It took two or three readings before the editor realized that what he was reading was impossible!!! They put in a correction the next day.

Did I read that right?

The other day I needed to go to the emergency room. Not wanting to sit there for 4 hours, I put on my old Army fatigues and stuck a patch onto the front of my shirt that I had downloaded off the Internet.
When I went into the E.R., I noticed that 3/4 of the people got up and left. I guess they decided that they weren’t that sick after all. Cut at least 3 hours off my waiting time.
Here’s the patch. Feel free to use it the next time you’re in need of quicker emergency service.

At the Laundromat, three minutes after entering, I had my choice of any machine, most still running. Don’t try it at McDonald’s though…..The whole crew got up and left and I never got my order…

I mean it. Mostly.

We weathered the two "storms" that came through last week or so. Got a bit of wind and a little bit of rain but nothing we couldn’t handle. The power flickered only a couple of times. Cool.

Finally got the next-to-last (maybe) bookcase built enough to use and it is in the library now. SWMBO is already putting the last of the books on it. Now I need to get to Home Depot and buy some trim to finish all of them. We’ve pretty much decided to put a big tv in the library (where all the comfortable seating is) so I may have to build a combination stand/bookcase/electronics shelves thingie; but that is in the future. Now I can take the time and do a complete field day on my "shop."

SWMBO and I have been putting a garden in for her. She’s built about half of the raised bed out of all those cement blocks she bought and I’ve been moving some of that good dirt from down-hill up to it. Filled a dozen plant pots with the good dirt also. I planted some of the Tomato’s but she’s done most of the planting. She planted spaghetti squash and maters and brussel sprouts. Now we see if they’ll grow.

And that’s about it. Did dig up another stump for my neighbor but my digger is too small to rip it out of the ground so we’re waiting on another neighbor with a bigger tractor to help get it out.

Still no new washer so I’m having to take laundry down to the laundry mat. Sucks! $2 a load!

Trying not to but am getting more and more upset about the way our country is headed with Obama (Hell, The Democrats!) in charge. I am not a happy camper! But I don’t like the government ramming things down my throat; especially if it’s going to cost me more money. But don’t get me started!

More later. Tearing down the old, temporary, bookcase…

In1952

President Truman

established one day a year as a
"NationalDayof Prayer."

In 1988
President Reagan

designated the
First Thursday in May of each year as

the NationalDayof Prayer.

In June2007
Presidential
Candidate Barack Obama

declared that the USA was no longer a
Christian nation.

This year
President Obama,

canceled the
21st annual National Day

of Prayer ceremony

at the White
House under the ruseof
of "not wanting to offend anyone"

On September 25, 2009

from 4 am until 7 pm, < ?xml:namespace prefix = o />

a National Day of Prayer

for the Muslim religion was Held on Capitol Hill,
Beside the White House.

There were over 50,000 Muslims that
day in DC.

I guess it doesn’t matter

if"Christians" are offended by this event – We obviously don’t count as "anyone" anymore.
