Ah, Good Morning S&S! Yes, let the kitchen games begin! I started some bread last night – an extended rise so it will be fine – and have already made two batches of cookies which are resting comfortably in the ‘fridge. Now all I need is the oven.
Got a call from the company last evening. The installation is a two part extravaganza. First team comes and hauls the old unit away and sets the new one in place. Second team arrives and ‘certifies’ the installation, which, because it’s propane, requires credentialing. WHA???? Supposedly this process mitigates their liability in case the darn thing blows us to smithereens. Which would totally mean no Christmas cookies. HA!
Hope you have a great day.

Well y’all, I have completed my biggest job ever. Finished It Monday, took about 4 days. Completely primed and painted a house, stained floors, stenciled a lovely faux gilded inlay pattern, then poly’d the floors, striped a wall in a bedroom, and papered an accent wall in the great room.
Did a faux brick exterior that looks astounding.
I sure hope my granddaughter loves her doll house. It has hours and hours of hard work in it. Today I tackle the actual work of my life left to do before Christmas, which piled up big time while I played doll house.
The countdown begins, for me at least. Will the crazy, frazzled, tired woman get themshopping, cleaning, cooking, and all the wrapping done between coffee time and Jack time?
Will she get to Friday Adoration and remember the reason for all this work? I’ll have another coffee, please. I’m tired already!

I am doing better as long as I am careful how I move, and don’t lift anything much heavier than a cup of coffee! My abdomen injury is affecting eating etc, and will take a few more months(!) to heal the doc said, but it will heal :-). I am hoping no more tests or any surgery will be necessary. The constant pain has subsided, so I can get sleep, and that is most recuperative. It’s weird – I did not think what I was doing was that unusual, but I obviously did something wrong! So everyone PLEASE be very aware and careful when moving heavy objects – even if it’s something you have done in the past. Thanks to all!

Very cool! We made stained glass cookies when the girls were little, we smashed up some kind of hard candy and put it inside of empty spaces in cutout sugar cookies then baked them in an oven and let the candy melt. They looked really pretty but were inedible as the candy seemed to just wrap around your teeth and stay stuck there. Melting Jolly Ranchers sounds like a better way to go!

Money was always tight when our kids were little. I would buy all the stuff to make the houses over the course of weeks, especially all the candy. The oldest and youngest would mostly eat their pile as they went along, then eat the house. Middle son would hoard his candy, guard it from the other two who were left with nothing much after eating their own, and save the danged house until I threw it away around Lent.
Of course, after the first disaster I found this article that showed how “easy” it was to make the houses out of graham crackers, so that’s what we did for years. Not much better, except you didn’t have as much blood, sweat, and tears in it when the blasted thing collapsed.

We used graham crackers from the get go. So it wasn’t a complete loss as at least I could eat them with my tea after the fiasco of “Red skittles look stupid on the door!” “No! The gumdrops are too big!”
Money was tight for us also, we home schooled so I could justify it as learning experience of ratios, scale etc. Of course it ended up being a lesson in my not pulling my hair out instead.

Judge Declares Mistrial in Bundy Case After Documented Government Conspiracy Against the Family is Revealed
Posted on December 21, 2017 by Alex Thomas
http://www.dcclothesline.com/2017/12/21/judge-declares-mistrial-in-bundy-case-after-documented-government-conspiracy-against-the-family-is-revealed/
Just days after a shocking whistleblower complaint from a leading BLM investigator, a federal judge has declared a mistrial in the case against the Bundy family who have been accused of leading a 2014 standoff with the government over cattle grazing rights.
The judge, Chief U.S. District Court Judge Gloria Navarro, admonished the prosecution for specifically (and most likely purposefully) failing to turn over “potentially exculpatory” evidence to the Bundy defense team. Navarro also dismissed the jurors in the case despite seven weeks of testimony from overzealous prosecutors hellbent on taking out the entire Bundy family.
“The judge is obligated to disclose all evidence that might be favorable to defense attorneys,” she said, according to a report in The Washington Times.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/dec/20/judge-declares-mistrial-cliven-bundy-case/
New trial scheduled for February in 2014 Nevada standoff.
“It’s a step in the right direction,” Ryan Bundy told reporters outside the Las Vegas courthouse. “So now we’ve got to go through a few more steps and get this properly dismissed. There’s a lot more to do, but we’re glad to have this step done.”

Love Mark Steyn. Well worth the read.
This also brings up the concept being used by those who would destroy us – that these are “mentally ill” people. It does not have anything to do with islam (*). If you demean them, then you demean the mentally ill. If you go to the W.H.O. they have records on the highest rates of mental illness. The highest is Somalia. In islam some imams allow inbreeding, and along with a violent and perverse culture, of course mental illness is rampant. The question is: Why are we letting in people with mental illness that is obvious and/or easy to test for? The ban by President Trump is a good first step, but many of these “mentally ill” people are in Europe now, and can come here from there.
(*)Well I guess that proves that islam along with (new age) liberalism is a mental disorder.

The Great Brain Drain by Mark Steyn Steyn on Culture December 19, 2017
THE DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSFORMATION OF THE WESTERN WORLD IS “THE BIGGEST STORY OF OUR TIME”, and it will indeed determine all the others. A line from America Alone is, the future belongs to those who show up for it. And, if those showing up in America, Britain, Sweden, Austria are dramatically different from the entire history of those polities, then the future will be something of a crap shoot.
For example, this story from my old friends at The Spectator – “Is IQ Falling Across the West?” …the Nordic nations are projected to see national intelligence scores drop by a total of seven points by 2025.” “Something” has “happened”, eh? In 1900 Sweden’s foreign-born population was 0.07 per cent -, of whom all but 300 were from Europe or North America. By 2010 Sweden’s foreign-born population was just under 15 per cent, of whom two-thirds were born outside the EU. In the space of a century, from 1950 to 2050, Sweden will have gone from an homogeneous ethnic state with barely any visible minority population to a land in which ETHNIC SWEDES WILL THEMSELVES BE THE MINORITY.You can’t really do that sort of thing without upending everything. In once boringly placid Sweden, all the indicators are going wacky. Whether or not you’re in favor of wholesale demographic transformation as a matter of public policy, it would seem unlikely that you could accomplish such a thing in a couple of generations without it having some impact on IQ. In fact, it would render any comparative measure of IQ between 1950 Swedes and 2050 Swedes as completely pointless.
According to a 2007 study by the Rockwool Foundation, after ten years in the Danish school system, two-thirds of students with an Arabic background remain functionally illiterate. In Bradford, Yorkshire, 75 PER CENT OF PAKISTANI BRITONS ARE MARRIED TO THEIR FIRST COUSINS, MANY OF WHOM ARE THEMSELVES THE CHILDREN OF FIRST COUSINS. In the new west, why even bother worrying about IQ?
And the more demographic transformation transforms, the more ill-advised it becomes to mention it. Before 9/11, even the BBC was happy to discuss whether the resurgence of rickets in the United Kingdom is due to Muslim dress. Sixteen years later, when UKIP bring it up, it’s cited as proof they’re a laughingstock. A question for Professor Bates is WHETHER A SOCIETY IN WHICH MORE AND MORE SUBJECTS ARE RULED OUT OF PUBLIC DISCOURSE SHOULD EXPECT ITS MEASURES OF INTELLIGENCE TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN HEAD SOUTH – FOR NATIVE AND NON-NATIVE ALIKE. Thus: …the student “clientele” had deteriorated so dramatically over the years that the classroom struck me as a barn full of ruminants and the curriculum as a stack of winter ensilage… The level of interest in and attention to the subjects was about as flat as a fallen arch. The ability to write a coherent English sentence was practically nonexistent; ordinary grammar was a traumatic ordeal. In fact, many native English-speakers could not produce a lucid verbal analysis of a text, let alone carry on an intelligible conversation, and some were even unable to properly pronounce common English words.

Honestly, I think the self appointed elites in the West don’t care. As long as they can maintain their little self-proclaimed fiefdoms, it doesn’t matter to them how many parents can’t find a halfway decent school to put their kids in or that the collective IQ of the country goes sliding into the double digits.

A large percentage of Western government officials, and elites who vote in those officials, never have to deal with the consequences of their immigration policies. Their insulation allows them to dictate to their citizens and punish those who don’t toe the party line.
Until Western nations stop this insanity and dissolution of citizen rights, chaos will become an every-day thing and annihilation inevitable.

In case anyone else has the same problem, when I clicked on the video, it went black and said “This video could not be played.” I clicked on the space under the video which took me to a twitter page and found the video on it and it worked when I clicked on it.

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.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.

What a beautiful moment ❤️.
When Vice President Pence asked President Trump is he would like him to carry a message to the troops while he was overseas President Trump said “Tell them that I love them.”
