring. He has a few years under her belt and because of her background working with someone like Crocodile and all those people she is incredibly patient and is unlikely to loose her cool on the face of a baby’s high demands.

Zoro we know he is great with kids, my man took care of those triplets with style, like did you see how he gave that one baby his milk? Man is cool even under that situation. Not only have we seen him with actual babies but have you seen his relationship with Chopper? Get this man his adoption papers pronto. And despite how he is with Sanji . With a baby I feel liek he would have the patience of a saint, just the baby tossing and turning and he simply shifts or puts him back on hid lap endlessly, to the point that he does it unconsciously, his instincts won’t let that baby fall even if they were napping upside down. Hear me out kn those exercises, I know he is mostly into weights but if he ever does a run, just strap the baby in and you got a weight vest. And he takes the baby on certain weight exercises because the movements are akin to rocking.

Now Brook, you might have seen this one coming but lullubies, baby has got A nap buddy, their oen personal chef and their own personal concert what more can you wish? The baby might not understand what he is saying but you can bet that he will be making skeleton jokes everytime he is on baby duty and the baby will just laugh along because of his laugh ( he thinks they are laughing at his jokes so he keeps them going)

Now listen not only is Franky one of the cool uncles, my man can pull up all kinds builds for the kid, need a new craddle? Leave it up to him, need a new crib? You got one with the latest technology in the blink of an eye. Listen he tried to give the baby soda but after getting screamed at explained that a baby cannot have soda, you can bet the baby will have a Soda stuffie to replace the lack of real Soda. Baby’s gonna have a superrrrrr good laugh with him.

Ussop, like Franky will make sure the baby has everything available, he builds the baby all kinds of fun toys for them to play with; not only that but he gaves a detailed explanation on everything he does, baby will leave with a new toy and a course on construction. He can easily make that baby laugh with his goofy attitude too, rest assured that when the crew disembarks into dangerous territory you will have Ussop’s full disposition to stay behind with the baby.

Chopper has two modes, first one just like you said is being on the same wavelength as the baby. If Chopper is ever nowhere to be found, the crew knows to check the babies room, chopper is often napping with the baby with both of them hugging and cuddling eachother. Don’t count on him to be there when baby needs changing though, that nose of his won’t be able to take it. Second nose is doctor mode, a baby is really vulnerable and won’t be able to communicate what he’s feeling and Chopper is always ready to make him all better and provide the best care the baby could get.

Big sister Nami won’t let baby have anhthing but the best, you know why baby is always dressed up in what seems to be better clothes than the rest if the crew? Yep that comes from rich big Sister Nami. Baby has an outfit for every occasion, not only that but on everystop you can be sure that if Nami dosen’t come back with a new clothing item then she is returning for a new plush toy for the baby. On calm days when everything is quiet you can hear from the deck Nami playing some silly game like peekaboo with baby Strawhat

Lastly we have Jinbei. Him and Ussop often pair up to tell the best of stories they can tell, Ussops crazy stories combined with Jinbei’s calm voice is an audience pleaser. Wether it is an action story to entertain baby strawhat or a bedtime story he’s got it. When there’s a swimday you can bet that it’s Jinbei’s time to chain, they might just be a baby but they will have the time of their lives either way when jinbei is on duty

Overall baby strawhat is leaving the highlife

Robert Johnson - "Phonograph Blues." From the album The Complete Recordings (August 28, 1990)

Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm

The Greyhound should be coming soon I'll mount them stairs Climb in back, and Sleep til Greenwood That goddamned Son House it was Said I musta drawn a pact with Satan To play my slide so good Way he tell it, one summer night I met a man with horns Carrying a Diamondback whip Way he tell it, ole red skin devil Dipped a quill in my wrist And I signed his papers Gave my soul over And I could play. Son House is a goddamned fool The broken sun will slide down the crooked sky Chipped away, chipped away by nightfall We're all so chipped away And I can sleep til Greenwood Let me tell you what it's really like After fourteen hours of strumming On a ricketty stool, your back begins to howl And your fingertips bleed red film onto flatwound strings Even the fields don't hurt so much Eight weeks of hopping buses Sleeping in culverts Tossing turning sopping wet Dodging boss men hound dogs At three AM And some poor woman in Biloxi is crying Why or some other woman you've bedded down is Crying why, or some chile of yours They want a dipper of water and you ain't Got time, you ain't got time 'cause you're Getting close the guitar sounds like a Regular church bell and you're approaching The Blues. Your grandma don't feel Jesus That strong, but they want some drink of water And you gotta give 'em the satisfying smack Upside they're so dumb, and they ain't even Got what little you do.

The Greyhound should be stopping soon And I'll climb in back, Release my soul some and Sleep til Greenwood In Greenwood I'll drink his poisoned whiksey Why do I gotta know I'll drink his poisoned whiskey? Next week, I guess I'll meet his woman At the back door, and then come Friday I'll drink from his Mason jar. And just like the hellhound on my trail Just like the phonograph blues Just like the beatup woman blues Just like the whiskey-drunk blues Just like the goddamned slide guitar blues It's just got to be You chase them and they chase you And if you're dogged and driven, You catch 'em And if an evil rider drags you down, They catch you It's got to be And you can tell Son House I didn't meet the devil at no crossroads-- I met the devil at birth And his name is 12-bar blues He's the exhaustion that's spun from desire The exhaustion that blackens your eyes And puffs up your soul He smells like woodsmoke and ash The smell of two AM A Friday gathering up in Copiah And his words are joyous doom Passages read while hugging the Kind-hearted woman who knifes you His signs are the bloody fingertips And the broken jaw. It's got to be. So I'll drink his goddamned jealous lover whiskey And lay me down. The broken sun will slide down the crooked sky A chipped bottleneck Slid across a splintered fretboard And I can sleep at last

CONGRATULATIONS!!

I get the feeling of 'what do i do now', but please, take at least a minute and better still, an hour, and feel accomplished. You GOT A CERTIFICATE SAYING YOU DID A REALLY HARDTHING!!!

My mother secretly got a fancy frame for my diploma and hung it in a place of honour for me because she wanted to emphasize what a cool achievement it was that i graduated and got a piece of paper commemoratign that so maybe that would also help with the feeling of 'great. Now what?' Do something that makes you feel good about this amazing thing you did <3

your mum is so sweet ;-; my mum sent me "congratulaciones", idk why in spanish but okay.

I already started my master's and it feels so overwhelming.... and still not like something I really want to do, not that I am not interested in it, just the legal/founding/protocol side of things is too much. it scares me. I'm just a dumb kid.

but thank you for the kind message 🥺 I've been whining whole day and you are being so sweet to me <3

Grief: Some days I move a little forward and some days I take a few steps backwards. Today was a backwards day. A hard day. Trying to wrap my head around all that has happened. The trick is separating the earth tragedy and pain with the heavenly light. In my “eye” I see my beautiful cousin dressed in white with that everlasting huge smile of love on her face with an ethereal light surrounding her. It warms my melancholy heart. As I do my yoga routine and feel the pain I thank my God for my body and for this pain and gratitude to be alive. I then “see” myself walking up to my daughter’s porch with two large pumpkins in my arms for my sweet grandbabies, again with a heart full of gratitude to my Heavenly Father for my life. I am so grateful for the gift of the Atonement and the knowledge of life and death that I have while I suffer in silence of the tragic passing of my beautiful loving cousin. I remember when my teenage son passed. I was sitting in the backyard in the little red wagon crying with a breaking heart and thinking, “Oh how how how can I live another 70 years without you?” I find myself thinking these things as I mourn my sweet Cindy and her infectious smile. I know she is so happy to be home and in the arms of a merciful loving Jesus (I just love Him so). She is now in a place she recognizes. She was one of those that is referred to as “An angel who leaves footprints on our hearts.” Grief.

Hard Things

Life is hard. It doesn’t matter how you look at it, life throws hard things our way without any consideration of how we feel about it. Life can be ruthless, unforgiving, and at times, stone cold. Sometimes this is due to our own choices, but there are times when life throws us curve balls that we aren’t ready for. Besides death and taxes, there is one thing we can be guaranteed in life – hard…

“I CAN DO HARD THINGS!”

I laid out the quilt I've been working on all these years to get an idea what it looks like. I will have a solid cream color of little off-white strips in between each row and a paisley print on the back to finish it off.

To be truthful, when I first saw this pattern after I committed myself to make the quilt...I thought, “What the heck???! I can't do this!”

When they said, “Now cut out 150 triangles of this color and another 150 triangles of this fabric and...and...”

I thought, “Whaaattt???!”

Both my mother and sister are avid quilters. My mom stood by me for quite awhile watching lending support while I measured and cut and went from there.

It was way way too much and overwhelming. My sister showed me how to break the project down into bite-size pieces to get started and I cannot believe how the squares quickly came together! It was pretty amazing to see the pieces unfold.

I thought back on the many antique quilts I possess and have seen and how many beautiful hands have touched the fabric and yes, hand sewn each block. How many of these great ladies, my grandmothers, mother, sister, aunties, daughters, granddaughters felt overwhelmed thinking, “I can’t do this?!”

Imagine all the time taken, needle pricks, unpicking, children running underneath the frames of unfinished work giggling and chasing each other, while those around shared deep thoughts, gained wisdom, and unfinished stories.

Yet, it was done, a project completed, a lovely work of art created to lend warmth by loving hands on a cold winter’s night-what we know simply as, “a quilt,” lasting for generations. And don’t forget the forethought of adding the odd square so that the evil spirits have an escape route therefore leaving a blanket of love to bless those it covers and protects during a lengthy slumber.

Lesson learned: “I CAN do this!”

Like those before me. I can start and finish an intricate project, a work of art, to keep me and others warm and bless lives for generations and inspiring those that come after me with my love.

I CAN DO HARD THINGS!
