Hello everyone! Hope all is well. I haven’t posted in a long time, but I do want you to know I still “lurk” and read comments.
Things OK in Switzerland, although I am a bit tired of winter (we had a bit more snow last Saturday). Can’t wait to sit on the balcony with “that view” in the summer.
I am EXHAUSTED trying to keep up with politics (Mueller reports, investigations, lawsuits, talking heads, etc.). I think I need a break from next door, if you know what I mean.
In other news, I have started “intermittent fasting”, which fits perfectly into my lifestyle. Basically, you can eat anything you want (within moderation) for a 6-8 hour time period each day, and then fast the other 16-18 hours, most of which is sleeping. I’ve lost 35 pounds and feel wonderful! Aches and pains vanished, too. I am sleeping better, and have found that I am not as hungry as I thought I would be. My partner and I have noticed that we are consuming about 1/2 of what we used to, not because of the fasting, but because we feel fuller faster. We still drink bourbon and nibble chocolate, and have cocktails before dinner and wine with meals, but other than keeping within the timeframe, we have not had to give up any kind of food/drink.

If it is hard to get out for a walk you can get what my granddaughter calls the jumpoline. A rebounder stays on my front porch because I like the view of my woods all around. I jump on it multiple times a day. It is very easy on your joints, and if you look up the info on it, surprisingly good for your body, not just aerobically, but for stronger core muscles, and other benefits as well. NASA uses it for their training of astronauts.
You have to get a good one though, the cheap ones mess up your ankles and can cause joint pain. I bought mine in 2015, and I doubt there are a dozen days I have not used it, and used it a lot. For anyone with any kind of joint or back pain, this might be a great option. Also, rain or snow (haha on snow down here, thank God) I get my steps in.

I bought one of those exercise balls. I bounce on that. I can really feel it in my thighs and tummy after I’ve done it. It’s nice to able to take it anywhere in the house with me. I also have a recumbent exercise bike in our game room, but the TV upstairs is messed up, so I have nothing to do while I’m on it, which bores me. I’ve tried reading while on it, but it doesn’t work, it has to be something visual to take my mind off of what I’m doing. I like those little mini-tramps like you suggested and I’d love to do that, but I’m not supposed to jump due to a hip condition. Wish I could. It’s kind of why I got the ball… it’s close, but it doesn’t hurt my hip.

My husband and I are doing that too, most days. Two or three days a week I usually fast 18-20 hours, the rest about 16, but I often eat breakfast on Sunday. It’s pretty good that it works for whatever your schedule is. I like to skip breakfast and fast until afternoon or even until 3-4 pm. My husband eats breakfast and lunch, skips supper.

Off to a doctor’s appointment with Czarina today – 45 miles one way. Our primary physician-owned hospital has decided to become a mega-monster by buying or taking over management of every hospital it can in a two-state area. In the process it sends its doctors to them to become administrators. They spend so many hours a week administrating (i.e., controlling the host until the circuit bureaucrats can rotate thru to ensure compliance) and a few doctoring.
Czarina and I have lost docs to the process but we have a few specialists we like so much we make the trip to see them in the far flung corners of the uber-hospital’s empire. Plus we get a nice coastal seafood lunch.

Sharing this article by Sultan Knish (Daniel Greenfield) because it is moving and powerful, and he is so right! Please read it all.
Courage and Cowardice on the Last Day of Passover in California
John T. Earnest came to a small synagogue in a small California city of 50,000 with a rifle and big dreams of killing Jews. In a manifesto posted on 8chan, he boasted, “I would die a thousand times over”…
Inside, an elderly Rabbi, a 60-year old woman, an 9-year-old girl, and other Jewish worshipers celebrating the final day of Passover showed him the true meaning of courage.
The older congregants in the sanctuary of Chabad of Poway, the city’s sole Orthodox Jewish synagogue, were reciting Yizkor, the prayer for deceased loved ones, an occasion that can summon even the most secular Jew to the synagogue, while the younger children were playing in the synagogue’s hall.
Had Earnest opened fire in the sanctuary, many of the congregants asking the Lord to embrace their parents and grandparents, and unite their souls with those of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all of their forefathers, would have joined them in death. But instead, the Neo-Nazi was drawn after the Rabbi and the congregation’s children who embodied the innocence and goodness he was driven to destroy.
The Neo-Nazi stopped in the lobby and opened fire on Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein and the children…
[The stories told by Greenfield here of the brave people who shielded the Rabbi and the children is moving and makes me proud of my fellow citizens.]
The attack on Chabad of Poway did not happen in a vacuum. The Chassidic Jewish group has been a mecca for anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, including claims that they served as the interface between Putin and Trump. That claim didn’t appear in some fringe publication, but in a popular Politico article.
The quiet city where a Neo-Nazi gunman opened fire is over 2,700 miles away from the headquarters of the New York Times and Politico, but anti-Semitic conspiracy theories have a ubiquitous appeal for socialist fanatics, whether their role model is Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin. The events thousands of miles apart showed how compelling anti-Semitism is for the urban newspaper editor and the deranged thug, for their shared dreams of a racial war that will fracture America into the broken horror of their utopia.
To Politico and to the gunman, a small synagogue in a small city was an outpost of the hidden empire of the Jewish conspiracy. To the alt-left media, a Chabad Rabbi might be the hidden link between Republicans and Moscow. To alt-righters like Earnest, it was a chain in a conspiracy of usury and war. To the New York Times, Politico and the Neo-Nazi killer, President Trump was just a dupe of the Jews.
The New York Times wants people to believe that there would be peace in the Middle East if it weren’t for the Jews. Politico wanted its readers to believe that Trump would be in jail if it weren’t for the Jews. And John Earnest believed that he would have a girlfriend and a satisfying life if it weren’t for the Jews.
Anti-Semitism is the last refuge of cowards. It’s the laziest hatred that requires the least creativity. The alt-left revived anti-Semitism as anti-Zionism. The alt-right dressed it up in hipster irony, in anime and video game references. But all they’ve done is slap a little fresh paint on a beat-up old car.
John Earnest was a coward. Not just because he ran when his weapon jammed and he feared facing down the grandparents and parents of the children he had just tried to murder without a gun in hand…
“You know, with the loss of my index finger, it’s going to be a scar for the rest of my life – to both – to remind us of literally how vulnerable we are, but also how brave we need to be. Everyone needs to be a hero. Everyone needs to step up and do something in the face of terror,” Rabbi Goldstein said.
A meaningful life is made up of bravery built on vulnerability.
Victimhood culture tells its victims that their vulnerability is a crime committed against them by a conspiracy of Jews, infidels, or racists that must be met with grievance and violence. Like Earnest, they believe that they are doomed. Their only salvation can come from destroying the lives of others.
And that is cowardice…
Other peoples, including, most recently Christians in Sri Lanka, can be substituted for Jews.
No amount of dead Jews would have saved Earnest from seeing the emptiness in the mirror. Just as no amount of dead Israelis will reconcile the contradictions of Islam and rebuild the Caliphate. Hitler and Stalin couldn’t make socialism work no matter how many Jews they killed. And no matter how many Jewish children he drowned, an ancient Pharaoh could never escape the fact that he wasn’t a god.
The Jews whom John Earnest came to kill had a secret. But it did not involve international finance, war or global conspiracies. It was a story of redemption for a man about to damn himself forever.
The end of Passover marks the splitting of the sea. As the waters parted, the Jewish slaves fled into the depths, expecting death, as the Egyptian armies closed on them. In the hall of Chabad of Poway, a few Jews fled, bleeding, with children in their arms, expecting death. Instead, miraculously, they were saved.
And Pharaoh watched, unbelieving, as suddenly a higher power made Its presence known in this world.
I included a lot of the article, but so much more is there that is worthwhile reading.

A story by one of my FB friends:
A WILBUR ROSS STORY
Years ago I was living in the Dakota in a 9 room 9th floor apt with fireplaces, high ceilings (and a kitchen still in its 19th century splendor, complete with chute for disposing of coal clinkers). The apartment was dirt cheap at the time.
But the slate roof on that multiple level, mansard and peaked roof, was falling apart. And the Landmark Commission wouldn’t allow anything but a multimillion dollar restoration… the costs to be spread around the coop owners.
We couldn’t afford it. We were going to have to sell. The roof allotment came to more than what we’d paid for our apt.
Wilbur was President of the Board. I told him our plight; “I’m a publisher, not some Wall Streeter” and he laughed. “Don’t worry about it.” he said. “We are going to fix it, and dirt cheap.”
Could we count on it? What if he was wrong?
Well he was right. Wilbur found some verdigris colored roof sealer that was used in Paris, and it seeped into every crevice and sealed that roof tight as well as stabilizing the loose slates. It cost a fraction of what we feared.
So I trust Wilbur. He is in a class by himself.

Not really knowing much about Ross, I just now looked him up and read the Wiki version of his life and businesses. Ross and President Trump have known each other for 40 years, though no indication of whether they were more than business acquaintances. Ross was also a lifelong Democrat, changing his party to Republican in 2016.
There is lots of innuendo about questionable practices in the article. I took it all with a grain of salt since he’s not been indicted, convicted and put in the slammer. Skepticism is warranted since Wiki allows articles to be published anonymously.
It would be more fair if Wiki REQUIRED all contribution authors and those who update to be listed so those persons could be investigated to determine whether they have political, religious or bias otherwise. Being able to wield an axe anonymously reeks of leftism.
I did find this paragraph very interesting…”Ross owns an art collection valued at $150 million that includes pieces ranging from Western surrealists to contemporary Eastern sculptures.[94] Ross owns 25 works by René Magritte, valued at $100 million, including some of the artist’s most valuable paintings, such as The Pilgrim.”

In the late seventies there was a nurse from our parish who was very active in the newly formed right to life movement. She told a story about a very young man who was gravely injured in a motorcycle accident. Se was pretty sure he could not live, and she let the doctors talk her into convincing the parents to donate his organs, and she really regretted it. As she said, only God knew that outcome and should have been the one to make that choice.

Clarice F commented on Facebook about the takeover at the military airbase:
Yeah–soon they won’t be able to helicopter Maduro out. This is obviously a well-coordinated operation..not something Obama or Carter or Clinton could pull off.

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.

A prayer for Justice Kavanaugh and Col. Flynn:
Prayer to St. Michael
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do you, O prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits
who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
