That's why G-d kicked Adam and Eve out of the garden. It was not because of sin alone. He did not want people to live in sin forever if those two ate of the Tree of Life.
At the age of 73, with the various aches, pains and lack of former abilities which come with age, I’ve decided that God gives us old age so that, when our time comes, we’re more than ready to meet him.
My MIL is 92 and still with it…wha-did BJ sing? (Billy Joel - you guttersnipe)….buried most of those she’s loved…that seems t/b the most painful part…. But as Christian’s we will meet again…
If you plot the age people in the Bible lived to versus the year they were born, you get an exponential curve. It's almost like God had a plan or something. :-)
I’ve always loved Trump’s mean tweets because, especially during his first term, he would throw one out there and the enemedia would spend the next 1-2 weeks ranting about it while he sat quietly behind the Resolute Desk keeping his promises.
Way to go Alice on Krispy Kreme doughnuts, only someone from WV would think Dunkin Doughnuts were better dry, dry and more dry.
You haven't lived until you drive 50 miles in the middle of the night in the early 70's to get your pregnant wife Krispy Kreme doughnuts and laughed all the way home!
Anyone remember Spudnuts? What I wouldn’t give for one of their delectable melt-in-your-mouth apple fritters, right now! A number of individually owned shops still exist, just not near me, unfortunately.
I’ve been fortunate to live in a few places that had donut/bakery shops. One town in NC (home of the KK )only had Dunkin & they were real treats for my little family. My current NC hometown has had two or three individually owned donut shops and while Dunkin came here just a few short years ago, my donut go to is the local Glaze King shop. Haven’t tried the local DD. Maybe one day just for fun. Krispy Kreme just couldn’t be bothered to set up shop in my little town so I DO NUT buy their donuts. Maybe I’m just not southern enough 😂
I grew up in Nashville and KK were not only dominant, they seemed like the only game in town. Plus lots of youth organizations “sold” KK as fundraisers, and of course everyone bought them! I live in Memphis now and the BEST doughnuts are Gibson’s, and Alton Brown even named their plain glazed doughnut as one of “The Best Thing I Ever Ate,” which was a fun show some years ago. Very much like a KK but a little bigger and slightly less glaze. Support your local doughnut shops!!!🍩
Best doughnuts I have ever had come from Carter's Grill in Cordele GA with second going to the Engles grocery store bakery in Thomaston GA ; made from scratch rules ! Try to stay out of the Krispy Kreme - Dunkin Doughnuts issue ; think it is a freshness difference 🤔 .
You can kind of. In an emergency you can go to the neaerest emergency room. If admitted your stay is paid for. 100%
I went to the VA ER and they transfered me to a civilian hospital.
The VA takes very good care of me. I will say care improve significantly during Trump's first term. It didn't deteriorate on Ziden's watch and now that Trump is back we seeing signs of more improvement.
The answer to Don's question is Doug Collins, a former Congressman from Georgia and a no nonsense guy. PDJT has assembled the best Cabinet, by far, that I have ever seen in my 70+ years.
LOL! Since when has Englandistan had a ‘Defense Minister?’
He ain’t doin’ too good a job allowing the Muslim Mongrel hordes overrunning their Country without firing a shot. Terminate, with prejudice, the incompetent buffoon.
I guess the Crusades were all for naught and much ado about nothing.
If Alberta goes, NWT, Saskatchewan and Manitoba have no choice to follow. Their national tax structure is set up so that Alberta’s revenue is critical to Ontario and Quebec’s budget. Absent Alberta, the formula would place even more of an unbalanced burden on those remaining rural three to send to the big two, and they would have no choice to leave also, as the burden would be unsustainable.
Alberta is the resource richest division on the continent, but has been blocked by growth at every turn. It is a large net exporter of tax wealth to the central government, and yet held down from generating the wealth to sustain its own budgetary needs with over a decade of this anti-energy agenda.
Decisions made two time zones away are leading to a divorce referendum well may reach critical mass this autumn if the ruling parliamentary coalition in Ottawa doesn’t make significant concessions. (Leave and Remain are about even, and Not Sure is significant) Their national media and parliament are not taking the referendum as seriously as the voter are, and they may be too late to reverse course and make the legislative or policy concessions to make REMAIN the more enticing option.
Imaging seeing most of your revenue sent across the country, and the only thing you get in return is NO, you can’t drill more, you can’t, mine, you can’t build new lines, and your farmers need to not use so much fertilizer and your cows fart too much.
Alberta NEEDS the big two to vote to reverse the net zero, rollback the energy and agricultural production restrictions, and accept a more balanced revenue distribution model where more wealth remains in the province it was produced. That is such an unpopular stance in those two provinces that politicians would rather let the country fracture into several separate nations than risk facing their warped entitled constituencies. As the referendum voters see more of the same, it becomes more likely to pass.
Since Clown Car Carney has just prostrated himself before the Mighty and Powerful Xi and literally pledged Canada to joining China in creating "the New World Order" (I kid you not!) it looks like Alberta had better jump off the Thelma and Louise Express that Canada has become.
Back in the early 70s, my family went on a tour of a Navy base which included a working aircraft carrier. My younger teenaged sister wore hot pants that day. You can imagine the sailors’ reactions. Big mistake. Huge!
Come on, those sailors probably were eternally grateful. Life at sea gets pretty lonely. It's good for a young man's health to look at pretty girls. Old men, too.
How about Minnesota and New England, including NY state? And besides Alberta we get Yukon and the NW Territories so it'll mean just us and the Russkies own the land around the north pole (assuming we get Greenland some way or another).
That asshat in robes in Minnimalia must want an insurrection declared if ICE is only allowed to make faces at the protesters, she is a demoncrat appointee. Maduro went from lefty hero to zero quickly, Greenland watch your back as the left is very fickle ,see DJT. 2015]
Yeah? And...? They were hot then and, I'm sure, they're just as hot now. Remember, YOU are just as old and decrepit as them. Look in the mirror, Sparky.
I didn't until he went "hunting" for pheasants during the '24 campaign, and couldn't figure out how to load his shotgun. Those two were separated at birth.
Item 1: “For real immortality, follow Christ. That has been obvious for 2,000 years.”
AMEN! If God wanted us to live here forever He would’ve planned it that way.
Can’t think of anything I’d like less!
We will live forever, the question is where. If you spend your time on earth running from him, why would you expect to spend eternity with him?
That's why G-d kicked Adam and Eve out of the garden. It was not because of sin alone. He did not want people to live in sin forever if those two ate of the Tree of Life.
🎵 “The Lord wasn’t jokin’ when He kicked ‘em out of Eden
It wasn’t for no reason that He shed His blood
His return is very soon, so you better be believin’
Our God is an awesome God”
-Rich Mullins
Love that song!
Noah was 600 years old when he built the Ark. Just sayin.....
Yes, and Methuselah lived to be 969.
But forever is a long time.
I’d wager those guys were more than ready to go onto paradise.
What’s interesting is that after the flood, lifespans decreased precipitously going from Noah, at 950 to Moses at 120 years.
Clearly something altered life spans significantly after the flood.
At the age of 73, with the various aches, pains and lack of former abilities which come with age, I’ve decided that God gives us old age so that, when our time comes, we’re more than ready to meet him.
My MIL is 92 and still with it…wha-did BJ sing? (Billy Joel - you guttersnipe)….buried most of those she’s loved…that seems t/b the most painful part…. But as Christian’s we will meet again…
We recently tragically lost a family member in his 30s. The one thing that helps me deal with it is knowing that we will all meet again.
If you plot the age people in the Bible lived to versus the year they were born, you get an exponential curve. It's almost like God had a plan or something. :-)
Migrants...there was mass migration.
I’m trying to imagine having a 950 yr old grandma.
Anf...the rest of the family
Ever wonder what the population of earth was before the flood? Possibly higher than it is now.
Social Security paid him for $535 of those years.
How many cubits is that?
Man the mean tweets!!!!!! 😂😂 I love Trump’s tweets that dig, you know it drives them all crazy!
Also, item 23, fluffy and light Krispey Kreme doughnuts STOMP dry and dense Dunkin Doughnuts. Every day of the week. Southerners know.
I’ve always loved Trump’s mean tweets because, especially during his first term, he would throw one out there and the enemedia would spend the next 1-2 weeks ranting about it while he sat quietly behind the Resolute Desk keeping his promises.
He was watching Gorilla TV….

I raised my son (in the womb and now 43) on Dunkin Donuts Old Fashioneds. I guess ignorance is bliss.
You're not wrong (says a southerner)
I will trade half a dozen all sugar kremes for one good bearclaw with extra cinnamon.
Now I love a good bearclaw too Marlan. But if Dunkin makes it, it’ll be dry and dense. It’s their business model😂🤣
Anyone remember Spudnuts? What I wouldn’t give for one of their delectable melt-in-your-mouth apple fritters, right now! A number of individually owned shops still exist, just not near me, unfortunately.
I miss Cornnuts. In the five-cent bag.
Back in the day when we had good teeth!!!!
Good teeff??
I loved having them for a snack as a kid and beyond when swimming at the pool.
Yes! Raised in Utah! How did I forget?
They were a debightful treat that disappeared too soon B.H.
As a kid, we lived next door to the Spudnuts guy.
Occasionally, we'd get a box.
Agree, they were great.
Especially if the Krispy Kreme are “hot now”. Best remedy for a night when you imbibed a bit too much LOL.
doughnut / donut
catsup / ketchup
PASToral / pasTORal
These are things that keep me up at night.
like read-read -red-reed etc??

Have a couple little indie donut shops here make very good scratch fresh and potato donuts ,yummy when hot.
Item 13. RIP Scot Adams. Go with God ❤️🙏✝️
The Minnesota state bird remains the Loon. And the state insect is the tick.
The Loon-a-Tick state!
Aptly so, their governor is loony for sure.
My governor 😢
You have my sympathy.
I'm constantly amazed at the number of Minnesotans who are here. I escaped to Kansas many years ago.
Grandkids.
Coffee snort. Maybe need an acronym (ACS) or emoji. Since it happens so often.
😂👍🇺🇸
Clever,
I remember loons from canoeing. Memorable
I grew up in Northern Minnesota. And they are the state bird.
Iran has 92 million people and is slightly smaller than Alaska. What should we do? Send Lisa Murkowski over there (permanently!) as Ambassador.
I second the motion J.M. !
Lifetime appointment.
She can win w write-in ballots, since mullahs don’t trust SmartMatic…
I dunno , send her over there and they will all starve to death from indecision or flip-flopping .
Item 9. It’s amazing how much you can do for vets when you actually honor and care about them.
I wish we could have a vet medicare and do away with the VA hospitals. Let vets go to their regular dr and hospitals close to their home.
You can kind of. In an emergency you can go to the neaerest emergency room. If admitted your stay is paid for. 100%
I went to the VA ER and they transfered me to a civilian hospital.
The VA takes very good care of me. I will say care improve significantly during Trump's first term. It didn't deteriorate on Ziden's watch and now that Trump is back we seeing signs of more improvement.
Thank you for your service. 👍🇺🇸 🫡
You are welcome. It was an honor.
I concur. It’s just another redundant, unnecessary government expense.
My VA hospital is approximately 70 miles away, but I can have most procedures done locally through the Community Care Office.
The answer to Don's question is Doug Collins, a former Congressman from Georgia and a no nonsense guy. PDJT has assembled the best Cabinet, by far, that I have ever seen in my 70+ years.
Doug Collins, Georgia boy, live just over yonder...
Item 7. I think it’s mass psychosis. Which reminds me of my New Years Resolution. I plan to hold libs in utter contempt more this year than last.
Seem reasonable.
😂😂😂👍
Item 3. The Brit defense minister better get a food and drink taster.
LOL! Since when has Englandistan had a ‘Defense Minister?’
He ain’t doin’ too good a job allowing the Muslim Mongrel hordes overrunning their Country without firing a shot. Terminate, with prejudice, the incompetent buffoon.
I guess the Crusades were all for naught and much ado about nothing.
All those Crusades down the drain.
Item 5. What are the chances President Trump signs a bill returning Obama to Kenya?
Would have to be an EO. Ain't nobody in DC with the balls to even mention this... no less actually draft a bill.
Needs to be Indonesia, home of his adopted father.
What a great thought!

The President should give Carney the Maduro treatment. The Donroe Doctrine Rules.
Canexit.
Keep us posted on developments, please. Rare to see such a complete explanation of what is driving Alberta’s politics re. the rest of Canada.
Hot pants were great back in the seventies, but on today's ham planets?
Item 22, at least the people of Greenland aren't Nazis.
Upvote for "ham planets"
Back in the early 70s, my family went on a tour of a Navy base which included a working aircraft carrier. My younger teenaged sister wore hot pants that day. You can imagine the sailors’ reactions. Big mistake. Huge!
Come on, those sailors probably were eternally grateful. Life at sea gets pretty lonely. It's good for a young man's health to look at pretty girls. Old men, too.
I’m sure that it was good for them, but it was hell for her. She nearly died of embarrassment.
What we survive makes us stronger. :)
Halter top or Tube? Asking for a friend…
I was a sailor in the 70's I know exactly what the reaction was.
I wonder what Hillary looks like in hot pants?? Asking for a friend.
Here's hoping you meant " hot seat " ( as in electric chair:)
Eye bleach please !!
😂😂😂
Not even Bill Clinton would hit that!
Eeeew! Why on earth would you wonder that?
Bill knows the answer….musta been the Yale library trashcan punch…Rodham Rules….
Only if she's wearing a burka.
Hurl!! Gack!
There goes my breakfast 😂
Perish the thought.
Item 14. I have an idea. Let’s trade CA OR MN for Alberta. Solve two problems.
Can we give em a twofer?
How about Minnesota and New England, including NY state? And besides Alberta we get Yukon and the NW Territories so it'll mean just us and the Russkies own the land around the north pole (assuming we get Greenland some way or another).
Better yet, give them New York City, Detoilet, Chiraq, Mogadishu on the Mississippi, Denver, Lost Angeles, San Franfreakshow, Portland and Seattle.
Absolutely not , they'll just turn around and give it the Chinese . Besides what about all the fun we are going to have cleaning it up .
"For real immortality, follow Christ. That has been obvious for 2,000 years."
Amen!
That asshat in robes in Minnimalia must want an insurrection declared if ICE is only allowed to make faces at the protesters, she is a demoncrat appointee. Maduro went from lefty hero to zero quickly, Greenland watch your back as the left is very fickle ,see DJT. 2015]
Minniemolia I love it.
#2 The girls in the Hot Pants link are today's grandmas.
Not intended to be entendre, but in 70s parlance….Still Bitchin’!!
Yeah? And...? They were hot then and, I'm sure, they're just as hot now. Remember, YOU are just as old and decrepit as them. Look in the mirror, Sparky.
You’re no fun 😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍
Anybody else notice that Tim Walz and Elmer Fudd look a hell of a lot alike?
I didn't until he went "hunting" for pheasants during the '24 campaign, and couldn't figure out how to load his shotgun. Those two were separated at birth.
