re: How the hell are people affording daycare

Check to see if your employer offers taking the amount out of your check PRE-TAX. Can't remember the name or term for it right off. But It helps a little to not have to pay tax on income on the yearly childcare amount.
re: Odd goings on at the Jerusalem Temple AD30 to AD70.

A good chapter to read is Hebrews 11 on faith. As you say, it's an inside conviction of something you cant see. Usually, it's eventually backed up by action. Life has a way of testing all of us. Our response, rather than the acual issue, is what is important. In ch 11, God tested Abraham. He came close to sacrificing his own son. God stopped him at the last minute. However, when God saw his faith and the level to which he was willing to go, He blessed Abraham and his descendants forever. As Believers, we become Abraham's descendant through faith in His Son, Jesus. If we respond in a lesser manner, He is faithful and gives us grace. Peter denied him 3 times just as Jesus foretold that he would. Peter said he'd never deny him. Sometimes, WE dont even know how we will respond till that moment arrives. After Peter denied him, he wept because he wasn't as strong as he thought. But Jesus still forgave him. He told Mary after He had risen, Go tell Peter. That basically tells you He forgave Peter and for him not feel shame because He overcame death. He meets us where we personally are, and we grow in his grace over time. It's that first step, however, that is important.

Very interesting from both a historical & spiritual viewpoint. It's also fascinating to watch Israel move closer to bring all this back with the red heifers, the Temple Institute, etc. One of the most amazing attributes of the Almighty that I'm just intrigued with, is His patience & grace. Now is the time of salvation, and with all the evil we see every where being revealed, He still wishes that none perish. His patience blows my mind. Hebrews basically states that if wrath and death was the result of the law, how much more with a better covenant. 2,000 years later, and the message is still the same. See your sin, turn and repent, believe in Jesus and His sacrifice for us, and walk as a new creation. Renew your mind in His Word. When you mess up, confess it to Him, and He is faithful in forgiving you.

Agree! People are so busy watching one hand, Dims vs Repubs, theyre clueless they're about to go over the waterfall as designed by elites. The tree of liberty is withered and will only be watered by the blood of patriots & tyrants. All of our govt branches have been undermined. Congress has become rich through kickbacks, insider trader and treason. They have accomplished nothing. The DOJ is useless. No arrests. The fox is guarding the henhouse.

Where is she parking it? Outside? Try another place in addition to traps, mothballs, etc. Up in NW Arkansas, it's the chipmunks. My neighbor spent $1200 on his Suburu to repair chewed wires, etc. He had an extermination company set traps, etc. and that helped. But the best deterrent was a stray tomcat he started feeding that slept under his back porch. That totally got rid of them. He first parked it in a different place, but they found it eventually. I bet he spent over $3K on car wiring repairs and extermination. But the stray cat was the cheapest!

Because the Fed continues to buy US Treasuries, i.e. printing money, thus diluting the USD and American savings. US Govt spends too much.

He's right. I predict a large drop of people filing taxes next April if these people aren't arrested. Bondi is useless. She needs to be fired. Congress us useless.

I was wondering the exact same thing. At the least, why not just have it blinking yellow? That should be easy to do.

I'll believe that when I see it. It's the way they did it, I think. It has to be a PITA if you live near or around the Lakes. They closed off everything almost all at once making it hard all around. I guess the thought was to get all the painful work needed done faster. But I can't see them finishing by next June or July.
re: Has anyone dealt with a sibling treating their own mother like shite due to their spouse?
Posted by 87PurpleandGold on 12/21/25 at 8:23 pm to shoelessjoe
Yes. My sister treated my Mother very badly before she passed, and it broke her heart. I saw it affect her in a bad way, and I started to see her decline afterwards. She also fell and broke her hip during that time. I took care of her while she had hospice nurses coming to the house. I called amd texted my sister many times and asked her to come and make things right because she wouldn't be here much longer. She never did. It was because her husband is a possessive amd controlling person. I saw what it did to my Mother and the rest of the family. I dont care who I married, they're not going to persuade me to treat either of my parents in a disrespectful or hateful manner. I do not know how she lives with herself. My Mother was a loving soul who wanted nothing more but to have family around her. My BIL did everything he could to alienate my sister from her Mother. And over the years, he succeeded. I pretty much dont have anything to do her her because of it. If someone treated me that badly, it is easier to forgive them. But when it is your Mother, it is much harder. I finally did after I called her 3 yrs later. But I still do see or spend time with her.

That bottom poster hangs in the men's bathroom at the Cafe Americain restaurant at the Goodwood shopping center. It's been there for years.
