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 †

Red is a Bruce Willis movie with a stunning cast. A retired CIA assassin is targeted so that the agency can protect the Vice President before he makes his run for President. This forces the agent onto the run, along with the girl he was just about to court. Although he tries to protect her, she’s enjoying the adventure too much to want his protection.
Red – You Love the Thunder – Jackson Browne
In this Korean time travel drama, the hero, a Joseon acupuncturist, moves between the Joseon period and modern times whenever he’s killed. Protecting the heart surgeon he falls for means that he’s often holding her as he dies, which means taking her with him. Life is tough for both of them in both Joseon times and modern, but he never gives up hope that he will live a good life somewhere. She believes that’s a life spent in service to others, and not one focused on riches. Not my idea of a great mode of travel.

I gotta go out to the store again today because Sherry thought she had the fixins for cornbread but doesn’t. Gotta have cornbread with those Great Northern Beans and Ham.
And I will have to take it easy on them after dinner today since I will be on the road and Sunday night will be parking at the lot of a closed motel which has no bathrooms.
I have tried for years to get someone to make cornbread like my Aunt Katherine made. No one could duplicate the recipe. It was always hot, thin and crispy. I would get to her house after the family was done with breakfast and I would get hot cornbread right out of the oven. It was perfect. Many years later I found out how it was made. She would make cornbread and biscuits for the family breakfast. There was always too much batter for the skillet but not enough for a second. The left over batter would get cool and set up a bit, but she would pour it in the hot buttered skillet and stick it back in the oven. Since the time to cook the thinner batter would be shorter, she would usually forget to take it out until it was approaching too done. The result was the crispy, thin cornbread I loved.
Good memory , VibeMan 😊
Thank You for Sharing !

Fred, the stray tom that Steve, my neighbor took in, is thriving. When Steve took him to get fixed the Vet said he was about 1 year old. His size was about what one would expect for a 5-6 month old cat. Now he is twice the size he was when Steve first brought him home to live in his heated barn.

Good Afternoon Jay.
Nice sections from Motown today. Almost always good music to dance to… My wife and I met, courted, and married during the best Motown era ..late 60’s early 70s. Most of that music is uplifting and has positive themes.

I could hit most of those notes when I first started listening to EWF. Not anymore (LOL).
And he does pretty well hitting them ‘live’!

Good morning Garrison! Have been meaning to tell you that in the waiting area where my SIL gets her radiation treatment there is a picture, oil on canvass that looks just like one of the pics by Cortez that go with Satie’s Once upon a time in Paris.
Yesterday I looked for a signature but didn’t find one. Must be a copy but it’s a very good one.
Mornin’ Gramps. Re: Cortez. No surprise that someone made prints of his paintings.
Garrison, it wasn’t a print. It is oil on canvass. Someone bothered to make a real one.
Goooood morning, my man Garrison❣️❣️❣️
Afternoon, Patience 🙂

Mr Mitchell was not labeled as a drummer originally, brings the November total to 13 drummers the a month, 3 on the 11th 2 on the 12th.
5 drummers in 2 days….SMH.
Wow. And those two 24y.o from yesterday was weird, too (same road, etc.).

Oh, Joy! I hope you all have got your warmies out!
?fit=1066%2C930&ssl=1
Morning rah, last night we had our first fire for the season. It wasn’t that cold, 41 degrees but being in Texas we use every opportunity to enjoy one. Tonight it’s suppose to drop to 31. That’s down at our gate. Being up on a hill makes for a couple of degrees warmer air. I think I’ll just water the garden in the afternoon and it should be ok.
It is 31 deg. F here now with precip coming soon. Think it will be a wintery mix. I’m waiting for Sherry to awaken to show her how to light a fire in the insert using lighter knot/fat wood and on how to properly use and regulate the fire using the damper. When it was a fireplace I kept a stock of the synthetic fire logs and she used one of those to start a fire but using chemically treated composites in the insert is verboten.
I have several days supply of dry and cured hardwood in a ring type firewood holder. Next to the fireplace implement rack is a coal colander to put hot ashes in when one needs to clean it while it is hot. The hot ashes get dumped into the outside fire pit.
Rah, we’ve had inserts (buckstove brand) for many years and have used pine mountain firelogs. Not sure if that is what you’re thinking can’t be used?
Both of our buckstoves were installed when we were the homeowner, so we too, had in-person contact with the installer. Had them do the maintenance over the years, etc. We were told we could burn anything pretty much, and the professional cleanings/maintenance always came away with no issues.
The manual for this one says not to use any of that stuff with the exception of compressed wood.
Oh ok
Slowcobra
I’m thinking that is it just CYA in their warnings being concerned about fumes.
The insert is blowing warm air and we now hav3 about 2″ on the deck. That’s twice as much as they forecasted.
This is the first time I had a chance to use the insert for an extended period. Once one has a good bed of coals built up it seems very efficient. I’m putting a log on every 2 1/2 to 3 hours now and it is still pumping out the heat. If I bank the fire and shut the damper down to 1/2 with the door closed I think I may be able to get it going again the next morning without having to light a new fire.
I am headed up into Illinois next week for work. It will be warm in the building. Maybe I won’t get a hotel room with a thermostat that says 75 when it tops out but the room never gets above 68.
Oh and BTW, just looking at the map one can tell where the harping about “climate change” will be focused. Alaska. That global warming gets around.
It’s been 38° all day here in north central Mississippi. Got my sweats and toasty thick socks on. Due to be 27° overnight. Cold front came in last night after a light rain. My pups are making short work of their outside trips.
My husband, in shorts and t-shirt, went out to feed the birds, got cold so turned on the heater and closed the doors but didn’t change into his sweats. Silly man!
LOL! We don’t need no stinking sweats when you can turn up the thermostat. 🙂
Lol. I know, right. 😁
yeah, but soon you might not be able to
Big Brother has eyes on your thermostat
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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
November 12 Oswald Chambers
The Changed Life
If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. —2 Corinthians 5:17
What understanding do you have of the salvation of your soul? The work of salvation means that in your real life things are dramatically changed. You no longer look at things in the same way. Your desires are new and the old things have lost their power to attract you. One of the tests for determining if the work of salvation in your life is genuine is— has God changed the things that really matter to you? If you still yearn for the old things, it is absurd to talk about being born from above— you are deceiving yourself. If you are born again, the Spirit of God makes the change very evident in your real life and thought. And when a crisis comes, you are the most amazed person on earth at the wonderful difference there is in you. There is no possibility of imagining that you did it. It is this complete and amazing change that is the very evidence that you are saved.
What difference has my salvation and sanctification made? For instance, can I stand in the light of 1 Corinthians 13 , or do I squirm and evade the issue? True salvation, worked out in me by the Holy Spirit, frees me completely. And as long as I “walk in the light as He is in the light” (1 John 1:7), God sees nothing to rebuke because His life is working itself into every detailed part of my being, not on the conscious level, but even deeper than my consciousness.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
We are only what we are in the dark; all the rest is reputation. What God looks at is what we are in the dark—the imaginations of our minds; the thoughts of our heart; the habits of our bodies; these are the things that mark us in God’s sight.

MORNING
Godly sorrow worketh repentance not to be repented of. II Cor. 7:10
Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly. Matt. 26:75
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I John 1:9
The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. I John 1:7
Mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart faileth me. Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me. Psa. 40:12, 13
Turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually. Hos. 12:6
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Psa. 51:17
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. Psa. 147:3
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good: and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? Micah 6:8
EVENING
Is it well with thee? And she answered, It is well. II Kings 4:26
We having the same spirit of faith. II Cor. 4:13
As chastened, and not killed; as sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. II Cor. 6:9, 10
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For which cause we faint not, but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. II Cor. 4:8-10, 16-18
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. III John 2

Milk Chocolate Cordial Cherries! One of the goodies you’ll always find at our home over the holidays along with a Whitman’s Sampler, mixed nuts in the shells with cracker, Naval Oranges, and Fudge.
Mornin’ all!
Hah! Spot On!
Good Afternoon WeeWeed!
President Trump brought no WAR yet he gets no credit for that. The Military Industrial Complex continues in the SWAMP to grab our money for there benefit. I have said for years the only way to stop DC is for everyone not to pay TAXES and protest!
We are broke! Last week we had a call with the Freedom Caucus who discribed how bad it is in the SWAMP he said TOTALY BROKEN”. They are going to have the New Reps come and tell them the truth about how the SWAMP works before the McCarthy’s snakes gets to them. They will get staffers who are also SWAMP SNAKES this is why they need to listen to the freedom caucus Andy Biggs Etc.
Back in the day we had Sons and Daughters of Liberty we were a group of Florida Tea,912,Liberty and other groupos who came together to lobby our representives it was very successful. Since Trump alot of people set back and did not lobby for the MAGA agenda . If we could get those folks to understand why we must LOBBY and use everything including Protesting,boycotts, and more it will help. We the People can use that power to get the MAGA agenda done! If you are interested go to our blog http://www.m912tc.com or contact me. This also will help TRUMP get elected and we all know that is what needs to happen. TheTreehouse did there job back in 2016 and I thank GOD for that!
Thank you luckycin.
I truly don’t understand why us Americans aren’t motivated like the dutch, canadians, sri lanka, and now the brazilians.
J6 prisoners have scared many away.
It hasn’t gotten bad enough yet for most people…. That is the ONLY explanation that fits broadly.
Yes, many are hurting and getting or already are desperate for relief. The winter will only put more people into desperate situations – lack of energy for heating; food prices exorbitant and now taking away money that was budgeted for rent and energy bills…
But apparently enough aren’t yet desperate enough to act out in protest….
I think there is another possible explanation. Half the population are morons!
A lot of folks certainly don’t think far beyond their own house, job, and lives. America is known for being traditionally slow to react to major growing national crises until enough citizens get badly and traumatically harmed….
I think the media plays a disproportionately large role in deliberately tamping down information that might convey a better sense of urgent warning and the need to prepare…. The media certainly has censored the fraudulent elections since the Democrats have benefited. But had the vote and ballot fraud benefitted the Republicans, the media would be all over it.
yawn … ( walk the walk … ) the rest is just self righteousness ( ask ‘job how that went … )
-Spartacus, Job ended up with a greater knowledge of God and blessed more than he was before:
“Job 42:
1 Then Job answered the Lord and said,
2 “I know that You can do all things,
And that no plan is impossible for You.
….
5 I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear;
But now my eye sees You;”
…..
12 The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning;”
Oh yea! I would have done that!
Happy “cartoons and cereal day” everyone.
have a blessed saturday.
I was wrong. It’s snow, already nearly 1/2″ so far.
Measurable snow went east of SW Missouri, but we get another chance Monday night.
American folk hero. Telling you like it is. Icon. The devil started using hollywood.
I don’t know whether this a good news or bad news. Every year our small church has a Thanksgiving meal. It is not potluck. We go to the local grocery and have them prepare a traditional hot Thanksgiving dinner and we eat after church on the Sunday before the holiday. We don’t want members to have to worry with prep. Just come and enjoy.
This year the local grocery stores that have done this are no longer doing these prepared “family” dinners. We have called around and finally found that Cracker Barrel will do it, so Cracker Barrel it is.
Why, you may ask? EBT can no longer be used to buy hot, ready to eat meals. It seems so much of the family meal business was paid by EBT that it does not pay to do these for only people with money to buy. I guess that it makes sense to limit EBT food purchases, but why would you eliminate celebrating the one holiday that has at its center thanking God for his providence? (May have answered my own question.)
Wow that’s sad.
I wonder what EBT defines as “hot, ready to eat meals”. Fast food too? A sit down hot meal at, say, cracker barrel?
EBT now only allows canned goods?
And weird that local grocers wont do them anymore for the money-payers. Not enough business from that group?
all rhetorical questions as I think out loud…
bless you for what you do, vibeman!
The two major grocery stores in my zip code have actually expanded their hot, prepared, ready-to-eat (RTE) selections. But the lower-cost grocery store in the same area does not offer hot prepared foods. Wifey tells me they have a larger % of EBT customers.
So the paying customers’ demand for these prepared foods has increased since the pandemic cut them off from restaurants for a year. Apparently many people discovered in 2020 and 2021 that RTE entrees and sides from the grocery stores are less costly than eating out.
I don’t know your zip code, but in my area the restaurants were only shut down briefly. May be the difference.
Some were re-opened in the summer of 2020 but with much less seating (“social distancing”). And then many menu items were not available. Some were only open for take-out, no inside dining. It was uneven and inconsistent until 2021. We have mostly single location, locally owned restaurants and relatively small number of national or regional chain eateries.
Hi! Goodnight everybody!
Never in the history of the nation, has there been such a categorical, straight line reference from the pernicious, counterproductive policies of an administration to the economic, Hieronymus Bosch painting we are all living in right now. In his first hours, as the illegally elected “president” Biden killed off the energy industry. Even your house pets know that the key to a great economy is cheap energy. Soon after that, he printed trillions in fiat currency, pulled out of Afghanistan after what we must all presume was a lost weekend with Hunter and like the laptop, neglected to bring back 80 Billion dollars in Military gear, that we generously bequeathed to our friends in the Taliban, Then, the cherry on top, initiated a proxy war in the Ukraine that diminishes our treasure with possibly, blood to follow.
The Doomsday Cult that now makes up the lion’s share of the left wing whackos whom vote for this insanity, in the face of the unambiguous evidence of that same insanity, will reap what they sow. Machiavelli said, that in the end, the people get the government they deserve. H. L.. Menken said, they deserve to get it and get it good and hard.
Democrats now in office, are, with some exceptions, are “Run Forrest Run!!!’ stupid. For most of them, I just have to print their names, no explanation is necessary. Maxine Waters. Mazie Hirono, Eric Swalwell, the list is voluminous.
Special mention to Hank Johnson, who, during a Congressional hearing on a military buildup in Guam, said, out loud, on camera, in front of human beings, that he was worried (No shit, this happened.) that the island of Guam, might “tip over” and go under the sea because of the extra personnel.
Honorable mention to AOC, who, with a degree from Boston University in Economics, thought, that when Amazon was going to locate in her district, that New York was going to cut a check for 2 Billion Dollars to Jeff Bezos. In Econ 101, Tax Abatements are directly after, Adam Smith’s “Invisible Hand”. I kept thinking someone would tell her to shut up about it and explain the trade off, but, no. AOC is not just an idiot, she is, as are most Democrat politicians, a liar. We are all gonna die in 12 years! Right??? No. Here is her campaign manager, Chakrabarti, accidentally telling the truth about “Climate Change”.
From the National Review —Chakrabarti said that addressing climate change was not Ocasio-Cortez’s top priority in proposing the Green New Deal during a meeting with Washington governor Jay Inslee.
“The interesting thing about the Green New Deal, is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all,” Chakrabarti said to Inslee’s climate director, Sam Ricketts, according to a Washington Post reporter who attended the meeting for a profile published Wednesday.
“Do you guys think of it as a climate thing?” Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing,” he added.
Oops.
Many are not so stupid, but existentially evil. If Baghdad Bob and Manti Te’o’s girlfriend had a baby, it would be the inveterate, unapologetic liar, Adam Schiff.
Nancy Pelosi is worth north of 250 million dollars on a salary of 175K a year.
The Clinton’s “Foundation” took in 700 million in one year in “pay for play” schemes that subverted the will of the people, warped our foreign policy and administered the usual “collateral damage” to innocents all over the globe. Haitians hate ’em.
John Fetterman is now the U.S. Senator for the state of Pennsylvania. Voting irregularities all over America and especially in Pennsylvania during the 2020 election were criminal and the 2020 vote was most certainly rigged. That said, some people went to the polls and voted for Fetterman ON PURPOSE. Fetterman, I will admit, even after his stroke, is not as stupid as Hank Johnson, but, he is the most mentally challenged Senator Elect in some time and is, in terms of mental acuity, as deficient as the Hologram who sits the throne in the Oval office.
The people in Pennsylvania deserve him. They deserve high energy prices in a state with unused energy resources by way of the the “Climate Change” agenda. Maybe they are going to ride to work on rainbow colored unicorns while singing Kumbaya. Our national energy policy is determined by the de facto energy czars now in place, AOC & Greta. A bartender who may or may not be able to make a Gin & Tonic and a 16 year old on the spectrum.
Democrat politicians & CDC/FDA/WHO/NIH bureaucrats with the assistance of the Chinese Communist Party and Big Pharma, released a pestilence on the world, then sent your parents and grandparents to their deaths in nursing homes, mandated untested, harmful “vaccines” that are NOT vaccines, destroyed election integrity, killed off so many business’ that no one knows the actual number, shut down schools, churches and suspended the Constitution for 2.5 years. The incipient Fascism that flowered like nightshade in the progressive penumbra is now a fully formed, unapologetic movement that cancels and jails those who resist the brute, innate power of the DNC imperium.
So, for all of you Democrats who voted for this, enjoy your own private Pennsylvania.
Hi! Goodnight everybody!

And the word will spread through the Bar Associations and Blogs and coffee klatsches that the military is on the move and doing it’s job at last.
This case will be followed by another proving that the FBI is promoting domestic terrorism and that DHS has actively sought to muzzle free speech in America.
I must have 50 sparrows in my lilac bushes next to the two caged seed blocks hanging from a double shepherds hook.
That’s great, rah. The birds in our backyard chomp through ~48 suet seed blocks about every 3 months in the spring, summer, and fall. Wife puts out from 4 to 6 at a time on various shepherds hooks and some hangars at the back of our rear deck. During the winter we might go through that same amount in 6 weeks. I only have to look at my Home Depot order history to see the volume we use. 😁 We also have a privately owned farm supply in our village by the railroad tracks that is a Southern States franchise, and they have a decent variety of bird food at competitive prices so we patronize them as well.
We also have a large Amish-made gazebo-shaped bird feeder on top a 6 foot 4×4 in the middle of the backyard. It holds about 4 to 6 cups of seeds, but the birds can empty that in 2 or 3 days time in the spring and winter!
We get cardinals, bluejays, starlings, crows (they are huge), doves, chickadees, nuthatches, sparrows, wrens, bluebirds (have a bb house on a tall post at far rear of yard), and many others. We also get hummingbirds in varying amounts year to years so we have hummingbird feeders too. Wife mixes sugar water for them, per a proscribed recipe.
We used to get far more birds when there was a row of tall Leyland Cypress trees across the back of our property separating our yard from the lot behind us. But after 23 years those trees had become diseased or were too close together and died off from the bottom up so we had them taken out and replaced with 6 ft. high skip laurels. 3 years later those are growing up & filling out nicely so more birds are finding shelter in them.
We go through 4 to 5 of the larger seed blocks a week and about 16 lb of loose seed dispensed in an 8 lb squirrel proof feeder. That’s enough!
Yes thats a lot! My wife feeds the squirrels cheap peanuts to keep them off the bird feeders! Hungry rascals!
Here at my central Indiana home we have 2″ of snow on the ground and though it has tapered off a bit, it is still coming down.
It has been several years since we have had a snow like this in November. And though this probably won’t stick around, we’re forecasted to get some more on Tuesday.
It is looking like it is going to be a long cold winter and that my investment in a fireplace insert is going to pay off for me. There is a good chance we won’t only have our first white Christmas in some time, but also may have a white Thanksgiving.
I remember that back in the early and mid 1960s when I was 8-12 years old I would go rabbit hunting on Thanksgiving morning with Dad and some uncles and usually there was snow on the ground and sometimes it would be bitterly cold. During the winter Jamboree out at the Boy Scout camp there was always plenty of snow and it was plenty cold.
This La Nina winter is looking like it will be very much like those times.
NOAA is massively tampering with the data to make the present look warmer than the past. They cool the past despite the records to make their pretty fraudulent charts. A look at the actual data recorded from the thermometers tells that tale.
This is huge news! Germany is exiting the the ECT and aligning itself more firmly with USA. Not that I’m an expert, but I think people need to get used to walking!
“The ECT allows energy companies, especially those involved in fossil fuels, to sue countries in a court system if they consider the legislation to be against their interests. The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) called the treaty a “serious obstacle to climate change mitigation”.
Just to add, it doesn’t make sense that they were building a pipeline with Russia, only to do this! So, who blew up the pipeline? USA did.
Today’s high is 75 with a low tonight in the 50’s. After this, the nights will be in the 30’s. Our first frost should be next weekend.
The firewood is split, the 2 days of yard-raking is done (blisters and all), the last of the late tomatoes and peppers will be picked tomorrow, the canning and freezing is done, the garden will be cleared and covered during next week.
Thank you, God, for the strength to finish the year safely prepared for the cold to come. Thank you for Your blessing of the harvest. May we all rejoice in the good that You have given each of us. In Jesus name. Amen.
Cold up here in the Northern plains. Got my wood pellet stove fired up and a good stock of pellets. The cost of gas and oil heat is soaring.
Please please people go back to Sunday worship! All the calamities that befell the Old Testament Israelites came because they abandoned the Covenant, stopped worshipping and took in their pagan neighbors’ gods to include the human sacrifice of their own children to the baals. We’re there. Babylonian Captivity. Need a national movement of repentance plus gratitude and thanks for the blessings we do have in our lives. Come back..worship God on Sunday …as a minimum
So I got home to Illinois from Florida to find that my (now former) friend’s son (who is an adult and was paid) failed to feed and water my birds.
25 out of 42 Gouldian Finches starved/dehydrated to death.
I believe most of my fellow Treepers are Christians. How do you move on from this? I don’t believe you can maintain the friendship.
Heartbreaking.
As the saying goes, with “friends” like that, you don’t need enemies.
I am so very sorry about your birds, chase. I cannot imagine your sadness , and frustration with your friend, and son.
I dont know how much responsibility your friend has over the son though.
things to consider (these dont necessarily need answers posted back; just things for you to think about):
-Does the son still live at home with your friend? If so, the friend would bear more responsibility.
-has the friend expressed sympathy and apologies
again, I truly am so sorry for the pain of your loss. As a licensed veterinary technician, I love the animals and just feel so bad that this happened.
Wow! I would think that the first step would be for him to come over and see the results of his neglect.
Tomorrow is the International Day of Prayer for Persecuted Christians 🙏
Hello all,
I’ve lived in my place long enough to be able to move about without turning on the lights. After a few unfortunate incidents, I’ve learned to look before placing a step, because the “little monster” is likely to be right there, underfoot. C.J. gets it, but Libby hasn’t yet figured out that I can’t see in the dark, hence leading to the, er, unfortunate incidents.
Here’s the two girls in a rare moment of peace and quiet. Can you guess which is which?

Haha, libby’s on the top!
Wups, let me try this

Hmmmm, I still am thinking the young inquisitive one is libby, who’s on the top rung, right?
Winner winner! Your prize is a week’s supply of recycled kitty litter (don’t worry, after a day or two you barely notice the smell). 😉
Lol
Libby is a silent meower. Her face goes “meow,” but no sound comes out. It’s the funniest thing. One of these days I’ll be lucky enough to catch it on video.
Something truly horrifying just popped up in the sidebar of my screen. A contributor at The Hill floated “a what” if Biden replaced Harris with Newsom and then resigned? Well, that would work if you wanted to bring Hell to America.
I honestly dont think it matters anymore. They will run their plays no matter what.
I am Israeli and a Trump supporter. I sometimes post here things that are not published in American media and have some educational or motivational value. As you may know Benjamin Netanyahu won the elections in Israel again. The following video is the earliest interview of him. The man is 28 years old. Already an officer in the most elite unit of Israel and an MIT graduate. At that time he worked in a Boston financial consulting company which formed his foundation which he later used to transform the Israeli Socialist economy into a free market and a technological leader in the world. Enjoy.
Wow! That is impressive.
Shalom! New technology from Israel.
Amen
Amen…
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
✝️ Lord, thank You for the day. Amen.
