Things are getting a little better each day. Last night in my sleep I tore me brace completely off. Woke up with my neck turned, and had to get light to find both pieces of brace. Hope I didn’t do much damage.
How are you doing?
My heart is breaking for my neighbor. Daughter got hooked on meth. Daughter was in hospital, checked herself out today even though doctor said she has blood infection and it is weakening heart. Neighbor has her 2 granddaughters. She doesn’t know what to do, thinking her daughter may die. I gave her some numbers I thought someone could call if they’re having a crisis or at least help for family members, but we couldn’t find anything. She said she’d just like to drive off a bridge but I told her the granddaughters need her.
Very sad, will pray for her right now.
Joining you in prayer.

Knox begins the Knox Expedition
On this day in history, November 17, 1775, Henry Knox begins the “Knox Expedition,” leaving Boston for Fort Ticonderoga at the direction of George Washington to bring 60 tons of captured British artillery across the frozen mountains of New England and back to Boston to help drive the British out of the city. The trip became known as the Knox Expedition and makes the history books because of Knox’s daring feat, bringing the cannons across a large lake, on snow sleds and across frozen rivers.
Henry Knox was a 25 year old bookseller from Boston with an interest in military history. When George Washington took control of the Continental Army at Boston, he and Knox became friends. Benedict Arnold, Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys of Vermont had captured Fort Ticonderoga in New York in May, along with its huge supply of cannons and other materiel.
Washington sent Knox to retrieve the cannons, a journey that was supposed to last two weeks. Knox reached Ticonderoga on December 5. He chose 60 tons of cannons, mortars and howitzers, including several 24 pound cannons known as “Big Berthas,” which were 11 feet long and weighed 5,000 pounds.
The cannons were carried to the northern end of Lake George and put on a ship. The ship grounded once on a rock and began to sink at another point because of the weight. It was almost a disaster, but the water was bailed out and the cannons arrived safely at the southern tip of the lake. It was already winter and Knox built 42 sleds to pull the cannons across the wilderness with 80 yoke of oxen. Two frozen rivers had to be crossed and several cannons broke through the ice, but were retrieved each time.
Snow and ice, including two feet of snow that fell on Christmas Day, impeded Knox’s progress, but he continued to press on. John Adams wrote that he saw the “noble train of artillery,” as the equipment came to be called, pass through Framingham, Massachusetts on January 25. The weapons arrived at Cambridge, just outside Boston, on January 27, nearly two months after leaving Ticonderoga. General Washington placed the cannons around Boston, including at the high point of Dorchester Heights, overlooking both the city and the harbor. The advantage forced General William Howe to abandon the city and the British never did return to northern New England.
Coincidentally, Henry Knox received a Colonel’s commission from the Continental Congress, and was appointed Chief of the Continental Artillery, also on November 17, 1775, the same day he left to begin the expedition. One year later, after the Battle of Trenton, in which his artillery played an important role, Colonel Knox was promoted to Brigadier General. He became one of George Washington’s most trusted advisers. He was promoted to Major General in 1782 and later served as President Washington’s Secretary of War.

The one in NY under Engoron was lifted.
Trump is talking here about the one in DC.
Whew! Thanks for the warning!
Oh my. That is so awful. The poor woman, and poor granddaughters. Praying for them now.
Glad you’re on the mend.
Judy … yes feeling pretty decent
I’m down to 1-2 Tylenol 2x day. Prior surgery I was on 1 motrin & 2 Excedrins every four hours. This for back and shingles neuralgia . I haven’t had the real test yet though like going to the laundromat or doing food shopping. Also using Frankensence topical undiluted on back . That has helped too
Still plugging along on kitchen project Work 2 hours using stool & then down an hour
Surgery incisions healed up nicely. Sleeping long hours still. Food- eating a bit more but nothing after 5.
Excellent! Thanks for that positive report. Glad you’re eating more and sleeping a lot!
Thanks for the explanation.
Yes, I was just wondering that as well. Thanks!
Has anyone been in contact with Weston?
Well, they were trying to toss him, but justice prevailed. This is surprising, as the judge should have recused herself from the start.
I’m probably not going back to Rally thread til after rally. I prefer to keep most of posting at home site- here. For me It’s very frustrating to try to locate something later when one has been posting at a dozen sites. I only have one device so I can either stream the rally or be posting. I go to Q thread on occasion but mostly lurk. They’re good folk n bright. I’ve been able to keep up with most news at Truth, X or Telegram
I hope your brace can be more fitted/adjusted. You surely don’t want to screw up the surgery. Has the operation hindered eating or talking?
Actually, I believe it is started every time there is a trump Rally
well there will be plenty of digging going on, too bad there is no sound
