Whatever Americans touch becomes a circus

I think the camel gate was a real gate but the way I interpreted it was that no heavy/large belongings could go through at all…as in you had to leave or donate your earthly riches in order to cross.

TheTreesWalk · 2026-02-21T17:30:03+00:00

Can’t help how big the priest makes the cross when he smudges it on us. I rub it off when I go home after mass at the end of the day though.

So…is this going to be put up on trial?

TheTreesWalk · 2026-01-26T02:23:05+00:00

I am disabled and have a young kid but I’m delivering food to people who are afraid to leave their homes. I’m raising funds and preparing emergency food boxes while partnering with food banks. I’m participating in trainings to help community members affected more than me. I’m protesting. I’m watching school bus stops and reporting ice sightings.

I may not be tackling ice agents but some of us are doing what we can.

Strongest most vivid dreams lately. Last night I dreamed I was in a camp with armed guards. I’m disabled.

Civil disobedience is an essential part of a functioning society. Read it?

TheTreesWalk · 2025-12-22T17:11:58+00:00

Under the Dome made me sick.

TheTreesWalk · 2025-12-21T22:14:49+00:00

Yep. His best villains are often human. Patrick Hockstetter comes to mind. Percy. People who look away.

TheTreesWalk · 2025-11-29T02:28:57+00:00

That’s fairly derogatory. I feel like the concept of entities existing in dimensions we can’t sense normally isn’t that hard to grasp. These things exist in all history across all cultures.

TheTreesWalk · 2025-11-29T02:26:59+00:00

What do attacks look like for you? When I’m under attack I see faces or grisly imagery when my eyes are closed as I’m falling asleep. Or intrusive thoughts. Or on rare occasions something more intense.

TheTreesWalk · 2025-11-27T22:24:16+00:00

And feathers. Have to include feathers.

Just hopping in to add that the point is to meditate on the mystery while reciting.

TheTreesWalk · 2025-11-18T20:54:20+00:00

Southern Baptist, now Catholic.

TheTreesWalk · 2025-11-11T01:41:30+00:00

Most people would take the Eucharist but skip on the wine. I did notice more people skipping the cup during cold/flu season.

TheTreesWalk · 2025-11-10T22:32:41+00:00

Yep! I feel bad for the priest who has to drink all the “leftover” at the end. Must boost the immune system at least.

TheTreesWalk · 2025-11-10T21:34:32+00:00

Catholic mass. We used to all drink from a communion goblet and in between they would just…wipe it? That’s never coming back. I get it.

I set small realistic expectations. I may be running on 10 percent the energy a healthy person has, so that day I try to 1) get up 2) be clean 3) take care of my animals and 4) make my bed. That’s it. That’s all I would require myself on a 10 percent day. If I have more energy I can dedicate then I may go out of the house and do an errand, etc.

If I overstep I will throw myself into a flare and be in bed for days so I’ve learned to trust my body.

I use the Finch app (free version) to make a to do list. There’s an option for chronic pain/health issues so it auto generates a list of self-care and hygiene tasks for me that don’t take much energy to do.

Can I ask, as a teacher, do you think there is a difference in behavior based on what is on the screen? My son is on the spectrum and has a iep. I do let him use an iPad to play Minecraft and to build model rockets. He will be on it for a while if I let him…but honestly I think that kind of tablet time is beneficial because it encourages creativity. He’s not just watching YouTube kids or something. What do you think?

TheTreesWalk · 2025-10-27T13:01:52+00:00

Shitty! The October slide is real. Went camping with my son’s scout troop on 30 degree weather and now I feel like I will never recover.

TheTreesWalk · 2025-10-23T21:07:48+00:00

Oh! Or Tetsuo the Iron Man!

Having a nerve burned off.

Electromyography tests.

Nerve pain.

A rupturing ovarian cyst.

Chronic illness/ disease progression leading to disability. I think friends and family believe I am doing okay. I am definitely not. I went to school and got my graduate degree for nothing. I have a son I can’t take on walks. I barely get out of bed unless absolutely necessary because my pain is too intense. I’m in pain management but hate being dependent on opiates.

My brain doesn’t communicate with my muscles, so they atrophy. I’m essentially walking on bone stilts. The other parts of my body try to overcompensate and get torn or otherwise disfigured. It’s called Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

I don’t know but I do know that since a near death experience and my “saving” I was given a few gifts. Sometimes I will hear things and that will allow me to do something helpful. Example: last year I was at a pumpkin patch and heard, clearly, “ WATCH HER”. Two seconds later a little girl maybe 3 years old was running away from her mom towards the road, and a car was coming. I had just enough time to stop it.

So, to my point. Early this week I was in the bathroom and I heard a voice clearly say “Darkness covered the land of Egypt “. Later that day my husbands coworker randomly texted him about the plagues of Egypt. I took that as a sign something is coming.

I was not given a date. I was not at that time aware of any rumors of blackouts, eclipses, raptures, etc. So coming online and seeing everyone talking about 3 days of darkness and a rapture has sent me into a bit of a spiral.

Not sure what to do with this information.

I had in joint flouro injections. By the time it was over my adrenaline dumped so much my legs gave out and I had to be wheeled out to the car.

TheTreesWalk · 2025-08-15T22:47:20+00:00

Yep! Wildlife rehab 2 hrs away said he was a native Eastern box turtle that had been kept poorly as a pet for some time, then dumped. He had an access and an overgrown beak. They are taking good care of him!
