*****


Good morning boys, girls and everything in between. July is burning through as fast as Joe Biden changes adult diapers.

Before we enter the Prayer Revival, just a few housekeeping matters to address. (Rulz for those of you in Washburn)


*****

1) This is an open thread feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2) Be nice to one another and don't jump on the furniture.
3) Are you running with sharp objects. We don't know and we don't care.
4) Have a great weekend!!!!

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List

Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update.

Prayer Requests:

6/11 – Sponge’s wife, “The First Lady” has breast cancer, and the initial prognosis is good, as it is Stage 1 and caught early.
6/20 Update – The meeting with the surgeon was moderately frightening, as she ‘s been declared Stage 1B ,which means it’s a relatively aggressive form and can spread quickly.
6/28 Update – The blood test came negative on hereditary cancer markings, so that is good. They meet with the oncologist on 7/11 and surgery is scheduled for 7/22. Hopefully it will be just a lumpectomy and 5 days of radiation.

6/15 – Jewells posted that she has decided to end her cancer treatments. She had 6 months to go on her 2 year palliative care program, but the chemo drug is ruining her quality of life.
7/13 Update – Jewells posted that the new CT scan showed some growth of the cancer, but for not having treatments for 3 months, it wasn’t bad. She likes the new doctor, and they are figuring out next steps, but Jewells still does not want more chemo.

6/15 – Grumpy and Recalcitrant asked for continued prayers for J.J. Sefton of the Morning Report. He is about to begin chemo and radiation therapy.
7/13 – J.J. posted that he was halfway through the 6-week treatment phase. Aside from being fatigued, there were no serious side effects, thank goodness. He will be having regular MRIs to monitor for any recurrence. He said he cannot thank everyone enough for their kindnesses, prayers, and expressions of support. He also sends prayers for all who are suffering, for complete and speedy recovery.
7/17 Update – J.J. said he is about the same – fatigued, but powering through as best he can.

6/19 – DangerGirl lost the SanityProd requests prayers for her father, who was admitted to the hospital with respiratory issues. He’s been struggling for the past year, on and off, with shortness of breath and could use prayers for both healing and a proper diagnosis. (The doctors can’t figure out what is causing it.) Thank you!
6/27 Update – Dad is back home, on oxygen as needed and other meds. The doctor thinks it is an allergic reaction to something that is causing his bronchial tubes to spasm and create mucous, which results in low oxygen levels and breathing issues. Future plans include appointments with allergists and cleaning out the HVAC.

6/22 – Our country is screwed offered prayers of thanksgiving that their daughter, age 27, battling breast cancer, is on her last chemo treatment. She has tolerated it very well. She still will have surgery in August.

6/22 – Aetius451AD sent thanks to the Horde for the prayers, and thanks to God, for the healing of his dad after a heart attack and surgery. Dad is cleared for normal activity now.

6/22 – Tonypete requested prayers for Sandy, a friend from church who passed suddenly.

6/22 – Gushka asked for prayers for herself and for her husband’s soul. His body was found in the river. He had been missing since 12/8. The coroner is ruling it a suicide.

6/23 – Steck asked for prayers for a former co-worker named Allen. Before Allen was transferred back to his former job, Allen became cold and distant after hearing that Steck is a born again Christian. As a former atheist, Steck’s experience is that there’s often a nearby “support system” of fellow atheists. Please pray hard to bring Jesus into this fine man’s life, and into the lives of those around him and change their hearts as well.

6/25 – TP asked for prayers for JT, who is ill and in need of prayer.
7/13 Update – JT is in a rehab facility. No one has been able to speak with him, but prayers are still requested.

6/25 – Alberta Oil Peon posted that he has a lump of some sort impinging on one of his vocal cords. He is booked for surgery on 7/31.

6/26 – VM requested prayers for 2 co-workers. Mrs. C, who is hospitalized for an unspecified illness. And Mrs L, whose teen daughter is in the hospital for a seizure.

6/29 – Misanthropic Humanitarian asked for prayers for our local, state, and federal officials.

6/29 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her son’s university. They are facing financial difficulties. It is a small “farm school”, founded by a rabbi, and has a steady enrollment of students studying farm/dairy/animal science. Fenelon’s son was happy there, and the professors are good.

6/29 – Reforger is looking for a job. He quit after 6 years of being treated poorly.

6/29 – bluebell posted that she had the following message from BitterClinger: It is my most fervent prayer that those there that are struggling would find relief, that those that strive would find success, and that those that worry would find comfort, that those that are ill would find healing, and most of all that the truth of the Savior of the world, our Lord Jesus Christ, would live in the hearts of them all, throughout all trials and storms and in every jubilant and celebratory moment and even in the dull times. We shall see each other on the other side, and what a glorious time it will be, when our strivings cease and death and corruption is defeated.”

6/28 – Sal asked for prayers for Karen, age 11, who was recently diagnosed with leukemia. Her prognosis is good, but this is a big hurdle for a kid. Petitions for courage and patience would be great. Thank you!

6/29 – bluebell passed along a request from grammie winger, who asked for prayers for her husband, Rev, who is having open heart surgery on 7/8 to take care of his aortic aneurysm. Recovery time is expected to be 6-8 weeks.
7/13 Update - Rev’s surgery went well, and he was all set to come home. Then he developed a bowel obstruction.

7/6 – Miklos requested prayers for Old Mama, who at the age of almost 86, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, which has apparently already spread.
7/11 Update – Old Mama was discharged from the hospital today. This is one of the cases in which the cancer can be surgically removed, and arrangements are underway. Miklos sends his thanks.

7/6 – neverenoughcaffiene brought up prayers for lousagirl, whose husband passed away a few weeks ago.

7/6 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for Jessie, the former church organist, who was hospitalized with a UTI.
7/13 Update – Jessie is out of the hospital, but still is dehydrated and her UTI medication is was making her nauseous. She sends her thanks for the prayers, as does FenelonSpoke.

7/7 – mindful webworker was hospitalized again with intestinal issues. It was resolved without surgery.

7/8 – Tonypete’s friend’s granddaughter was in a severe car crash. She is gravely injured with massive head and leg injuries, and is in a coma. Prayers for her and for the rest of the family, including Tony’s friend Rudy, are appreciated.

7/11 – Stateless posted that he was at a low point, and could use some encouragement.

7/12 – AnnaS posted a request for prayers. Her husband was very sick.

7/13 – NR Pax asked for prayers for his mother-in-law, who was recently diagnosed with cancer. They have found a second mass, so she will be having another biopsy. Hopefully after that, surgery can be planned out.

7/13 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for a job for FenSon, as well as all the other recent college grads.

7/13 – Ruthless asked for prayers for an upcoming heart procedure on 7/23, to replace his aortic valve. It turned out that he had a birth defect that was never detected, but has caused some physical limitations over his 83 years, which were becoming worse.

7/13 – Someone Else requested prayers for Bull Dog of Maggie’s Farm ,who is going through the same thing that JJ Sefton is.

7/13 – Chris C, a loyal lurker (and prayer) requests prayers for his bride, Melanie, who was just diagnosed with breast cancer. She needs support as she is exhausted from caring for Chris and his 23 days in the hospital for a triple bypass that “went south”.

7/18 – Annie’s Stew sends prayers of thanks for God’s protection of President Trump.

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.

14 So this is hilarious. The NYT editorial board just published (today 7/20/24) the following about the unfitness of DJT. I read it - and it describes Biden perfectly:

"He lies blatantly and maliciously, embraces racists, abuses women and has a schoolyard bully’s instinct to target society’s most vulnerable. He has delighted in coarsening and polarizing the town square with ever more divisive and incendiary language. Mr. Trump is a man who craves validation and vindication, so much that he would prefer a hostile leader’s lies to his own intelligence agencies’ truths and would shake down a vulnerable ally for short-term political advantage. His handling of everything from routine affairs to major crises was undermined by his blundering combination of impulsiveness, insecurity and unstudied certainty."

18 And a special shout out to President Biden: Stay strong Sir. Don't let Obama and Pelosi bully you into quitting. You're not a quitter! They're just jealous of what you're going to accomplish in your second term!

Did you quit when you marched on the lunch counter in Selma with Beau and MLK Jr. No! Did you quit when you kicked Putin's butt behind the UN building in twenty aught dickety! NO! Stay strong, Mr. President. We need you!

Thank you for the prayers. I hope this not working crap is fixed Monday. We'll see. I really shouldn't have quit. I could go back but I can't swallow pride like that.
I am so happy that the wife realized I was stupid about 30 seconds after we met and plans accordingly.
I married a goddess of finance who can sqeeze dimes out of dirt.
Which is good because dirt is all I am worth sometimes.

Anyway. Morning Horde.

32 he would prefer a hostile leader’s lies to his own intelligence agencies’ truths

I think the usual process for writing editorials in the NYT is to take every single imaginable smear, a broad spectrum of generic smears that can be maliciously applied to anyone a person hates and doesn't let truth or decency be an impediment, and throws them into a shoe box, when the editor looks at some slacker and demands an article, the idiot reaches in, grabs one and then begins the act of creative writing.

This was either the mother of examples of Mimetic Double Bind, or was generated by a broken AI chatbot after listening/training to the NYT breakroom chatter.

35 Clown Strike Day Two.
I find darkly amusing that our Betters have ordered everyone never to use Kaspersky, because it's Russian; but to use CrowdStrike instead, the lying bastards who insinuated that Russia hacked the DNC, then harryreiding that away years later.
Now everything works in Russia and has failed in the "Free World".

36 Hate to be a debbie downer so early in the morning but ...

I'd ask for people to pray for my Aunt and Uncle. The former just passed away after battling her second round of glioblastoma (brain cancer). Her first bout was... 34 years ago. Her case was the protocol for which all treatments since then were based apparently. 18 months ago it came back and, well, she was a lot older. She still beat the tumors - they disappeared... but the side effects of the treatments, seizures. It was terrible. My uncle absolutely loves her like nothing else. He was a Delta captain, she was a flight attendant for 35 years. He is absolutely distraught and not sure how to get through life.
Then this week I found out that my old man had an MRI for some neurological issues he's been having since 2018 but have gotten worse. They found a benign tumor at the base of his skull that is causing a blood vessel to be pinched. It's also causing him vision issues. We have to wait until next month to see if its operable. I'm trying to be strong, "Ne Cede Malis" Never Surrender to Misfortune.

Thanks for the reminder you've a hidden music link. Eventually, maybe, I'll remember to look without a hint. Worked on your ONTs... eventually.

G'morn, Saturday Hordelings. Fooled Daisy this morning. I was up, washed, and dressed early, before she came to rouse me. A comfortable 68℉ for our morning walk. Light overcast; felt like it might rain a little. Hawks screeching, crows cawing, and those birds I wish I could identify twee-tweeing and chi-weeting. Daisy was a good dog, walking with me unleashed. A nice start for the day.

Ony cat just came up to remind me to mention her.

No coffee yet; I'll head back up and go through the prayer list, open my heart to the pains and joys.

50 Morning again, all! I'm back from my shave and shower, and feel relatively human now. I've nuked the last of the coffee and am sipping it.

The Killer Kittenz From Outer Space (that's JQ's spelling, but I like it) are doing well. Dagny La Siberienne is spending a *little* more time near me, and Stirling the great black cat curls up in my lap several times a day on the weekends and at least once on weeknights.

We have a 60% chance of rain today, so no car wash in the offing. But I want to clear up my grocery shopping this morning if I can. Miss Linda wants to visit the Dillard's outlet store in the far western suburbs -- but they don't open until noon, and I hate the idea of traveling in that midday heat.

I love Aldi's products and prices, but I wish they opened earlier than nine a.m.

53 Bets on when Dopey (technically, "Doctor Jill") finally agrees to hang it up? He (she) really needs to do it before the convention is seated next month to avoid even more public humiliation. Not that Dopey would even notice, I suppose, and it's clear that "Doctor Jill" is fine with letting him beshit himself in public, both metaphorically and literally.

She could probably just grab a Fisher Price telephone, spray paint it red, and set him up with a "president playhouse" in the back yard. Given that he sometimes thinks he's still a Senator, the Vice President, or Czar of All The Russias, perhaps more than one playhouse, depending on who he thinks he is that day.

54 I was struggling to describe the way the regime set up Trump's attempted murder, but then it hit me: this is exactly what crooked law enforcers did to Frank Serpico, just much more publicly. But no different in substance.

Then I thought more about that, and realized that his 1970s NYPD was just a small version of our regime. Pervasive corruption from bottom to top so severe that even the relatively "honest" men refuse to do anything about it, because addressing the problem would mean destroying their own organization completely.

So it's better just to kill anyone who tries to do it.

63 >>"He lies blatantly and maliciously, embraces racists, abuses women and has a schoolyard bully’s instinct to target society’s most vulnerable. He has delighted in coarsening and polarizing the town square with ever more divisive and incendiary language. Mr. Trump is a man who craves validation and vindication, so much that he would prefer a hostile leader’s lies to his own intelligence agencies’ truths and would shake down a vulnerable ally for short-term political advantage. His handling of everything from routine affairs to major crises was undermined by his blundering combination of impulsiveness, insecurity and unstudied certainty."

One can infer, now that they are all at DefCon 1 right now, trying to "nudge" them out with a coordinated media campaign different factions are vying for the top spot - or donor factions. The democrats are livid because they don't like their internecine squabbles to be so very public. Oops. Too late for that.

The airport has nothing to do with it. The Secret Service had a perimeter established. When did they establish the perimeter, and when did the antifa tranny fly his drone are the only questions.

One has to assume it was after crowd control was already established, which would mean SS had also established the perimeter.

The comical part is I can remember back in 2017 that the same folks were using drones to protect Trump.

Trump hopefully understands now that most of the pols, including GOP ones, got there by backstabbing, grandstanding, grifting, leaking, and overall prickish behavior that would never be tolerated for long in a well run business.

The progression is pretty obvious if you have been paying even minimal attention. In 2020, Bernie was surging because Trump's populism also stirred up the non-establishment left. Sanders was a goof, but his message resonated and he was a rallying point for authentic leftists who hated the corporatist party created by the Clintons and the Obamas. He may not have had the mojo to win, but he promised to take the primaries into the summer.

That's when Joe was picked as the consensus candidate, Obama Part II. Arms were twisted, bribes offered and *poof* Biden won. Then the tech overlords dragged him across the finish line.

They knew he was a drooling idiot but there was no one strong enough to face down RFK Jr. in a primary challenge. The solution: no primary.

Now they're paying the price. It's going to be an open convention with no committed delegates. The platform committee will be throwing pies at each other over Israel and we may actually see Antifa try its strength.

Economics is the dismal science that you can't always get what you want. History is the tragic science because you see Kipling's The Gods of the Copybook Headings poem in action over and over again. Societies show a remarkable problem-they don't ever admit that human nature is pretty unchangeable over time.

126 I am saddened to see that Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee has died. Her passing deprives the Democrat party of a strong black woman's unique understanding of democracy, climate science, and motivational speaking. On an unconnected side note, the Gloabal IQ rose a full 2 points overnight.

She was also very well versed in Democratic Wisdom about astrophysics and current state of the art in planetary exploration.

Kind of hard to forget. Crowdstrike is the only group that ever directly investigated the DNC server and concluded that the Russian's hacked it and that led to the release of the emails. The FBI never actually inspected the server, they relied entirely on the Crowdstrike report and from that the idea that Russia hacked the DNC to help Trump was created.

In the call Trump went on to strongly insinuate that sources in Ukraine were involved with setting up the Russia collusion hoax, which they were. Joe Biden was basically in charge of Ukraine at the time along with the CIA and FBI. Crowdstrike was part of Team Coup.

In the current issue of First Things there's a letter to the editor noting that modern economics has failed in part because it could never account for reproduction. That is to say, the ideal consumer never had children but spent every dollar on consumption. Kids always showed on the books as a net drag.

And now we're seeing the results of that mentality.

144 Researcher @tonySeruga has found that not only did the shooter fly his own drone over the site, but he was in and around the AGR buildings in the days prior, and had a 90 minute meeting with a person who drove from AZ, and immediately returned to AZ. This same person also met with the LV shooter just prior to his event. Tony labels him a retired special agent. Apparently he does this because he has access to cell phone tracking data.

The Biden junta insiders are keepers of other Dems secrets like Obama's down low behavior. I would bet that Hunter knows most of the Dems that frequent prostitutes or are extreme druggies. Washington is simply not that big of a place and resembles a town where everybody of substance knows everyone else and where the bodies are buried.

DC is a great place for gossipers, social climbers, immorality, and sociopaths; it is a horrible place if you are a decent human being.

206 Hi there! After Rev's open heart surgery, he developed a bowel obstruction. Then he was set (again) to go home, and wouldn't you know - he got Covid. So he's still in the hospital. Uff da. Thanks for asking.
Posted by: grammie winger - cheesehead at July 20, 2024 09:36 AM (SfhV1)


I suppose you are aware that the government-approved treatment for Covid is Remdesivir, which does not help at all and wrecks the patient's internal organs. The drug has a pretty high fatality rate and we have lost a couple of friends that way. One of our friends saved his dad's life by making a stink at the hospital until they took the dad off of Remdesivir. He was dying while on the drug and immediately began improving after they took him off.

At this point, I do not know if hospitals are still using Remdesivir, but a couple of years ago, hospitals would lose their Medicare/Medicaid reimbursements if they didn't give Remdesivir to Covid patients.

I'll pray for Rev's recovery.

Well worth a read, although you risk noticing things and you may even begin wondering to the point where you ask questions:

"The assertion now by Secret Service that local police in Butler PA were in charge of securing any part of the venue, is baffling to anyone who has worked in or with a White House advance team. That is not how anything related to Secret Security operates, to my knowledge. If the SOP has changed in the last 20 years, then US Secret Service procedures have dramatically deteriorated."

FDA has also approved Paxlovid, which doesn't help and wrecks your kidneys. On the bright side, a person doesn't need to see a doctor to get it -- just show up at the pharmacy and get tested. If you're positive, they'll give you Paxlovid.

Look for how long the fact that we were reading German Enigma messages to break out into common knowledge. Took about 30 years after WWII ended and a large number of people in responsible positions knew that. Justice John Paul Stevens was an Ultra courier during WWII for example.

The guy producing the ITV's World at War series knew about the real source of Ultra and Bletchley Park during WWII and kept it out of the series because of it was still covered in the UK by the Official Secrets Act which was dropped right about the time the series aired. Think Bodyguard of Lies was one of the first past the post histories that incorporated deception and Enigma tactics used in WWII.

Still worth reading nowadays as many of those espionage tactics of disinformation are used by teh Deep State in the US and West today on their own people instead of the Germans.

Does that sound right? Anyone can find out what guns I bought, and where I made the buys?

The story said that many were bought online, which of course to those that are willfully ignorant of gun laws, implies that any fool can buy an "assault weapon."

I did not read the piece, but wonder if it clearly laid out that many guns are sold via online transactions, but that every one of those involves the transfer be made by a licensed dealer with the NICS background check and photo ID protocol done.

Counterpoint: prisoner's dilemma.

It failed, and links are being made independent of the conspirators. They ruined the "killed himself in prison" gambit with Epstein, and now the shooter missed.

Even their voter fraud is in danger because minorities are switching sides bigly. The Israel thing will tear the Dems apart and there is no getting around that.

279 252 My bro said he read a USA Today piece that went into the gun buys the assassin's dad made.
The story said that many were bought online, which of course to those that are willfully ignorant of gun laws, implies that any fool can buy an "assault weapon."

I did not read the piece, but wonder if it clearly laid out that many guns are sold via online transactions, but that every one of those involves the transfer be made by a licensed dealer with the NICS background check and photo ID protocol done.
Posted by: Mr Gaga

My guess is that the dad talked to media or someone close to the family did about firearms ownership. The wannabe assassin/patsy went frequently to the local gun range and was on the shooting team in the local high school. So people talk.

And no, you cannot 'buy' a gun on the internet legally without having it shipped to an FFL and a C&R license is a limited purpose FFL for collecting btw without going through the nic check. That being said, in many states, a concealed carry license can substitute for the NICs check but the 4473 must be filled out.

280 I'm going to ask for prayers please.
My son has gone off the deep end again, and just got kicked out of the rehab he found after being kicked out of his last group home.
He started calling me at 6 this morning from a shelter 300 miles away, saying to come get him.
I can't. I can't take care of him, keep him on his psych meds, keep him in treatment, or live with the psychotic breaks.
He has shut off my main gas/electric before, because energy kills the planet.
He thinks my coffee pot shoots CIA lasers at him when he is in the grip of things.
He thinks if he can just get MIT to devote resources to magnetizing aluminum we can charge EVs directly through infused concrete roadways, or concentrate sunlight through water magnification to create renewable lasers to do the same.
And then he can retire on the proceeds unless the CIA steals his ideas again.
Please pray for him to accept the services where he is, and to accept that he needs to cooperate with help wherever he is.
Please pray for me to last until Monday, when mental health services come back online again for the work week, so I can try to plug him in to some real help that doesn't involve me being badgered to enable him.

"Those NGOs are bringing people into the country, registering them at soup kitchens, empty buildings, strip malls and scores of ballot collection locations.

Last week we published one, of thousands of emails, witnessing hundreds of non-persons at a food bank. Those people are gone - their mail-in ballots are 91 days away!

The number now exceeds 500,000 each in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Georgia. The number exceeds 400,000 each in Arizona, Nevada."

Lots of NGOs and foreign money pumping out the (often fake) "voters" so they can produce ballots in the Dem run centers of ballot production. Poll watchers won't matter because the ballots will be produced without real voters.

Or maybe their research is wrong, I hope.

320 New York Times continues to ratchet up the pressure on Biden:

Joe Biden’s advisers believe the United States president does not want to bow out of the November election before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s trip to Washington this week, as Biden is unwilling to give Netanyahu “the satisfaction” given the two leaders’ tensions over the war in Gaza, The New York Times reported on Friday.

The report, citing several unnamed people close to Biden, came after the Axios news site on Friday cited top Democrats as saying Biden had resigned himself to the pressure on him to quit, and could bow out as soon as this weekend.

But advisers say that Netanyahu’s impending visit could draw out the process of Biden pulling out of the race, with the president unwilling to give Netanyahu the satisfaction, given their strained relations lately over the Gaza war.

He can tell us what many of the wildflowers at the canal are because of his horticulture background and it's nice of him to say that he likes to talk a walk with us. When he says that I often think of the description of "The Aged P" (In this case "P's") which what one man in a Dickens book refers to his dad as. He's still sending out resumes. Thx for asking.

426 *What is your favorite brand of bacon?*

Aldi thick sliced under the brand Appleton Farms. It's packaged such that all the slices are stacked on top of each other in a block as opposed to flat. It's a pound and a half for about $6.50. Several varieties: apple wood smoked, hickory smoked and peppercorn.

Oh, and you bake it of course.

435 Bacon fat is healthy. Don't be fooled. Plus, it tastes better.
Great for cookies in lieu of butter.

There are no "essential" carbs. You will die without fat in your diet , or maybe wish you were dead. It is far more likely that hydrogenated ersatz or substitute wheel bearing grease expedients invented during the various wars to end all wars are causing trouble. Margarine, canola, these are hard to digest and inflammatory to an excess. They are maybe tolerable in a calorie restricted diet, but in a "normal" diet will exacerbate a lot of chronic conditions. Coupled with high fructose corn syrups contributing to non-alcoholic fatty liver, you've got a real problem.

Oh, yes, he's not crazy about mental health professionals. His old doctor actually was a psychiatrist and older and quite good, but son aged out as they wanted the doctor to go back to working with adolescents.

There are some doctors who haven’t quite caught up. Fats are essential for joint lubrication, feelings of satiety, etc. Bacon isn’t a great place to get these essential fats (don’t hate me, crew!) for a number of reasons, but there is no harm in enjoying in moderation.

It has always been variable. Whoever is on the "thick cut" slice machine calls in sick at least once a week. Same with the guy on the "Hickory smoke" injector, he just says the hell with it too. Look at the window thing on the back, and try to buy something not too fatty.

Reminds me of a golf story. Tommy Armour III was known to have a fiery temper on the golf course. One time he let a sports journalist caddie for him during a practice round at the Masters. So Armour hits a shot that’s clearly gonna come up short… his temp caddie calls out helpfully “get up!” Armour turns to the journalist and sneers “get your mouth off my ball!”

I once shared a car ride with a woman who was in med school when she started hearing voices. Became a street person wandering around homeless. Yet I heard her give a speech worthy of any debate team. I knew she was going through psychotherapy and I asked her which methods worked the best, drugs, therapy, peer counseling.
She said all of them because nothing works all the time.

496 Fenelon, he is currently one month into a two-month antipsychotic shot, and no other meds (by his choice, and can't force him, although that limits what's available to him in terms of service).
He was on an antidepressant and antianxiety too, but decided to stop. ("I'll either get stronger, or I'll die") Getting the meds right is a bit of a crapshoot, and every time he blows off a program, then cycles back into treatment, new doc, new drugs.
I really thought he'd turned the corner before lockdown (going to community college, getting good grades, had a job, saw friends), but two years locked up with us while my husband was dying (from lack of regular medical care for his pre-existing conditions) wrecked him.
His antipsychotic (then a one month shot) started pooping out sooner and sooner each month, and he is one of the folks who responds to the lunar cycle: I knew from how he was talking last week something was coming, and the moon is near-full.
The week before full has been a bad one for a couple years now.

Read once that famous entertainers are some of the most brittle people in the world as a class. That is because they only consort with people that praise them and just want to bask in the glow of being around a celebrity. They also often get 'handlers' via their pr folks who curate what news they actually get. So, they develop ego problems and assert knowledge where they really only have opinions.

He suggested that bed-ridden obese could start exercising while laying in bed. Sure, Jan - watch the pounds melt off effortlessly!

521 Sharon, he did well with a peer program, and last year when he was in hospital long term was struggling to accept the illness.
He was supervised and on meds, but still occasionally depressed and delusional.
Theoretical physics is what he runs to when he's having a hard time, I think because it tells him he IS intelligent (he is), and the grandiose save-the-world-and-retire things are wishcasting being successful and productive at a higher level than he finds acceptable.
he can do so many things trade-wise, electronically, carpentry, but wants a white collar at X per year.
The trade skills are great when he's in his right mind (did me a brake job once that lasted through three state inspections, various rewiring things getting the house ready to sell before husband died), but when he's not, that's when the AC goes out and the ktichen stove stops working, because he has disabled them at the source while I'm asleep, and I don't find out that's what's happened until the repairman tells me.
Acceptance is not a full thing with him yet, and certainly not when he's in the thick of it.
Thank you, and all who have been so kind

Smithfield was purchased by a Chinese Commie some time ago. Yeah, they've taken a hit in quality. I'm certain much of their production crosses the ocean to feed the elites in Chinese cities, and we get the remainder. That's not 100% why the price of pork is so high, but I'm sure it's a contributing factor.

546 Sharon, when he first started any treatment, we sprang for the DNA test that shows what meds may be a better match.
One factor for him is that he has some gene that inhibits absorption and use of B vitamins, and getting around that with meds/supplements has been part of the crapshoot.
Invega worked for him for years.
Until lockdown, and the stress and despair of our home situation in it.
Part of his delusions while my husband was dying involved trying to find a sustainable green energy heart monitor to save his dad, involving an amber ring of mine he took apart.
I can understand where a lot of his manias come from, but they are still manias that don't intersect with reality, no matter how hard he wishes they did.
