Wait until they find out they still have to report it on their taxes as "income".
I check a local Facebook group periodically, there’s lots of rumors going around about FEMA and their “loans”, I have no idea what’s true and what isn’t but there’s probably one positive post about big government to a hundred against it. Very few are happy with the level of “assistance”
So far all the help is local and people are banding together to figure out what others need. There have been calls for people to quit donating food and clothes because they have more than they can give away. They actually need generators and chainsaws, those are a lot more pricey
Truly awesome interview! Just imagine Trump having an actual debate with Kamala on economics, no moderator, just conversation back-and-forth. He can talk so fast and with such clarity and knowledge on so many topics. Her lack of knowledge would be so exposed not even her collaborators in the propaganda media could hide her ignorance.
The last few days my left eye seems to be doing better with using the steriod drops I don’t feel that sliver feeling like I was. I am almost out of them so the test will be if it comes back or not. I sure hope not.
I ordered me an electric eye warmer and it came yesterday. I think I will use it everyday. I just didn’t like having to microwave my other one and it only stated warm about 10 min.
Do you do yours every day and at what temp and for how long?
I took my big wrap bandage off my hand last night. Only have to put a small one on now. I am trying to type this with both hands and it is begining to hurt some. Stitches come out Monday.
Love it. Christian civilization has its benefits.
Lol oh my.
If this is true, it will be epic. President Trump working at McDoanld’s this Sunday lol.

LOL
Won’t that be a HOOT?!
He’ll have a lot of fun doing it, too!
Kamala doing that-she’d look like she took a big suck
on a sour lemon!

DIARY OF A SNOW SHOVELER:
Moved to North Dakota this fall. We heard that summers are fun and winter is beautiful. We think there is no more beautiful a place in the whole world!
December 8 - 6:00 PM It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses print. So romantic, we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!
December 9 - We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the whole world? Moving here was the best idea I’ve ever had! Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks.
This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life!
December 12 - The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment! My neighbor tells me not to worry- we’ll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we’ll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I’ll never want to see snow again. I don’t think that’s possible. Bob is such a nice man, I’m glad he’s our neighbor.

December 14 - Snow, lovely snow! 8 inches last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn’t realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I’ll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn’t huff and puff so.
December 15 - 20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife’s car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that’s silly. We aren’t in Alaska, after all.
December 16 - Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel.
December 17 - Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should’ve bought a wood stove, but won’t admit it to her. God! I hate it when she’s right. I can’t believe I’m freezing to death in my own living room.
December 20 - Electricity’s back on, but had another 14 inches of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling! Took all day. The damn snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but. they said they’re too busy playing hockey. I think they’re lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they’re out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they’re lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he’s lying.
December 22 - Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white shit fell today, and it’s so cold, it probably won’t melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and dressed again, I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob-who has a plow on his truck-for the rest of the winter, but he says he’s too busy. I think the asshole is lying.
December 23 - Only 2 inches of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she, nuts?!! Why didn’t she tell me to do that a month ago. She says she did but I think she’s lying.
December 24 - 6 inches - Snow packed so hard by snowplow, l broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a bitch who drives that snow plow, I’ll drag him through the snow by his balls and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling, and then he comes down the street...at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I’ve just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents...but I was too busy watching for the damn snowplow.
December 25 - Merry f-—ing Christmas! 20 more inches of the damn slop tonight - snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God, I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she’s a fricking idiot. If I have to watch “It’s A Wonderful Life” one more time, I’m going to feed her through a chipper shredder.
December 26 - Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She’s really getting on my nerves.
December 27 - Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze; plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me $4,400 to replace all my pipes.
December 28 - Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. The BITCH is driving me crazy!!!
December 29 - 10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That’s the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?
December 30 - Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver, and now he is suing me for a million dollars, not only for the beating I gave him, but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up his ass. The wife went home to her mother. Nine more inches predicted.
December 31 - I set fire to what’s left of the house. No more shoveling.
January 8 - Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed ???

Now you are making me worry about my fantasies of moving to a better and safer place!
That is one gorgeous mellow cat. I can’t believe he just let her pick up his paws and clip them, put on that little beanie. And then the rest. My Persians fought back more than that.
Good idea on the electric eye mask. I don’t know why so many doctors recommend that Bruder mask, it’s microwavable only and it’s either way too hot or not warm enough.
Yes I tried to do it everyday. When my eyes hurt I tried for twice a day. Tried, didn’t quite make it. I try to keep mine at 104°, that’s the temperature the Meibomian oil melts at, the lipiflow operates at that temperature so I figure that’s good enough. That’s a machine that melts the oils and expresses them.
Hotter of course might make it melt faster and better but my eyes feel drier if I do that.
“ Christian civilization has its benefits.”
For sure.
That’s hilarious. I’ve been pondering if I should have moved to Idaho or Wyoming or montana. Or North Dakota I guess. Or south. This kind of helped me be satisfied where I am
Overstated just a tiny bit, but entirely missed the endless joy of driving in Winter along with what seems like a malignant horde of former SOCAL drivers never saw a snowflake before but still think they can drive 80MPH anywhere they chose.
My cure for those jokers is simply to go everywhere in my grubbiest snowplow equipped 4WD and scrape the odd collider off into the ditch along with a sympathy card attached to the police report before I continue on my way. (Yeah, I'll take 'em back to meet their ride home...usually)
A few suggestions for wintering in the Northlands:
1. Never live in town and especially don't live in a house ain't been there for at least 40 years and already has wood stoves, roofs can handle a snow load and standby power.
2. Snow shovels, blowers etc are used ONLY to clear the porch and walkway to that grubby snowplow equipped 4WD I mentioned earlier.
3. When you use that same truck to plow your lane down to the county road, remember to bring extra coffee for Ole the county plow driver. This snow clearing crap is a team exercise even if we don't have to pick any of those fool flatlanders out of the ditch as well.
