On the eve of this upcoming Memorial Day Holiday weekend, TallPockets asks EACH to remember: Soldiers wore the uniform for US. So that we may live in as PEACEFUL a world as is POSSIBLE”. Every soldier who has done so should be ‘saluted’. However, and THIS bears REMEMBERING dear folks, they will ALSO TELL you that WAR is the LAST resort -- ALWAYS.
What was offered to a soldier after serving time in Iraq did not come close to equating the finances received while fighting a war that led no where. His need to survive and have a quality of life led him to believe like my son who also served time in Iraq that in order to have a valued life in America he would have to reenlist to have hope of a bright future.

Well, it looks as though that future is here, consider the following According to Robert Hirsch, Management Information Services Senior Energy Adviser (Mr Hirsch is the dean of energy market forecasting), gave a dire warning about the potential future of gas prices... Twelve dollar/gal of gas is inevitable in the not so distant future. Hold on to ur hats folks cuz even at that price, rationing is in the cards as well! I suggest, staying alert and informed...conserve, simplify and have faith! Park it when u can and conserve it when ya can't park it! LaLePoP' by lalepop'

"[George H.W.] Bush has more connections to British and European royalty than any President of the United States. For example, Mr. Bush is a 13th cousin of Queen Elizabeth II and is related to all members of the British royal family, according to Burke's [Peerage]genealogists. Moreover, he is related to all those who have married into the British royal family, like the Queen Mother, the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of York. Mr. Bush is also related to all current European monarchs on or off the throne, including the King of Albania.... Of the 40 American Presidents, 13 have had a direct connection to European royalty. Mr. Bush is a direct descendant of King Henry VII, of one of Charles II's mistresses and of Henry VIII's younger sister, Mary, who married King Louis XII of France. According to Burke's, which has traced the genealogy of American Presidential families for years, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams were all related to Edward I. In the 20th century, Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt were descended from Dutch nobility. Jimmy Carter has kinship ties to noble Scottish and English families, while President Reagan is a direct descendant of the 11th-century High King of Ireland, Brian Boru." - From a July 5, 1988 New York Times article.

In her shameless attempt to grandstand on television Democrat Maxine Waters let the true agenda of the Democrats slip out - she wants to socialize the oil companies.

As a lifelong registered Democrat I've tried to 'be for' Obama. I've listened to his message and .... I've come away 'scared to death' of this man. He is a "danger" to the U.S.A. and must be stopped.

America wants to end the war and we all know that. I would prefer to hear about how each candidate feels about terms limits, welfare reform, church reform (too much money going to churches that is unregulated), R&D for alternatives to oil, and an explanation for America's foreign policy in the Middle East. I would also be interested in hearing how all of these topics might be tied to greater prosperity for all Americans. Leave the fear mongering, race baiting, sexism, and ageism alone. Talk about some real issues.

Native to Europe, naturalized in North America by early settlers, chicory has uses in herbal medicine; it has been used in the treatment of gallstones, bowel upsets, and as a balm for cuts and bruises. During the Civil War, when coffee was not to be had thanks to the success of the Union blockade of southern ports, the roots of chicory were ground up and boiled and drunk. I'm not a coffee drinker myself, and have never drunk chicory coffee either, but I'm told it has a bitter taste--not so far from black coffee. Fairweather Lewis by Fairweather Lewis
Miles ago when I was young, And days were filled with running, breezes, sun... I watched my grandma garden, Saw her hands work deftly in and out through soil and sands, And marveled that she willingly so toiled. I could not bear to get my hands that soiled. But she just looked at me and, smiling,
said, "You best not keep that notion in your head. This is CLEAN dirt ... remember what I say Don't soil your hands with what won't wash away." Strange Phrase Indeed by Kristin

The most beautiful and profound experience is the sensation of the mystical. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.
In my humble opinion, this wisdom from one of the greatest human minds that ever existed provides reason to keep faith that ‘dreamers’ will always be as essential as ‘doers’ to our society and our future.

Sitting at my kitchen counter this afternoon, trying to work, but really thinking about other things, I occasionally glanced outside to the deck where there are several birdfeeders and a birdbath.

He and my Mother would laugh at the pure futility they suffered while the depression was happening. Of course, they'd both end up crying, but it was always fun when he was around. He wasn't around nearly enough. Since my father died in the war, Roy thought he had to guide us through life. Man, what a guide! He was a disaster waiting to happen. How come the Irish are like that?

Which leaves 12.2 million to do the work. Take from that total the 10.8 million people who work for state and city Governments. And that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.

A little girl asked her mother, "How did the human race appear?" The mother answered, "God made Adam and Eve and they had children and so was all mankind made." Two days later the girl asked her father the same question. The father answered, "Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved." The confused girl returned to her mother and said, "Mom, how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Papa said they developed from monkeys?"

In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber. 'I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed the worried faces. "The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant ... $5,000 for a male brain, and $200 for a female brain." The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked. "Why is the male brain so much more?" The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire group, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they've actually been used." Miss Terri's World by Miss Terri

Knew you'd get a kick out of this joke!
Oh, To Be 6 Again...
A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing his wife, looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off he asked what she'd like to have for her Birthday.
'I'd like to be six again', she replied.
On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Lucky Charms, and then took her to Six Flags theme park. What a day!
He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster, everything there was.
Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down.
He then took her to a McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake.
Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M's.
What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, 'Well Dear, what was it like being six again??'
Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed. 'I meant my dress size, you dumb ass!'
The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he's gonna get it wrong.

When they are really bad ... Joey walks ahead of me and hits the rocks with a stick ... I don't know if it really works or if he does it to make me feel safe ... lol ... I think it's kind of "don't ask - don't tell"! We live in the woods ... so occasionally a snake or a lizard get inside ... Joey is my official critter catcher!
