Kill it or not? One of my biggest fears. Mom says it eats bugs, so leave it alone. I say, if it was outside my home, I would walk away. But, it came into my home and threatened me..I even tested it.... It followed my movement... Now it is gone. It's political, nothing personal!

Do you want taxpayer funded abortion up to the moment of birth? Do you want to lock parents out of the health care of their kids? No and no. Vote NO on issue 1!
Senator J.D. Vance, a prominent Republican from Ohio, pulled off a surprising political feat by rallying support from both sides of the aisle for his "Freedom to Breathe Act."
This legislation, aimed at preventing the return of mandatory face masks, gained the backing of ten Democrats and was passed as an amendment to an appropriations bill.
Vance's strategic approach compelled Democrats from swing states to take a stance on mask mandates, tapping into their unpopularity.
The act is set to remain in effect until the end of 2024, prohibiting federal officials from issuing mask mandates for various settings.
Vance stressed the importance of returning to common sense in managing respiratory pandemics and putting an end to panic and anxiety.
🚨PSA for the ladies🚨
Twice within the last month, I’ve been approached at two different gas stations by two different men who have walked up to me, credit card in hand, and asked if I could come over toward their car and help them figure out how to use their credit card at the gas pump.
Not once did they ask for money, they asked me to follow them. In fact, the first one I briefly informed he had to leave his card in the machine until it told him to remove and he persisted, asking me to walk over and physically show him. 🚩
Both times I obviously declined and left ASAP, but this has never happened to me before. Now it’s happened twice in a month under totally different circumstances??
What adult owns a car but doesn’t know how to use a credit card at a gas pump?? 🚩
I spoke with my friend, @BooyensJaco, who confirmed human trafficking is happening at gas stations at an accelerated rate, along with other crimes against women.
Ladies, PLEASE be vigilant, watch your six, & always be aware of your surroundings!
And ALWAYS be locked and loaded.
So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.
In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!
Adopt responsibility for your own well-being, try to put your family together, try to serve your community, try to seek for eternal truth… That’s the sort of thing that can ground you in your life, enough so that you can withstand the difficulty of life.
