Reblog this and money will be entering your life this week

I have held many things that were beautiful, priceless even, but none had ever compared to the woman who gifted me with two beautiful, vibrant, and amazing souls. I could search the universe over twice, and would always come back to her, my Carey, the love of my life, the mother of that which I hold dearest in this world.

Truth, in its barest, simplest form. Please, for the sake of humanity, resist and rise above. Maintain autonomy, even if it becomes uncomfortable to do so. You'll thank me, and yourself, in decades to come, if you do. Peace, love and collard greens, y'all!

The system works well, as long as it's working. Media is not about entertainment. It is about making money for corporate America. If you stop the flow of money, you stop the flow of power.

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.

I like to start the day with humor...

What in the actual FUCK kinda post is this?

<Has it been relisted?....>

Don’t lowball the agent. The previous couple tried, and it ended badly.

I bet folks in Dresden wished that they could have had that back in World War II... maybe they'd have seen "it" coming...

Those people had just a really crappy Valentine's Day in 1945...

Biden-Harris spent $42.5 billion for rural internet service. 3 years later, NOT ONE PERSON is connected.

DOGE should look into this.

I find this to be quite the bizarre photo, not for the nude girl jumping up to smack the, ahem, meat, but for what lies on the aisles of this particular grocery store. I mean, honestly? Cat litter on the same aisle as cake mix? That could go disastrously wrong...
