No, I don’t live in Seattle, but it sure feels like it sometimes. I didn’t even coin that phrase, “Sheepless in Seattle,” but I’m snagging it just the same.
Recently I got to wait in a parking lot at 7 AM staring at people lined up around the block out here in the middle of nowhere. It took me a couple of minutes to realize why they were there, all masked up and serpentined down the road.
They were there at the break of dawn to make sure they got to get their fifth covid booster. Yes, the fifth shot! The very same shot that does all sorts of things to the human body, but preventing covid is not one of them.
It was so surreal to me I kind of doubted my own eyes so I got out and went to look at the sign on the door. Yep, covid boosters.
Call me crazy, but if I’d already injected myself with an experimental substance twice, and still caught covid, I sure as heck wouldn’t be back for 3 more boosters without first asking some strongly worded questions.
Just to make it extra painful, the only 3 vaxx people I knew who were even willing to discuss potential drawbacks with me, are all now dead. How is that for a painful dose of reality. Disclaimer, correlation is not causation, or some such nonsense. Regardless, I’ll never know the truth, because we aren’t even willing to ask the darn questions.
Sigh. Let me just mention how tired I suddenly felt, how completely powerless. How alone. That’s a lie, the alone part, it is just what I felt like as I looked down that long line of glassy eyed stares and realized there was nothing I could say, nothing I could do about it, because they can’t even hear me. It’s kind of like being in a foreign country where you don’t even speak the language. Or perhaps it’s more like being stuck in the middle of the zombie apocalypse.
You know, I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of my life pleading with people not to put needles in their bodies….
Fortunately I was able to come home without making a scene, only to be greeted by a bunch of screaming from the druggies across the road. As usual somebody was threatening to kill somebody and somebody was overdosing. As usual there was a lot of noise like fireworks or gunshots or perhaps just someone dismantling the hood of a car with a sledgehammer. I don’t know all the details.
It’s kind of hard to relax or concentrate in the midst of all that noise so I sat down on the porch to observe and wait for the cops to arrive. A bit funny how I didn’t even think to call them myself, I just knew that eventually someone else would. Except…totally insane drug use is no longer really a crime in Wa, so a couple of ambulances came instead, and proceeded to just kind of hang out in the road, because they sure as heck weren’t walking into that mess without any law enforcement.
I guess nobody in charge of this state really thought that part through properly.
Also, I’m not even supposed to say “druggies.” I mean, “mentally ill people experiencing a routine health incident.” It’s just a RAD, meaning “rage, aggression, delusion.” The charging bull in a meth induced rage really just needs some compassion and a social worker. Check your privilege lady, and try to show some empathy. Maybe offer to make him a sammich. He’s probably just hangry.
I take note of the fact that for some reason, my own mental health is never even a consideration. Like, I’m the one walking about in the middle of a zombie apocalypse muttering to myself, grieving 3 untimely deaths from global warming, all while being subjected to sudden and repeated random loud noises. Is it possible I might need some compassion, a social worker, and a sammich?
Of course not! Allegedly it is people like me who are the root of the problem with all our potentially threatening doubt and lack of confidence in socially approved narratives.
It’s the gas lighting that is just gets so crazy making, the endless stream of bovine poo. I write because much like a millennial, some days I just can’t even.

“Allegedly it is people like me who are the root of the problem with all our potentially threatening doubt and lack of confidence in socially approved narratives.”
My most precious gift is my ability to look at “society” and see it for what it is, and to look at “authority” and see them for what they are. Which is, bat excrement crazy.
It’s like Mark Twain allegedly said,
“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

I, too, live in a rough neighborhood. Reba the Hound was sounding off again last night. It was 11 pm this time instead of the usual 4 am crack of dawn when the possums crawl back into their holes. I got out of bed to find out what was going on. I was met by a puppy and a girl dog from up the street and Terrible the Cat who recently adopted me, all demanding lubbin’s, and of course, a treat. I never did find out where Reba the Hound got off too. On Animal Planet, mankind must stay alert because he is always surrounded.
Seriously, though, the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated that a healthy portion of America is mentally ill. I mean, seriously neurotic. When my former employer’s HR lady came to the break room to announce the mask mandate I protested. “That’s stupid!” I exclaimed, “Americans don’t wear masks. America is the land of the free and home of the brave!” I didn’t get fired. Management let me go on COVID vacation for two weeks. I thought after two weeks everyone would come back to their senses. Management thought that maybe after two weeks, I’d come back to mine.
Two years later… Rampant crime, open borders, hyperinflation, trouble paying my bills because energy costs have doubled, genocide by drug overdose. And the doofuses who still think wearing masks and taking “vaccines” is going to save their immortal souls from eternal damnation.

Like Partnering With Eagles, I am kind of puzzled why you and your family stay there. To some extent we vote with our feet. When people are self-destructive, they tend to hate everyone around them. If the locals are willfully self-destructive, and we don’t want them to hurt us, we have to protect ourselves. Sometimes we must separate ourselves.

I can’t go along with this ‘people get what they deserve for being in a Blue State’ idea. Voter fraud on the West Coast is rampant and obvious (I’ve heard that New England is bad too); but you can’t get the GOP leadership at any level to contest any of it. They don’t want to hear about it.
I look at it the other way: if Conservatives in Red States want to abandon us, there’s no reason why we should help them either.

I have a post coming tomorrow that links to yours and talks a little bit about not buying into all the spoon fed divisions and instead trying to create some unity among the people. We’re not red states and blue states, we’re the United States.
Part of why I blog is to let people know, this is what’s coming your way, this is what you need to pay attention to. Especially true of something like the meth epidemic or the transagenda. Just a few years ago people in Idaho, a fairly red state, thought I was exaggerating about drag queen story hour at public libraries. It’s only just in the last two years that parents have gotten themselves labeled troublemakers for going to school board meetings.

What you described when you went home was a scene out of my hometown it is all like that now. The year before I left there we had two raids happen at the house two houses down the raids were 6 months a part. It is surreal when you see ATF and SWAT come through your yard in full riot gear, semi-automatic weapons and battering rams telling you to get in your house NOW!!! I was done I knew I wanted out of there at some point because of my crazy husband and that just sealed the deal.
Compassion for a meth addict? Compassion kills meth addicts the more you treat them with compassion the deeper they fall and not to mention they are dangerous. The reason they lose so much weight is because they don’t eat because eating brings them down. The hallucinate because they do not sleep. They see shadow people (I have my ideas as to why that is and what meth opens them to), tree people, people coming out of the ground, and so much more. Some of the things my daughter said she saw was horrifying. It feels like they have bugs in their skin and that is why they often have sores from picking and scratching their skin.
As for the fifth booster I am not sure I have words for how utterly stupid people can be. Some may say well they don’t know the truth, and I say hogwash the truth is out in the open they just refuse to look at it. They are so deep in now there is no looking back for them. They are on the verge of allowing genetic modification to their bodies not sure it will be zombies, but I am sure it will be nothing good either.

I so hear you about how surreal it is having the ATF and SWAT coming through your yard in full combat gear. A couple of times the military has come in to investigate some potential threat, and it’s really disconcerting, but the worse part is that the moment they tell you to stay put, I always have to go to the bathroom. 🙂
You are so right too about how compassion kills, at least when it comes to addiction. Many people don’t realize it, but we lost more young people to meth, fentanyl and heroin last year, than covid, suicide, heart attacks, and car wrecks combined.

I some times wish all I had to do is watch the sky for Jesus appearance in the sky. To hear that trumpet call and in an instance be in His presence forever, but I still have work to do.
I think the first time the ATF and SWAT came through my yard I was just totally in shock my hometown at that time was around 45 or 50K and that time things like that just didn’t happen there and we actually lived about 3 miles outside of town. The second time I had to go to the bathroom. One of the SWAT agents apologized later because he aimed his weapon at my dog who was in a pen and I screamed at him “Don’t you shoot my dog” Caleb the dog was understandably upset there were dozens of strange people in his yard. Thankfully no dogs or people were hurt that day or 6 months later.
I used compassion with my daughter the first time she became addicted to meth and I feel that was in part why she went back to it a few months later and it nearly killed her that time. I had to harden my heart at least on the surface to make her understand I was not going to put up with that nonsense from her again. I have often said many parents of kids addicted to drugs literally love them to death. What I mean is they allow their feelings to get in the way of the healing of their child. It is too hard for the parent to feel the pain of tough love. Deaths have increased because of the potency of the drugs getting across our border now. No one in Washington cares about that though. These SJW’s do not care that someone’s child is taking their last breath on a dirty mattress in a flop house or a ditch somewhere.

The question regarding why you’re still living where you do, hit home for me. Paul and I have only lived in our house for six years but have experienced drug addiction in the neighborhood. We have invested a lot of time and money in this little house, and we really like it here. Health issues are causing thoughts of moving, but that’s the furthest thing from my mind right now. Why should we move? Why should we cover our windows so that we won’t witness what’s going on in our neighborhood? Why do the good guys have to take the brunt of this? We should be able to fight for our homes and yards. We shouldn’t feel obligated to move. It’s the bad guys that should be booted out, but law enforcement has so many limitations now, it’s impossible to get them to take any action. Our schools are populated with children that have no discipline either at home or in the classroom. Both places used to have the right to discipline their children’s bad behavior. OK, I’m 80. I’m old fashioned, but I refuse to be kicked out of my own abode by some creeps who can’t manage their own behavior and don’t want to.

The bovine poo gas lighting has been exceptionally putrid lately, hasn’t it? And so many people are still falling for it, it just leaves me depressed honestly. I was at a party last night, catching up with 2 long term girlfriends. One had a horrible reaction after her first vax shot awhile back that put her in to A-fib and she had to have emergency surgery. We’d had many conversations about it and I thought there was no way she’d do another one, even her doctor advised her not to. Well she mentioned she “just had to” because the vacation to France she had been planning was becoming impossible due to their strict vaccine requirements. My jaw hit the floor and I realized there is not a damn thing I can do for anyone that puts their health at serious risk like that just to travel. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that France recently dropped all vaccine entry requirements.
The other friend present mentioned how she just had her booster and had a really rough time with it, but she was glad she had. Seriously, how does one deal with such stupidity. I hate to say that about my friends but it’s been that way for almost 3 years now, I just have nothing left to offer these people.

I hear that kind of b.s all the time.
