“It's a universal law - intolerance is the first sign of an inadequate education. An ill-educated person behaves with arrogant impatience, whereas truly profound education breeds humility.”

Well despite all the rough situations these days —offer rustic, simple, and a beautiful place to escape for your next big vacation. Sicily is a beautiful island to visit that has good food, historic sites, lovely people, and affordable accommodations—flight not so much cheap.

Here’s a meme if you wish to use. Its stands proven (quote) since men became corrupt.

A beloved relative told me he thought he was going to start a war with a country & stay in office bc the Declaration of Independence had a law that called for it.

I was stunned. No love that is a historical document calling for INDEPENDENCE from England. Constitution has laws & it’s not in there.

“My Heart at Wounded Knee” (book)

“…. explores the history of American expansionism in the American West in the late nineteenth century and its devastating effects on the Indigenous peoples living there….”

Here’s a copy of a video from Canada. He does a fine job of the push against any focused “blame” or raison d'être for power control.

Again—not my video.

…to a store to buy milk. There are millions who can’t physically go in person who vote both parties. Surgical patients, pregnant, sick, working, military/overseas, or even bed bound/disabled. Voting is crucial to true democracy.

GOP’s underwear is now showing up brazenly to their constituents. What the once truly thought and cared about was kept away from the public view—now they don’t care. I need a t-shirt that states what’s below:

Good article in “ BBC History” magazine on Roman Emperors and how they behaved—and authoritarianism as well. Knowing history should keep you from repeating the bad history IF you were informed honestly. Article is apt for today’s headlines.

Suffer from Rosacea … mine is from kissing or exposure to my skin from the wrong person who had the condition. Unfortunately mine is from “parasites/mites” that irritate my skin. What do I use to treat?

Ivermectin cream. It solved my problem after one year of use—rather expensive as well.

My only guess is shishito. 1 out 10 peppers will be really hot—the rest flavor is tasty, but not crazy heat.

Ditto. It’s always results based outcomes they use as a weapon. Teachers have very little autonomy in curriculum based decisions—even when we are on committees. However I will say “Blue States” focus a lot on academics and as much as sports.

Lost Mom one month ago now and my Dad in 2005. Both passed from pneumonia from aspiration. It’s a part of having dementia/Alzheimers.

My Dad was my step-father who raised me w/Mom as if he created me. He was phenomenal as a father!

I’m glad I haven’t cried posting this!

Exactly.

They “want” to control the California “Cash Cow” for their own agenda.

Want to see the big picture of how involved the White/Christian Nationalist is involved in current mishagas? Read this from 2007 and see how it aligns with our current events—its author had prescient state of their plan fulfilled.

Excellent read and you will understand more than you wish.

I’m on a mini-trip this week & had a long drive to reach my destination. Bought the Audio version of this book (2007) - promise you if you read/listen to it you will see the plan by Christian Nationalist come to current fruition. Makes sense now what project 2025 and those in congress/SCOTUS plan.

Know a relative who LOVES to do this craft. It calms him to work on the figures. We call it “ scrapbooking” after his grandmother compared it to her scrapbooking—which she loved as well as calm her.
