Kinda Reminds Me Of Something From The Recent Past... Rewind To Late 2015 And Again To Pre-election 2016:

Sarah might want to drift offscreen a bit...

But then again, Sarah assistents doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks of her, so she will continue her barrel-roll through life... thank you very much...

You go Sarah! Steins out and up!

I think it's absurdly funny that the Associated Press runs politically motivated stories like the one pictured above but then has the absolute bald-faced temerity to censor anyone (like me) who disagrees with the article, citing "Community Guidelines" as the basis of their silencing opposing views and opinion. That's my comment below, and it never even made it off the launch pad.

The Associated Press is one of those Leftist propaganda outlets whose alleged support of the 1st Amendment is as laughable as the Washington Post's tag line, "Democracy Dies in Darkness". That gem began appearing below the newspapers banner in February, 2017, after President Trump took office. For most reading it, I think it was supposed to be some kind of virtue signaling by that rag paper, with the subtle nudge to the reader being that the Post would be a shining light against tyranny and despots. I, however, see that line not as a beacon of hope in an ever darkening world, but more as a prophecy made by one of the engineers of Democracy's demise. They're straight up telling people what they've been doing and what their aim is in the 21st century. And the same goes for the New York Times and its "All the News That's Fit to Print," meaning it will only ever publish "news" that generally supports agenda and rarely sorts truth and integrity. The Times tag line should be changed to "All the News That's Shit to Print"; that would be a good start if they ever want to start reporting actual honest, straightforward news and information.

I wish that all humans could feel the love and loyalty of a dog, the noblest and purest of God's creatures. Once you experience these gifts, you are forever changed. Peace and comfort be to you whose life has known the friendship and heart of a dog, in all ways and for always...

In honor of my dog who passed away. we experienced a lot of the same things together, so I wrote this to be read in either her, or my perspective.

The implication here is that I've become lost, somehow. But truth be told, really, you just lost sight of me. I'm still here, waiting, wandering, wistful, until you realize I'm not at your side. [I wonder if that is what Jesus thinks as He waits upon his throne...]

Maybe.

Regardless of the white noise pollution that coughs up from the frothing crowd, this collaborative work was brilliant, imaginative, funny, intelligent and some of the best music I've encountered today. Superior stuff. This is what the Internet is for me. Keep the bullshit politics, posturing, and the stench of the roiling cesspool generated by people who like to swim stick waters, and just give me art, literature and beautiful, provocative music.

Unoriginal. Dave Chapelle has said this multiple times. And his spin was funnier.

A gay orgy is probably the manliest thing in existence

Zing! I'm chuckling after reading this one...

I do feel this so vehemently, but I also want to point out that the greater part of defeating that dread disease is faith, fellowship, and mindset. Manifestation isn't just for financial gain. It can also get you some time back to enjoy the ones you love THAT much longer.

Peace and prosperity, to all.

Amen!

Reblog if you wish cancer didn't exist.

Only a sick bastard wouldn’t reblog this.

This is the best use of an otherwise dull day. I found myself emotionally invested in their defeats and their final triumph. And what I loved most is that although they were in competition with one another to be the first to make a strike against their blue Solo cup adversary, they celebrated the win together, and, equally, bemoaned the misses and near-misses of one another. On a more metaphysical level (sorry to go deep here, but it is with purpose that I do so...), the encouragement that each man had for the other blossomed out of competitiveness to transmute into solidarity against uncontrollable forces, and that encouragement, in my estimation, sent new gamma waves of creativity, inventiveness, and positivity (that the NEXT attempt made by either man would be THE ONE) with such magnitude and force that it not only achieved the goal but reached out beyond the confines of the video to me, a singular audience member, to instill a highly vibratory, immensely happy and positive energy response when the cups fell.

This is what we all should be doing for one another, rather than the bitter Betty bullshit and the gnashing of teeth at one another just because our perspectives don't always align, the trend that seems, sadly, to be the norm these days.

Thank you, gentlemen, for the lesson, the laughter, and the energy. Much appreciated!

While the OP had some strong sentiment about the renovations of this church (which I respect, even though I'm of a different mind and perspective), I think this shows creative intent and energy. The success of this project is purely subjective, but I feel like the goal point of the re-imagined church project is the altar-turned-kitchen. As I think of it, kitchens are generally the soul of a home, the place within a dwelling where the family that resides within gathers to prepare meals or grab snacks, but lingers therein to commune and share the day and its encounters and adventures. This is what family and togetherness means to me, personally, and those things are gifts from God. So what better place to house this than the altar-turned-kitchen.

I posted this church before, when it was first listed in its original state. It’s a 19th century church, built in 1871 and situated in Middleton One Row, County Durham, England. Usually someone will buy a church, clear it out, and furnish it as-is, or they’ll remodel it. This one was bought by a developer who completely redid it and is selling it for “offers in excess of £1,000,000.”

So, first off, how about a working antique pipe organ in the kitchen? Apparently, there’s a secret “organ room” behind it, which is a great hide & seek place (It’s probably creepy, though. Have you ever seen the workings of a big ol’ pipe organ?)

Check out the backsplash. 

Clearly, this was formerly the altar. 

This is where the pews were, and it’s called an “open plan” living room, but to me, it looks like a basement, and I hate the indoor/outdoor carpet. He also added floors to the structure, so this is no longer open and the original high cathedral ceiling is gone. 

Stairs were added to access the upper bedrooms (there are 6) and this is not an attractive area. The owner gutted the property and has renovated everything.

The developer made 3 levels out of one huge church, so as you can see here on the 2nd fl., the windows are cut in half by the floor. 

The en suite bath. 

These are the stairs leading to the 3rd level, and you can see the original high ceiling beams up here. I would think that there was a choir loft up here, somewhere.

The tip of the original altar-now-kitchen is visible from here, on the 3rd level. 

There are smaller bedrooms made to fit the contour of the original ceiling.

The view from the small peep hole opening over the kitchen.

While he saved a lot of the original features and relocated them mostly to the kitchen, I don’t like the levels wiping out the windows and I really don’t like the “open plan” living room. I guess I just like when people live in a church as it is, making only minimal adjustments.
