“Look, we’ve been over this before. The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. But I guess we’ll have to do this the hard way, like we used to do on the South Side.”

Woke up this morning to a stray cat playing with a dead mouse on my lawn. Welcome to Saturday. 🐈

It’s weird to think that if I still had my Twitter account, it would now be old enough to vote.

She was born dec 10 1960. I added better pictures of the location her belongings were found. The last time she was seen was November 13th at her apartment at 16:30. The last message she sent was at 21:37 from Walmart in Nanaimo November 13th. The last known location of her phone in Lantzville has been visited and the belongings from her vehicle were thrown all over the road, along with the jacket she would have been wearing last night at Walmart. Currently there is no proof she was in Lantzville. Only that her belongings were found on a logging road and that her phone's last ping was deep in the woods coordinates of the phone's locked location are 49.22796° N, 124.08568° W. The phone's last ping locked at that location exactly at midnight. If anyone has any information on the whereabouts of the vehicle or her, please inform the RCMP.

Increasingly of the opinion that the only American leader at a national or international level whom I respect, and who is worthy of my respect, is Pope Leo XIV, and I’m not even Catholic.

Just leaving this here: I had fewer problems assembling a laptop, installing Ubuntu on it, and running all the necessary updates for it last night than I’ve had this morning just trying to send email through Outlook.

WTF, Microsoft?

As an old guy, it will never not be amazing to me that something as small as this thumb drive can have multiple complete operating system .iso files loaded on it.

I don’t talk about religion much here. I figure that if you live what you believe, you shouldn’t have to tell people about it. But when Dolly Parton’s sister asks for prayers for Dolly, you damn well better believe I’m gonna pray for Dolly. She’s one of the best of us.
Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn't been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She's strong, she's loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she's going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you!
