Merry Christmas, patriots! God bless you!
So I attempted to Christmas shop for someone today, and this was my experience-I went in to a few stores, walked around like a zombie, circled the aisles, and left. Came home, stopped for groceries and cat food. I confess, I do most of my "shopping" on line. The stores are full of so much shit! I guess I got overwhelmed and will go tomorrow to the small store in a village close to me and get some quality items, specialty foods, maybe some good wine for a few folks. I do not drink anymore, but I used to, and know what is good. I am a hermit by choice, and the older I get, the less I need to get out and about. I feel like the world has gone crazy and all I see are automatons in the general public. Maybe it is my age, which is fine. The world and all its retail wholesale commercialism is such a turn off. I do have the Christmas spirit, I put the tree I went out and got yesterday up and put all the lights on it, we have some bird and angel ornaments that will go on it tomorrow. I have changed. My spirit is so full, I find myself needing less and less of that world out there and will be content in living small. Modern life has slipped into this rural area, but not in my home. I should have been born 100 years ago, because that's what I would prefer to live in.
My experiences today, eight days before Christmas:
👍
#1 - I do the same. Merry CHRISTMAS.
#Last - Stopped ordering online from major retailers probably close to two years ago now (unless absolutely necessary) and have had the same experience, and the same thoughts. Very bad juju.
Liked the rest of the report. ThanQ for sharing!
Crazycloud, I wish you a very blessed day and may your interpretation of our Lord and King bring you comfort as my interpretation of his word brings me. 🙏
Looking for parenting advice. My son is about to turn 17. He's got intelligence enough to perform well at school, argue logically about an issue, and learn a musical instrument almost instantly. However, he lacks foresight, common sense, and responsibility. He is not taking any steps to plan out his career/education path after high school (this is his final year). He squanders his time. This morning, he woke up on time for work but didn't actually get out of bed in a reasonable amount of time so was running late; instead of being able to walk to work, he had to ride his bike to get there faster, which would be ok except for the fact that this is Canada and the roads and sidewalks are all icy. To top it off, he rode off not wearing a helmet, despite the fact that he's been punished for that before plus had to do a research project on acquired brain injuries, which honestly seemed to have an impact (no pun intended) on him at the time. Punishing him doesn't seem to lead to any change. He's very different from my wife and me, both very responsible people. Not sure how to get him to be more forward-thinking and responsible.
My 25 year old lives with me, and that is fine,I am glad that he does. He helps, he helps me a lot. If he did not live with me I would have to find a boarder for next to no rent to help me keep my place up, we homestead. He went to college for 2 years out of high school, and he ended up losing his loan because he flunked out, or stayed up all night in his dorm and slept through classes. I did not want him to go to college right out of high school, I wanted him to get a job, take time off from establishment education, and find his groove. I knew he was not ready, and, he was a C student, so why go to college? Well , it was his choice and he has paid off most of the loan. I told him if there was something he wanted to learn to do, try some courses after work at a community college. He gets distant and dooming when I ask about his plans for the future, so, I leave him alone about it. He can build computers, do handy man work, work with the disabled, and knows how to care for large animals (loves them and working with them). He wants to stay just where he is. If he has a hankering for city life, he takes trips to Boston for these gaming conventions, goes to Cosplay events, car shows, etc, but loves it at home. He works a 35 hour a week job and hustles moonlighting at odd jobs, is a janitor at our old church, splits and stacks wood for older people, tills gardens in the Spring. We have a saying up here "Moonlight in Vermont or starve". His common sense is not there, lets his car get low on oil, lets his laundry pile up until there's "2 cords of it", will sleep through the alarm unless I get him up, stays up till 4 gaming and then feels like shit in the morning when its time to work. When I was his age, I did not have a lot of common sense either. He has a great work ethic, is kind to elders, does not crave a lot of material things. I think responsibility and common sense come with age, and when I look at his peers that he went to High School with, all I can say is, he is doing great. The future looks like hell for a lot of young adults, who were not born with a silver spoon in their mouths. I think long range plans are not to be expected from a lot of younger people, unless they themselves have them. It seems that no one knows what the future will bring, but he knows that he is at least prepared to keep the homestead running and protected.
I’m sorry I don’t have very good advice. I was the same in many ways. I was very rebellious, partied a lot and wasn’t interested in going to school. In fact after high school I either flunked out or just didn’t go to class. I started at a big university, came home and tried community college. I didn’t change until I feel in love, got married and had a child. I don’t believe you can teach common sense. However you can teach people (especially young people) how to do many things the correct way. Is he interested in learning a trade? Many times we work harder when we enjoy what we are doing. Don’t give up on him. Some of us take longer to get our lives together.
I'm going to assume you neighbors up north have the same problems in your public (and some private) school systems with marxist teachers fomenting the "hate your parents" attitudes. Helmet issue? Just mho, but if I had a 17 year old kid I'd sit him down, tell him I'm not going to yell at him, but explain that it's because I love him and care about him that it tears me up when he takes unnecessary risks, that I know there's pressure on him to "look cool" and that young people think they're indestructible, a fantasy he already knows is not true from (your) previous discussions about head injuries. If it's a girl he wants to impress, tell him that by wearing the helmet he's being intelligent so it's a nice way to weed out the stupid, shallow, cult-of-personality girls he really doesn't need dragging him down into other bad decisions going forward.
Ask him to consider himself twenty years from now, settled down with a woman he loves, a family of their own and how would HE feel if his kid were taking unnecessary risks. Ask him if he had a little brother that was doing something risky where he could get severely hurt, maybe permanently, to consider how he would feel.
Also ask him point blank if he feels he doesn't have a good future. I think a lot of these blase, disaffected attitudes of young people come from their marxist teachers (and/or general manipulated society) telling them that striving for excellence is pointless. They get told that there really is no good future for them so that their motivation will be throttled. He's probably stepping into one of the most amazing time periods in history where motivation and hard work will actually reap just, fair rewards (once we get through this horrible storm and quash the DS).
Finally add that it's ultimately up to him to make his own decisions as he's nearing the age when he's going to start forging his own future. Whether he chooses to listen to others and carefully consider all advice given to him or not, he's ultimately the one who has to live with the consequences of his choices.
A question for you (if I may be so bold). . . Are you pushing him into a certain field (like law?) when he may want to be a musician, for example? He seems to have a passion for music. When I was that age my parents kept telling me that the education and career (in my case engineering) was a means to build a life which would allow me to pursue other passions, that it was a safety net. College may help him focus because he will be around others his age who have chosen to pursue careers and are working towards those goals.
Just spitballing some thoughts. I'm no expert, just an anon with some ideas on the topic who has seen this in many youth over the years. Sorry for this being so long-winded. Good luck.
Great advice!
Please don't apologize for being "long-winded"; I actually sincerely appreciate how much time you spent responding to me, a stranger. Thank you, kindly.
You're welcome. One last point. Inre "... if he's not the best, he believes (he) sucks. ...". That attitude needs an adjustment. If he can change his perspective from "I can't do that." to "That's amazing! How did he do that?" and then put in the time and effort to improve, he will get better. That's not to say he'll be as good as those with a natural talent for something, but he doesn't have to be. He just has to try and improve. I've always looked at people who have a skill set I admire as an inspiration and someone to learn from. In big things and minor ones as well.
I look at Jacques Pepin's knife-cutting skills, try to watch his hand position, his technique and try to learn. I have no expectation of becoming as good as JP at that, but I've gotten much better so that makes me very happy. Learn from others better than you and be thankful they are that good so you have an opportunity to observe and improve yourself. Glass half full.
What to do with kids? Unfortunately life in itself will teach all of us very valuable lessons and responsibilities. He is at the know it all age, as my sweet daddy always said to my brothers(I was the compliant on) “go ahead bullhead you will learn that bull horns will hook”, and they did learn eventually. But as parents, or at least as good parents we want to protect them. The only advice I can offer is prayer. I prayed for my daughter to be protected as she had to learn life . She was always smart and gave me no problems, but this is the same daughter that took the jab just so she could keep her job as a teacher. Now she is pregnant with my grand baby and I have to just daily give it to God. Cho ices have consequences.
Thanks, SuzyeQ. Will definitely keep praying. I'll also pray for your daughter and grand baby and hope you'll return the favor. Although I know God hears and responds to the prayers of a solitary individual, there is some kind of extra power unleashed when more people unite in prayer.
When 2 or 3 are gathered in HIS name, and our children are our heartbeats. Satan knows where to hit us, but everyday I lift them up to HIM for protection. Your son will be just fine because he has great loving parents. I’m praying for you. ❤️🙏🏻

Jaco, in his last recorded concert, less than a year before his demise.
I was wondering about that Qdrop that said "up is down, left is right" or something like that. Maybe its got something to do with the recent newest science nobel prize, the one about quantum entanglement.
Hmmm.
How come when I go to Camero's post slapping a fish in the face of religious fundamentalists it indicates that it is stickied (Got that sticky formatting), but if I click on Hot, it doesn't appear in the Stickied section?
Moreover, I cannot even see the text in the body of the post any more.
Tried this several times with two different browsers, so I know it's not mah cookies or sumting.
Asking for a pede.
(Not that I'm keen to promote the post. Feels a LOT more divisive than productive to me, but anyway..... )
Text of the body missing is likely because you hid it. Go into your profile page, choose Hidden and press hidden to toggle it back (to not being hidden).
Edit-- I just checked and it seems the post body is just nuked. I haven't come across this before, not a "hide"/"hidden" issue after all. Under the circumstances I'm guessing the mods shadow banned this post. Check with mods.
Are you thinking fundamentalism is something to aspire to? And what exactly do you mean by that?
Where can I see this post? I can not find it
No.
By what?
Are you saying fundamentalists are divisive?
No. I made a comment in the post which you can read to see my thoughts on the post. I didn't make any comment about 'fundamentalists' in general.
My concern about the post in question is that a board member essentially takes a massive swipe at a significant sector of our community. Whether I agree with, like, dislike or dismiss the views of members of our community, I don't think it's helpful or productive to take a big swipe - ie. essentially launch an attack - on them.
I also think the complaints or criticisms could have been expressed in a constructive way, which I don't think they were.
I agree with you.
Yeah, it was stickied, but it isnt anymore. And yeah, just checked, it looks like it has become a sticky mess, lol.
Of all the boards I visit, this is my favorite. I am supposed to be at my day of rest but am having trouble resting. And that is in a good way. I just asked God to tell me if its ok, because the news is making me so happy, I want to explode. God is here right now, and he really wants to communicate with us. He won't force you to pay attention to him, it is always your choice whether you are willing to talk to him. I posted a video the other night about who the Anti-Christ really is. I have since reached the conclusion that again, as with all the other crap we hear, is only half true.
Later, I am going to post some things to think about in the way as Q does, do not believe me immediately, without just empty what you have been taught. And receive The Great Awakening, those are not just words, it's for real and it's happening. I got a woman to receive a conformation of my use of santa. When she was leaving, I asked her to just relax and calmly drive home and pay attention. She called me only a couple minutes later, she was so excited she had to pull over she couldn't wait to call me, she only lives around the corner. 😂 When she hit the power button on her radio there was the word, and only the word --santa, so she just had to press it, and the song came on, here comes santa clause, here comes santa clause, she heard those lines and shut it off. The use of the word santa for the evil one was what we had just been talking about! Baam, she just woke up, and realized God wants to communicate with us. How many times does Q have to tell us, there are no coincidences until we really believe it. God has been showing us with Trump that he is helping him. Was the Q lightening real, I hope so, we saw God take out the Georgia Guidestones, most people bought the fake video. Known Physics says that the lights got a huge burst of energy, explosions do not cause lights to brighten. The George Floyd Mural, how many times have they tried to kill Trump, the santa media even had to admit it was a miracle he won.
We must stop bashing the victims in this Vax hoax. My friend and her daughter were both fooled, and many here want to laugh at her when God has shown HER personally that he cares about her. Have you EVER in your life been fooled
Remember, vengeance is mine saithe the Lord, God is delivering his vengeance in real time on camera for everyone to see. Who does God really Love the most, and who is santa going after full force. Remember that evil comedian, that claimed God loved her the most. What happened to her instantly--- yet we still don't believe. That Bible Trump has been handed down to him and what it represents is also important. It represents a revival of the true Church or pretty close.
I am becoming so aggravated by spell check that I have to stop. I started righting this hours ago, I have been fighting it the whole way. I can no longer look at the screen as I type. I liked it when you wrote what you wanted to and then sit back and hit spell check. But now it interrupts you with suggestions that make no sense at all, if I goof up and hit click on that little blue blob it takes about 3 minutes to fix the mess it made, which might be taking a sentence somewhere else and repeating it. And it keeps putting 3 dots at the end of some sentences. Look at my mood when I started, and what it became--- I just reread my post.
I also think I am being told not to do this until after the Sabbath. Bye Bye for now. and God Bless us all.
I just came back to say, I believe that there were Angels guiding those children in the disney thing, out of all the combinations that they could have made, this is what happened. santa does not want to be exposed, so who did it. Haven't we been told to expand our thinking?

Thi is about sentient living crystals ..fascinating
Not surprising at all, considering Revelations has the exact description of the crystals/minerals to construct the new kingdom
I love crystals lol
Me too...got a kit for a child about growing your own....I want to teach them all about them and their healing properties
I have a special Amethyst I picked out 30 years ago from a rock finding quary. I keep it in a sealed box and comes out when I need to feel reflection back into my body. The power is amazing.
Spoiler
in advance:I
am about to typejust posted my HOLD THE LINE #775.You will NOT believe who the Saint of the Day is.🤩
I probably will.
Updoodle for consistency
It’s Q day! God bless us all!
No! today is God's Day, remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. The sabbath was changed. People believe in the change, because the penalty is iternal damnation. I don't think that threat has bothered santa at all
To me santa is the new word for- the one whos name we will not say. According to God, words have power, and I won't allow him to use me to get power. Also do not give even the tiniest bit and using a capitol.
Amen! Today IS God’s day. I won’t give that entity from down below any power by swearing, either. I also believe that Saturday is the sabbath.
I don't think God said Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy, for no reason. Most of my life I thought it was Sunday, until someone showed me other little things mis translated and I started to investigate.
Well as a believer in Christ, I think everyday is Christ’s day :-)
But you still have to do what your Father tells you to, or get punished. It's your choice.
Yes it is, celebrate his love every day every hour and so forth, but why not do as God himself told us and keep the Sabbath holy. He did not tell us that to have us just blow off if it doesn't fit your narrative.
I am sorry it pisses me off how many people choose to do it their own way even if God specifically told us not to. Be careful he might give you an appropriate spanking, just like any good father would. I got one once, and it was appropriate and immediate. He showed me, long story, that I should be ashamed for even asking him the question I did. He did not hurt me even though he very easily could have knocked me to the moon and back if he wanted. He only gives the appropriate punishment, nothing more nothing less
