Car repair #2 underway! I went to leave the cottage and coolant sprayed everywhere. I knew the part was starting to go and luckily had a spare, but I’ve run into an issue because the old parts are broken and calcified inside the hose and the socket. I can’t get a new socket until tomorrow. Should I try drilling it out?

Sydney Sweeney is starting to make the rest of us look lazy. Successful actress. Sports betting. Her own lingerie company. Now she’s starting a cooking show. At this point I’m convinced she just wakes up every morning, spins a wheel and starts another business. What’s next? Sydney Sweeney Bikini Car Wash? 🔥🔥🔥

We talk pretty much every day on the phone, and those conversations have become a pretty important part of our lives.💛💛💛 So while you haven’t seen much of @LondonSparkle1 on X lately, I certainly haven’t lost touch with her. She’s been traveling quite a bit for work, and since she’s been absent from here, she wanted me to share this with you all and give you a little update on what she’s been doing. Her company is helping promote East Africa’s first PLO Series in Kenya, coming up September 28 through October 1 at Casino Flamingo. They’ve got KES 6,000,000 guaranteed, and this is the commercial they’ve put together for the event. Dives is still around. She’s just been a little busy lately. She’ll see this post, so she’ll know you all haven’t forgotten about her 🙏

I am absolutely livid. We had to drive to the Walgreens in Alma because the Van Buren Walgreens no longer has a pharmacy, and my husband has a prescription we can only get through Walgreens. We get there and they tell us the copay is $190.79. It has ALWAYS been $23. It was $23 last month. So we questioned it right there at the window. The employee was snotty and arrogant and acted like we were just a couple of clueless old people who couldn’t possibly know what we normally pay. He insisted $190.79 was correct. So we called our insurance company. The copay is $23. Now here’s the part that really gets me. Walgreens has our credit card on file and had no problem charging $190.79 to it, but they apparently can’t refund the overcharge to that same card unless we physically return to the store. That means another 50-mile round trip because someone couldn’t be bothered to double-check something we specifically questioned while standing right in front of him. Mistakes happen. I can deal with a mistake. What I have a problem with is arrogance when a customer tells you something isn’t right and you can’t be bothered to check. And sometimes those “clueless old people” standing at your window actually know exactly what they’re talking about. @Walgreens

Yesterday at Walmart the scale at the self checkout was wrong. I weighed a couple onions and they were 1.38 lbs, the next thing I weighed was ONE BANANA and it said 1.56 lbs. --Now, before you jump my butt remember where I live I have no other choice but Aldi and their produce is disgusting in Van Buren AR full of mold.-- But that's the not the story here - the story is the scale was wrong! one banana does not weigh that. So the clerk came and "reset" the scale. Now the banana was only $.07 due to its minimum weight and the onions were 1.26 lbs. How many times have you wondered if the scales are right even if its NOT self checkout

Kevin Street, testifying at the Allison Inquiry about his AstraZeneca COVID vaccine injury: "1951 days ago, I started my life over. Took a shot and I've never been back to work since." The Shot He walked out of his business, went down the hallway, and took the shot. He told the pharmacist it was "a real whopper", he could feel it go in. He still has a lump on his arm. He knew right away something was different. The pharmacist played it off as nothing. The Decline That night, the shakes started. He missed three days of work with what felt like a nasty flu. When he returned, he could only manage two or three hours a day, in full sweats. His immune system went into "flight mode" and never settled down. He'd go home soaked and have to get out of his clothes right away. His employees started telling him: "Kev, you've got to go home." He'd go home, and be back the next day, trying. The Collapse About two weeks in, he told his wife he couldn't do it anymore, things weren't right. He went out to the back deck, having a normal conversation, petting his dog. Then it was "like somebody flicked a light switch." Everything went out. He dropped. When he woke up, his wife was standing over him, thinking he was fooling around. Nothing was ever the same again. The Diagnosis - Multiple brain lesions - Blood clots - Legs swollen, a large black bruise — tested for deep vein thrombosis because he'd had the AstraZeneca shot - Increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier - Seizures that progressed into full-body tremors The Tremors The tremors lasted about two and a half years, he still has them today, just not as severe. At their worst, he would shake on a gurney for up to two hours, so violently that even the people around him got annoyed. He was fully aware the entire time, not like a grand mal seizure. He had no ability to stop it. It would ride out until his brain got tired. Then he'd be a wreck for two or three days. One neurologist brought three others in to observe him. They said it was "fascinating." The ER Ordeal For the first four weeks of ER visits, they kept testing him for methamphetamines and opioids because he presented as an overdose. The window for treatment was slipping away, and his wife watched it happen. They went to Ottawa Civic, where he was put in a ward with 20-25 other people presenting just like him, not COVID patients. That's where he met his first neurologist. The Daily Reality He walks like he's drunk all the time. He has to consciously tell his body what to do, tell his feet when to move, what direction, whether to bend his knee. He has no strength in his joints anymore. If he doesn't pay attention, he'll hurt himself. He can't run or jog, he knows better than to even attempt to make his brain do that. He was told not to stay in a wheelchair, or he'd never walk again. So he stays on his feet, trying to be "as human as possible." The Treatments He did the Peter McCullough protocol for about a year because his blood was in bad shape. They also found that PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic frequency) helps substantially, especially with inflammation in his brain. When he does it, he can function a lot better. The System He's permanently disabled. He was accepted into KITE, supposedly the best program in the world for his disability. But they cannot fix it. All they can offer are things to try to make life a little easier. And those treatments aren't covered. To access certain therapies, he had to be diagnosed with other conditions. He now has diabetes, and with that diagnosis, he can access some types of therapy. But he's been waiting for that therapy for over two years. Just last week, he got another call from Toronto telling him they can't fulfill his appointment and need to rebook again. He applied for support four years ago. They lost his file - twice. He's still waiting, told he's another 6 to 12 months from a decision. He was removed from a nine-week therapy program because he wasn't showing progress - they were treating him as a stroke patient, not for his actual condition. When he reached out to his MP, the response was that if his case is pushed forward, someone else will have to wait longer. "I don't like doing that," he said. "But the fact of the matter is, we're left here and we're afraid." He's afraid to even call and ask where his case stands, because he doesn't want to be seen as "a headache" and pushed back again. Years after these people were injured, they are still without real support. They're being ignored, lost in the system, treated as problems rather than patients, and forced to fight for every scrap of care while their lives quietly fall apart. Kevin's story is one of thousands, and it has to stop. Hopefully the Allison Inquiry represents a small step in the right direction, because these people deserve answers, recognition, and real help. They've waited long enough.

I think I did it! 30 mins idling. No leaks!

I don’t know what kind of meth head forgot to put clamps on the heater hose. Fairly certain they should be there. Car repair #3

We’ll soon be launching a new roast in honour of all our brave Canadian service members who have fallen at the hands of microaggressions. Introducing “Lil’ Muffin Decaf”! Each bag comes with a Victorian lady’s folding fan, a one-month ativan prescription, and a pamphlet entitled, “What To Do When Your Lieutenant-Colonel Calls You a Ze Instead of a Zir.” It will be quadruple-filtered to ensure not a single atom of caffeine stays intact.

The sweet sleepy town of Innisfil, Ontario (about 20 minutes from my cottage) has seen explosive growth in the last 10 years. Need I say more?

This is that crazy guy that drove 9 hours and showed up at my house. I immediately knew he was a danger to my life. The local police got involved. Then @__0HOUR1_ found all his insane social media posts where he was threatening other influencers and their families with serious threats. Then the FBI got involved and he was arrested within a few days. He has plead guilty and faces 5 years in prison. He hasn't been sentenced yet. Scary stuff. My first swatter who swatted my 3 times is now doing 4 years in prison. This will be the 2nd person to do major prison time for threatening me at my home and others. Nobody should have to live like this, The Left is nuts. I want to thank all law enforcement, local, and the FBI that was involved in this case.

Fifty years ago today, Charlie’s Angels hit ABC and TV was never quite the same after that. The series premiered on September 22, 1976, with Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, and Jaclyn Smith as three private investigators taking cases from the unseen Charlie Townsend, with Bosley in the middle of it all. It was created by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts, produced by Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg, and it quickly turned into one of those shows that everybody knew whether they watched every week or not. It had action, glamour, feathered hair, fast cars, and that phone speaker voice giving out the next assignment. The original run lasted five seasons, and even after Farrah left early, the show kept going with Cheryl Ladd stepping in and becoming a big part of the series too. For a lot of people, Charlie’s Angels was more than a crime show. It was pure 70s television pop culture. Who was your favorite Angel? I’ll go first.

This is my 24th update on Pennsylvania on the work I am doing to help @ScottPresler and his organization Early Vote Action to get out the votes for Stacy Garrity for republican governor and register more republicans and first-time voters. This midterm election compared to the last federal election in 2024. The democrats advantage has shrunk by almost 87k so please keep that in mind. Every single republican and conservative needs to get out the votes. We also need to get out the votes for Stacy Garrity for republican governor. This week I am sending 485 letters to Pennsylvania. 340 to Erie County and 145 to Monroe County. That makes my total letters sent to Pennsylvania this year at 5,770. I'll be shooting to send close to 500 to 600 letters per week leading up to the last day to register to vote in PA which is October 19th. Monroe County. Democrats last week had an advantage of 2,695 active voters. This week democrats gained +87 🔵 (2,783) Erie County. Democrats last week had an advantage of 3,388 active voters. This week democrats gained +65 🔵 (3,453). Pennsylvania. Democrats had an advantage or 37,738 active voters. They increased their lead to 43,285. (+5,547) 🔵 So here is what I am asking. I want to hear from you down below what you're going to do to step up thru election day November 3rd to help Pennsylvania. Scott and his staff are bringing in more people to help with the voter registration efforts on the ground and getting out the votes. They will add up to 72 staff members; they did bring in 15 more staff members within the last week. 1. You commit to send 10 to 100 letters to Pennsylvania every week, to any of the counties we need help flipping in the EVA App. We got multiple counties. We need to flip from blue to red or help Republican voters to reactivate their registration in some red counties. You can use my letters for reference, and you can campaign for Stacy Garrity too. Add a personal note if you want too. 2. If you can't do the first thing above. Please consider donating to Early Vote Action so they can bring in more staff members to help register more Republican voters and engaging with people on the ground. 3. You are more than happy to subscribe to me ($2) or send me a tip thru X money because I'm putting it towards more letters to send for Pennsylvania. I thank you those that are subscribed to me :). I appreciate your support :) 4. We have 246,760 inactive republican voters last week. This week we have 245,423 inactive republican voters in Pennsylvania either because they moved to PA recently or they haven't checked their status lately. We need help texting (Wayne and Pike counties and PA in general) in the app to help re-register republican voters. +1,337 🔴 We cannot give up. I was sick this weekend but managed to get this done. We all need to pitch in and make a difference. "We can do all things thru Christ who gives us strength"✝️. I thank all of you that are stepping up and helping us out. I will resume door knocking Saturday for AFPWI to help get out the votes and support for Tom Tiffany for republican governor here in WI. I will give you guys an update when it becomes available. @laurenboebert

Claustrophobic? Light sleeper? Then staying in a Capsule Hostel is not for you. Hostel quarters are following the same high density tiny squarefootage of urban apartment living in large cities. But if you are on a slim budget while traveling alone, you can save a lot of money, this one is in Washington DC is about $50 per night. Some are as low as $38. Someone snoring and talking on their phone is just on the other side of a Capsule wall. Sharing a bathroom and showers with the hall takes us back to dorm living of yesteryear. Would you stay in one to save money while traveling alone? I wouldn't. 🥱🫩

Horrifying... Michelle Worton was a nationally recognized dental professional. She sat on the College of Dental Hygienists in BC. She took the COVID shots because she was mandated to as a regulated healthcare professional. Within an hour of dose 1: racing heart, erratic blood pressure, chest tightness. Within 48 hours of dose 2: severe neurological onset - double vision, tunnel vision, tinnitus, incontinence, dizziness, inability to regulate temperature. Her first doctor blamed it on menopause. Since then: → 8+ white matter brain lesions → Cystic masses in her liver, pancreas, cervix, breasts, and BRAIN → A brain cyst so large it was compressing her skull - Canada wouldn't operate → She sold her dental practice, drained savings, crowdfunded $148K USD for private brain surgery in the US → Over $300K spent on medical care to date → Denied plasmapheresis in Canada in July → Told to hide her vaccine injury to even get a referral accepted → Stroke discovered in 2024 - never told → Spends 90% of her time in bed → Her children became her caregivers → She does not know how long she will live She was told the shots were safe and effective. She was coerced. Coercion is not consent. And when she was injured, she was abandoned, gaslit, mocked, and censored. Millions took the shot because they were mandated - to keep their jobs, their licenses, their livelihoods. Millions more took it because they believed the mantra: "safe and effective." They did what society told them to do. To abandon them when they're injured is a betrayal. To gaslight them, dismiss them, and deny them care is morally wrong. You don't get to mandate something and then pretend the casualties don't exist. Michelle Worton deserves care. Every vaccine-injured person deserves care. "No one left behind" was the promise. It was a lie.

So wonderful to see these big birds!

In 1986, Elle Macpherson landed on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and for the next few years she was everywhere. The Swimsuit Issue had already been around since 1964. It started as a way for Sports Illustrated to fill that slow stretch between football season and spring training, and somehow turned into something people looked for every year. Elle had first appeared in the issue in 1985. A year later, Brian Lanker photographed her first cover, and Sports Illustrated brought her back again in 1987 and 1988. Three straight covers. By that point, Elle Macpherson had become one of the biggest models in the world, and those Sports Illustrated appearances were a big reason why. She became known as “The Body,” and she would appear in the Swimsuit Issue across 10 different years. She eventually made five covers in 1986, 1987, 1988, 1994 and 2006. Nobody has appeared on more. If you were around in the 80s and 90s, you probably remember seeing those covers sitting right there on the magazine rack at the grocery store or drugstore. That first Elle Macpherson cover is 40 years old this year. Do you remember seeing Elle Macpherson on the cover?

Here are more photos of the Dionne Quintuplettes. Their life story is fascinating that they even survived the extremely rare birth 92 years ago. The last remaining quint, Annette, bottom image front, died last year at age 91.
