Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

I read the question, “Why have we waited so long to secure our freedoms?” My two cents:
In order to end an abuse, the abuse must be acknowledged as abuse. Denial of abuse, either its reality or severity, when you’re in the middle of it is a form of self-protection, sheltering the soul. It’s only when removed from the abuse that many start to be able to say, ‘Yes, that was awful, really awful. I didn’t realize just how awful.’ It could be that, in part, many hesitate to end the long train of abuses because it is too painful to acknowledge the abuses.
That is quite an interesting take on things.
I fear that we’re now at the point where we’ve lost multiple generations to brainwashing on a massive scale (via the education system, the mainstream media, social media/tech platforms, pop culture, etc) such that they actually think and feel that the madness that’s unfolding is good. Look at people like AOC who espouse utterly ridiculous ideas and seem puffed up with pride to do so.
However, perhaps there are others who are experiencing what you describe. I do believe that if we had an honest media, a large number of people would be truly shocked to learn about things they are now protected from knowing. In my experience, when trying to red pill people over the years, one of the most common things people say when I share a bit about various topics some variation of “That’s scary.”
Hmm.
There is another matter on this subject most miss about the current media situation, not the fake news style but the Patriot news.
For arguments sake the right is still divided in its approach, the goal being basically the same though, the hard core right want “hangings”, the middle want to reverse things peacefully and the last group will follow the other two.
Every country’s cultural populations Patriot mindsets are different along with political standards, systems and norms, this point does not get addressed.
Two examples : this site recently had a main story on the Australian sky news reporter Rita Panani, I quite liked the report, but to us in the know she is flowerchild patriot, knowledgable on current matters that float surface but definitely not read into any history in regards to the NWO historical facts, the Federal Reserve, or Religious persecution of age.
Us hardcore life on the line see straight through this.
A few weeks later Rita done an interview, laughing and chatting like old mates with none other than Alexander Downer, you know the one, Australian spy, Steele dossier, Trump coup !
Example two : The Serb tennis scumbag, most of the world got played with this one, while all eyes were on the jab bullshit ( and I understand why) the background unsung Patriots developed a splitter strategy, we took a he’ll of a lot of fence sitters and pushed them away from Prime Minister Morrison, this creates the situation where independents will get more votes in the upcoming Federal Election thus splitting the uniparty.
The Serb by the way is a billionaire member of the elite owning 70% of a pharmaceutical company that is researching more bio-jabs ! I’ll add that his wife is a “Spirit Cooker” !
We harcores done our homework on this one.
Nuff said.
These are just two points of many I could give more examples.
Actually I will, our soldiers force vaxing our Aboriginal population is not only complete and utter bullshit but an insult of the highest degree .
This sort of rubbish gets play and all of a sudden it becomes fact, the same happens on both sides.
My conclusion :
Mass pseudo psychological analysis on any country made through the assumptions of recognition through media including Patriot on face value is a fools errand.
Hang loose until the facts surface is a far better option as to many get lost in the swell otherwise.
The enemies tactics of divide and conquer the Patriots should never fall for as it is a trap.
I fall into both categories. I want to peacefully have a court case that will result in the death penalty for many of the evil bastards who undoubtedly deserve it. But, peacefully.
Hope you’re going well mate.
Cheers
Strictly hanging for me 😁
Hope your doing well.
Gee, that’s a surprise (sarc)
I’ll supply the soap for the rope, M. 🤣
I fear that you will be waiting forever. The courts today are all of the liberal ilks. Even the SCOTUS justices are so afraid of the wrath of the liberals. When Chuck Schumer stood on the steps of the SCOTUS and threatened all the conservative justices, they all quaked in fear. The World Court in the Hague is totally overrun with ultra-liberal globalists or third-world countries that hate the USA. Justice will be a long time in coming. Some I fear will only come when the wicked stand before God at His Great White Throne judgment.
I have many dreams about what I want – I also want our fight back to be so huge and successful that we also clear out the corruption. It’s a big dream. But I want it done. And I do believe in miracles.
PS : Queensland and New South Wales have just enacted law stating that any employer that states vax mandate policy as a term for employment can be sued if any medical complications arise from the jab.
The Email was sent to all registered corporate company’s .
I waited to confirm .
Nice little win.
That’s a great step forward. But I still won’t be risking it because no amount of compensation can replace health.
I hope it also stands for the government. Maybe then they’ll remove the rules for health workers.
The UK has just said they won’t be bringing in mandatory jabs for health staff. So there’s another one for the good guys.
There is a good vid on MP of an Aussie Pilots speech in front of bullshit house,
Calls out others that have told him not to talk anything God.
I true to explain the Aussie keep God to himself thing but some miss the point, this page is cool like that, but others not so much.
You should like the vid.
Cheers.
Thanks mate, If that’s Hoody, then I saw it. I quite like Hoody, and I like that he is bringing God back into people’s lives. I have friends who are from many different religions, and I support them all in their belief in God – it’s healthy for the heart and soul. But yes, I agree about Aussies being different to Americans in the way we address religion.
Try to tell them that ! 😛
Hahaha
We have a number of cultural differences. It is what it is – we still love each other.
I have a Texan friend, and we both ask pretty basic questions from time to time. I got asked what’s footy 😂
I would of him it’s a game we play with peodophile heads 😛
Hahaha
These days paedophiles and other scum get more rights than those who simply wish to make their own medical decisions. Sad times
You know what else – just with your first comment about Rita Panahi. She has improved massively. I remember her a year ago, maybe longer. Compared to now, she has had a marked improvement in her work. And her improvement has come at a great speed. I have high hopes, if she continues on this path.
But, Rowan Dean is still my favourite!
Not in three weeks she ain’t !
I think she’s shown an overall improvement. I stand by that. I’m not saying she’s perfect, and she’s still growing. But compared to her earlier work, she is moving forward. If she stays on this path, she’ll end up being really good.
Nah, she wasn’t a lefty. She was just a bit wet behind the ears. She’s learning to have more conviction and confidence. Really, I think she used to be softer and maybe a bit more vague about her views, and she’s now toughening up. And with that, I think she’s also more certain about what she believes. But in the time I’ve watched her – maybe a couple of years (??), she’s never been a lefty.
And I thoroughly agree that there are large sections of the media that need to be criminally charged for telling lies and intentionally misleading the public.
This Texan knows😉
I have a soft spot for Texans ♥️
We’re a pretty good bunch, Rach.
EXCELLENT!!!! As it should be…there and here.
“Hang loose until the facts surface is a far better option as to many get lost in the swell..”
Good advice.
We absolutely have RINOs in Australia.
” many hesitate to end the long train of abuses because it is too painful to acknowledge the abuses”
JMO, psychobabble cop-out.
If I could Mr Cactus I would insert generational before cop-out. 😜
It might also be that some people don’t really understand.
I was in a workplace bullying situation many years ago. I just knew it was crappy, but I didn’t understand exactly what was happening until I had told a friend and she explained it to me. And, yes, I was old enough at the time to know better! But, I genuinely didn’t.
I think the problem is not one simple answer. I think there are many reasons. This is one of them. Your explanation is another. And then there’s a whole bunch more, too.

Adorable!
Good morning, sir💓
Hiya, Betsy! 🙂

Henryk Gorecki’s Symphony No 3, Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, performed by the London Sinfonietta, conducted by David Zinman, Dawn Upshaw, soprano.
Time stamps (thanks to a commentator at YouTube);
I. Lento – Sostenuto Tranquillo Ma Cantabile 0:00
II. Lento e Largo – Tranquillissimo 26:48
III. Lento – Cantablile Semplice 36:14
Settle in with invisible quiet to fully absorb the depth of this masterwork, which overflows with life, while being simultaneously riddled with sorrow. Perhaps the two are inseparable. (Note: The piece starts out incredibly quiet and builds, so take care with the volume because if you raise it to be able to hear the very beginning, it will probably be a bit too loud once it hits the volume range where the rest of the piece lives.)
Here’s one of a multitude of pieces written about this piece for anyone interested:
https://digitalcommons.cedarville.edu/musicalofferings/vol6/iss2/3/
Haven’t heard Gorecki in a long time. Thanks for posting this. 🙂
His Symphony of Sorrowful Songs used to be played endlessly on BBC Radio 3, which is the classical music channel in the UK, back in the late 80s and 90s. And I mean endlessly, until it wore out its welcome. Which is a shame.
Yes, that was a shame. It was written back in the ’70’s, but didn’t gain traction until a decade or two later when, as you say, it was played ad nauseum until it because almost a pop tune and many used it as a soundtrack or background music for all manner of things to tug on people’s heart string in a superficial way that ultimatley trivilaized something beautiful, at least in my view.
I’ve been interested in minimalist music of certain ilks since it first hit the scene, including some of Gorecki’s work, Brian Eno, Phillip Glass, Steve Reich, and Meredith Monk, to name a few. Don’t love everything they do, but some pieces are magic. Here’s one album by Phillip Glass that I used to listen to a lot. I particularly like the first piece, which is about 6 minutes long:
To each her own, Sarah. I cannot get there with minimalist music. Especially Phillip Glass …the same 4 notes (seemingly)… the same tune…over and over and OVER, no matter if it is a symphony, chamber music, or concerto (as Bruckner’s music was. It was said by a critic of his symphonies that he wrote the same one nine times). Reich the same. Like modern architecture, modern music has no appeal for me at all.
I hope I haven’t hurt your feelings on Glass. Now give me some Karl Jenkins? I’m good. I could add to my list of don’t likes, Bernstein in general (Candide, Our Town, and West side Story the exceptions). Britten, nope (except 4 Sea Interludes and A Ceremony of Carols).
Give me anything that isn’t cacophony or repetitive, and in complete honesty for me that describes modern music today. It simply doesn’t reach in to my soul and elevate it.
Everyone’s ear is different, and that’s what makes music interesting think.😊
Yikes! I used to do this on the piano in the basement, until my mother yelled down the stairs, “STOP!”
After Garrison posted the final scene from an exceptional film last night, I got to thinking about old films that I love. And Fellini’s The Night’s of Cabiria came to mind. So I started watching clips of it at YouTube and it struck me that the clip from the final scene is almost someone sitting on the opposite end of a see-saw. This final scene shows a touching transition in the lead character after being conned by a man who she thought loved her, where he bilks her out of every penny she’s saved. The scene when she realizes he doesn’t love her takes place at the edge of a cliff where he’s lured her. When she realizes he was only using her for the money, she becomes desperate and wants him to kill her. He doesn’t, but runs away with her purse full of all the money. She’s left, desperate on the ground.
In the final scene that I posted, she gets up and slowly makes her way off the cliff’s edge and through the woods to a road. As she’s walking along the road, a group of people emerge from the woods, full of life, celebrating, and slowly she starts to blossom, as if small corners of her wake up to life again. There is hope. She will be ok. Life goes on.
Fellini’s wife, Julietta Massina, is the actress and she is, as she always was, an incredible actress, possessing a rare quality that was sympathetic, vulnerable, and almost child like in character. Hard to describe. Anyway, here ya’ go.
Sitting on opposite end of a see-saw makes no sense. What I meant to say was that the gestalt of Garrison’s clip might be on one end of a see-saw, while this clip would be on the other. Geez. I’m old and tired!
It’s a BIG club…and a whole bunch of us here are definitely in it!😉
Hahahahaha! You got that right. (And sometimes I worry that die hard conservatives are too disproportionately old.)
They absolutely are! Yes, true conservatives seem to be, although I’m doing my best to recruit my grands. And to tell the truth, I’m going to say I’ve been successful. I’m in their heads when I’m not physically with them, so I doubt they’ll veer off the righteous path…fingers always crossed.
Thanks Sarah, I enjoyed this clip and want to watch the movie.
I love and learn so much from treehouse dwellers posts, including yours Sarah Lee. Thanks again.
You’re welcome. I think the film won an Academy Award for best foreign film the year it was produced, somewhere in the mid ’50’s. La Strada is another master work by Fellini that his wife stars in. I’m pretty sure the full length version of both are at YouTube. And, yes I’m right there with you in your comment about learning a lot from other Treepers. I’ve been exposed to so much music on this thread that I otherwise never would have heard or known about, among other things…
Most of the post-WWII recovery in the west was made possible by America. In Italy for instance the “Italian economic miricle” of the immediate post-war years was financed by American Marshall Plan but made possible by Italian drive and creativity—by 1953 you could buy a 12 cylinder Ferrari with and hand-made aluminum body which ws built by some of the finest craftsmen in the world; men who, only a few years before, had been fighting the British and Americans in the western desert. Movies from that era celebrated life, they were stories Italians wanted to tell each other about themselves.
Oh, that post gave me chills. Garrison, you should write. I mean, really write.
Awww, shucks (stubs toe in dirt) . . . 🙂
See! In a handful of words you created a vivid feeling and image. You must write! Seriously, Garrison.
St Bridget (Brigit) is the most famous woman saint of Ireland. She was born at Faughart, Dundalk, Co Louth. Her mother was a Christian Pict and slave, her father. Among other things St Brigit had a great love of the poor. St Mel gave her the veil. She founded a double monastery one for men the other for women at Kildare, Co Kildare. St Conleth as bishop ministered to both and she was abbess of the women. She was known for many miracles. She has many holy wells to her name
St Brigit was buried at the right hand of the altar at Kildare and a costly tomb placed over her, at the place where the Church of Ireland cathedral now stands.
St Brigit is remembered on Feb 1
Cheers Lonestar, one of my pups was born on this day and I didn’t know the above.
Not that monastery but have ventured into others,
The Buddhists were funny as one called me a “warrior monk” !
Very funny story, might tell one day.
Cheers.
Mungrel, I totally forgot to comment on your granny’s story.
Been meaning to ask though: How many of mungrel’s pups got to meet and know granny? You only spoke of the one, so I’m assuming that one is the oldest and knew her best (?).
Morning, M. Don’t wait too long to tell. You’ve got us hooked on tales💓
Ah, yes. The warrior monk. That makes sense. Fits you. (smile). Would love to hear your story.
Blessings………
Good.morning, LS😊A couple of weeks ago, I posted a small prayer which she wrote. Had I realized today was her Saint Day, I would have waited.
The Patron Saint of Wales is St David. His day is March 1. The daffodils are in full bloom then, that country’s flower.
Yes, saw that. Will wait to post his story until then.
😊
Bore da, Betsy.
Yes, I remember. You got me started on the Irish/English saint days. They are listed in the synaxarion.
http://www.synaxarion.org.uk/Navpage/Festal.html
Oh lovely! I’ll bookmark that! Croeso😊 (You are a quick study!)
Thank you, WP. We’ve just handed our 2005 jeep over to a newly licensed 16 year old, who yesterday was in diapers.
I understand this all too well.
Good morning, Betsy, and always prayers for the grands 🙏🏻❤️.
Good morning, G💓 Thank you. St Christopher visor clips attached. I know the boys were listening to us because as the Jeep driver pulled out of our driveway onto the vacant street, he put his turn signal on. Good lad!!!
Off to Walmart Jr, as I call it, to get my groceries out of lay-a-way, as Juanita Broaddrik hysterically said on her social media site the other day.
It was so pleasant yesterday and now, I have to remember what state I’m in weather wise. Haircut this afternoon…my “wisdoms” are showing. I’ll let you figure out what that means😉. All blessings to you, my friend.
I know exactly what you mean, Sis. My beard is mostly wise 😂.
Have a blessed day. I’ll be running errands.
Ok…back from WMJr, where I almost had to be resuscitated aisle by aisle just from looking at the massive price jumps. Lots of blank spaces. Busy busy as either people have gotten the message about shortages…or stocking up for Old Man Winter.
Still the best buy there is their Italian bread in the bakery, a wider loaf than their French bread …more of it as well…both $1. We like to slice our bread for sandwiches or soup, although a sliced one is available. MUCH better than the sliced loaves as we do sometimes prefer thicker on one occasion and thinner the other. And it is very fresh and it stays very fresh.
So job done. And now we wait for the temps to drop 50+ degrees within an hour, when ever that your might come.
Honestly!!! Spellcheck!!! Should read …when ever that hour comes…
Yes, context is key to understanding, thank you for another excellent post.
Appreciate your comment gldn2th.
No doubt you are familiar with the Golden Rule of Bible Interpretation:
“Context is king.”
Good Morning Treepers ☀️
Upon reflecting on today’s Oswald selection;
https://sicem365.com/forums/7/topics/23430
The last paragraph….
“ He welcomed heartbreak, disillusionment, and tribulation for only one reason these things kept him unmovable in his devotion to the gospel of God.”.
Has me considering the following, what I consider life’s stumbling blocks are Gods building blocks. He’s constantly creating and building us into a type of “perfection” that is a welcomed soul in heaven. I can’t foresee what I need to learn while I’m “stumbling”. May take awhile before I understand the lesson I needed to. And then, all of a sudden, I’m miles ahead in my journey. ❤️
My teachers are more knowledgeable than I, does that make any sense?
Mungrel teach pups anwser is in question not problem. 🔠🔣🔢 !
Good Morning mungrel! 😊
Thought you’d get a kick out of this, couple days ago, during my town stroll, must have swallowed some Mexican jumping beans. They sure were partying in my muscular system they weren’t nice guests, caused momentary extreme pain before moving onto the next location. The good thing is I have a prettier tail now, almost as soft as a horse’s. 😂
Sniff, sniff, sniff, a bit to the right if you don’t mind😁 !!!!
Sniff, 😜
HSSSS. SWAT!!!!!!
😭😭😭😢😁 !!
Makes perfect sense. I will add, the lesson is not always for us. Sometimes, He is using us to teach someone else and we THINK it’s about us because we act like children, which is fine, as long as we are His children.😉
Interesting, old school. Didn’t think of that. That’s why I love my teachers ❤️.
Thank you
My jumping bean post was meant as a shoutout to mungrel. That’s why it doesn’t make sense in this thread. Still learning the ways of the webs. 😉
IDK Feral, you always make perfect sense to me!
Good morning, old school. And didn’t He bid us to come to him as little children? I find that extremely comforting.
And I agree with you about teaching someone else.
I used to explain to mine they needed to look at me as the woman with the machete who has hacked a path for them in life. Learn from my mistakes and at least listen to my advice (not that it is always right, but they can do their own critical thinking. It has to start somewhere.)
But as it has always been, they will make, have made, their own paths and mistakes. Still, somewhere in the recesses of their minds and hearts, my voice and words by grace through Him have been there. And I am so grateful.
How beautiful Betsy, and true. Isn’t that what HE does for us. HE gives us the roadmap, we veer off course at times, but with His Grace we return.
Sometimes, looking back, I think he placed His hand, when I veered off course as you put it so well, between me and the ditch I was headed for. In fact I know He did, and yes, by His abundant grace. Absolutely!
Have felt His Hand many times.
Overwhelming gratitude from me when I think back to what but for His mercy may have been.
Yes. I think sometimes I “use” my childish behavior as an excuse when I talk to Papa, counting on His forgiveness.
There are times so overwhelming, either personally or when I look at the world we inhabit today, that the only way I am able to come to Him through prayer is as a child. In simplicity and dependence upon Him. Many of my prayers lately have taken this form.
In a similar vein, I learned that life is really not a series of blessings. It is a series of trials from which we are rescued by God. That is the blessing.
Yes, yes, and yes, VM.
Good morning, Cat. What you have asked I have applied to my life in review.
The valleys are as necessary as the hills. And together form the landscape of our life in Christ. I’m with Oswald on this, as deep as some of those valleys have been. A wise man.💓
Makes perfect sense, FC. God has to get our attention somehow, and for us hard headed types we tend to learn the hard way, through tribulation. The story of the prodigal son comes to mind.
As a prodigal daughter with one of the hardest heads you will ever see, I agree.
hm. are we twins?
perhaps birds of a feather
😊…you know, LS…it wouldn’t surprise me one tiny bit. 😉💓
Good morning, Cat!
Good Morning grandpa! ❤️
In addition to, how’s the family, friends, etc normal greeting, did you get a chance to go to your church’s men’s group(think that’s what it is called) last night?
I sure did and Dale was there. Our pastor mentioned a very interesting thing. How the book of Isaiah was the blueprint for the Bible. 66 chapters and 66 books, two sections of the book of Isaiah, OT and the NT. 39 chapters in the first section and 39 books in the OT.
Then you can st art looking for correlation between chapter and book.
I have a bunch of stuff to do today. Will try to not step on any barker eggs. 😁
Blessings!❤️
Grandpa! The Bible info sounds like the first sample of cryptography and a treasure map combined! That’s really neat! Don’t know if I would be able to follow the clues. Bet someone here can 😉
Thanks for sharing ❤️
Isaiah 40:3 and Matthew chapter 3. Isaiah 40 corresponds to the Gospel of Matthew.
Thanks. ❤️

50th Psalm (Septuagint)
Psalm 51 (Masoretic)
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.

“God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.”
1 Corinthians 1:9 (KJV)
RANT!!!!
I’m tired of snow.
Rant over. Better now 😎
Saw the MB in concert once–I was amazed that 4 guys on stage could sound exactly like the album. Ride My Seesaw!
One of my favorite groups. They sounded so awesome in concert. Course that was in my younger days, could only afford seats in the nosebleed section. Had its advantages, although going down the steps was a little intimidating. 😉
Oh yes! And question, wildest dreams, and….and. They’re all favorites ❤️
Niiiice! Purrrrrr
Done with Hershey…and the fired employees have to sign that they will not sue the company??
https://www.theepochtimes.com/hershey-fires-unvaccinated-employees_4240297.html?utm_source=morningbriefnoe&utm_campaign=mb-2022-02-01&utm_medium=email&est=E%2FUNUld0fS%2F9kmUSIJ7LtC0%2B1rTM12pmMNWhEU7BrlRLbZtWDmRB54Ev2E8%3D
Interesting new. Sorta substantiates my theory, of being contaminated against my free will by their experimental therapy jabs. IMO I could sue the pants off of each and every one who shared their cooties. And that’s my friendly POV 😎
Fraud vitiates everything…so said a Supreme Court of times past. All of this abomination has been put forth as something it is not. Pfizer has been convicted of such with other products which, like this, have caused devastating and deadly results.
These companies must know this now and are panicking. Sign? Not on your life.
That makes sense /s!!!!!!
If you can’t “make” me take an injection, You sure as hell can’t “ make” me sign!
👍 Hi Leenie
Hi, grandpa!!!!! (You do realize that if you were actually my Grandpa, you would be 120 years old!) 🤣
Call me “sis!” 😜
❤️
…oh. Wait …not my Grandpa?!
LOL! OK Sis. 🙂
❤️
Thinking of changing my “handle” to something like “Wise Martiarch”. Leenie seems silly!
Hmm, I vote for keeping Leenie ❤️.
Okay! And I vote for keeping referring to you as Grandpa!!! ❤️
Thank you for posting this, NTPA.
Looks like I’ll be making another ‘notify of boycott’ phone call today.

Mornin’ infidels.
Just something I thought about this morning, US truckers should converge on Los Angeles, specifically the SoFi Stadium. Start now and get the area jam packed and grid locked by February 13th and make it impossible for any deliveries to get to the stadium.
They may be headed to the east coast.
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/02/freedom_convoy_to_drive_from_ca_to_dc_to_protest_vax_mandates.html
I saw a comment on another site asking why truck traffic was so heavy on I-30 through Arkansas.
That’s the direction they need to go.
My advice, for what it’s worth, (and not a lot since I’m not a trucker….). Stay the heck away from D.C.!
Ruin Super Bowl Sunday? It would probably not be a very good PR move. Fans who have spent big bucks on the game in travel and tickets very likely would be lost to the truckers’ cause. We can t afford for that to happen. IMO wrong target.
These fine men and, no doubt, women, must be absolutely strategic.
Hey, Betsy, I am amazed at the strategic and logistic planning that went into the Canadian convoy. Especially after listening to the interview three of them did. Rah may have some insight into this, but it sure looks like a truck driver’s job IS ALL logistics and strategy.
So far they seem to be a step ahead.
The one unknown was the support of Canadians. But they stepped up, too.
The Canadian government may think they are clever with “false flags,” but not as “smart” as the FBI. (The “glowies” are loosing their “polish, too!)
SoFi Stadium is at the center of two identifiable blocks. The first is I-10 to the north, I-105 to the south, I-405 is west and I-100 is east. They would not even have to stop. Just get on the route and roll.
Inside of that is a block defined by S Prairie, W Manchester, Crenshaw and W Century.

Bore da, Treepers! (good morning)
Buenos Dias Lonestar!
Long time Texan here. Moved a few years ago to far east Texas (Florida).
Long time Texan here too, with some Welsh roots (smile)
Of course, as you explained. Those roots run deep.
Wondering if our resident trucker, Rah, is considering joining the California to DC Convoy. CTH Treepers could kickoff a fund raising campaign to take care of his expenses and we’d have our very own inside man keeping us updated?
My star pupil🌟
Good morning, LS!
Morning, GrandpaM. Hope you have a wonderful day. Prepped for the winter storm? Should not be as bad as last year, given we learned our lessons.
We have…but has Abbott and ERCOT? We’ll soon find out…
All ready, LS. Got tons of firewood and a Kerosene heater that I bought in the summer. Will see what RINO Abbott does but this thing should not last long.
Have a blessed day!
Been looking at kerosene heaters, just not sure where I can get the kerosene so haven’t purchased 😕. Did get some firewood last weekend and am planning on cleaning house so both should keep me semi-warm 😁
Found in our local Ace several 5 gallon cans. Bought 2. Got the heater from Home Depot but it was all in the summer. Not sure what would be available now.
Diolach!
Bore da Cariad ❤️
😂 dumb puter throwing a hissy fit with the welsh language. Let’s learn more! Wink
I’ll have to send you to ysbyty (us-butty…school). And you better not cut classes! Or I’ll have to send the heddlu (heth-loo…police) after you!! 😁💓
😂
Ok…prancing around Walmart Jr this morning, it occurred to me I have misinformed.
Ysbyty is HOSPITAL! And I surly don’t want you to go THERE!! O my no! Especially an NHS one.
So instead, we have ysgol (us-gol…school).
Phew!! If I can’t get those two right, you’ll understand why I never attempted the entire language.😁
I sent birthday greetings to my friend today in Welsh. Haven’t heard from her yet.
Lonestar, don’t know why but I was giggling when I read this 👆😂
Me, too! Do you think Lonestar inadvertently, messed up? 🥴
Lonestar I’m sure you didn’t!!! It a delay!!!!!
Nah. I bet Lonestar did what I would do for a good friend of mine on her birthday. Send her a brain tease!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😉. Way to go LS!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful!! Did you explain or did you just send and let her figure it out? I think that’s just splendid💓
No, I told her what it meant. She is a mom with a newborn, so it’s hard to get her time and attention.
Lol. All good Betsy. And I learned an extra word 😊
Keep em coming if you want to. Love driving spellcheck nuts.
Btw, how was the fabric department in wm. See anything useful for our uniforms? 😝
Nothing, but then the Walmart I go to isn’t the big one, just my neighbourhood location.
😂. Me, too!

Vatican II Bishops Throw Around Rugby Ball During Induction Eucharist (Video)
https://gloria.tv/post/oroAkMwXFofm6BFxpeUPzDJML
There’s so much going on within the church, Dora, which I find disturbing. But this? Sigh…
This time when I thought wth?, usually a remark, was actually literal. 😞
Good Morning Betsy and Dora!
Betsy,
was Wales primarily Catholic or Anglican?
One either goes to church or chapel. I never understood the difference, though chapel was always Anglican. There is a very strong Catholic presence in Wales. Most people I knew were Catholic. And now that you’ve asked, all of a sudden I’m remembering how surprised that that was the case. I don’t know why it should have, but it did.
Diolch
BTW Betsy. I bought Nature Made Turmeric/curcumin at Meijers today. 450 mg powdered root and 50mg of root extract. We shall see if she tolerates it well.
Oh wonderful, rah!!!!! I pray she will, and I pray it works🙏. Be sure to follow the dosage table. Keep some ginger ale on hand for any digestive problems, though those are few and far between. It works over time so give it a chance. God bless you both!!💓
Incidentally turmeric has a number of health benefits, including protection against cancers. So do DuckDuckGo it and read about all the benefits. Heck…you might decide to take it as a supplement t for yourself!😊
Or just eat a lot of Indian food. The spices used in Indian cooking are medicinal in nature, turmeric being on of them. It gives “curry” its distinctive yellow color.
I would posit the that Catholic Church, like so much of our world is undergoing a “wokeness shift.” I’ve been to church once in the last two years…that’s when my local parish ditched the masks for one weekend. It was so gratifying to see all the people I’d missed. Then the talk turned to vaccines,
“Which one did you get?
”None…”
Everyone took a giant step backward.
The next Sunday, masks were back and the pastor put out a statement about everyone taking the vaccine that could have been written by the CDC.
My Dad, 92, doesn’t go to church anymore but watches his church mass every Sunday on T.V. One weekend, when I was visiting him, I watched with him. Watching Mass in the family room means you can comment on things. “What the heck did he just say??!!”
I have an older friend who is a convert from a Protestant denomination and he thinks Pope Francis is the best! We have agreed not to discuss that, for the sake of a friendship. (Although, sometimes I can’t keep my big mouth shut and he vows never to talk to me again…)
The Catholic Church was such a huge part of my life growing up, The Triduum (sp?), Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, advent, Sacraments, And especially the memories of deceased family members who were at these occasions with my siblings, parents, and I.
So I’ve come to a point where I do what I’m able to do, without putting dear friends in awkward situations. No more getting up every Sunday, showering, putting on my “Sunday go to meeting” clothes, quit the choir (Ever try to sing with a mask on?) No more cantoring at funerals or weddings, (Singing through a mask makes me dizzy!)
I wonder if God is disappointed that I’m not following the “rules.”
I also wonder if he looks at the “rules,” and says, “No, not what I meant.”
I wonder if Jesus sees this mess and says to his Dad, “Holy Heaven, how did they get there?”
Who would have thought, at this age in me life I’m having a “religious crises?”
A “religious crisis,” not a crisis of faith.
There are a lot of people in the Treehouse who are devoted and devout, who give me hope.
Not a rant…more an unburdening.
There are still some conservative Catholic parishes around. Look for one that still does the Latin Mass. Or you could visit a conservative (convert) Orthodox church. There are still a few of those around too.
Please do not misunderstand me if I stated my comment poorly. I am not looking for a “conservative Catholic parish.”
I am guessing from your response, that you are older than I. There is a parish that still does the Latin Mass in our state, and as a choir member, I have gone to sing at their services. I take pride in knowing the Latin. (I was raised on it as a 6 year old!)
Also, as a child of Vatican 2, when the vernacular became the norm, it included more people into the beauty of services, most specifically, the mass.
I think you missed my point.
This is not a “religion”issue. It has become a political issue.
Sisters have fun in the snow!

50+ Happily Positive Thoughts for the Day – Good Morning Quote
Thanks for posting this. I couldn’t find my copy.
Good day Ms Idaho ❤️
Back at’cha
One of the nice things about an arid climate is that the sun works its magic and ‘evaporates’ the snow and ice. We had shadows earlier – now the clouds are pushing in.
Solar gain still helps tho 🙂
The bad thing about arid climates is they periodically have long term severe droughts.
hubby from Ga, I’m from Detroit. Lived in parts of MI, Wi, Ok, DC, CO – traveled to or thru most states except the NE.
We LOVE eastern Idaho. Still have cold. Still have hot. But then, so does everybody else
What always bothered me about Colorado Springs (when we lived there) is they exploded their building in the wet years – then cried the blues when there was no snow in the mountains.
My cousin in Las Vegas says Lake Mead is nearly dry – thank you builders downstream …
Now I’ll think of you two every time I ever hear this 😊
ha ha ha ha ha
the only problem is – we lived full time in a 40 ft motorhome – avoided hotels and motels
our ‘camping’ didn’t include any inconveniences either
We did occasionally partake of restaurant fare
I just liked the “I’ve been everywhere and then all the states named” and thought of your wonderful adventures ❤️
I got in this morning at 10:00. I went down to Spring Hill and pulled up next to the guard rail to take my 10 hour break at 03:00 Monday morning. I was not supposed to deliver until 13:00.
At 06:00 there was banging on my truck door. It was a guy from TENNECO telling me that they thought they needed the parts I had right away and to back into dock 7. I gave him the paperwork and got up and dressed and did as he said. I did it still showing myself in the Sleeper Berth on the E-log.
1 hour later they had me unloaded. I pulled out and pulled to the guardrail again and ate chicken salad on crackers and a can of Doles Tropical fruit and then tried to go back to sleep. I only slept 3 hours more and could do no more.
I departed TENNECO to arrive at the BASF/XPO logistics facility by the airport in Huntsville, AL on time for my 16:00 load time. I arrived there at 15:30. Upon arrival, as is my practice, I put myself ON DUTY LOADING and went in and went through their program to check in which includes filling out a form with Truck number and license plate number and state, Trailer number and license plate number and state, and Drivers license number and state. On the form you also give your cell number so they can call you when they are ready for you.
Well it turned out that the girl up front was a cheerful but incompetent type. You run into some of them these days. I was told that they had only 2 workers picking and loading when they usually have 7.
As soon as I got back to the truck I entered OFF DUTY on my log. It was over 4 hours after that I finally was loaded and pulling out of the door.
Since I did not have the minimum of 7 hours left out of my allowable 14 hour duty time I needed to drive back to the terminal in Andreson, I idled back behind the building leaving my log on OFF DUTY and parked to log another 10 hour break.
I got five hours sleep. Then I was up and getting some coffee down my neck before Logging my pre-trip and heading home. It was 02:15 local time when I departed. On the upside that meant that I missed the Nashville, TN morning rush but hit the Louisville, KY morning rush. That is a trade I’ll make every time! I drove straight back without stopping.
Upon arrival at the terminal in Anderson I took the paperwork in and was assigned dock 48. Before going back out to dock I went in to see Josh. I was not surprised to learn I am departing for the Chicago area at 04:00 tomorrow morning. And that IF I can get there and back within my 14 hours I will be doing the same run Thursday and Friday.
I did an extra special post trip inspection on my truck while fueling and then parked it.
Though I may have to deal with heavy snow going up, at least I will be above the freezing rain line which going to hit this area and south. We shall see what happens. If I don’t make it, it will probably be because they shut down I-65 or there are accidents because a loaded big truck can deal with pretty deep snow better than most 4-wheelers.
So once again I go where the snow is deepest. Not anything I haven’t done before. And at least it is not that far.
/
When I got home I got in the FJ and went and did a little more shopping for my truck larder and then came home leaving the stuff in the back of the FJ. My old pickup ain’t worth squat in snow or ice so I will be taking the Toyota FJ cruiser to work in the morning.
At 16:00 we will have an early dinner of Tacos and Spanish rice and then I will be hitting the sack.
Godspeed, Rah.
If you ever find yourself in the Texas Panhandle, make it a point to stop by Kent Rollins’ Coffee Shop:
https://kentrollins.com/coffee-shop/
Will do! If it is close to US 54 then there is a possibility it can be done.
Ah….first long read of my day, and as usual, entirely worth it. Nice to put myself in your place and get away from the computer for just those few minutes each day. Godspeed Rah…..
My rant for the day.
Fauci, Gates and the communist Chinese developed the covid virus and released it on the world. Criminal. People need to be prosecuted.
I have a God given immune system. Its’ purpose is to protect me from viruses and other attacks on my body. If I keep my immune system healthy, it will protect me just fine. I do not need man made “vaccines” to protect me.
The government drug and vaccine approval process is corrupt. The FDA is funded 40% by big pharma. The CDC and NIH hold hundreds of patents and are profiting from vaccines.
Childhood vaccine and emergency authorization vaccine immunity from liability for deaths and injuries needs to be eliminated by our lawmakers. There are too many childhood vaccines. All except a few vaccines should be voluntary based on individual vulnerabilities and needs.
Control groups have been eliminated from ALL covid “vaccine” testing. There has been no long term testing. There has been no testing of effects on reproductive systems. All covid vaccines are experimental. None of these vaccines should be mandatory for any reason. All advertising for “vaccines” should include these facts.
I can feel it coming. It’s 50 deg. F here. The wedge of Arctic air pushing the warmer air before it and up and over it.
Notice where your dotted line goes near Idaho. The Rockies protecting us. It’s cold. No significant recent snow. occasional sun – lots of gray skies tho
Ridge off the Alaska coast is driving this train. And notice where the “H”s are.
I just hope nobody loses power because it really sucks when an Arctic cold mass comes in right after you lose power.
Now that you mention it – we have been in this part of Idaho off and on since the mid 1990s.
I don’t remember the area ever losing power – other than someone hitting a pole and knocking out the power for a few hours.
I am sure the folks who are used to warmer weather are devastated when the power goes out for any length of time.
Hope Texans are better prepared this year

Daders… some years ago I picked up a book called “Sekem” while visiting a friend’s house.
Sekem is an agricultural settlement in Egypt that was founded by an Egyptian scientist and his Austrian wife in the 1970s, when he returned to Egypt after studying and working for decades in Austria.
They tried to develop fertilizers that did not deplete the soil long term, and developed a variety of useful products.
For anyone who is thinking about fertilizer shortages, the Sekem people might spark some creative ideas:

Did you ever get frustrated with snow sticking to your shovel? Wax it. I use spray car wax. Quick and easy.
Same thing on the snow blower. I wax inside and outside the chute, and blower housing. It keeps the snow moving quickly. No build up.
Try WD40. Been using it for decades. Never fails. Cheap. Also try PAM (or any cheap cooking spray) if you’re fresh out of WD40. (hint. keep a small spray can of either in your coat pocket while you’re shoveling since the snow can wipe off the coating after awhile) 😉

What happened after Colorado?
So there they were, Lucky and her new hubby, in a small town in Ks. Doc was working 48 hour and longer shifts. It wasn’t hard work, just long. Emergency Departments have a lot in common with flying – long hours of boredom punctuated by moments of terror. Auto accidents, for instance, often involve multiple casualties.
Lucky was out driving here and there looking for new doctors who wanted to use quality nutritonal supplements in taking care of their patients. Challenges abound, When the doctor is not using supplements he or she does not want to and is not interested. If they are already using supplements the challenge is to convince them that the ones being promoted are better or uniquely able to solve particular problems.
The house they rented was old and in poor repair – but it was a really beautiful house. The owner acquired it after divorce and had trouble selling it. With their spare time Lucky and Doc did some clean up and fix up. The beautiful remodelled kitchen, for instance, was a grease trap waiting for a fire. Some expensive bathroom tiles were literally falling off the walls and lifting off the floor.
Doc kept in touch with the placement company and in late spring of the following year got word of 3 potential opening in Wisconsin. He was seeking more $$ and fewer hours. Arrangements were made for interviews. Lucky and Doc advised the owner of the house they would probably take one of the jobs.
Since they had a small motor home, Lucky and Doc prepared for several weeks on the road and headed out. What a wonderful trip. Wisconsin was beautiful in the spring. Wonderful places to camp.
Did you guess? Not one of the positions worked out. Each had its own ‘reason’, of course, but the end result took them back to Kansas.
Now the fun part.
The owner had put the house on the market and it sold!
Poor Doc. He had spent all the years after he got out of the Air Force in Pueblo Colorado. 25 or 30 years. Suddenly he was on the move. As I said, Lucky has sand in her shoes.
You can’t make this stuff up. They were ‘moving’ again.
