ON MY SOAPBOX…Hell..Hell..Hell..

I have discovered that as I age in years, I wonder about different subjects? Have you discovered that same phenomenon?

For example, after living 73 years, all of a sudden…I wonder why the phrase…Hell in a Hand Basket was created ? My queries are always fun, whether I believe them or not. I can remember from my childhood that people would say, “He/She is going to Hell in a Hand Basket.”

Now, I ask myself? How does a person fit into a Hand Basket? Why would they crawl into a Hand Basket? Why would they choose HELL as their destination?

I conversed with The GOOGLE God and He/She/It said that the phrase was originally: Going to Heaven in a Hand Basket. This implied that the person lived such a good Christian life that they would be delivered to Heaven with tender loving care.

At this point, I should have quit reading, I did not.

Then, after some war, someone wrote on a cave wall or found a typewriter and changed the phrase from Heaven in a Hand Basket to Hell in a Hand Basket.

So here we are. I have Hell quotes from “Hell and Back” for you.

Hell is empty and all the devils are here. -Shakespeare-

Go to Heaven for the climate and Hell for the company. -Mark Twain-

If you’re going through Hell, keep going. -Winston Churchill-

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. -William Congreve-

I don’t like to commit myself about Heaven and Hell. You see, I have friends in both places. -Mark Twain-

What if you are in Hell and you are mad at someone? Where do you tell them to go? -Anonymous-

You may all go to Hell and I will go to Texas. -Davy Crockett-

After all those HELLISH quotes, what can I possibly say that would end on a positive note?

America is going to Hell in an EV and Joe Biden is driving.
THE GOOD NEWS IS, HIS DRIVERS LICENSE EXPIRE IN

These first two FACTS are dedicated to all the Antisemitic Hamas-Loving Idiots in America. All the RIVER TO THE SEA crowd should move over to Gaza and become a REAL, PERSONAL, PERMANENT contribution to the HAMAS CAUSE? Take
Biden, Schumer, Soros & Gang
with you.

A stray kitten wandered onto the Tolley acre one evening. Because of her calico colors, I named her Patches. As she grew into a big cat, it was obvious that she was no regular feline. She took over my office, changed her name to Lois Lion and began taking as much space as she liked on my website. It wasn't long before Patches had an audience of her own. Today she has the biggest office at Tolley's Topics, Inc., her own assistant, named Amigo, her own editor and her very own article called THE SPHINX. The many emails that I receive in reference to Lois Lion are quick to point out that they love her because, "she makes complicated issues simple, she has a wonderful sense of humor, she adds links with pictures and explanations (which are mostly funny) and most of all she ends each post with a song. The people in cyberland seem to think she is THE CATS MEOW and quite PURRfect. Meanwhile, I am just the Change The Litter Lady............ Bye, Now. Sheila Tolley
