The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
2) Be kind, be nice. Or don't get caught.
3) Running with sharp objects is no way to impress the one you want to.
4) Have a great weekend!
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests:
1/31 – George V asked for prayers for his wife. She needs a heart valve replacement but first needs a heart cath to assess the valve and determine the replacement procedure and perhaps put stents in the coronary arteries that may be partially blocked. Also, the preliminary CT scan of her heart showed spots on her lungs that may be cancerous.
2/21 Update – The prayers are working. Thanks be to God and everyone who prayed. The heart cath showed no blockages in her arteries. The heart valve procedure will be in about 4 weeks. The pulmonologist said the lung spots have a very low chance of being cancerous, but a second scan will tell for sure. So far good news, and thanks to all who prayed for her. 2/19 – mindful webworker requested prayers for his wife. Milady Jo will be having surgery on 2/26. It should be outpatient, and then a couple of weeks of recovery. Prayers are welcome for her, her surgeon, and her hapless husband while she’s down.
2/26 Update – The surgery is for Respiratory Epithelial Adenomatoid Hamartomak (REAH) – basically a blocked up nose. It’s relatively rare. It took a while to find an ENT whose diagnosis and surgical recommendation gave confidence. The surgery should improve her life greatly. It is scheduled for 1 pm.
2/28 Update – Thanks for the good thoughts and prayers for MiladyJo’s surgery. It took about 4 hours and seems to have been completely successful. There has been a great improvement in breathing and even appearance. She said that, after years of waiting, it seems like a dream, and that she knows with family, friends, and Morons and ‘Ettes, she is much loved. 2/20 – Gouveneur Morris requested prayers for herself as she has surgery scheduled for 2/27 for spondylolisthesis.
3/5 Update - Gouveneur Morris’ surgery was successful – every prayer and thought directed her way is appreciated. 2/21 - Skip asked for prayers for his sister and her two children, as they grieve their husband/father. The memorial service was on 2/21. 2/21 – Vmom deport deport deport asked for prayers for Gerry and Cathy, the elderly parents of her co-worker, B. Gerry and Cathy are in failing health, and B is bravely trying to keep them cared for and independent while also being a mom to her own kids. 2/21 – San Franpsycho requested a prayer for complete and immediate healing for PS, his oldest living relative, who is back in the hospital due to post-surgery fever and possible pneumonia. 2/21 – Sock Monkey asked for prayers of comfort and peace for Rickb223, who recently lost his wife to cancer. It was apparently a long battle and he was her primary caregiver. He is struggling. Please pray for him. 2/25 – LinusVanPelt posted a request for prayers for himself. He had a health scare and it’s freaking him out a bit. He had a real thing happen, and then received a clean bill of health, but has 2 more doctors to see. He can’t stop irrationally worrying that they’re going to say bad stuff (despite the real reason for the visits is to adjust medication levels).
2/28 Update – He woke up in a hospital ICU recently. Everything checked out, and it was a stress-induced incident, but that means he needs to make changes in his professional life. He is looking for the Lord’s guidance. 2/25 – Teresa in Fort Worth posted that she might need some prayers. Her PET scan was less than encouraging. She will have more information on 2/26.
2/27 Update – The newest chemo protocol appears to be working. Her cancer markers are below the “cancerous” range. So for now they will continue with 2 weeks of continuous medication delivered directly into the Hepatic Artery and 2 weeks off. Unfortunately, one of the meds is a low dose of steroids, so her appetite and her Zepbound are currently duking it out. 2/25 – Robert posted that he needed an ‘Ette to kindly bash his brains in. He is suffering yet another massive gout flare up, and needs someone to end it all for him. He asks for an ‘Ette because he knows women are capable of inflicting great violence with only love in their hearts. 2/26 – Farmer could use some prayers. A biopsy is scheduled soon. The dentist said he found a couple of suspect spots. After having had prostate cancer, anything like this really alarms him. 2/26 – Bluebell passed along news from winger: “Tomorrow (2/27) I go in for an all day marathon of tests and consultations. Then Monday (3/2) they will attempt the surgery. It is quite complex and they are not exactly sure they can do it. If they can, it will be a ten hour procedure. I confess to being a little apprehensive. The Rev is a little overwhelmed poor soul. Fortunately my two kids have me covered. My daughter the nurse for the medical side, and my son for the spiritual side. He has been a rock.”
3/10 Update – GrammieWinger’s son said she wanted us to know that she had surgery last Monday, and they were able to get most of the cancer, but they had to remove her colon. It’ll be a long recovery time, but she’s in good spirits and good hands. Grammie’s daughter has been at the hospital every day. Grammie Winger is very thankful for all of your prayers and she looks forward to talking with us soon! 2/27 – turambar posted that his/her mom had surgery for a broken left hip. Lots of pins and a rod were required to fix her up. She is in recovery now and doing okay, but she has a long road ahead since she is 86 years old. Thanks for your prayers; turambar appreciated them so much. 2/28 – 2009Refugee asked for prayers for an older sister who was scheduled for brain surgery on 3/4. 2/28 – no one of any consequence requested prayers for the repose of his oldest friend, who died on 2/22. His friend had returned to the church in recent years. No one of any consequence will be giving the eulogy at his memorial mass. 2/28 – San Franpsycho asked for prayers for P’nina Bat Surel, who remains hospitalized and still is not stabilized. 2/28 – Fenelon Spoke asked for prayers for a friend, P, who is dealing with a pinched nerve and has to have surgery in a week or so. She also has a daughter, K, who just got out of the hospital having had major mental health problems. 2/28 – LinusVanPelt requested prayers for our troops, President Trump, and for Israel’s government and the IDF as well. 2/28 – Sock Monkey requests prayers for Mrs. Sock. She crashed and burned pretty hard while skiing Thursday. She went to work very sore and using a cane. 2/28 – JJ posted that his wife was discharged from her rehab facility and her prognosis post shunt surgery to regain strength and physical abilities is excellent. 3/2 – RickZ posted that he received bad news. He went to the ER with muscle pain and came out with a cancer diagnosis. He could use prayers for an extremely capable oncological team of cancer specialists, and that God guides their hands and minds as they work to rid Rick of cancer. And also that God would provide him peace and calm, and to help sustain him through this trial. 3/5 – Inogame posted the good news that baby #5 arrived! Baby was overdue by 12 days. Mom and baby are doing well. Baby was 9 pounds 8 ounces, and 21.5 inches long. 3/5 – IrishEI has learned that she needs major surgery on 3/16, and she would really appreciate prayers. 3/7 – Uncle Slayton posted the good news that his son-in-law, Kenny, is almost 3 years cancer-free. He beat lymphoma and leukemia, and Uncle Slayton wanted to thank everyone who prayed for him. 3/7 – Joe Kidd sent an update on a previous prayer, for a young girl named Jasmine. She is the adopted daughter of a friend of a friend. She had been rescued from abuse, but was withdrawn, etc. The friend took the family on an RV trip, and with lots of TLC for Jasmine, things have improved. It appears that God has surrounded this young girl with an army of angels, and your prayers for her are being heard. May those listed here and whispered elsewhere receive similar affirmation. 3/7 – vmom deport deport deport requested prayers for GB, the husband of her friend; he just had a quadruple bypass a couple of days ago, following a heart attack. 3/10 – Warai-otoko asked for prayers for a sister-in-law with some respiratory issues, who just took a hard turn for the worse. Thanks to everyone, even if you just take a fraction of a second for it. 3/10 – Update on Susan, who we have been praying for as she battles cancer. She is hospitalized again with an infection in her colon that quickly turned bad. The doctor says the signs are sepsis but they are running tests to make sure. The good news is that the pancreatic cancer was and is responding to the chemo and her cancer numbers are going down. God bless and thank you!
3/19 Update – Susan is still in the hospital, but she is doing 100% better. The doctors are not ready to release her yet, but everything is going in the right direction. They keep saying “maybe tomorrow”. 3/11 – Bulg sends a prayer of thanks. He called his formerly estranged sister on her birthday, and they had a wonderful conversation. It was their second conversation since February, and there was no animosity at all. 3/11 – Doof sent his appreciation for the Horde’s prayers for his mom, who has been in post-hospitalization rehab since mid-January. She has recovered from her illnesses, but her body seems to be increasingly giving up on her. PT has become too painful and exhausting for her. She is also having increased brain fog and is rapidly losing the ability to do things like answer her phone or send texts. Continued prayers requested for her, as she is very sad, and also for Doof and his sister as they figure out what’s next.
3/16 Update – Doof’s mother is not doing very well. Her 100 days of post-hospital rehab will be ending soon, and she is not nearly recovered enough to live alone. She’s almost completely confined to bed. She will be moved to long-term care soon, and will likely be there for the rest of her life. They appreciate the prayers. 3/14 – Retired Buckeye Cop asks for prayers for Mrs. Cop’s cousin, “A.B”. He has been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. He is a retired police officer who was hit by a car years ago. He attempted to deal with the pain by self-medicating with too much Tylenol, which ended up poisoning his liver. His only alternative is a liver transplant, but he is uncertain if he wants to have surgery. 3/18 – TecumsehTea requests prayers, as her husband was fired from a job he enjoyed very much on 3/17. Prayers are needed for peace, direction, and clarity. They trust God will provide the right job at the right time, and that He would give them peace in the waiting. TecumsehTea is still dealing with the effects of her heart attack last July. Prayers for healing, as her BP continues to be unstable. Chronic Lyme disease and autoimmune disease complicates everything. She trusts that God is faithful and good and He will take care of their needs. For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

Aside from washing and spray-waxing the Buick, so it'll look good (for a day or so until the pollen turns it into a dust heap again), and buying some more dry food for the cats, I'm pretty much at loose ends today. Maybe I'll nip out to a coffee shop for a latte or something.

Yes. Someone has told me that research needs an advanced degree. Thanks. His last job was connected with horticulture labor related to research, but it ended several months ago- not to any fault of his-it just was a timed job and while looking he has been collecting unemployment.

I would like to request prayers for my son who has been sending out loads of resumes, but hasnt gotten a job offer yet ( Didn't get around to sending it in to Annie yet: Sorry!) His major was horticulture and he would ideally like something related to research but he's certainly is willing to -and has done labor ourdoors.

Many things in life are a Catch 22 - You cannot get none unless you are getting some!
This case - always easier to get a job if you have a job (and desire a better one).
Go to Manpower, or any other temp agency, or headhunters.
Take anything, then look for anything better and work to move up.

Fenelon, if nothing else, it seems like nurseries and orchards would be hiring right now. It might not be what he wants, but it would have to better than unemployment, and could lead to something permanent.

47 Yes. Someone has told me that research needs an advanced degree. Thanks. His last job was connected with horticulture labor related to research, but it ended several months ago- not to any fault of his-it just was a timed job and while looking he has been collecting unemployment.

I just mention this b/c his field (and all bio science type fields) is overstuffed with laid off feds with masters level degrees and years+ of experience, so he's unlikely to be able to break in, especially on the east coast...too many people fighting for too few jobs. The feds didn't really leave this area.
So, he may need to bide his time. And while doing so, he doesn't want to let his resume turn stale, especially as he's so young. He wants to be doing, even if he's not paid for doing. Collecting certs or licenses and training, collecting good employment recs, even in fields that aren't his.

Maybe he can go in person to various garden / park related centers and ask?
It is spring, they must need manpower.
Maybe print up a few simple "calling cards" to hand over.

My idea for Fenson is to contact nearby senior centers or senior living places and get himself a once a week volunteer gig. They may have something he is needed for or he can offer a weekly gardening activity or horticulture activity, flower arranging, bonsai clippings, mini succulent bowls...they will pay for materials and the old people will love to have a young face around.

my one guy will be staying up north this summer to work. he tried really hard to find an internship down here, or really anywhere else, so I'm sad we won't see him for a long while. it's good overall tho. might be best for him to stay up there after college anyway.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has a message for our GOP Senators.
“If you cannot do your JOB in the Senate and get voter ID and proof of citizenship passed, you should find a DIFFERENT JOB!”
Posted by: r hennigantx
I heard an Anna Paulina Luna interview on the radio the other day. She has a touch of "up talk" in how how she speaks.
After seeing a gazillion pics of her in military uniform, business attire, and bikinis I had no clue what she would sound.

Read a lengthy post yesterday on Iran by a non-military person just trying to sort out the news.
My take away of that analysis is the biggest factor in Iran's favor is they organized their IRGC divisions (~40) to operate independent of central command if they lose C3.
IOW, it looks like they are popping off in all directions because they are by design. This would make it hard to occupy them... not that anyone wants to.
This actually backfired on them as while attacked by countries 'A' and 'B', the disjointed divisions respond by attacking countries 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F'....

Thanks for asking, VMom. He did apply for unemployment. Well, most of the way. He has to go to the post office so they can verify his ID as we have cheap phones that aren't sufficient to the task, I guess.
I don't want to say he's dispirited, but he's still really struggling that at this point in his career (45+years) he made that kind of an error. I'm not making excuses for him, it just seems that outright termination was a bit much. But, big corp, safety is primary, I get all that. It's hard to see someone who has worked so hard have it all disappear just like that.

For those of you who have followed the insane daytime drama that is my life, there is shocking news: My daughter has scheduled the baptism of her children in the Church.
Could have knocked me over with a feather.
She remains estranged, but my wife is painstakingly nudging her back to it, patiently listening to her quotes from the Holy Prophet ChatGPT and offering qualified agreement and gentle correction where appropriate. She is doing what I cannot: explain the Church from the Wiccan/Astrology/New Age perspective that she formerly had. She speaks that language and is showing that all of those things are from God, not independent or part of some other power source.
Your prayers have been effective! Please continue them!

Fen,
Has your son considered starting his own landscaping design maintenance small usiness? As someone said earkier, collect some certs, volunteer at an assisted kiving center with a (small) colorful potted plant class that could go in their rooms.
for the small usiness, start small, go to a county parole office and ask how to get on their list of small businesses availa le to hire non-violent parolees. your church, can also be part of that new parole environment as well. this is something I've thougjt about doing at retirement myself if I'm still healthy enough to do so.

Their assumption was that we would invade them as we did Iraq and Afghanistan. What they did not count on was that we would simply blockade their economy while systematically destroying their leadership. Those isolated cells will eventually run out of ammunition, and when it becomes clear that the US can maintain this state of affairs indefinitely, morale will collapse.
Also important: Iran is far more politically mature than any of the Arab states. It has an ancient culture that has proven itself capable of self-rule. There is no need to install a "strongman" in Iran because it posses a knowledge of institutions that makes a limited monarchy feasible and they can do it by themselves.

The key element in all these suggestions is that he get a job, any job. I worked in a photography studio for a while, then on a few campaigns, unloaded trucks, stamped widgets, did polling, telemarketing and lawyer referrals.
When you present a resume that shows all that, the employer sees that you want to work. Later on, for space reasons you can drop the menial crap, focusing on relevant skills, but as others said: want a job? Get a job.

Absolutely! It's not just paternal/maternal, it's that each one of us have different relationships with our kids. Oldest and youngest go to Mom first, but middle kid seeks me out. It's funny because my phone will go off and if I can't get to it, my wife's immediately rings. She is the one in the Guard, so I'm the SME she needs much of the time.
Only two drills left for her. Finishes in May.

Kilometers, but still over 2,000 miles away, which we believe is their longest range ballistic missile.

Fen, I will pray for Fenson - having known what an exceptional young man he is - I told him it was good to use me as a reference, and I gave him my updated contact.
I wish my company was closer to where he is and that we had room for him with us but our operations are just too far from here to be helpful. But I will keep on the lookout for opportunities for him.

that at this point in his career (45+years) he made that kind of an error. I'm not making excuses for him, it just seems that outright termination was a bit much.
Posted by: TecumsehTea
He had what he thought was a good relationship with his employer and then they broke up with him- that's probably what it feels like.
IMO don't make excuses for the employer. Eff them. They threw away a longtime good worker at the first opportunity. Did they think he was getting old? Was his payrate getting too high? There are all sorts of possible reasons.
Consider looking (on your own) for a lawyer through the public service agencies.
If the employer disputes UE, he will need one.

Maybe a better topic for a Sunday thread, but this article hints at Dems increasing their outreach to Christians. They've always had a handful of "Christians" in the past, but are making a push now?
3 Democratic pastors in Iowa are running for Congress, a snapshot of a national trend.
After years of white Christians overwhelmingly supporting Republican Donald Trump, a striking number of clergy are currently running for political office as Democrats. While James Talarico, a 36-year-old Presbyterian seminarian who recently won his Texas primary for U.S. Senate, has gained national attention, he's hardly the only progressive candidate with a theological education this midterm season.
Democrats' next challenge is to figure out how to talk about faith for the long haul in a party that's more religiously diverse than Republicans and has a greater number of voters who aren't religious at all.
Democrats now see glossing over religious differences isn’t the answer. “That left a vacuum that the religious right has filled. And there are a lot of people now realizing that it is really important to speak about these issues from the perspective of faith and claim their faith."

I can see bitter-enders breaking up into terror cells, but the parallel is imprecise because by 1945, the American people were sick of war. We had crushed the Nazis, and had pounded the Japanese to the point where cutting a deal seemed better than losing a million casualties, hence use The Bombs.
Iran's situation is radically different. We can blockade from a distance, and I think it's (darkly) hilarious that an F-35 *finally* may have caught a million-dollar bullet and this is some sort of "win" for Iran. Sure, Jan.
I'm pretty sure arms are already being delivered to interested parties and as the IRGC is broken down into smaller cells, they will be unable to support each other in the face of local superiority.
A key development will be Trump pivoting to Cuba or even Greenland, waving the laser pointer so that the media forgets Iran and focuses on something else, wrecking the info op.

----------
IIRC that sort of range implies exoatmospheric reentry. Something that's pretty complex. Maybe Russia's helping Iran with crunching those type of numbers?
Firing off an IRBM "in the general direction" of the target isn't going to work... most of the time.

Towards.... not exactly precision targeting.
Posted by: man at March 21, 2026 09:26 AM (XuXeR)
I don't think most if any Iranian short-to-medium (intermediate) range missiles have mid-course guidance correction capability. I think they are essentially bigger SCUDs which are essentially German V2s in guidance systems. The process is to predetermine launch and target locations, best as you can. Calculate the distance and the needed launch azimuth (direction relative to true north), including Coriolis effect (rotation of the Earth while the missile is in flight). Align the launch platform reference line to true north. Set the missile's relatively simple on-board guidance system to keep the thing aligned with the pre-set azimuth and command engine shut-down time according to the range-to-target.
Launch!
In principle it's not much different than a person throwing a ball from right field to home plate. Both are on a ballistic trajectory. A person's brain computes the angle and velocity to release the ball to get it to the catcher. Shorter the distance, better the accuracy.

The Horde saved his life about 10 years ago when he was having heart trouble so I thought I'd let everyone know so they could pray for healing and provision for him.
On a positive note, his relationship with his daughter improved a lot after the Horde prayed about that and he's very grateful for that.

The Dems are becoming the meme: "No, I don't believe anything in that book, I think it's nonsense, but if I quote it to you, maybe you will do what I want."
They have such a stunted understanding of religious people that they think it is some sort of herd instinct because that is how they operate. All they have to do is send someone superficially similar to what they think we like, and we will sheepishly fall in line.
But that's been tried in the religious field for 30 years. It worked at first, but the project has completely failed and the new generations see it from a mile a way and are utterly unconvinced by it. These people simply cannot understand why young women are choosing to wear the veil again. No, you won't reach them by appeals to feminism.
The deeper dynamic is that young men are driving the trend and women will inevitably follow. It's just like college. Go where the guys are.

So now they're going to try to use religion, but of course after trashing it constantly, that dog isn't going to hunt because to survive the primary, you have to pledge allegiance to abortion up till and after birth and child mutilation.

The other day I was telling my wife how much I like to read First Things and then the current issue arrived. Oy. Some pretty bad takes in there, one of the worst being Helen Roy's review of Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can’t Be Fused with Christianity by Carrie Gress. I don't know Roy, but she very clearly is one of those people who thinks that we can somehow dial back the cultural clock to a particular year, say 1995 rather than do a full reset.
Gress' book is a blistering critique of feminism, pointing out that it was always going to end up with infanticide and the destruction of the family. One can't take the "good elements" out of it because the underpinning remains the same:
"Society was always flawed and needed fixing. Traditions are bad, traditional society is bad. But we don't need to change all of them! Just the ones I want."
It doesn't work that way. Embarrassing to read.

They have their ChatGPT Bible for Woke, a sycophantic "the bible says these thing because you want to believe it say those things."
It's like the illiterate con artist Mohammed buying a few scraps of scripture then trying to teach the rabbis his new "religion."
And getting angry at all Jews forever for daring to laugh at him.

Posted by: man at March 21, 2026 09:54 AM (XuXeR)
Yup. With such a guidance system, you can program the missile to hit the Israeli Defense Forces HQ, or the control tower at the big US airbase in the UAE, or a specific tanker docked in Kuwait. You'll hit something else 99.995% of the time. Maybe a few hundred yards away, maybe several miles away. There are lots of variables. Wind speed and direction in the upper atmosphere, precision of the missile guidance gyroscope package, actual engine thrust compared to specification thrust, time of actual engine shut-down, and more.

Iran has always been more bluster than actual capability. The “sleeper cell” storyline has been a popular scare story for 85 years now; first it was the fear of Nazi saboteurs in WW2, then it shifted to Soviet sleeper cells during the Cold War; and once they went away the stories became Muslim sleeper cells.
Now in fact there have been agents sent to cause harm, such as Mohammed Atta and his 9/11 crew. So these stories remain alive in the public consciousness; but for the most part they’re just public scaremongering.

Is there really such a thing as a "rocket scientist"? There are engineers that design test build the things, basically do all the stuff. And there are scientists that don't do stuff and instead think about things. I think that once a scientist actually does something they are kicked out of the science club and become engineers.

Democrats' next challenge is to figure out how to talk about faith for the long haul in a party that's more religiously diverse than Republicans and has a greater number of voters who aren't religious at all.
Democrats now see glossing over religious differences isn’t the answer. “That left a vacuum that the religious right has filled. And there are a lot of people now realizing that it is really important to speak about these issues from the perspective of faith and claim their faith."
Posted by: Intercepted Reddit Transmissions brought by the Intrepid AoS Liaison at March 21, 2026 09:31 AM (ycI94)
That approach is doomed to failure. Whatever sort of "Christianity" such a Lefty pastor/politician offers is -- at best -- merely a re-hashing of gnosticism: "Hey kids, with this neat trick [secret knowledge] we can have utopia." Um ... it doesn't work like that.
At worst, we see creatures like that demon-possessed dude down in Texas uttering blasphemies such as is would have been totes cool if Mary aborted Jesus.
Marxism is an inversion of Christianity: it purports to have compassion for the poor, but its practitioners must commit the Sins of Pride, Avarice, Envy and Wrath.

The women who argued, "I don't need to vote, I have a husband" had the right end of the argument.
Ann Barnhardt once said that, when only men had the vote, they were concerned not just with their own affairs, but how their choice would affect their own families.
And now we have husbands and wives negating each other's political choices out of existence because each is thinking only of their own preferences.
It's an argument with flaws, but I tend to support it. Of course, I also think universal suffrage was an even bigger mistake.

3. Europe. Has lost its way. If they don't find their way back, it's on them. See #1
4. Africa. Benign neglect. See #1
On #1, we have Venezuela, Greenland and soon Cuba
On #2, witness Japan's PM hugging Trump the other day
On #3, see Europe's open hostility to American interests in Iran. Europe has similar interests, but they fear their imported Muslims, which will be the death of them

He violated a safety rule that was punishable by " reprimand, suspension or termination"
This was his first error, but because he admitted that he bypassed the TOLO protocol they said it was termination. One and done.
So, for cause.

You've mentioned that he's done the same sort of work for 45 years. Perhaps this is an opportunity to re-invent himself.

Let's not leave out no-fault divorce, which destroyed marriage. At its core, feminism is Satanic because it desires to maximize 'freedom' and eliminate consequences from one's own poor judgement. Think of the massive growth of government - not just federal, but on the local level.
Family courts, CPS, Friend of the Court, the whole PPO nightmare, all because the core of society, the extended family rooted in community had to be swept away in the name of "freedom."
What is even worse is how completely wasteful an ineffective it all is. Did we eliminate spousal abuse? No, we've increased it. Have we made childhood happier? No, we've eliminated it. Have we made women happier? Hell no. Human are literally dying out. We want to kill babies, castrate children and have the state help us kill ourselves.
What level of fail do we need to achieve?

He's also 67. Had planned to work to 70 full time. He needs something to think about and to fix (at work). He's too old to reinvent himself.

"I think that once a scientist actually does something they are kicked out of the science club and become engineers."
I give you Robert Goddard, who had seminal ideas about rocketry and then built the damn things.
100 years ago just yesterday he launched the first liquid-fueled rocket on his quest to put rockets into space.
The New York Times wrote an editorial at the time: "Silly rabbit! It won't work in a vacuum!" Not understanding his papers that showed that it would.
You have to call Goddard the Grandfather of Rocketry because he never got proper funding in the US. The Father was Dr Strangleove -- Werner von Braun -- creator of the V2, who wrote a book "I aim for the stars" One review replied "But you mostly hit London."

Some of this discussion reminds me of a broadway musical that my wife and kid saw. Dead Outlaw
They loved it. The premise was the real life story of a guy, a known outlaw in the early 1900s that was killed and his corpse became a traveling sideshow attraction. Carnivals, wax museums, parks, up until he was finally buried in 1977. It goes into all the show managers who bought and sold him and fought over getting him in their acts.
I thought it was a neat idea for a show.

Also, some of the same nurseries also do cloning, and that is real bench-work.d
Don't just apply with nurseries, also try out the companies that do orchards, cherry and apple growers, for example, will change over their trees to varieties they see as being more saleable, and they graft those in the field using chainsaws, heavy knives and hammers,
Right now, here, the filbert growers are pruning their trees.

Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd

We never needed no-fault as a correction for abuse, that's always been grounds for divorce. In my parent's case, in 1948. But we do need a mechanism to allow the correction of mistakes in everything, including marriage, but we also.need negative feedback, which no-fault doesn't provide.
How about spousal support payments, defined legislatively. Her career is more important than her marriage? Buy your way out.

Another old Oregonian heard from. " Filberts", instead of "hazelnuts". Even the old line growers have given up. Even 3 years ago, traveling down 18 to the coast, I noticed that orchard signs no longer read "Filberts".

“I know my husband. He needs a job. He's a problem solver, analytical thinker who needs something for his brain to do. We need the income.

Although this won’t help much, when you said your husband was 67 it clicked “oh of course that’s why they fired him!” Corporations hate older employees, they view them as liabilities and jump at any opportunity to get rid of them.

Tom Servo, I hate to think that's true.
It might be. Like I said, not any part of this was decided here at this plant, it was all HQ. So maybe you're right.
A couple of people have wondered if this might be the case.

I've always said the answer to the no-fault divorce problem was simple: keep it, but whoever initiates a no-fault divorce gets nothing. No alimony, no custody. You want to break up family? Cool, now go forth and live your awesome life without that encumbrance or its attendant benefits, you dirty whore.
Back when I worked in politics, there was a bill up to make everything default to even split in a no-fault.
The divorce lawyer's lobbyist came to the committee hearing and bluntly stated the following: "in CO, two-thirds of divorces are initiated by women, because the law is so lopsided in their favor. We don't care who the system is rigged to favor, as long as it favors someone, because equitable laws would mean a drastic reduction in divorce. Everyone on this committee should understand that if this bill makes it to the floor, then none of you are getting reelected. We'll make sure of that."

Suggestion for FENSON ... Maybe volunteer for a local Habitat for Humanity project, especially if the property needs lawn or landscaping rehabilitation ... Volunteering at a ReStore might also results in new skills and/or connections for a paying job.

If you're in the position to, invest in filberts, or land they can grow on. Nutella is the world's biggest consumer of them by far, and they have expressed a nearly estrus-like desire to buy American filberts that don't exist yet. They are sick of their unreliable Turkish producers and their slovenly Muslim agricultural methods.

Elon this morning announced that he is offering to cover the salaries of TSA agents to get airports opened for everyone. That would be about 150M a week. I would assume he would be reimbursed when (or if) the democrats ever back down. But I don't know.

Kentucky did pass a law mandating joint custody of the children as the default outcome, removing the need for child support.
Divorce rates have plummeted.

Another suggestion for FENSON ... Contact organizers of local farmers markets, which will soon be starting their 2026 season ... Also, visit the market events themselves, to ask if they need any help with their gardening business.

An absolutely excruciating moment at the Georgia Supreme Court this week.
Justice Peterson pressed state attorney Deborah Leslie over her citations to cases that apparently don’t exist.

Awful. We just set an in-house rule that all cases cited by co-counsel must be shepardized before joining - no relying on others (even on our side) to do the work.

I remember a time, long ago, when there was no TSA and the airplanes still flew.
Maybe try that?

Thoughts for FENSON. Connect with the dean of his college major and ask for advice. The dean probably has contacts in the field. Also, timber companies do a lot of work in his field.
Praying for an awesome outcome!
