GAB.COM is where the Real True Uncensored material is~! A little bit on the Religious side but not pushing any beliefs on anyone.
I have found such friends among the live warm bodies I see on a regular basis, and right here on this site. There are many news, commentary and info sites I enjoy daily, none of them the useless mainstream media.
I understand what you're saying, but I try seriously not to make the issues about patriot vs traitor or republican vs democrat. For me, it comes down to those who can be manipulated by the media, and those who still have critical thinking. It started a long time ago with other faux pandemic hoaxes that have been attempted on us, such as SARS, H1N1, Zika. 10 years ago Forbes published an article with the title "Why did the CDC just try to fake a pandemic?" That was in the last hour before the media became almost wholly owned by pharma with its massive ad buys. Forbes wouldn't dare publish such a title today.
People who are afraid of dying from Covid, who think people really are dropping dead in droves from a disease with a 99.7 percent survival rate, who think you need two shots and multiple boosters, that no medicines will work, mostly really are deceived, really are afraid. They haven't the thinking skills to see the economic machinations, the tyranny and the control of the populace that are being attempted. I tend to wash my hands of those who are arrogant about it, and try to be kind and loving to those who want to talk about it. I'm always armed with facts, to help those who want help.
There's a guy on the other forum talking about "22,000 cases" or some such number, but saying he hopes it will be "a new world" in November, when it "opens up" wherever he is. I'm just not going to get into it with him. He's asleep, compliant, afraid. There will never be a new world for him, and he will never appreciate the wonderful world we already have.

Fucking A Right~! I agree 100%~!
@Bliss Doubt just be careful what you post I do not want a Moderator to start deleting posts or monitoring this thread since they BANNED Politics on the VU. I have no problem with what you said but I am not the one who declares what is too Political or not.
I do try. Yes, there's more I could express. I realize though my opinion will not defeat your own.I agree. I don't know everything and don't believe that one can argue nor debate another into believing anything. It's a high school thing in my opinion that even though one may appear the "winner" means little in reality. All I expect from anyone is common respect. Which you very much show in my opinion Mr Magic.
I too had a Christian upbringing. Have since realized as I expressed earlier. That doesn't mean my "way" is the "only" one or "correct".
The world in my humble view require differences. Ah, well that's all.
One more minor thing, I don't know all nor claim to, will not as far as I know. In fact I struggle to let go of some I know.
Well, if they delete me, they delete me, but I tried to make it clear that, for me, it has nothing to do with left/right politics. I was responding to Rhianne, who brought it down, at least in the one comment, to patriots being the people who know what's going on. Even the word "patriot" has been made political, I'll agree.
I was trying to de-fuse, not detonate, but I'll edit out the Obama & Bush comparison, and the mention of Trump.

They will not DELETE you but maybe a post because of the Political Ban. It takes a lot to get Banned from the VU which is what is so cool about it~!
Politics are just not allowed anymore. The Mud Pit was deleted or closed, I am not sure but I think the content is still there.
Been rough going. Gout flaring up. Pharmacists still processing the prescript for medicine to lessen/remove it.
The doctor had written a "standing order" for it. I could in effect go request any time needed. That medicine is not a controlled substance.
They still need to ask the doctor about it though. Not sure why. Wife says maybe because it expired.
If it is an as needed "standing order", it ought not expire I think. But oh well they got to cluster fuck everything anymore. Meanwhile I have to walk a lot in the schools, you can imagine my joy.
Finally got the testosterone. Trying to schedule some time next week to go get a shot of it. I'm not using the local clinic's outreach any more. Seems the nurse/s there skim off & nothing is said/done about it. *smh*
So, I have to rely on the circulating nurse at the health dept.. Funny how doctors don't give shots to their patients any more. Anyway, ... *gestures BFD* it can be so fun.
Give two groups of kids lunching the fear of the custodian spiel. Heard my Pap's voice trembling through me. I didn't say anything nasty, merely that it was the tone, curtness, directness and the "I dare you to keep doing wrong".
Think I scared even a few teachers. *chuckles* One grandfather had come in to visit. He was lunching when the one group got told, "silence about the deck", there was no more talking for lunch. I explained the kids could tell their parents they learned about consequences at lunch.
The grandfather nodded and mouthed "thank you". He stepped over and placed a hand on my arm, "Sailor, son, you keep on teaching these folks right. We don't have that in our world now. Be the hero you are where you are. Thank you."
I mentioned that kids look up at one of the posters with words. One of the words was respect. As kids they needed to respect what teachers asked them to do, do it. Told them teachers were taught to be nice so they kept being nice, custodians who clean schools don't need to be nice.
I can feasibly make kids stay in a cafeteria and clean a bit. I've seen that teachers, principles are in a way clamoring to have a "bad guy" custodian to help them. So, I can see there's a little wiggle room but also see I don't go abusing that.
Such a shame teachers are now pussies. They'll stand there "please stop", "please don't do" and on until blue in the face. But, no consequences. Kids need boundaries, know I did. Know our teachers didn't hesitate. "You want to keep doing X, go see the principle."
Principles also could/would dole out a but swatting. A note to parents was sent explaining the act of discipline. Parents expected no less.
Well, need to get ready. Yay, more work today.

We'll be going to the funeral of my son-in-law's Great-Grandmother today. She was 105. We went to the Rosary last night.
Later today I'll be re-screening the screen my cat clawed through with allegedly stronger screen. The new screen is made out of vinyl coated polyester thread and is thick. Yesterday I worked on another screen that had a hole to get an idea about doing it. The new screen material is so thick that getting the spline in was tough, even with a spline roller tool.
But right now it's time for coffee and a vape!

Funerals are always sad. Sorry to hear.
105, wow what she must have seen!
Early morning coffee, before dawn, is the only time when this moment is this moment, today is this day. I sip and enjoy, keeping thoughts, plans, today's tasks, yesterday's accomplishments, all at bay. After the second cup is finished, I'm checking emails that came in last night, working toward the next paycheck, cleaning up for my dinner guests, reading mail sent to me days ago, checking the calendar, paying bills so they won't sneak up on me tomorrow. Today is no longer just today, but part of the stream of yesterday and tomorrow.
Good morning.
*sits staring at bedroom walls, sighs, vapes, keeps staring and thinking*
Got home from work. My choices for anything fun to do are, pass out and sleep, find something on telly that makes me pass out and sleep, go weed eat as it needs done. *sighs, vapes, keeps staring*
No @gopher_byrd, *HUG* not oblivious, Apologies being just a bit in my own skull though. Pass along some extra hugs. Know I still my miss a grandmother or two. That's always rough, especially when they promise they'll live forever.
Well, got irked at wife obviously over nothing more than her making a joke. Went out, did the weed eating. Have been told she was joking. Now, sitting here feeling a total shit heel. Also dreadful that after twenty years we may wind up apart. Hoping that doesn't happen. Not sure though at this point. I mean hey, if I can't take a joke, ...?
Well, she's a bit irked too. But she tells me when I ask if I screwed the pooch, "just a little".

Talk about it to her and tell her how you feel. Sincere sorry's and flowers help.
Just a reminder for everyone here
In preparation for fall and winter and frankly we truly are experiencing a summer cold and flu season like none other, I recommend a few basic supplements that taken regularly will enable your natural immune system to fight off most anything it encounters.
Please review this and anything you learn here with your trusted licensed health care provider.
Essential Vitamins: HUMOR LOVE & JOY
For At Home Vitamin D and Food Sensitivity Testing:
There is nothing more important than having optimal Vitamin D3 levels to protect yourself from the most serious viral infections circulating the globe today.
Get started on vitamin D3+k2 at about 5000IU a day and then get your levels checked in 1 - 3 months and annually.
If you suffer from any inflammation, pain, allergies or autoimmunity I find knowing your food sensitivities and removing the most reactive foods is the most important step to health and wellness.
Get both the Vitamin D3 level (goal is 50 - 80) and food sensitivity testing done now from the comfort of your home and get your results right to your computer or smart device.

To your health,
Odd thought here. Not ever once smelled fresh brewed coffee. Maybe coffee would hold more addictive persuasion over me, if I could smell. As it is to borrow from the original M*A*S*H theme song, ...
Not that I'm suicidal. Though sometimes I do in earnest wonder, why one keeps on living, when surviving seems all there is for them. My borrowing is from the aspect of ... "I can take it, or leave it, if I please." That's the relationship I have with a lot of life.
Wife asks what I want to eat and my stock reply, "food is food." I don't really want to eat ... well, anything. I eat though because well you need to eat.
Oh well, just some thinking out loud.
What is shocking?
Is it the fact of never having smelled coffee?
Congenital anosmia, I have said a few times on this forum. I have not kept it a secret. It is one reason I use unflavored ejuice a lot. I don't smell the flavors, and to a good point don't taste them either.
Is it the way I feel toward a lot in life possibly in part to not ever smelling anything?
How else are you supposed to feel. There's research and evidence suggesting people associate life events with scents, favorite places, favorite people, favorite foods and so on by scent. I have none of that. I have my wife who is a favorite person. I don't know her scent though. I love her.
A lot of that same research also suggests aromas, scents can stimulate emotional responses. For example they suggest the scent of lavender to sooth, calm people. A popular detergent or few are using that scent and promoting it via commercials with children all cuddled up in warm blankets.
So yes, kind of hard to know emotions if the scents what help stimulate them aren't there. I could be smelling mustard gas all day and wonder why I feel irritable for no reason. And someone else could come to where I am, right away pull me from that danger based on the unpleasantness invoked by the odor of mustard gas.
Fun thing you smelling capable folks got there.
Is it shocking I share my thoughts?
Everyone else here does as well. Why should my doing it be a shock?
I feel like the lab rat asking the scientist what he's proving having me in a maze. Maybe its better to not know why you find that post shocking. No, because I would just ruminate over that.

Sincere apologies. Seems better I not say anything to anyone lately. When people get shocked, sad, meritless confrontations, unwarranted laughter, needless misunderstandings from others, ... makes it difficult finding anything to even attempt saying. Yes, do apologize and will return to reticence.Slow here
Better to say, do nothing than have to wonder what is wrong with you when you know nothing is. I'm the same I was two weeks ago to two days, to yesterday ago. Gotten real clear, real quick the world inclusive of my wife have decided it best I change to suit some arbitrary mold. Recall twenty years ago me & wife agreed we would not ever ask for the other to change.
Yes, we each grow and change as life is wont to do for folks. Our core selves we're not changing. That's what I'm discussing here.
That isn't saying I don't try my best, do my best for her. I do in everything. She's my wife and deserves no less. Seems there's been a change somewhere along the way, now that isn't enough & I'm left to guess what hoops I need to go through, who's hoops, why there? So yes, far better to not say or do anything and face all kinds of trouble. Can only be myself after all. People don't like that, well, they can go whatever with whoever I reckon.
*shrugs*
Not that I don't care, I do. I'm just tired of being hurt by caring. Sometimes the only way left to care is to let go.
Then again, maybe I'm deluded and seeing everything wrong. I have no clue. Can only say it seems everything has flipped upside down of late. What else am I to feel but concern? Again, ... *shrugs*
How did I come to get so deluded?
Is it something in Milo's sweet tea, in the food, air?
Can I be detoxified?
Are operators standing by?
Sorry if I'm joking and seeming to detract or deflect from something serious. It is my inborn coping mechanism/ability, to laugh instead of going mad. The seeming joking questions above can all be read and taken quite seriously. If I do need serious help then by damn seriously point me to the help I need.
Don't suggest drinking or drugs. I know neither work to do what one expects. You sober up and the shit you were running from is still there. I'm not a runner in that sense anyway.

Think I have me & wife sorted out. It'll mean I run out in front of her with a pike, stand my ground and knock the horse down.
She has severe lady troubles, always has. She got put on BC that she takes all year except for two weeks. This keeps hormone induced psychosis in check. It also helps her in other ways.
She also is likely high probability candidate for early Man Pause. I'm sure the ladies will understand what I'm meaning. She would have gotten a hysterectomy, but no doctor wanted to give such "young" lady that extreme an option.
Well, I do believe she has been off her BC for over a month now. So, she has been evil, psycho wifey due to her hormones. I don't say that dismissively, or degrading. Know myself hormones or lack of can make you feel shitty. Considering I been off a month, she has too. It's a wonder we're still living.
Her evil wifey is like a full on male psycho. So she gets irked at me being such a girl and all "feely" without testosterone. Yep, reckon that would be a perfect storm. *sighs*
Well, if I miss the horse guess my ashes can be scattered over the sea.

@MyMagicMist - I went through that VERY early - I was 41, so it was 25 years ago. I found Dong Quai from the herbal store to be very helpful - without it, I was hell on wheels to live with. Psycho is a pretty accurate descriptive word, but then, I have those tendencies anyway. When I'm medicated to the hilt like I have been lately, then not so much.
Some articles recommend soy products, but the only soy that's going into me will be in my Chinese food. I wouldn't touch those soy-based meds/supplements with a ten-foot pole.
For days I've been wanting to suggest to you to not be so hard on yourself. I think you're more among friends here than you realize. I feel bad for you when it becomes obvious that you feel like you need to go stand in the corner and hush. You have as much right to speak, both here and at home, as anyone.
Years ago when I was much more sensitive than I am now, I had to put a note on my bathroom mirror, so I'd see it several times every day. The note said, "You have as much a right to life as anyone." It's true for everybody, and you are one of that population.

So this morning my A/C starts making a Squeaking noise~! At 6:30 I am trying to see what the hell is doing it checking the flap for the filter and the filter. Stops and starts again so I turn off the A/C still hear it and then start shutting down PC's. Go outside and hear it and it turned out to be a freaking Cricket in the A/C because when it turned on it went away~! Like I need this shit so early in the AM~!

I know most of you probably have really good sources for your coffee, but I'm cheap and we're using K-cups now, so I am continually looking for better deals. I found a great deal so thought I'd share it.
crazycups.com
I got 4 boxes of 24 pods of Eight O'Clock Dark Italian Espresso Roast for $37 shipped.
That might not sound so great if you drink a coffee that you can pick up in the grocery store, but our local stores don't carry this coffee any more, and my son and I are absolutely addicted to it.
The price for each box of 24 cups was $10.59 on sale, then I had a 15% off coupon, and got free shipping for making a purchase over $35.
The last time I ordered that coffee, I thought I got a pretty good deal on 2 boxes of 24 for $28 shipped from quill.com, so the price I paid today is head and shoulders better than last time.

Ever heard of pueraria mirifica? Potent plant estrogen, no soy. You see it touted for breast augmentation, but when you read about it, it's the estrogen.

I have told many people about it and only 1 told me it was bitter. She mixed it with another coffee before trying it so to me that is a problem. Some people are just difficult.
Uh huh, and you keep on we'll see it run out of stock. I buy at least three bags at a time to keep on hand. Three bags fills one of those plastic Foldger's cans. To think you could pay $8 or more for one of those filled with colored water powder. $3 fills it back up with real coffee.
Well I asked if she felt maybe being off the birth control could be part of things. No, it's all me according to her. Instead of merely saying I had to look for a cord for a minute, I apparently flew of the handle and got all kinds of huffy over it.
So on those grounds tomorrow when I speak to social worker councilor I'm going to see about getting committed. Clear I cannot trust myself to talk, think, feel. I obviously have some issue where I've hysterics over tiny stuff. And worse, I don't realize I'm having the hysterics.
I need "put away" I guess. Reckon there goes my work too. Funny how I don't know a thing any more.
Fair enough. Yes, I can own being sensitive & passionate. Yes I am. Never tried hiding that, denying it. Sometimes I know these can be issues. Saw my Pap struggle. He didn't talk much. Instead there were lots of quiet times when he thought how to say anything. I do that as well at times, probably not to his degree.
Yes, comprehend this. That's why it's so difficult I apparently don't know I'm being hysterical. Reckon those mental issues in me are doing more damage than I regarded. I don't know. She's "sleeping" at the moment and I don't want to bother anyway. No matter how I broach anything, I'm at fault. So yes I'm in a "yeah fuck that" attitude presently.
Yes, better to not try than try and then really have regrets. Not wanting to "fight" anyway. With her dumping all blame on me though, kind of hard to say anything what doesn't cut me down farther. Nope, I'm just going to dig in and let it roll over. If I need to go to sanitarium, so be it.
Any other time i might suggest it. As it is right now, sorry but no. I'm not going to bother. I'm willing to meet in the middle, figure stuff out if we can. She's not budging from her spot. Whatever it is, it is apparently really bad. I say this not hysterically but having seen a lot of arguments, discussions about bad stuff. This is how they go. Eventually she'll grow tired of visiting me in the mental health sanitarium and talk, meet half way.

Yes, I know you prefer the medical route. I addressed my question to nadalama, because of her comments about soy products.
My favorite episode of King of the Hill:
Hank Hill to his son Bobby: Son, there comes a time each month when a woman is upset about everything, and men are 95 percent of everything. Tryin' to help only makes it worse. It's like a tire fire. The more you try to stop it or put it out, the worse it gets, so best to just grab a beer and let it burn.
Sorry for two things with you then.
1. Giving you impression I wholly buy everything modern Western medicine shovels out. I genuinely do not. I do though see some may have benefit.
2. Not noting you were replying to Bright Eyes. It just, ... went over my head like Peanut does with Heff Done Ham!
Sorry for both.

Ain't that the damn truth? My youngest daughter beats out the rest of the ladies in our family - when she "wants" to be mad, there isn't a damn thing you can do to make it better, you can't reason with her, and you can't make explanations. She's just going to stay that way until some bell goes off arbitrarily in her head and it's once again time to be not-mad. Could be minutes, could be weeks or months or even longer than that. It's almost impossible to get off her shit list, too, once you're on it.
*nods* But it's worse then she denies it. And she's a woman, knows this happens. But oh no, it's not her in any way, nope, nope, nope ...
And no I'm not an asshole chauvanistic pig of a man what goes round "ah, must be 'that' time." I actually grew up with a mother as a friend that told me "everything". *nodding* Everything.

No, I hadn't heard of that, and a close friend of mine may have use for it soon. She has a quite radical surgery scheduled later this month, and she is really worried about some of the effects. Since I'm not saying, and considering the subject matter, you can probably guess what surgery I mean.
Thanks for mentioning this. I'll surely keep it in mind in case she has troubles.

That is why I buy 10-12 at a time and sometimes 20~! I have seen it out of stock and had to go to other Dollar Trees to find it~! I fill a Plastic Tub just like you do but I think mine was a Maxwell House~! LOL

I confess. It was me. I drove to Long Island and bought ALL the Dollar Tree coffee.
Seriously, what do you suppose the shelf life is on that coffee? Any idea what's the oldest you've used and whether the coffee lost flavor or not?
When retirement time comes, we won't do these k-cups. At that point it becomes an unnecessary extravagance. And retirement time is coming up in about two years or less. Maybe I ought to get a tote and start accumulating Dollar Tree coffee.
It is Vacuum Packed so I suppose years. I just filled my can the other day and checked to see how many I had on the shelf and it was 18.
Right, of course, and I don't think I've got internalized woman hate if, as a woman, I recognize the effects of hormones on mood. On the other hand, the way women hold steady in the workplace on hormonal days can be considered somewhat heroic.
And Hank Hill was never known to be politically correct. He just said whatever came into his head.
Another one:
His wife Peg is in front of a mirror practicing some sort of chanting she has learned in a womens group: "Va va vagina. Vagina vagina".
Hank: Peg, hush. Do you want the whole neighborhood to hear you cussing?
