With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share.

“Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count.
First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you.
Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would.
Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands.
Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick.
Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you.
The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”

We shouldn't be celebrating sin.

We should be celebrating the one who died for it.

Wow. RIP to a crucial piece of the 1996 Stanley Cup winning Avs. He was a winner, through and through.

My dad retired at 59

I will not

He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.

He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.

At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.

Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.

Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.

Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.

Just passed the potatoes.

Make it make sense

🇺🇸 This Florida homeowner just went full send when 3 armed thieves tried breaking into his house, and he lit them up with an AK-47.

All 3 were hit, and police say zero charges under Florida’s self-defense laws.

I have never understood why basketball rules are not enforced when they are clearly broken constantly. 🤷‍♂️

When butter was demonised, Unilever sold margarine.

When tallow was demonised, Procter and Gamble sold Crisco.

When eggs were demonised, Kellogg's sold cereal.

When red meat was demonised, Cargill sold soy.

When raw milk was demonised, Nestle sold infant formula.

When leather was demonised, BASF sold PVC.

When wool was demonised, ExxonMobil sold polyester feedstock.

When animal fat was demonised, the seed-oil industry grew from a niche product to the most consumed food ingredient on earth.

Every demonisation of an animal product made a specific group of shareholders very rich.

Every one of those products had been eaten by humans for thousands of years without incident.

The science changed the moment a substitute existed to sell.

Follow the money. The advice will start to make a lot more sense.

I understand Forrest Frank isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea. I wouldn’t put him on my Mount Rushmore of greatest musicians.

But he’s my favorite artist.

Why? Well, you give me someone else who can have my 8 year old running around the house singing “Jesus is alive!” 🤷‍♂️

Don’t care what anyone says. This dude is helping advance the Kingdom with young people in a major way.
