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 †

He is actually laying on the comics.
Sunday Comics have 4 color process inks. Back and White editions are not up to snuff.
As in “Snuffy Smith”?
Or Redeye,
Yes, as in “What’s black and white and red all over?” 🙂
Saving the funnies for the silly putty … 🙂
Thaaat dated us. I get the silly putty reference.
Niiiiiice
Oh no. That cat looks so sad and a bit scared. I wonder if its in a kennel at a shelter or something. Poor baby….
My exact thoughts. 🙀
First thought…
My cat seek out papers on which to take a nap. Bonus points are awarded if they are papers currently in use.
so true!
Morning, Lonestar!😊.
My experience with our cats which we have had and loved so much is that they are always on reconnaissance, just waiting until we were good and settled with reading material before deciding that was their moment. Who were we to refuse them? And so we didn’t💓.
I can relate. (smile)
With many of the cats we’ve had over the years, we’ve loved to do this following experiment. Set a piece of paper down on the floor and wait to see how long it takes for the cat to go sit on it. (Only a matter of time; always when, not if!) It’s like they’re hard-wired to be drawn to such a thing! Animals are so wondrous!
Oh, and yes, of course, just as you say, if the paper is in use, so much the better. Now that we have computers and keyboards, cats seem to have transferred this compulsion to block our ability to see what we’re reading and/or writing. They’ve adapted this skill quite nicely to technology!
I luuuv me some bony fingered prophets!
Niiiiiice
Thanks dubuhyuh-p!
I’ll be there singing to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thankful I’m there through no merit of my own, at all!
“… to the praise of the glory of His grace.”
Good morning Frank, the Revelation song started playing in my head.
Have a blessed Sunday Treepers. Know that Our Lord God loves us and looks after us . . . always. All we have to do is accept him as our personal savior. Honest.
❤️
🙂
Amen Garrison!
🙂
Wow! I feel at peace. thank you GH!
🙂
Good Afternoon Garrison, This does not happen very often to me but neither of your videos would play. They just said an error occurred. Try again later. Very disappointed, I love your choices of music and listed to most of them. I will try these again later. Please keep bringing all these wonderful songs to us Treepers.
Just tried to play video from the Phoenix and it would not play. Got same message of an error. Will have to try them later. Is anyone else having a problem with them?
I just checked and both played as normal. i’m using regular old Win 10, btw. I don’t know if Youtube is changing their interface to prevent cross platform posting or not. Anyway, sorry. I always check to see if the posting will play. Although sometimes the actual images don’t show, I always click on the link to check if the Youtube image and music will play. That said Ad rem has a problem with a post that played for me but not for here. Dunno what’s going on.
Thank you so much for checking. I have Windows 7 and do not usually have any problem with your videos. I tried them now and they both played for me. None of the videos would play this afternoon. Wonder if cth was having a problem? Again I thank you for your kindness in checking this out. God Bless You.
Years ago, TV was not available 24 hours a day, they would sign off and stop broadcasting in the middle of the night. Since I grew up in the USA near the Canadian border, the local TV station would play both the American and the Canadian national anthems before going dark and calling it a night. Even as a little kid I was a night owl, and came to love both anthems from a young age, and love watching them in the middle of the night on TV, … and some of the scenery they showed was really cool, too … (later found out as an added bonus that I’m ethnically part French Canadian, among other things).
So with the Freedom Convoy going on, here’s a blast from the past and the two national anthems for you to enjoy. Volume Alert: At the end of the American National Anthem clip, the volume goes way up as the test pattern comes on, so be prepared to turn down the sound … and then turn it up again for the Canadian National Anthem.
Thank you! I grew up in that era as well, when the Star Spangled Banner came on we knew it was time for bed, lights out. Almost like a reverse alarm clock. We never turned off the Tv until the test pattern came on, we wanted to hear the entire anthem. A fond memory!
And if it was on the weekend, you counted the hours until the Saturday morning cartoons came on bright and early … 🙂
Or in my case, The Roy Rogers Show!
Happy Trails, Betsy!
…until we meet again!!💓😊
Yes, Roy Rogers and Covered Wagon Theater with lots of cowboys and indians. I loved them all.
We can not forget The Lone Ranger and Tonto with their great horses Silver and Scout. Saturday morning was a child delight.
Okay, I go waaay back and remember ‘Sky King’!
My favorite cartoon was Crusader Rabbit.
…and Penny!
Many years ago I met the lady that played Penny from the Sky King show. We are dating ourselves.
A flashback to the good old days. Thanks
You’re most welcome, Anne! And here’s to a hopeful future, making Canada great again, making America great again! 🙂
I could not get the video to play but I too grew up with the Star Spangled Banner and the test pattern. We had the beautiful Peacock with all the colors in it. I am sorry I could not hear the Canadian National Anthem, I will try again later to watch them. Thank you for posting them.
Hi Marti,
Sorry to hear the videos would not work for you, am not sure why. Maybe clearing your cache and cookies in your browser and/or restarting / rebooting your computer would help? Or if you’re like me, closing one of the million screens I have open at the same time … * sheepish grin * Anyways, I hope you’ll soon be able to play all the videos here at the Treehouse that you want to see! 🙂
Both videos played for me . . . unadorned Win10 and Earthlink.
Thank you Phoenix. I closed the open thread for several hours and now they all work. Might have been a problem with cth since none of the videos would play. Thanks for the suggestions, I use Windows 7 and once in a while have to shut the computer down and restart it to get things to work properly. Thanks again for your help, God Bless You.
ROCK OF AGES
My soul, wait thou only upon God;
For my expectation is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation:
He is my defence; I shall not be moved.
In God is my salvation and my glory:
The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him:
God is a refuge for us. Selah.
— Psalm 62: 5-8, KJV
Hi folks. Thought I’d try to get back here every week or so. Hope you’re all well. My wife, myself, and Frankie the Cat are all doing fine. Hope you have a blessed week. … 1530
Hi 1530 🙋♀️
Your selection reminded me of my pastor uncle who could bellow this out in the most delightful baritone voice! His flock included the Appalachian townsfolk, the ones who went Sunday to a quaint wooden church with no modern heat or electricity. It was the most beautiful service I ever had the pleasure of being part of. Thanks for the memories.
So happy you all are doing well😊 take real good care of my second cousin snicker 🤭
Thanks for stopping in,it’s nice to hear all’s well and have a blessed week 1530. ❤️
Good morning, Cat. I thrill over a baritone voice. A good one gets my attention. Second to that is a well trained bass.
I bet your uncle’s parishioners were wrapped up warm, warmer, warmest. I can feel the Appalachian cold through your description.
My first Christmas abroad, my husband and I went o hear a performance of “Messiah” in Chester Cathedral in England, just across the border from Wales. As we waited outside to get in, I noticed people who were waiting with us were carrying blankets. And little ole naive Texas me thought how odd, which morphed into what do they know that I don’t. I soon found out.
The Cathedral is massive, as they do tend to be, built hundreds and hundreds of years ago, and even though industrial heaters had been set up, it was Appalachian cold. How the choir and orchestra managed their splendid performance was a mystery to me then as now.
Good Morning Betsy!
What a wonderful experience you had in the Chester Cathedral! You have quite an unique way of taking one there through your eloquent choice of wording! I can see you there as clear as day. The spirit of God keeping all his followers warm ❤️
It’s a magnificent cathedral. Right outside of Chester is the vast VAST estate of the Duke of Westminster, the richest man in Britain at one time, and may indeed still be. On that estate is the most wonderful Garden Centre, or nursery to us. All manner of plants, trees, paving stones, little specialty shops purveying antiques and statuary for the garden…and a place (big) to have a cup of tea and a bacon butty (sandwich), or even a meal.
But it is the way the whole thing is laid out…winding leafy paths where the plants are displayed for purchase. A veritable maze of paths, under huge trees, taking one who knows where. Perfect for finding the next botanical treasure for one’s garden. We never went and came away without something to add to ours.
And at Christmas, trees and the most fabulous selection of ornaments you can imagine, Advent calendars, lights, decorations…the lot. A wonderland. We always bought our tree there and covered it with olde world ornaments and beaded garlands so that if you saw it, you’d swear you were in Victorian times. No candles on the tree, I hasten to add, as was done in those times. That way, disaster lay.
An interesting fact. The presence or not of a cathedral determines whether a place is designated as a town (without) or a city (with), no matter the population size. I found that fascinating.
I’m adopting you as my unofficial tour guide. 😉
😊👍
me too
What a jolly time we’d have.😊
Good morning Betsy! That’s while I prefer the Texas winters. Usually if you wait a couple of days it will get warm again. Having grown up in a place with long snowy winters I don’t care for my feet to be wet and cold all of the time.
you know, had to walk to school in 10 feet of snow, uphill both ways. 😂❤️
Morning, GrandpaM!! 💓Except below, rah has alerted normally aware me that those fellow Texans above you are going to get socked but good by Old Man Winter later this week. Grrrrrrrr…
Be sure you tell your two grands that walk to school story. Embellish a little. My husband wore short pants all his young school days including his early morning bike rounds, freezing snowy cold or not…in England. He says it never bothered him.
I learned. the same. lesson about cold cathedrals from attending service at the 1000 year old cathedral in Cologne (or Koln). ( which is still not finished, by the way <grin>)
Ha!! When I left Britain, I was aware it had not. But we’ve been back 15 years now…and I lost track. So still a work in progress, is it? Shame on them. So unlike the very efficient Germans.😊
Good morning, FC! Hope you are curled up in a warm place this morning ❤️.
Good Morning grandpa!
Staying warm and dry! I even got my bread wrappers out to put in my snow boots to stay dryer. 😝
Blessed Sunday, 1530, to you and your wife…and Frankie. All is well in the branches seeing you this day.
One of the best names among hymn writers: Augustus Montague Toplady.
I once told my wife that Augustus Montague would be a great name for another child. “Not gonna happen,” she said with the possible multiple meanings intended.
It would have worked brilliantly in Britain…especially if you could have added a Lord, or even an The Honourable, in front of it. Now THAT would have worked! 😊
Magnificent choice 1530! Good morning and good to see you. I caught a glimpse of you on another thread a day or 2 ago.
hello 1530. glad to hear all is well
blessings
Let’s go to Barcelona. . . The most amazing thing for me as a former teacher is that this fantastic academic program at the Saint Andreu is a part of the municipal education program of Barcelona. That would never happen here in America. Enjoy, Treepers!
One more . . . This is for Betsy. 🙂
I love you, Garrison💓 You are a truly beloved gentleman, a scholar, and a man of his word. Bless you and your lovely wife🙏😊
Thank you!!
I really like the second one, “O grande amor”, and could listen to it repeatedly many times in a row. It’s just the right blend of slightly edgy liveliness with relaxing comfort somehow.
Honestly, I like everything Juan Chamorro does. The fact that he takes talented youngsters and turns them into real jazz musicians is just amazing. The guy is a superb teacher. The kids are so lucky to have him in their lives at that age.
Were you a music teacher? (Not that you have any obligation to share, but since you mentioned you were a teacher.)
No. But I did study talent and virtuosity. I was mainly interested in the interplay between ability and identity. To be a virtuoso you need both. This is why I’ve been so interested in Chamorro’s videos—he gets it better than most and it really shows up when a bunch of 16-17 year olds can play that level of straight ahead jazz
Thanks for sharing that. You are a very interesting person. And I agree that people who can mentor young people in music (or anything for that matter) to bring out the very best in them takes a special kind of talent. And it’s amazing when it all comes together ~ teacher and student making something come alive ~ growth, hard work, tapping into potential, and so much more that is involved in this kind of process.
For some reason, of late, a song pops into my head seemingly from nowhere. It’s not like I just heard it somewhere or anything like that, but it seems to follow me around throughout my day as if I have a radio in my head tuned to that one station playing that one song. Not quite like an ear worm, which is much more OCD, but more like a pleasant companion as I go about my chores. Today, I’ll be Seeing You bubbled up in the evening, so I had to go find it and hear it for real, outside of my head, and boy oh boy, it sounded so nice!
Enjoyed your post and the ear worm-OCD reference. My worm produced “In My Solitude”. A Duke Ellington tune that Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald graced with vocal renderings.
I love that one. A very melancholy one I always thought. I really miss the age of lyrics you could actually hear (poetry in fact in many cases) and the tunes they were set to.
Ditto.
Hi Sarah!
Wonderful song to be playing in one’s mind for many assorted reasons.
Very very nice!!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Yes. Thank goodness something obnoxious didn’t make it’s way into the gray matter and drive me batty!
Not sure if Admin is done for the night or if a post landed in “The Bin,” but I posted something with three links to very funny animal videos. If done for the night, thanks for all you do and hope you’re having sweet dreams. If still up and doing moderation, can you check the bin? Thank you!
Some OZ news :
Northern Territory dictator gunna ( dictator Dan’s bumchum) has just imposed mandatory outdoor muzzles, February is the hottest month of the “wet”, temperature is 30c odd but humidity reachers over 80% , I have lived and worked in these conditions and it ain’t easy.
In these conditions the muzzle literally would rot of your face, the bacteria alone would lead to serious infections.
Normally the biggest hospitalization is for infection and dehydration.
Excluding alcohol and violence.
Mungrels guess is the coming respiratory problems will be used to bump up covidcon numbers in both death and hospitalization.
My top end mates are telling me most won’t comply.
Thanks for the update.
If I didn’t know the end of His story, I’d be bummed out or angry.
By the way, I looked up the term Mungrel and found the definition:
“One of the coolest cats to ever walk the face of the earth.”
Made me scratch my head. Just sayin’. 🕶
Good Sunday Morning, Frank.
“A life in thankfulness releases the glory of God.”
Right? RIGHT!! B forever NM💓
It’s the fleas Frank, the fleas I tell ya 😜
He’s a sadist, Mungrel. He knows what he is doing and revels in his madness.
I will except nothing short of public hangings for all the twisted, demented, evil,satanic, peodophile scum.
So yes, if wanting to be the one that pulls the lever makes me a sadist, so be it! 😁
Righteous retribution, my friend.
Mornin’ M., I second Frank and Bet NM. When the bill that these wanna be dictators comes due there will be a lot of interest accrued.
Be blessed.
The unpaid bill comes with lots of interest pop, many want to be paid.
Take good care of the little fella, even this far away we fight for him too.
A blessing boomerang to you and yours pop.
Got a call today from my son. The little fella was bitten by e neighbor’s dog. They were taking him to the hospital’s ER. Of course, pop jumped immediately in his car and was doing 90 down the country road to the hospital. There they didn’t let me in because they allow only 2 people to accompany and Mom and Dad were with him. Praise the Lord he didn’t need any stitches just bandages, bite on the left shoulder and scratch on the right, and soon after that the four of us went and got him a chocolate shake.
The dog is already in 10 days quarantine. I think the owner will be searching for a new home for the dog far from kids.
Cheers
Shoot it . number one rule here, dog bite kid = composs .
Hope the little fella is OK from this end, I know he is in good hands there.
I still up for the computer thing, mentioning it perhaps will put a smile on his dial !
At the bottom of the page I left a post that will put a smile on pops dial .
Cheers.
Oh yes, we’ll definitely do the computer thing as soon as I have him here. Should be sometime this week.
As far as the dog goes it’s a lot less complicated to keep for 10 days in quarantine to make sure it doesn’t have Rabies. Otherwise the brain has to be tested after the offending dog has been euthanized, got to keep the head cold, not frozen until it gets to the lab, etc.
Cheers
Good gracious, G!!!! Thank goodness the dog missed his face, though being bitten anywhere is bad enough. Deo gratias indeed. Even speeding, I’m sure that was one long drive. So relieved he’s all right. I’m sure all will be well. Milkshakes have incredible healing powers.😊
Chicken tenders, fries and a milkshake work miracles.
Good to see you, Mungel. Someone commented yesterday that you had not been ‘seen’ and was wondering if you were ok.
I forget which thread….
Anyway, yes, they want numbers, high numbers. TPTB are not ready to let this go without a fight. They simply cannot be seen to be ‘wrong’ or ‘lose face’, IMHO.
TPTB want not just to win…they want casualties, lots of them…men, women, children. The more the better. Obedience, misery, and death are their goals. They are the dictionary definition of terrorists.
They are psychopaths.
And there are so many of them, Chloe.
Goodaye Aggie, good to hear from you too, I haven’t been posting on other threads, it’s a long story ! I’m still in the fight though and will be till the end whatever that may be.
They won’t back down now, no way, I wasn’t going to say this but try this move .
Covidcon has been busted.
They will be forced to drop the mandate bullshit.
Past history says war will be their next move.
To continue the control grid already in place what to do ?
Marshall law .
This then opens up all their previously set in place Patriot act laws !
This might be their gameplane .
Take good care.
Thanks for the update, mate. You might want to check the NT government website – I have a feeling that I read that they can just write a statutory declaration to say they are unable to wear masks. Just need to come up with an unmeasurable reason to use in their stat dec.
I also told my Alice friends a few weeks ago that the best option would be to overwhelm the system. I told them all to go out and kiss three random strangers everyday. Sad to report they have let me down.
Have a great week ahead. Cheers
Howdy Rach, I can’t see the stat-dek thing working, everybody will just have the same excuse, “heat” !
Don’t get sucked in to the propaganda from Alice, the food shelves are nearly empty but it is NOT covidcon, the Stuart is cut due to the recent cyclone flood waters, they are flying in food supplies.
Cheers.
Yeah, I knew about the floods.
But I’d still be looking at a stat dec.
Cheers
What the Northern Territory has doing is called “administrative freefall”. When governments or bureaucracies run out of answers or none of their answers work, they attempt to salvage things by throwing successive bad ideas at the problem. They know mask-wearing doesn’t work. They’re just trying to buy time hoping something better cones along.
You are correct, I just got a report in that nobody is complying , this sector will be interesting to watch.
Cheers.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

Rafa Nadal and Daniil Medvedev have just teed off in the Australian Open final. We were already leaning toward Medvedev, but after Nadal virtue signalled his way on to the court wearing a massive black face nappy, we are all in on the Russian!
Did you have your third jab vaccine passport to enter ?
Did the QR code work ok ?
How much did the tickets cost ?
Was glorious leader Dan there ?
❗️I wish were here. We’d have a blast. ❗️
I can hear the chant, Lesco Rafa!
I heard on the radio a few hours prior to the game – they said Nadal was wearing purple and green previously, and looked like Barney the dinosaur 😂
That was their way of encouraging people to watch.
Whether these are the End Times or just the culture war on steroids, the proof that God loves everyone is found in the pre-incarnate appearance of Jesus to pregnant Hagar. “Where are you going?”
Thank you, I really needed to hear from God this week and your comment led me to the message of Genesis 16:7-11 and heard exactly what I needed to hear.
Did I hear God’s voice this week? Personally and also in our fallen world, I believe the answer is a resounding YES!!! 🙏
Weather this week. Going to be a rough one for lots of people in 4-5 days. Very cold with sleet, freezing rain, and snow stretching from Central Texas through Texarkana and Oklahoma. Wind turbine shutdown is possible again.
The forecast band for winter weather is from Central Texas all the way up through Indiana in the north to Kentucky in the south and continuing in a band on ENE all the way to Maine. Snow in the north predominates but further south freezing rain and sleet is most likely going to be the biggest problem.
WeatherBELL Analytics
Take care rah, I could swap a little heat now for some cold !
I will get back to Churchill, I don’t forget.
Cheers .
I will. I will beat the winter weather on this trip down to and back from Huntsville, AL but who knows what will come later in the week. The thing is though I am confident that nothing I will face will be as bad as what I have driven through many times before.
Got up at 03:00 this morning and am getting ready to go grocery shopping with my lady. Need to restock the larder in the truck and at home. Once that is done I will be heading to bed to get some shut eye so I am rested for my run down to Spring Hill, TN a little south of Nashville on off I-65.
I also have to restock my seed blocks and bird seed. I filled the 8 lb. squirrel proof feeder before I left last Sunday but when I got back it was empty. Too heavy and too high for my wife to refill it. The birds really hit my feeder and seed blocks when the ground is covered in snow as it is now and has been through last week.
The birds are he best snow predictors. When they come into my feeders by the hundreds, I can know the weather is going to turn bad.
There is no squirrel proof feeder, only squirrel resistant. They are not particularly brilliant, but they have all the time in the world to try anything they can acrobatically attempt. Once they are successful, they never forget the technique and the others learn from the masters. It is a constant battle. I sort of enjoy it.
I have had this one for three years and neither of us have seen one that defeated it.
IMO the best entertainment is the chipmunk or squirrel who can’t stop spinning around on the Yankee Flipper. 😂
mark ruber’s attempt:
and here is squirrel maze 2.0
Now there’s a word I have never seen used here….larder. It’s a good word. Every house, cottage, and castle in Britain has one. In my sister in law’s 1600 built stone Welsh home, her larder is so cold it keeps food in perfect condition, be it leftovers or butter or anything else perishable for a long time.
Funny how seeing that word in your post, rah, gave me quite a lift.😊
Well, I’m well stocked again. Used my last baby wipe in the truck Friday and those are essential!
Other stuff I bought for the truck:
2 cans of sliced pairs to add to the two cans of Dole Tropical fruit and two cans of fruit cocktail I already have.
4 foil envelopes of Chicken salad and 4 of tuna salad.
1 small can of green beans
1 small can of peas and carrots
1 medium can of Lima beans
1 medium can of Baja corn blend.
1 box of Triscuit original crackers
2 packets of Landjaeger smoked Swiss style sausage snack sticks
1 large box of cheese a peanut butter crackers
2 of those round boxes of individually wrapped triangles of Laughing Cow real cheese spread.
1 bag of BBQ potato chips
1 small can of Dinty Moore Beef stew to replace the one I used this week. I have a couple of the larger cans in the truck already along with two of the larger cans of Chicken & Dumplings.
1 Cheese Danish.
There is of course a bunch of other stuff I have in the truck I didn’t need to restock yet.
Now I am eating two fish sandwiches and some macaroni salad and when I belly if full I’m laying down to get some shut eye.
Only one cheese Danish? I’m impressed!! Do you have a small heating devise to warm your canned goods with? Your larder is definitely full…well done.
It’s a coffee cake! I cut two pieces every morning and it lasts the week.
I have a 12V heater the size of a small tool box. I just put the unopened can of what I want to heat in it. It takes about 1/2 hr to heat a small can of veggies up. It takes 1.25 hours to heat a larger can of Dinty Moores stew or chicken & dumplings up.
The trick is putting the can(s) in of what you want ahead of time and plugging the thing in at the appropriate time as your driving down the road. Then when you arrive to where your going to eat it’s ready.
Now I’m off to bed to get some shuteye before driving the 6 hours+ down to Spring Hill.
Bon nuit!😴
Rah,
Yyyyyup. It’ll be cold here in E TX…but not too bad.
Some of my buddies think I’m an idiot for not slowing down. But! Just cuz’ I’m sore doesn’t mean I’m not having fun. 🕶
Am finishing up an iron ore road and parking area woven under mature trees in a large wooded area; spreading many loads of “Texas select” for a building pad; seeding some winter rye and fescue on some open acreage; finishing a french drain field. All by days end Thur.
My knuckles will be reminding me, “you’re getting old, franky boy!”
I’ll have time for getting some quotes out n reading for the next few days after that. Yay! (Lord willing).
Oh, I’m sure some honey do’s and don’ts will pop up along the way too.
✝️
Been cooler than normal for most of Texas for some time. Joe Bastardi forecasts that this coming winter storm in Texas is not likely to be a bad as last years but has the potential to be bad enough.
My wife has arthritis and the degeneration of a C-2. This weather just kills her and she did not feel well enough for the trip to Red Lobster I had planned.
I cleaned the fireplace and stocked up the rack with wood so she is set when I hit the road. She really enjoys that wood heat. Geisha the cocker and Gabby the cat love it to. I started a fire last night and both of them plopped down in front of it. Gabby always comes over and supervises when I am working in the fireplace. She wants to make sure I’m doing it right. And when I bring wood in both the dog and cat have to inspect it to make sure it’s suitable for a fire.
Turmeric (with ginger, capsules…available at Wal-Mart for sure and on line) has worked miracles for us, rah, in our dotage. Has she tried that?
I know it worked because we had been taking 2 at night, and our creaks and mutterings under our breath when we’d have a hitch disappeared. Then we ran out and didn’t replenish for a week.
I can tell you for our situation, all the aches came back, especially in the morning. Once I re-upped our supply, they disappeared once again.
Turmeric is anti inflammatory. It might be worth trying, if she hasn’t already. God bless her.
Thanks.
I pray with my whole heart it gives her some relief if she decides to try. There are various strengths. We’ve just moved to the 1500 mg one. Heretofore we’ve been using the 500 mg. But if she takes at night, my thinking is that it will make her mornings better 🙏 The ginger in the one we use helps ameliorate any gastric effect, which I must say we’ve never had an issue with even if we’ve taken the one without.
There was also something that helps the turmeric to be absorbed better by the body but can’t think of it now.
Just checked…heart health food (nuts, seeds, avocado, oils, a high fat meal, and oddly, pepper. Turmeric is fat soluable. There ya go👍
Can’t keep a (very) good man down, Frank. Be careful please. With love from an ex- spring chicken to another💓
You made me check. Southern Kentucky is predicted as cold rain, with freeze line just north. That is always iffy.
Tuesday is 56 degrees and sun. I might try to play golf for the first time this year.
Hooboy, Rah!! I hadn’t checked the weather on my phone. Here in Texas, memories of last year’s fiasco are fresh. Looks as if we will again be testing our capacity to stay warm. Abbott better be praying we can keep the lights and heating on. One more like last year and I suspect Mr Trump’s endorsement will avail him nothing.
Prayers for all in this winter, and especially you, rah, as you negotiate the highways and byways. Stay safe.🙏
Good to see you. Hope all is well.
What’s TN looking like?
The European model shows it below the freeze line but western TN certainly could see some freezing rain and/or sleet.
Everyone should realize that this is a 5 day forecast and that the accuracy of weather models generally decline quickly more than 3 days out. However, in this case the European, US, and Canadian models are showing more or less the same thing. So the way I see it, it’s going to happen but the areas where it happens could shift some.
So when I post these longer term forecasts using Weatherbell for my source, take them for what they are. A heads up to be paying attention to your local weather sources.
More info: The Maddan Julian Oscillation is in sector 2 which is a cold phase for the central and eastern US this time of year. Various other applicable oscillations are all telling the same story. So we’re most likely in for cold to predominate for at least a couple of weeks in the central and eastern US. Then, if the models are correct, the cold will shift further west.
Also understand that the European and US GFS models are biased towards forecasting the temperatures to be warmer than they usually turn out to be. Those of you that check out the model based forecasts have probably seen that.

You might need to look at a map for this one.
Trump mentioned Taiwan, I have stated here over and over that the MIC will war in the South China Sea.
My reasoning:
Australia sent peace keeping forces to Timor north of the Western Austalian coast, this was a non- declared war as the Indonesian commies had invaded Timor.
The area in northern W.A is called the “Kimberley”,
Sitting on a plateaus of 420 square kilometers it is the last place man has not f*cked, one of the most inhospitable places on earth and also one of the most beautiful.
This is Mungrel home ground.
There is a road that travels west east call the Gibb River road, depending on weather this is only accessible for a few months of the year, this road skirts the South side.
The whole kimberley is resource rich as it is the only place of its kind left.
I repeat everything that bites lives there, you will not survive for long even if you know what your doing.
Obummer came over with an open checkbook for military expansion over the “Top End” the tuffest SAS courses are conducted here along with war games in selected areas.
The globalist mining companies have been trying to get their grubby little claws into this area for forever, we managed to tie the land up with all sorts of treatys.
Since obummer’s visit the Chinese have brought up surrounding “Top End” land at a frantic pace even declaring it a future Chinese “food bowl”!
Remember the most remote US island base Diago Garcia ( my spelling) , flight 7 something, no word right !
The town of Kununurra sits at the West end of the Kimberley, a gateway of sorts, the biggest fresh water deposit in Australia Lyes here called lake Argile, coincidence ? No.
Back to Kununurra,seems that commie coward Gowin has been shutting down “Kuna” no alcohol unless triple jabbed, everybody drinks, one pub left, all other outlets shutdown, tourist dollars keep the town alive, big mining contributes F all except what worker’s spend.
Shut the pub down and Kuna will be a ghost town.
Enter covidcon , they are now talking about division of the Kimberley into four sectors , roadblocks and all !
What a great opportunity for the globalist scum to move in and take the biggest prize they know , the resources.
China backed of course.
This area is a mungrel foxhole.
Trump knows and let the cat out of the bag for me anyway.
My sources are impeccable.
More to come.
You can only draw a line on a map in this area.
Timor is not the 1999 venture.
Thanks for the post. Wish I could say more. 🕶
Chinese land grab, with the complicity of various countries’ “elites”, as we now know they refer to themselves, has been happening the world over. Even in Texas. There is a bill put forth by some spineless Republicans in our (small c) congress to forbid foreign purchase of US land. Of course it has no chance. Too late in any event. Barn door open, horses scattered.
Republicans are geldings in or out of power, talking tougher when they know their efforts are worse than useless. And worse than worse, always talk north and walk south. That’s the way they all operate.
I’m with Frank here. No words.
I will have to get a map.
School books of the future.
The World is Watching, Justin. Where are you?
St Justin ran away…last thought to be in sunnier climes…Costa Rico was mentioned.
Hmmm,he should be in Cuba. 🙂
No kidding. Close the (real) fatherland.
I got shivers!

American pie by don mclean. Anyone here that doesn’t know the full lyrics? 😂
Nice write up on McLean, even if it’s a fox source

his ‘Babylon’ is haunting
Never took the time to examine the meaning of Babylon, until your comment.
Thanks for drawing my attention to it 😉
Yes, indeed it is. In concerts he got the audience singing in round and it’s hypnotic and full of reverence. Whenever I listen to that song I am reminded, as with so many things these days from books to films to television programs, that no one would write a song like that these days.
thanks for the link. We had to get scooting early and I just wanted to point you
🙂
caution
If you listen to the song the melody will haunt you the rest of today
Have you noticed that Fox demands AD Blockers be disabled to read their site?
Why should the left bother attacking Fox? They are happily chasing away their own readers.
And No, neither Fox nor anybody else has a right to sell us!
Hmmm didn’t experience that. I use brave, had no problem. Good to know. Thanks
i just close any site that demands I disable my ad blocker
nuts to them
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.
Duchess, thank you for posting. Every day I come here, and every day I read through and pray on the whole armor of God. You are making an eternal difference!
Verse of the Day for Sunday, January 30, 2022
✟
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”
Luke 2:14 (KJV)
BE MY VOICE
BABY LIVES MATTER
Goooood Morning Treeps’!
I’m trying to prognosticate about when the inevitable economic corrections will “hit.” I’m aggressive and enjoy the thrill of hunting down more business, and subsequently finishing projects. Our businesses are excavation and landscape design and maintenance. However, due to lack of initiative by most young whipper snappers, I’ve been handed remodeling jobs, boat dock repair projects, various pump repair/replacement jobs, etc. etc. I’m able to help a few people with employment. In general, I’m busy. I’m profitable. Debt free except for real estate…by design.
According to the premier lumber outfit in my area, demand is STILL going up. Prices are too. They are astounded by the continued demand and wonder, like I do, how long before the bubble pops!?!
A friend of mine who specializes in house leveling and roofing can’t keep up even though steel roofing has gone up $5 per sq ft in the last year!
As a Christian I’m fully convinced it’s my duty to work. I consider it part of my ministry. It’s one of my delights.
My earnest desire is to please God and be a blessing.
I can make some very large equipment purchases with very little capital expenditure, but I HATE unwise debt. Right now, things are great. We’re afraid to advertise because we don’t want demand to outpace our ability to perform.
I need more wisdom.
Please pray for me. Advise me if you desire.
Much thanks! ✝️💪✝️
Prayers up, brother! 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
Boy, Frank, I could use you here in 817. Last winter decimated our lovely back garden. And now I don’t know what to do with it. I thought I’d wait out this winter to see what comes…IS coming. I’ve spent the entire summer staring at it and trying to envision what will work that the winters will do the least damage to…ARGGGH!!
We had the most glorious garden in Wales on a 1/3 of an acre. Bought a minidigger and my husband landscaped it all and built a lovely deck at the top of it where we could sit with our Sunday papers and a cup of coffee and revel in God’s glorious handiwork…in a valley, nothing but forest on the hills behind us and sheep in the fields surrounding us. In fact, that’s where I’m sitting now (mentally of course😉)…we sold the digger after for almost as much as we bought it for, saving us thousands had we hired one.
God Bless America , 🙂
Thank you jay 1776. I used to listen to Andrae Crouch as a teenager. Until today, I could not for the life of me remember his name! I would love to see more of music posted. Thanks again!
Thanks jay1776! Music has a calming influence like nothing else I know.

Glory to God
Betsy, forgot to share…I got a real hoot out of gov justice holding up his dogs rear end with a message to bett mitler. Made me think of your closing salutation,BNM. You Rock Girl!!!!
Hahaha!! I loved it as well, Cat! I’m in danger of telling people BNM is my given name😊 I love it!💓

Biden beats out brussels sprouts as America’s least favorite vegetable
Babylon Bee
Live service. Parliament hill.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 says it is illegal to discriminate against someone based on race color religion national origin or sex.
Headline: Biden says he will nominate only old white men for the Supreme Court.
Subheading: Progressive Heads Explode.
For Biden to exclude everyone, except for “old white men”, is flat out illegal!
And we all know it.
This is discrimination based on age, based on race, and based on sex.
So why is nobody concerned that Biden is breaking the law? He has stated publically, multiple times, his intent to hire a person based on their sex and race! He is discriminating against all people not specifically of his preferred race and sex!
OK so it’s a clear violation of the law. And every Judge & Attorney, in the country, know it!
IMO here’s the biggest problem.
Every Judge/Nominee who fits Bidens Race & Sex criteria and accepts the nomination is now complicit in one or more crimes. Worse, they are complicit in these crimes for their own benefit.
So. is there an Attorney in the Tree House who would like to take up my case to sue Biden, every Govt employee involved, and the nominees who accept?
Discrimination under Title VII of the CRA, conspiracy to commit Fraud, and Racketeering are the easy ones that come to mind.
I am serious, I’m in if you are!
if our senators were worth anything – (dems or repsubs) they would stand up and make noise
silence is deafening
But we know they are not. Laws are nothing to them or, it seems most judges. Anarchy always follows.
As to art and the role of the artist in society, here are two quotes, which have parallel ideas, but are expressed from very different perspectives:
“The artist’s job is not to succumb to despair, but to find an antidote to the emptiness of existence.”
Attributed to the character Gertrude Stein in movie, “Midnight in Paris”
“Recoiling from the discontents of the present, the yearning of the artist reaches back to that primordial image in the unconscious which is best fitted to compensate the insufficiency and one-sidedness of the spirit of the age.”
Carl Jung, from “On the Relation of Analytical Psychology to Poetic Art”
Has anyone here had experience in trading or buying/selling GoldBacks? I recently read an article about this in Epoch Times and they are apparently legal tender in at least a few states like Utah, Wyoming, South Dakota and, I think, New Hampshire

Mungrel has confirmed Aussie convoys rolling.
Along with the Truckers are citizen vehicle’s .
Current estimates 100- 130 thousand.
Patriots lining streets and bridges in support.
Yippppeeee !
Three main directions all going to Canberra .
City protesters are once again organising .
More later 😁😁😁.
lots of prayers fingers & toes crossed
rah rah and all that good stuff
Thanks ms idaho , just had some photos sent, looks the same as Canada but without snow !
A lot forget that the last big protest 1.5 million hit the streets, our population is only 26 million !
Add the stay at home support and these figures are massive.
The way things are looking this time the numbers will increase.
Much has been done behind the scenes that you mob just don’t see there.
Censorship between countries is of the charts.
I read the rest of “Lucky” but it was to late to post, like very much.
Cheers.
glad you read what happened to Lucky. I didn’t want you to think she was a quitter.
If mental thoughts count, my 2 cents are with you in spirit
time goes on – we are on the old and fragile side of the life curve. All folks younger than us have to fight for their future.
I am awed by what the truckers are able to accomplish. I can’t believe those ‘rulers’ do not seem to understand – if the trucks don’t move everything stops. Not my original thought, but true
I’ve always known, as my o’l man was a truckie.
Lucky never gives in , neither does mungrel.
I don’t know your age but I think I am a little younger, I fight for the children always but yes you are correct about the younger mob, here they are pretty good, they listen to Mungrel and learn.
I’m up for more Lucky history if you want !
Cheers.
I’ll think about more history. There were 40 years of good and bad times. Lucky’s gonna be 80 soon, dearly beloved is 88. Compared to what has gone before we are physically in a safe place (as safe as possible) but no longer able to fight any fight, much less a good one.
I was afraid after my tractor sinking in the swamp I should have kept the story to myself.
Once I hooked up with my mate we had some truly glorious adventures. We were the ‘joneses’ everybody wanted to keep up with. Then disaster struck both of us. I believe the house we were in about 5 years ago (until about 1 yr ago) tried to kill us.
The problem is, it’s not really possible to weave a good plot without both the highs and the lows. And, as with the story of you, your gran and young mungrel, bad times led to good times and now?
We are not at the end. But the present part of our history is not pretty. Tell me – are you really ready to know more about the life and times of Lucky?
In my humble opinion (to cite a cliche) the future belongs to those younger than thee and me. What has brought me hope for the future are the reports of how many young people attend the Trump rallies and get involved in ‘adventures’ when you would assume that all the school brain washing produced only more sheep.
The other hopeful report is that historically a relatively small number of fighters (like you) have led the fights for freedom. There are no words to tell you how much I admire what you are doing.
I will reply ot tonight, I am in an absolute rush, meeting with rebs.
Yay Team! 🙂
Yep, pedal to the metal,

Gotta feeling we should be tripling up on those prayers Betsy.
Look at headline on citizen free press. Looks like Canadian activist may be reving up.
🙏 🙏 🙏
lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
Amen
Amen. And Lord please comfort and relieve everyone who has been persecuted for dissenting.
Especially prayers for Julian Assange; for the victims of January 6 entrapment in DC. Please protect Pastor Pawlowski and all dissenters all over the world, those we have heard of and those silenced by governments.
Amen
Amen.
Amen.
