Dear @Skittles, 4 months ago I lost my sense of smell and, along with it, my sense of taste. I’ve tried every food group known to man and I can’t taste anything. Except for Skittles. For some strange reason, I can taste every flavor of Skittles, just like if nothing had happened. I’ve tried many other candies and have had no luck. I don’t know what kind of nuclear material is in Skittles, but you are now my daily snack so that I can at least taste something. ❤️
ps- Do you have any recipes for coating food in ground up Skittles? I’m thinking Lemon Chicken.
“The Catholics pick the very best chaplains - young, virile, active and patriotic. The troops look up to them. I’ve only met one or two Protestant chaplains worth their ration cards.”
- USMC Lt. General Chesty Puller
In the Pacific Theatre of WW2, a Protestant chaplain approached Col. Puller, complaining that many Marines were converting to Catholicism.
Later, while the Marines were out on patrol, Puller found that same chaplain at the battalion HQ. He told him,
“Your place was with the fighting men. You remember our little talk about Protestant boys joining the Catholics? They see those priests doing their duty and see you evading it. I can’t work up much sympathy for you.”
There were so many converts that mothers in the US wrote letters to the front, concerned that their sons would join the Catholic Church. Puller wrote back that if the Protestant chaplains had the guts to go where the Catholic chaplains did, where the bullets were flying, maybe their sons wouldn’t be converting.
Chesty Puller, a lifelong Episcopalian, had great respect for the Catholic chaplains of WW2 and even sent his own children to Catholic school after the war.
I know Satan is active in this world because when Charlie Kirk was killed there was a revival of Christianity unlike I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.
Satan wasn’t having it and people like Candace and Tucker were sent to trash it with absurdity that, unfortunately, worked.
The United States is 3 human lifetimes old.
That’s it. In those short years we invented the light bulb, the telephone, the airplane, the transistor and the internet. We turned a few wooded colonies into the most powerful nation in the history of the world.
Compare Calvin Coolidge on America’s 150th anniversary:
“It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers."
Being a lawyer is a lot like being a chef except while I’m trying to whip up a delicious meal there’s another chef in the kitchen actively trying to make it taste like shit.
This is a month's worth of growth for the invasive Oriental Bittersweet vine that's tearing its way through Michigan.
I chopped this down to the ground back in April.
With invasive species you gotta rip it out all the way down to the root or you'll never get rid of it.
This post is not just about plants.
Over 75 years ago, Fort Pierce was the birthplace of the first Navy Frogmen. 🇺🇸
They trained on these shores during WWII. Today, their legacy lives on at the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum.
