    Is anyone still backing the worldclass conartist? We're unravelling fast! Trump's the most pernicious, sociopathic, deceitful and abusive President in history, a shallow-minded sack of $hit seeking revenge on anyone who calls out his daily disgusting bull$hit. Maybe the fellow enablers are...

    Covid Close To You

    The Tylenol link makes sense to me. Probably there are many influences that interfere with the life force and lead to disabilities.

    A local ticktok "minister" exposed a "come to Jesus" call with Barron Trump in the middle of the night: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/melania-trump-feels-betrayed-after-maga-pastor-exposes-son-barron-s-religious-awakening-this-isn-t-about-politics/ar-AA1RXj5j

    Covid Close To You

    This is a good interview with a former pharma worker who had mouth lesions/cancer and looked for remedies: I go to two Bible studies usually on Saturday morning locally. One of the members a family friend said his adult daughter had a breast cancer biopsy recently, I can't imagine the...

    It's especially bad in the NY area. I used to call in to Bob Grant, actually a stage name. Pretty much the same bs as the current administration. WOR and WABC, propaganda bs, used to be good stations but they've prostituted themselves to the hilt. Just wait until the Epstein saga blows...

    I follow Lew Rockwell, Zero Hedge, Legal AF, Daily Beast and other sites for contrarians and to shake out the reality. I got into the bullion and numismatic business over 25 years ago. I don't have a lot now but if you're going to work hard all your life, you have to diversify and protect your...

    Seriously? I'll just assume the above post was not. Step 2: “We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.” On the off the grid living, if you can afford solar panels you can have a high quality of life and circle of comfort.

    There is no harm in going to meetings as the only requirement for attending is the desire to stop drinking. I have a thick skin, but don't want to deal with a lot of bs, as the last meeting they had a crazy lady who wasn't working the program as a speaker. There are plenty of good meetings...

    I drink quality IPAs usually, probably too much from time to time. A friend asked me why? I said it takes the edge off of things late in the day. I don't want to need something like that, but enjoy it and be able to say when I have the urge, "no, not today".

    A statistic is that only 10% of regular alcohol drinkers become "alcoholic". AA calls it an allergic reaction as the alcohol hits critical mass in the body and the cells rebel. Many try AA and leave it finding it too harsh. There are many reasons to not like AA meetings, drunkalogs with...

    One of the best climbers I've known found religion, a little too conservative and fringe for my taste as I went to the church too where I met him in the early 80s. Mike was a really nice and friendly man, did exceptional work. His marriage had fallen apart due to his wife's infidelity...

    Bid that tree!

    I've seen and heard of enough clear cutting operations that were irrational. Years ago I had a property in Concord, VT on a class 4 road where a prior clear cutting operation toward the CT river created a lot of anger and controversy. I'd hope there would be more conscientious workers who'd...

    Awareness has to be constant with power equipment and accurate assessment of condition. I've known a few that got disabled using wood splitters, very likely incompetence and alcohol were implicated, guys taking a break on the weekend between football games, two guys on a splitter--a real set...

    I've been with tree work professionals when they've been impaired, one company owner was privy to wine coolers after work and had a near heat stroke downing the alcohol after we'd finished the job. A worker working ropes was a known alcoholic who did not get help and few would hire him, but on...

    Just thought of this as a topic--support groups, whether 12 step groups or church groups, etc.. I believe these are invaluable to try to maintain balance, health and address personal issues confidentially, as there are things that could be hard to talk about otherwise. I can't imagine a more...
