    "Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before Me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD" (2 Kings 22:19). Many despise warning and perish. Happy is he who trembles at the Word of God. Josiah did so, and he was spared the sight of the evil which the LORD determined to send upon Judah because of her great sins. Have you this tenderness?...

    The Repentance of Pastors Is The Only Hope For America: Trusted Church Leader Responds To The Dis-Respect For Marriage Act" Trusted Church Leader Responds To The Dis-Respect For Marriage Act After receiving full Congressional approval on Thursday, the so-called Respect For Marriage Act, officially rejecting God’s definition of marriage, now awaits President Biden’s enthusiastic signature. Despite claims by Biden that the Respect For Marriage Act brings the United States “one step closer on our journey to build a more perfect union,” trusted ministry leaders and religious freedom advocates are warning of the legislation’s legal and Biblical ramifications. “This shows that...
  • Post-COVID-19 Fatigue Syndrome (PCFS)

    Good evening fellow Freepers. I wanted to make this post to see if anyone else out there, who got infected with Covid-19, has experienced Post-COVID-19 Fatigue Syndrome (PCFS). Basically, I've been experiencing fatigue, dizziness, vertigo, nausea, and like symptoms since Feb when I was hospitalized for Covid-19 and pneumonia. My doctor's office said it's just allergies but they are big time pharma endorsers and heed whatever the medical establishment tells them. Hence, I'm also looking for a new doctor (central Indiana if anyone knows of a good doctor!). I have been researching this online but we all know how search...

    Good afternoon fellow Freepers. I got a project that I'm working on but I don't know how to make it work. Basically, I have a PDF file with areas that need text or digital signature blocks added, but I'm looking to find out if there is a way to overlay a PDF with those items in key positions onto the primary PDF file, and have everything line up. As it is right now, I manually add those items one at a time and the time it takes to do 20-30 forms is killing me. There's got to be a way...

    It looks like Covid-mania is making a comeback at local military base. I won't say where, but the HPCON level just went up to Charlie as of 0001 hours Wednesday morning. Teleworking is being authorized again, and for those of us who aren't "vaccinated" we have to start weekly testing again. Oh, and everyone has to mask up no matter their vaccination status. All in an election year. Hmmmmm..........

    Good Friday Fellow Freepers. What follows is a copy of an email I just received today from the local civilian personnel office at the military installation I work at.

  • Wired/Wireless Router Suggestions

    Good evening fellow Freepers. It's time for me to ask another in the long line of IT related questions, this time about suggestions for a new router for my home network. Currently I have a Netgear WNR3500Lv2 router. It's a combo wired and wireless router. It is hooked up to a DLink Modem, Model DCM-301. However, last month lightning struck right behind my place and it killed one of the ethernet ports on the router. Thank God the entire thing wasn't fried. But now I need to replace it, and I'd like to find something of a similar build in...
  • Financial Management Software

    Good evening fellow Freepers. I wanted to ask for advise from you all. I have been using a simple Excel spreadsheet to list my expenses and monitor and track my bills for years, however, I was thinking of utilizing a PC based software program or a web based financial management website. I was wondering if I might acquire some recommendations for which way to go. I've used Excel just because it's easier for me just go on there and list my expenses and revenue, but I'm wondering if there might be an easier way to do things. Thanks for your...

    Good evening fellow Freepers. I wanted to find out if I could get your help with something. As some of you know, I work at a military installation in the central US. I am a government civilian employee, though not a high paid one. During the past couple of years many of us, especially DOD civilians, were allowed to telework from home. I did so as well, though the ability to do so was recently striped away, and hence this posting. I wanted to find out if anyone knows if there are federal regulations/directives that govern teleworking for the government...

  • Second Appeals Court Backs Federal Employee Vaccine Mandate

    FedSmith.com ^ | 4/19/2022 | Ian Smith
    A second appeals court has upheld the vaccine mandate for federal employees that was issued by President Biden last year. A panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously said that federal employees cannot sue over the vaccine mandate and must instead challenge the mandate through the usual appeal channels available to the federal workforce through the Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA). In other words, federal employees would have to face discipline for refusing to get the COVID vaccine before they could appeal the decision administratively. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals came to the same conclusion earlier...

    The Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 yesterday to overturn the January injunction issued by a federal judge in Texas that blocked Joe Biden’s shot mandate that required all federal employees to receive the COVID shot or face termination. Biden announced last September that more than 3.5 million federal workers were required to undergo vaccination, with no option to get regularly tested instead, unless they secured approved medical or religious exemptions. Feds for Medical Freedom, which represents more than 700 border patrol agents, pilots, diplomats, firefighters, contractors, and other Americans, filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration on...

    Good evening everyone. I haven't been here in a while because I was infected with Covid-19 last month. I had been ill since around Christmas time last year, but every test I took came back negative. I got progressively worse until, finally, on Jan 31st/Feb 1st I tested positive for Covid-19. I tried to ride it out the rest of that week but couldn't and I checked myself into the local hospital on Saturday the 6th of Feb. They admitted me and I spent the next six days being treated. I got the 5 day Remdesivir treatment and was also...

Kristi Noem called on President Joe Biden to rescind all federal COVID-19 mandates after he said on Monday that, “There is no federal solution,” to the pandemic. “After a year, we finally agree @potus. The federal government isn’t the solution. That’s why from the start, SD took a different approach by trusting our citizens to be responsible and make the right decisions for themselves & their families. Now rescind all the federal mandates,” Noem tweeted on Tuesday. The post followed Biden’s comment on Monday during a virtual meeting with the nation’s governors. Joe Biden, who ran...
