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

I’ll take this opportunity to announce that it is National LOVE YOUR PET DAY 💕

Oh my are you ever right, Betsy! Always love your beautiful posts. Every day Is love your pet day here: 13 rescues (kitties, doggos, and burros) and a colony of feral kitties ( 15 to 20?)that we feed and try to keep up with through TNR (trap, neuter, release). Often, it feels like 1 step forward and 2 steps back.
Most of our animals come courtesy of “people” in our neck of the desert who move out and leave them behind, or those who drop them off to fend for themselves!!! Not within my realm of understanding.
My mother always said that people should have to raise a dog first in order to have the right to have children.
Betsy … you’re ignoring my granddaughter post of yesterday. 😕 Are you still mad about my TDAP vaccination? I hope I haven’t lost you as an e-friend?
Kenji….. I JUST SAW IT. Sweet little Miya!!! Congratulations GPa!!!!
Sleeping for four hours at the stretch already? Her parents hit the jackpot with that little bundle of joy!

love this song makes me what to head off planet take a real look
at our beautiful planet called earth.
Thanks, Wand. My fave Monkees tune:
Ed … I like your musical taste. That’s a fabulous opening riff that Nesmith could actually play. But my favorite Monkees tune was written by Carole King and her husband … and features Nesmith laying down an even longer, sweet, opening riff! And it’s a song about hipsters (of the time) hating suburbia. You know, kinda like all my leftist neighbors who mocked suburbia for decades … but who have all FLED their multi-culti dreams in San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley … and now all live in my formerly conservative and beautiful suburb. Oh well … their suburban angst made for a cool tune.
And … my personal favorite Monkee … Mickey Dolenz … turns in a really good vocal on this tune as well 🙂👏
And Wikipedia says the guitar riff was basically nicked from the Beatles I Want To Tell You from Revolver. Uh, yeah, I’d say so … and they even plagiarized the Beatles amplifiers to shape the sound as much fuller.
Perhaps this is an overwrought analogy … but so many musicians COPIED, err were “inspired” by The Beatles (and Bob Dylan) that it reminds me of Western Literature lifting virtually every story and moral lesson from The Bible. When anything is that utterly GOOD and UNIQUE and speaks TRUTH … musically or lyrically … it gets copied. Not a bad thing. Not a bad thing at all
Hmmmm? Where have I heard that riff and tone before?
Paperback Writer, non-album single: May 1966
I Want To Tell You-Revolver lp: August 1966
All three guitar parts are different. But the Monkee riff is definitely derived from both Beatles songs.
Peter Tork was well-liked by his contemporaries up in Laurel Canyon, I’ve been watching a couple documentaries, and folks spoke well of him
A lot of musicians went for the cattle-call auditions for the Monkees TV show
I’ve read Steve Stills auditioned but was rejected … bad teeth, the article said
Legendary resident of the canyon. And BTW … Stills bad teeth? Let’s just say my dentist warns against rubbing vast amounts of cocaine into your gums. But I still LOVE Stills as a brilliant artist and inventive guitarist
And one for you Betsy? PS … anyone of my generation who claims they were “too musically sophisticated” to watch The Monkees each week in the mid 60’s … is simply a liar. Say what you will … but Hollywood completely invented a prefab-four … who were just as popular as The Beatles. What does that say about our culture? I’ll leave that for you to answer.

Frederick Banting
(1891-1941)
Canadian physician, recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, dies in a plane crash at 49
Biography: Frederick Banting was a Canadian medical scientist, physician, and Nobel laureate noted for his role in the discovery of insulin. This was a monumental breakthrough in the treatment of diabetes, a disease that, prior to the discovery of insulin, often resulted in premature death. Banting shared the 1923 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with his colleague John James Rickard Macleod, a recognition of the profound impact of their work.
Banting’s journey to the discovery of insulin was marked by persistence and collaboration. Working with his student assistant Charles Best in Macleod’s laboratory at the University of Toronto, Banting was able to isolate the hormone insulin for the first time. This would not have been possible without Banting’s innovative approach to tackling the pancreas’s secretion problem, a task many other researchers had unsuccessfully attempted.
In the years following the discovery of insulin, Banting continued to contribute to medical science. He also became heavily involved in military and aviation medicine during World War II.
21 February
Anne Frank
(1929-1945)
Dutch diarist and Jewish victim of the Nazi Holocaust (Diary of Anne Frank), dies of typhus in the Belsen concentration camp at 15 [estimate – exact date undocumented]
Biography: Aged 13, German born Dutch Jewish national Anne Frank and her family went into hiding in Amsterdam in 1942 to escape persecution under Nazi occupation.
Betrayed two years later they were sent to concentration camps where Anne later died from Typhus.
Anne’s diary from June 1942 to August 1944 is regarded as the most famous personal account of the Holocaust and has been turned into a play and film.
21 February
Howard Florey
(1898-1968)
Australian pathologist and pharmacologist who purified penicillin (Nobel 1945), dies at 69
Biography: Carried out the first ever clinical trials in 1941 of penicillin at the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford.
Florey’s discoveries, along with Alexander Fleming and Ernst Chain are estimated to have saved over 82 million lives.
Florey shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1945 with Ernst Boris Chain and Alexander Fleming for his role in the development of penicillin.
21 February
Gertrude B. Elion
(1918-1999)
American biochemist and drug researcher who developed groundbreaking leukemia and herpes drug treatments (Nobel 1988), dies at 81
Biography: Gertrude B. Elion was an American biochemist and pharmacologist, who made immense contributions to medicine and chemistry. She was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1988, alongside George H. Hitchings and Sir James Black, “for their discoveries of important principles for drug treatment.”
Born in New York City, Elion was pursued a career in science after losing her grandfather to cancer. She graduated from Hunter College in 1937 with a degree in chemistry and later received her master’s degree from New York University. Despite her academic achievements, Elion faced significant challenges in finding research positions due to the prevalence of gender discrimination at the time.
Elion began her career in industry and joined the Burroughs Wellcome Company (now part of GlaxoSmithKline) in 1944, where she worked with George Hitchings. They developed a wide range of new drugs together using innovative research methods, including drug therapies for leukemia, autoimmune disorders, urinary tract infections, gout, malaria, and viral herpes.
Their approach involved understanding the difference in biochemistry between human cells and pathogens (like bacteria, viruses, or cancer cells) and designing drugs that could target these differences. This targeted method proved extremely successful, and it was for this that she was awarded the Nobel Prize with Hitchings and Black.
One of Elion’s most notable achievements was the development of the drug 6-mercaptopurine (sold as Purinethol), which was one of the first treatments for leukemia and significantly increased survival rates for children with the disease. This drug is now on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines.
She also played a key role in the development of azathioprine, the first immunosuppressive drug used for organ transplants, and acyclovir, one of the first antiviral drugs used for the treatment of herpes.
Throughout her career, Elion was granted 45 patents and her work led to the development of several key drugs that remain in use. She also contributed to the creation of AZT, an anti-retroviral drug which was the first to fight AIDS.
Despite not having a Ph.D., her contributions were recognized by numerous awards, including the Nobel Prize.
Wow! So many incredible contributions from the people featured in your posts today. Thank you for spending your time and talent to inform us. My insulin dependent grandson is 20 years old (today!), thanks to Dr Banting and others. Most thankful I still get to hug him.
I never met my grandfather, who died as a young man due to his diabetes. What a difference a hundred years makes!
So many great minds. Such contributions.
Saved a lot of people starting with wounded during WW II.
Also a lot of limbs of those with war wounds.

Oh Lord, thank you for granting me another day to stand up against the tyranny in the world today, blessing me with the will, strength and fortitude to continue walking, digging and fighting all over this once blessed United States of America. Please continue to help me carry this rucksack and weapon by walking beside me and lending your loving hand apon this yoke I proudly wear. Please bless me with a full ammo pouch and full canteen, one for the enemy around me the other for the enemy above, so that I may prevail against one and endure the other. Please bless me with the light of the moon and stars when I need them and clouds and rain when I desire cover from my enemies eyes. Please ensure my aim is true, that my creedo “One Shot, One Kill” is fullfilled, that my enemy does not suffer and their end is swift and complete. Please Lord, protect me from short rounds and friendly fire from my allies, so that I might continue to honor my oath to the Constitution of the United States of America. Last of all Lord please forgive me for what I must do, I only wished to be left alone, bask in the glory of your word and behold this beautiful world that you created for us but alas Evil has risen and I am compelled to smite it in your name.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN CARRIED AWAY FOR HIM?
“She hath wrought a good work on Me.” Mark xiv. 6
If human love does not carry a man beyond himself, it is not love. If love is always discreet, always wise, always sensible and calculating, never carried beyond itself, it is not love at all. It may be affection, it may be warmth of feeling, but it has not the true nature of love in it.
Have I ever been carried away to do something for God not because it was my duty, nor because it was useful, nor because there was anything in it at all beyond the fact that I love Him? Have I ever realized that I can bring to God things which are of value to Him, or am I mooning round the magnitude of His Redemption whilst there are any number of things I might be doing? Not Divine, colossal things which could be recorded as marvelous, but ordinary, simple human things which will give evidence to God that I am abandoned to Him? Have I ever produced in the heart of the Lord Jesus what Mary of Bethany produced?
There are times when it seems as if God watches to see if we will give Him the abandoned tokens of how genuinely we do love Him. Abandon to God is of more value than personal holiness. Personal holiness focuses the eye on our own whiteness; we are greatly concerned about the way we walk and talk and look, fearful lest we offend Him. Perfect love casts out all that when once we are abandoned to God. We have to get rid of this notion – “Am I of any use?” and make up our minds that we are not, and we may be near the truth. It is never a question of being of use, but of being of value to God Himself. When we are abandoned to God, He works through us all the time.

Waiting…so hard but required by our Heavenly Father. The anxiety and frustrations we feel are a result of wanting something done on our timeline…not God’s timeline. He will do it! Whatever you do…DON’T GIVE UP! 🙏🙏🙏✝
Love Miss Elisabeth so much, Stevie!
She was – and is still – a Godsend…
🙏🏻🥰
Good morning , dear Della 💕 Who better to wait on than He Who will never fail us 🙏🏻🕊
Good day to you, Betsy!
I think “wait” is the buzzword lately!
Aren’t we all?!
In His timing – never late!
I love this. Great post, as always, Betsy. Your library of memes is expansive!
Miss Della…I just found her! Do you have a book of hers that you would recommend?
Blessings for your day! 🙏✝💝
Stevie, you are in for a delight!
Miss Elisabeth has been my Godly spiritual mother 30+ years.
God used her powerfully, among others, to disciple me as a young woman, living with chronic depression.
I have many of her books, and will think about a recommendation; but, actually, you can glean treasures from all of them.
In the meantime, check out her webpage:
http://www.Elisabethelliot.org.
Under “resources” the radio broadcasts, Gateway to Joy – are wonderful. Each about 12 minutes long.
Have been listening again, as they never get old.
Can’t wait to meet her in heaven, and tell her thank you.
Oh what joy! Thank YOU! I’ll be looking forward to your suggestion of where to start…🤗…and I’ll definitely check out her website!
Stevie, I still read, “Keep a Quiet Heart” and “A Lamp Unto My Feet.” (daily meditations)
“Secure in the Everlasting Arms” and “A Path Through Suffering” are really good.
On Amazon, you can read a sample of these writings. And, choose your medium of reading: paper, kindle or the book club?
I order books from www.thriftbooks.com and pleased with them. Tho, their selections can be limited.
Perhaps you can check out Miss Elisabeth’s writings from these suggestions, and go from there!
Don’t think you’ll be disappointed with any of her wisdom-filled books …
🤗 💝
Good morning, dear sis 😘 Armoured up, not taking it off 🙏🏻
Blessings to you and yours dear sis! 🙏✝💝
yes Stevie God ‘s timing beautifully said. Blessings
Blessings dear lightworker1! 🙏✝💝

Thank You for your faithfulness, Poy !!! God Bless You !!! ❤️
In hope of eternal life, which God who ever lives, promised before the ages began. – Titus 1:2
The Bible does not give many clues as to what God’s people will experience in eternity. Religions in the past have painted Heaven to be a boring place. Pastor Ray Fowler stated, “So what will we do in heaven? Will we just sit around on clouds playing harps all day? No! We will worship, we will fellowship, we will serve, we will work, we will rest, and we will rule.
We will not be bored, we will not hurt or be hurt, hunger or thirst, mourn or cry, sin or die.”
Paul wrote, “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you will also appear with him in glory” (Colossians 3:2-4). Paul also said, “But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself” (Philippians 3:20-21). Believers who know God is good realize that heaven is a desirable place and being with Him there will also be good.
As the United States faces uncertain times, remember that you are only passing through on this earth. Place your hope in Jesus and, one day, you will be with Him face to face. Pray for followers of Christ, whether in government or in the private sector, to be about the Father’s business, living in such God-honoring ways that others will turn to Jesus and prepare to meet Him when it is time.

Good morning all!
The sad truth.

Sad truth
Yes. I had no idea that within my lifetime this reality would be inverted. Substantiates scripture more and more.
Illegal ALIENS attacking law enforcement should be subjected to physical restraint delivered with prejudice, immediate confinement, and deportation.
Illegal ALIENS should be fingerprinted, photographed, and DNA samples taken immediately upon arrest.
Gotta say I suspect we’re in for a stronger than average tornado season this year.
That assessment is my own and not Joe Bastardi’s who hasn’t said anything about it yet.

My wife is an elementary school teacher … and let me say that about the same time Jimmy created the Dept. of Education … we were treated to Teddy Kennedy’s (and assorted RINOs) immigration reform … and the sudden influx of 1 M legal immigrants per year … not to mention the increasing flow of illegal immigrants … unvented … with little English speaking skills.
What do you think THAT does to education?
My wife was forced by the State of CA to obtain a “CLAD” certification … which purports to instruct her how to teach children who don’t understand English. The method includes lots of pointing and crude sign language. It’s really a JOKE. Which makes me think … do French Elementary school teachers have to learn how to communicate with all the Muslim children who don’t speak French?

Life often takes surprising twists and turns.
Some of us (I) say: I never dreamed it would be like this.
Nevertheless, here we are.
May God help us trust Him in all of our situations – and live each day with joy and peace, rather than confusion and misery.
For those who love God, He promises to bring good from every trouble and sorrow.
The little book of Philippians (New Testament) is about “joy.”
It was written by the Apostle Paul, including verse below while he was in a miserable prison.
“ … for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances.”
Philippians 4:11.b

Been there …. The shoulder was my highway😁
I drive a 2006 VW Jetta TDI. It has seen the ravages of salty Canadian winters.
It sure doesn’t look good. But I pray for my little car every time I get into it. A tank of diesel will take me 650 miles. It is crazy.
I don’t even push it over 55 because I’m worried about high RPMs throwing a timing belt which apparently they are prone to do.
DD
The Jetta we owned (from the same decade) had a bad habit of mindlessly locking us out.
In hindsight I’m 100% sure that that particular VW, at least, was a democrat.
Dan Dale: My Jetta TDI was awesome. Great mileage, lots of torque. I ended up turning it in under VW’s fraud settlement.
Timing belt breakage = instant, permanent, engine DEATH. Throw a couple rods through the pistons kinda permanent DEATH.
Which is why I religiously change timing belts every 100k (min.) on my 1991 BMW e30 325i. Nope. I can’t drive 55 when that 2.5 manual will kick ass on the fwy. That little car is my poor-man’s Porsche.
According to McCartney, who authored the tune … “According to McCartney, “Drive my car’ was an old blues euphemism for sex”. This expression was more common in the pre-automatic shift era of automobiles.
Who knew? Driving stick was a euphemism for something quite different …
hmmmm.. well , i drive a stick ..
( a 6 speed )
adding a p. s. ~ hello ♥️
I’ve got a 2004 VW Jetta TDI! I hadn’t heard about throwing timing belts but I keep the revs low anyway.
Once on a run from WI to Cleveland OH I didn’t go over 50 on the freeway, so I got 55 mpg. I love that little car, the only brand new car I’ve ever owned.
Congratulations on owning one!
I tried to buy a 2005 Jetta TDI but they weren’t available in my area at the time so I bought a Toyota Prius which actually got terrific fuel mileage and served me extremely well for the next 13 years. I’d still have it if my brother in law hadn’t lost the engine in his Nissan pickup in late 2018 whereupon I sold him my Prius for 1/3 of what is was worth. Apparently Maryland VW dealers didn’t sell too many TDIs at that time.
And if driving a VW bus, if the wind happened to be blowing in the wrong direction… I owned one of those (a camper with the pop-up roof) for a short while. Driving home to NC from Florida was a struggle. But back to Florida was easy, ’cause it was downhill.
o_>
Remember those days, too.
Had a brand new VW Beetle, 1972, bright yellow.
Gas tank filled for $3/week.
It was so fun to drive – but a wonder I’m still living. 😁
And, parking places galore!😂
That was so true of my 1974 Honda Civic 3-dr hatchback! It was every bit as small as a Beetle and got 30+ mpg. It could fit practically anywhere the Detroit monsters of the time wouldn’t fit.
I paid $2,166 for it brand new off the showroom floor in December ’74.
The gas pedal in my 1969 VW Bug was essentially … pressed to the floor continually … getting some breathing room only when I shifted gears. Shifted gears … remember that?
Absolutely. I only drive stick.
I had a 1997 Saturn SL2, well worn-in. Once I got it going, then went from 1st to 5th and back down – without using the clutch. Matched engine speeds. Just did it once, to say I could do it.
That’s called floating the gears or floating the gearbox. Good semi truck drivers do this all the time without touching the clutch pedal.
(Of course now a lot of newer semi tractors have automatic transmissions for the unskilled newbie drivers. Some fleets only buy auto transmission trucks……they’re also usually the ones to watch out for! Lol.
Back in the day you started off “double clutching” using the clutch pedal in each gear change until you get the feel for it and then graduated to just feathering the accelerator pedal to match gearbox to ground speed without the clutch to change up or down.
Musician types are usually the best at floating cause they have the best ear and the best feel.
Verse of the Day for Wednesday, February 21, 2024
✟
“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:”
Colossians 1:16 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
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.
BE MY VOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
CHILD NOT CHOICE
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
PEACE AND COMFORT
If you are looking for serenity
It’s not attached to your identity
It’s not something you can purchase or buy
Nor is it something you can test or try
In life there’ll be trials and tribulation
At times an acquired aberration
Is your mind overwhelmed out of control
With no influence to calm or cajole
Have you cried for comfort that does not come
Are your senses silent your body benumb
Are you irritable and anxious too
Wondering what you are going to do
There is no place to go to stop the noise
When you’ve lost your confidence and your poise
When your thoughts are tethered in a twist
When you’re tied up in knots and can’t resist
Is this a state of your own creation
Have you given in to some temptation
Have you failed to stop and take time to pray
Have you asked God to intervene today
Have you sought answers solely thru your mind
Have you ignored prompts of the Spirit kind
Have you petitioned God with your solution
Or have you trusted God with His locution
There is no Peace and Comfort without God
There is nowhere to turn that is not flawed
There is no love hope or even a chance
That you will be able to Happy Dance

Day 5 (of 9) – The Surrender Novena By Father Dolindo Ruotolo (1882-1970)
Let us begin, In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
And when I must lead you on a path different from the one you see, I will prepare you; I will carry you in my arms; I will let you find yourself, like children who have fallen asleep in their mother’s arms, on the other bank of the river.
What troubles you and hurts you immensely are your reason, your thoughts and worry, and your desire at all costs to deal with what afflicts you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!

🇮🇱❤️💪 David: You and all Israel have been in my prayers and will continue to be.
May God Bless and Keep you all strong and fortified with Love and Success!
Shalom to all.
Thank you. Very Appreciated. ❤️

This is some crazy assassination of two Hamas terrorists. I took the liberty of calling it “Mossad?” and “10/7 blacklist”, because this is some high tech operation that I don’t think anyone could do except the Kidon (Byonet) Unit of the Mossad. Typically Gaza is not their main responsibility but they were tasked with the 10/7 Blacklist according to Netanyahu. You may be able to understand what happened in the video better than me. I think that the car ahead of them has the assassins. This was not on main media and Mossad doesn’t publish operations so there you go.
I Managed to remove the YouTube “restriction” from this video. For now.
those secondary hits when they’d exited the car and were lying on the ground look like drone-fired munitions
although they’re real small, a drone-fired missile wound cause larger explosion
Yes. It must have been a drone. But the first strike is mysterious. Look like the front car fired it.
I received many likes (unusual comparatively, for my posts) on this nutrition information post on the Political thread yesterday-
{ https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/02/20/february-20th-2024-presidential-politics-resistance-day-1127/comment-page-3/#comment-10597843 } which featured a ‘raweggnationalist’ bog post re: Weston A. Price, which I also linked immediately above it.
SO… people found that interesting and that’s GOOD…
I want to share some resources for upgrading the nutrition – and more fundamentally, the food buying habits – of this wonderful community;
many of you probably already know & do, but for those who don’t…
AND
{ https://www.azurestandard.com }
Many recipes & resources on the WAPrice site.
The Azure Standard website has a video channel, where the owners talk about many aspects of their direct farm-to-consumer business model and their hard-line of zero toxic ingredients in the food they put their name on…
Both these videos feature Jeffrey Smith, founder of the Institute for Responsible Technology (long-time gmo hazard exposer) interviewing the owner of Azure Standard about aspects of his excellent company; both were posted very recently…
50 ingredients/contaminants banned by this company; 9:38min
{
}
AND
Why & How of Making Healthy (organic & non-gmo) Food Affordable; 8min
{
}
They also sell animal feeds, garden seeds and plant starts + all kinds of home/garden/food preservation accessories.
Their participation criteria is very simple and, both an account *and shipping is free*. You do not have to order on a set schedule; delivery is 1x monthly.
A simple challenge: $50 a month – or even quarterly – devoted to buying some of your food this way; food (or items) you already buy… but higher quality @ lower cost – just to see if it is beneficial for your household ((I get nothing from your participation – you’ll get nothing from anyone who participates because you share also)). It’s possible to combine friends /family members’ orders together & share in the experience or the bulk-buy savings; it’s not just bulk-buying, they offer small sizes too.
IMO, eating only clean & real food, and using clean products, is an even more important, higher priority now than ever – this simply makes it more possible.
I would love to know if this happens for you & how it goes…
I’m very glad I researched & acquired a pressure canner (doubles as a water bath canner; makes fresh food shelf-stable in glass jars) many years ago – they’re more expensive now, like everything else – but sharing in the cost & use of that sort of equipment would also be beneficial now too.
There are many comparisons of different brands, just do an independent search for a wider range of information;
This is the brand I have and I love it so much – totally worth the investment, pays for itself…
{ https://www.allamericancanner.com/ }
Canning food is easy to learn… just follow specific steps (do *NOT* make things up; find your altitude & stay in your lane!) and put high-quality investment on your shelves & into your body. Use updated/current resources & instructions for best – safest – results…
{ https://nchfp.uga.edu/publications/publications_usda.html }
((Now I”m interested in acquiring a freeze-dryer, God willing
{ https://harvestright.com/shop/ } ))
Imagine that. I am canning dried cranberry (aka October) beans tonight. Ran them through a “insta pot like pressure cooker twice to rehydrate and cook. That took about 1 hour.
30 mins to prep into pressure canner and 1 hour 15 mins for 10 pint jars to can. About another 20 mins from now to cool and done. Just emptied the bread machine of a nice toasty loaf which took all of 5 mins to prep and the machine does the rest.
Cheaper food, better quality and avoiding all those plant oils that are not good for ya.
LOL!
not very good quality, but not alot of videos of this song ..
That’s a hoot! I thought all my life that was a gal singing those high notes!
How many knew the Beach Boys could turn out one of the corniest songs EVA done ?
I don’t carrot this tune at all !
🧡 !
lol, but seriously monti, it all sounds so good !
and good evening ♥️
Good evening Annie!
oh i love it ..
last full moon of winter will be this saturday
Nice and bright with clear skys in my area right now but still waxing.
Next meteor shower is April I think around 24th.
Good on you! IDK cranberry/October beans… but I’m sure they’ll be delicious. Do you grow these beans yourself? It’s container gardening only for me now. There’s nothing like the smell of homemade bread baking, so yours sounds wonderful.
Often buying foods by the case means it comes out to 1/4 the price (per oz or lb.) of buying it in the store in small increments or packages. Putting it up is one of the most enjoyable things in life… gives me a high-level sense of accomplishment & satisfaction. Very little else in my meager life gives me so much bang for my buck.
It doesn’t make any sense (to me) not to.
Do you use single-use or re-usable canning lids???
I’m getting these this year… I’ll give up the rush of the *ping!* in exchange for not having to buy them every time.
{ https://canninglids.com/product-category/lids-and-gaskets/ }
Hey amaragrace!
The beans I’m working with tonight are dried beans usually sold in a simple plastic bag package that you can purchase in most grocery stores. October aka Cranberry are similar to the old standby Pinto beans but to me better.
Most grocers today do not carry a huge selection of dried beans. I preserve my own produce but my daughters have food sensitivities and so canning these for them and their households.
I hadn’t heard of the reusable canning lids and seals. I will have to try a sample batch. During Covid lids were hard to find and unreasonably priced. Thank you for mentioning them.
(I was aware of the old mason jars with the glass top and a wire lever affair that clamped the top with a rubber seal in between to the jar. Those are really old and you see them sold as novelty items today.)
My personal opinion is that a person is more to be measured by what they can accomplish than what they can purchase. I share your satisfaction at being self sufficient.
Have a great evening.
These are pink beans not Cranberry beans but this is what they look like on the grocer’s shelf in small packages. They were dried (actually allowed to dry) to a very low humidity and will keep several years just like they are. I am only canning these to make it more convenient for my daughters and so they know there are absolutely no additives except a pinch of salt.
You’re welcome – and thanks for teaching me something about beans I didn’t know; that cranberry/October beans are better than pinto. I’m not a bean fan but I might try some.
I love & rescue those vintage glass lid mason & ball jars in the wild @ every chance; I use them in my craft
roompantry.I have some French glass lid w/latch (le Parfait { https://www.leparfait.us/products/le-parfait-super-jar?variant=16492802637890 })
German (Weck { https://weckjars.com/shop/ }),
and some Italian (Fido/Bormiolio Rocco { https://www.bormiolirocco.com/en/products?show=all&collection=50 }) and
Quattro Stagioni from the same Italian company have screw top lids { https://www.bormiolirocco.com/en/brand/2/quattro-stagioni }
which are built for preserving food also; you may prefer them, all are much thicker, heavier & nearly indestructible, more expensive of course but superior (Quattro Stagioni is nearest to comparable to US Ball/Kerr/Mason jars).
All are available new in all sizes from US distributors online (you may find Weck, Quattro Stagioni, & Fido in a local ‘everything’ store, as I have; a specific kitchen store would probably have le Parfait, if you have one of those). I only use these for storing/refrigerating/freezing ingredients & leftovers, and some serving too, because they are lovely and I don’t have as many.
There is another company that makes reusable canning lids for the Ball/Kerr/Mason/Azure jars – a few dollars more expensive but you may prefer them because they have 5 colors…
{ https://www.reusablecanninglids.com/collections/all?page=2 }
Just letting you know there are several options in this direction – probably more by now that I don’t know about – these are just what I’m familiar with personally.
Thank you & have a good night yourself.
Wow, thanks again! Will investigate.
You’re welcome – I’ve done what you proposed with the lids… I’ve got a few of each different makers’ jars over the years and am happy to be able to use them this way & that to find which works best for me. I have to say, I love them all because they are all so tough/strong & I’ve never broken even one – while I’ve broken quite a few ordinary canning jars in various ways, some have broken in the processing (one whole case broke one year – even though they got mixed into the general population & used separately, I know they were from same batch because they all broke in exactly the same oblique way through processing, IDK why, which was a huge & disgusting *actual hot mess* each time when I discovered it; no bueno!) and others have just not held up to other uses 🙁
the only advantage has been their lower cost, imo… but I feel like I’ve already spent too much on replacing this kind.
I don’t like having to buy things again I’ve already bought – planned obsolescence is a scourge on our culture! I do think it’s why those vintage style Ball jars aren’t made affordable anymore in the US for canning , and it grinds my gears (they make latch top jars, but only for storage, “not safe for preserving”). Now, the typicals aren’t so cheap either.
I very much appreciate old things that were made to last and are still functioning perfectly; such as typewriters, made around the turn of the 20thc, that were built like tanks & still work perfectly.
This year I believe I’ll be able to purchase enough more of one single kind of latch top – that have been made the same way for well over a century too, btw – to fill the canner, and just give it a go. I’m confident there will be a successful result and I’ll want more more more. This is an upgrade mode I really wish now had come over me when everything was less expensive; but I will not replace any more – except to try Azure jars. They are new so I don’t have any of them either. I watched a comparison that revealed they weigh heavier than Mason/Ball/Kerr jars of same size – so maybe they’re tougher.
This is another Bormioli Rocco style – I don’t have this one but it says it comes in 2 sizes; “Suitable for the pasteurization process” (comparable to pt & qt but Italy measures in metric so not exactly)
{ https://www.bormiolirocco.com/en/product/559/jar-33-3-4-oz-officina-1825 }
I like this style a lot; I like all glassware & dishware I have from this company; nobody does design like the Italians.
I forgot to say also – Kilner is a British brand – the europeans have it goin’ on with canning jars.
Anyway… TMI I know, but it’s a rabbit hole I enjoy very much.
I hope you enjoy your daughters’ gratitude, praise, accolades when they receive their MOM-canned beans!
I stand corrected – because of this listing for Ball latch top jars for preserving on Amazon.
Sorry I tried to post it, then condense it but it wouldn’t activate either way.
I don’t often/almost never buy from Amazon – they’ve put a lot of small business/people out of business in the last decade and I just don’t feel like helping them/the globalists with that. I’ll buy 2nd hand long before helping corporate creep. And I’m not happy with the Ball jar company for reasons already stated.
But there’s that option too for you.
Also probably they are CCP knockoffs – that scourge is pervasive in many categories on Amazon.
I forgot Kilner latch top canning jars, I have a couple of those also

Psalm 94
1
The Lord is a God who avenges.
O God who avenges, shine forth.
2
Rise up, Judge of the earth;
pay back to the proud what they deserve.
3
How long, Lord, will the wicked,
how long will the wicked be jubilant?
4
They pour out arrogant words;
all the evildoers are full of boasting.
5
They crush your people, Lord;
they oppress your inheritance.
6
They slay the widow and the foreigner;
they murder the fatherless.
7
They say, “The Lord does not see;
the God of Jacob takes no notice.”
8
Take notice, you senseless ones among the people;
you fools, when will you become wise?
9
Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?
Does he who formed the eye not see?
10
Does he who disciplines nations not punish?
Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?
11
The Lord knows all human plans;
he knows that they are futile.
12
Blessed is the one you discipline, Lord,
the one you teach from your law;
13
you grant them relief from days of trouble,
till a pit is dug for the wicked.
14
For the Lord will not reject his people;
he will never forsake his inheritance.
15
Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,
and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16
Who will rise up for me against the wicked?
Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?
17
Unless the Lord had given me help,
I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.
18
When I said, “My foot is slipping,”
your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
19
When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought me joy.
20
Can a corrupt throne be allied with you—
a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?
21
The wicked band together against the righteous
and condemn the innocent to death.
22
But the Lord has become my fortress,
and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
23
He will repay them for their sins
and destroy them for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will destroy them.

kenji??
I have a question for you if you hopefully get this…
you mentioned you collect stamps.
can you rx a good website to find out which are of value?
I’m an old collector, and frankly, my collection just sits (I need to start boring my grandkids with it) … and Scotts has always been the gold standard catalog and pricing guide I’ve always gone to. Some stamps have very nuanced and esoteric differences that greatly influence value. Not so much with newer issues but definitely with older stamps. And condition is EVERYTHING.
https://www.amosadvantage.com/product/2024-SCOTT-US-STAMP-POCKET-CATALOGUE
About the cheapest Guide you can get. And Scotts issues yearly (I think) updates. eBay did to stamp prices what it did to those Blue Norwegian Yule plates my grandmother told me were precious items that would pay for my kid’s education. Nope. There’s millions upon millions of em. Not worth squat.
Thank you so much! We’ll check it out!
“..those Blue Norwegian Yule plates my grandmother told me were precious items that would pay for my kid’s education.”
In a similar vein are German hand-made (by Nuns!) Hummel and Spanish hand-made Lladro porcelain figurines. Once were high value collectibles but then the collectibles market collapsed and never recovered. The younger generations have zero interest…..
