Parenting thoughts...

I have done a ton of research and put my kid in proper footwear to support healthy orthopedic development.

Where are my other shoe obsessed parents?

My kid asked me for crocs today and I almost spit out my water.... no no I don't buy you the cadillac shoes for nothing!

Sorry kid, but closed toe sandals with ankle support it is 🤣

Is it just me? Am I the only shoe nerd?

Yes why

Many here don’t love government and I totally get the sentiment.

But through first hand experience, the real evil IMO is consultants who take advantage of, and manipulate, well-meaning officials who have no business or street smarts. They are masters of deception and fraud who position themselves to be “needed” whenever public funding becomes available for a project.

Then they work to siphon those funds towards themselves while not providing any actual value in a truly sickening fashion with no regard for the taxpayer. Projects go over budget and way past schedule, designs are totally out of touch and get reworked over and over again while unnecessary services are billed month after month by the consultants. They steer the ship in circles from the shadows.

The officials hands are tied by a system hardened thru too many rules and are pressured to show *something* is being done. They’re not innocent either in many cases- but most people here don’t realize it’s actually very hard for them to commit conscious fraud. So a lot of it is a slow innocent drip as the consultants corner them like a boring but dominant chess player. They do this without committing anything that looks like a “gotcha” type crime. It’s systematic- like you’d need to RICO case every play to truly prove anything in court. It’s not even one coordinated group, it’s a whole damn industry of waste and fraud… like a decentralized ongoing racket.

DOGE isn’t perfect but it’s a step in the right direction… too bad it’s not being done at state and local level too (at least in CA). I can tell you- they need it too.

Good Morning☕

My son just asked me if I knew why poop was called poop.

I said I didn't.

He said say it, and then think about the shape your mouth makes when you say it...

That can't be a coincidence.

If you keep choosing the lesser of two evils, eventually you become evil. Doesn’t matter that someone else is “more evil”.

So, with all the bitcoiners having babies, we need some traveling Christian bitcoiner midwives to help us out.

I mean, we're all way to aware of the fiat system running healthcare in America, so I'm guessing midwives are the way to go.

Do you know of any of those out there yet, or do we need to start doing some recruiting??

If I started making leather gun holsters and put them on Nostr and etsy available for purchase in either Bitcoin, or fiat.

Would you all be interested in buying them if they were 75-125 USD?

We have free range cows in our neighborhood, and once we almost hit them as they were all gathered on the road in a deep wash, but I doubt whoever owns them would appreciate if we take one for ourselves 😅

The rabbits/hares and quails that run around might be less frowned upon, but no, we don't hunt.

lol

When I was single ready to be a wife, I heard a story of someone who had talked to a Jewish man who picked the spouse for his children. The kids had a say, but they weren't left on their own to get it done.

My parents had zero involvement, also, it only took 68 days from our first date until we got married, and he was only my boyfriend for 6 days until we were basically engaged (though I got the ring the night before the wedding when we first met in person) but we had God basically being our wingman, so it worked out well 😎

I really liked the idea of getting to see how my future husband interacts with other people, because if we like someone we tend to put our best foot forward, but other people tend to get the more real experience of a person.

Like the women who like a bad boy, because he's kind to her but treats others horribly. It's not gonna take long before he starts treating her the same way! But then she's already attached and it's harder to leave.

One of my friends had been away from home for maybe 1.5 years. When she came back, a guy had joined her church and became friends or at least friendly with her family members, and they liked him, and when they started interacting they realized they really liked each other too, and ended up getting married within about 6 months. It really helped her that her family had already seen the real him before he even knew she existed, because she could use them as a reference for his character.

So, yes, I think it's a great idea when the community gets involved. However, they need to be healthy people who can give honest observations rather than those who just blindly encourage dating because they wanna go to a wedding or they like the person, but the person doesn't actually suit the single person and what they want out of life. So, it's a balancing game.

I think it's super important to know oneself and what one wants out of life so they can sort potential partners accurately and quickly.

These are some of the things we'll be helping people figure out in our book.

I went to a VBS meeting after church today. We are doing a Chemistry themed Vacation Bible School. I will be doing the experiment devotions for the kids. I've already got some great ideas to improve the very good curriculum our church bought. I am so looking forward to this. Science and Bible, does it get any better than that?

So for guys the eternal question is do you prefer boobs, or butts when it comes to what you are first attracted to in a woman.

What is it that women are first attracted to?

Crotch and ass???

Pecs and biceps???

The world needs to know...

My husband has mentioned our upcoming book, "How to prepare yourself for marriage" to a few people, and we've gotten multiple single women go, "Oh, I wanna read that book!" Or "I might need to get that book," "Let me know when it comes out!"

Women want to be married, but in our current culture, they don't really know how to go about getting there.

I'm feeling the pressure to make sure the content will actually be super helpful and accurate, because being married to a good man that matches who I am and what I want out of life is better than anything I could have imagined while single!
