My sincere THANKS to a new friend,  Gregary Lesniewski.


Sometimes I like to make a point of being stubborn [as sometimes being a 'GOOD thing' when you've read all the facts, and decide that 'THIS TIME' you are going against the popular way/ trend of the 'cool crowd' -- the 'cool' people who smoke, drink too much, don't invest in time-- proper resources,   etc.-- and then they love to make fun of YOU !    Ha!  Well here is a little 'pay back.'  

I wanted to drive South to visit my Mom and Brother Albert, and friends, but it seems like my wife, as usual, has gotten herself 'all trapped and planned in' so many so-called "appointments" and "good deeds"---so she just have the time to come with me.   I was going to try and prove to her that MY family has accepted her into our extended family circle.   Maybe that is why she 'accidently' completely left me out of her family get together at her ex-hubby's house in near by Wisconsin, as when her son, made a long   trip  to finally come back, from his new good paying job in Health Care, and U.P. here, Turkey hunting.   He and I get along great!!   I just WISH that I had a lot more close friends   U.P. here  besides him.....   dream on, dream on, sailor....  Ha!
     It's so funny with my 2 front teeth missing now...  duh.   It's not like I was younger, at age 21, missing a tooth, or something.   I am age 65 now and couldn't care less --- and people who I meet   daily could not care less either !!   It is my belief,  that I, in   this year and age-time- world, that life is worthless as we grow older, [as seen by the world of  stupid, godless, Bible- ignorant men and women, believe we older ones   are much less valuable.   Go figure:  abortion and euthanasia, just for starters....
      I was watching an old time video about Denmark, and the half-Socialist "EXPERIMENT" over there.   Where kids go into a school, run by trained nurses... for 'Day Care', and so do the older people !   It SEEMS like they all get  the right Social Contact, and needs met.    But we have not heard from the elderly, yet .   I am glad that this Social experiment took place, and what a beautiful race of people  !!  I wish t hat I could visit them, sometime, "to hear the real deal, and Truth of it all".   I heard that their food and beer is good.   The Danes used to be great military warriors in their Hey Day, as they used to raid the English Coasts and took over much of that little Island.   Just think:  The Island of England was first inhabited by the Angles, and Celts, then joined by the Saxons [from a Province of Germany], then parts of Scandinavia conquered the East side of the Island.   Invaded by Normandy, who were really a  transplanted people--the Vikings who had earlier invaded France [or Gaul], who bargained to have the Northern part of that country.  And after all, England has a rainy/ gloomy  sort of climate, and Scotland too.  But I think that makes for a hearty breed of man, and after all, many great people come from England, with some great Rock 'n Roll Bands !!  I still like the Beatles... lol.

My eyes are so bleary and hard to see from lately... Cataracts.. dang!   Another curse of old age!   And my stomach is 'bubbling' from that 'Antibiotics' that the VA gave me to use, before Dental work.   Friends,  I am sorry, for my prejudice against the so-called, Medical Community,  mostly because of their pompous attitude, and lies..... yes, LIES.  But do you even    know    what your chances are compared to entering a hospital vs:  entering the "Field of Honor-- the Battlefield ??"  
        I went into a 'fine hospital"    for  a  knee replacement surgery, and wound up getting infected with one of the worst Flesh eating MERSA diseases in the world !!!  And then some  egotistical "doctor"  whom I FIRED, tried to tell me that I could have picked it up at my own home....  duh.   What a horrible,   short, little,  Romanian jack ass !!   And then I found out from a close friend, that he got messed up with the same procedure, with the same disease, at the SAME Hospital a few years before me, except that they screwed him over worse !  They injured his kidneys so bad, by a laxidasical nurse who didn't pay attention to the drugs that SHE gave him
      ---God laughs at them too.   God has many of the answers already, in His Book, about LIFE, why we are here, what we are about to do, who we ought to worship, and how, and all sorts of historic events.  
       One of the most sacred, and heart warming things to see, is when a person first accepts God's Will to be Saved ! ! !  I mean,  really makes that initial commitment !  That really makes all the combined effort "worth it!"   And everyone can have a share in it.   
    Well, folks, we are all waiting here, for the gentle warm  weather, but now tornados are happening too !!  Beware.  The Government ought to be preparing for foul weather too, don't you think so ???  But it can barely handle small destruction.   We have to be wondering...  what does the Gov't do with all their time in office -- besides attend parties with pretty, young girls, and boys...hummmm, and "rubber-stamping Congress t hat covers Obama's goofy, mistakes in office, that hurt, rather than heal our economy.     

Having Worked at Unilevers Premier Margarine Factory in the UK for 1 Year, as a Management Trainee, and then in Sri Lanka Managing Margarine Manufacture, I can safely admit that what you are about to read is true !! Pass The Butter ... Please. This is interesting . .. . Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow colouring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavourings.... DO YOU KNOW.. The difference between margarine and butter? Read on to the end...gets very interesting! Both have the same amount of calories. Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams; compared to 5 grams for margarine. Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study. Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods. Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few and only because they are added! Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavours of other foods. Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years. And now, for Margarine.. Very High in Trans fatty acids. Triples risk of coronary heart disease ... Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol) Increases the risk of cancers up to five times.. Lowers quality of breast milk Decreases immune response. Decreases insulin response. And here's the most disturbing fact... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING! Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC... and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance). Open a tub of margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will notice a couple of things: * no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something) * it does not rot or smell differently because it has nonutritional value ; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic . Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast? Share This With Your Friends.....(If you want to butter them up')! Chinese Proverb: When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others. Pass the BUTTER PLEASE
