The modern thinking of the miserable mind believes that dividing your time between your duties to our families, our work, our communities, our God, and getting our own lives presentable is morally wrong - emblematic of selfishness and privilege.
But what happens to all those hours that were once devoted to that? How do you fill up that time when all those elements which make for a challenging but satisfying life are considered anathema?
Once you remove those priorities, you're left with "you." And that "you" is a relentless chaos of anxiety, fear, self-pity and perhaps worst of all: envy. An envy directed at all those who still believe in those duties you have abandoned.
it's not the simplest equation to reverse, but it's our responsibility to help that reversal take place.
Congratulations to @Junemarie53, @Ted_Prohowich, and @jennybadger2. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Tyrus and the Panelists.

What was the weirdest Christmas gift you’ve gotten?
@Ted_Prohowich
What was your greatest accomplishment for 2025?
@jennybadger2
If you could solve any unsolved mystery what would you want to solve?
My wife asked me if anything was wrong this morning. I seemed pensive. No. There's nothing wrong. I was reflecting on how 2025 started and how it ended. Alot of change for the good occurred in 2025. After this assignment, I'm thinking of calling it quits. We'll see. Maybe not?

“Happy New Year!”
Well, it’s the beginning of our 47th year as a couple. In June we will celebrate our 42 wedding anniversary.
We are currently enroute to Pittsburgh PA, to visit our middle daughter, and youngest grandchild.
In May we were invited to go on an Alaska ‘Disney Cruise’ with our eldest daughter’s family.
Then, in September, we will take “The Great Scooter Ride”, or
I guess it could also be the second “Cavalcade”. We will get on the northern terminus of US RT 101 (The 101 for you Californians) in Washington State, and take it to San Francisco, where we will get on the ‘Pacific Coast Hwy’. We are unsure if we will take it all of the way to San Diego, where we will head east to GA.
If you live in Washington, Oregon, or California along the route and you’d like to meet up, let us know.
I will also let you know our route to Montana this year so we can plan a stop or two to meet folks that would like to get together.
