During the recent storm here, our cat crawled up in my lap and stretched out. Took on a praying stance. Had to share. 73. Oh yea the storm blew over. 03/30/25  #hope #theuglyquackingduck #southernillinois #episode #cat #prayer #thankful

Well as most of you know they (the Government) had TikTok shut down on 1/18/2025 Saturday evening about 9:15pm central time. A little over 12hrs later it was up and running again on Sunday 1/19/2025. It seems a bit different now and there are many discussions concerning how or what sacrifices TikTok had to make to get the servers back going. To quote an old phrase “the jury is still out on this one”. I will tell you that because of the fact Meta had a part in all this and most of our Congress invested in Meta, I am deactivating my Facebook and my Instagram accounts. I wonder how a company owned by international investors, run by a CEO from Singapore, had it’s servers here in the states was consider and described as Chinese. Very strange. I will say I enjoyed the app. I didn’t create much on there, however I enjoyed much of the peoples’ videos, their opinions even though I didn’t always agree. It worked very differently than all of the other social media apps. I hope they haven’t destroyed it with all this theater. Until next time, 73 and may the Father’s blessings go with you.
