Does that imply 15% less fed funding?

That idea of a community garden is such a good idea!! I think I will play with that-maybe setting aside a few raised beds for 'company' this spring... Helmet sticker!!

I was with you until that retirement thing! lol!! The bkyd garden has spoiled me. And the quiet has caused me to be able to think...even to think about thinking! The city never allowed that. And to go back to it once I've lost my reflexes AND patience? lol!! I do wish you well in your desires.

so sorry to hear that. I didn't fully understand it until I had a bout with it. wow. Can't stand/sit/lay... I've prayed for you.

Your dna disagrees with you! lol!! We got ours (senators, ex athletes, etc) that we must work with. Life is hard. But, we cannot lose hope or let go of the rope...

Blink if you need help, sir...

Be sure, I'm looking at them, not you.

While they may not have your heart, they are yours. And if they are to be confronted/encouraged...between you and I, that is your task. You probably should acknowledge the distrust (created by them) might keep you from being heard over here. So, that hard task is yours. Be strong. Via Con Dios.

Maybe this encouragement would be better served by you taking it to your kin-folk. They seem to be the problem. If they stop acting out, then the problem would go away. And as we've seen, they are breeding a new crop of racists. That maybe fertile ground for your ideas.

And Black Americans say "pass the popcorn"

LOL!! I didn't know this existed until I saw your post! I love her comments! He surrounds himself (as trump does) with yes folks and those that won't confront his foolishness (self aggrandizement), thus he falsely assumes his brilliance (sound familiar?). Thanks for the laugh!

I wonder if she was a 'woman' in her early teens? Therapy...

So, once you've been bitten by the bad dog, and the owner says that its been trained, are we then to pet it? Naw. Let me see it roll over first. Then let me hear its paid my medical. Otherwise, nty.

Whose money was she intending to use for that 25k? Was that 'trickle up' econ? lol! I'm joking, but both parties are working against us...I don't want us to lose the plot.

In Silence of the Lambs, the agent asks "what happened to you?"-along the same lines.
The answer mirrors what's in scripture. Evil is real...the catalyst happened in the garden. I don't try to understand or reason with them. But I do understand your point.

Is this the MO for the gop? he and the house head(sic) seem to have mastered it.

Mine didn't address 'doing'...as I read it, it seemed to be addressing hypocrisy. Maybe if scripture spoke of christians surrounding the jails and demanding Paul's release? Instead, what was modeled was praying, in community, at home.

“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand ... at the street corners, that they may be seen by others... But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you."

just out of his reach...
