Sharing from a FB friend:

Laughter is still the best Medicine!
I used to be able to do cartwheels. Now I tip over putting on my underwear.
Hate it when I see an old person and then realize we went to high school together.

I told my wife she should embrace her mistakes… so she hugged me.
My wife says I only have 2 faults. I don’t listen and something else….
At my funeral, take the bouquet off my coffin and throw it into the crowd to see who is next.
I thought growing old would take longer.
I came, I saw, I forgot what I was doing. Retraced my steps, got lost on the way back, now I have no idea what’s going on.
The officer said, “You drinking?” I said, “You buying?” We just laughed and laughed…. I need bail money.

Day 12 without chocolate. Lost hearing in my left eye.
Scientists say the universe is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. They forgot to mention morons.

The adult version of “head, shoulders, knees and toes” is “wallet, glasses, keys and phone.”
A dog accepts you as the boss… a cat wants to see your resume.
Oops…. did I roll my eyes out loud?
Life is too short to waste time matching socks.

Wi-fi went down for five minutes, so I had to talk to my family. They seem like nice people.
If you see me talking to myself, just move along. I’m self-employed; we’re having a staff meeting.
I won’t be impressed with technology until I can download food.
Some people call me crazy. I prefer ‘happy with a twist’.
My doctor asked if anyone in my family suffers from mental illness. I said, “No, we all seem to enjoy it.”

I really don’t mind getting old, but my body is having a major fit.
Camping: where you spend a small fortune to live like a homeless person.
Project Manager. Because Miracle Worker isn’t an official job title.
I told my wife I wanted to be cremated. She made me an appointment for Tuesday.
The world’s best antidepressant has 4 legs, a wagging tail and comes with unconditional love.

Love is how excited your dog gets when you come home.
I’ve reached the age where my train of thought often leaves the station without me.
If you’re happy and you know it, it’s your meds.
Hope this finds you in Good Health and Good Spirits.

  2. great article about “illegal alien sweatshops”
    entire article
    The abject cruelty of the human trafficking of illegal aliens for cheap labor is on full display once again via a series of criminal indictments in Virginia. The case provides another real-world example of US business owners recreating the barbaric days of indentured servitude in an average American town.

    On Jan. 31, Magnolia Cleaning Services co-owner George William Evans, 68, of Midlothian, a western suburb of Richmond, pleaded guilty to federal fraud and human trafficking charges. Three co-defendants pleaded not guilty in December.

    “At the direction of Evans and his coconspirators, Magnolia Cleaning Services exploited undocumented noncitizens to work long hours in poor working conditions. In some cases, employees were threatened with deportation, physical harm, and harm to their families if they refused to work as directed,” a release from the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia states.

    The entire operation for this one local company was startlingly elaborate, hinting at a thriving underworld able to connect business owners with smugglers and the assorted “services” they provide. “Between the first quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2022, the business’s wage records reflect approximately 121 employees with alleged invalid or mismatched Social Security Numbers and wage payments of more than $1.2 million to these employees,” the Attorney’s Office continued.
    Real People Hurting Other Real People

    Williams was “shift supervisor” at Magnolia while his co-owner and co-defendant Jeffrey Dean Vaughan, 64, of Williamsburg served as “managing director,” McClatchy News Service reports. Williams’ title implies he played a hands-on role in the labor abuses. In other words, this American business owner got a close-up look at the human beings he was maltreating solely in the name of individual greed.

    Ana Patricia Landaverde, 47, a “manager” at the company, is accused of doing just that. Other “migrant” (a tiresome euphemism in this new world of modern slavery) workers say Landaverde personally threatened and abused a 13-year-old girl who was unlawfully employed at the company.

    The girl, “who was brought to the U.S. as a migrant, was forced to work at a Virginia laundry facility every night while going to school during the day, federal prosecutors say,” McClatchy relates. “The facility’s manager, who she lived with, threatened to have her deported if she refused to work – and promised she would be killed upon returning to El Salvador, court documents show. The girl had to pay debts to the manager, $325 in monthly rent, as well as up to $300 each month for food. She was one of many migrants forced to work at the business for years, prosecutors say.”

    This child was literally treated as equipment by this American business, along with the washers and dryers in the laundry facility.

    “Those in charge of the business, including [Landaverde]… banned the 13-year-old from having friends or contacting anyone besides Magnolia Cleaning Services, according to court documents,”

    Magnolia was clearly plugged into a shadow sub-culture in America today that feeds off the commercial exploitation of illegal aliens. “A fourth defendant, who has several aliases including ‘Rodrigo Sis Reyes,’ is alleged to have acted as an illegal supplier of fraudulent identification documents for the [illegal aliens], such as permanent resident cards and social security cards,” WTKR-TV in Hampton Roads reports.

    Such a thriving network is the inevitable end result of the simpler days of local employers driving their pickup trucks into the parking lot of a 7-11 circa 1997 and rounding up a herd of “day laborers.” Do those people today understand the grave harm they have done?

    On Nov. 14, Liberty Nation documented the case of Packers Sanitation Services, a meatpacking facility cleaning company accused of employing dozens of children in life-threateningly dangerous jobs. On Dec. 21, Liberty Nation spotlighted an investigation into Hyundai and Kia. Several Alabama plants that supply parts to the two major-brand car makers are suspected of employing child laborers. Remarkably, progressive sources frequently best reveal the nightmare, all while supporting the factors responsible for it being possible in the first place.

    Ann Lopez, an activist for “migrant workers” in her role as executive director of the Center for Farmworker Families in California, on Nov. 29 related the routine sexual violence endured by female illegal alien farm workers. She specifically stressed that their status as illegal aliens and their desperation to keep their jobs made these women and young girls especially vulnerable.

    New Banner Illegal ImmigrationLopez, writing at Lookout Santa Cruz, a local community news site, also noted that these illegal workers “are also regularly exposed to environmental toxins in the form of pesticides – which our community’s agricultural giants regularly use on crops, particularly strawberries, blackberries and raspberries.”

    “One family I know with a 7-year-old daughter with leukemia makes trips to Stanford every month for treatment,” Lopez wrote. “The child takes powerful daily cancer drugs. The disease is stealing her childhood and adding untold pain to her family’s already hardscrabble life.”

    “Another family has a teen boy whose left ear never developed. One single mother who worked during the pregnancies of her two youngest sons now has two ADHD boys who are often literally out of control. She works in the field all day and comes home to chaos regularly.”

    All this human suffering, yet the political left still has staked a claim to the moral high ground on the issue of illegal immigration that is demonstrably ludicrous on its face. The questions that remain to be asked: How much more misery, pain, and death must there be before the new sweatshops are dismantled? How many more children’s still-developing bodies and souls must be crushed before the bitter fruits of massive unchecked illegal immigration are honestly acknowledged?

  6. Dang, that’s hard work! I’m having your layers -of-ice problem on my front porch, Pat – 3 separate layers that froze/thawed/froze. I was able to get enough off that I can at least open the front door now. Luckily, I had put snow melt along the line where my garage door comes down so it went right up. However, now the wind has blown a 4′ drift across my driveway….maybe if I put it in 4WD and gun the hell out of it…..might take some back-and-forth action a bit, tho….

  15. I am adding a short daily prayer to the board. I would invite each of you, if you wish, to also add one or maybe two of your own liking. I do not want to stifle anyone but please limit yourself to one or two religious postings. here’s one I found that I liked.
