Crazy times. I wish we had a way to archive WP threads like that. Would be great for propagating text files as images, when current AI is processing only the former, and deleting them from the internet. AI ain’t figured out how to memory-hole PNG files yet.
We need to be able to tell our grandchildren what happened. History is written by the victors, and accurate records are needed for that.
It’s all coming down, since we elected DJT.
Had we elected HRC, it all would have been reinforced.

Read this all, slowly, and my next link.
It’s all interconnected. The downfall of H’wood, the impending defeat of ISIS, our new re-alliances, alliances with countries we never thought we’d be allied with against NK, the rise of omni-nationalism where every nation has the natural right to ethnic self determination.
(Hi, Japan! Hi Poland! Hi Russia! Hi Mexico! Glad to see you all know you have the right to remain Japanese, Polish, Russian, and Mexican! I wish Western Nations had that right.
Goodbye France. Goodbye Norway. Goodbye Great Britain. Goodbye USA.)
The latter is not our destiny. We are going to be, as a nation, free, or we are going to be, as a nation, dead. I think we chose the former, when we chose Trump.

“Frosting was his favorite. He liked to eat doughnuts at every meal. Because it was healthier to eat six small meals a day than three large ones, he restricted himself: jellied for breakfast, glazed for brunch, cream-filled for lunch, frosting for linner, chocolate for dinner, and powdered sugar for 2 a.m. supermarket stakeout. Because linner coincided with the daily crime peak, he always ate his favorite variety to ease him. Frosting was his only choice now, and upsetting his routine was a quiet thrill.” ~ Benson Bruno, A Story That Talks about Talking Is Like Chatter to Chattering Teeth, and Every Set of Dentures Can Attest to the Fact That No..

This Day in History: The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier – Tara Ross
http://www.taraross.com/2016/11/this-day-in-history-the-tomb-of-the-unknown-soldier/
On this day in 1921, an unidentified soldier from World War I was interred in a Tomb—the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. President Warren Harding spoke at the ceremony. He opened with these words:
“We are met today to pay the impersonal tribute. The name of him whose body lies before us took flight with his imperishable soul. We know not whence he came, but only that his death marks him with the everlasting glory of an American dying for his country.”
Emblazoned on the back of the Tomb are the words:
Here rests in honored glory an American soldier known but to God
Later, other crypts were added, nearby, for unknown soldiers from World War II, Korea and Vietnam. (The Vietnam soldier was later identified, so that crypt is vacant today.) Did you know that the Tomb has no official name? This is why you hear the names “Tomb of the Unknown Soldier” and “Tomb of the Unknowns” used interchangeably.
Today, the Tomb is a tribute to those American soldiers who gave their lives for their country in these wars, without having their remains identified. The Tomb is guarded 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, in all sorts of weather. The sentinels who guard the tomb are the best soldiers from the elite 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment. These soldiers go through intense training and testing before they are qualified to be sentinels. The job is considered a great honor.
Happy Veterans Day! And a big thank you to all our military men and women for their service!

I visited the Tomb as a seventh grader and it was a moment I will always remember. Our teacher went to great lengths to explain the proper etiquette and honor we were to show, and let us know if we dared to break silence she’d kill us, and she would have. We were much more respectful than some of the adults there.
Things like what she taught us, that influences how you develop as a child, how you think about things like your country, and those who died for it. She made a profound influence on us, and I doubt there are many she taught who did not retain the respect she taught us.

Happy Veteran’s Day, everyone! Especially the veterans here on this site!
I am starting a position as a receptionist through a staffing company on Monday. It’s full time work.
So…I am really, really thankful to have this opportunity. I was about to have to ask to have my student loan payments deferred, but literally the day I was getting ready to do that, I got this offer. Thanks be to God. Now all I need to do is find some health insurance.
However, I am nervous about starting a new position. I’ve worked in offices before where they didn’t train me for what I needed to do, and then they just got mad at me later when I didn’t do it right. I’m trying not to let the bad things in the past affect my excitement over this new opportunity. But as I’ve learned since I then, once someone has shattered your confidence it’s hard to rebuild.
And I did have to separate from the radio station. I might be able to do some work for them in the future, but they can’t hire me. That door is closed right now. I knew that was one of the potential outcomes, but I didn’t expect hearing that to feel like my heart was getting ripped out.
Thank you everyone for the prayers. I really appreciate them! Please pray that this new opportunity will turn into a full time job for me when the temp period is up.

I worked as a substitute in some private schools for a few years. The one my son was in was somewhat of a disaster for me. They didn’t tell me anything and I kept getting in trouble for things I didn’t know. One of the other schools gave me a list of the names of the children and a schedule and things went really well. In fact, I quit at the other one and this school used me exclusively and when any teacher was out, I was the sub for her. So I ended up working almost full time at that school and we were all very happy.
My only advice is to ask questions. And, make notes. And, good luck. I hope it works out for you. I am making a note to remember you in my prayers.

As JTR said everyone is nervous starting a new job. The great thing about temp work is if you hit it off, it leads to more temp jobs or a permanent offer, and if it doesn’t, just list your reason’s to the agency in a professional and calm way. I enjoyed almost all my temp work. I did have one bad experience, but THEY were the problem not me. It did not stop me, and because I was calm and professional in my complaint, the agency called me back for more jobs. Also, everyone’s learning curve is different. I’m smart, but a slow learner. Good employers realize this, and will take the time to explain the work,and what is expected of you. My grandmother went to work at a bank after my grandfather died. They just told her to sort piles of paper by their color. She kept asking questions about why she was doing things, and she ended up being the head of international factoring (exchange rates) for the First National Bank of Boston! Keep the 3 P’s: professional, positive, persistent, and you’ll do fine! 🙂

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
And, Lord, we pray for all the people who have been affected by the earthquakes and hurricanes.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
