triumph (We will no doubt triumph in all our brave deeds. I can see an epic movie being made about us!

I must say, I like that the first thing you mention in your list of what is important about our exploits is your beard! I completely agree! Concerning my hemophobia, I can almost forget that I have it until I accidentally cut myself or see someone accidentally cut themselves, then the feeling can be quite overwhelming. I've heard it gets better as you get older. In my case, it's gotten worse lol The first time I noticed I had a problem was when I was 18. I seen my dad cut himself while he was working on his truck. It didn't phase him at all and he kept working. Meanwhile, an awful feeling swept over me and I went inside. For me, it always feels like there is a ball of barb wire twisting in my stomach. My vision started to go white. Fortunately, I laid down before I completely lost my vision and passed out. These days I know to immediately cover the cut/wound and quickly set or lay down. It's certainly not something I'm proud of. I'd be absolutely useless in the medical field!

Fortunately, the Whangdoodles have blue pudding for blood, or there would be no "daring duo"...you'd be the only daring one in our adventures! You are the strength by my side!

Toxic-fang-induced-river-blindness! Sounds like the perfect thing for our enemies!
Repetitive strain injury is why I have to take glucosamine and MSM supplements, which helps immensely.

I spread my supplements out through the day. Thank you for your the advice about shalijit! I've been eyeing some options on iHerb.

If I read the Baron Trump books, I'll let you know my thoughts on them. I do believe that other dimensions exist (although not in a secular way of believing in them). I believe that this explains why abductees claim to see the materialization of "aliens" through their walls. The "aliens" aren't coming from outer space, but they are interdimensional. I have a hard time figuring out what I believe as far as time travel goes. I'll just give some of my feeble thoughts on the topic. Jim Wilhelmsen talks about it in the book I mentioned previously and before reading his book I didn't think much about it beyond sci-fi movies. It's a bit of a reach for me to believe in time travel. However, I do believe that the Lord is not bound by time and therefor He must be able to travel to any point in time and space. So, in that respect I believe in it. I will say that I do not put off the possibility, but I really have deep doubts that we can time travel...at least not in our fallen state. However, this is one of those areas I think is interesting, but I'm not solid on my thoughts about it (I'm solid on things like advancement in the antediluvian world and the corruption of our genes at that time, and also today or if not today then in the future...but time travel is bit of a wonky area for me).

I personally think that we still have a ways to go before we are at the "end times" and I think that there is a lot of fearmongering going on. I was hearing the exact same things in the 90s as I hear today, that soon the bleep will hit the fan. However, that does not mean I don't think we are heading in that direction! We certainly are heading in that direction. I just don't think we are going to get there as fast as others seem to think. I seen many times people getting out of sorts about one occurrence or another. They advise everyone to store food, store guns, go off grid, etc. etc. Don't get me wrong, as a very pro gun person, in my view point it's always always a good idea to store guns and ammo...I just don't think it's a good idea to do so with a fear that the bleep is going to hit the fan soon. I think we should always be prepared, but without paranoia. I believe fear is what they want. They want us to be afraid. Best thing to do, in my mind, is draw close to the Lord, be strong spiritually, and seek His wisdom. Anyway, my reasoning for my viewpoint is that I believe we still have some advancements to make. I just don't think we are where things were in Noah's day. I believe that most of the people walking the Earth in those days weren't fully people. I don't think God wiped out everyone except Noah and his family because everyone else was just really sinful. Of course, there was an immense amount of sin going on, but the big problem was genetics. In my viewpoint, Noah and his family were the only people left who were actually fully people (genetically). The work of I.D.E. Thomas, as well as Rob Skiba, are some of the more intriguing in this area of thought.
Also, I've read one of David M. Jacobs books, and though his book isn't a Christian book, I found his research to be fascinating. He didn't believe in the abduction phenomenon, but after his research he now says that he fears for his children's future. I had found one of his books at the library, but they've since removed it. Notice how they remove all the good books! I am eyeing one of his other books on ebay.

I like your descriptive, thorough, and even comical message to the Whangdoodles on International Day of Visibility for all Whangdoodles! Very clever.

Btw, over the weekend I watched Wonka, I don't think it came to the theaters in the U.S. until last December. Since I haven't been keeping up with all the latest movies, I didn't even know about it until just a couple of weeks ago. I watched it on Amazon. At first, I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. For one thing, I didn't realize it was partially a musical and I kinda have to be in the mood for musicals. I kept watching though and it got better. The last half was entertaining. My favorite of these movies is still the 2005 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I think I went to see that it at the theater at least 4 times! Anyway, my least favorite of these films is Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971). I don't think it's due to it being before my time, 'cause even Roald Dahl didn't like the 1971 version and he's the author.
I read the book when I was in grade school at the recommendation of my librarian, and I enjoyed it. I don't read fiction much these days, but I should revisit that book just for nostalgia's sake. Anyway, Whangdoodles is mentioned in the 2005 film, but it's not mentioned in this recent movie I watched. And I was hoping to at least hear one of the characters say "Whangdoodle!" One of the funniest things that happened in this new movie is when Rowan Atkinson was running and screaming as he was being chased by a giraffe in a church. Quite hilarious. Also, I tend to find Hugh Grant annoying, but he actually made a very good Oompa Loompa. I only brought all this up due to the Whangdoodles, but unfortunately there wasn't anything to report concerning them!

I must confess, I don't listen to any Christian music at all. I have a whole assortment of "sinful" music on my mp3 player, but not one Christian song. I always have a playlist of "sinful" stuff going during workouts.
I too wear pants or shorts, although I think on this one, it's probably sinful (if not illegal) to actually not wear pants or shorts (at least in public), so I wouldn't sweat too much on that one being a sin.
LoL! Good point! Being that I'm a female though, some of the ultra conservative religious folks think I should be wearing a dress or skirt. Whats more, they think it should go to the ankle, or nearly to the ankle. I'm not wearing something like that lol. My grandmother (the duct tape lady) thought long skirts were absurd, I guess she influenced me. I don't wear skirts often, but I do occasionally wear them. I absolutely do not like the kind that go down to my ankles. All my skirts are about knee length. So, in their mind, I can't even pick a proper skirt! :eek:
I agree with you about zionism and am very thankful for your wisdom. Your wisdom is a blessing that has captivated my attention.
Truly, I wish more people had the same viewpoints as you!

I question everything, especially anything and everything that is found on fb. I am shocked at the amount of posts I see that are obviously full of rubbish and yet people are believing it. Boggles the mind. Actually, it doesn't boggle the mind anymore.

That area where I was hiking barefoot (on the trail in the pic of my last post) has a lot of large rocks along it, and plenty that are larger than what you see in the picture. It was quite fun climbing up on to the rocks. There are also some structures made from large rocks in that area. For example, there is an old defunct bathhouse made of large rocks, it's about a mile or 2 from that area. I've climbed to the top of it while barefoot. I'm kinda short. No, not as short as an Oompa Loompa lol. But, this causes most the rocks to be a climb for me.

I've been getting calls from the CDC (Center for Disease Control). They want to ask questions about Covid. I haven't felt like being bothered to give them any of my time though. Anyway, I've visited the CDC in Atlanta. When you go in there, they search you and everything you have. Then you have to be scanned and all this and that. It was actually more of an adventure just to get into the place than it was to have a look around lol. I went to the museum portion of the place and took plenty of pictures. You aren't allowed into the area where the disease stuff is going on.

As I type this, my area is in a tornado warning. Sirens and lots of loud weather going on. Despite some of the smashing qualities of this area, the weather is quite terrible here :sneaky:

I hope your Monday was a smashing beginning to your week! And I hope it has been without severe weather or any beginning of April foolery or any Whangdoodle shananigans!)
