Good morning Resty. Bookmarked.
Good morning folks! If you haven't run across it yet, Diplomad Blog is generating some interesting commentary on the UN and it's UN-helpfulness and perfidy concerning the Asian relief.
It seems that the latest "suggestion" from the UN is that US and Aussie forces now participating in bringing real actual relief to the area, should don blue UN uniforms. The blogger correctly asserts this is only in order to give the appearance (illusion more accurately) that the UN is in charge and doing the relief effort. It's a pretty interesting blog. Supposedly written by career US Foreign Service officers. They invite us to "Join the State Department Republican Underground."

You couldn't pay me enough to be in NYC over New Year's, especially New Year's Eve.
I have a better idea. How about we just run their blue a$$es out of this country. Let them have their little power party on somebody else's soil.
One big part of me wholeheartedly agrees. But I also think about the adage that says, keep your friends closer and your enemies closer.
How are you doing libby? Recovering from the holidays, like I am? We got the tree down yesterday so we are all packed up and put away early this year.

I am talking about the new reality show NOT the phony law suit against her!

Exactly correct.
the street = Wall Street = the insiders
The full screen name is "the Constitution is NOT null and void" but that was too long to type...
Well done.
Yep. I did the same thing, and cleaned up the spare room and bathroom since the kids left. That took me a few days to get around to. Work interferes with so much. Anyway, now it's all ready for FReeper visits, although I have nothing so fancy for wild parties as Gran does, so I guess we'll just have to go trash visit Gran's place for the wild pool parties and dancing girls and boys Darks and come here to recover. It beats Nully's basement.
Subject: Explanation of life
On the first day God created the dog. God said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. I will give you a life span of twenty years."
The dog said, "That's too long to be barking. Give me ten years and I'll give you back the other ten." So God agreed.
On the second day God created the monkey. God said, "Entertain people, do monkey tricks, make them laugh. I'll give you a twenty-year life span."
The monkey said, "How boring, monkey tricks for twenty years? I don't think so. Dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too, okay?" And God agreed.
On the third day God created the cow. God said, "You must go to the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a life span of sixty years."
The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. Let me have twenty and I'll give back the other forty." And God agreed again.
On the forth day God created man. God said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. I'll give you twenty years."
Man said, "What? Only twenty years! Tell you what, I'll take my twenty, and the forty the cow gave back and the ten the monkey gave back and the ten the dog gave back, that makes eighty, okay?" "Okay," said God, "You've
got a deal."
So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, and enjoy ourselves; for the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family; for the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren; and for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you.

LOL!
I am in the process of destroying this whole place. I've gone mad, I tell ya.
I'm going from one thing to another. The china cabinets to the washing machine. The drawers to the closets. Pack this, wrap that, wash this. OMG..
Someone help me?... whimper........
Trash this place..it's already ready for anything, even Darks....:(
Yikes! That's pretty bad.
The real caption:
"Gran's place is nice, but dang it's gonna be boring until Sharkey gets here."
They the power elite get away with this...because if they use through out law terms most folks believe it...not knowing it really takes patiences and effort to understand what is going on....
Just like elections...it takes a lot effort to screen out the bumbs...extra effort for the good guy to win!
Most people are too willing to believe the worst of someone....not use their scriptures as the benchmark.
What I mean is that gossip and opposition can taint good enough so a person who measure with the world yard stick, but ignore the spiritual yard stick...
Many ignore the spiritual yard stick because they have many times only paid lip service to their faith....not given enough of themselves to recived the gift of discernment (Holy Spirit)!
Gee how gracious of you....
Now to get my van down to the carwash today and drive it through one of those roto thingees for the first time. Those high pressure hoses just sling me around anymore. Gee, is there any chance I could drive off those rails in the roto carwash?
Morning Gran
Nice picture ... but will there be any dancing boys at the party too ???
Darks.....your reputation is twisting slowly in the breeze here.......
That wasn't meant as an insult. I'm sorry if you took it that way. I just simply cannot bear to be anyplace with large crowds of people.....anytime, but espeicailly around holdays when many of them are intoxicated and out of control.
I once got talked into going to a street bash in Tempe, Ariz. on New Year's Eve. Even though we left long before midnight, I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown before we escaped the press of people. I remember the crowd refused to even part to let an ambulance through to get to someone who was injured..
