Wonderful...wonderful post.
ReplyDeleteAll over the world people are remembering and giving honor to the fallen servicemen around the world.
We all have lost or know someone who has lost a love one to this fruitless war. The one man war at Fort Hood,Texas was just so senseless, we are still trying to come to grips with it.
I have a post about Oprah,but wanted to let people enjoy this one today.
ReplyDeleteIt's close to a lot of hearts. Great job.
Thankyou. That is very high praise.
ReplyDeleteThe service at Fort Hood seems to have moved you a great deal.
There are forces on earth,sometimes good,sometimes evil, that we don't have the power to stop or even control.The murder of innocent people gives you that impotent,senseless feeling.
I was quite proud of my Berlin Wall feature.I think that single event marked the end of the Cold War which had been going on since WW II. And brought Communism to it's knees.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the KGB gradually took control again and brought another toxic regime to Russia.
I would like to see the tatooed dangle fully erect and see that dragon expand and show it's fangs.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to be intimate with it though.He had an interesting tatoo around his anus.
you got that right, that thing might come alive.
ReplyDeleteYou got a lot of praise about the Berlin Wall.
ReplyDeleteThe shooting at FH moved me quite a bit, I have a lot of family there,thankful, none was hurt. I also know some there , we have visit there often.
I hope the soldiers at Fort Hood get some councilling.That is one kind of killing they are not trained to handle.
ReplyDeleteThe new header is a work in progress.I'm a little overwhelmed with work at the moment but I am definitely working on it.I love designing stuff like that.We need a recipe for the blog.Do you have a good one.I loved your gumbo,lots of spice and flavor and very healthy too.
ReplyDeleteThe great thing about the gumbo was that even though I have serious food allergies,I was able to change out certain ingredients and make substutions.It still tasted great.
ReplyDeleteI like some of the ones you gave me.. your choice..I'm no good at designing stuff. Surprise me, I'm easy.....hahaha
ReplyDeleteWe both have a lot going on this weekend, how bout the first of the week, we can take our time.
Do you still want it to be name "BASH"?
ReplyDeleteYou can go with gumbo if you want to, fine with me.
ReplyDeleteI will have someone to help me dig up shit...Nan will be home this weekend and she won't go to work until after the first of the year.
ReplyDeleteThere is no rush on the new blog.Like I said, I have projects up the yin yang.
ReplyDeleteAnyway,how are you? Is the dry weather still holding?I sometimes look at your weather on our weather gadget and it always seems wet or about to get wet.Our weather is mild and sunny.Sometimes in November we have two feet of snow already.We have had a green Christmas before but not usually the warm temperatures.
Jaye already has all her Christmas stuff out.She has more Christmas gizmos than anyone I ever met.I went there today and the flashing lights and sparkly stuff nearly blinded me.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what drove that man to torture his penis like that.What started it?He's probably addicted to it now and will continue down his legs.
ReplyDeleteIt will be nice to have Nan back.I bet you have missed her.
ReplyDeleteHow is the swine flu in your area? they are expecting a second and even a third wave. And it wil be a little worse each time. There have been over 4000 deaths from H1N1 in the USA.More than any other country in the world.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me for a few minutes I have to go check something.
ReplyDeleteI bet Jaye has it really looking like Xmas..
ReplyDeleteYou are right, we do have the holidays coming.
The weather gadget is on the ball, this weather is the pits.
ReplyDeleteI have missed Nan, Everyone says we are joined at the hip..
I was going to put mine up on the first of Dec.
H1N1 is bad here,not as many deaths in my area, a lot of kids and grown-ups at the school where Jill/Sha go is sick. I taken them out.A retired teacher is coming as soon as she gets her checkup, that will be next week. A lot of people is not clean, they don't wash their hands or cover their mouths , just nasty .
I had to help my mother.Her hands are so arthritic she can't do certain things any more.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably a good idea to take the kids out.If the flu comes to the twins' school Jaye will do the same thing.
Nana's still in good spirits and do her own shopping, that's doing better than some 50/60 year old.
ReplyDeleteI know Jaye worries about them, the doctors say we can do all we can , but it only takes one rotten apple to spoil the barrel.
The fast food post, boy I once enjoyed taking the kids to Mickey D's and a lot of fast food joints,now I cook all the fast food.
ReplyDeleteThe fast food post scared the shit out of me too.I could eat frenchfries at every meal.
ReplyDeleteI can't because I am now allergic to potatoes,although not too seriously.I can have them once in a while.
But I've always loved fast food.
Al Gore is on Conan right now.He will probably talk about his Nobel Prize.
ReplyDeleteThe food gadget I plans my meals around it, I showed it to the ladies that work in Gil's office. they said they saw it but didn't know what it was, I showed them how to use it , a couple of the guys also.
ReplyDeleteHe wrote a book about climate change which I have only read excerpts from.I should read the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteOh Jeannie that is wonderful news, You have prayed for this so long and now it's whithin touch,good things are begining to happen.
ReplyDeleteAl is discussing global warming.
ReplyDeletePeople said Gore didn't know what he was talking about.....now I wonder what they are saying, the climate is cahnging faster then was expected.
ReplyDeleteThelma's husband know some people in Gore's pilot office in Little Rock, Ark.( he's one of the lawyers that work with Gil) We are trying real hard to get one here.
Jakey desrves a long healthy life.He is a wonderful little boy.He doesn't understand why he feels so ill and Sam is so healthy.
ReplyDeleteThe difference in their size is becoming quite apparent.
Al got the Nobel for trying to save the planet.He is largely responsible for the safe enegy bill which is now before the senate.They will build windmills in all your uninhabited areas.He will be hailed as a great man with foresight in a few years when everyone finally gets it.
ReplyDeleteJakey is gettig at the stage where he wants to know the whys and ifs.
ReplyDeleteThis new drug might not make him grow as large, but he will be healthy. Tell him he don't have to be as big as Sammy, he is going to be a great person in the Movie business.
I am trying to do for people what you did for me, I think Gil has Gore's book here or at his office.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know our planet was in such bad shape until I met you.
I told the people at the meeting ,we all needed to slow down and listen at what Mother Nature was trying to tell us.
I forgot to ask about your speech.I bet you wowed them.Did Gil help you?
ReplyDeleteThis may be why we were supposed to meet.You may end up giving speeches all over the country.
ReplyDeleteThere is a reason for everything.Never doubt it. The smallest thing happens for a reason.It sometimes does not reveal itself for a long time but eventually we figure it out.
ReplyDeleteJust think next spring is not to far away. You said you was going to keep researching until you find something to help him.
ReplyDeleteI am a great believer in the power of prayer...In my darkness hour I know my faith and prayer helped bring me through bad/hard times, and it will do the same for you and your "baby."
No I haven't given that speech yet, Gil is writing it for me, I'm gonna knock them dead.
ReplyDeleteWell if I have to give speeches all over the county, you may have to take me there in your boat, looks like thats the only way we will be getting around soon.
It will be the first Sunday in Dec.
ReplyDeleteEmily/Daniel(preacher) wants me to give it at the church also.
Did you see in the news where the steeple fell off the church on a car...well that's their church.
We found the article about the new drug on the internet and I was trying to get in touch with the doctors at the hospital where it was being tested.Brian and I had just decided to take J to Czechoslovakia when the docs at Sick KIds' said they had heard of it and were getting it tested in Canada.
ReplyDeleteI will look up the article about the steeple.I hope they build a stronger one next time.That could be dangerous to life and limb.
ReplyDeleteWe had better say goodbye for now.We can't have you grumpy in the morning if the kids are all at home.
ReplyDeleteAnd you must be rested and beautiful to make all those speeches all over the country.I'm proud of you for making this your personal crusade.I can't wait to hear how your speech went...
Anyway...Goodnight...Happy dreams...PIC
That's the second time it fell, maybe somene is telling them something. hahaa
ReplyDeleteI am glad you will be able to get the drug there. Hooray ...
I will see you tomorrow, have a goodnite .....PIC...
