We had an Golden classic Buick out from the tow company hauled it off away..stolen and dumped out in front of our house...leaked oil all over the road also. You know I wouldn't want that car even if it was fixed up.. it looked like an real gas guzzler... and they say prices are still going up...I'd like an electric car...and even they need them slightly bigger. At least one of them to run around town in and leave the long distance to something else...they really have no suitable cars for sale that fulfill all an person's needs thesed days. Good luck trying to find one. To dam expensive also...by about $10,000 most the time...for what you get in them. I know an very wealthy guy...he owns five used cars of different makes and models...refused to pay those big dollars out for transporation...he rents an car if he needs to impress anyone. For one thing he flies most the time if he needs to go anywhere....he had, an older Jeep...he had an little gas saving car....he had an older station wagon....he had an full sized older pickup....and he had one older nicer car..but most of his cars were at least 10 years old when he bought them, and if any of them had car problems..he gave them away and wrote them off his taxes as an donation. He claimed his car insurance was cheaper at 10 years old also. |

I read this on reddit.com...along with some of the ways they kept hese people from finding employment to support their families with also...they are asking for an "clean out" of this type if individual or company and/or union also...under the so called discrimination laws. You know "God" would give them back... what they put out mostly likely... if what they said about them was the truth. Then we have Justin Beiber giving hair rising advice to Prince William and his thinning hair..Justin is an Canadian singer...he says someone ought to tell him about "Propecia"...that makes your hair grow back. Thin hair is unacceptable these days....and there's something out there for everyone with any health problems. This is an thing that runs in the men in our family also...I beleive though it may be " stressed" caused from putting up with BS from others. Same goes for me on the heart medications....but I put up with an lot of "BS" handed to me to resolve also from others. As the bible says...those of us as " leaders" are also the " servants" to all....not like those greedy pocket stuffing leaders we have today...which as you see pass all their "BS" off to others to solve... or get disposed of in some way in thier leadership I do suppose. I do beleive though that no man that isn't good to others retains his role as an leader for very long..it's counter productive to what God says. Coast to coast said last night that many people over here have been forced to live on less then $25,000 an year with our economic downturn...and that 62 per cent of Americans can't dig up $1,000 in savings to help others....they are that low in cash. There is only an very select few....that has all kinds of money these days. Mostly people whom paid themselves....sometime in the past. With that I go and do some more gardening. I wish my neighbors would, so the neighborhood would look nicer. It devaluates our property to not have the front yards looking top notch...they are not that big anyway. |

Mae Treavor and Jennings. They still played an fairly competitive game against another usa team....I did not see an lot of Mercy toward them..they earned their Gold Metal. |

I came in stiff...sore...and feeling pretty dirty to say the least...I enjoyed my bathtime...and I enjoyed the Olympics tonight also...just an couple of days left now.Things are getting competive wise..right down tough! But I think in ways..while those surprise wins this year were well received, so has been the Americans winning thier gold Metals...as we have every day any more...someone telling us what's "wrong" with us...rather then what "good" we do at times. No, we are not spoiled brats over here...and are earning our rewards like everyone else .If sister in-law doesn't come in tomarrow...will probably be here by Saturday sometime. I can't really say that I've had every square inch of the yard looking good..but this comes the closest in many an year. So if I'm not in tomarrow....I'll be out in the yard working. You all have an good day...and maybe " catch up" with you later on. |

Sk Lawson Posts: 4014 Joined: 7th Oct 2010 Location: USA | Posted at 05:43 on 11th August 2012 Well Ron, I finally got tired enough that I asked my hubby to take me to our house...as I felt myself wanting to go "out of body" over at his sister's house....I do that as an "energy saving" mechanism I close down literally... and while there in body..not there in mind..it's blank. Off in "space" some where. I do get an lot of visionary information picked up then ususally also. My son was headed to his house tonight also...getting back from the week of hauling. The persiade meter shower starts tonight and peaks tomarrow night at 2 am..where they say if your in the right spot you might see as many as 60 shooting stars whizz by in an hour. I'm resting an bit right now, and will go back later on to see his sister again before she heads back Monday. She's looking better then I thought she would..as she had knee replacement surgery earlier this year also. Everyone else pretty much the same. As far as it goes..picture this...and hedge of pineapple mint blooming in tiny white flowers..in front of that three rose bushes...pink long stemmed roses...down below in front of them "pink" snapdragons..in front of them between every potted plant yellow marigolds...and in the pots, red begonias, brilliant blue and white tiny flowers with reddish orange marigolds in the center...stretched out in an long row along the grass walking path, it makes an pretty site. Most the yard is pink geraniums...with an few of other things tossed in for variety.. |
