It's All About The Journey.
Had to laugh... when I read the above, the other day.
: ) : ) : )
You have No Idea... how many times I've had to do the above.
It's Truly... an Art Form.
; )
Better be Damned Good, and Quick... at Multi-taskin'... too. : )
I'll NEVER Forget a Very, Very... Hot Afternoon, in Bonaparte, Iowa.
Main Street.
: )
I've written about this many times, over the years. : )
Old Pal... and 'City Girl', then... Show Partner, Julie... and I were shopping in Southern Iowa.
We were driving the little Purple Ford Ranger.
: )
<3
The clutch safety switch was bad, so... told Julie... to NOT let me shut the little Purple Ford off, throughout our day.
I was fearful... It wouldn't start again.
We made it through the Entire... Hot, Hot... Day, Junkin'....
{no air... in the little Purple Ford <3}
when we pulled in at a Shop, in Bonaparte, out of habit, Not Thinkin'...
I Shut the little Purple Ford off.
GADS!!!!
: ( : ( : (
now...
Almost Always... it would start, but...
other times, especially... like.... the most
Inopportune Times, the little Purple Ford... would say... "No.", and....
I'd have to Push, Bail In...and Pop The Clutch!!
; )
Didn't want to have that problem, with Julie... so, didn't mean to shut him off.
: )
True to Form,
the little Purple Ford, said... "No."
when I turned the key.
{After... we were done shoppin'. : )
Didn't Want to Know... How Stuck We'd Be, 'before'... we shopped.}
: )
Oh my...
Julie... became a 'Farm Girl'... Pretty Quick, that day.
: )
Oh...dear.
When I turned the key, and nothing happened,
looked over at Julie... The 'Shotgun Rider'...
and broke the news.
"We're gonna have to push the truck."
; )
Julie... Bless Her Heart, Was All In!!
; )
Told her... we'd have to push it back... into the middle of Main Street, then...
push it down the street, as FAST as We Can.
Julie... was On Board!!
; )
{Main Street... Bonaparte, is very quiet.}
We pushed the loaded... little Purple Ford, back... into Main Street, then, I cranked him around... to head down the street.
: )
It was like a cartoon, watching ALL Of The Cars Come From Nowhere....
line up...
behind,
the little Purple Ford, Julie... and me.
oh my.
: )
When we started down Main Street, I was pushing on the inside open driver's door frame....
looked over, and saw Julie... also pushing on her passenger side inside door's frame.
DEAR LORD!!!
"Girl!! Ya Can't Push There!!! Door Wide Open!! We'll Hit Every Parked Car on The Street!!
Ya Gotta Push The Tailgate!!"
; )
<3
<3
{more car's from Nowhere...
are Lining Up. {and... people are looking out of the windows, of the Store Fronts.}
It was nearly 100 degrees that afternoon.
I looked at Julie, and said...
"We have to Run. Run Fast."
We Ran... Pushed that little Purple Ford, as quick as we could.
: )
I bailed in, at Our Quickest Time, put The Ford... in gear... eased off of the clutch,
chug...
chug...
chug.
: (
Not Fast Enough!!!
{more cars lining up... more people!!}
Kicked my shoes off, threw 'em in the truck...
told Julie...
'Faster!!! Faster!!! Faster!!!! We've Got To Go Faster!!"
again...
Julie, was All In!!
: )
<3
We got that little Purple Ford Rollin!!
; )
I bailed in...
popped the clutch...
Away... We Went.
<3
I glanced in the rearview mirror, to my horror, saw Julie's fingers Clinging for Life, on The Tail Gate.
Saw her Eyes... between her Frozen Hands, Clinging... to The Tail Gate.
Dear Lord!!!
I... gently... gently... brought The Ford, to a stop.
Julie... came Running around, to the passenger's door,
Flung It Open....
Completely... Out of Breath...
"He....He.....He........"
was all Julie... could muster.
: (
asked... Julie,
"Why... didn't ya let go of the truck???"
her reply...
"You didn't tell me too."
Used to think that was funny.
<3
Not anymore.
{well... parts of that Day were Very... Funny. ; ) }
Often... I expect people to understand, and 'know'... things, that...
unless you've walked through certain fires, there's no way.... you could know.
We're All... on such different Journeys.
So Incredibly Grateful, to, and for... Everyone... I've met on mine.
Indeed.
Been struggling with this election.
{I'm certain... You Had No Idea. : ) }
One person... that's really helped me wake up,
is Michael Cohen.
Cohen has a podcast.
He...was Trump's 'Fixer', Attorney, for about 12 years.
Nobody... was closer to Donald Trump, back then...
Nobody.... knows Donald Trump, better...
than Michael Cohen.
sadly...
when Michael wouldn't sell his soul...
well, look him up.
Here's what Michael said, today... and yesterday, in a nutshell.
Get over it. A little over half of this country voted for Trump. Let's see what they voted for.
<3
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

The Golden Rule.
At the very end, of the day...
the way...
I was taught, from the Tiny... little Cedar Bluff, Iowa... Church, I Faithfully walked to, every Sunday...
as a 5 year old...
we should Love our Neighbors.
Be Kind...
and...
Never Judge,
lest we be.
So...
I'm certainly not gonna judge, what so many have decided... will be a perfect President.
: )
Bless Your Hearts!!
<3
May God Bless...
This
Crazy Train.
; )
MAKE No Mistake...
I Would Never Ever...
vote for a
TRUMP.
Ever.
: (
{You do what You do.
We'll All be Living with Your choices. : ) }
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

Don't Judge a Book...
Don't judge a book by it's cover.
<3
Started this post, yesterday...
Was thinking about 'Thanksgiving's Past'.
Had started an entirely different post, but...
decided to switch directions.
: )
Was going to title that post...
'Holiday... 'rules'.'
Never realized it, until now... but, I've always... had them, since I moved out... on my own, with...
Beloved, Dolsey, {Great Dane} at 15.
'Holiday Rules'.
It's gonna take more, than a 'moment'... to pull that story together.
: )
Stay Tuned.
: )
<3
Found this late 1800's... 'Pretty Much Everything'... Book, while going through books, over the weekend.
: )
Searching for some interesting Pie recipes.
Something Old...
that would be New, to try.
; )
Love the recipe that's pinned to the top of the page.
Must Be a Really Good Angel Food Cake recipe, to be Pinned on the Inside Page!!
: )
Looks pretty simple.
; )
Loved 'These' Pages.
; )
They... were a Mess.
<3
so...
That...
tells me,
One of the recipes on these pages, was ...
'Mrs. A.L. Young
from
Zearing,
Story County, Iowa...'
's
'Favorites'...
in about
1890.
; )
Pulled the Zearing, Iowa... info from their City Page.
: )
Think...
Mrs. A.L. Young, was living in Zearing, reading, and Creating...
from
This...
Amazing... 'Book',
when that little Iowa Town, was just...
a
'Baby'.
<3
6, or 7... years old.
<3
There's Something... So Incredibly Wonderful,
Creating Awesome Food, from our Awesome
Ancestor's Favorite Recipes!!!
<3
When I go through these early... Cook Books, oh my.
I've collected them, for years.
The ones printed before, 1900...
oh dear...
I, truly... Fall Down a Rabbit Hole, while reading them.
<3
In the 1880's, and 90's...
most Folk's in Iowa... didn't have indoor plumbing.
No electricity.
Farmed... with Horses, and Mules.
<3
That's Where We Come From!!!
<3
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

Workin' on it.
Workin' on a long post...
concerning
'Holidays'.
<3
Really tried to get it done, today...
but, received some very sad news, a bit ago.
Our Dear Friend, Dale Frese... lost his Mom, Coletta, yesterday.
: (
Dale... has cared So, for his Mother... over the last many years.
<3
Visited with Coletta, a time or two. : )
She... Was an Amazing Woman!!
Iowa Farm Woman.
The Real Deal.
; )
Prayers for Dale...
and his Family.
<3
Love to Ya...
Barb C.
{For the record, neither... me, or... Coletta are/were... 'Trump' supporters. but...
what do we know??
We... could, would... ever forget the 1980's, in Iowa?
Nope.
: (
18.63% Interest Rates, in 1981.
: (
So Many.... Family Farms, like Dale's Family's...
Lost Everything.
: (
Everything.
Farm Ground in Benton County, in 1981... was selling for around a 1,000. an acre.
{near us... Amazing Ground}
Today... it's selling for a bit over 13,000.
I've heard as high as 20,000.
oh my.
Don't know how it'll ever pay for itself... even at The LOW 2024 interest rates.
Try 18%!!!!!
; )
Guess when people are starving, they'll pay anything for food, until all the money runs out.
Family Farm's are RARE, in Iowa... in 2024.
Heartbreaking.
I Pray... for Our Family Farmers,
Every Day.
<3 <3 <3
It Terrifies me, that 'millionaires', 'Billionaires'... will be purchasing,
and controlling our Farmers, and Farm Ground.
: (
let alone...
our Constitution, and... The Rule of Law.
: ( : ( : (
Yep...
I'm Drinkin' Tequila, which... I won't be, for long.
: )
Hispanic 'Men'... they say, supported trump, pushed him... over the edge.
: )
well,
No More Mexican Food, and...
No More...
Tequila.
No more... Vodka.
Putin, 'Russia' is most Certainly, on my list.
Done, and... Done.
: (
Grateful...
for Dear Pal, Skip's...
Whiskey of Choice, back in our day.
; )
Yukon Jack.
<3
A Blended Canadian Whiskey.

3000 Secrets.
Spent most of this day...
planning for Thanksgiving.
Picked up a few supplies, for Thanksgiving, yesterday... while Grub Shoppin'.
: )
Keep forgetting to ask... Son, Justin... if they're celebrating Thanksgiving, on Thanksgiving Day, or another.
Don't know... when the Girl's will be 'Home', for Thanksgiving, this year.
Pal, Allyson... invited me to join her, her Family... and Friends, on Thanksgiving, if Justin changes the day.
: )
<3
Either way... I'll be doin' some Thanksgiving Cookin'.
; )
<3
Love... Love... Love...
Thanksgiving.
<3
oh... my.
So Love to Cook!!
<3
LOVE...
The Thanksgiving 'Aromas'.
<3 <3 <3
Don't believe Holiday's are ever 'perfect', for most Folks, but...
have sure enjoyed striving for as close as I could get, year...after year.
<3
Spent... part of this day, cleaning house.
: )
After the 'Surprise Visitor', felt... I'd better get things in a bit... better order, around home.
oh my.
; )
While cleaning... ran across the above, 1895 Book.
: )
: )
: )
John had been reading it, last.
; )
Found cigarette ashes inside a few of the pages.
: )
<3
Pretty much, everything, in John's Room, has been untouched, since he went away, in 2014.
It took me several years, to be able to open the pocket doors, to the North side of the house...
John built,
except...
on
Holidays.
: )
<3
Took me a few years more, before I could walk inside... John's Room.
I've found great comfort... sleeping in John's Old... La-Z-Boy, while fighting with Fairfax, and The Iowa Department of Transportation, over the last... 'too many', wrongful...
years.
I'm So Incredibly Grateful...
on so many... levels.
While... going through things, in John's Room,
today...
found some legal documents...
from our First IDOT Condemnation...
in the 1990's.
Grateful.
'Bull Dog' Bill Meardon...
was our 'Perry Mason', back then.
: )
<3
{Oh Lord!! What a Lawyer!! Bill Meardon, in my eyes, back then...
was
Truly...
'Perry Mason'.
; )
Here we are, again.
: (
Charles Meardon, is representing us, and has been, for far too long.
: (
Yep... Bull Dog... Bill's, Son.
{Oh my. : ) 'Perry Mason', Would Be So PROUD!!}
then...
ran across...
the
Mountain's
of
Sympathy Cards, from 2014.
<3 <3 <3
: ( : ( : (
I, couldn't... and haven't been able to look at them.
: (
I apologize... to Everyone, I Love So, for not responding.
: ( : ( : (
This Is Why...
'Cleaning House', is Such a Huge Mistake.
Heartbreaking journey.
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

Oh... dear. ; ) nothing... surprises me anymore.
Picked up a load of Treasures, yesterday....
Cool Things.
<3
Had to dig through an attic, and basement... a little, which...
wouldn't be a bad thing, except...
I, didn't get much rest, the night {morning } before.
Think... I might've went to bed, around 4 a.m.
; )
Those damned Fairfax, Iowa... 'Council' meetings, well...
they kinda do me in.
: (
oh my.
I have no confidence... or respect, for most everyone at
Fairfax, Iowa...
City Hall.
: (
'Trust'...
is
Everything to me.
once...
that's lost, well...
it's difficult...
looking at Folks,
being in the same room, and...
breathing the same air,
being in the 'presence' of those who've
knowingly...
willingly...
deliberately...
intentionally...
betrayed...
'Trust'.
gads.

{needles in my eyes}
November 13, was Grandson, Justin's 15th. Birthday!!!
{HOW Did That... Happen???}
<3
<3 <3
<3 <3
<3 <3
Offered to Take 'J'... Wherever He Wanted to Go... for Lunch!!
'J' chose 'Mikey's' {where The Fairfax DQ used to be.}
: )
{'J' HATES to have his picture taken. : ) Don't Understand WHY???
He's Sooooo HANDSOME!! : ) <3 }
When we left Mikey's...
turned Old... Jethro Loose.
: )
THAT...
brought a Huge Smile, to Justin's face.
: )
Told Justin,
'Jethro... and Grandpa, John...
wanted to give him a
'THRILL'...
on his 15th.
Birthday. '
: )
<3 <3 <3
After bringing the load home, yesterday... oh my.
I was so cold.
It was damp... and windy.
I, was beyond weary.
Literally... Chilled to The Bone.
I'd fixed a BIG Kettle of Veggie Soup, so...
filled a bowl, with Hot Soup...
found my way to John's Old... La-Z-Boy, in his room...
T.V. Room/Man Cave, to have lunch.
Was watching Gunsmoke... wrapped up in a WARM Blanket,
oh my.
Seems I nodded off to sleep.
Something... woke me up.
???
Heard someone talking.
Was half asleep, thought it was Grandson, Justin...
talking to someone on his phone.
???
Kept hearing...
"Hello... hello.... hello...?"
so, I said...
"Hello."
: )
{Still fully reclined, half dozing, wrapped in the Huge, Warm Blanket.}
A Man... was standing in the doorway, to John's Man Cave.
: )
I...said,
"Hello.: ) "
{didn't sit up... just, said... 'Hello'. : )}
said...
"Seems...you've caught me napping. ; ) How can I help ya??"
The Man said...
"I was just wondering if you have any Buddha's for sale???"
I... said...
"Well, sadly... I don't... and... 'This' isn't my store... this, is my home...
so, please Ignore the Dust. ; )
{I Should Be Keepin' This House Cleaner!! Gads!!}
Still... fully reclined, asked the Man... to let me think, for a moment, about Where... he might find a Vintage Buddha???
Directed him to 'Artifacts', in Iowa City.
<3
They Get Some Very 'Unusual' In.
: )
The Man... repeated the name, I'd suggested... then, headed back up the stairs, and through the house, but... when he reached the top of the landing, he said...
{I'm still reclined, : ) he had to find his own way out. : ) }
"Cool House."
: )
Thanked him.
; )
oh my.
Miss. Peanut, didn't do a thing.
Hahahahahaha!!
think...
it was probably, because I remained calm.
; )
She can be a 'pistol'.. with strangers.
; )
<3
{If someone is seeking a Buddha, I'm guessin'... they are pretty Zen.}
<3
Pal, Steph... made some AMAZING Pasta, last night.
Duck/Chicken... Lemon Cream... Pasta.
Surprised me with a Huge Sample!!
Left it at The Door!!
OMG!!!
OVER The Moon...
Awesome.
<3
WOW!!
Received an email from our Mayor, this morning.
; )
I'm guessin' we'll be receiving a letter, soon.
I'm also... guessing, my repeated questions, concerning the Impact to our land, by them, and IDOT... for The West Cemetery Road Bridge Bike Trail... Hall and Hall Engineering designed, will Not be answered, yet... again.
: (
yeah...
nothing...
surprises me, anymore.
; )
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

Needles... and, 'Imagine'... If You Will. ; )
Stumbled across the above, 2013 FB post, today.
Seemed Fittin'.
; )
It's Always... 'Fittin', in my opinion.
; )
Ashley, Daughter Liz's Dear Friend... had shared it with her, then... Liz, shared it with me.
<3
Unloaded The Ford, this morning.
Grandson, Justin... Helped Much!!
: )
Today... is J's 15th Birthday.
<3
Can't Believe... It.
oh... my.
: )
I'll be writing about 'our'... portion, of 'His Day'... tomorrow.
<3
The Fairfax, Iowa... City Council Meeting, was interesting.
: (
{Needles in my eyes, like always.}
More on that, and 'them'...
soon.
bless their hearts.
My body, is still in recovery mode, after JJJ.
my...mind,
well...
Fairfax, and IDOT... have done their very best to Fry my brain, over the years.
; )
Their 'Tricks'... are quite interesting.
; )
Moving...' Bumping'... the Item on the Agenda... at Fairfax's Council Meeting, last night...
that was 'Pertaining' to our property Much Earlier, yet... not announcing that 'Bump'...
until the meeting was in
Progress.
Hmmmm.
???
{Grateful... I, was there at the beginning of The Meeting, but, still caught me off guard. }
Didn't like that.
: (
IMAGINE...
If you will,
Bill and I... would change the Entrance Order time at an Estate Sale.
Let's say...
we'd publicly announced The Sale to Open at 9 a.m., Numbers... at 8.
but...
decided, as Folk's were in line, at 7... for 8 a.m. numbers, to just let Everyone Inside.
: )
To Hell with Everyone Else... enroute to The Sale, counting on us...
to
Keep Our Publicly Posted Word.
oh....
dear.
: ( : ( : (
Bill, and I,
I can Confidently...
Assure You...
Would Be Burned at The Stake,
by
The Estate Sale Attendees, who Trusted Our Publicly Advertised Schedule,
who arrived at 7:45 to Find The HOUSE Full of Shoppers, Way Ahead of Them.
; )
That Kinda Crap... 'Doesn't Play', in 'Our World'.
Only.... at Fairfax, Iowa... City Hall. }
; )
We'll see if The City's Clerk... has 'Malfunctions' with The City's Camera, yet... again.
: )
Seems every single time, I attend a Meeting, and ask questions, the camera
'malfunctions'... for Fairfax's YouTube Channel.
oh my.
Got a Little...
Heated... last night.
oh dear.
; )
Was gonna stay until the end, ask more questions... when 'Citizens not on the agenda', have an opportunity, but... decided to save my questions...
for another meeting, in the near future.
; )
My eyes... can take only so many...
'Needles'.
: )
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

Oh my. Another Round.
Seems, some things... never, never change.
: (
Heading to a Fairfax, Iowa... City Council Meeting, tonight.
Didn't post the comments, from the above 6 year old FB post, but....
it was all about a 'trail'.
: ( : ( : (
Iowa Department of Transportation, Fairfax... and what has taken Years, to unravel.
Still...
Unraveling.
: (
Needles in my eyes.
I Thank God...
for
Lawyer Meardon.
He's Working Tirelessly, and has been, for Far, Far....
Too...
Long.
: (
This ALL...
Could've been prevented, had IDOT simply Kept our Recorded Agreement, 6 years ago.
Often wonder... how so many, many... Lives may have been,
'different'
had Fairfax, and IDOT... simply told me the truth, from the beginning.
and...
IDOT... kept our Signed, Recorded...
Agreement.
{not... good, when I 'think' about that.}
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

Soulfulness. It's All... about the 'Journey'.
Oh my Goodness!!
This Young Person...
'Freddy',
Fell in Love, with Friend, Kathleen's Drum, Sunday morning.
but...
'Mom'...
said "No." to the purchase.
: (
The Mad Hatter...
said,
"Merry Christmas... Freddy!!
: ) : ) : )
I Know... Kathleen would Want YOU To Have This!!"
<3 <3 <3
Told Freddy, All About Kathleen...
<3
What an AMAZING Music Teacher She Was... and So Much More!!
<3 <3 <3
Kathleen Devoted her Life... to Children, and Music.
<3 <3 <3
Freddy is in a Marching Band, and... Loves Music.
<3 <3 <3
Meant To Be.
<3
The 'Rabbit' Girl.
<3
She's Such a Sweetheart.
: )
Several... of The Rabbit Hole's Bunnies, have found their way to Junk Jubilee, over the years.
She fell in Love... with The Big Bunny, I brought in, Saturday morning.
<3
: )
He... was kinda pricey... {Special Bunny <3}
The Rabbit Girl, told me... she had to take a lap, around The Show, to 'think'... but, when she made it back to our booth, The Special Bunny, had found another Home.
{A Very Good One, I assured her. <3}
Late in the day, on Sunday... she stopped by, and showed me A Treasure, she'd Just Found!!
<3
It's a Darling... 1970's Rabbit Purse.
: )
Love It!!
<3
A Very Sweet Neighbor, at JJJ... had purchased a few Treasures, from Simply Iowa.
<3
When I delivered them, noticed an AMAZING Quilt, she was using for display, under an Old... Old... Painted Cupboard.
oh my.
It...
Grabbed me.
<3
You couldn't 'see' much of it, but... didn't have to.
It... Has 'Soul'.
Wow!!
We worked out a Trade.
: )
said... to my Pal, "Ya Know.... What Grabbed Me, about This Old Soul???"
She pointed out the long.... worn, and shredded fabric, circled in the above image.
{Which I LOVE <3}
: )
No...
: )
it was the sharp... cut, pointy pieced pieces, in a square, that looked like broken glass,
or... broken mirror shards.
Unusual... 'Crazy Quiltish'.... Piecing.
It...
Grabbed me.
<3
My Pal... kept it through JJ, for display... so, I... didn't get to 'See'... The Quilt, until we were loading out, last night.
Nearly Dropped, when I laid this Quilt Out, to be able to take in...
The Entire 'Picture'.
Was Frozen... in my tracks, while examining it.
What I couldn't see, of The Soulful Quilt, while being used as a table cover...
was The Rest of The Story.
oh my.
The other end, most likely... the top/first edge/row, began as a Log Cabin Quilt.
{Log Cabin Quilt's became popular with President Lincoln, in the 1860's... as he was born in a Log Cabin.
<3
The center of a Log Cabin square... is usually red, to represent The Hearth of The Home.}
then...
as the rows of Squares...went on, in this Soulful Quilt,
it was like...
The Log Cabin...
was
Shattered like Glass, or... a Broken Mirror.
: ( : ( : (
I've Never Seen, Anything.... Like This Amazing Piece.
Ever.
TOTALLY 'Understand', This Quilt.
<3 <3 <3
oh my.
<3
It's So Perfectly.... Worn.
<3
It's Been Used, and Loved.
<3
It's all hand pieced.
The stitching isn't 'Finely'... done, but... It's Beautifully, and Soulfully...
Done.
: )
<3
This... Old Soul,
Tells Quite a Story.
: )
We sold... All of The Lovely, Early... 'Pristine' Quilts, that Hank brought, that had belonged to his Wife, and my Friend, Pam... over the weekend.
<3
They All went to Loving Homes!!
Into... Appreciative Hands!!
<3
That's All Hank Wanted.
<3
: )
They Were Beautiful... Quilts.
<3
They'd been finely quilted, way back, then... saved, in a Blanket Chest, for over a hundred years.
: )
barely used.
: )
but...
I... wasn't interested in one of them.
Not... my style.
: )
SO Appreciated Everything About Them...
from The Fabrics, to The Handwork!!
GADS!!!
Beautiful!!!
just...
not my 'style'.
: )
Above...
Is, my style.
<3
The Fabric... on the back, of The Soulful Quilt, is... incredible.
Early...Early...Early.
<3
Miss... That Polly!! <3
Indeed.
<3
; )
As a Very... Very... Wise Friend, told me Long... ago,
"It's All... About The Journey."
: )
Went through the documents Fairfax's Mayor... sent on Friday, a little more thoroughly, this morning.
I... really shouldn't have.
: (
Just... coming off of a Long, weekend. Many Long weeks, well...
; )
going over what she sent,
{was... 'provided' to her.}
; )
hahahahahahaha....
oh my.

Every time... over the years, having to 'deal'... with Fairfax, and IDOT District 6,
concerning The Fairfax Bike/Trail... 'accommodations',
that... 'aren't and weren't'... and... blah, blah, blah...
Yet Are,
and have
left Us, in a Basin...
an
old
saying...
comes to mind...
'If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance...
baffle 'em, with 'Bullshit'.
{or, from my seemingly Never Ending...
experience...
Bury... 'em,
Drown 'em...
in 'Bullshit'. }

My...
humble opinion.
bless all of their hearts.
