I’m sure most of you have heard about the Indigenous Resistance Against Carbon report, which revealed that projects has effectively cut 12 percent of the annual carbon pollution of the United States and Canada.
I have complicated feelings about this number, but it has me thinking again about something I want to share. I’d like us to reflect on a tendency that activists often have where we cheer on less privileged people participating in struggles because they have no choice, and then leave them to it.
Climate activists pursuing a just transition are going to be better about this than most, if only because they’re aware of the problem, but time and time again I’m made uncomfortable by how our privilege makes abandonments inevitable.
Even when we travel to the frontlines and put our bodies on the line, something we consider an act of great commitment, we’re there for a few days, maybe a week, and we then head back home to our day jobs and comfortable homes and pursue forms of activism that, if nothing else, probably aren’t going to put us in a prison with moldy meatballs.
This problem isn’t unique to Indigenous Water Protectors, as we do it to youth activists too. Recall when Greta Thunberg made her first big splash, and people were so impressed and said that the young people were giving them hope…and essentially started counting on them to solve the problem.
But in the case of Indigenous activists, it’s much worse because, when you get right down to it, their fundamental struggle isn’t even really against climate change, but against a 500-year campaign of genocide. It just so happens that that campaign of genocide is also murdering the entire planet.
I worry that we’re doing to them what so many people did to Greta, where we admire their strength and courage without also aspiring to it, leaving them to carry not just their own burdens but ours as well.
I’d like us all to think about what, if anything, we can personally do to bridge this gap, because I’m sitting in my warm and cozy home, in a very comfortable chair, writing these words on my fancy gaming computer and, right now, that doesn’t feel okay.

age" user wants and SD card interface for the EP using also a "real" EXDOS and using tons of drive letters at the same time.Average users use a disk browser sw for select game :-) I will be modify (or write) one for display Volume Labels with the drive letters, then the drives looks as directory, for example DEMOS, GAMES_A-B, UTIL, etc
I can't get small SRAM easily --Somewhere I have a lot of (least 40-50) W24257/W24512 (or compatible) SRAMs which are saved from 486 boards at about 15 years ago :-)
Fantastic! I look forward to seeing the new super-fast Enterprise computers which come out of this. May even over-clock one myself... ()Formerly you mentioned the planning of a new storage device for the EP, with an SD card solution.
I was also thinking I may add 512KB RAM and 512KB FLASH to the board and possibly other things like a real time clock. The RAM and ROM would make this a nice external expansion for people who have an unexpanded EP64.Yes, I think the ROM is very important, because the EXDOS software have to be somewhere in the machine, and if your expansion will be in the cartridge instead of inside the machine body, then there will not be place for EXDOS.
Or maybe in that situation, when I can use your "everythinginacartridge" expansion on an original, unmodified EP, with XXX+128K memory,Or, the cartridge would be compatible with every single configuration ... with an original unmodified configuration  ().Okay, I read again in the hungarian topic, and I see that the IDE controller is an EXDOS extension.
Yes, Saint, on the expansion bay you have all the posibilities, not at the cartridge bay. But could be nice to find a good use for that little boxes that gave to the EP that look of expandability....Yes, It would be the mega ultimate goodness, but maybe the cartridge port itself is designed for ROM(RAM) type of extensions, and unfortunately not for any extension we can imagine ... :(
How does EXOS work with extension ROMs? Does it look for EXOS_ROM as the first 8 bytes, and if they exist, jump to that ROM on bootup?Shortly: yes.
Also, is it possible to page in a ROM and read its contents easily from BASIC? It would be handy if I could program the ROM with just some text, and try and read it on the EP to see if I've made any wiring mistakes. :roll:10 S=4
Has anyone tried a 29C020 (or other 29Cxxx) with the EP?Yes, and no problem..Yeah, pulldown resistors was a thought I had on the data lines, but they shouldn't really be needed. While the bus is floating the logic level doesn't actually matter, and as soon as something else drives the bus then the logic level changes. It does seem a little odd that the high impedance state of the 29Cxxx keeps the logic level high like that, though.
As I understand, Wifi SD cards work as an access point in which, once connected, you can read or write the files inside the card. Thus, is not the EP which operates the Wifi side, it works by itself.Yes, I'm agreed,
And finally which direction did you choose for the connection ? Will it be an inside expansion, like the RAM expansion, or a right side expansion port device ? (Zozo said the cartridge placement direction is dropped.)I plan to do both an internal expansion and a plug in expansion port card. I like the idea of a single card which will allow any Enterprise (128 or 64) to run any software designed for 128K RAM or more. So this means it has to be either internal or on the expansion port to give the additional RAM at F8-FB. Ter. :)
()
using a CPLD to handle the SPI interface?Hef I build the internal expansion first then you can still use EXDOS or any other storage device on the expansion port to help test and code.Zozo probably has expansion port splitter cards, with what you can connect multiple expansion port carts to the EP ...
So then the Wifi SD not a Wifi for the host, just a dual access (local/network) storage?OJust read, no write?
You bring good news Saint. Sorry for usurp some this thread...
The board layout is more or less finished now,I miss the 5V power parts :oops:
I miss the 5V power parts :oops:
Now you are free to interchange files, delete, rename, etc, between the card and your computer.It's cool, but the main problem remains. It can be only FAT16 and EP can use only FAT12. And no vice versa.
We can wait a little...
EP can use only FAT12Currently! :-)
I don't know how to do a FAT12 partition on that SD card.Most easy way write out VHD files to the card.
Currently! ()Is not it a slightly big chunk of meat ?
I have used "MiniTool partition" for FAT16 but it doesn't have a FAT12 option.All Windows partition program stupid :evil:
Is not it a slightly big chunk of meat ?On TVC VT-DOS done by Pal Sebestyen. Now needed to combine the modified routines with the EXDOS. The main difference: on VT-DOS FAT12 routines are completly replaced, and all floppy routines droped and replaced by directly with SD routines.
One question: the final version will be available with standard edge connection, for use with existing expansion?I could provide a bus bridge compatible version if this is preferred, yes. I' In the original design I have been thinking about your "average" Enterprise user who doesn't have things like the bus bridge or other devices, and just has an Enterprise. I think this describes most Enterprise owners in the UK. :)
DoDon't remove the regulator, and the edge connection same as the machine connection (2x33pin, 9V present). Look at card designed by Gyula Mészáros, this is the Hungarian standard :-)Ok, not as flexible as mine. :)
 :)
Hi Saint, just wondering if you could do both versions with one PCB? Could the bottom row of holes of the edge connector actually be in the ”fingers” of a card edge? So don't fit the edge connector and you get a card edge, or fit the edge connector and ignore the card edge fingers? (You mentioned the possibility of making the PCB extend below the edge connector so it was at the same level as the base of the Enterprise...this might help.) Just an idea...I haven't looked at the dimensions or electrical connections!t.I didn't realise lay-flat was an option - I assumed you wanted a vertical one! In that case


The ‘first proclamation’. At the same time there has to be co which instructs us in the deposit of the faith.
Frequent Proclamation of the Kerygma – We should inviteby proclaiming the Kerygma clearly and simply.
Materials and Methods Matter – Simple, transferable evangelistic tools allow people to bring Christ to others in a clear and repeatable way.
Examining these four considerations, we see quite clearly that CCO has a special calling and has been gifted by the Holy Spirit specifically in relation to the first and last pillar – Initial Proclamation and Missionary Discipleship. The Holy Spirit has raised up CCO to be a catalyst for the whole Church in these areas. For the Church to be strong, all four pillars must be strong. But at this precise moment in our history two pillars – need strengthening otherwise we risk a great collapse of the whole building.

Many of the islands offer public docking; a small fee is charged for overnight use. The shoreline contains some historical sites, such as the many lighthouses throughout the islands.  Fishing on Lake Superior is a popular activity for both boaters and non-boaters. The lake holds several species of trout and some species of salmon.  In seasons when the water is warmer visitors can catch fish from the shore in water as shallow as ten feet.
Hunting is permitted on some islands for certain periods of the year.  Game include white-tail deer, black bear, grouse, and other small game. As white-tailed deer have become abundant in recent years, deer hunting opportunities have been plentiful, although the logistics of hunting on the islands can be difficult. Hunting black bears is limited to two islands, and tspecific areas.

Montefalco's oldest wine estate, established in 1884 and totalling 120 ha. It has been in the Pambuffetti family since 1954. The name means "chase away the devil" because a local Exorcist used their Sagrantino. With what success I don't know!
All maturation is in oak. Dark ruby, plummy. The palate feels particularly weighty and powerful. It benefits from decanting and time in the glass. Tannins are polished to a dense but still impenetrable sheen. It still feels youthful, as tastings of 2008 and 1998 proved. Not for drinking for another five years, so be patient!
Giampaolo Tabarrini is a force of nature. Extrovert, expert and thoughtful. Full of ideas and delightful company. The question is, have his wines adopted his personality or has he adopted theirs?
MSS "Fidenzio", 2012, 15%. Matured for 18 months in big oak before 18 months in the bottle. Massive, brooding purplish colour. Aromatic herbs, blackberry and plum. Big alcohol here, and so just a hint of warmth, though grace in style. Sweet plum and fig fruit and a long length. Excellent wine and great value. This wine won Tre Biccheri from Gambero Rosso for the first time in 2018. Tudernum is, therefore, the first Umbrian coop to receive this. What a way to celebrate your 60th birthday!
Pairing up Montefalco Sagrantino with food doesn't require you be a carnivore, but it sure helps!
This year, I'll be serving this wine at Christmas Dinner because this wine will easily stand up to all those strong flavours. In the depths of winter and with Christmas approaching, it'll be a perfect time to drink Montefalco Sagrantino!
These wineries were visited courtesy of the Montefalco Consorzio, in Autumn 2018. I look forward to returning, with other Montefalco wineries like Adanti, Paolo Bea, Còlpetrone and Bellafonte on my must-visit list!


Next I directly wired A/C heating elements to the outlet plug and left on for 12+ hours, and saw no change in freezer temperature (~56degrees). Called David @ RV Cooling Units who was very helpful and verified the steps I had taken, and suggested a replacement cooling unit. They are a little over $1000 shipped. (New refrigerator you might ask, what’s the cost… over $2000). Replacing the cooling unit is basically all of the guts on the back of the refrigerator.
Resolution: We lived out of a cooler for about a week. Then on a whim, I left the fridge on propane while we were travelling and found frost in the freezer. After a day or so, it eventually got back to appropriate temperatures in the fridge. We are monitoring closely now but things seem fine. There is a case where the ammonia can crystallize from boiling off (not being level), and movement of the remaining liquid (basically, water) can re-dissolve the ammonia, so crossing our fingers!
Symptom: Fan for Dash (normal automobile type) Air conditioner not coming on.
Diagnosis process: Spent an hour or so futilely trying to locate the under-dash fuse box. No, the fuse is not under the hood where many fuses are, nor is it in the coach where several other fuses are. Eventually found a fourth set of fuses and relays under the hood.
Eventually figured out that the blower motor relay was engaging under the dash, so after much consternation, removed the passenger side dash.
Diagnosis process: Swapped rear start capacitor with front to verify that was the problem. Found same melted motor starter relay as before. Fired up the front A/C to validate.
Symptom: Nothing 12V works unless the RV is running or plugged in.
Diagnosis process: First suspected generator, but after running front A/C plus microwave plus hair dryer, determined generator was fine. Significant research on motorhome A/C units resulted in three possible suspects: 1) Compressor (expensive) 2) electronics (expensive) 3) capacitor and/or relay (not expensive). The compressor wiring was checked and there were no shorts, the capacitors were removed and checked per this procedure. The starting capacitor that helps the compressor kick off was toast and the relay that kicks it on was melted.
Bedroom Cupboard 6/15/12
Symptom: Storage cupboard above bed not staying closed.
Diagnosis Process: Several sources indicated there are only a few different keys for these types of locks.
Resolution: After trying every possible key in the dealership, the service manager at Poulsbo RV said “We sold you this RV? And you didn’t get the key” – I said “Yes”. He said, “Ok, just take the lock to this locksmith, have him make you two keys and put it on our account”.
Cost: $0.00 </s> If your kiddo likes Good Night, Gorilla, I suggest you freecycle (or maybe just recycle) the zoo propaganda and pick up a secondhand copy of Anthony Browne‘s Gorilla instead.

How many of you still practice the WAVE when you pass another Vette? Looks like to me it is dropping off.
The "Corvette Wave" to other Corvettes is a nice friendly gesture. Been doing it for decades; plan on continuing! Not a snotty thing, but a friendly hello to fellow Corvette owners; even a short video clip (made during C6 generation).
I've been waving ever since I had my C-3 even though I haven't driven one in many years, Just a habit I guess.
There's always self-absorbed A-holes that don't wave back. And as for falling off a bit, wouldn't be surprised. Just another indication of the overall erosion of civility in this country, like people that don't say 'thank you' for a holding a door for them, or people who don't acknowlege you when you give them the courtesy of allowing them to pull in front of you in a line of traffic.
I bet the "Wave" started in '53, when one of the other 299 owners of those white convertibles , saw one another. Let's not lose the "Wave". I waved in '75-'80 and will start to wave to other Corvette owners in the next week or two. If they don't wave back, they probably never felt the way those '53 owners did!
With my older vetts owners do wave back and it's nice to see them acknowledge the wave. I noticed that the older vett owners (c1 through c6) don't recognize the front end of the new C7 and do not wave back.
I've always practiced the wave since my first Vette, back in '97. It's unconscious, just do it. Actually have to think to not do it when driving my other cars.
Did it on my motorcycle to other cycllists, so I'll do it in the Vette.
Everyone I have seen driving a Vette has waved! I think it is a tradition. I have been doing it since my 1965. Guys on motorcycles even have waved to me first. Must be the C-7 that brings the best out of all of us?
Still do it even in the new ride.
Seems everybody waves at me when I'm in my C7! It's the car... it's a wave-attractor - just like iPhone cameras gravitate to it. Motorcycles seem to love the car as do construction workers. Bees gravitate to it as well... grrr. One fellow pulled up next to me, put his window down (mine was down already) and asked, "Sweetie, now is that your husband's car you're driving?" I smiled and said, "Nope, it's all mine. He has his own." All he said was, "Wow." At car shows, everyone gives kudos to my husband on "his" beautiful car. He responds that it's not his then points over to his hot-looking modified Velocity Yellow Z06 that is usually parked right next to mine. We have a lot of fun with our babies.
Always wave or flash the lights, if I don't its because I didn't notice the other vette driver until too late. For the most part all other vette drivers do the same, and if they don't, I assume they didn't see me until too late, it does happen.
Bikes have done it forever. We should too. Shows a common interest, respect and dare I say, affection.
I have a Jeep Wrangler, and the Jeep folks wave, too.
Nobody waves in south Florida...for anything......
In this day and age, I almost feel as if I wave, someone will find it offensive, and start shooting at me. So, I wait till the other person waves first.
Never had a Corvette person I first waved to, shoot at me, so I will continue to take that risk and wave as soon as I see all Corvettes.
Exception: Waving to all Corvettes this August's 7,500 Corvettes, National Corvette Caravan over our six day trip from the Pacific Northwest, will result in shoulder tendonitis.

This Demented Dipschitt is going to escalate this conflict through Word or Deed. That you can take to the bank.
And just what the He$$ does Trump having lost, have to do with this corrupt, incompetent, imbecilic, buffoon, named Biden screwing up everything that he touches?
To this fool, Joel A Greenwald…………. And now Biden is destroying the United States of America and is about to start the final War of all Wars……….Ya Happy?
Imprecise yurass. It was just a slip about what has been his controller’s intent all along and that’s to get us into WW III so the NWO Marxist elites that have take over our government can exert even more control over we the people.
 He would change his tune if a combat ribbon was a requirement to be President. This bird and the whole MWO Marxist (democrat) party has got to go.
IS ! Beijing O’Biden being as DUMB as he looks. He tells them they aren’t going to go to Ukraine and now he says they are. This BRAIN DEAD , BLIND EYE COUT know what he is saying. Our Arm Force’s Personal has to business going over there because he what to save Face in front of the United States and the World. Sorry Beijing Joe this ain’t gonna fix what U started. Beijing Joe if U would have left ALL the Policies that POTUS Donald J. Trump put fourth the United States and Ukraine would not be in this Situation at ALL. F*JB. ! LETS GO BRANDON !
So true! If Biden did NOTHING when he came into office, we would still be the top energy exporter in the world and Russia would have no money from their pipeline as Europe would’ve been continuing to get their energy products from the U.S. Our inflation would’ve stayed below 2%, gas and energy prices would’ve been half of what it is now as would food prices.
Biden is as corrupt as Zelensky.
And your trumpie said 6 years ago he was going to release his 2015 Federal Tax Returns.
The IRS has his tax returns and if they found anything amiss, they would have filed a bunch of charges, confiscated holdings and all the other good things the IRS does when they find a bogus return.None of that happened, so his return must have passed muster. The Democrats just threw that out there for DUMBOCRATS like you to discredit Trump.and you ate it up like candy.
Senile Biden is a nightmare, period!
America didn’t think it out very well, when they voted for Biden and company! CONGRESS AND THE SENATE ARE RIDDLED WITH DEMOCRAT FOOLS! FOOLS VOTED THEM IN!
Biden thinks he’s a big boy now!
To Joe A. Greenwald, with all that Biden has screwed up and put us in this mess, your upset because Trump didn’t release his taxes!
Let’s get Progressives out of Congress in November and ride out the rest of the Biden mis-administration. The last thing we want is Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi gaining more power if Biden is taken away from the presidency. Let’s turn Congress around first, and then vote in rational representatives of the U.S. Constitution and American citizens in 2024. We can at least stop most of the insanity this November. Then we can work on getting the U.S. back on track the way it was just two years ago.

THE Care Quality Commission (CQC), which reported yesterday that fully half of English hospitals fail their elderly patients, was established two years ago. Its job is to regulate health and social care in England.
Andrew Lansley, the Health Secretary []
In making clear the deplorable state of geriatric care in the NHS it clearly serves a purpose. But the mistreatment of the elderly within the NHS isn’t just about the way the NHS treats elderly patients.
Since around half of all in-patients are elderly the word isn’t that relevant: a crisis in the care of elderly NHS patients is straightforwardly a crisis in the care of NHS patients.
And that goes beyond rules and procedures. It’s about the NHS itself. That said it’s certainly true that the NHS’s care of the elderly is only worse by degree than is society’s attitude more generally. We no longer venerate our elderly.
For most families now elderly parents are a problem to be dealt with. We may have expected as of right to live with them when we were children and be looked after but when the roles reverse and they need looking after we rarely take on the job and invite them to live with us.
In 2008 there were just 75,000 so-called 3G (three generation) families in the UK. That has led to a stark change in where we die.
At the end of the 19th century 85 per cent of people died at home. Today 58 per cent of the 500,000 deaths each year are in hospital, mainly from chronic long-term conditions.
By 2030 fewer than one in 10 people will die at home. That is just one reason – quite apart from basic human dignity – why it matters so much how the elderly are treated in hospital.
Often it is the last experience of life we will have. For it to be spent, as the CQC found, being talked to as an idiot by doctors and nurses, being ignored when asking for help, or being forced to sit in soiled bedding because a nurse thinks it is beneath her to clean a patient, is simply unacceptable but is too often the norm.“When things go wrong,”
he said, “t.” Inappropriate to whom? To you and me of course and to patients themselves. But not to the NHS, where the culture actually necessitates such behaviour.“In the late In tor’s hours… aff.”
That is intended as a boast but shows just what has gone wrong. The idea of the nurse as the patient’s carer has all but vanished, replaced with a role as a sort of under-qualified doctor (but over-qualified nurse).“”
That’s all very well but it’s at the core of modern nursing. The return to a vocation based on kindness and compassion requires a complete volte face in the training, purpose and deployment of nurses – as well as a shift in the NHS itself.
Because it is not just nursing. Research shows that 15,000 pensioners die prematurely every year after being diagnosed too late, wrongly, or not operated on because of age.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking this is about money or cuts. For years it was argued that the NHS failed patients because of underfunding.
The past decade has been, if you like, a controlled experiment checking that claim. Next year NHS spending is scheduled to be £122.5billion, an increase of £34billion – 39 per cent – in the past five years.
Spending has risen so much that it is now higher than in the likes of Spain and Scandinavia. But all this money has had almost no impact on results.
As the CQC found there was “unacceptable care on wellstaffed wards”.
Another report was published yesterday. The TaxPayers’ Alliance showed that ,749 more deaths in the UK than there would have been if the UK had matched the average mortality rate in Europe.
In other words for all the money that we have spent we haven’t even managed to lift to the European average the NHS’ ability to prevent early deaths.
The figures show that the basic improvement in mortality rate that one expects of any remotely competent health system is actually slowing in the UK.
For all the money spent the NHS is still worse than most European health systems. The elderly bear the brunt of it because there are more of them within the NHS. But the cause affects us all.


A well-decorated office might seem like a luxury—but what if it makes you more productive? Research suggestsffect your mood and outlook. This isn’t conclusive, but it makes for some promising possibilities.
In addition to color, many other factors in your office decor can help with productivity. Taste in decor tends to be highly personalBut where should you start? Whether you work at home or not, try out some of these visual upgrades in your office and see if you don’t get a productivity boost.
As mentioned above, color psychology is a hotly debated field that suggests color might be able to change your mood. However, one reason the research is so inconclusive is that reactions to color are highly personal.
For example, in some cultures, white suggests cleanliness and purity, but in others, white is the color of mourning. Depending on where you’re from, and your personal experience, you might have a very different reaction to a white office.
If you already know which colors lift your mood, go ahead and paint your office. However, if you can’t decide or aren’t allowed to paint, add some “temporary” color. Hang a new set of curtains, or a colorful painting or picture. This way, you can easily try out a few colors until you find what works best.
Studies also suggest that employees can have in a workspace. Natural light seems to help people get more done—and feel better while they do it.
If you have a window in your office, keep the blinds and curtains wide open, and try to finish your workday before it gets dark. If you don’t have natural light in your office, better artificial lighting is the next best thing.
Make sure your office is brightly lit with ambient lighting that doesn’t leave dark shadows in your workspace. Add some focused lighting, like a desk lamp, wherever you work on specific tasks. If you have a few different lighting sources, you can also adjust the brightness of the room to match your mood and the task at hand.
Luckily, it’s easy to upgrade your office lighting with inexpensive lamps and light fixtures. Even in a stodgy corporate office, no one should be opposed to you adding a nice desk lamp to your cubicle.
In addition to adding or changing light fixtures, using different light bulbs can also help you get more done in the office.
Warm lighting tends to promote relaxation, while cool lighting improves productivity. If you switch out warm-toned light bulbs for some in cooler colors, you might get more done.
Want to get fancy with it? You can also buy smart bulbs that let you change the lighting color as needed.
Certain scents can have a meaningful impact on your mood. However, much like with colors, your reaction to scent is very personal. A scent that helps one person focus might spark relaxation in another.
There’s a scientific reason for this effect. In your brain, the olfactory bulb is near the amygdala and hippocampus, both of which are associated with memory and mood. A smell can trigger memories far more effectively than a sound, or even a sight, can. This is because those other senses are processed farther from the brain’s emotion and memory centers.
So, while some scents might have specific effects on your mood, those effects depend on your past experience with that scent. Lavender might relax most people, but if you’ve had a bad experience in a lavender field, it probably won’t work that way on you.
Try candles, diffusers, and other scent sources to find those that help you focus. While it takes some trial and error, experts suggest that lemon, jasmine, peppermint, cinnamon, and rosemary might be good productivity-boosting scents.
According to some studies, the sight of living plants helps some people concentrate. Plants also make your office prettier and more welcoming, which might make you feel better as you start your workday.
If you can’t put plants in your office, try to spend some time outdoors during a work break. Eat lunch outside or hold your brainstorming session at a nearby park to reap the focus-inducing benefits of greenery.
Some experts think soft edges on furniture can help reduce stress and free up the mind to focus and be more productive.
Hard or pointy edges might subconsciously put you “on edge,” since they can hurt you if you run into them. Softer textures and rounded corners reduce that added stress.
Office furniture is often a bit stark and severe, but if you get the chance to buy a new desk, chair, or cabinet, think about choosing a softer, more rounded design.
These ideas should get you off to a good start. However, our reactions to our surroundings are largely personal, so don’t hesitate to experiment and bend the “rules” to find what works for you. If nothing else, just rearranging your office might do the trick.
If you’d like more suggestions to boost your focus and productivity, we’ve got ’em!

Today has been an exceedingly rough day. I woke up last night in an anxious sweat, feeling my body turn against me, and just knowing the next day would be difficult. I lay there searching for some shred of hope to set my sights on, some truth to ground me in that moment so I could rest in peace.
Over and over, I repeated this verse in my mind, willing myself to trust and believe it as true and valid. I’m trying to make sense of this whole chronic pain thing, and it simply doesn’t fit into my own understanding. Over and over I question, and it keeps not making sense. So, instead of seeking to make sense of this pain based on my own understanding, I am holding on to acknowledging God, and believing that he will direct me when I start to do that.
If I can truly start to believe this verse, maybe all this pressure of guilt and feeling responsible will be taken off my shoulders. Maybe I will truly start to believe that chronic pain is the path God has set me on; I can only do the best with what I have been given.
From Depression to Mourning

Today I find myself caught in a dilemma that has become all too common and familiar. Should I stay home, or should I go out? In the heart of a flare, when I find myself in “bare minimum mode,” this question resurfaces again and again, and I must decide between the comfort of my home where body will hopefully be restored or friends and community which will feed my isolated soul. The pain I suffer leads to isolation for the simple reason that going out leads to more pain. And so I turn a switch and move to survival mode, focusing on only the bare necessities of life – going to work, eating, sleeping, resting, and repeating. The house falls into disarray, the friend in need goes unhelped, my relationships are put on hold, and I go through each day with the sole goal of holding on and making it to the end. Surviving with no hope of thriving.
Although my sacroiliac joint dysfunction is the worst of my physical afflictions, various other pieces complete the puzzle of my chronic pain and general physical suffering.

Click here to catch up on Part 1 of my story.
Over the past few years since my yoga and chiropractic injuries, my life has felt like a senseless and unpredictable game of Shoots and Ladders. Over days, weeks, and months, I slowly and precariously climb increasingly tall ladders, making painfully slow progress with my exercises, walks, and ability to complete daily tasks of living. And every single time, my progress is interrupted by an unexpected and instantaneous shoot that sucks me back into the abyss of uncontrollable pain and severe limitation.
Slow but steady progress gained over three, four, or six months lost in an instant at the hands of small and seemingly insignificant incidents.

The way to do a great deal, is to keep on doing a little. The way to do nothing at all is to be continually resolving that you will do everything. – Charles Spurgeon
Chronic pain forces me to complete tasks one microstep at a time. But, over long periods of time I am surprised but what I can accomplish when I persevere, keep moving forward, and refuse to give up on even the worst of days.

From Ed Healy... The Power For Success!
Each day there are new challenges to face. I can look at them as obstacles or as opportunities; as stumbling blocks or as building blocks. The key to success and happiness is not found in the institutions of man but in God, Himself.

From Jim McGuiggan... Enter the Dragon (3): Betrayal
Enter the Dragon (3): Betrayal
To you whom I could pity thus forlorn,
And mutual amity, so strait, so close…
Hell shall unfold,
To entertain you two…
On you, who wrong me not, for him who wronged.
And for all his evil he blames God! He wouldn't want to conquer this new world or rob the humans of their innocence and bring them eternal loss if God hadn't forced him to do it. I find Milton's point here especially revealing. He has God's arch enemy refusing to take the blame. Though he earlier talks his hellish followers into a frenzied rage against God, swearing that they will do no good but only harm and will even work harm out of all the good that is—despite all that impenitent swearing he claims the higher moral ground and blames God for the whole calamitous result. And because that's his nature it is his agenda to lead the humans in the same path—blame everyone else! Especially blame God!
Harry Emerson Fosdick asked us to take another look at a well-known text. Speaking of Jesus it says, "he set his face steadfastly toward Jerusalem." We usually think about what that meant for Jesus but Fosdick wanted us to think about what it meant for Jerusalem. It wasn't only a moment of crisis for Jesus when he got to Jerusalem it was a moment of crisis for Jerusalem when Jesus got there. What would they do with him when he forced them to make a choice?
Astonishing truth this, that God was prepared to spill his blood to purchase our good will while the Dragon with hissing lies talked us into notions of godhood, of self-reliance and self-actualization. With arrogance and insolent ignorance we told God we had had enough of him and would take care of ourselves! "Freedom" tasted so good but it was a shameful freedom and a destructive liberty. Hugh R. Mackintosh, brilliant Scots theologian and preacher, preached a sermon he called Love's Refusal. In Exodus 21 Israel was told to let the fellow-Israelite slave go free in the seventh year. Many of them must have eagerly counted the days but there were times when the one who came as a slave (due to debt or some such thing) learned to love the master and to develop ties in that home; ties he didn't want to break. So he would refuse the freedom saying."
The freedom offered by the sinister one could only be gained by base ingratitude, by a thankless and stupid heart that was blinded by corrupt and corrupting visions of false grandeur. It's foolishness, of course, to pity God for he doesn't need our pity, but isn't it legitimate to see his brazen rejection as the foulest kind of treachery? Had he been a tyrant, had he tormented and narrowed us, had his treatment of us made us rue the day he made us—if any of that had been true would we not now look back on our rebellion and think of it with pride? But it wasn't a brave insurrection, it was mean treachery. It wasn't a gallant assault against an arrogant and harsh deity it was an arrogant, self-serving and stupid desertion.
Betrayal is so hard to take. You only have to read the story of Absalom's treatment of his father David to sense the ugliness and shudder at it. Perhaps you came across the painful story some years ago of the woman who married an ex-con and loved him devotedly. A few years later he was accused of a very serious crime he didn't commit but as a result of poor defense work he was sentenced to something like thirty years without parole. His wife was assured that if they had the money to get a top-notch lawyer he could get a retrial and be released. She took on extra jobs, scrubbed floors in office buildings at night, took in laundry, kept up her day job and lived on too little. Some years later, exhausted, looking much older and very thin she had enough money to get the lawyer. She hired him, they got the case reopened, he was set free and a few months later he went off with a younger and prettier woman. Betrayal is so hard to take.
Psalm 41 tells a sad story. The psalmist is ill, worn out with the struggle against the affliction and what's worse he hasn't treated God right. His enemies watch him in the throes of his agony and pretend to care. When they come to visit it's really to see how quickly he's sinking so that they can go and spread their good news about his bad news and to insinuate evil about him. Naturally that filled him with pain but what hurt him most was this (41:9), "Even my closestre it is! And if the sufferer is king David, insult has been added to injury when the hero of the nation, the one to whom they owe so much, is despised. Lord Byron, poor man, who knew what it was to turn to ruin by turning from God had this to say:
While the same plumage that had warmed his nest
Drank the last lifedrop of his bleeding breast.
Whatever mystery there is hidden in Christ's cry to God, "Why have you forsaken me?" there's mystery too when he turns his eyes on us and, speaking for God, wants to know from us, "Why have you forsaken me?" Can you explain it? (That entire issue needs developed.)
Wouldn't you think God would have more respect for himself? Wouldn't you think he would prize his honor more highly than to come looking for a race that has treated him so blasphemously? Has he no shame? Is that why we forsook him? Because he loved us too much? It's from that God that Satan works to cut us off.
Such being the case, we must go to the Bible to determine God's will with regard to modern-day apostles. When we do so, we first learn that from or forth, a messenger, delegate". The term is used in the New Testament in two distinct senses. It can refer to an individual who is sent by other humans to accomplish a particular mission or task. The term is so used to refer, for example, to Barnabas (Acts 14:14). He was an "apostle" in the sense that he accompanied Paul on an evangelistic trip. Jesus is said to be our "Apostle" in the sense that He was sent to atone for our sins (Hebrews 3:1).
The term "apostle" also is used in a second sense—what we might call an official sense. That is, "apostle" can refer to individuals who were officially and divinely selected to serve as Jesus' original representatives—"ambassadors" (2 Corinthians 5:20). Jesus handpicked the original twelve apostles (Matthew 10:1-5; Mark 3:13-19; Luke 6:12-16; 9:1-2). Of these original twelve, Judas betrayed the Lord as predicted by the Old Testament (Psalm 41:9; John 13:18-19; 18:1-5). Instead of repenting, he cinched his apostasy b Consequently, a successor to Judas was selected by divine decree (Acts 1:16-26).
W's"endued with power from on high" (Luke 24:49).
These two central tasks are set forth clearly in the New Testament. In Matthew 16, Jesus declared that He would build His church after His resurrection from hades (vs. 18). He then explained that it would be the apostles who would instigate initial entrance into Christ's church (hence the significance of "keys"—vs. 19). This commencement of the Christian religion and the church of Christ would be achieved by means of the apostles "binding" and "loosing" the doctrinal tenets and principles of Christianity that Heaven had previously bound or loosed [the Greek uses the perfect passive and should be translated "will have been bound/loosed in Heaven" as in the NASB (cf. Matthew 18:18-20; John 20:22-23)]. Peter and the apostles articulated the terms of entrance into the kingdom of Christ for the first time on the Pentecost that followed Christ's resurrection (Acts 2:14ff.).
In Ephesians 4, after summarizing Christianity in terms of seven core concepts (vss. 1-6), Paul described the initial sequence of events that recounted the advent of Christianity (vss. 7-16). Paul noted that: (1) after His crucifixion, Jesus descended into the Hadean realm; (2) He then was resurrected; (3) He ascended back to Heaven; (4) upon His ascension, He dispensed gifts; (5) the apostolic office was included in the reception of these miraculous capabilities; (6) the purpose of these gifts was to equip and edify the church; (7) the preparation provided to the infant church by these gifts was temporary ("till" is an adverb of time connoting when the miraculous gifts were to terminate), in that the same preparation soon would be available through the completed revelation, i.e., "the faith." [By "completed revelation" we do not mean completed canon. We mean that all of God'. See the New Testament discussion contrasting "mystery" with "made known" (Romans 16:25-26; 1 Corinthians 2:7-10; Ephesians 3:1-11). In the meantime, the process of producing copies of the various New Testament documents and circulating them far and wide would have been occurring rapidly and extensively from the very moment of their production by the inspired writers (cf. Colossians 4:16, 1 Timothy 5:18, where Luke 10:7 is already known and classified as "Scripture," and 2 Peter 3:15-16, where Paul's epistles are already circulated and recognized as "Scriptures"). Further, the reference to "the faith" in Ephesians 4:13 cannot refer to a time when all people or all Christians will achieve unity in faith. Such a circumstance will never occur. Paul was referring to the time when all people would have access to all of God's communication to man, thus giving them the potential for attaining spiritual maturity ("a perfect man" vs. "children"). See Miller, 2003].
Once all of the information necessary to the promotion of the Christian religion was revealed to the early church (through oral means made possible by the distribution of the gifts), the church would have the means available to grow and mature in Christ (cf. 1 Corinthians 13:8-13). While prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers [the words "pastors and teachers" share the same article in the Greek, and so should likely be construed to mean "pastor-teachers," i.e., a single function in which pastors (those selected by the local congregation to serve as elders or shepherds) were endowed with the miraculous ability to teach inspired information not yet made available in written form] were part of this early development of Christianity (Ephesians 4:11), the office of an apostle was the primary means by which Christ accomplished the inauguration of His religion.
The apostles had the sole responsibility of executing the will of the Son of God in founding, organizing, and fully equipping the church of Christ on Earth, that she might fulfill her heaven-borne mission, until Jesus comes again (Hayden, p. 22). That is why Paul could say two chapters earlier that the household of God (i.e., the church); cf. 3:5; Revelation 21:14). That is why he informed the Corinthian Christians:
The apostles are said to be "first"o "the word of God" and "the ministry of the word" (Acts 6:2,4).
THE DURATION OF AN APOSTLE
Once the church of Christ was established and Christianity was given its initial presentation (cf. Colossians 1:23), the apostolic office faded from the scene along with the age of miracles. As an eyewitness of Christ's resurrect"last of all" (1 Corinthians 15:8). Neither apostles nor miraculous gifts was needed any longer. They had served their temporary purpose (Mark 16:20; Acts 4:29-31; 13:12; 14:3; Romans 15:18-19; Hebrews 2:3-4; cf. Exodus 4:30). Miraculous gifts functioned as scaffolding while the church was under initial construction, and were removed once the structure had been completed (1 Corinthians 3:10; 13:11; Ephesians 4:13-14). The book we call the Bible is the totality of God's written revelation to the human race. Consequently, people now have access to everything they need (2 Peter 1:3) to enter into a right relationship with God via Christianity and the church of Christ. The apostles "had no official successors. From the nature of their duties, there could be no succession" (Hayden, pp. 20-21).Apostles, quite simply, are no longer needed!
Unfortunately, several groups that claim affiliation with the Christian religion allege to have apostles among them, including Catholicism, Mormonism, and some pentecostal groups. This claim is unbiblical of Christ's resurrection. Christ has selected no one living today for the apostolic role. No one living today possesses the miraculous capabilities of an apostle. We should not be surprised that people would falsely claim to be apostles.. Peter added his voice on the same subject1). No wonder John admonishbeen an ? New Testament also makes clear the fact that an essential characteristic of an apostle was that he had been selected by Deity. When Jesus was on Earth, He handpicked the first twelve apostles. After His departure from Earth, the disciples cast lots to select a successor to Judas. Their method allowed no input from mere humans—except in the recognition that two men possessed all the qualifications necessary to be an apostle. Casting lots allowed God to do the selecting. Divine control in the selection process by casting lots was common in Old Testament history (see Leviticus 16:8; Numbers 26:55; 33:54; 34:13; Joshua 14:2; 18:6,10; 19:51; cf. Acts 13:19; 1 Samuel 14:42; Nehemiah 10:34; Psalm 16:5). Solomon claimed Indeed, Peter's prayer on the occasion shows that the decision already had been made by the Lord before the actual casting of lots: "…show which of these two You have chosen" (Acts 1:24, emp. added). The summary statement regarding Matthias—"; cf. Matthew 28:16; Mark 16:14; Luke 24:33)—gives way to a return to the expression "the twelve" (Acts 6:2; cf. Acts 2:14). The text states:" (Acts 1:24-25). Paul also was handpicked by Jesus—to be a "chosen vessel" (Acts 9:15). No human being on Earth today can claim an apostle.
A third proof that no apostles exist on Earth today is the fact that New Testament apostles were empowered by God—not only to perform miracles—but also to convey miraculous power to other people who then could work miracles themselves. This characteristic is demonstrated in detailed fashion in Act18). The issue of modern-day apostles may be settled very quickly! To authenticate their claim to be apostles, they must be able both to perform miracles as well as confer miraculous power to others. The apostles of Jesus in the New Testament demonstrated their apostolic status without hesitation. Anyone today who claims to be an apostle should be willing to do the same. No such ability exists today.
ORIGINAL APOSTLES WERE SUFFICIENT
A fascinating passage in the New Testament sheds further light upon this notion of modern-day apostles. That passage is Matthew 19:28. There Jesus informed Peter and the other apostlesA related passage is Luke 22:29-30 which says, "Anse verses are Christ's figurative declarations describing the role of the twelve apostles in the establishment of the church and the dissemination of the gospel proclamation (cf. Bales, 1957, pp. 187-223). The "regeneration" refers to the Christian era, which began at Pentecost, during which time spiritual regeneration became possible through the blood of Christ (Titus 3:5). It is an equivalent expression with the "time of reformation" (Hebrews 9:10). The throne of Christ's glory refers to His present location at the right hand of God (Acts 2:34-36; Ephesians 1:20; 1 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 1:13; 8:1; 10:12-13). The "judging" done by the apostles refers to the rule that the apostles exerted while they were on Earth, setting in place the features of New Testament Christianity (Matthew 16:19; John 20:22-23). The "twelve thrones" refers to their complete authority from Christ to implement Christ's will until the end of time—which they presently do today through their authoritative writings—found only in the New Testament. The "twelve tribes" is a figurative way to refer to the church—the spiritual Israel (Galatians 6:16; James 1:1; cf. Romans 2:28-30; Galatians 3:29).
Additionally, the fact that Jesus declared that all twelve apostles would occupy thrones in the kingdom proves that Peter had no greater authority than the other apostles. The apostles were equalin their reception and wielding of the authority delegated to them by Christ. Yet the Catholic Church claims that the immediate successors to Peter were Linus (from A.D. 67 to 79), Cletus (from A.D. 79 to 91) and Clement (from A.D. 91 to 100). They agree that the apostle John would have still been alive throughout this period (see G.C. Brewer's discussion as quoted in Bales, pp. 208-210). The doctrine of the primacy of Peter means that the first three of the alleged successors of Peter would have exercised authority over the still-living apostle John—who had been handpicked by Christ Himself! The very John whom Jesus placed on one of the twelve thrones would have been under the authority, knowledge, and power of three popes who had not been selected to be among the original Twelve! (see also Hayden, pp. 22-33). Hayden aptly summarized the New Testament position regarding modern-day apostles:
The thirteen apostles chosen, ordained and endowed by the newly crowned Messiah faithfully and fully executed their commission. When they entered into everlasting rest, the church was established, with all needful ministries to edify, extend and perpetuate it throughout all coming centuries. Then the extraordinary, which was necessary to found a new institution, was succeeded by the ordinary, which is sufficient to teach, regulate and govern the subjects of Christ's kingdom according to the laws that went forth from Jerusalem. The revelation of God was completed. The word of faith is henceforth nigh every believer, even in his mouth and in his heart. The apostolic office ceased, and evangelists and pastors became the permanent teachers and superintendents of the church (pp. 33-34).

AL AOUR, Egypt (Christian Examiner) – In a village torn apart by media coverage after the barbarous execution it was buidling a facility for clean drinking water -- not a church honoring the martyrs -- that has brought about reconciliation from Muslims and Christians in the region.
"Love is our greatest weapon," said partner of Voice of the Martyrs, the non-profit organOnce their represenatatives traveled to the region and realized how tension had arisen last Feburary after the horrific acts -- 21 Coptic Christian from five villages were beheaded -- they aimed to diffuse rising tensions in communities where the victims' families lived -- many in extreme poverty.
s.
Meeting with the relatives of 13 of the murdered Christians in attempts to identify areas of need in the five villages of the martyrs, VOM determined that a number of service projects would be conducted to serve the families of those who had died.
Last month, the organization embarked upon the first of several trips for their service outreach. Together with some of its partners, VOM began installing water filters in the villages in order to improve their drinking water for Christians and Muslims.
By identifying and meeting a basic need, like clean water, which both religious communities could benefit from, VOM stated in a May 13 news release, their intent was to progress reconciliation between the two groups.
While initially skeptical of the Christian group's efforts to provide clean water for their villages, some Muslim leaders were "disarmed by the Christian workers' act of love," the release stated.
"Love is our greatest weapon," a VOM partner said, pointing to the stark contrast between the Islamic extremists and the Christians who died for their faith.
"," the partner said.
Still, the effort to diffuse the polarity between the Christians and Muslims in the region is an uphill battled evidenced by Muslim protests over government plans to allow a church to be built in one of the villages. After first offering to pay for the building at state expense, the government has apparently backed out in order to appease powerful Muslim forces in that country Daily News Egypt reported.
A VOM report stated the frustration had stemmed from the constant focus on Christian suffering which angered an Islamic population weary of attention from media through the region.
Daily News Egypt reports attacking properties of Christians and churches in Egypt was in protest against Christian support of military power against the Muslim Brotherhood began in August, 2013 and has since faded, but has never completely gone away.
Still, the VOM notes a focus on the installation of the water filters in all five villages is just one of three ministry projects planned to serve the families in their campaign of love.

41.6 Conclusion: Paratexts as Law and Literature
This chapter offers an overview of a genre that has attracted little attention qua genre: the legal paratext. Gérard Genette likened the paratext to a vestibule that operates as a zone of transition and transaction, a liminal space that prepares the reader’s experience of the text. Yet there are other, more cautionary paratexts that crowd, often invisibly, the vestibules of books and other cultural forms. This chapter surveys the transatlantic (American and British) repertoire of legal paratexts appearing in books, including copyright notices, once mandatory in the United States but now permissive there and in many countries; statements of US manufacture, deriving from a period in American publishing when copyright protection turned o that books be physically manufactured on US soil; “all characters are fictitious” disclaimers, which urge readers to put aside their instinct to sue for libel or for privacy invasion and to engage with the text as a fictive and aesthetic creation; “no-obscenity” statements—a feature of many controversial modernist works—which seek to discourage official attempts at censorship and assure readers that books have been or are likely to be deemed by a court to be safe for consumption. Legal paratexts continue to crowd the vestibules of books, movies, musical recordings, and other works, warning readers, scolding them, and attempting to regulate their behavior in accordance with legal and corporate norms. They are linked to other literary genres, such as parody, satire, the apologia, and the palinode.

US empire increasingly desperate against Baba Beijing. Intimidation will backfire. China Rising Radio Sinoland 181211
At least US President Donald Trump is honest and his administration is reflecting that reality, when he said,
People say you don’t like China. No, I love them…… (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0GhBmz3zmE).
And it’s true. But, it not a question of better or worse leaders. It’s that China’s communist-socialist democracy works for the people, and has been since liberation in 1949, while the West’s capitalist, non-representative version serves the 1%, something I’ve written about in Sino-detail  and http://chinarising.puntopress.com/2017/11/17/i-can-see-for-miles-in-china-what-do-you-see-from-your-vantage-point-china-rising-radio-sinoland-171117/ and http://chinarising.puntopress.com/2018/01/11/chinas-public-social-credit-system-versus-the-wests-secret-panopticon-china-rising-radio-sinoland-180111/). For Westerners, read it and weep, because it is a hard reality to wrap one’s head around, but necessary to truly understand how the world works – East and Occident. As I wrote about extensively iand inese civilization has been communist-socialist going back 5,000 years. They’ve had a lot of practice making it work well for themselves and Baba Beijing definitely offers an alternative system of governance versus the West.
In spite of all the well-orchestrated mainstream propaganda about “keeping all the high paying white collar jobs”, history has shown that manufacturing always draws research and development (R&D), technology, innovation and financing into its orbit. The US, and now more and more Europe, Japan and South Korea depend on China as the world’s manufacturing powerhouse. Thus, all of Trump’s invectives about trying to bring jobs back home, the MAGA movement (Make America Great Again) make sense. However, it will never happen, because he doesn’t run the country. Wall Street, the oil bankers and the military-spy deep state do, and they own the US Congresspeople and Senators like wall trophies, all well-bribed, extorted and blackmailed.
Since capitalism cannot compete against communism-socialism on a level playing field, the former’s only options are to commit sabotage, war, sanctions and subterfuge to weaken the latter. Chas Freeman calls “positive” Western diplomatic relations, alliance, entente, protectorate, client state and cooperative transactional relations and none of them are good for the West’s other half (), as they all mean subordination of the country’s needs to those of the United States. On the negative side there are, enmity, adversarial antagonism, rivalry, and competitive transactionalism. Again, none of them are good for countries that want to be independent of the West, and with Donald Trump’s policies, the US has rapidly moved its relations with China from adversarial antagonism/rivalry back to enmity, which means trying to destroy China, along with a long list of other perceived enemies.
To add desperate fuel to the imperial fires, the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo gave a policy speech in Brussels, home of Yankee prostitutes NATO and EU. Give Trump and his administration credit: they openly tell all the world what used to be conducted behind diplomatic doors, including extortion. Pompeo said that the entire Planet must submit to Uncle Sam’s imperial order, and not side with China or Russia (https://www.rt.com/news/445731-new-pax-americana-pompeo/).
The writing is on the wall. Since 1949, Communist-socialist China has been rising and offering the whole world a cooperative, win-win, multipolar vision of global governance, with the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) as its backbone (http. The imperial-capitalist West, with Uncle Sam calling the shots, has no viable answer to Baba Beijing’s century-spanning vision, so it can only do what it does best: invasions, war, occupation, color revolutions, sanctions, boycotts, extortion, bribery, blackmail and assassinations. It has worked most of the time for the last 3,000 years, starting with the Greeks and Romans, then onto the Crusades and global colonialism, which is still ongoing.years.%, 1939, 1949, 1980s, 19th Century, 20th century, adversarial antagonism, Alliance, America, APEC, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, Assassinations, Baba Beijing, Blackmail, Blockades, Boycotts, Bribery, Britain, Brussels, Capitalism, Chas Freeman, China, China Trilogy, client state, Colonialism, Color Revolutions, Communism, competitive transactionalism, Congress, cooperative transactional relations, Corporate Financialization, Deep State, Democracy, Diplomacy, Donald Trump, England, enmity, entente, EU, Extortion, Financing, GM, Imperialism, India GDP, Innovation, Invasions, London, MAGA, Manufacturing, Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, NATO, New England Patriots, Occupation, Opium Wars, Papua New Guinea, Paris, protectorate, R&D, rivalry, Russia, Sanctions, Secretary of State, Senate, Socialism, Tariffs, Technology, Tom Brady, UK, United States, US, Vice President, Wall Street, war, Washington, Xi Jinping

Lipsticks used- MAC Lustering, MAC Hug me, ZA Shell Pink, ZA Salmon Rose. I didn't mind chopping off these lipsticks coz they were all the exact size of the depth of the jar. I scooped out every bit of the lippies, that's why everything looks all squishy & messy at the bottom. But the mess is also the yum factor, I think.
This will go in my handbag.. 4 lipsticks in one jar! Wear one shade or mix & match! I haven't worn these lipsticks in months, and now I can't wait to dig in!
It's look yummyyy
It actually looks like a sundae only..I want to eat one now!! :D Niceeeeee post!! :)
you are very creative cynthia :) we love you
you are so innovative! Love this. I think this way the lippies will get much more use :) I have them all my MAC ones chopped off like this in a MUFE palette and I love mix and match too :)
wao its a great idea... i think its perfect way to use your about to finish lipies.... and the combined swatch is really beautiful.... thanx for sharing worthy stuff...
U have a heart gal :p
Yummmmyyyyyy post Cynthia.....
Awesome way of depotting lipsticks!
wow that looks destructively tempting, I did this exact same DIY experiment 2 weeks back.. but I must say it takes a strong heart to chop up MAC lippies like that!
this is such a great idea but i don't think i'm ready to chop off any of my lipsticks yet. :)
this is such a good idea! i might do this with my old lippies that i dont use, shame i just gave some to my sister >_<
wonderful idea C! I'm going to do this with my MAC bombshell! :)
Ooooh never thought about that, great idea! Love the results (:
This is super cute! I prefer my colors separate so I have de-tubed lipsticks in to a pill case or empty lip palette. But the whole sundae looks sooo cute!
AOYV- Oh, they melt easily here coz it's so hot. You can use a hair dryer too. Can't wait to see it! :)
Aarthi- :))

I found out last week that I had COVID. As I was getting up on Sunday, December 13, I realized it was the first Sunday in 2020 that I wouldn't be able to help lead the corporate worship at Woolsey. I really loved the Christmas songs the church was going to be singing, but a different song came to my mind that morning. It wasn't a Christmas song at all. It was a song I had learned as a young boy, that we sang more often around Thanksgiving…"Count your blessings, name them one by one."
Hope in Heaven because Jesus was born—to die and rise again!
