I really like "Long Stupid".

Apropos considering "'Long Covid".

John 10:27, eh? I know that one. That's the most significant short passage in the entire Bible, in my opinion. Perhaps it's worth another look.

My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I give eternal life to them, and they shall never die, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. The Father, who is above all, has given them to me, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.

Yo man !!!

I guess I can say I am “Long Smart” for not falling for the con and confirming my suspicions bye reading your post.

May the Lord Bless you and keep you and may His Light shine upon you !!!

Happy 4th to you and yours.

In my humble opinion, you would be an ideal leader to helm a self-improvement academy named Long Smart, guiding others toward greater knowledge and personal growth.

A HUGE thank you for wishing us a Happy July 4th! Very nice to hear that from a gentleman across the pond! I love that you posted the song "O What a Beautiful Morning!", very nice and a good reminder of a wonderful movie. Hope you are doing well, sir.

re: Trump - yes he does work in very mysterious ways, which is also the secret to his success. I've watched him for 45 yrs, he make moves that are unfathomable but when you figure it out later, then you can see how he outsmarted the enemy. He's getting America back on track and vanquishing the deep state and more people are beginning to see that every day. It makes this July 4th very special for us "Yanks". Hope all is well in your little corner of the world, your "Emerald Isle".

Hello! You may have read it, but I do think Trump is in this strange way a Revelation trump sounding. The past 5 years have been so bizarre nothing else really makes sense.

And thank you, I still struggle with energy although a little better I think. Back in 2020 I had the thought that my health affects the world and the world's health affects me.

So as I get better the world gets better and vice versa.

As to my little corner, well the traffic has got worse on the main roads and they have been building houses on what were fields. They make no provision for proper infrastucture, it was imposed on the county from central government.

But God is still good and our garden is looking beautiful in the sunshine.

By the way, the "Emerald Isle" is strictly Ireland due to its rainfall. Our grass is looking quite dry.

Very sorry to hear that about grass being dry; England was always very wet and emerald green when I was there, so very beautiful, but the last time I was there was in 1999. By "Emerald Isle" I was referring to the poem "This England".'

We're having the same problem here in U.S. with building houses in what were rural areas. The woods are disappearing. Glad your garden is beautiful!

Agree with you re: "Revelation trump sounding."

All the best to you, sir!

Thank you, mam! If you refer to Shakespeare's poem he refers to 'scepter’d isle', but no Emerald Isle that I can see.

Thank you, I stand corrected; my memory is not what it used to be!

Baldmichael’s Letter from England has bombarded Long Stupid’s position at Joketown into total surrender.

Now’s your chance — enlist in his Continental Army to secure your independence and prevent the forces of Long Stupid from mounting a rear-guard action. 🪖📜🔥

Long Stupid. How I long to correct those stupid words that I hear so often. This is the perfect title.

And it's still dry as a bone. Everybody is getting grumpy with the heat as opposed to grumpy with the rain. Unless the chem lines are done at night, or in the Atlantic, we have clear sky. I like the "homestead" it sounds much nicer than smallholder - which seems more insignificant. I need to cut the hay we only use it as duck bedding, so urgency to get the right fodder isn't applicable here - nor do we have a baler! Need to remortgage for one of those - nope, builders dumpy bags are the go to tool!

As for Mr Trump he does keep people on their toes - yes it's good, oh lawks that's bad! Here we have bad, worse, even more worse, insane and diabolical.
