In my system I needed a new burn barrel for my yard. After about 2 years the metal barrels become useless. I have a neighbor a couple of blocks away that sells used barrels he gets from industrial sites and he sells the barrels for $10 each. As I left today I saw him outside and told him I need a new barrel. He said it would be in my driveway when I returned. The promised barrel was there later and I went up and paid the man his $10.

Thanks for posting this, Gwen. I find common sense and knowledge here and have also been able to hear your voice. Grow your hair anyway that you want it to be. After all, it is your hair. You look good too. I'm beginning to grow a beard in my own hair color. A couple of women told me to do this and it never dawned on me that they wanted to see less of my face. As I age it is nice to not shave and cut the hell out of myself. As for marriage and relationships I'm seeing it your way and not wanting this again. The company is nice but I find that I have also become a recluse.

DenoPenno comments on Mar 2, 2024:

Delaying any of Trump's trials until after the election means that suddenly the newly elected Trump cannot be charged with anything. This is what Trump and his lawyers want. It should not be what anyone with even a clue of what is going on would want. Democracy or dictatorship? This time Trump is going for revenge and he cares only about himself.

News of any kind always does. Rather than talk about how this is all lies, try to disprove it by using your own data about the situation.

So ya wanna go to heaven & sit with your god?

DenoPenno comments on Feb 28, 2024:

Keep in mind that I once studied to be a Pentecostal minister. A few years ago I woke up. Christians love the idea that the Jews were gods chosen people but few know what that means. They were chosen to spread the message (according to them) about god and what this god wanted. Most of our world now is taken in by this and not many have logical thinking. Jumping right in to the heaven ideas people carry, most believers make it up..The bible itself talks of a heaven with walls, gates, etc.(Maybe your god wants to keep you inside.) Consider also that what you do there according to the bible is sing gods praises forever and ever. Hey, wait a minute. What about that big family reunion and heaven being about humans living forever? God says nothing about that in his book. Now let's get into the great White Thrown judgement. Most Evangelicals think this has to happen in real time and not in a twinkling of an eye. Believers claim that we have all the time needed because we will be in eternity. Big problem here. How long has mankind been on Earth? Surely this judgement would take at least that much time. I think that time as we know it would almost have to be stopped for this to happen. Exactly what is eternity? There are so many other things wrong with the whole idea of sitting at god's table and everything that goes with it but this will work for starters. The entire idea of what our bible says is close to being ridiculous when you read and study it. The men that wrote it did not live at the same time and did not know each other.

Knowing each other would have been impossible because of the time frame involved. What did Daniel or Isaiah tell us about Jesus? Nothing,--because Jesus was not born yet.

I did a rain dance complete with words that I cannot print here, then told my pharmacy I would never pay that amount and told them and my doctors that it is me myself who is in charge of my healthcare. The expensive med went back and I now have my Metformin again.

They want Christianity taught in public schools and are too blind to see that if this is adopted it will make all religions taught in public schools. With no time to do this, it means religions would have to be brushed over very briefly.
