I have used with limited success with these types:
I politely inquire if Jesus guides their daily life. Often it is yes. Does that include the Beatitudes? If puzzled look = fraud.
I also confirm if they believe he can show up at anytime again? “Yes”
Are you following his words?

Cow Parsnip never ceases to amaze me on how fast it can grow in days. Similar to our Salmon Berry species.
Both sure do their job securing disturbed soils.

It is growing heavy this season in Sitka due to the extra wet wx. Stopped a young guy the other day (new to area) who was voraciously weed whacking the stuff. Quite covered in the pulp. God(s) help him if he took a whiz before cleaning up…

I would fully agree. Spent a good chunk of my adult life earning my keep in the woods of the PNW, SE Alaska & oceans.
Quiet observation has shown me w/o question that land & sealife critters are far better than us at life. Full respect for them all. Aspire to join them given current events.

Fully agree. Could something bad happen to me? Maybe. I have family to consider. But an equal consider is standing strong for my family, & for all people in this world. I refuse to bend, I have zero fear of these asshats. Bring it on. FAFO. We outnumber them by huge margin. No fear. Know fight.

Ah yes, the red rolls for cap guns. The ones that you’d use a giant rock and smash the whole roll for extra bang.
And I wonder why now a days I need herring eggs. I mean hearing aids..

Not men. Under the cover; wimps, sad sacks, dick heads, losers. We both know if yarded out to sea working a breakneck pace or dragging their ass into the steep backcountry they are the types that fold like a cheap ass chair, crying for Mommy. They all need a serious ass kicking x 10.

If memory serves me, late 60’s.
50 cents earned from not regular chores (no pay) but from extra ones typically produced:
(5) Bazooka bubble gum, (2) jaw breakers (1) black licorice rope and (1) small tube of Daisy Gun BB’s.
We had true “Dime Stores” A paradise if you had a nickle to a dollar.

Full agree. I am out of “F’s” to give. Zero empathy left. Have spent my entire adult life and even prior, taking each day to do right for others and this planet.

Classic large pupper results. For many of us there is no anger, just laughs & hugs for the guilt ridden soul. In light of all that is going on right now, our dogs & pets truly are rescuing us.

Turbo zoomies maybe? with too much amperage & too high of a landing on the couch. Your pupper experience & expertise shows: No potted plants near the hazard zone. We learned that the hard way with our bulldozer built yellow lab….

Just her terms killed me - in a good way after a hell week:
The Landing Strip
The Triangle….
I probably would be laughing & screaming all in one at her place.
Might take a raincheck for now.
Peace & good health from us to you and family.

Thank you Arctic Goddess for this post. I really needed this type of humor today. Seriously.
She will do well at her business. Her descriptive writing skills certainly “shed” new light on the subject!

I am hoping that one or all of these women move upwards in our State:
Maxine Dibert,
Andi Story,
Rebecca Himschoot.
They have the skills & vision we need.

Fireworks by Sitka’s finest were closer & metrics louder. Our 16yo mostly deaf shitzu/cockapoo was terrified. I had to wrap him up in my arms with a blanket on the couch till about 1am. Just not right for that kind of terror.
