My 7 month old Springer Poodle x had the rite of passage this evening. I was hoping the skunks up north here had already gone into hibernation mode, but, no, of course they havn't. Luckily I had the peroxide, the Dawn, V-8 juice. Damn, I've always had dogs and it always happens. It must have been right on the front steps, looking to munch on pumpkins. Pepe LaPew.
Oh no that’s awful. The skunks have definitely not run off to hibernate here down South. They are all over the place.
Together we are strong. Together through Christ we have endless potential

The Constitution of Liberty, by F. Hayek
The second most difficult book I've ever attempted to read. And probably one of the most important.

The Law, by Frédéric Bastiat.
"The Law" opened up my eyes to the entire question of what the true foundation of "law" is, and what the abuse of law is. It's the kind of stuff the founding fathers were raised on.

Bastiat's work was written in 1850, but expresses a lot of the thought concepts that fed into the American Revolution.
With the video, suggest ripping and listening to as a podcast/audiobook. Not much to 'watch' on that.... heheh.

A 16 year old girl from one of the ice arenas where I play hockey committed suicide a couple months ago. She was on a high school hockey team and apparently had been bullied and tormented via text messages and social media. That information has just come out about the bullying. There was an article on a local news site about it today and let me tell ya.... it’s so disturbing what these kids are capable of. This might gain some national attention, hopefully it does because this s$&t needs to stop right effing now. I kind of lost it this morning. This beautiful, talented girl about to start her senior year. Gone. If you have any kids or work with them etc, maybe have a conversation and let them know you care.

Suspension? That’s it? These girls should be held responsible in some way. I’m sure some time in jail would help deter their bullying issues.
Idk It seemed like a lot of “you won’t have any friends after this” type of stuff. It seemed worse than how you described. It’s under investigation. Players suspended.
Can we talk about sex?
I spent most of my life with a fairly hedonistic attitude. That's changed, but I don't know where to draw the lines. What constitutes adultery/sin? Sex outside of marriage, sure. But what's sex? Does that include oral and other activities? My mother and father have admitted to doing oral pre-marriage, yet they considered themselves devout Christians. If the answer is yes, it includes all sensual activity, then that means kissing too? Petting? Cuddling? Taking it that far seems kinda silly, but I dunno.
What about just looking? Is looking at a naked woman a sin? Probably, you shouldn't tempt yourself. But what about, say, a woman in a bikini? Does not sinning mean never going to a beach? Half the women in public dress like whores nowadays, I find even just walking through a mall to be a very distracting ordeal. Does not sinning mean removing myself from society? That doesn't seem right. Where do you draw the lines?
All advice is welcome.
If you think that a quantum existence God that transcends dimensions actually cares what his favorite flesh and blood organisms do with their bodies, then you're being a bit unrealistic. You could say this line of thought excuses homosexuality or transgenderism, but the difference is a woman in sexy clothes or you hooking up with a random coworker doesn't violate NATURAL laws and the way humans were designed whereas chopping off your penis or sodomy are absolutely violating natural laws and intelligent design. The sin of cheating isn't the sex itself, it is the emotional and existential betrayal of the church - bride system that marriages emulates. It's the breaking of a vow and of consciousness. That's why multiple marriages worked. There was no vow breaking. However, in today's work what woman wouldn't feel jealousy or resentment towards another? Most polygamous situations are based purely in lust and are absolutely sinful. Even then, that lust usually isn't of pure consciousness. It's why teenagers making out or college students hooking up can be free of sin, because many times the consciousness is clear and it is simply an exploration of ones sexual consciousness.
Modern religion is no different from Islam or Sharia law in that it attempts to control what humans do, even down to how they dress in the name supposed morality or values. Those women are not whores, they may be trying to attract the male of the species or impose dominance on the other females around her, but it does not mean she is morally flawed or sinful.
As for your own reponse, it is natural and healthy to appreciate aesthetic beauty around you. The difference is, does the cute girl in booty shorts at the mall make you cheat on your monogamous partner? Does the mere thought of that girl in those shorts make your loved one unattractive or less worthy? If it does, the problem lies solely on your own lack of conviction or resolve and perhaps attempting to be virtuous is beyond you.
And truly, it may be unnecessary. Monogamy is absolutely the best for raising children and monogamy is the best for establishing deep and personal friendship with your partner. However, I don't think one should hold themselves celibate until they meet THE one. A lot of people here believe in pair bonding and I assure you it's absolute BS. It only applies to lower domain humans and they're lost regardless of what they do.
The truth is a lot of people here would have no issue going full theocracy and eventually Sharia. I see no difference between militant Christianity and Islam, both should be eradicated from the planet so the true faith in Christ may prosper.
Just live fren, live.
Jesus said, 'If you look with lust in your heart' . It's one thing to notice beauty, another to wish you could 'get a room' with the person. I agree, women are responsible to dress in a way that does not lead men into temptation. (And, yes I am one!) Men are responsible to respect her choice to remain a virgin until marriage- and she should respect his, if he shares this is his desire.
As far as pre-marital, I'd give more lee-way to an engaged couple, but would also suggest they marry as soon as they can get enough together to get their own place. Intent to marry really is a key here: when couples jump the gun, but then marry, I think we are better off treating them with grace.
"Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”
It's not what you do, but the heart and mind with which you do it.
When you look at a member of the opposite sex, do you see them with God's eyes, thinking how precious they are and how you can love them without a selfish heart, or do you see them with fallen eyes, thinking of how they can fulfill your desire and needs?
This is the dividing line.
If God blesses a marriage, it means He has given his blessing and permission for that couple to engage in conjugal love. Such love outside of God's blessing is not God's. And if it's not God's, well, who's is it? We know the answer to that question.
Very well put! Tyvm
You could always just "soak" it like the mormons.
Why don't you be guided by your own conscience and not obey what other people think and say. There are enough chains and laws put on us by globalists controllers without having to bow down to what the neighbours or your parents or church think.
It's your life...live it
And consider what you would consider 'faithful' behavior for your significant other, as well. Would you be ok with the same guidelines for both of you? Where does friendship versus emotional commitment (even platonic) for those outside of your 'couplw' bond begin and end.
Never mentioned couple .....never mentioned faithful
It doesn't matter how many laws are brought in people will disobey if they choose to.
You cannot command another person or coerce another
Your conscience is the guide for you...not others.
As Gurdjieff pointed out man thinks he is one....he is not...
.unless he has developed willpower.... reached I AM ...master of his house.....and in control of the many 'selves' a man has then no one is in a position to make a promise he can keep to another as first one then another will take temporary control and behave differently than another 'self' ....
If he wants to lose weight he does need the will to do it on his own. But since you are cooking for him, it sounds like you have a huge amount of influence. I am a big believer in bite size chunks. Literally in this case:) That means eating less of the dessert items . Sugar is completely addictive. I suspect if he cuts that out, the pounds will drop off. Also cutting back on the beer and alcohol will make a big difference. However cutting sugar is easier said than done. Since you like to bake you can wean him gradually be providing healthier desserts, more fruit & less sweetened cereals. Baking with natural sweeteners like maple syrup and coconut sugar are a good way to gradually wean off the sugar addiction. Gradual is better to wean the tastebuds, depending on what style of baking you have done. You can start by substituting part of the sugar in a recipe with a healthier choice. Gradually incorporating more fresh fruit and vegetables and eating healthier and healthier over time can help the cravings lessen.
Lastly he needs to accept and love himself as he is. That means stop criticizing and judging himself saying he is obeast! He is doing the best he can and best wishes to you both!
Taking magnesium supplement can stop sugar and chocolate cravings
I’m not disagreeing, it has never had that effect on me.
mental note to self: avoid magnesium.
I appreciate that! He doesn't look down on himself for his weight. ;) He needs a nudge to get going with fat burning exercise and giving up the comfort foods.
I just went to a new dodge dealership to have my car serviced. My service advisor had we the people tattooed on his forearm! We hit it off immediately! So grateful to find a new place to take my car.
Just came here to say was on the road this last month and met many like minded Americans, all races, and military. What a great pick me up to see so many Patriots!!

Siggi's skyr is amazing! Thick yogurts are so much better than runny/thin ones.
My personal favorites are Yami sweet plain, and Kalypso fig. If you can find them, i HIGHLY recommend them! The Yami is very thick and rich, and so flavorful by itself (though it can be really special with a small spoon of jam or a touch of honey). The Kalypso is really unique because its got a slightly granular texture, idk its so pleasant (and the fig is so freaking good)
I freaking adore yogurt lol
Good stuff.
3x the protein as typical yogurt.
they are always packed with extra sugar, the catch.
So we have created a Prayer Garden Network bio link that has links to all the ways across social media u can take part in Prayer Garden. Please check it out. It's still a work in progress so please let me know if anything needs fixing https://prayergarden.go.studio/
What irks me is that all the supposedly conservative talking heads, except Mark Levin, talk about how "it's the economy!", when it's THE NATION! The economy is almost a distraction from the underlying cancer that has been increasingly affecting our nation. If Republicans would call out ALL Democrats for their direct or indirect involvement with the breakdown of so many of the fundamentals of our country/society; family, sovereignty, free-market economy (although Republican's haven't exactly been guardians of a free-market economy), and others I can't think of right now. Republican's need to repeatedly say, "you voted for Obama because he said he wanted to fundamentally change our country; now you are getting a taste of that change!".
Pole shift? Is it happening? Is it a deep state distraction? Is it a cycle and were the pyramids built to ward future generations?
No...it's not true...Clif high posted about this..said Hapgood was wrong and they can prove it using the pyramids.
I am sick of the CIA. Just listened to Richard hall a British researcher on the Charles Manson murders...they involved so many Hollywood drug takers Cary Grant mamma and Poppa's Frank Sinatra Dean Martin etc etc that the CIA got the mafia to front up very expensive lawyers working for free and turned what waß just sordid drug dealing pimps turned murderers over bad deals etc into something else to shift it away from the film stars who turned up that night looking for drugs . The list of stars would amaze you that are really just mafia
Didn’t Sinatra’s mafia connections get JFK elected? Seems like it was Frank & JFK’s dad working together.
I don't know ....the mafia is much bigger than people think.
The Vatican controls the mafia...and we know who controls the Mafia
Hapgood was a CIA shill, paid to push bad theory.
They tried to bury the truth.
