Happy Thanksgiving to All Americans

Thank God for All Our Blessings

Remember All Those Who Have Sacrificed to Make and Keep America Great

Pray for Those Who Are Not as Fortunate in This Terrible Time Our Country Now Endures

Pray For All Who Suffer All Over the World

Pray That Our Country Turn Back to God

Let The Majority Of Our Country Believe Who Believe in God Speak Up and Stop Worrying over Political Correctness

 

I am thankful that my husband also endures through several bouts of cancer and is my greatest support

I am thankful for my family

I am thankful for all my friends who put up with me

I am thankful for the freedoms we enjoy in our country, especially religious freedom

I am thankful for my beloved Cavaliers and the wonderful homes they have gone to over the years and for the fortune of all the good luck Rattlebridge has had in the show ring

I am thankful for our beautiful home

But most of all I am grateful for the blessings of God and the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ so that we may be saved

I am grateful for that Salvation and I accept Jesus Christ as my personal Savior

postheadericon The Mule: American Politics

 

Our politics are so screwed up; we seem to have lost what we once stood for in our country.  Just read the following for a chuckle and maybe a story just too close to the truth:

 

Curtis &Leroy saw an ad in the Starkville Daily News Newspaper in Starkville, MS. and bought a mule for $100.  The farmer agreed to deliver the mule the next day.

The next morning the farmer drove up and said, “Sorry, fellows, I have some bad news, the mule died last night.”

Curtis & Leroy replied, “Well, then just give us our money back.”

The farmer said, “Can’t do that. I went and spent it already.”

They said, “OK then, just bring us the dead mule.”

The farmer asked, “What in the world ya’ll gonna do with a dead mule?”

Curtis said, “We gonna raffle him off.”

The farmer said, “You can’t raffle off a dead mule!”

Leroy said, “We shore can!  Heck, we don’t hafta tell nobody he’s dead!”

A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into Curtis &Leroy at the Piggly Wiggly  grocery store and asked.
“What’d you fellers ever do with that dead mule?”
They said,”We raffled him off like we said we wuz gonna do.”

Leroy said,”Shucks, we sold 500 tickets fer two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898.”

The farmer said,”My Lord, didn’t anyone complain?”

Curtis said, “Well, the feller who won got upset. So we gave him his two dollars back.”

Curtis and Leroy now work for the government.

They’re overseeing the Bailout Program.

Limit all US politicians to two terms.
One in office
One in prison
Illinois already does this!

postheadericon Ode of Remembrance for the Fallen

 

For the Fallen . . .
They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

By Laurence Binyon -1914

 I CERTAINLY HOPE THIS DOES NOT OFFEND ANYONE: IT MAY NOT BE POLITICALLY CORRECT, BUT I THINK IT’S FUNNY

Wait until Al sees our new door knocker! 

Where can I order one of these!

House Minority Leader  Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, pictured standing, far  right, speaks while colleagues Rep. Barbara Lambert,  D-Milford and Rep. Jack F. Hennessy, D-Bridgeport, play solitaire Monday night as the House convened to vote on a  new budget. (AP)

The guy sitting in the row in front of these two…  he’s on Facebook, and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores.

These are the folks that couldn’t get the budget out by Oct. 1,  Seriously, we’ve got a 30 day budget extension.  Well, guess what, 30 days from now we will be in the same boat.  I guess this makes it easy for the news ‘reporters’ as all they have to do is recycle the same headlines from this week and from 2 years ago.  And these yo-yo’s will still be playing SOLITAIRE!!!

 

postheadericon Northwest Pilots Distracted!!!

 

From my friend Mona:

It is hard to understand how and why the Northwest Airlines pilots got so distracted on their recent attempt to fly directly to Minneapolis/St Paul, especially after a long and restful layover in San Diego

 
The Airbus cockpit is a very sophisticated complicated piece of technology. There is more than enough going on to keep pilots quite busy throughout their flight. As the attached photo shows, is difficult to understand the reason for their inattention!

postheadericon OHIO VOTE YES ON ISSUE 2

 

PLEASE VOTE FOR ISSUE 2 AND KEEP OUR LIVESTOCK FARMING IN THE HANDS OF OUR OHIO FARMERS! 

Hopefully, those of you in Ohio will read this in time to vote tomorrow for ISSUE 2. ISSUE 2 puts our Ohio farmers in control of livestock farming in our state rather than have the animal rightists like the Humane Society of the United States (a national organization promoting itself from donations and not doing anything for the welfare of animals) and Peta (determined to end the “enslavement” of companion animals and livestock)  interfere with farming in our state.  When Proposition 2 passed in California, non farmers and animal rightists came in with  regulations that crippled the farming of livestock causing many farmers to leave the state rather than try to change farming methods that would ruin them financially.  Livestock should be raised and slaughtered humanely. Farmers should be in charge of regulating humane standards in which livestock are raised. 

PLEASE VOTE FOR ISSUE 2 AND KEEP OUR LIVESTOCK FARMING IN THE HANDS OF OUR OHIO FARMERS!
