We are doing good. Debt free. Silver stacked. Food prepped. About to plant starter seeds in hydroponics gardens so they will be ready to go in the ground end of May (mn res).
We are mid-fifties. One son who graduated last year - still has not figured out what he wants to do.
I drive a 2004 truck. Rusting out, but gets me to the homeschool co-op and back just fine. I continue to teach classes there - I have all the stuff, so why not? Corporate is a rat race. Not going back - MBA and IT.
Dropped any ego/status concerns when son was born and I became a stay at home mom and later home schooler. Any thing I need (clothes, shoes, coats, etc) I get at the thrift store if possible.
Hubby is the breadwinner. Mech eng.
Both sets of parents are now deceased. Scavenged things that had prep value - sibs on both sides did not want ( canning equipment, old welder, garden equipment, galvanized tubs, etc.) No idea what is around the corner.
It was really a mind shift that we made when son was born - so about not quite 20 years ago.
All of this only possible by the grace of God and by His provision.
Is inflation happening, yes. Are we able to weather it, also yes.
Yes. This is the point where I am at now.
My son is 18, so no longer in need of sports physicals. I eschew mammograms, colonoscopies, cervical exams, the works. I feel good - I do not need a piece of paper from a doctor to tell me this.
Exactly! I do not think that the doctors are used to push back from the patients. The doctors are used to being viewed as the smartest people in the room and are thrown when their patients will not lie down like sheep and just accept their word or judgement. One has to practically get very aggressive with the doctor to be heard.
I am sorry to hear that you are in this situation.
OK. Most normies do not know that there were Minsk agreements, can not find Ukraine on a map, took the vaxx because Fauci said so, and think that the currency is not coming to an end.
However, this crap is TOTALLY fine. They are so dumbed down.
This is Idiocracy come to life!!!
Very timely. There's one podcaster in particular that I follow/followed for years that I think might be controlled opposition and/or just a shit disturber.
The goal posts keep moving (ramping up) to show Trump in a negative light. This guy became disenchanted with Q, and now rags on Trump/Trump team, anons, book of Q every chance he gets. At one point encouraged voting for Kamala. Very critical and negative voice towards Trump. Did not start out this way.
I am not looking for a cheerleader.
Trump is not God. He needs to answer for the vaxx. I do not understand all of what he is dealing with the DS. There might be a good explanation here. The dust has NOT settled by a long shot. I can wait - ultimately if you took the vaxx they can not take it out.
Pam Bondi. Optics are not good. BUT, without it, would we know about SDNY level of corruption? Some yes, but this deep? IDK.
The guy states that 5D chess is no way to lead. Seems pissed all the time that Trump isn't doing what HE wants. OK fine. But he turned his show into being all about getting his listeners into being pissed all the time too.
This is not just being critical - it's being a little shit disturber.
🙂 LOL
I am a transplant to MN from WI and IL.
The "mildly retarded Minnesotan" is a phrase that is used to describe most Minnesotans.
It is similar to how Minnesotans say that they are Minnesota Nice, but those that have come from other states (transplants) know that they are really Minnesota Ice.
Had this happen in my US History homeschool.
We were covering JFK assassination. I showed the 2022 fox news video clip of Tucker stating that the cia was involved, a video clip of RFKJ implying that the CIA was involved, the magic bullet theory, zapruder film, and a pix of Warren Commission- explained allen dulles was fired head of CIA now on Commission, Gerald Ford on Commission (never elected as president or vp) became president, and arlen spector on Commission- magic bullet theory guy.
Also, showed pix of LBJ being sworn in as pres and the congressman winking at him!
Most students were intrigued. But one sheltered girl started tearing up...because book said Oswald.
Explained that if you say Oswald, you must support magic bullet theory (due to missed shots you are down to one bullet) and what you saw on the zapruder film. Other wise, there was a conspiracy to commit murder. (Con-together; spire-breathe; conspiracy - breathe together).
At a minimum, you should have questions.
Beyond the zapruder film and who was on the Warren Commission, the only thing you can state with any certainty is that jfk was killed in Dallas.
