Humblegunner is alive and doing very well!

I spoke to John (Humblegunner) the last two days to see where he was, was he okay, etcetera, and I was absolutely floored to hear how well he's doing!

He left FR to attend Divinity School with the intent to pursue a life of Christianity and live in the Love of Our Lord. He had no internet there, or cell phone access, and devoted his time to becoming closer to Jesus and to God. He mentioned he may even become an ordained Minister.

His parents sadly passed away, but left him a 200 acre cattle ranch and a stack of money, with which he has built a house on the land and purchased a new truck, both of which he is grateful and proud to have.

I got the sense he'd return to FR, but don't expect him to change THAT much. 😂 He'll still be the grouchy old Humblegunner we all know and love. He'd just be doing it with the blessing and love of Jesus, these days. 😊

We discussed organizing a Free Republic shoot, heck, he's got the property for it! I'm wondering about March or April '24.

He sent me some pictures and they are posted, below.

Well, this has devolved nicely. I think I’ll be angry at this candle.

[PJ-Comix]

FR is well known for forgiveness after all.

And flat out ethnic prejudice? Perhaps you should do a little checking to find out what he said about my wife. If you did, you would quickly drop the absurd "forgiveness" shtick. There is a time and place where that might be appropriate but NOT here.

[PJ-Comix]

I think I’ll be angry at this candle.

BTW, I am now above reproach for anything I do because I went to the Tinker Bell School of Divinity which automatically raises me to a higher moral plain.

[MomwithHope]

Point taken PJ.

[Fuzz]

It was sarcasm. I should have been more clear.

Humblegunner who? Bad me. Nice to hear aboit him.

Count yourself lucky that you haven't heard "aboit" him.

I certainly have no dog in this fight, but if you want to quote Jesus, you should probably use the one on how He told us to treat each other, not the one when He told someone how to treat Him.

Matthew 18:
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

[PJ-Comix]

Again, HG has hardly been sentenced to the gallows. He just can't post here. I mean if you are teaching a class and one of the kids is idiotically yelling and ruining it for the other kids, sending him to detention is hardly a matter to get all biblical about. Otherwise there would be NO PUNISHMENT which in this case is more than deserved.

BTW, what is the punishment for LYING about having gone to Divinity School in order to get cheap sympathy?

[samiam5]

I didn’t bring the Bible into this.
God will determine punishment for the sin of HG, PJ and sam.

If you read the rest of Matthew 18, you can see how God reacts to people’s unwillingness to forgive.

Forgiving your brother isn’t about him as much as it is healing for you.

[PJ-Comix]

If you read the rest of Matthew 18, you can see how God reacts to people’s unwillingness to forgive.

Please! Please forgive me for LYING about having gone to Divinity School! Please forgive me for calling other guy's wives "wh*res!"

[samiam5]

Please! Please forgive me for LYING about having gone to Divinity School! Please forgive me for calling other guy’s wives “wh*res!”

I don’t think you did any of those things.
I will, however, forgive you for parading your victimhood around on an anonymous internet board.

[PJ-Comix]

I don’t think you did any of those things.

Um... I don't think you know about the backstory here. Those who do know exactly what I am talking about.

[samiam5]

I am well aware who HG is.
I am well aware of who you are.
I know what happened and have been following it since HG was kicked.

I’m sorry he said mean things to you.
I’ve seen plenty of mean things you have said.
The discourse on this site had markedly deteriorated since I first came here a couple of days ago.

That’s life. Get over it or get under it.

Thank you for all of the hilarity!

For your kind words I am giving you an early Christmas present. Good ham at an incredibly low price. It is a deal that even the big couponing websites seemed to have missed. Market Pantry Spiral Cut bone-in Ham which normally sells for $1.99/lb for just about 70 cents per pound. I did this deal a little while ago today and below you can see the just over 40 lbs of ham I picked up for a total of just $29.03.

If you don't already have the Target app, just download it. Then check the Target circle offer of $10 off $40 of food and drink. If you have the Target Red Card, even better because you get an additional 5% off.

When you go into Target you will see signs all over the food section saying $10 off $50. That's the offer they want you to use but your $10 off $40 is obviously an even better deal.

All you do is show the bar code on the app wallet and the computer does the rest at checkout. Namely take $10 off as well as %5 of the total if you have the Red Card.

You can see all that with a close look at my receipt on the bottom pic.

Most people (including me) find this Market Pantry ham to be too salty but NO PROBLEM. Just soak it in water in a large pot overnight. Every few hours drain out the salt water and refill. By 24 hours later, you should have great tasting ham with just about the right amount of salt.

Oh, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[Silentgypsy]

Thank you, and please have a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, joyful 2024!

[PJ-Comix]

Thank you. Well, as to 2024... Definitely will be a CHALLENGING year for everybody. But I will still be looking for great coupon deals.

p.s. The above spiral ham deal at Target is good at least until Tomorrow but it may go for another week.

Okay, the spiral cut ham has been soaking in water overnight and I took off a few slices this morning to fry up with my breakfast today to check the saltiness level. With Market Pantry spiral cut ham, it is waaaaaay too salty if you don’t soak in water first.
