> Psalms 18:25-29 📖
With the merciful you will show yourself merciful;
with an upright man you will show yourself upright;
With the pure you will show yourself pure;
and with the perverse you will show yourself perverse.
For you will save the afflicted people;
but will bring down high looks.
For you will light my candle:
the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. 🕯️
For by you I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. 💪

So, it's my birthday this month.
On facebook i lie and say my birthday is in Feb.
Every year some friends, my aunts, uncles and cousins all wish me happy birthday in February.
It was a simple test to see how many people actually knew when my birthday was. Long story short no one cares - i always suspected.

I have just read the following from a friend in Wales. Sue, a veteran of Greenham Common, is in her late 70s & in poor health; & yet has been subject to arrest & imposition of unreasonable bail conditions, while her partner was subject to a raid on their home by police at 3am.
Her crime? To protest peacefully in defence of the right to protest.
The United Kingdom & its constituent parts have become, under a Labour government, a police state.

!["Bear with me dear friends, this is lengthy. But do read it if you are concerned about human rights and the direction of travel of this UK government. Or indeed, about crimes against humanity and genocide.
At the weekend I made a considered decision to join a silent, peaceful, sitting protest in Cardiff, in support of the campaign to de-proscribe Palestine Action. Most of you will be aware that this protest group was recently proscribed under the Terrorism Act, despite being non-violent. Members have been accused of damaging property (in Britain) which is involved in Israel's genocide and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Similar peaceful protests took place in London and Manchester. The police responses were different and in South Wales were much more draconian than elsewhere. I was held for over 30 hours and am now bailed on condition I do not stay away from home overnight, till October. Or go to Cardiff. Plus other things. Our house - and Alan in it - was raided by police at 3.00 am while I was still in a police cell.
My decision to protest was made primarily in defense of the right to protest, especially about Gaza . I knew that the Terrorism Act was powerful and punitive and I believed - and still believe - that using it against a non-violent protest group was a chilling step in the wrong direction. Hence the campaign to de-proscribe it. This is legal.

It surely doesn't happen every so often, that an allegedly "duly elected" administration deliberately engages in the overthrow of the U.S. government & the state's constitutional order, aided & abetted by highest members of the judicial branch.
It shouldn't happen even once, and members of the executive branch should think carefully about not being part of that attempted overthrow — because none of such illegal regimes ever lasted forever.
Hitler's didn't.
Stalin's didn't.
Pol Pot's didn't.
Saddam's didn't.
Gaddafi's didn't.
Al Assad's didn't.
Not even Putin's will.
Nor will Trump's puppeteers'.

Eggs are an absolute no go. Tried them and with no taste, it was automatic wretching. The texture with no taste just makes me hurl. Eggs are the worst with that...
@Zennagain
OK. Is it no taste, or no smell, the two being closely related. I’m just remembering my grandfather had esophageal cancer, and had a laryngectomy. He had taster, but no sense of smell. Salted the shit out of everything.
Sorry you’re going through this. Maybe supplement with a good protein powder? Although, the pure ones have no carbs. Is the diabetes due to the chemo?
