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 β

WP,
Thanks again for getting the Word out.
Maranatha
Good morning, Frank! Maranatha indeed.
I continue to teach through Isaiah. From the lesson today:
Isaiah 43:1b-5a
βFear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.
3 For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
We will surely suffer, but God will protect those he has called from destruction.

Itβs always such an amazing cultural experience of musical expression here in the Open Thread of the Treehouse. We are treated to the likes of Bach, Elvis, the Beatles, etc. etc. etc. β¦
So itβs a real thrill for me to now present to you all the way from Leutonia, the Schmenge Brothers, aka the Happy Wanderers, with their signature polka tune βCabbage Rolls and Coffeeβ!
Seeing that youβve survived βCabbage Rolls and Coffeeβ, hereβs another fine offering from the Schmenge Brothers, in the form of a βTribute to John Williamsβ and his famous movie music, featuring the themes from Superman, Jaws, and Star Wars β¦ with a few notes from Close Encounters at the tail end:
And seeing how Treepers also enjoy rock, hereβs a bonus classic from our Canadian friends Bob and Doug McKenzie and their special guest from the rock band Rush, Geddy Lee. I loved this song so much that I bought the album. Then discovered on the album was a track where Bob and Doug asked interview questions and left silence so you could answer the questions β¦ I tape recorded myself answering their questions, then fooled a friend of mine into thinking I had actually met Bob and Doug! P.S. Sorry for the Mountie on the album cover, the cover came from more innocent days β¦
Speaking of music, my better one and I enjoy listening to all sorts of music and as befits our very advanced years, we particularly like classical.
Now we have a problem. Is it allowed to listen to the great Russian composers?
I mean do we have to wear headphones unless the neighbours report us like they did for breaking house arrest during the WUFLU Planned Demic?
Advice please and thank you.
Dear Patrick Healy,
I have a confession to make. Maybe I’m not the best one to answer your earth-shattering question. I’m not ethnically Leutonian, so I wonder if it was politically incorrect to post the two polka videos? Someone might say I was appropriating their culture … But when you’re hungry for cabbage rolls and thirsty for coffee, what are you gonna do, eh?
Okay, another small confession … Yes, ethnically I’m part French Canadian. But only part. So it looks like I should have played only part of Bob & Doug McKenzie’s song. The question is which part? The beginning, middle, or end? Oh, I know! The instrumental, because the lyrics are in English! π
Patrick!! Listen away to everything Russian composed and performed.
As I wrote the other day, Cardiff Philharmonic cancelled a Tchaikovsky only performance as it would “be inappropriate at this time”. In protest I listened to him throughout the day. Twaddle and wokeness do not live in our home.
I recommend to you his
“HYMN OF THE CHERABIM”, sung by the USSR Ministry of Culture Choir
I will admit that over the past three weeks, we have been gifted with the works of many heretofore unknown (to us) Ukrainian composers who are never played in the wider world. Such beautiful music. But we are passionate about Russian music which to us is more moving and full of emotion as any I know.
Today I may watch the concert Vladimir Horowitz played on his return to his homeland after decades away. Besides the pathos of it, it was tear-inducing to watch his audience, many who were ordinary Russians who, eyes closed as they listened, were obviously remembering (young and old).
At the time this concert happened, the USSR authorities who gave Horowitz permission to return would not promote it. It was by word of mouth only that people learned that he would be performing. No dry eyes or empty seats could be seen. I highly recommend seeing it.
Thank you Betsy,
Great advice as usual.
Naturally I was being sardonic and have no intention to stop listening to good music – especially Russian. I find the best antidote to the New Word Order nonsense is ridicule, hence neither of us old – very ancient – fogies are muzzled or inoculated with the NWO toxin.
We have not had a cough or a sneeze for the last two years and are indulging in our high protein life style with plenty of natural supplements.
Oh I know you were…it just gave me an opportunity to put my two cents worth inπ We are the same on the supplements, ever since I caught Dr Zelenko early on. Have adjusted the regimen to include others. Anything to stay out of the clutches of the medical authoritarians for as long as we can. I’m glad they are working for you and your bride.
I always wondered how generations before us managed to live a long time without the existence of Big Pharma. I’ve figured it out now. π
Anyway I hope you’ll give Tchaikovsky’s Hymn a listen…I’m sure it was god inspired…those voices!!
Cheers, Patrickπ
Thanks again Betsy.
The real secret for a long and healthy life is to chose your parents very carefully.
At least it has worked for us.
We will continue indulging in music.
π….if only I’d known that was the secret!!
How to say good night ?
π…Nos da, Leenie. Sleep wellπ
Your mouth to Godβs ear!!!!! Please, God!
Nos da, Bets!!!
Fun music and comedy as well hahaha !
Mountie ?
I am thinking phoenix is referring to the mountie in the lower right⦠and, that the apologies are tongue in cheek because mounties are now the bad guys (to us good guys).
And you’re aware, Slowcobra, that when the McKenzie brothers are singing that high pitched “Koo Loo Koo Koo Koo Koo Koo Koo” stuff, that’s supposed to be imitating the Loon, which is kinda like the Canadian national bird since they put it on one of their coins and call that coin a Loonie?
So yeah, plenty of culture in the Great White North, which I wanted to share with the Treepers … π
Clearly you never watched Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties on the Saturday morning cartoons as a child! π
Glad you enjoyed the music, Mungrel!
βCabbage Rolls and Coffeeβ, Now if that won’t move you, I don’t know what will!
And the best part is, rah, it’s all in “good taste!”
Joni always to me had an ‘Angelic’ voice, I first head ‘Big Yellow Taxi’ at about 13 and fell in love!
“But now they only block the sun,
They rain and snow on everyone,
So many things I could have done,
But clouds got in the way. ”
I did that from memory. I may check it later.
This song was was written as a dose of reality on life. At first, it was:
Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way
Later in the song the reality of life sets in. It is not rainbows and unicorns. But that is okay. It is what life is.
So I played your selections today for Mr. Leenie. He asked me to convey to you that he loved your offerings! Me, no. I said to Mr. Leenie, It sounds like a personal diaryβ¦..blah, blahβ¦all aroundβ¦.Melody..nope!
Then came:
Help Me, Beautiful, Melodic, vocal perfection, poignant lyrics, a more disciplined musical style. Free Man of Paris, same!
He asked me to thank you! ππ»
LOL! Car on the Hill, Mr. Leenie heard the intro, then, when the sax started, he said, βTom Scott!!!β Mr Leenie plays tenor, alto and soprano sax!
Have a blessed Sunday, Treepers! Our Lord loves us and watches over us. All we have to do is simply accept Him as as y;our personal savior. It’s so easy to do. All you have to do is ask and you’re in . . . π
One more . . . Another good version. Makes you wish you’d been there! Can anyone recommend a good Irish whisky? See y’all tomorrow! π
Did you say Irish whiskey !
Glenmoregie, sweet tang but $$$,
Mungrel likes “Dead Rabbit” mid $$$, smooth gut warmer !
I will have to give glenmoregie a look-see!
I’d buy Dead Rabbit just for the name!
Howdy M., GrandpaM likes Jameson one of the reasons is that John Jameson looks like a younger skinnier me π.
Hi, bro!!!
Jameson or J&B, in an Irish coffee, 2 sugar cubes and real cream!
Had to stop drinking it straightβ¦ 101 pounds canβt do more than 2 shots!!!!
Hi sis, straight or with lust one ice cube. Too much ice locks up the taste. Old Bushmill’s not too shabby, either. Only difference it’s from north of the border.
On one of our trips to Ireland when we visited a Jameson distillery (not in operation anymore) I really coveted the giant two story copper still.
I get you about the 101 pounds. These 200 lbs can probably handle a few more but then my bride would be very unhappy.
Thereβs a reason why itβs called a βMeanie Leenie Martini!β (Quit that, too!). Used to able to do that as a wee lassβ¦no more!!!!
Balvenie!
Garrison ALL Irish whiskey is good, some are better than others.
And get the spelling right!!!!
That was meant for the Great Garrison btw Irish whiskey as opposed to that poor Scotch imitation!
Garrison
Just to be serious for a moment (now passed three score and twenty it comes harder) the big differences between Irish and Scotch is the Original one – Irish invented by Irish monks – is triple distilled as opposed to double distilled.
Then there is the distinctive spelling.
Not being a great whiskey drinker I believe Jameson 10 year old to be the best.
If you prefer a good old Protestant one then Bushmills distilled ‘up North’is hard to beat.
As an Irishman living in Scotland I am supposed to watch my p’s and q’s – but where’s the fun in that?
May I be the first to wish you all a premature (like scotch?) happy St. Patrick’s Day.
I would also recommend Jameson.
And I am βtriple distilledβ myself, because I am third generation Irish. (I am American born, but great-grandparents born in Irelandβ¦county cork)
LOL, Patrick, I replied to Leenie before I saw your post. I’ve heard a vicious rumor that nowadays all Irish whiskey is made at the same place, just different label. As I said above, I myself prefer Jameson or Bushmil’s.
And triple distilled is the way to go.
Crap, Garrison, Doesnβt matter who sings that songβ¦makes my heart weepβ¦
Can you find one that is bad?
β€οΈ
‘Fraid not. There are some songs that are just magical. This is one, I think. I posted the flash-mob in the bar because it just seemed to be so perfect.
IT was the very definition of a flash mob!! Those voices, those harmonies!
loved voces 8 enya and enya is almost mystical to put one at peace thank you
If you like Voces 8, Joan, give a listen to Prima Luce. Their Gaudete is the best I’ve ever heard.
Here’s another Joni Mitchell performance of Coyote. This time with Pat Metheny and Jaco Pastorious. Interesting video content. π
Excellent !!!
Thank You Garrison π
The coyote displays an ample food supply.
I am an old gal (72) who loves and greatly appreciates all of the music links posted by you and other Treepers here for my joy and happy memories.
Having said that… I just love this from someone new to me – but better than much contemporary so-called Christian music. I hope a Treeper or two enjoy it as well…
Good Morning Tina!
Beautiful way to say hello Tina b. π β€οΈ
Thank you and Iβm looking forward to more post like these from you. Fingers crossed π€
Oh, Garrison!!! I had to spend hours of listening to Joni Mitchell this morning because of you!!!! Now, because I love Mr. Leenie, and youβ¦Down the rabbit hole we go again!!! β€οΈ
Santa Barbara concert? Mr. Leenie said, βSexiest woman alive!β

Ricky Nelson records “Travelin’ Man”, which would go on to become his second and final US number one hit
13 March 1965
The Beatles topped the Billboard Hot 100 for the seventh time with “Eight Days A Week”. Paul McCartney would later say the name of the song came from a chauffeur who drove him one day. “I said, ‘How’ve you been?’. ‘Oh working hard,’ he said, ‘Working eight days a week.'”

NATIONAL K9 VETERANS DAY – 13 MARCH
By November of 1942, the military prepared the first Dogs for Defense for duty in North Africa. While they were gun shy at first, they proved to be well trained.
As the war progressed, Dogs for Defense was unable to keep up with the demand, and the Remount Branch, Service Installations Divisions took over the training of the dogs.
Over the years, the military, police, and rescue have developed a variety of training methods for K9 units. Their training is tailored to meet the demands of the job, and each animal and handler carries out his or her duties to the fullest.

March 13 Oswald Chambers
Godβs Total Surrender to Us
For God so loved the world that He gaveβ¦ βJohn 3:16
Salvation does not mean merely deliverance from sin or the experience of personal holiness. The salvation which comes from God means being completely delivered from myself, and being placed into perfect union with Him. When I think of my salvation experience, I think of being delivered from sin and gaining personal holiness. But salvation is so much more! It means that the Spirit of God has brought me into intimate contact with the true Person of God Himself. And as I am caught up into total surrender to God, I become thrilled with something infinitely greater than myself.
To say that we are called to preach holiness or sanctification is to miss the main point. We are called to proclaim Jesus Christ (see 1 Corinthians 2:2). The fact that He saves from sin and makes us holy is actually part of the effect of His wonderful and total surrender to us.
If we are truly surrendered, we will never be aware of our own efforts to remain surrendered. Our entire life will be consumed with the One to whom we surrender. Beware of talking about surrender if you know nothing about it. In fact, you will never know anything about it until you understand that John 3:16 means that God completely and absolutely gave Himself to us. In our surrender, we must give ourselves to God in the same way He gave Himself for usβ totally, unconditionally, and without reservation. The consequences and circumstances resulting from our surrender will never even enter our mind, because our life will be totally consumed with Him.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
The great word of Jesus to His disciples is Abandon. When God has brought us into the relationship of disciples, we have to venture on His word; trust entirely to Him and watch that when He brings us to the venture, we take it.
Jesus is the solid rock I stand… Good morning, Feral! Thank you for the share.
Be well.
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 βfaith my fearsβ 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 Iβm 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.
Verse of the Day for Sunday, March 13, 2022

βNot that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.β
Philippians 4:11 (KJV)
BE MY VOICE
BABY LIVES MATTER
“Your greatest contribution to the Kingdom of God may not be something you do, but someone you raise.” π
Weatherbells initial Atlantic Hurricane forecast. They come out with this earlier than any other source I know of. In April they will come out with a more definitive forecast they call their “Impact” forecast which shows what coasts of the US and areas of the Caribbean are most likely to be hit by Tropical Storms/Hurricanes. As far as I know, Weatherbell is the only one that makes a forecast like that and based on past performance they do pretty well.
Named Storms 18-22
Hurricanes 6-10
Major Hurricanes 2-4
N. Atlantic ACE 140-180
IOW pretty much a replay of last hurricane season. The number of named storms is once again jacked up simply because they have been naming storms that they would never have named before. Storms out in the middle of the Atlantic that will not effect land never used to be named, but get a single day puff of 40 knot wind these days and you’ve got a named storm no matter where it is.
And once again Joe Bastardi and the Weatherbell team believe there will be another year with well below the average number of Typhoons in the NW Pacific. There was only ONE Major Typhoon in the Pacific last season, and one other that was weaker that hit land. Last year was nearly a record low for ACE in the NW Pacific.
ACE= Accumulated Cyclone Energy
During a typical season the NW Pacific Basin produces more ACE than any of the other Basins and so when it is well below average the Global ACE is likely to be below average. Despite Active seasons in the N. Atlantic and the N. Indian Ocean basins last year (where tropical storms are called Cyclones). The Global ACE last year was only 82% of normal.
And of course, climate change is supposed to be global. But the snake oil salesmen and their allies in the media only concentrate their coverage to areas they think support the scam. So Climate Change actually just hops around the globe from place to place where ever there is some weather disaster to report on and there is always somewhere getting bad weather, floods, or droughts, or what ever.
They really are soooooo predictable. For example, this winter the Arctic Ice Extent had the same area of coverage that it did in 1992! The ice pack approached the northern shores of Iceland shutting down some northern ports on the island for a time. Did you hear about that? I doubt it.
But predictably a new study just out claims that the ice up there is thinner than it ever has been. They had to try and find something to hype about the Arctic. So now that ice up there is thin, no good, rotten ice according to the “experts”. Of course they claim it’s thinner than it ever has been but did not extend their period back to the 1920′ through 1940’s when the Arctic ice coverage was far lower than it has been in my nearly 67 year life time. But they had to do something because after all many of those same Arctic “experts” predicted that it would be virtually ice free during the summer months over a decade before now. And of course that hasn’t happened.
And in the meantime the sea ice around Antarctic grew substantially last winter (our summer up here) when the Antarctic continent recorded it’s coldest six month period ever since continuous temperature records began there in 1957.
don’t know if we are having a gale or storm as haven’t seen the flag. bar is closed which is unusual. trees dancing here on the Oregon coast. wind screaming and driving rain from south east.
Get used to it if this La Nina continues. The more I look into it the more I am beginning to believe that contrary to the current NOAA forecast this La Nina is going to strengthen, not weaken. And if that happens in conjunction with warming over Asia, as is forecast by the models, the contrasts in temperatures and pressures over the Pacific increases the easterly winds and that drives a band of precipitation across the South Canada and Northern US.
hope it brings more rain as we have severe draught. streams that gushed are now trikling.
On the bright side I saw my first two robins in my yard this year. They gotta be freezing their tails off, but they were there just before this cold snap came in looking for worms in the rain saturated portion of my yard.
No rain here in the first three months of the year. Lots of little birds, one robin female, one woodpecker male which I never see, the usual tribe of jays, our resident Mr and Mr Cardinal. The end.
I have had Downy, Hairy, and Red Bellied woodpeckers at my seed blocks all winter. Plus Nuthatches, about 6 different species of sparrows, a couple of Tufted Tit Mouses, Cardinals, the usual Jays and European Starlings fighting with each other. But the Red Headed woodpeckers we had during the summer disappeared over the winter. Morning Doves and Cowbirds feed on the ground from what is dropped from the seed blocks or my 8 lb. feeder.
golly, I do love the Hairy woodpeckers. they always make me laugh. we have many pileated. also great grey owls
We rarely see Pileated woodpeckers here. Saw one a couple years ago. We do get Barred owls though. A few years ago I had one nest in the big spruce in my side yard. Now that tree is dead. Don’t know what killed it but I’m going to have to take it down this summer. Not a small chore. It’s over 70′ tall. It’s a shame. A branch of that tree is where my 8 lb. feeder hangs.
I love a guy who takes care of our feathered friendsπ
We had tits and great tits in the UK, and various others too numerous to mention.
We always asked the question, with so many pigeons there, how was it we didn’t see any nests or babies? Eventually we did see one on a nest smack dab in the middle of Tue busy city of Chester, under the eaves of the second tier of a shopping area.
Its a shame about your woodpecker. Ours is also red headed.

I would like to post a warning about the month of April, because it has special significance for the strict followers of Islam.
During the month of April, rewards for waging jihad are doubled.
We have large numbers of people from Muslim countries who have crossed our southern border. The Biden administration has flown groups of βrefugeesβ from Afghanistan all over the country in the dead of night. We donβt even know their names, or where they have disappeared to.
Some 16,000 are slated to be delivered to Loudoun county as retribution for parents speaking up during school board meetings.
So, keep your head on a swivel. Know that the sight of a firearm, without ever having to fire it, stops literally millions of crimes every year.
The TSA and other such organizations have a very poor record of preventing terrorism. In almost every case in which violence was stopped, it was due to perceptive and aware individuals. The sheepdogs, if you will.
Finally, your most powerful weapon is your brain. You have an intuition. You have an ability to sense danger, when things or persons just seem out of place and not normal.

Beautiful, Jayπ What a voice young Own Mac has! I bet he’s got a wonderful career ahead of him. I saw a video of the very young Ricky Skaggs well before he became a household name. I suspect Owen will follow his path.
I discovered another singer the other day I was unfamiliar with. Tony Jackson singing the George Jones classic “The Grand Tour”. Oh my but he did do George proud with that one.
He has an extremely interesting personal history…a Marine and former banker who was encouraged to sing professionally. I’m glad he did.
Interesting…I was curious about Owen’s first name, one that is distinctly Welsh (or Celtic). It turns out he is from Northern Ireland, a part of the UK.
I’ve always found it curious that people from other countries with distinctive accents when singing, sound American. A Northern Irish accent has an Irish component to it but it is much harsher in the sound. This young man sounds for all the world as if he were from Nashville. Fascinating.

Love ya girl β€οΈ
Girl, Iβm dying here! (Iβm being forced to recalculate your age!!! π€£). Iβm revising it down to 21!
π³
3 different colors in three separate glasses of water translates in my universe as, no matter what we look like on the outside (color), weβre still made the same way (water). π
And π€« I have a very eclectic orbit π. Itβs a fun path. π β€οΈ
It’s Daylight Savings Time! π
Phoenix, I am not the grammar Police!! Itβs Daylight SAVING Time! π€£. (Iβve often gotten burned on that!!!)
Geezers…we’re all geezers. And there is nothing wrong with thatπ As such, we all have so much to offer, and the conversations that come from us are glorious. What could be better? One of life’s simple pleasuresπ
Just funning girls…..
Sing to the monkees melody βIβm a believerβ
I thought canes were only for the elderly
Then for some old fart, but not for me
Age was out to get me
Watching years go by
Products like “Depends” I go out and buy
And then I saw my face
Now I’m an old geezer
Not a trace of black in my hair
Going blind mmmmmm
I’m an old geezer
Having a seizure
Once again
I thought exercise was such a youthful thing
Seems the more I did, the worse I felt
What’s the use in trying
For the muscle strain
Now I’m taking “Doan’s Pills” for the pain
Then I saw my face
Now I’m an old geezer
Every place I’m losing my mind
I feel bad mmmmmm
I’m an old geezer
Having a seizure
Once again
I use “Dentu-grip” to keep my teeth in place
Wear a girdle now to hide my gut
Now my hearing aid
I have to set at “ten”
And I didn’t need Viagra way back then
Now I see this face
Now I’m an old geezer
Need a case of wrinkle cream now
I’m alive mmmmmm
I’m an old geezer
Out of the freezer
Once again
The melody:
π β€οΈ
That was hysterical!!!! I remember years ago, when My mother-in-law started called herself an old geezer!
It made me cringe because she is one of the most vibrant opinionated people I have ever met!
With all due respect and β€οΈ I REJECT THAT WORD! I am not a geezer, you are not a geezer, βwouldnβt you like to be a geezer, too! π₯΄
Inside I’m the same as I have been all along.
It’s just the working parts that don’t seem quite right
kinda like the lyrics above
When asked ‘how are you?’
I reply
I keep plodding relentlessly onward
Blessed Sunday Hugs to all Treepers
Funny, that. At 18, 20, 22, 25, people would do this mental game: β do you feel older or younger than you chronological age?β At those ages, my answer was older! Came to a point when it was about evenβ¦30βs , 40βsβ¦. Now my answer is Younger!!!! I donβt think I am aloneβ¦
I don’t think of it as an age – I’m just the same me – with lots more understanding and knowledge than I used to have – except for the iffy memory part.
And I am trying really really hard not to resent the failing body parts.
I’m in good shape for the shape I’m in π
My answer as well, Leenie…younger and way more alert.
God knows the world needs more lerts…
I’m the same, as you are. But like a fine wine, aged to perfectionπ
I say it sardonically, with a sharp toss of the head.
ππππππ!!!!!! Tis true and getting truer every day. At least we’re still here…although I can’t tell you the times I’ve caught an unexpected glance of myself in the mirror and thought he face looked very familiar but Yikes!!! A terrible realization when I realize it is I .
Betsy!!!! The mirror moment!!! βWho are you?β
found this and gulped….
The Guy In The Glass
Poet: Peter “Dale” Wimbrow, written in 1934
When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf,
And the world makes you King for a day,
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that guy has to say.
For it isnβt your Father, or Mother, or Wife,
Who judgment upon you must pass.
The feller whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the guy staring back from the glass.
Heβs the feller to please, never mind all the rest!
For heβs with you clear up to the end.
And youβve passed your most dangerous, difficult test,
If the guy in the glass is your friend.
You may be like Jack Horner and “chisel” a plum,
And think youβre a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says youβre only a bum
If you canβt look him straight in the eye.
You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,
And get pats on the back, as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears,
If youβve cheated the guy in the glass.
Oh, Holy crap, Ms Idaho!
You canβt hide from the mirror! Sometimes, you look into the glass and say,β There you are!β And sometimes itβs,β Who are you?β
That was beautiful!
Bravo π ms idaho!
Saving…and passing it on to the grands…I always say to them you have to be able to face yourself in the mirror. This is superb.
A real shock.
Sorry wrong thread so moving my comment to other one
I have noticed a few things recently that taken together raised a question in my mind.
First, Sundanceβs informal poll of visitors to his twitter site indicated 72% of those responding βlean more favorablyβ to Putin than Zelensky.
Second, a Washington Times report of a new poll that indicated that if the US were βin the same position as Ukrainians are now,β presumably meaning being invaded by the Russian military, 38% would flee while 56% would stay and fight.
Third, I notice some folks trying to say βgood morningβ in Russian every day on this site.
Fourth, when I express my support for Ukraine and opposition to the unprovoked and illegal invasion of Ukraine by Russia, I pretty much get flamed here.
So, letβs connect it up and put a real fine point on it.
If the US, like Ukraine, were to suffer an illegal and unprovoked invasion of our mainland by Russian military, would any of the pro-Putin folks here support a Russian invasion of America? Further, would any pro-Putin folks here actually take up arms against the US?
βFourth, when I express my support for Ukraine and opposition to the unprovoked and illegal invasion of Ukraine by Russia, I pretty much get flamed here.β
Soβ¦just to make sure I understand your point: Ukraine is the epitome of democracy, fairness to all of itβs citizens, no corruption what so ever, a president who is indeed a diplomat and a world respected leader, no factions in Ukraine , with government sanction, persecuting and annihilating people in their country, AZOVβ¦The proposed expansion of NATO right to Ukraine/Russian borders, Bio-labs funded by the U.S. doing God knows what, (The U.S.βs explanation shifts dailyβ¦). The U.S. media showing pictures of βRussian atrocities,β only a day or so later to have these videos and pictures proven to have been taken years ago and in other places.
βIllegal and unprovoked invasionβ¦β. Thatβs why IMHO, you get flamed. When are you going to Ukraine to help them fight? Iβll pray for you.
thank you – well said
I’ll count that as 2 pro Russia and against the invaded US.
IMHO – Trapper, you are putting the wrong emphasis on the wrong syllables
The real enemy is already on our soil. And the real threat may be from the neo – nazis – yes, the same ones that Putin is ousting from Ukraine.
Should you have an interest: Dianne Marshall has a nice recap of last night’s Trump Rally
https://diannemarshallreport.com/trump-said-tonight-its-time/
The real enemies we need to fight are well entrenched in the deep swamp
More good reads at Patel Patriot’s Devolution. Part 16 – to Xi or not to Xi? and Part 17 – From Ukraine with Love. Both (IMHO) thought provoking posts
DEVOLUTION – Home
If you factor in the fact that about 140 countries / nations now are part of BRICS, with their own banks and trading agreements and more, I feel there is a concerted effort to rid the world of globalists (nazis), multi nationals and world bank strangle hold on the world.
Yes, we are in WW III, a financial not shooting war. And more importantly, a God vs Satan or Good vs Evil. Maybe the evil will never go away, but maybe it can be beaten back – at least for now
We are talking past each other. It is not, and has never been, us against “them.” It is us against them, and them, and them over there, and them behind us, and them in amongst us.
My question is a simple one. For those who express support for Putin’s illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, however they want to rationalize it, if it came to a Russian invasion of America, when American lights go out and American apartment buildings begin exploding, who of you will support the Russian invasion of America, and who will go even further and actually take up arms against America with our current bought and paid for globalist regime?
It is a simple question. Put a check next to Putin/Russia, or a check next to Biden/America. Then we can talk about Ukraine.
I do not buy your premise that Putin has made an illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. There has been a lot of info discrediting your premise.
Rather than hyping ‘bad’ Russia doing ‘bad’ things to us, how about Nazis / CIA running drugs on the Mexican border? How about NAZIs running our government (for real) The Russia Russia Russia hoax died for me 5 years ago. I refuse to believe Russia (specifically) is our enemy.
Maybe not ‘buddy buddy’ friend, but not out to ruin us – or invade us. I do, however, believe there are active forces working to take us out. The multi nationals (Putin is against them), the globalists (Putin is against them) and the world banks (Putin is against them)
Russia is not going to invade America (us). They are taking military action in Ukraine because they were asked to do so. Along the way they are ‘decommissioning’ the bio labs (run by the CIA and NAZIs, I might add). They have safe corridors for folks who want to leave. They are disarming ‘fighters’ and allowing them to return home to their families, they are not destroying infrastructure (not bombing hospitals).
The US, on the other hand, is allowing undocumented aliens to flood across our southern border – we don’t track who these people are. They are being ‘delivered’ to all parts of the US under darkness of night. NO report I have read indicates that Russia has any part in that evil.
Putin, like our VSG P DJT, does not lie. He tells it like it is.
IMHO, based on the best sources I can find – not FAKE media who makes up fake war pix and honors a comedian
Dear Ms Idaho, ever get the feeling you are being played?
Trapperβs continual use of βIllegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine by Russiaβ¦β
andβ¦βWhat happens if Russia invades the U.S.?β
would indicate a person who has no clue as to the political and economic and cultural subtleties in the region. A person who gets his information from MSM or Klausβ¦
Forgive me trapper, you sound like MSM.
Ms Idaho, sunk cost.
Good effort, though, but you are sparring with someone who does not know what he is talking aboutβ¦and buys anything MSM saysβ¦.probably still wearing a face maskβ¦ (yikes I did it againβ¦back into moderation for me!)
Doesn’t matter. Others (like you) read what we both post and evaluate for yourselves. As with Mungrel’s posts, some is cryptic and some is to challenge thinking.
Maybe Trapper is right – maybe I have better info. Since neither of us is on the ground or part of the conflict we can’t really know, can we?
Personally I try to follow what our President says. Like the other ‘non joke’ all others pay cash….
I agree!! Neither of us is βon the ground,β Iβm pretty sure trapper isnβt eitherβ¦
As for trying to βfollow what our president saysβ. To whom are you referring?
Oh, you mean Joe, many of is are βtrying to followβ what he says, it gets more difficult by the day, and letβs s not even go to the affirmative hire we got as a VP.
LOL….no.
Thank you! I know I toe a fine line!!!! But i hope you sometimes laugh!!!
More than “sometimes” Leenie! β€οΈ
β€οΈ OOps!!!! Ivβe been in the dog house so many timesβ¦
Am I far off base? Who is this person???
I LOVE this from the Presidential thread

There is an entire beautiful long thread on the Presidential blog starting here:
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/03/13/march-13th-2022-presidential-politics-resistance-day-418/comment-page-1/#comment-8654914
Starts with Putin and ends with the Miracle of Fatima. Not mentioned: Putin restored the Orthodox Christian Church and has been fighting FOR Christianity….(posted elsewehere)
Well, that was an interesting bar discussion. Next round’s on you.
Nah – you believe what you believe.
I’ll just keep reading and trying to understand
Ms Idaho, that
Thread was beautiful, indeed. Lots to contemplate. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Enjoyed reading this, as all your bunny holes. They actually lead somewhere, imho. π
Its humbling to realize how much I do not know
So many here at the Treehouse with so much to offer
I try to be like a sponge – absorbing as much as I can
Is it ever enough?
Considering my choices are Biden/amerika or Putin/Russia. Itβs really a no brainer imo. Putin wind hands down
Now, if weβre talking President Trump/United States Of America, hands down, Iβm picking President Trump for the win.
Just saying. π
Feral.you are being very bold!!!!!!!!
π
HUH?
in the 60s JFK placed missles facing Russia (in Turkey, maybe). Kruschev felt threatened and put missles on Cuba to threaten USA. Kennedy took his missles away and Kruschev took his missles away. whew!
same thing today. west threatens Russia and gets Soros’ guy Zelensky to poke Russian bear. west puts biowarfare labs on Russian border which sicken and kill Russian livestock. west puts missles near Russian border. Russia puts up with it for 60 years and finally decides to keep Russians safe. Zelensky, et. al. keep poking Russia with sharp stick. USA needs a big war to deflect attention from its depravity.
so, Trapper, when you write the Russians are unprovoked I am amazed. as for illegal do you know Kiev was at one time the capital of russia. Ukraine is as much Russia as Virginia is part of the USA. chopping of the USA east and west coasts is what the west did to Russia. ROOTIN FOR POOTIN!
Merrie, conveniently forgotten history,,,,
“Kiev was at one time the capital of russia.”
Nope. Look it up. I now count 4 in the Putin/Russia column, and 0 in the Biden/USA column. Interesting.
trapper, wikipedia is not always the best source. look again and then go soak your head. Biden voters such as yourself often are not well informed.
Anyone know who βtrapperβ is?
Wasnβt he a character on mash? π
YES!! (Youβre killinβ me here!)
All (or most) of Ukraine at one time belonged to Russia.
Then it was sliced up and divvied up
Russia was OK with that – until the push to get NATO in there
Then Russia found out about the bio labs
Dunno about you, but I am not OK with them using Slavs for testing fodder
“them using Slavs” who is using Slavs for testing?
It was reported that when Russia went into Ukraine and started bombing they hit the airfields near the bio labs – so they must have had prior info (my assumption). They got qualified people into the labs (also reported to be run by CIA / Nazis) – seized people, data and began to destroy the bio weapons. The found animals and people ‘test subjects’. A number of these captives were Slavs. Again, my assumption, using DNA to target specific ethnic peoples. I also assume these labs are in specific countries (25 different countries) to test the targeting of DNA.
As my grandparents all came from Poland I found this targeting of captive Slavs more unsettling than the ovens.
found it
Looks like Putin is saving millions, maybe billions of lives
https://diannemarshallreport.com/hold-the-line-putin-is-just-beginning/
“Why did PUTIN and WHITE HATS clear these BIOLABS out weeks ago in special Operations military raids to contain the VIRUSβS and other biological weapons. The STRIKES youβre seeing now is the AFTERMATH. Do you think white hats would risk just destroying the biolabs and risking leaks of the bioweapons without first securing the pathogens/bioweapons? And why did PUTIN bomb these level 4 Labs across UKRAINE>>> in PRECISION STRIKES?
Hereβs the answer:
UKRAINE biolabs, Bioweapons are GENETICALLY MODIFIED VIRUS / DNA SEQUENCING ENGINEERED TO TARGET THE SLAVIC PEOPLE/ NATIONS UP TO RUSSIA. In 2008 MILITARY INTEL sources (white hats) leaked information to PUTIN that the UN backed GATES (MOSSAD) foundation / OBAMA was funneling money into Russia/ UKRAINE and were in the midst of creating Biolabs and figuring out the sequence genes of the SLAVIC people. The reasons were for future biological engineered Weapons that would Attack the SLAVIC population (Klaus Schwab German Bilderberger group/ NASA/ CIA /UK Majesty / Mossad ECT., all PLANNED to exterminate the SLAVIC regions from POLAND to RUSSIA to Southern EU Slavic countries.”
Suggest you read the entire post – gulp
Anyone know who βtrapperβis?
Pardon me, thatβs four for Putin, zero for Biden and one Trump card π€
Anyone know who βtrapperβis?
While I have seen βTrapperβ post at CTH for years, along with many of usβ¦. On the topic of invasion of the United States, I am of the sense that the βUnited Statesβ no longer exists.
Our former borders have gone unprotected by federal government.
Today I read an unapologetic article about the detention of January 6 protesters who have been denied video evidence that could exonerate them.
DOJ is targeting anyone who protests government malfeasance, and malfeasance is clear in multiple important areas. People are dying or being injured as a result of misgovernment.
We were already invaded, Trapper, while most people looked away as we drifted farther and farther from ethical behavior.
And the current ruling elite appears to hate us and want us dead. How is this Putin v. United States? (Or former United States?) I feel like I am ruled by Nazis. The rulers are racist, sadist, warmongering.
IMHO The three greatest things that the βBidenβ administration (et al) has done is:
A. Destroying our energy independence.
B. The total debacle at our Southern border..
C. The cluster Frick that has become our elections.
D.(do I get a βD?β The obvious and complete destruction of our country as a serious contender on the world stage. (Does anyone doubt that everyone is laughing at Joe and Kamala?)
I could go on, but, with the time change (π₯Έ). I think, I must now, to bed
You think anyone is in the Biden/USA column? Heβs sure notβ¦. Sorry, Trapper, Evidently (and I chose that word specifically) Biden is not βfor America.β
well said
This past week my bestest friend to the end, Cheryl, celebrated her 66th birthday. My 66th birthday was 9 days earlier.
For years — for decades — Cheryl and I have been telling everyone we know, and everyone we meet when we are out and about, that we are “Siamese Twins separated at birth,” and we are.
Cheryl is black and I am white, and we love one another more than blood sisters. Even better, we are sisters who have the same Father and the same Savior.
So to find this story a short while ago made me smile, and cry.
Cheryl and Raven, friends to the end, Siamese Twins separated at birth, and in Jia and Zuri’s corner all the way.
Happy Belated Birthdays to you both, Ravenπ. What a God given gift to have that one friend who, no matter what, remains lifelong in devotion and love. My mother used to say if you could count on one hand the number of friends, as you describe Cheryl, for your whole life, you were truly blessed.
Related, I saw a picture of two little boys both about 5, smiling broadly into the camera, arms around each other. One was black, one white.
The caption said that both had gotten the same haircut to confound their teacher, so she wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. I can’t remember anything that touched my heart more than that story.
I’m going to watch your video now, and I have some tissues with me. I suspect I πmight need them.
…and what should appear right next to your uplifting video? A similar story (maybe the same?) as I recounted above! Marvelous.
https://www.insideedition.com/kindergarten-boys-one-white-one-african-american-say-theyre-twins-who-look-exactly-alike-57223
Thank you, sweet Betsy, for your kind and gracious words!
I couldn’t not respond to your heartfelt, loving post, Raven.
In a mea culpa, I’ll tell you this. The first 36 years of my life were spent in this country. Fate or a Divine Hand led me elsewhere for a couple of decades. When here, I had an American view of others when I met them, though I do hasten to add that what colour a person has been born as has NEVER made any difference to me, as we are as God made us.
When my world was completely altered abroad, I never saw a person’s face or circumstances first. And I never will again. One of the sweetest kindest people I ever knew from my Welsh village and who has just passed away, would, in this country, be dismissed as a tramp. Tattered clothing, unkempt, stooped and loud, so loud one could hear him coming from a distance.
His name was Wyn “Paraffin”. He was so nicknamed because in his younger years, he used to deliver fuel. And in Wales it is a custom to add a person’s job to his Christian or surname. It is done with great affection and also to delineate which “Wyn”, ” Owen”, “John” etc one is referring to…thus John the Baker, Evans the Railway, Jones the Coal and so on.
But Wyn was one of those jolly, kind, giving people for whom nothing was any trouble if anyone needed anything. He was a fixture in a town full of loving people whose hearts were the first thing showing. His funeral was attended by hundreds for whom he was a daily blessing. The town is the poorer for his being gone.
In short, for me appearances of any kind ceased to matter. And I’m grateful, in part because as I’m no beauty queen and as I stuck out like a sore thumb as an American there, I was a real standout I can tell you…and I was accepted from the minute I arrived. I met many many people from so many countries while I was there…all shapes, sizes, colours. People are people are all God’s beloved children. π
Anyway, I left this country one person and came back another. Such a blessing.
I’ve gone on too long, but your post really caused me to look back. So I’ll just leave this…
“People are like books:
Some deceive you with their cover and others surprise you with their content.”
Maybe one of the truest things I’ve ever read. Bless you and Cheryl, Raven.π€
Another interesting piece on the Russia/Ukraine invasion from a link on Revolver. I don’t know the site or the author, but his analysis seems particularly well informed.
https://www.intellinews.com/comment-eastern-ukraine-is-close-to-falling-but-putin-now-needs-a-peace-fast-237784/?source=ukraine
interesting read. I have no good background to understand the military side and discussion.
Here is a counter view – should you want it
https://diannemarshallreport.com/ukraine-russia-update/
Trapper is not intrestedβ¦
trapper works for CNN. doesn’t get paid much
OMG!!!!! π€£
Hmmm βI donβt know the site or the authorβ¦β Enough saidβ¦
Trapper, Up your game.
You wonder why people on the site βflameβ you?
This is whyβ¦Youβre not doing your arguments any favors. People here are diligent in research and donβt buy, βLook what I found on the inter webs! Itβs the truth!β
I got to that article through a link on Revolver News (Revolver link below). There are news sites and content sites in which I have a certain level of confidence that they screen out the ignorant, the crackpots, and fakeery. Revolver is one.
So are Conservative Treehouse, Claremont Review of Books, Chronicles Magazine, The Imaginative Conservative, Intellectual Takeout, The American Mind, American Greatness, Gateway Pundit, Big League Politics, Breitbart, Ace of Spades, Lucianne, and to a certain degree taking into account their explicit bias Foreign Affairs and The American Conservative.. And on Fox I only watch Tucker Carlson. I check them, ALL of them, every day. I have way too much free time on my hands. Have a great week. And I’m done with this thread.
https://www.revolver.news/
Great! get a life, trapper.
NOT LETTING YOU OFF THAT EASY!!!!
Well Done! (Not so sure about Breitbart any more..)Gateway Punditβ¦so far so goodβ¦jury is out.β¦Ace of Spadesβ¦Sefton has not had a stellar record of prediction, but who does.? His commentary is spicy! Add American Thinker to your list, but some of their contributors have become iffyβ¦. That combined with the fact they no longer allow comments. Two or three of the contributors, I have made contact with through their offering of email addresses.
Tucker is now the only one I will check in on on FOXβ¦ used to watch The Five, then they went full MSM! No debate, no alternative views, all βUKRAINE GOOD, RUSSIA, BAD.β
GUTFELD! Is late night comedy as it used it be before βpolitical correctnessβ became the norm (George Carlin would have SPIT!!!!)
I check the AMThinker daily – read only some of the posts. Gateway Pundit – only if it sounds like a good link from a treeper. NO FAUX. Only local news – and usually for the WX. Our apartment provides DirectTV – and I see that OANN is still a choice.
I check Dianne Marshall Daily (don’t read all her posts) and MaineRepublicEMailReports – Anna (from Alaska) and Dianne have info not found elsewhere. NaturalNews is the same, but Mike Adams tends towards sensationalism. That said, most of what he predicts does come true. ConservativeHardline is a fairly recent addition.
That said, the place to come for any and all news is TheConservativeTreehouse (IMHO). Sundances posts top them all – and the treeper comments to all posts lead to good news details.
Then, of course, there is the great love of devout posters at the One And Only Open Thread
Love you all
Don’t be so hard on Trapper. He does list a broad spectrum of ‘sources’. You should recognize that we all tend to read info that matches our view of things – and we tend to reject that which does NOT.
Because we have a different view doesn’t make him wrong and us right. Ain’t none of gonna know the outcome until it ends.
I posted this from a friend of mine from long ago (he’s no longer with us).
People are no dam good – except you and me.
Looking me in the eye
And I’m not to sure about you!
embarrassed laughter from others in the room …
quoting you “People are no dam good – except you and me.”
I once saw a tattered bumper sticker hanging off an old battered black dented pick-up and I am still laughing which goes along with your quote. bumper sticker: I’M OKAY YOU’RE A SHITHEAD
ms Idaho, I hope you think it funny too. merrie
newest bumper sticker: ARE YOU AN AMERICAN OR A DEMOCRAT
love ’em both
thing is – they are TRUE!
not sure both are true. you and I, ms Idaho are not shitheads. you and I are okay. it is the others who are…
Trapper.. NUANCE!!! I have to assume you do have a lot of free time on your handsβ¦guessing you are in your late 50βs to early 70βs (the Treehouse demographic). We are a kind bunch. AND not stupid. Site sources, present your position, and go from thereβ¦
Most impressive list..Too bad you havenβt read them because we doβ¦.
Sundance has a new post re: Sunday talks and an attack that took place in Ukraine.
It reinforces my conviction that $$ and arms will not be able to get into Ukraine.
Can’t come by air – runways have holes in them
Can’t come by boat – ports are seized
Cant’ come by land – borders are controlled
Can’t come by bank – banks & internet shut down or controlled
“The military compound in Lviv, which is only 15 miles from the border with Poland, was being used as a military βtraining facilityβ for Ukrainian forces. Knowing the U.S. and NATO were funneling weapons into Ukraine through this specific region, it stands to reason this βtraining facilityβ was targeted by Russia specifically because it was a weapons cache for arms flowing into Ukraine.”
also read the ‘training’ is for Azov (Nazi)
PS – O’Biden wants NATO to do the fighting for them
