Mot: ...... the woman at the end of the street
We live about a half mile from the bus stop.
There are nine kids (including my three) who live along the half mile stretch leading to the bus stop.
My kids love taking the bus because they love hanging out, talking and playing with their friends before the bus arrives.
There’s a family who lives right at the end of the street close to the bus stop.
The youngest daughter is about to graduate from high school and will leave for college in a couple months.
It could go either way living near the bus stop.
A Special Message from Goldilocks Late Wednesday Evening 1-31-24
A Special Message from Goldilocks Late Wednesday Evening 1-31-24
Good evening, it is with a deeply sad heart that I have been moved to write to you tonight. Salty, a friend to so many of us on this journey has been affected the last few days by a group of people who are going around telling people in various rooms that they have to belong to their room or they will not be able to exchange and that the law will be coming after them.
This threatens the emotional well-being of people and disturbs their souls, and this is why I am sending this message tonight.
Folks, we live in a world whereby free speech still exists. Even though various opinions may be out there in Dinarland we all don't agree with, it is important to have them for they touch people in different ways from people who care about others. It is important for us to move into a place of higher ground with each other.

POPEYE® THE SAILOR MAN DAY
January 17 marks the 95th Birthday of the world’s most famous spinach loving, nautical hero — it's Popeye the Sailor Man! Today, we are taking epic strides to honor this legendary sailor who is tough and fit with tons of grit, as one of America’s most renown, pop-culture icons. After all, he yam what he yam!
#PopeyeTheSailorManDay
Popeye is the seeming underdog with bulging forearms, a mean uppercut, and a love of canned spinach. He is a defender of the weak and protector of those he loves. As the embodiment of strength and fitness, Popeye inspires us all to work hard, care for others, be persistent, and stay strong to the finish. Of course, all with the help of a hefty amount of spinach. In 2024, we are celebrating 95 years of this iconic figure, and the timeless inspiration Popeye has brought to billions of people.
Popeye was created by Elzie Crisler (E.C) Segar and made his first appearance in the comic strip "Thimble Theatre" on January 17, 1929. Originally created as a minor character, Popeye quickly became a super star. By 1938, the comic changed its name to “Popeye,” creating one of the most iconic cultural comic strips of all time.
The Little White Envelope

Mot: THE LITTLE WHITE ENVELOPE:
"It's just a small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree. No name, no identification, no inscription. It has peeked through the branches of our tree for the past ten years.
It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas. Oh, not the true meaning of Christmas, but the commercial aspects of it – overspending and the frantic running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and the dusting powder for Grandma – the gifts given in desperation because you couldn't think of anything else.
Knowing he felt this way, I decided one year to bypass the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so forth. I reached for something special just for Mike. The inspiration came in an unusual way.

A Brief History of How Nutcracker Dolls Became A Christmas Symbol for the Ages
A Brief History of How Nutcracker Dolls Became A Christmas Symbol for the Ages
Around the start of December, it’s not unusual to see decorative nutcrackers on store shelves, arranged on mantelpieces, hanging from Christmas trees, and even decorating holiday sweaters. For some, their colorful outfits, hand-painted faces, and tufts of white hair are the very definition of Christmas cheer. But have you ever wondered how these nutcrackers got to be so popular, and why people usually only bring them out at Christmastime? The answer involves German literature, a Russian ballet, and lots of generous American G.I.s.
From Basic to Beautiful
Humans have been using tools to crack nuts for thousands of years. The earliest designs were merely two pieces of wood joined by leather or a metal hinge, but as the centuries progressed, artisans started to create figurative designs for nutcrackers, such as brass crocodiles in India and cast-iron squirrels in England.
White Hat Auxiliaries Briefing #198
2023- Politics BLeW, CRYPTO Grew as THE GLOBAL SETTLEMENTS Aim For a Coup
White Hat Auxiliaries Briefing #198 Dec 23
We come to the end of another year, our 11th with you. I once again invoke dominus privilegium and address you directly, except where indicated otherwise. This will be the last briefing of the year.
What a year! Thank you all for your incredible contributions to the discussion section. The amount of information shared was tremendous, spread across a diverse subject matter too varied to note here. Having the freedom to share whatever one wishes (within the bounds of common decency) has created fertile soil for interchange of ideas, the revealing of historical expurgations, and sharing of valuable information which many might find beneficial in their daily lives.
Some important items to review and discuss as we approach the beginning of 2024:
Global Settlements
Most of our readers know that the GS is now proceeding along a BRICS pathway. Key to this, the South Korean president recently paid a visit to London.
A recent communiqué from our London GS trustee on this visit:

A Civil War Cartoonist Created the Modern Image of Santa Claus as Union Propaganda
Thomas Nast is legendary for his political cartoons, but he’s also responsible for the jolly St. Nick we know today
You could call it the face that launched a thousand Christmas letters. Appearing on January 3, 1863, in the illustrated magazine Harper’s Weekly, two images cemented the nation’s obsession with a jolly old elf. The first drawing shows Santa distributing presents in a Union Army camp.
At a Gas Station on a Cold Christmas Eve............
A NEW CHRISTMAS STORY . . .This story is better than any greeting card.
The old man sat in his gas station on a cold Christmas Eve. He hadn't been
anywhere in years since his wife had passed away. It was just another day to
him. He didn't hate Christmas, just couldn't find a reason to celebrate.
He was sitting there looking at the snow that had been falling for the last
hour and wondering what it was all about when the door opened and a homeless
man stepped through.
Instead of throwing the man out, Old George as he was known by his
customers, told the man to come and sit by the heater and warm up. "Thank
you, but I don't mean to intrude," said the stranger. "I see you're busy,
I'll just go."
"Not without something hot in your belly." George said.
What Does It Take To Be A "Professional Santa"? Turns Out, A Lot
What Does It Take To Be A "Professional Santa"? Turns Out, A Lot
The highly competitive process to become a holiday pro
By Bronwyn Petry Dec. 15, 2023
Like Mariah Carey and awkward family dinners, shopping mall Santas are a staple of the holiday season. But what tends to be glossed over about these festive figureheads is that being a mall Santa is not just a fun hobby or a public service — it’s a job.
Becoming a working Santa over the holidays means jockeying into a competitive industry and knowing how to sell yourself. Have you ever wondered about what it takes to become a professional Santa? About what’s involved in the process, and how much it costs?
We looked into the steps required to transform into “the man in the red suit.” Here’s what we found out.
