@smcgillivray@hgtv It’s really hard to see how they had so much more added value definitely not my favorite home, any of the other three I could see winning. Oh well to each his own. @hgtv#Rocktheblock

Dear Madam,
I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant-General of Massachusetts, that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom.
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,
Abraham Lincoln

☁️ CLOUD BREAD 🍞 Only 2 Ingredients! (High Protein, Low Carb)
Just tried this viral fluff and it’s insane. Light as a cloud, tastes like actual bread, zero guilt. Perfect for keto, high-protein diets, or just when you’re craving something fresh out the oven.
Recipe (makes 1 loaf):
• 3 eggs (yolks + whites separated)
• 150g Greek yogurt (or lactose-free)
• Pinch of salt (optional)
How to make it:
1. Whip egg whites to stiff peaks (electric mixer works best).
2. Mix yolks + Greek yogurt until smooth.
3. Gently fold whites into yolk mix (don’t overmix – keep it airy!).
4. Pour into parchment-lined loaf tin.
5. Bake at 170°C / 340°F for 25-30 min until golden.
6. Cool slightly, slice & enjoy.
Macros (whole loaf approx): ~300 kcal | 33g protein | ~5-7g carbs | ~15g fat.
This thing pulls apart like fresh sourdough but it’s basically pure protein. Game changer for breakfast, sandwiches, or snacking.
If you ever have made this feel free to reply.
Here is a Hantavirus Fact sheet from the early 90’s from a Government Health Department. It CLEARLY states Hantavirus is NOT contagious! Everyone learn this and pass it on. This is so maddening to me.
March 2, 2012. Lawrence Anthony drew his last breath at his home on the Thula Thula reserve in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. He was 61. The man the world called The Elephant Whisperer was gone.
No one told the elephants.
There were no alerts sent into the bush. No one walked the perimeter beating a drum. No sound carried the news across the miles of wild, dense land separating the herds from his lodge. And yet, within hours, something shifted in the bush that had no rational explanation.
They came anyway.
Entire herds began moving with a focused, unhurried purpose that witnesses immediately recognized as different. These were not animals following a water source or a food trail. They were moving toward a single point. Toward his house. Matriarchs that Anthony had once sat with in silence, animals he had talked down from the edge of panic and aggression, led their families straight to the place where he had died.
They arrived without fanfare. No trumpeting. No chaos. Just a quiet gathering, a loose circle of enormous animals standing near the home of the man who had once chosen to stand between them and armed rangers who wanted them dead.
And they stayed for two full days.
Some swayed slowly. Others held completely still. Then, on the second day, they turned as one and walked back into the bush they had come from. No drama. No signal. Just absence where presence had been.
This was not a one-time anomaly. Years later, when Anthony's wife Françoise passed away, the same behavior was documented again. The same elephants. The same quiet arrival. The same vigil. That second event shifted the story from remarkable coincidence into something harder to dismiss.
Lawrence Anthony had rescued these animals when wildlife authorities were ready to have them shot. They were traumatized, aggressive, and considered beyond saving. He used no force, no punishment, no dominance games. He simply showed up, day after day, and spoke to them. He gave them patience at a time when patience felt dangerous and foolish.
Science can explain pieces of this. Elephants carry infrasonic communication, low-frequency vibrations traveling through earth and air that humans cannot detect. They possess memory precise enough to recognize individual human voices decades later. They grieve. They mourn their own dead with ritual and attention that mirrors human behavior in unsettling ways.
But science has not yet explained how they knew.
His family documented it. His colleagues witnessed it. The elephants themselves left no room for polite dismissal.
Lawrence Anthony once wrote that if you truly listen to an animal, it will change you forever.
On the day he died, they proved the feeling was mutual.
