I wasn’t about for the early days of TCTH rather I arrived on a branch not long after Frowny Brown was shot.
I was pleased to find mostly rational talk and people dissecting the media’s false narrative.
I didn’t post on the daily chat at first but when I read there I never felt it was a clique. People have history and they are going to have conversations where a new person can’t jump right in, it is the state of being human, but I thought 99% of the daily thread was all inclusive whether you were a noob or an old timer.
Something I really appreciated when I first arrived at the Tree was the lack of “personal bash pile-ons” unfortunately that seems to be a prevalent state of being now. Trolls were met with the silent treatment or quickly “bounced” now, not so much.
I was recently accused of being a bearded Muslim man Cruz-bot because I had the audacity to say that there are far better weapons to wield against a Cruz presidency than the NBC argument.

Many years ago, I had a hysterectomy. The doctors told me to walk every day but I lived up on a very steep hill and couldn’t walk easily up it after the surgery. We had a very large patio out back with a pool, so I went out there and did laps around the pool, just wearing my tee shirt style gown that came to my knees. My next door neighbor saw me and came out one afternoon to ask how I was. While we were talking a bee flew up my gown and starting stinging me on my sore stomach.
I honestly don’t remember much after that, but apparently I pulled the gown up over my head, covering it, but not off, and ran in circles in my underwear, eventually running into the house crying. That part I do remember. The neighbor said I negotiated the few steps completely blind, still having the gown over my head.
At least where I live now if I run around partially unclothed only the dogs witness it. Which is one big reason I live where I live.

We learned that by accident years ago. We had built a bigger pig pen and decided to turn the smaller pig pen into a small garden. That first year all we planted was cantaloupes in it as it was kind of an after thought and we already had everything else planted.
We had so many huge cantaloupes. We couldn’t eat or give them all away. So we started feeding pigs cantaloupes and every since we’ve done it.
Then I remembered that my parents and grandparents would do that, but I never was curious enough to ask why.

And the women. Well, my opinion of the have to be mollycoddled and pampered and jeweled and lacquered and layered and painted women, who then squeeze 10 pounds of made up face and the body with it into two square inches of material, usually see through. Well, I have an even worse opinion of many of today’s women than I do the men.

A Poem
I was shocked , confused, bewildered
as I entered Heaven’s door,
not by the beauty of it all,
nor the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven
who made me sputter and gasp–
the thieves, the liars, the sinners,
the alcoholics and the trash.
There stood the kid from seventh grade
who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
who never said anything nice.
Bob, who I always thought
was rotting away in hell,
was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, ‘What’s the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How’d all these sinners get up here?
God must’ve made a mistake!.’
‘And why is everyone so quiet,
so somber – give me a clue.’
‘Hush, child,’ He said,
‘they’re all in shock.
No one thought they’d be seeing you.’

The first thing I thought of is that we all used to hang out at hillbuzz.org, and kevie used to be a Hillary supporter, so somebody who doesn’t know the whole story took a leap to an incorrect conclusion. If you read all of her (and it is a woman) comments, it’s obvious she’s at the very least embroidering the truth. She calls SD a full out Hillarybot.

This little guy reminds me of a family friend from my childhood. He was a fragile little guy and had to be over 90 years old, we would go visit him about once a week. We would be watching the news together and some terrible character would come across the screen, without fail he would look at me and say “Lovely, I think we should go kick his ass.”
Then he would wink and smile while punching his fist in his open hand.

When my kids were teens we were in a store, I think it was Bass Pro Shop in Springfield, MO, but it might have been a different store. Anyway, we were walking around looking at stuff and they had the cans of whoop ass, it was the first time I had saw one. So I pick it up and am reading it and I think my DH is behind me so I say in my serious voice, “I’m going to open up a can of whoop ass on you.” It wasn’t my DH and the person was looking at me half in fear and half in anger and about the same time I hear my 3 kids and my DH laughing. They had witnessed it and thought it was hilarious.
I was embarrassed and I’m sure my face was beet red as I apologized and tried to explain I was just reading the can.
To this day anyone says “whoop ass” they will say, “mama’s going to open up a can of whoop ass on you,” and then they’ll ask, “do you remember that time?” I always tell them that I won’t ever forget because they won’t allow me to forget.
