How would you protect your animals from nuclear fallout?

I understand Liz....and part of me feels the same...I'd rather go home to be with the Lord than stay here to suffer and watch others suffer....I'm sorry for your struggles but as hard as they are, I believe they are purposed....you are stronger than you think! I know this is off topic but I'd like to share my experience with you and anyone who cares to read it.....

A decade ago I took care of both of my parents at home until they passed....both died from cancer....it was so hard and I felt exhausted and defeated, like I had lost my purpose in life after they passed.

Then 7 years ago I was diagnosed with a rare and inoperable brain tumor, and was given 5 years to live only "IF" chemo and radiation could extend my life a bit...surgery was out of the question because the tumor spread throughout my brain like tentacles from the main lump....2 years after my diagnosis when all treatments failed, I was put into a nursing home on palliative care, and while I waited to die there, drugged up on copious amounts of pain killers and seizure meds, I shuffled around the hallways with my walker to visit other patients, to keep them company and make them feel loved, or just pray for/with them if that's what they wanted, and most did no matter what they did or did not believe in.

Then one day the Lord spoke to me....not audibly but in my thoughts with His still, small voice, and said "It's time to leave here, you have work to do" I knew it was Him because it sure wasn't my thought to leave!

I convinced my case worker that I had somewhere to go live where I would be cared for for my remaining days, but in actuality I was talking about living in my SUV with the Lord as my sole caregiver because that's all I had.... and to my surprise without further explanation, she agreed to discharge me....highly unusual and against protocol!

I spent the next year travelling/camping out in my SUV which was a huge challenge in my condition (couldn't take much pain meds when I had to drive) but all the while I used the opportunity to minister to, and encourage other people I met who also lived in their vehicles or relied on homeless shelters to survive.

Ok a lot happened during that time... too much to type ....but I emailed a Pastor about a business opportunity that I saw on ytube and he was also street healer... he said call me in the morning so we can pray together. So I did, and the instant after he finished praying and we said "Amen", all of my pain was gone, I was sobered up from the morphine, I could walk normally, and the titanium plug in my skull from the initial tumor biopsy sunk into my head about a half an inch.... the tumor in my brain disappeared and I still have that indentation in my skull....THANK YOU JESUS! Anyway, He then ordained me and now I am a non-denominational Christian minister.... I met my husband through a ministry, and here I am now....living out my calling while preparing to help others when they are in despair! I hope this encourages you to press on and not give up....whatever happens, you were born for such a time as this, and if you would like me to pray you as well just let me know.... I would be honored!

Powerful & Inspiring story of your life, thank you so much for sharing it. God Bless You!!!

It's interesting how life plays out, not just our own lives, but in general. Kids & elderly can sit a spell & talk, but the "productive years" we run around so busy working just trying to make a living, for many, that's what most of our memories consist of, 20s, 30s 40s 50s & 60s, on that treadmill, the merry-go-round of work work work.

When cancer forced me to slow down during treatment, I reflected on that, wanted to change my life going forward. The way society & life is set up, you either bust your butt, thinking you're accomplishing, ( but really getting nowhere), or sit on your butt, poor, worried & starving. Either way, having a meaningful life balance can be very challenging.

I can't believe I've been on this planet as long as I have & pretty much life is still as much of a struggle as it ever was. Having someone to share it...doesn't make it any easier, either. In fact, then you've got someone else to worry about!

All we can do is the best we can. We aren't perfect & life never plays out the way we think it will. EVERYONE gets their dose of Bullcrap in life. The best we can do is just try to handle it with as much grace as we can muster & try to put a smile on someone else's face & always try to come from a place of Love & gratitude, cuz however bad things get, it could be worse! When we finally leave this life, at least we can know we tried to make our little world & the few lives we did manage to touch a little better for having known us. I always turn to humor, too. I believe it has kept me somewhat sane, as sane as a crazy chicken lady can be.

When I stand before the Lord someday, I hope He will say, You did alright kid.

Chronic pain & permanent damage from either the illness itself, or the treatments of such illnesses, really poses a challenge. I can honestly say that caring for loved ones dying ripped my heart up, that was more difficult than facing anything else. You chose to do something wonderful & I can only imagine how difficult that was, but you persevered.
May God continue to Bless & Smile on you!

True dat, but AI monitors absolutely everything anyway....you don't even have to type it on the device to have certain words flagged.
For example, smart devices monitor us speaking in our homes.... sometimes when my husband and I speak about sensitive topics we speak like Peter Brady did when he was impersonating Humphrey Bogart on the Brady Bunch.... "Poke chawpsh and appo shawsh, gee thats shwell"

We don't really believe we are actually fooling the sophisticated AI/algorithms... but we have a good laugh about it anyway

Yeah, see?
I sometimes imitate Edward G Robinson, that tough guy accent, "Yeah see" & I always get a laugh. Anyway, one time, I guess my phone overheard me...I nearly jumped outta my skin when men's voices came from the other room...my friend's eyes got real wide & she was speechless, looking at me terrified...we were in my house, just 2 gals having coffee in the kitchen & those men's voices came from my bedroom! I cautiously went in there, saw my phone on the night stand charger...that darn phone was talking!
It was a movie clip, mafia men talking with Edward G Robinson.
There are times this phone gadget really freaks me out!

Yup...now we have the "diesel shortage" to further collapse the supply chain, farming, etc....please, everyone get what you need ASAP!

Sad thing is there's plenty of fuel. This propaganda is used for one reason, to up the prices. Remember the 1970s gas shortage? Hogwash! Oil tankers were siting, full, in the bays, dudes that worked on ships & docks were being told to just sit there & not dock to deliver. How ticked off do ya think a dude that's been at sea can be, when he can see the dock of home, but isn't allowed to go there? They were angry & talking about it, but of course what they had to say never made it to the news. It's just the same old crapola being dished out. The powers that be, do it because they can.

Let me add, if you're in an area that could survive, it is wise to try & be as prepared as you could be. Being just due west, not far from Wash DC & right down the road from Dover AFB, my place would be snuffed out in a nanosecond.

Nuclear fallout is one thing, but not many are talking about what a serious, massive solar flare or CME could do, & the Sun is a very active place, no one has to push any button, it happens, we just haven't been in the direct pathway of a colossal event...yet.

This event was like the Sun shooting a tiny spit ball, that mostly ricochet off earth

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_Event

Theorists claim Venus & Mars magnetic fields & atmospheres were done in by extreme solar activity, that they once had life.
After mapping cosmic radiation levels at various depths on Mars, researchers have concluded that over time, any life within the first several meters of the planet's surface would be killed by lethal doses of cosmic radiation.

Sorry don't mean to go off topic, ADD at work again

I hadn’t seen that

 

[Liz Birdlover]

I hadn’t seen that

Yeah there's always something to worry about, right? I used to worry a lot in my teens and 20s. I guess I'm at the point now I just enjoy day-by-day, I especially treasure time with my flock. No matter what kind of day I've had I can always count on them to put a smile on my face.

AMEN SISTER! So eloquently stated....made me think of what Paul said....

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.


(BTW, after I was healed, my youngest son was healed of autism....hallelujah!)

I just went from weeping while reading your last post, to cracking up at this one
Thanks for that!

It is sad when you think that out of all creatures inhabiting the earth, humans are the only ones that pollute their own planet so badly in some areas, that they're toxic & no longer support life, humans are the only ones that consistently fight wars, many abuse others as well as themselves, many are greedy, humans constantly change the environment to suit their needs instead of living in harmony, humans seem to enjoy drama, murder & mayhem...wow. Well, good thing Not all humans are identical in these negative ways. I think as long as there are folks around the world that post cute photos of baby chicks, and more folks that love to see such photos, we will be OK.

“Wars & rumors of wars…”

I’m sorry to say it’s going to get worse before it gets better.

The writings of the sages make an important point: faith must be steadfast and true for survival.

And the faithful must come together and uplift one another.
