The Last Faberge'
The year was 1885 when Carl Faberge` was commissioned by the Czar of Russia to commemorate Easter with a gift to his wife. In true Faberge` fashion the first of 57 Faberge` Eggs as they were called was made. From 1885 until 1915 each year the Czar was given one of these most precious of gifts. Unfortunately the house of Faberge` never recovered from the Bolshevik Revolution and never again was an original Faberge` Egg made. The mysterious disappearance of 8 of these exquisite works of art remains a mystery even today. Each egg was so magnificently crafted with pure gold and the most precious of all the fine cut stones from diamonds, rubies, and emeralds all inlaid within made every Faberge` egg the most valuable piece of art that even today are valued at well over 100 million dollars each. Just think of what the combined value of those missing 8 Faberge` Eggs are worth today.

A Line in the Sand
When you are young, it is possible to believe that adults are there for you; that they are aware of what is best for you; that they are doing the right thing. I thought so for a very long time, all through the great disappointment that was my father, his replacement who could not stand even in his shadow as an example worth following, and many other figures in my life who were always lacking in some way. My moment of discovery came in the most innocent manner and I still recall what it was all about.

Addressing Politics
Introduction There are really so many places to start with COVID-19 and its really kind of ridiculous that in the 21st century of medicine and access to unlimited information, a good portion of American society still chooses conspiracy theory. This makes things complicated when discussing the vaccine, especially with family and friends who opt to listen to far-right media sources or rely on Facebook for information. When so many people passionately argue against the vaccine and confidently use statistics you have never heard, how do you know you have the right information?

Fees. Taxes. Exemptions.
Working on this blog was hard. It took me awhile to come up with a plan for this blog post but I feel like I attacked it the best way I could. There are way more differences between Alabama and California when it comes to taxes, fees, and other crazy things we have to pay for but here are 3 different things I found that were worth mentioning. I'll mention car registration fees, tax withholdings from work checks, and tax exempt items.

Hot August Night
Hot August Night By Jamey O’Donnell July rudely came and went like an uninvited stranger homesteading on your land, never announcing himself or saying hello, and leaving unexpectedly just as you were getting use to him being around, deciding you and your life were not worth a good goddamn.

Humankind Under Myths
Around seventy years ago, homo sapiens discovered fire and started eating cooked meal. This discovery, experts say, changed the very nature of homo sapiens. Before, they were hunter-gatherers and had long teeth and large intestines. However, the discovery of fire brought in them biological and psychological changes, hence they started living in groups and thus the first ever humankind community emerged. This change is dubbed as the cognitive revolution, following which process homo sapiens left the warmest areas of South Africa and set off towards the northern cold areas of the world. At the time, various humankind species existed, such as Neanderthals, Homo Ergaster, and Rudolfensis. But, given that homo sapiens had the upper hand on account of their rational abilities, they killed other species including big animals, such as mammoths, and erased them from the crust of the earth.

When Did We First Notice UFOs And Why I'm Not Expecting A Bombshell From The Report On UAPs To Congress
The video below is perhaps one of the more sensational ones taken by an eyewitness in recent months. It's one of the thousands that are out there and one of the hundreds that have already been shared with the public over social media. This reminded me of something I hadn't had time to consider lately, the forthcoming, expected to be, bombshell report that congress will receive later this month.

Right or Wrong
Chapter 3 Family Traditions Almost every single member of the grand old par-ty and candidate who was in power or running in West Virginia, Pennsylvania or Ohio got their power one way or another through the work and effort of the Jenkins. Glenn and Everett’s leg work, the spreading of lies and misinformation, voter in-timidation. The right push here a little nudge. They twisted rules and stretched the truth, forget the facts, whatever it takes.
