Was the day before Covid Christmas and all through the house, no one was going in or out. There was no blazing yule log, in the fireplace for the cat or dog. No need to bake cookies for Santa this night, Because dining in was outlawed outright. No cookies, fudge with nuts, or pumpkin pies; No company was allowed due to the governmental restrictions and lies. But alas what did we see…. A star in the sky this Christmas Eve A star to remind us of a star back when, A star to remind us of our needs now and...

Anybody? Prayer while feeling like I am going to throw up.

With all of the hoopla going on about Trump appointing his third SC Justice, as well as the huge ideological differences between the Democrats and the Republicans, the current Justices are worthy of Secret Service protection. In all my time on FR as well as other sources, there has been no mention of SS protection of the SC Justices. What about their family? No better way to get the attention of an SC Justice that to harm or murder one of their family members.

The Creek Fire in the Central Sierras has again almost doubled overnight. As of this morning, it is 134,000 acres and that was a number from several hours ago. The 80-90% tree mortality is a major contributor to the feeding of this monster. The fire started at Big Creek which is a So Cal Edison town that supplies hydropower to So California for SCE corporation. The cause of the fire is unknown. It decimated Big Creek, has taken out half the town of Shaver Lake and is moving south to Auberry and east to North Fork, Bass Lake, and Oakhurst....

I have been having medical issues for several months now and have been seeing several specialists. I have an MRI tomorrow morning that will be the deciding information as to what is going on. Please pray for the results. I will say that it is not cancer, but it is some serious stuff that they are trying to determine. I should know the results at some point next week.

I have several associates that deep in the tank Democrats. They are having a really rough time right now. One who is a socialist is deeply depressed. As they are slowly realizing the Muller investigation is a huge nothingburger and that the impeachment of Trump is but a pipe dream they are severely depressed. One would think that they should be filled with glee about riding that huge blue wave that is supposed to arrive in November. But alas they have also come to realize that is this another dream that is turning into a nightmare. I personally cannot wait...

The Ferguson Fire in Yosemite National Park has jumped Hwy 41 in the Park. The fire is now headed toward Badger Pass Ski area, which is a fire base camp. There is only one road in and out of that area. The fire crews are now trapped and have to shelter in place. PLEASE pray for the safety of the fire crews at that location. They are in immediate danger. We have already lost two firefighters with this fire.

Between the shootings in Washington DC and the shooting at the UPS warehouse in San Francisco, the no gun allow cities are faring too well today. So how is that working for you Dems? Meanwhile back in Chicago......

I have friends from both sides of the aisle on FB. I generally ignore their political posts, especially during elections. But I have noticed a new trend in the past week or two. The lower Hillary is in the polls, the louder, the more derisive, and the more often they are posting about Trump and his supporters. I don't think that we are even close to seeing the meltdown of Hillary's minions.

Okay here is my solution for mass shooting, and violence in America. Do a mass firearm training of women. We can work this throughout our society. We can start with prior military women and those that have hunting licenses. Then work on those that don't have any prior knowledge and/or training. Provide them with a weapon that they are able to handle and also provide them with a lockbox for their weapon. Women can opt of this if they are a pantie twister. Also they will be background checks for drugs along with any other issues that make it unsafe...

Okay, so we have our phone listed on the Do Not Call list including the cell phone. My husbands cell phone keeps getting a call from a number we don't recognize so we don't answer it. After several calls tonight I do a reverse look-up. Sure enough this phone is from NYC and has numerous comlaints listed again it as telmarketing. I have had the phone nuxt to me for about 1 1/2 hours. This person has now called this phone 9 times. At what point does this constitute harrasment?

Mom is going into surgery in a few. She threw a new blood clot. They tried to remove it yesterday but couldn't. She has been in ICU with clot buster meds all night long. So now they are going back in for another try this morning.

Predictions for the next four years. Obama 2016

Praise God, my oldest is now home from his deployment in the Middle East. Thank you to all that have prayed for him and for me.

Just felt a nice little jolt in Central California.

Can anyone who has the ability to draw (not myself) make up a cartoon about the Obama campaign. The drawing should show the a bus featuring an Obama 2012 logo. Under the bus is Ambassador Stevens and the three others that were murdered in Libya. The caption can read "A bump in the road.'

Please pray for my family. My youngest son is very ill. This has been going on for two weeks. He is 22 years old. I can count on one hand how many times this kid has been sick, so this is a rare situation for him. Our doctor has run lab work (include blood and urine) and done an ultrasound without any conclusive diagnosis. They are running more tests as of yesterday with no results as yet. Now on to my oldest son. He just deployed to the Middle East. Nuff said. My husband has outpatient surgery on Thursday. Normally...

There was considerable mention of a border fence between Mexico and Guatemala a few years back. Did Mexico make good on their stance and build that wall on their southern border?

Okay what is going on? Every time I try to get on, get into a thread or even post this, I get an error message.

HELP! I just manage to obtain one of the HP Touchpads that they were dumping for a ridiculously low amount of money. I love it, but I am not a computer techie type so I am experiencing a major learning curve. How do you get the Quickoffice program to let you do data entry like writing a letter, creating a report? I asked my techie son about downloading an office softword program, but he claims that all I need is Quickoffice.
