After my mom died I took  in her cat. Cat had been a stray that someone had rescued. I did not let the cat out but outside found us, one Thanksgiving morning I came home from
church and was sitting on my couch reading while the cat played with a stuffed animal - until it occurred to me that I didn't own a grey stuffed animal.
Squirrel had gotten into the basement ( we surmised through the chimney or something) and they had a royal battle down there, by the looks of it.. until the cat prevailed.... My neighbor kindly came over to assist me, I tried very hard to be an independent woman but was not prepared to deal with disposing of a dead squirrel....

Don't worry. All will be great as soon as we conquer Iceland.

The need is urgent.
Be fair.  No head games.
Don't be as cold as ICE.  That was yesterday. 
Do away with this double vision.  It makes me hot blooded.

I've been waiting, for a post like this to come into my life.

The trouble with blind faith (not the band) is that the faithful come to believe that faith is knowledge.  Faith is never knowledge.  Part of the problem is that everybody thinks they know the truth but the truth is they only know what they think.

And now we know why Minter didn't want to talk to Cleveland.

The founding fathers were men of the enlightenment not Jehova.  I must agree with Bill Hoyle.  As for feeding the less fortunate and welcoming forieners, that would seem to be the Christian thing to do

Bunch of old boomers in here thinking Crowder and kolek wouldn't cook some dudes from the 70s lol

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on January 22, 2026, 03:35:44 PMA pastor at a church I attended (and with whom I still stay in touch) said during a sermon, "When politics and religion are combined, both are corrupted."

Sounds like a commie church to me!
What's next welcoming foreigners? Feeding the less fortunate?

My beagle-lab ended two chipmunks this summer. He was a very good boy.
