I am back fro an few...waiting for hubby to return and I can go get some corn plants and an acron squash maybe.

On this Rais fellla....when I was looking up the mamluke commander named Baibers accroding to Wikipedia...and the leaders of the timein this area I ran across the name of the oldest brother of the Boston bombings recently as "Tamerlan"....some of these fightng the French Crusaders were partly Monguls from Ghengis Khan linkeage also. Iwonder if those brother's mother knew of the leader back then called Tameran.  In the Lawson lieage of this period we have an Marmaduke Lawson showing up also. I was always told that it was the name coming out of th emiddle east for "Bal"..meaning "George"also in lineage. Bal's cult came from Iraq..not Iran. Both William Rogers and Thomas Lawson sport some rather well educated ties to very high places within the church...namely Canterbury Cathederal. They were not Catholic though...and neither was the Rev. Wessington (Washingoton) man burned at the stake either. It was most likely the catpult to get out of England for manyof them with Templar ties though. AS Planegents...they were going broke...the French already had...so they were into finding Gold despartely by the time they founded Jamestown, virginia. The French went more into Mexico/South America until the Hugonate(sp?) epsiode started and they came to America. We are no different these days...and expensive Government and no one working to support it. Have we learned our lessons as of yet. How many Islamics have to die because of an extremist religion...not good. God never meant for this to be this way...by any religion and they are not alone in the world. I do get an kick on how the "Rogers" though are like wise kind of throw into being witches also...I understand that Devonshire is pretty good in the past for the footprints of the "Devil"in the area. Many of these French went to England and this area before coming over to America. The Berry family is one such example.  Iwonder if they have an natural bent to deal with the devil....remindsme of Frank Sinatra in "Meet the Devil at 4 O"clock" movie...where he saves the little kids lives from an exploding volcano and of course as an convict there...it takes his life...and you have this feeling he wasn't all as bad as was told..black and white...but an excellent movie. The residents of "Haiti" say that they don't have disasterous earthquakes if they don't worship Voo-doo. But they siton one huge MASSIVE earthquake fault none the less. ..voo-doo or no voo-doo rituals. Someday.....is about all I can say. WEll, he's back and so I leave this and stop all my posting. It may someday be my contribution to POE in my later years....when I am no longer around.,,but I will still try to keep it down an bit. Have an good day everyone.

Well, all hell broke out tonight..between me and my cat..the purple one. She jumped upon an bookcase like peice of furniture I have and proceeded to walk across the top of it knocking down all my aged old figurines. I might of at one time been able to sell them in the need for money..but not now. This is why I have so many collectibles..because  I'm never really allowed to have any thanks to others. One of them was an pipe holder...an old man sitting and has an pipe in his mouth...and the bowl to hold the pipe was next to him in the figurine. No one smokes around here, but they don't make that kind of stuff these days. another one was an little boy holding two lambs in his arms...I use to use around Easter. In all about four of them.

The winds...I've been talking about the wind lately tearing the smithereens out of my fruit setting in my yard out back...we don't have these kinds of winds normally in May...when we have them in the autumn...the fruit has been picked months prior...we also don' have 85 degree days in May either ususally. But..today...as this went through the area...it tore and kocked down five different limbs and trees over on cars destroying them, and in one case an carport...put one out in the freeway in Portland....not good news. People also lost control of an small lear private jet that went off the runway in Canby..and small town south of Oregon city...they were expereinced enough pilots they were able to keep it from bursting in flames though they crashed it. Just as still as still can be.

I am understanding there was an "tusunmi" of ice that crashed through buildings off of one of  the Great Lakes also...about an 6 footer...never hard of that one before either in my liffetime. Whose the bimbo doing the weather modifications?

Dancing with the stars tonight was quite good and you could tell all those people have issues with the need to be winners...as are most of us these days..it will be up to the people voting no doubt.

As I talk, it is dead still out tonight...but rain is coming back in for midweek. They said turning cooler also..so still have my garden to keep an eye on...front yard bothers me most...the grass in it is getting patches of ellow grass in it...something you might see in September...not May. Hubby said to go an get soem turf builder and hope fo rthe best...but this is expensive to put up with...our water cost to dam high heaven these days any more. we are not like where my sister-in-law lives with the semi aired climate...they water theri yards around the clock...off the Columbia River for an low one time yearly fee...we have to use city water...as she uses city water for her house only also.  We can't keep this up being on Social Security very easily. My grass is not all the much anyway to tell you the truth..biggest patch of it is my front yard. I think I will go get the turf builder tomarrow and let the rain comin gin Wenesday do the watering and see if it can make it come back alive again. Had an neighbor some years ago up the street that took out his welding torch and burned his grass down to the stubble...said he couldn't afford the weed killer...let it come back on it's own over winter. I have neighbors that in some cases have no green grass as it is..so our green grass kin doff sets their rock an the other neighbors bark dust.Have one that's never finsished his fence in 30 some years also. Our so called "quality" area don't look so quality with all this going on. I guess I go to bed...but it is on my mind that we were told the other day that May 13th had very bad astrological omen to it...they are still thinking before May is out and June hardly comes in that something really bad is going to happen one the west coast. Hoping the Sunspo tthat caused the radio blackout today doesn't bother planet earth, it will be facing us tomarrow. Not an whole lot we can do about it...though they say "prayer" has been proven before to lessen them.  Good night everyone!

Let me guess...especially when they purrrr ..right Ron? Did you know that the longest Broadway Musical to run was the production of "Kats"in New York...well it was. did you know that De Caprio...whom I just saw this last weekend and the leading lady in the movie "The Great Gatsaby"...auctioned off some of his art...and raised 39 million some dollars for Parks and Forrestry projects yesterday. What an guy. No favortism,,everyone can enjoy the benefits from that money.

OK Ron, James where you two ditch out at...Dave with his little gremlins also....I took "Miracle Grow" and an sprayer water hose and did the entire front lawn this morning to see if I can revive it again...and where ever there were brown spots..tossed in some slow release growth fertilizer in that area as well. Planted some more, talked to my sister in-law in Washington State,she said that Annie and hubby and my other brother in-law are going on an cruise ship to Alaska in June... washed an changed my entire bedroom and cleaned it up...cleaned off the back porch, and cooked dinner and all the usual around the house so I'm ready to sit down and watch the semi-finals in DTWS tonight...next week the last series of the year. My how time goes so quickly. Picking up my sister tomarrow to bring her over to see what I've been doing lately...have lunch maybe. You guys could of used an hit with the "Miracle Grow"...Ron would have hair down to his belly button....James wouldn't need an Epi-laugh...and Dave would keep the Gremlims better organized...and the grouse could of lived happily ever after. "Oh, Look at POEville...so green and lush these days...why even Ricahrd might want to visit in person..and Ruth couldn't get rusty from staying inside all the time. Cathyml..could dodge an few storms and everything is just tra la la...with that I guess I better get going and get my favorite spot on the sofa where my" toes" can dance with the stars.. and enjoy myself. All in one merry day of action!

You could stand to share some of it with me. lol.  I stayed up last night after DWTS to listen to an hour radio show with Cliff High on it. He writes about the futrure off random wording and this time it involved remote viewers....they are forcasting for an bad earthquake in Seattle by this weekend...if not some kind of coastal event as well. Whatever they say the distruction will be over by the end of the month.  They are definately picking up the Pudget Sound area. They are seeing bridges down, and surviors turning to each other in the communities to help each other. He feels the effects could go as far as 200 miles into Oregon. Communications will be down...and all the ususal with this kind of prediction. he claims worldwide they have been picking up UFO reports and think they might be trying to lessen this from happening as severely. Cliif is usually right on something happening, but not always the correct epicenter. Such as when Bushes daughter got married in Texas...he saw some kind of disastaer attached to it...well, it turned out jolly on the spot of an big quake going on in China not Texas. to be on the safe side, I might take down some of the glass items in the house and buy some drinking water also..those doings never hurt to do at any time. I did though just bought my last prescription for my heart meds to be delivered about then by mail. Starting to day an most of the week ahead it will be showers outside. Except for the weelend. Hope he is wrong.

Ron if you let your hair grwo down to your bellly button could we  dye some of it purple? WE could call you an weird kind of "Ron-noid" maybe..laughs. Next week's DWTS is going to be an toughy as those left are all extrememly good dancers. Well, off to go an get my sister for the day...so have an good one everyone! Powerball is the third largest winnings ever 380 million.dollars tonight...how I wish!
