Hi there Diana...How goes?.....

Guys made it home from Scoutcapades...it started raining here last night and it has kept it up until this afternoon...they are glad to be back. I've been resting this afternoon an bit. We now have schools closed in eastern oregon dur to the John Day River flooding them.We had an tremedoous amount of snow in the mountain ranges this year...in some places they said 600 per cent over normal. I would also be stocking up on food....as the mid west is pretty soggy rght now also...can't plant thier fields. Maybe things will straighten out in needed time. You know those clear plastic sheets of polyester....well, I'm using my glass top patio table out front for and "greenhouse" effect right now....covered with the plastic. WEighted down by plants on top of the table...and hanging over to keep the cool weather out...will see about an grow light maybe tomarrow...put the cord through the umberlla hole and let it hang down an bit to keep it going.

I guess I best get going...hope your all doing some good in the world and for everyone to have some better times also. Talk later...

I recently upgraded my IE and it won't let me insert a smiley.

 

Hi Ruth, no problems with Firefox, maybe it's time to switch?

Picture of England avatar Ruth, what have I missed? Have to look back...


Hi Ron:  Thanks for the advice.  I typically use Firefox, but since their last upgrade, it won't let me open a video or google street scene in full screen.  So I keep switching back and forth. 

The avatar I put up yesterday is a picture of me and my better half at Stonehenge.  You can just barely see one of the stones over David's left shoulder.

I understand entirely Ruth as I have similar problems from time to time with various search engines.

Stone over David's left shoulder? I thought it was a tear (thought you had ripped his coat through dragging him there!) lol

Good Morning...OK...Ruth..Do the "Blue Stones" give off an electrical current at "Stonehenge"..or could you get close enough to them? I heard at one time they were refusing to let the people these days get up next to the stones now to protect them. Naturally I don' t have my report stuck in my Stonehedge book...but it cites in the "As above..so below" theory of on sky objects in comparison to it's earth placement....that the stars of of the consrtellation "Cygnus" goes over head during the mid-summer rituals...in such an way as does the lunar aspects seem to take it through the henge stone's Ley line in much the same style of travel as what's going on in the sky above it. Seems to me that I wrote something on these stars in this constellation indicating an importance also...my report is still around here "somewhere".

In my latest archaelogy book it states that in March 2009 in an field in Staffordshire, in the middle of England, just north of Birmingham, Terry Herbert with his medal detector ran onto an lot of beeping noises...seems he came upon an hoard of 3,000 gold and silver pieces..many inlaid with semi-precious jewels in what appears to been an early battlelfield. Much of what remains was in broken fragments. They beleive from the inscriptions on some of the pieces they are from an early Anglo-Saxon period. Interesting little article to read. None of the objects they found had an feminine touch to them...is why they think this was an battlefield case. They show several pieces in photographes and naturally the British authorites since the find has been called in for excavations also. The lettering dates back to an style used in the 7th or early 8th century. So far this is the most spectacular find so far in Britain..with an worth approaching to about 5 million dollars so far. It says the most remarkable part of this story is that 40,000 people showed up and stood for 5 hours to get into the museum they took some of the pieces to...just to see them. It seems that the Staffordshire hoard has given back to the people of England a part of their past.

I bought this particulalr book because it has an article about Zahi Hawaas in it..Egypt's famous Antiquities Chief..whom quit his post recently and was re-insituted back into his job there after. He claims that the world has six very precious objects that he'd like to see the Egyptians get back some day..for their museum...(good idea if they could stop the looting in the area when there's disputes of political means going on)They are...The Rosetta Stone, in the British Museum..London....The Bust of Nefertiti, in Neules Museum, in Berlin, Germany....The Zodiac of Dendera, in Musee Du Louvre, Paris, France, the statue of Hemiuna in Hildeshem, Germany..museum there...The Bust of Ankhhaf Musuem of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts, and the Statue of Ramesses II at the museum in Turin, Italy. Maybe someday he can find something on his own soil in Egypt even just as impresssive that will give the country an new light spread upon their ancient history. As an "genealogist" of the past..we try to spread out our findings...so people can not reproduce them (information) to thier own satisfaction...something going on very rampant these days.

With that..how is everyone doing this fine Monday...I'm still trying to get up in ways....I went into an deep sleep last night....but not before hearing how many of us are not going to be here 5 to 15 years in the USA...as Globbbalists are plotting to take out the USA  and this guy was advocating removal by then to the Southern Hemisphere if your wanting to survive in the days ahead. He says that the world's popluation is 95 per cent above the equator as it is and this is the area some factions have chosen for world de-population. Ladies...help the world...take your birth control pills!!!...or do I dare say this?... At any rate he says the best country to scoot to is Argentina. You know at 62 years old...I will probably succumb in the days ahead anyway. I do have an history of long living relatives..but they didn't have to put up with today's world of high prices and lower quality either....with hints of no means of financial support in the future. I like what I read about "Atlantis" from an channeler one time, though I am told you can't count on the information at times...they "renewed" their bodies physcially when they got to wearing out, with crystals..."Look Ma!...new fantasic shape in one afternoon!"...years younger!!!

.......  I go for now.... see what my day brings tis worthy.
