Post away!
Happy New Year!
I have to report that after a week of many family get-togethers, everything was very civil and we had open and honest discussions. PTL!
I am sad to report that in the future, I will be exercising my third ammendment rights to all unmarried personnel.
Better than 2nd, I guess (at least for relatives).
/johnny
That is also considered. If they leave, that one won’t be applied.
3rd amendment rights? And they are?
No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
Happy New Year lysie!! Thanks for starting a new thread.
It’s really, REALLY windy out there tonight,, but the temps are in the mid 30’s,, and there’s no snow. So I shall not complain.
~~~wavin’~~~~ to all my ATRW friends.
Happy New Year to y’all here and I pray we have a better year than last year, namely a change of administrations in November.
Happy New Year to all, thanks for the ping lysie.
May 2012 bring us all good health, prosperity and happiness.
And may Barack Hussein Obama be relegated to his rightful place in the ash bin of history.
I received this from a friend and thought you might get a chuckle out of it:
To my liberal, Politically Correct friends:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, & any other synchronous holidays practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.
I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2012 but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make this country great. Not to imply that this country is necessarily greater than any other country anywhere in the world.
Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee(s).
To my Conservative Friends:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

First time I read the third amendment, my heart stopped briefly after the 2nd comma.
Not that I mind sleeping outside.. but I can authorize sleeping in the house, if it's my house. ;)
/johnny
But it is, now, mostly, around here.
I was going through some papers, and found some menus that ATRW folks had sent me.
I want to say thanks again to all those folks.
Became a pest. One wore out his welcome within 2 hours, the other waited 24 hours before his obnoxious qualities were known. They’re gone now. They will not be back.
No commercial pig this year. I've been strongly encouraged to cull some of the ferals here in Texas.
I don't think I'm going to bootleg any of them here (alive and fed up on corn) this year. The city is getting pissy about fines.
And bootlegging Miss Piggy was too stressful.
I do hope all is well with you and your crowd. I know ya'll had some weather a while back, and I know you are locally politically active.
I miss your Iowa caucaus reports.
/johnny
I reread it.
Butchering is done out back near the smokehouse.
Give 'em time on their own, and they'll shape up.
I assume you are talking about your own brood.
I don't know if you are in CONUS or in the field.
/johnny
I’m NOT talking about my own brood. If they acted that way, I would skin ‘em alive.
Nope, the youngest’s fiance had his groomsmen at our house. The single men were rude, crude and socially unacceptable. The wedding is over. They are gone. They are destined for singleness forever.
I’m in CONUS but hoping to leave ASAP.
I am wondering if they became pests because of being jerks or if they were liberals, which is totally self explanatory.
They are just jerks. Ironically, my ultra-liberal family behaved much, much better than these boys. In fact, in my family, we had non-rancurous political discussions.
Thigs are just fine here. Not much snow, but much less shoveling.
Mornin' Granny and Prairie.
Good to see you all, as always.
Good Morning NY!! It’s Blustery out there this morning, but I shan’t complain,, it’s been a lovely fall, after a really crumby summer. When actual winter doesn’t begin until after the first of the year, we hope for it to be short.
Great to “see” you johnny! Have a Blessed New Year, and I can’t imagine anyone complaining if you helped yourself to a Ferel Hog. Most people are grateful for someone reducing the numbers.
There you are! I was wondering how the year worked out. I remember early on you were having to haul water and then, I saw, the drought just continued and continued and continued. My heart broke for you. I’ll pray that 2012 will be much better and that calving will go smoothly with a minimum of trouble. GBU!
I see Andrea Mitchell stepped in it yesterday when she described the upcoming Iowa Caucus as not really representative of America. In her words Iowa is, "Too white and too rural."
Sure Andrea....
Praise Be!
~~~~Bach Atcha, IG, ~~~~ HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND ALL MY FAVE ‘PUTER FRiends.
Your tag line is sooo true.
Ohhh, yikes. More evidence that many people aren't teaching their kids how to behave.
Hello NY, Happy New Year!
Praise God for the moisture, I know what it’s been like in many areas. We had a party yesterday, had wanted to be out on the back patio, but the Lord decided we needed more rain and I certainly defer to His holy wisdom. We moved inside, everybody still had a good time.
Good luck with your calves.
Absolutely. These boys had no idea how to behave.
Well, it won’t happen again.
I guess you did! LOL!
Might be that your ultra-liberal family, and please forgive my pessimism, have nothing to fear that their dictator will be re-elected in November.
We didn’t discuss that, but it was clear from their speech that they are not at all pleased with him.
Good Morning Jem and Everyone. Just saw a picture of the bride and groom. Nice looking couple.
The caucus has begun. YIPPEE...
I started to write “prayers for Iowa” but stopped. I don't think there is any good answer available today. Prayers for USA is really much more necessary. God help us all.
/pessimissim
Things are rough at the moment, but the First lady and I will make it through. Heck, I'm not getting shot at, so things aren't that bad.
Methinks 2012 will be a much better year...Lord, are you listening...?
5.56mm
You are in my prayers.
I need some advice. I have had a recurring problem for a number of years. It doesn’t kick in in warm weather. Most of the time I had bronchitis preceeding. Neither of those two are present all the time.
My breathing sort of cuts off. My chest feels as if there is a band on it. If I am talking or singing, I have to stop, pause, and then I can restart. Sometimes I need to cough once or twice. It is a dry cough.
No fever is present.
I have the problem now but no drip.
I HAVE SEEN A DOCTOR, actually several, ABOUT THIS.
The docs here in the US have ruled out asthma, gastric reflux and a variety of other stuff. When they did these tests, my CBC numbers were all within normal parameters.
The doc in Papua did a chest x-ray, and then an ultra-sound of my abdomen. At least there, in that experience I received a diagnosis: CHRONIC APPENDICITIS and gave me instructions to AVOID VEGETABLES! They didn’t want to remove the appendicix and I still eat my peas.
So, I need some ideas. I am having the condition reoccur now. Fingernails, lips extremities are all pink (showing adequate blood flow and therefore enough oxygen.
Please brainstorm for me.
Prayers are up for it, anyway.
/johnny
/johnny
Do you have copies of your medical records in Papau? It sounds like you need to see an endocranologist and a complete physical. Be sure the Dr knows about your lack of O2 when talking or singing. That’s my suggestion. Have the Dr check your diaphram.
I may just give that one a try or perhaps a white peach sangria.
