“Iranian ballistic missile ...”
I had a friend and a golfing buddy (a few years older than I) — he told me that one day when he was in Viet Nam while sleeping (it was mid morning, he was on night patrol at the time) — he was asleep and then he heard the ‘whistle’ sound of a projectile getting closer...
He woke up (mind you he was 6’ 3” a BIG man) and jumped out of his bunk and covered himself with his mattress against a wall!
The missile/bomb landed just 3’ from the wall he was retreating to...
It was a dud.
He lived his life well from that day forward.
Died of a heart attack at 56.
At least he had a legacy of good children and a nice farm.
One never knows his end date...I am grateful to have known Don Kuipers...
Thanks for all the great memes. Some so sad....
I will have to check this X account often for feelgoods!
Prayers for your cousin and all the affected people. My sis is okay, on big hill outside Asheville.
We really do miss bagster! Thanks for that!
One thing we know about Muslim countries. They lie a lot about their victories and how strong their military is (example: IRAQ and the “elite” Republican guards).
Reposting your messages on TS and X. thank you
I hope the Brothel Media is about to see its day❗

PREPPER QUESTION...
Do food items in plastic bottles last longer than their expiration date?
Too bad they stopped putting them in glass bottles and container.
Anything I buy in plastic bags or containers I transfer to glass. I don’t buy a lot in plastic. Plastic is just nasty in many ways.
PS - for instance, I buy 12# of honey at a time from Azure Standard and we immediately put into two half gallon glass jars. 12# honey is a gallon. We use a fair amount of honey.
What about mayonnaise, mustards, tartar sauce, horseradish and some salad dressings?
They would spoil if opened.
I will no longer feel compelled to be considerate of others.
The societal contract has been broken and nullified by society as a whole.
I was found to be sub-human by society.
I was not accorded simple human dignity.
I will no longer honor my part in that old contract.
I will no longer be considerate of the general public.
I will not be nice, just because I may offend someone.
I will not extend common courtesies if they are not required.
I will not put the best construction on another’s situation if it is not warranted.
Sadly, this applies to my family, also.
Just
Don’t
Comply
