"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen". Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

I am having a wonderful day. I replaced the silent valve on a toilet. I bought a Kohler many years ago and had some trouble in the first month. I called Customer Service and the lady told me how to clean it. I cleaned it and it has worked great since. A few days later, I receive a new one in the mail. Free.
I put it away. Many years later, this past few weeks, an even old Kohler started "running". I got the water bill yesterday, so now I am motivated to replace the valve. Really very easy. Shut off the supply line. Drain the tank. Remove the old one. Put in the new one. Turn on the supply line. Voila! Posted by: no one of any consequence at October 25, 2025 08:29 AM (W7XSX) 22

——— My parents bought a combo grinder, coffee maker w/timer. It was a neat idea, but overall didn’t work too well, the grind was way too coarse. It had a hopper to put the beans in. Set the alarm for 5:30 or whatever, and away it went on time on target. Holy smokes, though when the grinder spooled up it sounded like an air raid siren. Scared the crap out of me.

Blessings and peace to all Hordians. For once I'm up at a time and I can leave you all a message on the prayer thread. For anyone who is suffering from a solid tumor cancer of any type, I strongly suggest that you look at Joe Tippens' protocol with fenbendazole, which has no side effects and you can get it from the pet store. Yes, it's an anthelmentic, and it has three mechanisms of action against cancer.
You may have seen that Merck, which makes fenbendazole for animals, is making a similar drug (that they can patent), called mebendazole, but that only has two of the three mechanisms of action. They are combining that with a second drug and selling it to humans. Fenbendazole has had amazing effectiveness even in stage 4 cancers. Tippens wrote his personal story in a blog called my cancer story rocks, and you can find it online. https://www.cancerdefeated.com /five-years-ago-he-had-terminal-cancer- so-how-is-he-cancer-free Posted by: Beverly at October 25, 2025 08:35 AM (Epeb0) 28
CO Gray wolf update #1
US Fish & Wildlife has informed CO Parks & Wildlife that they are not allowed to transport gray wolves into CO from outside the US Northern Rocky Mountain states (MT, ID, WY, UT). CPW says it has already signed a contract with British Columbia with the intent of importing another dozen or so wolves from Canada this winter. I suspect this will not go to court, and USF&W will back down because CO is a sanctuary state and as Goov. Polis might have said, "we wuv those fuzzy wuzzy little furriners! They're just sooooo CUTE!" https://is.gd/bz85vL" Posted by: muldoon at October 25, 2025 08:35 AM (/iMjX) 29

Chuck grew up in Ohio or Kentucky, no? He wasn’t Californian. Buggered as a youth in various jails he soon learned to return the favor.
Somewhere along the way he learned quite a few of the standard cult conditioning techniques, he was a skilled manipulator and con artist. He and his “followers” had a get out of jail free card, as he was part of an NIH “communal living” study. Ordinarily in 1968 those on federal parole, running drugs, teenage prostitution rings, car theft rings, hanging around other felons, credit card fraud, etc etc, will get parole yanked very quickly. Not Chuck though, he was “special”. All of this was covered up at the time of course. Posted by: Common Tater at October 25, 2025 08:39 AM (x8W60) 33

If you research fembendazole, you will find a lot of dire warnings about how it hasn't been tried in humans and there is no clinical evidence and so forth. I actually work in Big Pharma and the way that it works is that no pharmaceutical company will do clinical trials on a generic off-patent drug like fenben. There's no money in it and clinical trials are insanely expensive ... and also they do not want competitor drugs that will knock out their own business with chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
And then they publish press releases and so forth saying that this competitor drug has not been approved for use in humans. Well of course it hasn't. So Joe Tippens, who first brought this to widespread attention, had stage four lung cancer and decided what the heck, he would do it and he took it along with standard cancer drugs and had no ill effects from it. So it's one of those "try this at your own risk" deals. I take it prophylactically myself from time to time, with no ill effects. Some independent research has been done but there's no funding for widespread studies for obvious reasons. Cancer is a huge business for Pharma.

CO gray wolf update #2
Gray wolves reintroduced into CO since 2023 continue to expand their overall territorial extent, now being tracked into watersheds that border WY, UT, and NM. From the original release areas in the north central CO Rockies wolves have been GPS tracked into the upper Rio Grande drainage (into the San Luis Valley near Alamosa) and westward into portions of the Gunnison River drainage (Montrose and Mesa Counties). So far Boulder has not been visited. CPW targets an eventual wolf population of between 150 and 200 wolves. Beyond that they will probably start letting CO residents shoot them because cute and fuzzy predators are only cute and fuzzy to a point.

I have been buying a comic series called "The Remnant" since it first came out. Classic superhero comic with a twist that the heroes are the ones left behind after The Rapture and are fighting the Antichrist and his followers.
Just received the latest issue and he included a prayer journal. Basically, it outlines why we pray, what we should pray for and to keep track of what we are grateful about. Nice little add on.

Posted by: NR Pax at October 25, 2025 08:54 AM (7xrfc) --- Dispensationalism's rise is an excellent example of how Christians can move popular culture when they have a mind to do so. It's a fair young belief, was outside all of Mainline Protestantism (and beneath the notice of orthodoxy), but thanks to entrepreneurial preachers and the Left Behind book series (not to mention bumper stickers stating in the event of the Rapture the car will be empty), it probably has more popular understanding than far older Christian concepts. The lesson is to repudiate the old "be not of this world" mentality and "nice" Christianity and instead carry it with you everywhere to the point that it becomes accepted and normalized. Bless people, reference scripture when appropriate and don't by shy about displaying Christian symbols. And be sure to wish everyone Merry Christmas when the time comes.

Be sure to never open a supply line all the way. Back it off a little. That way, if calcification prevents you from closing the valve, opening it a little more may dislodge to calcium.

Some interesting doings in Blighty this week. As some may know, the Church of England has confirmed its desire to be disestablished and consigned to the dust bin of history by nominating a pro-gay woman to be the next Archbishop of Canterbury. The head of the Church of England is Wales is a lesbian, and it is now accepted doctrine to perform blasphemous marriages between people of the same sex.
Within days of that announcement, the Global Anglican Communion issue a communique stating that the See of Canterbury had been excommunicated. Communion had been suspended previously, but GAFCON has had enough, and all bonds between the C of E and the rest of Anglicanism have been declared severed. All provinces wishing to remain in communion must alter their charters to formally break from Lambeth and the authority of Canterbury. A new leadership will be elected from the bishops on the principle of Primus Inter Pares, and the ancient doctrine will be confirmed. But wait, there's more!

For those unfamiliar, it is white and black (the colors of the Order of Preachers) with fleurettes on the ends. People will frequently comment on it: I explain that it is the cross of St. Dominic, and that I am a lay brother in a Catholic religious order. Sometimes this will spark a deeper conversation.

Meanwhile, King Charles III became the first English monarch in 500 years to attend a Mass in Rome. He was accompanied by the Archbishop of York, who is the ranking prelate in the Church of England as the new Archbishop of Canterbury has not yet been formally installed so the see is considered sede vacante.
A host of Catholic English clergy were also present, including the Archbishop of Westminster. Honorific titles were exchanged as well, another break from prior precedent. One cannot wonder of Charles has decided that the C of E is beyond salvation (so to speak) and is preparing to disestablish it, allowing monarchs the freedom to return to Rome. It is noteworthy that the late Duchess of Kent (married to one of Queen Elizabeth II's cousins) converted to Catholicism and her funeral Mass was attended by the Royal Family, another break from 500 years of shunning the Church.

Hey there, music lovers, it’s time for a somber countdown in the world of Casey Kasem. After the legendary voice of American Top 40 left us in 2014, his family hit some sour notes, locked in a bitter feud over his care, estate, and final resting place. Casey’s kids from his first marriage—Kerri, Julie, and Michael—clashed with his wife, Jean, accusing her of elder abuse and neglect, while Jean fired back, claiming the kids were after Casey’s $80 million fortune. Lawsuits flew, with wrongful death claims and battles over Casey’s burial in Norway instead of L.A. By 2019, they reached a settlement, quieting the legal storm, but the emotional discord lingers, especially over bringing Casey’s remains home. A tough chapter for a man who brought us so many chart-topping memories—let’s keep the music playing and the love alive.

Guess which one I chose to watch. Posted by: SpeakingOf at October 25, 2025 09:48 AM (6ydKt) Posted by: naturalfake at October 25, 2025 09:49 AM (iJfKG) 162

Posted by: m at October 25, 2025 09:40 AM (RuTUS) --- The Church of England in Wales was disestablished more than a century ago, so there is a precedent. It's unlikely that Labour will resist dismantling the Church of England, which they cordially despise. The Tories are no better these days. I fail to see a downside.

I'm sipping coffee on an almost frosty morning and looking at the oak trees in the yard. They don't get brilliant red like maples. But when the morning sun hits them the tuning leaves are a cascade of mahogany and gold. Glorious!
Posted by: JTB --- I wish I could share this sentiment, but at the moment I'm looking at the decidedly inglorious piles of leaves from my oak trees that I raked yesterday after work. But I can be grateful for the house and half acre God has given me, and the ability to work hard in the yard, even if I'm not any good at it. Neighbors' trees are starting to turn red. I can enjoy those because I don't have to rake those leaves. Posted by: screaming in digital at October 25, 2025 09:50 AM (cnYlU) 164

Back when I was a rookie, I worked with a grizzled old street cop that just refilled his coffee mug, he never washed it. End of the shift, he'd just leave whatever was left in the mug sitting on his desk, and just top-off the mug at the start of his shift.

Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at October 25, 2025 09:43 AM (ZOv7s) On the topic of Labour and Wales, it’s amusing to note that there was a bye-election there this week, for a seat which had been solidly Labour for a century. Results: Plaid Cymru (Welsh Nationalists) 47%, Reform 37%, Labour 11%. With the Government in such disrepute it’s no surprise that the Welsh Nationalists surged. Reform had a very strong second coming from nowhere. Labour is dead, and I don’t think the Tory’s even fielded a candidate. So that’s the state of English politics today. They’ve got a government which theoretically can hang on to power til 2029, but which is the most despised government ever. Posted by: Tom Servo at October 25, 2025 09:51 AM (WtEb/) 167

Posted by: Bulg at October 25, 2025 09:55 AM (77rzZ) --- Modern monarchs do not have personal opinions. They read what they are handed. Sometimes conversations are leaked, or the mask skips (most notoriously with Prince Philip), but when you see Charles going on about the beauty of Islam, he's reading the script he was handed. This carries over into Royal Assent, which is automatic. Some years ago, the King of Belgium (a Catholic) was handed a bill liberalizing abortion. He refused to sign it, but constitutionally, he was obligated to. He had no discretion. So he abdicated, which almost created a crisis, but with the throne vacant, the law took effect and then he was persuaded to pick up the scepter, which he did. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

183- “Divine” is an accurate choice of words women and men are designed by God to be complementary. When we, as men, find women attractive, I believe it is by divine design/intent. Interestingly, my ex-wife, with one of her phony Facebook accounts ,called me a “pervert” for dating a pretty 30 year old woman (and here me only 29). Obviously this is the exact opposite of perversion and is, in fact, functioning as designed.

Even in England where the COE is basically a leftist institution now. The way I see it, to confront Islam taking over they're going to need a large, established orgainzation to rally around and the Vatican is all there is that could start a new 'Crusade' or 'Reconquista'. Evangelical and Reform churches are too varied and disorganized to put up much resistance. Catholics may be the only game in town besides right-wing militias.

Orthodox has been pulling in lots of young converts, too.
Posted by: Brother Tim sez at October 25, 2025 10:03 AM (je25v) --- The Orthodox Church in the US is really small, and my understanding is that they have a lot of the same problems that Catholics did 50 years ago where cultural ties held together a lot of the churches and those are fading. So while they are getting young people interested in the antiquity of the faith, the older generation is passing and their kids don't have the same tie to the nationalist-centered church. This is probably the biggest problem facing modern Eastern Orthodoxy. Ukraine has put this to the test, and it's not going well, with anathemas flying back and forth. There's also the problem that various patriarchies are stuck in dysfunctional states: Antioch, Alexandria, Moscow and Constantinople are all prone to political pressure. Indeed, with the seminaries closed in Turkey, Bartholomew may be the last Ecumenical Patriarch, which is why I think there is renewed energy in healing the Great Schism.

My previous post reminds me I need to ask for prayers for my ex. She seems to have settled in to a regular 3 month spiral cycle- no contact, then a few days of spiteful attacks on Facebook with a”phony accounts. I don’t think she’s attending church anymore, please pray she comes home to God and finds peace (I know He’s seeking her, but she’s got to want to be found, I guess).

Considering that neither the late, unlamented Francis nor the incumbent Leo has had much to say about Christians getting slaughtered by Musloids in Africa, I wouldn't expect too much from the Vatican.

They should have seen it coming at the start of "joining the EU" vote.
You never surrender national sovereignty. Posted by: rickb223 Acehole Extraordinaire coined by JSpicy at October 25, 2025 10:32 AM (UjDHi) When the Brits voted to go in it was still the EEC (European Economic Community), and they did for economic reasons to get tariff-free access to the common market. Thatcher warned what was coming in the 80s but the establishment kept on going no matter what. When the Brits finally got to vote on the matter, they said "Toodles!" and they still can't get completely out seven years later due to the same establishment fighting kicking and screaming on the way out the door. You're right though, they should've never gone in. Thankfully they never gave up pound sterling for the Euro or they'd be in an even bigger bind.

Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. Having transmission issues, brain is stuck in nuetral.

This sounds like a thing the IT folks call a "memory leak". My suggestion would be to transfer all your important files to removable media, and then install Linux Mint 22, telling it to nuke the old Windows install by wiping the HD.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at October 25, 2025 10:47 AM (8zz6B) --- I used Linux before on a windows laptop that had become too small for windows. Seems like the same thing. On the other hand, this is literally the cheapest thing I could find, so I'm not busted up over retiring it. The power cord has to be positioned *just so* for it to charge, so it's loss is not going to be a great hardship. Just wondering if there's a cheap fix to stretch things out because it's locking up more often. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at October 25, 2025 10:53 AM (ZOv7s) 303

i could see the new pope calling for outreach to muslims as easily as calling for resistance.
Posted by: Dr. Claw at October 25, 2025 10:36 AM (fd80v) Yeah, that is a problem. Leo won't be there forever. Could be they'll elect a pope one day who isn't worried about impressing the globalist left and is more worried about pleasing God and protecting the faith itself. Otherwise, Rome will just be part of the caliphate one day, and the Vatican will be a huge mosque complex. Posted by: SpeakingOf at October 25, 2025 10:57 AM (6ydKt) 306

...and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us, *********** As = In the same manner. We have an expectation that God will forgive us if we acknowledge our trespass and ask his forgiveness. In the same manner, as Christians we are expected to forgive trespasses against us if the trespasser acknowledges his trespass and asks our forgiveness. It's not a blanket pardon.

We have a very nice young couple at church who have tried for years to have children but apparently it was not to be. They have run our youth group so you know that they would be great parents.
They have now successfully adopted a brother and sister barely above toddler. They are Latins as are the couple and one would think they are a natural family together to all appearances. Anyways, adoption party for them tomorrow at church and prayers of thanksgiving, so I wanted to share the good news. Posted by: toby928(c) at October 25, 2025 11:06 AM (jc0TO) 316

Is it 'memory' or Hard Drive/SSD space you're running out of? If it's memory (RAM) you can start by closing programs you aren't using while browsing the web, and go into your "Start Up" programs in Windows settings and turn off anything you don't need to start when you turn on the laptop. If it's disc space then you'll have to go in and delete files you don't need. There may be a lot of backups in your Windows restore function that you can delete. You only really need the last one or two backups if you aren't having problems. Try - "The most straightforward method is using the built-in Disk Cleanup tool. Open Disk Cleanup by searching for it in the Start menu, then click "Clean up system files". Check the box for "Windows Update Cleanup" and optionally "Delivery Optimization Files". Click "OK" and confirm the deletion. This method is recommended and safe." Posted by: SpeakingOf at October 25, 2025 11:06 AM (6ydKt) 317

Posted by: pawn at October 25, 2025 11:09 AM (tqkKb) The very fact that such a thing exists is reason enough to shitcan Windows in favor of Linux. Linus has some issues, too, but at least you don't have to pay hundreds of dollars for it. I turn off automatic updates, too. Some times an update can cause you to lose functionality for no good reason at all. If you need a certain update for security, or to fix a known problem, you can find out in forums, or even in discussions here, and apply such updates individually.
