Yes, according to democrat socialist John Kerry ‘We Must Sacrifice Billions Of Humans To Save Planet Earth’

Yes, we are the largest theeat to humanity!

According to Mr Kerry, ‘ Despite a vast array of empirical facts beyond any shadow of reasonable doubt, despite thousands of scientists’ lifetime work accumulating hard data, and without a single piece of peer-reviewed, documentation to the contrary, we are again witnessing another moment in which the persuasive force of evidence and with it, Earth’s future hangs in the balance.“

I find it hard to understand the violent verbal diarrhea from these liberals like Kerry these days. It is pure hate speech directed at the average Joe and Jill. Don’t be mislead. Unlike the voodo science wanting us to grow stomachs like birds have and eat bugs, there is real science out there.

I have two houses, the main one and the antique farm house. I rent the farmhouse. Last tenant was 23 years and was killed in a plant explosion. His best bud moved in and has been here for 6 years. Fit in nicely to the routine on the farm and helping out.
He is a smoker and drinker. Ended up with lung cancer over a year ago. Radiation and chemo and all good to go. Then arm swelled due to radiation. Fluid in chest..in hospital to drain a gallon. Ok.. Then VA put him back on maintenance chemo. He got up the other day and sick. Called daughter, into VA hospital.
She called yesterday. He was due to have surgery to drain pus caused by staph infection, super bad. Did shoulder, spine, cause he had a T12 compression fracture. And the hip replacement. Got agitated and they induced comma. She was there and so was a PRIEST! Gather the family. They put him on a ventilator. She spent the night. This morning they went into to check heart, two valves infected and he is too sick to operate. Last she said they were doing an MRI at noon to see if staph is in brain. IF so, with antibiotics not working, they will bring him out of comma, take off ventilator and allow family their good byes!
I told her do not let them give up on him!! She said definitely not! I have not heard news since. Test was to be done by 3 and it is almost 5.
He is 58 years old. A lawyer and good guy. One day it all hits the fan and all she wrote.
It will not be the loss of the 23 year one, but sure rocks my world and farm. He surely did not deserve it. 23 year tenant was crushed to death when building landed on him. His sister choked to death last week at 56. And now his bud suffers and all with cancer and the problems the great medical industry gave him. Radiation destroys lymph system and chemo and radiation destroys immune system. And hospital visits gave him staph.
I am healthy cause I NEVER go near medical system nor Doctors!

What are we doing here? Why are we here? Do we actually find love here? View profile, read summary and description, maybe get a like, a "hi there", and then...nothing? What?

Is this site really where singles connect, or is it just an admission that online dating is a joke, or are we just here because everyone else that we know is living their lives and having families of their own and this is just how we can connect, by doing the same thing we do on Facebook and Twitter (or X)?

Are we even connecting, or just reacting?

I am cold! Why is 55 so warm in January and so cold in October!? Got the doors on to enclose the deck and steps end of the loggia. Moved the plant pots up that will winter in the house once freeze comes. Including "Igor" the decades old Angel Trumpet plant that weighs a ton. I am mean..I lop his heads off now. Enough trying to wrestle a 6 foot tall plant in the house. I also have 2 of his kids to bring in. And spider plants. So long empty hallway.
I had late kittens. 3 from "Gator" and 4 from "Blanket". The 3 were super floof balls. Found homes and hated to see them go. NO! Enough cats! The 4 were black and tuxedo and one grey. Blasted possum got into the loggia and ate the grey. That was settled..possum got to eat 3 bullets also. Dang they are tanks!!
I want to keep 2 blacks once I decide which. I am tired of almost white cats. Especially since I wear black mostly. Thanks for the fur coat gang!
Had heavy rain yesterday. In living room and..?? Why are there water drops on floor? Look up at wood paneled ceiling and two drops hanging at seam. I did this roof maybe 10 years ago. And just cleaned it off and it looks good. So..maybe..water pooled on flat porch and back fed? So next week, up with can of Leak Ender and see if I find anything. Always something.
I am using two space heaters. Wood is not done. Tenant is ill and swears he will do and doesn't. So called neighbor who is like son, and hunter and they will haul the rest up and do it. I don't want to start wood furnace anyway. Once it is going, I have to deal with wood for whole winter. A month less is I uncovered the fire place flue so can use that first if I wish. Or not. I cover so in spring I dont get any more blasted ducks down it!
Hay is stowed. Corn coming in and soon I can hibernate.

Next year, it'll be ten years since my Scottish adventure began. Ten years since I uprooted my entire life and moved across the North Sea, to seek something new. Trying to make it in another country.

I loved every second of being in Scotland. From the food to the people, it was a wonderful place to live. Relatively cheap, stunning to look at and full of amazing experiences. I felt at home there, for some reason. After I took a DNA test, it became clear why, seeing as I am 30.9% English. At least, that's according to the test. Maybe that was the reason I felt at home there?

Recently, I have been fighting the urge to go there again, to live and work. Yes, I love the US, and I really do appreciate Denmark for what it is - but the UK is tempting me again.

I have been looking for warehouse jobs there, and so far I have found a few that I would love to investigate further. One of them is at Amazon, but I need to keep looking for the perfect job. I am very happy with my current job, however, so it's not something I am going to apply for tomorrow. Once I have had my 40th birthday, I will start looking. That gives me 7 months to really dig deep and ask myself "Is this really what I want?"

I can already tell the answer is yes, because I loved it so much the first time!

Life is short..Use your time well..Try to be happy you should give yourself what makes you happy and don't wait for others to give you happiness
Always smile...smile gives you positive energy

I see the new trades will be homes. When a new truck starts at 36K but, no dealer has them under 80K and some are running $110,000, the only way the average person can buy is to trade in their house! Or if not, be sure to buy a SUV/van because they will end up living in it!
I don't care how much houses are these days. I know in some areas and states..you can STILL buy a small house for 50K or there abouts.
The house may be a fixer upper. But the vehicle is a loss from the moment you sign that title. I always said never buy a car newer than five years old. By then the re-calls are mostly seen. The major depreciation is off, like driving it off the lot. And the lemons are lunched out and engines blown up.
Car-vanna is flooded with re-pos that they ask new price for and can't dump. Dealers are calling people begging for them to buy and trade in because the market is best on used.
Electric is shoved down peoples throats even tho the grid can't handle them and there are few charging stations. Add the cost of electricity rising. For a real view, call an EV owner in the Gaza strip and ask how charging is going for them. One glitch and they are done.

Was a fantastic man


Just thought I'd share that with you all before going to bed

When we were in school, it was the be all, end all. Now suddenly, I end up at my 55th class reunion. What the heck happened and when?
As some of you know, I am a recluse. But, managed to drive all the way, dressed up and dealt with humans. It was interesting. I got to see my gal pals that we hung from grade school on to after a bit after graduation.
It showed how we all aged. Some of the people looked like they did a few years ago. Some changed to the point of even after reading name tags..still had no clue who they were. Some were spry and agile and able and some looked like tomorrow would be their last day on earth. Women for the most part had lost curves and added pounds. Some men had added waaaayyy more pounds. Double chins, sagging skin and wrinkles. Some managed to avoid lots of it and other didn't. Hard of hearing, walking with canes and repeating what they said already 3 times.
I told one neighbor guy I took no pills at all and he said I had to be about the only one there. This is the time of heart attacks, stokes, arthritis and difficulty walking.
I got home by 9 pm. Went to bed and slept for the most part of 11 hours. Next will be 60 years and it will probably end up seeing whos left.
Got a photo with the kids from grade school, all neighbors..6 of us. Exchanged phone numbers I know no one will ever call. Some of my class still work, at least part time. Some have traveled lots and one came from DC and one from AZ and one from Alaska. I made it 14 miles.
Now I can crawl back into my isolation and farm. Whew..I made it!

You know, one of those days where you've wanted to quit on the spot.

Today was one of those days.

We have something at work called innight. It's where all the next-day orders are packed and shipped at around 5 pm. It's separate from the other orders we process, and they usually being picked after noon. There are two types of orders: Customer orders and stock-orders. Customer orders are self explanatory. The stock orders are for overflow or just for stocking up at the various garages. On a busy day, we get perhaps 40 innight orders, however today was different. We had 40 orders by 10 am, and they just kept coming. My boss is on holiday this week, so I run the innight show. Sometimes I wish I didn't.

It got so bad, that we only focused on the orders for customers - stock orders had to wait. If we had the time to pack stock orders, we would pack those as well. Spoiler alert: We didn't have time for those, so they are waiting for the morning shift.

We have been told time and time again, that stock orders would stop coming - but they are still coming in. I will give credit to the new hire. He did a fantastic job. I just hope tomorrow and Friday will be different.

And just to clarify: No, I am not quitting my job anytime soon. They will have to fire me, which isn't going to happen any time soon, thankfully.
