My Buddy Steve - Part 3

So to get away from all my computer screens – I have 4 – 3 for work and 1 personal – I decided to really take the day off and watch a movie with my husband. We were about half way through when my husband's cell phone rang. He answered and said hello. A minute later he said, “Oh! Hey Steve!”

I have not heard my husband laugh so hard in a long time. I sat back and listened with a smile on my face. 

Steve had received the letter and check that my husband had sent. But Steve no longer lived at that address. He had sold that house to a friend and the friend got the letter and gave it to Steve. (Wow!)

Steve said that he was keeping the check – but that he was never going to cash it. He was very happy to hear from my husband and said that he was one of the best friends he had ever had. He told my husband that he didn't want the money but that, “this should square things for you with God.”

I was practically crying I was so happy. “That worked out well,” I told my husband. “Wow that is such a God thing. Aren't you glad that this happened?”

“Yes,” my husband answered with a big grin.

We may not have heard the last of Steve. He is thinking about coming out to Kansas for a visit. He told my husband, “Let's keep in touch.” God is so awesome. That is something that has been bothering my husband for years, and now it is all washed away. Thank you God!

 

Spam Likely

I had to get a new phone since they will stop service on my 3G phone (that I literally had 5 years of service built up on) in February. It may have been the last 4G phone available in the world. But I like the fact that when the phone rings it pops up with a message, “Spam Likely” on it. So far it has been correct in those predictions.

There is a bowling alley on Buckeye Avenue called Tornado Alley. The sign used to advertise the Friday night Cornhole competitions. Now one side of the sign says closed and the other side of the sign says not open. I tried to find an explanation online as to why, but couldn't find anything. Just closed I guess. Maybe due to the fact that no one is bowling these days or the fact that no one wants to work at the bowling alley. I guess I will never know.  

I'm glad I bought gas a couple days ago because it went from $3.04 a gallon to $3.12 a gallon. That is the highest price I have seen since coming to Kansas. Probably wont be the highest before I leave (if that happens). 

Thank God it is Friday. Have a good weekend.

Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome

Read on a doctor's note recently, “patient got covid-19 at work on 12.8.21. Reports post viral fatigue syndrome with dizziness and congestion. Patient is fully vaccinated Moderna, 3 doses, last vaccine was administered 12.6.21”

Hhmmmmm. I don't see any possible connections there. Do you?

Testing Positive

First of all, literally – if you don't take the stupid test – it is impossible to test positive. I have maintained from the very beginning of this horrible psy-op on the world, not to take the test. 

Of course, people did it anyway. When I worked at my last job – I took all the calls of employees who couldn't come to work because they were sick. I watched it happen over and over. They would have a random “symptom” - so they went out and got the test. At first it was negative – but a month or two later it would be positive. Want to know why? Because the tests are giving it to people. 

But now that you have tested positive, you have opened the door for “contact tracing”. Now some busybody from the health department will call you and ask you about every single person you have come in contact with in the last couple weeks. Then they will call all those people and tell them to isolate themselves and get their own tests. And so on and so on. As long as people will line up in the rain to get their stupid tests, this will never end.

What is worse – is those that don't have any symptoms and go get a test. Why would you do that? Asymptomatic spread is a LIE! They are lying about this whole thing. It use to be – you got a cold – you would have a little cough, sneeze, blow your nose and then it would be gone in a couple days. If you had the flu, you would have a fever, feel like absolute crap, lay on the couch and moan for a week and then it would be done. But real colds and flu's have disappeared – or have they? Now they just call it something scary and people lose all reason and become hysterical. 

So my advice to you is:

1.) Absolutely don't get anymore tests

2.) Whatever you do, don't get the shot

3.) Please DO NOT download the tracing app onto your phone. Because that is really dumb.

And lastly – for your viewing pleasure – a little piece of propaganda from the CDC. Then maybe spend some time looking into history from WWII. Because it is HERE.

A Time to Rend and a Time to Sew

About a week or so ago, I was driving through town to check the mail like I usually do. I just happened to look over to the right and noticed a little quilt shop across the street from the post office. I said to myself, “wow! A quilt shop! I need to stop in there.” Then I laughed and said, “Yeah, what are you going to do? Buy some fabric?” (I literally talk to myself like that when I'm driving.)

The reason I thought it was funny, is I have a bin full of fabric and sewing supplies from my quilting days. It is in the storage area of our RV, having survived all the purges of stuff that I go through periodically.  

I was in a hurry at the time, so I didn't stop. The next time I drove into town was after work. I am working a new shift (which I hate by the way) where I don't get off work until 6pm. It was dark and a train was going by which had backed up what little traffic there is. I was waiting for the train right in front of the little quilt shop. I started to think the Lord was trying to tell me something. 

Maybe it's time to finish the wedding quilt.

I started the quilt pictured above years ago before I was married but had been calling it the wedding quilt since. I was going to work on it when my husband and I first got married, but just never had the time. I really feel like now is the time finish it. So, I pulled out my bin of quilting stuff and took inventory. I have plenty of needles. A lot of my safety pins were rusty, so I threw them out. 

My quilt top, the stuff that goes inside the quilt and the fabric I had picked out for the back were all in good condition. I laid it out on the bed and the backing is not big enough. I will have to cut the backing up into squares and make it larger by using other pieces of fabric from my bin. I will need to work it out on paper first. I know what direction I'm going to go. 

I did stop by the quilt shop this morning, but they are closed on Sundays. I will try again next Saturday, just to take a look around. Plus, everyone can use a new fat quarter here and there!

P.S. I knew that I had once posted this picture on my blog and wanted to find it, so I didn't have to take a new picture. I found it in August 2012! Almost ten years ago. Yeah, it's time I finished it.

Kale has ALWAYS been a Psy-Op

If you look at the image above – that is kale. Yuk. It doesn't even LOOK appetizing – and if you've ever eaten it – well, I just feel sorry for you.

I was trying to decide what - of the myriad of psy-ops going on in the world and in the media – I should write about. It's just too many topics and even if I told you about all of them – it wouldn't matter in the long run. Literally, what is NOT a psy-op these days?

But I have been maintaining for YEARS – that kale is a psy-op. I have been on the diet roller-coaster and I am convinced – that a group of people out there – possibly kale farmers – got together and decided that they could persuade a bunch of fat people to eat it, if they told them how good it is for you while you are dieting. 

They have been pushing kale on the unwashed masses for an entire decade now. All I'm saying, when it comes to kale, walk away! Actually run!
