Good afternoon from the USA.....been doing stuff today...shopping, graduation is tomarrow...and finally got to the store to get me some more writing materials. I wish I could find some way to get me some ribbon for my IBM Selectric typewriter....but then again I wish I had an manual one I could go and escape in some nice cabin somewhere and not have to worry about electricity also.This week is "finals week" for the college students. Busy, busy, busy...and yes, we put new batteries in my camera yesterday.

Let us know when Syd arrives Ron, so we can toast to the "Grouse Club".... and sing Ol' Lang Sang...while you two get to visit. Syd, drive carefully...esp in the rain..cathyml is correct...so what kind of car did Avis give you? 

 We rented one for an across country trip with my dad and betty, to see his sister....we got there just as her birthday party was starting...I don't hink she thought we'd make it...and it was such an surprise...they told my dad he couldn't ever travel again, and I know he wanted to see her.He was moping around and an grouch and unhappy.  We rented an car with an fold down center backseat arm rest in it that went into the trunk....and wired his oxygen tank from the trunk to the backseat so he could sniff it anytime he felt like he needed to...worked great. He was so happy, it probably did wonders for his living several more years. As  my old co-worker said to me one time...when her dad died at the cascino...as least he left the world where he loved to be...at the cascino talking to his friends...and playin gthe slot machines. Not wasting away in an bed. I asked another co-worker one time as she was older, what she liked about coming out to Oregon...she said your older folks aren't required to sit in an rocking chair with an ton of grandkids and rot to their death.... mentally. Then she up and tells me she liked to never made it back here on her vacation, ...she ran into her hubby...she divorced him...but  he left an mark all the way down her face from taking the wall phone down it in an argument they were having...so while she was "back home" she ran across him...and he left, flipping her off...and went into an tavern....so she put an bunch of his stuff in his back seat.... in the motor of his car and lit an match....then took off running. Says she left for back out here the next day before the police could find her. I sit there looking at this sweet grandmotherly type and thought...I guess you shouldn't push granny to far these days. You never know what they might do....LOL.

With that I guess I better ought to get going for now...hubby just went to the Home Depoe..he's still trying to price out rain gutters. You would think with the economy so reportedly bad...some of the stores would roll back prices, don't see that as yet....... Have an good evening everyone!

Most the guys showed up in blue jeans and knit tops..some in t-shirts...the girls in jeans and knit tops also. A few dresses, a few skirts..but very few. Whole school goes to Oaks Amusement Park tomarrow and that's the last day of school for all three of the kids. I giuess for hubby and I....... our old age is showing?

Hello POEsters. I made through the rain to Somerset ok. I have seldom seen rain that heavy (as I skirted south London) even during tropical thunderstorms in S. Africa.

Avis gave me a Fiat 500. Very nice little car which uses cery little fuel. According to its on-board computer it averaged 80 miles per gallon from Ashford to South Petherton.

Awesome little car actually. The weather is not too good today but at least not raining. We are going to make it a museum day. Cars, planes, tanks and helicopters. Might throw in a stately home or 2 as well.

See you all soon.

Bye

Hi James.....I was up and down all last night as the weather changed and my ears were ringing up an storm.  Had you been here, we would of probably played an game of cards most the night long until I couldn't hold my head up any longer and finally fell to sleep out of sheer exhaustion..did listen to an bit of coasttocoast am last night though....fella was from England. Also watched an show on an couple over there in London decided to move to the Channel Islands and the island of Guernsy.(.like to cow is spelled)...on International house hunters...they ended up with an house after looking at three possibilites. Your houses over there and in Europe for the most part make use of the celing in lofts very often I noticed. Here they are made into crawl spaces and storage areas for the most part. We never seem to have enough room!

Syd..very good mileage...you sound satisfied with the car they offered you. I've rented converitables,Lincon town cars, but have also here lately gone to an more sensible mileage car....which I tend to do for cross country trips also. We put about 8,000 miles on an car one summer that cost us about $150 that week and our own gasoline and if we had anything wrong with it they came an got it with another new car to give us...it was covered from bumper to bumper if anything happened also on an weekly package deal...and we thought it such an better use of our money then buying an newer car or putting that many miles on our current car we had. We also one year rented an 35 foot motor home. That was $300 for the weekend..Friday night to Sunday delivery. . At anyway...when your done...you walk away and forget about all the problems assoicated with an monthly bill of buying your own. When you rent...you always have an brand new car ussually of some type. Not to much longeron the vacation, heh? What have your seen that's different so far?..or this this strickly family and friends over there? Should be back in time for the Olympics to start there in London soon....and miss those huge crowds an bit also. I am still waiting for the summer patio breakfast's here and the late night outisde my bedroom BBQ's on my small table top BBQ... as the sun sets. I like chicken teryaki kababobs and some thing cold.....to munch and drink on. My summers are often late night.... and early morning living. With lots of work going on in between those hours...going places and doing things. You feellas should go see Cathyml and learn how to paint those photos you take. Reddit.com...has an sunset picture of an skyline of Manhatten through an shot glass of whiskey that is one of the prettiest pictures I've ever seen...it would make an fantasic poster picture. Would probably have to hit the button "next" and go back an day or so by now to see it. Karen posted one in earthboppin that is different also...about using color...with pictures in black and white and going into color.

Kind of an dull day here today..things are starting to wind down, I think everyone has forgotten my birthday pretty much this year...at least as to doing anything or going any place. My son will be going out of town here later on...he has three huge windmill generators to haul between Colorado to Texas...during the week. Will be escorted with pilot cars enroute. So we grandparents always hang aound those left here.... while my son is not there nightly. Make sure she gets any help she needs and the grandkids are safe. Grandson has an week of Scout Camp coming up in July with Grandpa also on the far side of Mt. Hood. My son went there one year, I think that was the year they were learning scuba diving in an small pond and horse back riding and the care of horses, and archery...and this was in August when along came an freak snowfall overnight. Many didn't take warm clothes in late August...so it was near an roaring campfire .. until things  heated up again for summer..later that day. I briefly remeber going to get him that year... and all of us singing to Elvis' "Let's go on an midnight Swim" song all the way down off Mt. Hood on our way back into town. I guess I better go and look busy for some reason or another...as if I really care...ha!  There's always plenty of something to do around my house any more. I'm still mad that my heart doctor said I was an "typical mid-aged housewife" in his descritpion of me...EVERYONE knows in this town you look ordinary to avoid the gossip...and go out of town an couple of hundred miles to be "Gina the Mongolian Strip Dancer" as an side line...now I'm laughing... but he should get that kind of response for the typical housewife review. If I ever become an millionaire someday..."fat chance" as they say....I'll make him change that to "saucy and sucessful enterpertauer".  Have an good day everyone!..(.I'll make it possible to only see my postings... if I personally sign them at the bottom...before they get posted. So there you go, my SKL with an distintive certain circle encasing it... I use to use at work as an supervisor)

Good day everyone...I'm running late for my birthday today..it may have to be celebrated later on in an couple of days....though my hubby gave me an nice card that when I opened it up out popped paper flowers and butterflys and the card was twinking with lights, in the center of the flowers and butterfly wings and singing to me "Over the rainbow".  Had the grandkids here last night and through this afternoon today. First day off school. I have some things to talk about concerning "Remote Viewers" and the show last night on "coast to coast". I was thinking about that today..and I got what I call one of my "revelations" of information...the number four...represents the horses in the end days of the Revelation....we have an succession of four them repeated in family "sons" or neighbors lines living next to us for quite some time now. Even my own aunt had...four boys. since it is, that the "sons of beli"...started the supposed downfall of "Atlantis" through their agression of control..do you think they carry the "sign" with them into history..... with these four horses representing  "mankind"...and his reign here on earth " over" others. It is such that was said in the days of "atlantis" mankind never died...they went to "the crystal".. of creation...and renewed thier bodies from illness or deteroiation, of if they wanted to re-incarnated into new bodies...the "Son's of beli" wanted to change that, they wanted to be masters of their sexual activity in the world...and of course also through sex in reproduction also. Even wasn't the only person guilty of passions in the "Garden of Eden".When they went to destroy the crystal or atthe least tried to control it themselves. they caused the "Atlantis" distruction. I keep thinking about the new found oceanic pyramid, You can read about it if you google it...where an fella entered it and took out the "red crystal" and it was heard telepathically " take it and never return here again".

I feel like I am all lone here......one reason for the shorter posts you just mentioned James.

Lelsie got ahold of me in another web site and said they crashed our web site at Kingdom of nye...about the time I was going to mention the "remote viewing"...and why I haven't been into it before...I see it used to much in the past in harmful ways to humanity. I see much of it is used in un-God like control..particularly the Russians when they used it to "fake" heart attacks for others.. so they could rush the person off to the hospital and kill them and make it all look like there was nothing anyone could do to save the person's life...murder is murder you know...reguardless of how its done.  But thanks to coast, they have me reading Ingo Swans booklet they put on the web called "Penetration"..about the remote viewing of the moon and it's inhabitation by ET's of some kind... colonizing it..and telling us to keep going, we can't land on the moon..they don't want us there. I guess this book is now an $500 book ...if you want to own it...for the most part it went out of print.... to me at the moment, it's reading like an good sci-fi story. He claims he went into "remote viewing" but if he really feels that they " sensed" his prescence...it was more like he was "out of body"...to me that is different. .It appears that they can sense your intent ...as well as read your thoughts. So your either an benvolent person...and do such in actions...or you aren't. It is no reason why today's group of loving souls are out to get us all in someway.... being nice in the process. Something I think everyone is pretty well knowledgable about also. I well remember the so called "Star Command" from years ago...but they in part are not the same these days as they were back when...and I wonder what the agenda of all this is really. I ran into the original star command back when they were supposedly putting an protective grid around Sedonna, Arizonia so the "other forces" as they called them couldn't touch this site, as it is earthly connected to high spirituality of good and healing.I was glad when the people that do the "Harmonic Convergence" work...came to America and did rituals to protect our mountains from any danger also. Thier knowledge is of the oldest kind... and they to use it wisely for all of humanity. Without our mountains, an tusunmi could race across the face of earth without ever being stopped...and without trees, it cuts down the "air" we have to breathe..and upsets our rainfall and climate. Mankind is so busy making his bundle of cash..... that he can't put what's truly important into prospective. I do not want this planet to end up looking like the Sahara Desert out of misuse...mainly an "pile of hot sand"....and for the most part..... unuseable.  It was Gods gift to us...and we should use it as an holy gift from him .....for his benvolence to us all. I go for now...and leave some room for all of you to communicate here also in posting. 

Last year...and you can testifly this to be true by James Berkland..as I told him when we were predicting things in January...I felt something "different" about or around my birthday...and at that time didn't say I was thinking my life was in danger then...I beleive it was this episode with an UFO fly over the other night and what I think was them abosrbing the energy incoming. I can't seem to make it healthwise through the powerful "magnectic pulses" we are being bombarded with these days. It was interesting to read in Swans book that they claim to have built 5 mile high..one mile wide towers of some kind on the moon. I don't doubt they might be greatly affecting the transmissions of the various ways of communication these days. Including solar waves, electomagnectic and beam technology...and for everyone health sake, we had hope it is benevolent indeed to ourworld and other planets. There is much more to be said here, but time is lacking. I have felt some time that those that do remote viewing would like to add me into their knowledge...though unless it were used to guide others into being an better all over person..I am not really interested in it....and it makes me being an judger of others and only God can do that effectively.  I generally don't strike back at anyone  usless I feel proked to do it.... out of my own protection of survival.Not making me fearful of your intention towards me.... goes an long ways with me....and it had best be truthful.... I guess I go for now.
