A DAY OR SO IN MY LIFE! WHO CARES?

George has been a musician for over 40 years and has many musician friends. He has a friend very talented who is also good at putting together bands and recording work for them. He had put together a new band of several people he had worked with all young and talented. He was getting them a gig down town near us. George's friend called and invited us, saying his wife would be there too. I had planned to go with George but as the day wore on I was simply too tired. I got ready for bed early and...

Christianity is a Jewish religion. Jesus is a Jew. His birth, death and resurrection are promised all through the Old Testament or what is known as the Jewish Bible. Isaiah 52 and 53 about half of each of these chapters in the Old testament are so clearly showing this. Jesus can be seen in each of the 66 books of the total Bible Cannon. All the Biblical writers with the exception of Luke are Jewish. If you read the whole Bible you will see clearly how it all works as one. God added a new... Sign in to see full entry.

I have been writing on Blogit for almost 10 years. The amount of argument has lessened but not as much as the ability to write what it is you have to say. When I began there was a long list of people writing about politics and religion. So many of them disagreed with me and did not mince words about it. This was the case among others disagreeing as well. We have fewer readers or at least I do and I feel there are fewer to read. I wrote about religion. I do know about Christianity, Judaism and...

These past few years have been the craziest I have seen in weather conditions all over the continent. We have had storms again from Missouri, across the South and back up the East Coast. Kabu just wrote that they had another blizzard. Today it was beautiful sunny and about 80º in North Alabama. It is time and past it to plant a garden but the ground is still too wet. I guess I can never be totally pleased. I am just praying for all those who suffered personal and property damage and tankful we... Sign in to see full entry.

Now I am wondering why in the world do all my friends and family have these things and they did not even warn me. I know that Smart is really a relative term. If that phone was really smart it would clue me in on what to do with it seeing as how I bought and paid for it. I own that little piece of communication and I have absolutely no control over it. No problem I am told it comes with a little book. Book I surmise, this must be something like a recipe book one of those things I cannot... Sign in to see full entry.

Of course I am taking some things for granted but I assume most of you are thirty or older. If this does not apply to you there may be nothing in this post to apply to you. Each person lives a life different than anyone else. Then collectives of us live lifestyles in groups of similarity. Still each family will be different to some degree. I would like to know more about what you think of life on this planet now, ten yeas past and twenty or thirty years ago. There were no televisions when I was... Sign in to see full entry.

Dick Kantenberger Gifted Education Writer Examiner.com History Lesson on Your Social Security Card Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this. It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts. Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to... Sign in to see full entry.

In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most... Sign in to see full entry.

I am totally through with chocolate candy, easter eggs and painting counter tops. I think I will play a bit. I am good at accidents. I was making dinner last night or rather yesterday afternoon when I put some conglomerations into my three trusty little crock pots. I had a nice package of chicken tenders and I didn't want to fry, or even bake I wanted peace and good reading while dinner cooked. So I had a wonderful accident. I brined my chicken for a little while, put my seasonings on it which... Sign in to see full entry.

Of course it is not "all fools day" I know better. Even the Sun found its way South again and we are having a lovely spring day, I wish the same for you. I am as happy as a pig in a poke. This month is the rush down to the tax man's requirement month. So I plan on attempting a bit of gardening if possible. I already have white Iris blooming. But mostly I plan a lot of cooking, I love my counter tops. Time will tell how they hold up. I suppose if I had one of those grand kitchens like you see on... Sign in to see full entry.

I want to wish all of you a HAPPY EASTER. I am not getting into the word EASTER. I am not talking about whether you are or not a believer. Those are totally your choice. I just want you to know that I am so thankful for the work done by God/Jesus on this weekend we celebrate. When this was I do not know except that it was 33 years after the birth of Jesus. So I pray God's blessings on all of you according to your personal needs. Sign in to see full entry.

This does not show how really pretty I feel it is. You didn't see it before, lol. It looks grayish on here but it is deep shiny jet black with silvery flecks. I get to cook here for the first time today. George has shown the greatest of patience in this endeavor. Sign in to see full entry.

Oh I am just wondering if you know someone in a business or a light social manner well enough to chit chat but are not acquainted with their close friends or their personal business. You run into this person and she tells you she is about to be married and shows you a lovely diamond. What is about to be the new social behavior for this situation? You know absolutely nothing about this person's sexual behavior or preferences and are not interested in that. You are not a homophob but now you... Sign in to see full entry.

We had spring type weather all through the winter months now it is cold as blue blazes. It was snowing here in Paradise this morning. Our project is requiring 72 hours of ventilation. Ventilation means open windows. Mr Winter has positioned himself in my house. I heard Tap's got a record snow fall for this time of year. How are you guys across the border up in Canada doing? Well I just gave myself permission not to bother about it all. I can't do more than a fluffy robe over all I can find and... Sign in to see full entry.

Well we are still working on the kitchen. We put on three coats, took off three coats and began again with all new products. How is it looking now? Beautiful but it is still three coats away from being finished. It is the fact that evrything from the kitchen is on tables and I have not cooked meals in so long. Sandwiches soon look like begger food. I want to cook again. I really am okay with it because I know it will be done right and lasting so I will be patient until it is all finished then I...

Does it ever just set your head spinning when people just don't see it the way you do and you simply can't get it. I am not talking about things that pits a person against another; at least not in the sense of breaking a friendship or even arguing. I can watch news for 20 minutes and wonder why anyone in the world thinks our president is worthy of running a chicken slaughter station. Oh also our news networks that are coddling him and his rules. CBS just posed a race where Americans ran to a... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't like the little granite chips. So it is back to the drawing board. I love all the encouragement you have given me. I think maybe I will simply swirl or smear grey and white on top of the black and see how that goes. I will send photos when we finish and you can be the judge. I have no fear of experiment. But not just for the sake of experiment. Just know that I cannot write and labor away at the same time. I am at work fast and furious to complete this project to your approval because of...

We are getting granite counter tops! Oh I know you will want to share my joy but not so fast boys and girls. Let me just tell you the whole story. All of you know our house is more than a 100 years old. I do believe our counter tops may have been one of the first renovations. They look like 1950 Formica. I have simply looked the other way for a very long time and we got a wild hair and decided to do something to them. There is no way we can get granite nor would I want to without remodeling the...

No nursing home for us. We'll be checking into a H oliday Inn! With the average cost for nursing home care costing $188.00 per day, there is a better way when we get old and feeble. I've already checked on reservations at the Holiday Inn. For a combined long term stay discount and senior discount, it's $59.23 per night. Breakfast is included, and some have happy hour in the afternoon. That leaves $128.77 a day for lunch and dinner in any restaurant we want, or room service, laundry, gratuities...
