Pope's Prayer Intention for July 2022: For the elderly

We pray for the elderly, who represent the roots and memory of a people, that their experience and wisdom will help those who are younger to look to the future with hope and responsibility, the pope said....

"In this world accustomed to war, we need a true revolution of tenderness," he said. "We have a great responsibility towards new generations about this."

"Let us remember: grandparents and the elderly are the bread that nourishes our lives, the hidden wisdom of a people..."

I just found out I've been gerrymandered into Chabot's district. EEWWWWW.

Thinking these would be soldiers most severely injured and maimed, etc. on both sides.

Article locked, but I'll look for details as they appear in other articles to come.

Sell the Pieta; Sell the Sistine Chapel. Sell the marble pillars of St. Peter's Altar.

Chip them up so they can be sold in souvenir shops.

No one wants silverware anymore, because of the labor involved in keeping it clean, etc.
The Vatican silver can be melted done and made into memorabilia and sold on right-wing sites.

My problem is the physician, who is not the original prescriber.

She told me she has "to protect herself".
I am an octogenarian, never even smoked anything and she has my complete medical history in front of her.
Yet I have to pee in a cup when I go routinely every 4 months, and last time the nurse took my purse away from me before I went into the bathroom.
I'm still livid about it.
Meanwhile, people are walking around with AR-15s and open carry, but old granny here is the one to be watched and inconvenienced.

Maybe federal causing refill problems, but states are involved as well, I believe.

He was an old time Irishman - reminded me of my father.

Quiet, subtle humor and wisdom.
Oh, how I miss that type of man.

The best part is that JD Vance's statements aren't being reported on local news casts

or in the local newspaper.

Ryan has new ads, but Vance is silent, at least as of now.

I suppose his campaign, supposedly well financed by Peter Theil and others, is planning a large campaign in the future, but, in the meantime, no noise.

The pet shelters are overflowing, according to what I'm reading on NextDoor, etc.

Seems like not enough of these new pet owners are getting their pets neutered in a timely manner.

Shelters are begging for foster owners to take in pets and socialize them when young, and to take others for a weekend or even a noontime walk, just to get them out of cages even temporarily.

Sad situation..

Huge CPAP supporter here. 18 years of using it nightly.

Can't imagine how I'd be living everyday life without it.
A good night's sleep equates to clear thinking throughout the waking hours.
Without good solid sleep, muddled, sloppy thinking.
