This should be fun, NOT! Just when the violent illegals are coming to the large cities. No better time to get armed.
Pittsburgh police will no longer respond to thefts, harassment, criminal mischief, burglary alarms, etc. Additionally, there will be only 20 police officers patrolling the ENTIRE CITY from 3AM-7AM
Pittsburgh Police
So in other words if you gonna commit a crime the best hours are between 3-7 am. Probably gonna be a lot of killings during that time frame from people protecting themselves.
That’s exactly what many comments on instagram said.
And now for something completely different: Skijoring: The Wildest Winter Sport You've Never Heard Of
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kht7_NgJXnw
If I could ski that looks like fun. I’ve never been snow skiing and when I wanted to go hubby said, H NO! I can fall standing still and he knows it. I learned to water ski my senior year of high school and was decent until the boat turned. I would fall every time I went over the wake of the boat. Never been athletic, but I’m crafty😀
Just an open personal message, a prayer for anon u/BerlinWallCrosser who (the last I’d read) is going in for cardiac surgery tomorrow.
Heavenly Father, we come to You today on behalf of anon BerlinWallCrosser who is going in for a medical procedure tomorrow. Father, we ask You to shield and protect this valued anon from all negative forces, to guide the surgeons’ hands and those of all medical professionals involved in his care to provide the utmost, most excellent care to our anon. Lord, we ask that You heal our anon completely and strengthen him so that he comes out of this procedure stronger and healthier than before.
Lord, calm any anxiety he, his wife and any others of his beloved are feeling at this time and give him and his loved ones strength and patience to work together for a very successful recovery. Lord, let them feel Your love and assurance, Your power and healing as they go forth through this health challenge. And finally, Lord, please bestow upon BerlinWallCrosser the understanding and patience to pace himself during his recovery so that he doesn’t try to do too much too soon.
Lord, as always we thank You for the blessings of these amazing bodies that heal, for the many wonderful, caring people we meet over time, some like our anon only virtually and for Your eternal love which You grace us with every day. In Jesus’ loving name. 🙏✝️
BWC — we’ll be praying for you for a successful surgery and quick recovery. Do take it easy afterwards and we’ll be looking forward to your many interesting, informative and humorous contributions when you’re back to 100%. God bless.
What a beautiful prayer 🙏🏻. And yes I will be lifting him up to our Heavenly Father as well. Don’t k ow the time difference where he is but I’m sure I will be waking up during the night and I assure each time I am that I will pray for our dear brother. ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you, fren. The surgery is still on for tomorrow and I check in in the morning and I will probably be under the knife around noon. My cardiologist expects a week stay with rehab beginning sometime after. I hope to be back to my normal workout routine by the beginning of summer. I probably won’t see a computer screen for 4 or 5 days so I will probably fall behind the latest news on GAW. I will let this board know when I am back behind a keyboard. In the meantime, keep up the fight good frens. I have no qualms about tomorrow because, between this board, my church, my friends, family, and former colleagues, I have an army of people praying on my behalf.
haha, funny how life works (or how God directs traffic) cause... I just pulled your page up cause i was gonna message you and remind you that you never answered me about Adam Calhoun (just cause if you havent heard it, I love getting peoples reaction opinion to it. it "shocks" those who dont understand it
anyway though so yeah trying to get back to you about that song which didnt really matter at all just thought youd get a kek out of it - led me to seeing this comment.
<3 Will put my sword into that army for you and pray, fren.
Stay strong Fren ❤️🙏🏻
Prayers on the way fren.
Prayers fren!
Sending prayers your way. Give yourself time to heal the GAW crew will be here waiting for your speedy recovery and return. Blessings to you.
Amen
Just because we are living in a world where drag queens and people transitioning every woman is NOT a man. I just saw a thread here about Karen Gibson, people asking who she was. I didn’t know myself. Maybe jokes or not people thought she was Biden’s nurse. Well after someone proved a wiki link she’s not a nurse. She’s the Sergeant at Arms US Senate with a 33 year service in the military. Now I don’t know if she’s good, bad, white hat or black hat. Such rude comments saying she looks like a man. I personally don’t see it. Some natural born women have more masculine features. I know with plastic surgery and trans surgery we are living in an unknown time but seriously we here are supposed to better than this. I didn’t comment on the link because I’ve learned on the main thread we have some patriots that are just sob’s. I don’t argue with people that believe they can’t be wrong. Narcissistic people aren’t worth my time. Rant Over

Unfortunately it’s an incredibly popular thought around here and it’s only showing signs of being more and more common. These days, any time someone is insulting a person they disagree with, you’re going to see the trans card played early and often.
Exactly, it used to be faggott, gay etc now it’s trans. I get it if they look like a man. This woman doesn’t look like a man in my opinion. Honestly to me she looks like a grandma (good or bad), older gray haired lady.
You can argue all you want about how someone looks, but it won't go far.
It's just kind of a staple among communities like this, unfortunately. People are very quick to insult instead of have reasonable discussions

We went for a hike yesterday, looking for morels with no such luck, but did find some nice turkey tails and oyster mushrooms. We're dehydrating them.
Love this! I may be eating carnivorous but I do believe in the power of medicinal plants. Mushrooms have so much potential for our health.
Also, I got 3 qts of heavy cream for $1.50 from work that my husband canned. We're slowly building up our stash.
theory: Are the "Vaccines" being reverse engineered? Thereby revealing how cancer has been "waged" on the world?
(ScottyMar19, Tool Scism)
I have suspicions about this cancer vaccine. Are they just remarketing the Covid vaccine to continue the killing?
Don't Let Us Be Deceived, Lord. My Morning Bible Read Was Acts 13:4-12, "On Cyprus". In Verse 7 It Says, "The proconsul, an intelligent man, sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God."

Something about this feels cabal...am I going crazy?
I'm familiar with these guys.
It's just a comedy gimmick, like the Harlem Globetrotters. Don't take it seriously.
I dunno. Are you afraid of the Harlem Globetrotters?
It does seem very weird. I get trying to use the stadium. It’s probably about making money.
It seems to me like it’s a baseball team trying to be a drag show. They’re dressing up, wearing kilts, and doing dances to Cabal singers. It’s supposed to be some type of bread and Circus. To a normie, it could be fun, but there’s so much under lying here it makes you want to vomit. If you think of a banana as a penis, basically it’s penis ball. Replace the word banana with penis throughout the entire description of this game, and then it makes perfect sense.
On a sidenote, I watched a short little video about a month ago about the banana industry, and how they’re responsible for drug trafficking, and arms trafficking. All this equates to human trafficking as well. I wish I could remember the name of the documentary. Or the short video. Let’s just put it this way… Bananas were involved in this as well. Lol. 🍌🍌🍌
The third picture down in the link, shows a husband and a wife. She is holding a baby up in a banana suit. It looks like it has a penis sticking out. 🤮
Holding the baby up is a big put off for me. Looks to much like the lion king. Before I knew about bad Disney I’ve seen every Disney cartoon movie since the 90s and I still think The Lion King is a great movie and the live show is amazing. Yes, former Disney person since the 70s. I’ve been so many times I lost count. Never saw anything bad or satanic but I was a child and even as an adult wasn’t looking for it either, I haven’t watched lately but I never thought anything of holding Simba up like that. Now I think maybe it’s has a hidden sacrifice baby meaning. So, holding up a baby like that I can’t agree with,
I agree. And that picture is quite disturbing if you ask me. Why is that picture? Of all the pictures that they could put on their website, why a picture of a baby dress like a banana that looks like a penis is popping out. These people are sick that’s why. They just wanna shove it all in our faces. That’s fine, I’m not going to banana ball. Or penis ball or any type of a ball anymore.
I do agree with your take on the sacrificing the baby part, though… I never thought about that in the lion King.
I never thought about sacrificing the baby in lion king either until I saw that baby in the video. I probably thought of it after learning about current day sacrifices on this sight and watching videos on YouTube about pagan cultures sacrificing the children. Clearly I’ve been down the rabbit hole a little too much. I always knew about ancient civilizations sacrificing but didn’t have a clue it still happens.
They’re literally eating human beings in Haiti right now. In 2024 🤷♀️
I saw that video before it was removed. It didn’t bother me as much as the pictures of babies and toddlers with black eyes. Just the thought of that makes me sick on the stomach. Anyone that does that can’t be human or have a soul. Sure they are human but they have stopped being as they were born, a human being child of God. Knowing about Cannibalism in ancient times is totally different than knowing about it today’s world. Holy cow, I just googled Cannibalism to make sure I was spelling it correctly and it populated, in Haiti. There’s multiple videos on google. I really can’t believe they didn’t take them down. Videos and news articles by major news organizations. Wow, things are changing and the red pills are happening. Amazing and wonderful!
It's been around awhile and is entertaining. We watch live broadcasts on YT.
Question of the not everyday
If you had an ex that you ended with horribly, how would you feel if you knew she/he was on here and you interacted regulary without knowing?
If I have an ex here I haven’t had any interaction in over 37 years so that wouldn’t be an issue. About ten years ago an ex (if you can call it that in two week relationship) started messaging me on facebook. I thought nothing of it because to this day I have always had more guy friends than girls. I’m not into the drama and I was always closer to guys but nothing more than friendship. I had about five good female friends in school and didn’t get close to many because of the backstabbing.
As far as ex’s no but I do suspect my cousin could be on here. If you notice when talking about my granddad I mix it up with other grandpa terms. We had a unique name for him and if I used it she would probably know it’s me. I don’t have an issue with her. After my grandmother died she broke off ties with my side of the family and after ten years we still don’t know why. It took a long time to get over her because we were more like sisters being the only girls in the family. If I saw her today I would not be rude but only cautious if she wanted a relationship. I will always love her and thankful for the memories.
Well, that would be hard for me because my husband died? So I don’t think that’s gonna happen.
I’m sorry to hear that. 🥲
I’m sorry. I know I would go on if my husband died but it would so damned hard. I’d be strong for my daughter of course. They are very close. I’m sure pet sitting brings you a lot of comfort and love. God is looking after you💖
Yep God is definitely looking out for me. I have a whole new life now, and I have accepted that. I know Aaron is in heaven with Jesus. 👏👏👏
That’s a beautiful thing to know. I always wonder about a few of my family and friends that have died.
I am so sorry, did not expect an answer like this fren
It's been 10 years now Ax. Can't we just move on?????
How dare you out me as a gay frog???
bwahahaha

The Great Awakening. Hold on Loosely but don't let go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kivx9cLGe5E
That’s my high school jam and still listen occasionally. Did you know the original band had Donnie Van Zant, Ronnie Van Zant’s brother (lead singer) Lynyrd Skynyrd? Also one of them was with the Allan brothers and another was with Marshall Tucker Band.
I just learned about that yesterday for the first time. What is also interesting is they all formed because all the Naval Bases around Jacksonville, Florida were in need of live Entertainment. It was that source of revenue that gave birth to so many well practiced and experienced Bands.
I didn’t know that. The for sharing. I’m southern so Southern Rock, especially Lynyrd Skynyrd is next the national anthem for me and most from the south.
I was front row for Lynyrd Skynyrd when they played up in Ottawa, Canada about 4 years ago. So happy I saw Gary Rossington. When they played Free Bird I swear I felt a Spiritual connection to Ronnie Van Zant up in Heaven. If I could go back in time and relive my life. Id pick that area to grow up in. Thanks for sharing. Stay strong and hope to see you at FrenFest in the next few years.
We haven’t seen them in concert. My husband is such a big fan he thinks he would be disappointed seeing them with out the original members. Kinda like I feel about Queen and Adam Lambert (I think that’s his last name). Nobody could replace Freddie Mercury. Used to go to a lot of country concerts but Covid stopped that. Our lives changed new priorities and haven’t been lately.
I bet that fun! When we were going to concerts most shows we were front row in the pit. Tiring but so worth it.
When I was in high school friends were going to see 38 special. I was honest and asked my mom could I go. Nope! And started my teenage lying years. Saw Hank Williams Jr in 84 and she still doesn’t know. Yeah, FrenFest sounds great once we things straightened out in the world. Until then we have this crazy place.
Thank Goodness we have this crazy place, is right! It is hard to even believe what Evil is being cast down upon us ATM. Canada has gone insane and I live in the Capital City. Although, I now have a GF in another City so I can get out of this place from time to time. I saw Queen play in 1981. Freddie Mercury was my idol until the Police and Sting came along. I'm sorry your Mom ruined your chance to see 38 Special in their Prime. My favorite concert was seeing the Rolling Stones in Buffalo in 1981. George Thorogood and Journey opened for them. Thanks for sharing parts of your life with me.
Dang I’m jealous of you seeing Freddie. My husband loves Thorogood and can sing by heart One Bourbon. I told him we should go see him. That sounds like an amazing concert. It’s ok about 38 special. I got her back in college. I was briefly at college in Richmond, VA and went to see Loverboy. Also saw Heart around 1987 they were really good. That was my most listened to cassette back then. A country kid out of small town USA on the floor close enough to see really good was pretty amazing. My first concert was Alabama in 81. My dad took me & there friends. Fast forward from my teens and I didn’t go to another until the 2000s. I’m not counting the free Beach Boys concert in the 90s. I had a lot of their albums as a kid but wasn’t impressed. We left early. That’s a reason why we haven’t been to see older artists. I saw Willie Nelson twice and he still had it. Some need to go to the house! I regret not going to see Deff Leopard and Phil Collins. We were very poor when we got married and the only thing we did for entertainment was go to Nascar races in driving distance during the early 90s. Back then the car dealerships gave away the Busch series tickets. We paid for tickets a few times a year to the cup series. Had a baby and she became priority. We couldn’t care less about missing races or concerts. I can’t imagine living in a big city but I’ve only known rural living. I’ve been to NYC twice and Philly once. I loved NYC and always wanted to visit one more time. Most definitely not a place I could live. It’s what you get used to. Crime is very bad in my area. I think it’s a combination of drug use, gangs & the criminals know they aren’t staying in jail. I don’t have figures but I believe it’s increased at least 50% in the last year. I went to Canada when I was 9, Niagara Falls, Toronto & Montreal. I don’t remember a lot, the falls & going to an underground amusement park maybe in Toronto. Great talking about the good ole days. Be safe fren.

Trump card NFT seems to be managed by Magic Eden, which uses Solana compatible wallets, which seems to be compatible with Ledger Nano X which is a decent hardware wallet.
