I'm also glad to hear that your health is improved too... your family needs you in top shape so please try to lower the stress levels! As for the new homestead, heck yeah!! Lots and lots of real potential!!!! Hope your lovely wife and those beautiful young ladies are even more pumped about this incredible situation!! I'd say you have been more blessed, young man! Very, VERY happy for you all! (Hope the water situation is much better here!!!) Take care, young man, be safe and God bless you, even more!🇺🇸👍

Hello! Be careful up there...some of these folks linked to Egypt tend to come back even if the properties sell, because a lot of them were squatting and they were not healthy (flying saucers and what not, and many of them were ILL! NO untreated, raw water, and get blood tested). They were seeing some strange stuff up in your neck of the woods BEFORE the fires last year. Berkey distillers are a lifesaver in that kind of situation. That LOOKS like MY missing red jacket on the wall. Someone broke into my apartment here in NJ and stole it. They MAY have been from India or Egypt. Beware, and stay safe! And thanks for using my beats! Pammi Jo
