I didn’t read it all because a pop up said it was scanning my device. Closed that immediately, WTH!

Ha ha maybe so. If AT&T and BCBS can get hacked I know I can.
Seems a massive X class solar flare is incoming.

That site looks to be lacking any sort of intelligence.
I look through it occasionally, mostly crap but one can find something interesting from time to time. Mostly grifters though, I get a laugh from time to time with some of the content. This guy is a YouTube guy that just monitors solar events, there is another that monitors earthquakes and volcanic activity around the world and is pretty accurate on predicting earthquakes.
If they don’t kill us by vax, bacteria mosquitoes, food, manmade meat, prescription drugs and cancer treatments they will do it through clean products. Our skin is the biggest organ and absorbs everything good or bad. These toxins in body wash, shampoo, shaving products, sunscreen, household cleaners is one of the cancer causes. Sugar is probably another cause, cancer feeds on it.
I’m researching, trying to find a non toxic dish soap and found a great website. Using even a clean product with coconut derived ingredients turns my hands to sand paper texture. Dawn is like pouring acid on them.
Here are some of the ingredients that you don’t want to find in your dish soap:
DMDM Hydantoin and quaternium-15 are formaldehyde releasing preservatives. They also are respiratory irritants. Formaldehyde is a potent allergen and is classified as a carcinogen by the Department of Health and Human Services and the World Health Organization.
Isothiazolinone preservatives such as Benzisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Octylisothiazolinone inhibit bacterial growth. Methylisothiazolinone and Methylchloroisothiazolinone are also skin irritants and Octylisothiazolinone can cause allergic contact dermatitis. If you are sensitive to methylisothiazolinone or methylchloroisothiazolinone then you are likely going to be more sensitive to benzisothiazolinone
Ethoxylated Ingredients are non-ionic surfactants that can generate the toxic chemical 1,4-dioxane and PEG’s as part of the manufacturing process. According to the Toxic Free Foundation database, they can be identified by the prefix “PEG”, “polyethylene”, “polyethylene glycol”, “polyoxyethylene”, “-eth-“, or “-oxynol-”
Triclosan is an endocrine disruptor, skin irritant, and can promote allergies. It also can impair reproductive health in both men and women.
Fragrances can be a chemical soup. They can contain phthalates and parabens which are known endocrine disrupters.
Sodium Laureth Sulfate is a surfactant that can become contaminated with toxic impurities like 1,4-dioxane which is a known carcinogen. Sodium laureth sulfate can also cause skin and eye irritation.
Colorants or dyes such as FD&C Blue or Yellow-5 are derived from petroleum and contain irritating compounds such as benzidine, a known carcinogen.

Shower water filled with fluoride and heavy metals, bacteria, etc
Americans loooove to shower..unlike a lot of cultures
Oh yes, and I do love the stay in very nice shower longer than necessary. At least my shower is basic so it’s in and out. Bath or shower either way you are in the contaminated water. I enjoy a good Epsom salt bath.
Military Shower here. Two minutes! My Navy Dad would shout! Two Minutes! That’s all the time you need to get clean!😂😂😂
Sounds like my house growing up. My dad was and is still bad about this. I don’t think it’s military. I think it’s from growing up poor and scared he’s going to lose money. Our first trip as a married couple was with my parents to a Nascar race we shared a room with my parents and brother. My dad said he was going first. He wasn’t in the bathroom four minutes. My husband looked at me with big eyes like WTF. I silently died laughing. Growing up he would yell outside the door if you were in the shower to long. God forbid I wash my hair every day. He’s the same way with heat and AC. I literally froze in the winter and sweated like a pig in the summer. My brother lives with him now. Every time I go over my brother tells me what he’s doing. Currently can’t put heat past 67. My brother told him the house was getting colder then looked it was on 67. I think they had a round about that. Daddy yelled blankets on yourself🤣 My brother is whispering to me he thinks he’s got dementia. Maybe but daddy’s always been tight!
I love your Dad…(I’m just like him)!
Well I wouldn’t want to live with you either. He never had a clue when I was a teenager, my mom closed her beauty shop at home and was working in town, I woke my brother up every morning. We lowered every window and at 4:30 opened them up. AC ran all day till 4:30 and he thought he was saving money on AC. He also doesn’t understand it takes more electricity to warm or cool a house than keep it at the same temperature. I’ve been over in the summer and it’s on 80 degrees and my elderly mom is sweating. She had forgotten how to work thermostat. Now that pissed me off. He drives with AC blasting and she’s sweating in 100 degree heat. He provided for me and I know he loves me even if he’s harsh talking and honestly that doesn’t bother me, I’ve forgiven and moved from childhood trauma. But sometimes being that frugal is more about control than saving money. I never knew about narcissistic until I was in therapy about twenty years ago. Turns out both parents fit that description. Absolutely not complaining even with that I had a wonderful childhood.
That’s a mental image I could have lived without 🤮
LOL…I can’t stop laughing
What? Lol never heard that in my life.
They put plenty of chlorine in the water to kill bacteria btw.
Did not know water filters removed chlorine. I thought it could only be removed via the chlorine evaporating back into a gas.
Well dang I didn’t know that. You just saved my husband work and money. I’ve been bitching about a whole house water filter for years.
Exactly, this is the best little community and I love we can help each other out like this. It’s the way the world used to be before most became self absorbed.
Getting a new haircut can be like a box of chocolates, you never know what you can get. I hate that’s such an amazing saying and it’s from pedo Hanks. If you are a woman you can probably relate. Show your haircut pic to the hair stylist and you just never know how it’s going to turn out. My mom was a beautician (ancient term) so I know hair lingo I just don’t cut or anything else. I had stopped going to this lady over 15 years ago because she was having medical problems and my hair was messed up a couple times. I’m not bread and butter for a stylist, go maybe 2-3 times a year. I found other people and after changing phones lost her number. Last year I found her on social media and made an appointment. Most stylist specialize in one thing: cut, color or perms. She’s about my age and old school. She can do it all!!! That’s very rare today. I don’t think they are teaching stylist like they did thirty years ago. Most younger ones don’t know how to thin hair without taking length. Also there’s more than one technique. TIP if you show a picture of the cut you want you need to ask questions.* I didn’t know this and I was raised in a Beauty Shop. The hair style you have chosen for yourself the model most likely doesn’t have your hair type. You get the cut and hate it because it’s not like the picture. Thankfully a great hair stylist explained this to me. If the model has naturally curly thick hair and yours is thin and straight you will not get the same look. I personally believe these hair magazines, stylists and bloggers choose a model with naturally curly thick hair because it has more body. Bottom line ask questions! Your hard earned money goes to fast anyway. You get a cut, spent 40-75 and you aren’t happy. I got a haircut 12/22 it was $26.00. Today same haircut was $40.00, no wash cut and minimal styling. I’m not complaining about price. There expenses go up and have to charge more. I’m sure in a big major city a woman cut it minimum $75.00. My cut is great but a little shorter than desired but it grows fast.
Every time my wife says its time for a haircut I start worrying. I dont know what it is, but it seems finding a hairstylist who can follow basic instructions and do exactly what is asked and not some crazy experimentation is really hard to find. If your profession is cutting hair, it should be easy to do and yet apparently its so very hard.
I totally understand this. I call myself the hair stylist whore. I’ll give anyone multiple second chances. Screw up my hair and we are over! I tell them I have my hazel eyes, boobs & great hair the rest is average or way below, DO NOT SCREW UP MY HAIR! This happened in 2020, I was going to a really nice Muslim lady. I really enjoyed talking to her while getting hair done. She’s born and raised here and doesn’t conform to all the strict rules. We could talk openly and respectfully about differences in religion. The last time I got my haircut it was very bad. I had shown her picture of messy bob.
Showed her this: https://www.thesmallthingsblog.com/2023/10/my-shoulder-grazing-bob-haircut/
Got this: 3rd one down Mary J Blidge https://www.thehairstyler.com/blogs/hairstyles/pageboy-bob.amp
After calling spoke with manager to get someone else to fix it. Ended up with this: https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/bob-haircut-short-hair-hatred
A woman who’s been doing hair at least fifteen years didn’t know how to soften the edges with a fringe cut. I know how to do from watching for thirty years but wouldn’t dare do it on myself. She kept cutting and cutting to no avail. The manager was beside us and I told the manager exactly that, messy fringe cut. She had to show her how to cut it. Clearly the lady trying to do my hair does old lady wash and curl weekly apts and should not be trying to do trendy styles. On top of that I had to pay for another haircut. This was about a week before 2020 lockdown. I started plandimic looking like a school boy bowl haircut and didn’t get it cut for two years. So, I’m very picky and if necessary will pay more. Doesn’t help that I’m spoiled and never paid for haircuts etc until I was in my mid thirties. My mom had reached the point she couldn’t do it anymore.
Just like schools passing kids through I believe other schools are doing the same.
No worries! Nothing gay about wanting your hair done right. My husband used clippers for at least ten years. Many men use the clippers on themselves and their boys. Makes it easier and the cut lasts longer. Not sure about rest of the country but it’s common in the south. When he started it was to do a buzz cut. He started getting thin on top and shaved his head. That was probably almost 15-20 years ago. I like it but it’s not for everyone.
Is there a decent forum that operates like Reddit but doesn’t have the Reddit type people? I probably already know the answer because since 2020 we have seen a boom in stupidity. Honestly I don’t desire to interact any where but here. I’m seeking a place with real people’s opinions on things they buy. It’s impossible to find a real review on anything with the increase of fake reviews. My one horse town doesn’t have much selection to look at before you buy. At the moment I’m looking for automatic dish soap dispenser, trash cans, storage containers and other things for the house. Small appliances, coffee machines, clothes, non toxic cleaning products, clean body products etc. two biggest retailers Amazon and Walmart can’t be trusted with reviews. I’m tired of buying stuff and have to ship back. Anyway if you know of any places to get ordinary working class people’s reviews I’d appreciate it. Even blogs with reviews are just big paid ads.
Yeah, almost all reviews are fake. We have had 5 star companies come and do crappy job. As for appliances, nothing is constructed solid these days. Everything is made of plastic material and everything is designed to break.
There is a real reason for all this. It all comes down to the fraudulent fiat financial system we are in. It intentionally keeps printing currency and devaluating the value of dollar, and hence all our net worth as well as the value earned by services and goods.
Without realising, this drives people to cut corners just to survive, to the point where we live in a world filled with cheap stuff and dont even realise we are actually slaves.
Cant wait for all this crap to end.
Absolutely! We just got a new microwave and it’s more plastic than anything else. My husband said the mounting brackets are cheap plastic. It’s bigger than the twenty year old we took out. The rotating plate is 1/3 the size of old one. Old one wasn’t broken except the bottom piece holding glass door together was broken hanging by a thread. Had to get new oven old one had been fixed by hubby a couple times and door was trying to fall off. I was scared glass was going to crash down in new stove and out two appliances. Just got granite yesterday so we have an old kitchen (1946) that looks new.

Up until 10 years ago, I just bought second hand, second hand rose, that's me, or look in the local papers that buy sell and trade, (we have a lot of those, on line, its called Front Porch Forum, Craigs list, and then we have a wonderful 60 year old print paper called the Green Mountain Trading Post. As the 2nd hand appliances bit the dust, I got a new toaster, new dishware, and bowls, baking dishes, a cast iron pizza pan, through Bezos Inc. There is a store right here in town that sells a lot of those old timey baking and pplatters, crocks etc, but its geared to tourists and the stuff is so marked up, screw em, I'm not a tourist. I have found gems in second hand stores in good shape, real retro looking appliances, but those are treasure hunting stuff. Juicers Blenders etc can be found in some local hardware places, but they are all franchised with places like Tru Value Hardware. They sell appliances at large supermarkets, and tho its a big box store, it does employ locals. I have this waffle iron I picked up for 5 bucks, it works wonderfully, heavy duty cast iron, the old electric cord is sound, but I keep my eye on it. It's from the 50's, a Sunbeam.
Finding second hand isn’t a problem. There’s a few decent thrift stores here and we go to the coast at least once a month. The thrift stores at Morehead City NC area are plentiful and really good. Any place with people over the average income and upscale income is good because they buy new stuff for the house more frequently than the average worker. My husband and I have a facebook account just for market place. Nobody here uses anything else to sell used goods. I have a fake name account with out friends and send him what I want🤣 Thirty five years ago we bought Bargain Trader every week (eastern NC book with anything from furniture, cars and beyond for sale). Then when online sales put them out of business it was Craig’s list. People don’t use it here anymore. I’m trying to research what brands are good quality. What last and what is just junk. I’m not buying something like automatic soap dispenser used. Not because I’m to good for used. Something small like that is usually thrown out or thrift because it’s not working or it’s junk. I am desperately seeking non toxic products for my house and that’s not going to be in second hand stores. Sorry for the confusion on my post. My brain doesn’t always type it as I’m hearing it in my head.
In case anyone missed it, there was a third solar flare yesterday afternoon that was magnitudes larger than the first two.
And yet it caused no widespread disruptions like we saw yesterday morning.
I never heard of solar flares till a few years ago. I know they aren’t new but don’t remember the attention they get now. This is coming from someone who watched the local and nationally news daily for thirty years.
Keep in mind that not every solar flare is aimed directly at Earth. Anyhow I don't believe the first two caused any disruption since only AT&T seemed to be affected, myself and others on other networks had zero issues.
Yes, all three of yesterday's were aimed at Earth.
The point I was making is that the ATT outage likely had nothing to do with solar flares.
it takes em awhile to get here.
Flares have an immediate effect. CMEs take hours.
Was it claimed that it was? Every story I've seen was pointing the finger at Chinese cyberattacks.
A little odd thing happened to me yesterday afternoon - I typed in epochtimes. com (the correct website spelling) and it loaded the Chinese language version. It's never done that before - I had to select US-English version. I immediately closed that one, opened a new tab and retyped same address and the English one came up properly.
I saw a few different news clips on instagram and the reporter said solar flares. Even a meteorologist said it.
Yesterday the links to banks and major cell phone carriers were down. I can’t post a link, sorry.
Had no trouble getting into my bank and brokerage accounts. Phone and Internet worked the entire day.
Glad it missed ya. We were getting calls about about it at work.
I had an amusing thought about Trump and his mega $300million fine he has to pay: Perhaps just for optics, he borrows the money as a partial mortgage against Mar-a-Lago?
He doesn't need to, but the whole situation is about him inflating property values to get loans, so, he should "do it again" to pay the fine... hehe that would be top-trolling.
kek that's funny
Would love it, but by the same logic they can conduct him again!

I’m watching this video on the subject of Carnivore diet. It’s long and different topics covered. This is Dr Anthony Caffee with practicing Carnivore influencer/coach. At 56 mark they start discussing cholesterol, testing, most doctors aren’t up on the latest research (cholesterol is good for you), testing & testing for Thyroid, says different labs are used for medical blood tests and they give different results for the same tests on a person. It’s refreshing hearing a doctor talk about the lies in the medical system.
Dr Chaffee Cholesterol, thyroid, medical tests
Yeah if you starve the body of cholesterol, it creates its own cholesterol, because its is necessary for critical things like brain etc. The statins "reduce" cholesterol by inhibiting body generating its own Cholesterol.
There was a university professor who shamed a student publicly for asking the question in class as to what the side effects of Statin are. This got other students so weirded out that they started digging in, and uncovered that the Professor sat on the board of multiple pharmaceutical companies, and later it also turned out that he owned a lot of shares as well.
Statins are the most evil medicine and Cholesterol is the biggest medical scam (ofc before Covid).
The only thing you need to worry about is the ratio of Tri-glycerides and the HDL/LDL.
Most of the cholesterol you eat is not even absorbed by the body, it maintains the blood levels itself and makes more in the liver if you go on a low-cholesterol diet. High cholesterol is a symptom of possible issues but attacking the cholesterol directly is like shooting the firefighters as they show up instead of putting out the building fire.
I agree and was against cholesterol medication years ago. They tried to prescribe and I kept refusing. I posted the video because he talks about lab results are different from different labs so you may get the wrong results. Most people don’t get labs until they are sick. With inaccuracies you may get the wrong treatments.
Yeah, but it goes beyond lab results. The numbers themselves do not mean what the medical community says it means. The entire Cholesterol scam started form a Long term Massachusetts study which followed a bunch of suburban families in one area for a decade or so, and crunched some numbers and declared that high cholesterol leads to higher chances of heart diseases.
This one scam spawned into numerous mini scams, including the demonisation of fats, pushing seed oils, and hiding the fact that sugars are the real killers, etc. that has ultimately lead to a very unhealthy population.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy is a newer similar scam in that the Free Testosterone number means little when you don't take into account that different people have varying levels of androgen receptor density that affects how they respond to testosterone. There are men who are clinically "low-T" who have no symptoms because they have high sensitivity from their genetics and still grow muscle easily, hence why they tend to blow up like crazy if they go on PEDs. On the other side there are weak responders who have such poor receptor density that you can pump them full of test or PEDs and they still stay relatively weak.
Also don't forget that going on either essentially makes you an addict as your body will shut down it's own testosterone production and potentially make you dependent on the TRT for the rest of your life to maintain normal levels. If you go off of it you muscle quickly starts to waste away like all those former Mr Olympia who don't look anything like in their prime while lifetime nattys can hold onto their gains all the way into old age. That's why we have the saying that "roid gains are rented gains."
same with me with a lot of the condiments, when I start fantasizing about a loaded cheeseburger and break down the flavors in my head, it's all about mixing the condiments, which are liquid sugar, with the combo of other tastes. It is not the meat. When I want the flavor of meat, it is always rib eye, every time.
I love how Q called the global satanic cabal "a cornered animal". Almost like they are calling out the Beast System. Add to that the Biblical and Christ references, I know why they can't outright say it yet though
This comment is peak. It will be biblical
Its more than just beast system. It's literally true. Part of this Operation is to force the Cabal puppets to bring humanity to the precipice. How do you do it? By cornering it, and carefully manipulating it to guide it to the end. If it realises it has been cornered it will lash out like crazy. Thats why every step of the way the WHs make the Cabal puppets feel like they are in control. But as they realise they are losing more and more of their controls, they get more and more panicy, and when done perfectly, they will play their final cards - the cards that will bring us to the brink.
Just a thought. But the Massage Court just wrapped up yesterday. And we had the cellular carriers shitshow today . .

Anyone have good Q related posts about QFS?
No, only thing he alludes to is:
u/#q2619
Makes me think that the whole "QFS" is a paytriot fiction. We will move to a non-debt backed currency, and its quite possible it will be a transparent digital currency of some form, but I dont believe there is such a thing as "quantum" financial system.
Does anyone use a really good moisturizing handmade body soap bar? Especially with goat milk and mango or shea butter. Essential oils no fragrance oils. Coconut dries my skin. If you do please share the link or brand.
I got on Etsy today to place a homemade soap order and their soap wasn’t listed, only download recipes. I sent a message asking were they not selling soap. No was the answer for several different reasons. She sent me a website post explaining why they were closing shop, it’s attached. The selfishness in me is upset because it took me over five years of buying soap, soap and more soap till I found the exact formula for my skin. So, back to searching. I really want to make my own soap. I don’t have room for supplies and I would need help. However I love supporting a small business. It used to be the backbone of America and we need it to be that way again.
Summary if you don’t want to dive into the website: I’m very happy for this couple to decide to close their shop. Obstacles with needing larger space, landlords, bigger equipment and hiring help helped them decide they started the business for fun and they don’t want it to be a burden. They are in their fifties and want to be able to spend time with children and family. They mentioned the business might be transformed into teaching to make soap classes online and books. I think this is fabulous they are willing to share experiences and knowledge.

I’m happy for them. It’s a tough decision to scale back, l have done it myself and never regretted the decision. Once you get to the size you need employees quite often your profit goes down abcs so does your quality of life.
Personally, l works have sold the business and still did everything. Still, great stuff.
I used to think I wanted to make stuff at home to sell. Thankfully I’m a bad procrastinator and didn’t get it going. I’m not the type to put up with demanding customers. I agree they did the right thing. Anytime we put family first is the right decision. Glad it worked out for you.
I learned how to make my own soap and it takes less supplies than you might think. Especially for a barebones operation. I get my supplies from Brambleberry but others use other suppliers. If you aren’t using lard or tallow, the soap lasts forever.
I built a soap rack to keep the cat from getting to it, but otherwise I store the supplies under the sink in a bathroom.
Wild Oak Farms (Missouri) has great body butter and @knsfarms makes goat milk products. Not sure if they use coconut oil. But lily hill farms makes the best tallow lotion! These are all Instagram accounts.

Have a blessed day.
(God is still working today. Can you see?)
Am l really the first? I noticed today Chocolate Milk is $6.29 a gallon and a steak sub is $16 at Sheetz. That’s just crazy!
Where? Even in Hellinois it's still usually around $3/gal.
I haven’t paid attention to food prices because I’m only eating meat & eggs, occasionally dairy. I’m getting my eggs locally $4.00 a dozen. Most of the meat has been in the freezer months and we buy clearance meat. I buy no hormone organic milk so I’ve paid at least $5.00 for several years. Before the diet change I noticed some food prices were going down. But any take out food has been ridiculous a long time. Last summer my husband, daughter and baby went to Hardee’s. Three biscuits and two drinks was about twenty dollars. I don’t understand how families can continue to pay for fast food. Especially people making minimum wage. My daughter was telling us about co worker going to Taco Bell I don’t remember what she got but it was the $5.00 box my daughter and husband got for probably over ten years straight. It was twenty dollars. Dang you can buy burger, seasoning pac & wraps for less than that and get more food. For the two of us we barely pay $20.00 at Mexican restaurant because we always split plates.
Check out Tucker’s video buying groceries in Russia. It wasn’t expensive like it is here.
I saw Tucker’s video. Infuriating. Every day l see more posts about people moving into their cars.
Crazy it is. I haven’t bought a gallon of chocolate milk in years. Just me so it would go to waste. But I do love the stuff. I only buy it a pint at a time from a local dairy and it’s delicious. Have no idea about Sheetz. First time I’ve heard of it, it’s not in my neck of the woods, but that much for any kind of sub is just wrong.
If I want chocolate milk I make it one cup as I want it. It’s full of crap in the store.
I buy it from a local dairy. It’s very thick and creamy. I only buy the small size as a treat and only take a couple sips every day or two. It’s very rich, but delicious.
This is a fantastic recipe. We make chocolate milk and hot chocolate with it. If mixing with milk we mix a little of the powder in hot water to dissolve before adding. We have done it in half gallons before but usually make it by the glass.
https://venisonfordinner.com/hot-chocolate-mix-and-how-to-serve-it-to-a-crowd/
Thanks I would have to find a different sweetener. It should be easy to calculate. I’m using Monk fruit. I’m only eating carnivore and sugar will set you back. When my daughter was in six grade about twenty years ago one Christmas I made homemade hot chocolate, chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon sugar in jars with instructions. Made chocolate stir spoons for coffee. Those teachers were so excited. It was time consuming but I enjoyed it. I also gave to family.
Yes, and too thick.
I buy whole milk so thick isn’t an issue. But chocolate milk has a thick paste like texture. It wasn’t like that twenty years ago. I used to buy it a lot decades ago. Trader Joe’s has very good chocolate milk. I don’t drink it enough to buy a big carton. If I want chocolate milk I heat in microwave and add cacao (not cocoa). Basically hot chocolate with less chocolate.
No fren, its just an illusion.
