    Anyone else get the feeling that things were not as they should be this election cycle. I notice the almost total silence on this from our R leadership accross the Country. At first, I attributed it to ignorance and apathy (they didn’t know and they didn’t care), but I’m hearing more that things are rumbling underfoot. I guess we’ll see, but we’re not alone in these feelings.

      I cannot be unbiased here T, and I’m talking without my usual propensity toward sarcasm. We admins saw so many thousands of comments after the 2020 stolen election saying “trust the plan.”

      There was no plan, that was some Q anon bull. I have hopes that in Talarico’s numbers alone they massively outed themselves. But trusting Republicans is not supported by logic, in my opinion.

          The spiritual aspect of it…who is the “god” of the DSA, the world communistic order, and Islam. Why, none other than the god of the underworld. He is the author of evil, disloyalty, deception, immorality, murder, and every sin under the sun.

          A few days ago after the debacle of November 3rd I looked up what St. Augustine had to say on prayer. Surprisingly he didn’t publish much beyond the most profound dialogue in a letter he wrote to a Roman noblewoman named Anicia Proba, a widow who became a refugee after the sack of Rome in 410AD by the Visigoths. She and her granddaughter were able to flee to Africa where they met Augustine.

          Reading the English translation of this letter is a most humbling experience. Augustine’s words and Biblical references still show us the path to communication with God, the epitome of which is The Lord’s Prayer.

          “When we say: Deliver us from evil, we admonish ourselves to consider that we are not yet enjoying that good estate in which we shall experience no evil. And this petition, which stands last in the Lord’s Prayer, is so comprehensive that a Christian, in whatsoever affliction he be placed, may in using it give utterance to his groans and find vent for his tears — may begin with this petition, go on with it, and with it conclude his prayer. For it was necessary that by the use of these words the things which they signify should be kept before our memory.”

        Good morning, Menagerie!

        Trusting without some substantial basis in fact is folly. And you are not given to foolishness.

      I agree. Nothing about this election makes sense at all. That mess in Alaska is so obvious and yet it appears that it is going to get ignored. And, the fact that the whole country went blue makes no sense. I am not convinced that the republicans were not in on it or at least stood by and watch it happen. There are so many traitors in our government I don’t know if we can recover.

      Good afternoon, Czarina,

      I’ll take all, including the last. Greater awareness of atypical or “walking pneumonia” is needed. It’s a sneaky bugger.

      Good day, Czarina! Building a beautiful pizza with sausage, pepperoni, bell peppers and extra cheese is about as exotic as I get. I don’t remember partaking of French dips, though.

      Although “Chicken Soup for the Soul” has been around for many years, I’ve never read it entirely, just quotes.

      A lot of folks ignore signs which may indicate it’s pneumonia and not just the flu or a cold causing physical distress.

      AI says…Recognizing pneumonia cues is crucial for timely treatment.

      • Cough — A persistent cough, which may produce phlegm, is common in pneumonia cases.
      • Shortness of Breath — Difficulty breathing or rapid breathing can signal pneumonia’s severity.
      • Chest Pain — Pain in the chest, especially when coughing or breathing deeply, is a significant indicator.
      • Fatigue — General tiredness and weakness can accompany other symptoms, reflecting the body’s response to infection.

    Mornin’ All. It was in the 30′ last night, but is back up into the 40’s already and sunny. It evidently rained a little last night, too.

    The tree outside my window had turned yellow finally and was beautiful. Now most of the leaves have fallen off and I’m glad. Last year they turned black and hung on all winter. It was pretty ugly.

    Hope you all have a great day and keep praying.

      Mornin’ mom! Rain here last night too, and it’s in the 40’s. Winter is almost here! My lawn crew removed all the leaves in my yard on Monday and put them at the curb for removal, which the city removed on Tuesday. A bit pricey, but worth it. I can’t do that any more.

      Some of the details, in snippets for educational purposes: It’s rooted in veganism and so called “green” initiatives.

      …whey still comes from cows, a fact increasingly seen as a liability for climate- and health-conscious dairy and protein lovers.

      https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-lab-dairy-synthetic-whey-protein-gmo-20190711-story.html

      “Ryan Pandya saw an opportunity in this consumer conundrum. He wants to be the first to market a non-animal whey protein through his Emeryville, Calif., company, Perfect Day. Like other food start-up founders, Pandya and business partner Perumal Gandhi are vegan. Rather than forgo the taste of real cheese and dairy for poor vegan substitutes, the pair decided to invent their own version of the real thing.

      But first, the company and others like it face some big hurdles: consumer squeamishness and regulatory reviews that may end up focusing more on the genetically modified organisms used to make lab-grown whey.

      Five years ago, Perfect Day joined the synthetic biology accelerator IndieBio as it searched for microbes that could be engineered to make functional milk proteins.

      Late last year, agriculture giant Archer Daniels Midland agreed to invest in Perfect Day as the start-up seeks to lower the cost of making whey.

      But there’s still branding to worry about. Few people like to eat something with “lab-grown” on the label, and vegans will probably steer clear of something labeled “milk protein.” As a result, Perfect Day wants to rebrand microbes used in food — yeast, fungi, bacteria — as “flora,” a more consumer-friendly term.”
