This....

 

 


 

... is constantly proven by all of you that stop by here for a visit. I am still wading through the comments and PMs I received regarding my retirement post and what to do about blog hosting. Again, Thank you!

Life is busy so I don't always get to respond back in a timely manner. I read every comment before moderating and many of you have given me a laugh out loud , a smile or grimace, some inspiration or information that sends me on a trip down a rabbit hole.  Last night I had the best laughter as I envisioned those of you that chose to see what cannot be unseen. As I explained my maniacal laughter to the boss in the other room I got "what's wrong with you?".  I said "nothing, that I know of, but my readers are probably asking the same question"

Enjoy your day what ever it may bring to you.

  1. I couldn't agree more.
    I have met some truly outstanding people through the internet and you are a shining example of that my friend.

  2. I've actually met someone that have visited theferalirishman.
    She REALLY enjoyed FFF.
    That's how she rolls.
    She's a roller.
    A high roller baby.
    She is.

    1. That is funny Cederq.
      How anyone could turn Irish's post into something about globalism winning/conservatism being dead is beyond me. I think there is more at hand than "medical marijuana".

  4. While I don't comment often, I feel like I'm dealing with a friend.
    You're one of the best.

  5. I met one of my best friends, ever, via the Net and he lived all the way down in Australia. We talked via various messaging platforms on a daily/nightly basis for over 10 years. That friendship led him to come visit my family and I, then take a couple of months traveling and seeing more of North America than most Americans will see in a lifetime.

    Unfortunately, shortly after returning home to Aussie Land, he died suddenly from an undiagnosed heart issue. That hurt as hard as any death has ever hit me, family included.

    Good luck on the hosting issue and know that I'll be sticking around for the long haul here.

  8. I read the "Internet Friendship Exists" sentiment and kept waiting for the punchline:
    "Now go fuck with them."

  9. An interesting assessment about how friendships are made. The internet has changed a lot, and I would say overall for the better. Despite the anonymous vitriol of the social media, blog friends have become real friends who otherwise would never have met. I am fortunate to have made friends in this manner and have learned a lot in the process. Good people have an avenue to connect that didn't exist years ago. Heck I even know some people who got married through meeting online!

  10. Apologies but this is the craziest statement that I have ever heard! And just goes to show that no matter what anyone says on here, the "deep state" and globalism have won! Anytime ANYONE makes such a statement is PROOF that they had completely LOST the understanding of what constitutes a community! People can portray themselves as anything on the internet and thus what you see on here IS NOT what people are!

    If all that's left of conservatism is ridiculous statements such as this, then conservatism is well and truly dead! True Conservatism says: If you cannot see it with your own eyes, hold it with your own hands, then it is not real! The "Deep State" and Globalism would love it if the only expression of Conservatism was rantings on a blog, then The "Deep State" and Globalism can take control and own what is real!

    2. Go home, Jeffery (not the one from AL).

      Their latest talking point, Yes, we stole the election, but in a typically of us brilliant way is an admission of defeat. They tried to tell the world all those lawsuits were over nothing. They tried to tell us we were stupid. They tried to tell us we can't win.

      Brilliant takedown by Ace and the Time piece itself. If it isn't an admission of defeat, I don't know what is.

      Keep fighting, troops. We're winning.

    3. Just got back here after reading the newer posts and an alternate thought just occurred. I have always tried to give benefit of the doubt and boy has it bit me in the ass many times but things happen for a reason. Anon thinks like us but has given up. I would say to you don't give up. Some say never ever ever give up. They and you are not in control. God is in control and the daily insanity of some people sure makes it hard to reconcile. He has a plan and we are all instruments in that plan. What it is I do not know so daily I have to tell myself God is in control. In 58 revolutions around the sun on this beautiful blue marble things daily happen for a reason. Rarely is it revealed until sometime later. Most of the time you only realize it when you stop and smell His beautiful roses and take stock in our lives. Many here I have never met but I know if it came down to it I hope I would be brave enough to take a bullit or throw myself on a hand grenade for them. If it bites me in the ass so be it, I will be in a better place and you will be stuck here with all the assholes in this world.

  11. Whenever someone asks me "What's wrong with you?" I usually reply "I have a list. Would you like to see it?"

  12. And THAT is why I hang around this crowd. We're all of the BFYTW crowd, and give generously to each other when necessary. I am willing to share what little knowledge and experience after 67 trips around the Sun, and throw actual hardware when necessary.
    We 'uns dirt people, folks. And I couldn't be prouder. Or louder.

  15. I find it kinda weird how many folks I see commenting on different sites. We all seem to gravitate to the same places. Tells me were from the same tribe. I take it as an honor to be among such neat folks.
