I thought you would be interested in this story I found on news.msn.com: US ambassador summoned by Germany over NSA spying ( http://news.msn.com/world/us-ambassador-summoned-by-germany-over-nsa-spying#tscptme, )
Wait a second? Didn’t Snowden first go to China? Where China and their reverse-technology, was granted the rights to reproduce the Grundig SW radio? I hear people in American jails, know how to increase the band-with of small transistor radio’s. What could China do with a Grundig or cell phone, like the Samsung knock-off.
Now didn’t Germany discredit our secrets, as found in the German newspaper?
As for France, just how long were they (like Australia in Afghanistan) going to provide there battalions, in the Syrian civil strife? Long enough to see the US weaponry as a Socialist Country? Then pull-out and leave us to boots on the ground?
Now: what about Switzerland and that $2,800.00 a month? Doesn’t that story sound familiar, as in the US $10 Million dollar theory?
What happened to our spy-plane brought down by China? If France and Germany are really worried about spying? Wouldn’t we infiltrate the Belgian Arms Race? I think they have enough to worry about, with the Saab software in Fighter Jets? Comprendee-Vous?
No. One Global Problem? Malnutrition.
When I was a girl, we had a Siamese who loved corn on the cob.
Outranked by the skutters...
Poor kitty needs to be vacuumed! Good morning, y’all!
I don't know that just tickles me for some reason :)
Ohman! I wish I had known you would be in St. George!!! It’s only 120 miles from here, and I have a niece, nephew and brother-in-law there! I could have driven up to meet you!
*whine*
Wait. Are you still there?
Funny about your next post: was gonna ask you if it's all together somewhere because my aged brain seems to be missing some components of the story, but when I read things before I go to sleep, I lose parts of it as I drift off.
LOL!
I managed to get a solid six hours of sleep last night, and feel better, but the last couple of weeks have been really stressful for me.
However, I’m optimistic!
Hey, Nully, do you still have the link for the soap? I want to send it to my daughter-in-law, and I’m too lazy to hunt for it.
At last! A kitty with proper grammar and spelling!
Super Laundry Sauce for Dummies
Ingredients and supplies:
1 Entire 5.05 oz Bar of Fels Naptha Soap
2 cups water
2 cups boiling water
1 cup 20 Mule Team Borax Powder
1 cup Arm & Hammer Washing Soda (NOT Baking Soda)
2 (1 qt) Mason Jars and lids (Parmesan cheese flip top lid optional)
1 qt ziploc bag, blender, knife or grater, medium bowl, measuring cups, whisk, spatula or spoon
Cut or grate the Fels-Naptha soap into chunks. Place those chunks in a Ziploc baggie and add 2 cups of cold tap water. Remove as much of the air as possible from the bag and seal it.
Set aside for 48 hours.
Once the Fels-Naptha and water have set for at least 48 hours, gently massage the bag, squeezing any remaining lumps to break them up.
In a Medium size bowl combine borax and washing soda powder. Add 2 cups of boiling water and stir well to dissolve.
Snip the corner of the baggie off and squeeze the Fels naptha into the mixing bowl containing the dissolved borax/washing soda. Mix well with a spoon or spatula or a whisk for about a minute.
Divide the mixture evenly into 2 one qt mason jars. Add enough water to each to bring the contents of each jar up to the "shoulder" of the jar.
Unscrew the blade and bottom from your blender and carefully seat the gasket and blade on the jar, then screw on the bottom piece. Make sure your gasket is lined up properly, or it will get chewed up by the blade when you whip the contents of the jar.
Put the jar onto the blender and whip until smooth and creamy throughout. This takes about half a minute
The detergent is Smooth and creamy with the look and consistency of Mayonnaise.
Be sure to label the jar to prevent accidental ingestion!!
Unscrew the blender blade, attach a canning jar lid (or a repurposed Parmesan lid) Congratulations! You've just made enough Heavy Duty Laundry Detergent to wash 128 Loads of Laundry for about $1.76 and in less than 10 minutes flat.
By the way, it is smooth and creamy like mayonnaise after it is freshly whipped, but will thicken as it sets and must be stored with a cover on.
Here is EXACTLY How to Use the Homemade Super Laundry Sauce for Dummies:
1. Fill the machine with dirty clothesNOTE: Super Laundry Sauce does not suds, it just cleans!
2. Start the water, (hot- Cold- or warm- doesn't matter)
3. Measure out 1 Tablespoon of super laundry sauce
4. Stick the measuring spoon of detergent under the running water, let it rinse off the spoon.
5. Close the washer lid, go away and do something else while the machine runs.
Good job!
I dreamed that I was visiting a museum with four large cats. Cheetah-size, but they weren’t cheetahs, just cats. They took naps all over the museum.
Thanks, Nully!
*hug*
What a pleasant dream subject!
Until it was time to leave. Then it was like ... well, you know.
Like trying to get all my kids out of the library. “Wait a minute, where’s Pat? He was behind me when we started for the door, and now he’s gone!”
Squeak likes cantaloupe and watermelon.
Morning! Off to the supermarket!
I hated taking my kids somewhere. For years, children weren’t allowed in the commissaries and exchanges until they were 14, when they were eligible for their own ID cards. I LIKED it!
Lablady was a trial, but Hockeybughow wasn’t. He never got lost and always asked permission to go look at the toys or something else. Lablady would go into the bathroom and couldn’t seem to find her way out! LOL!
Now, when she goes into a private bathroom, she will change the TP on the roller so it rolls from the back to the front over the top of the roll...
I just put some ribs in the crock pot.
In a few minutes, I have to feed and water the critters, but I’m taking a break. I’m wondering if I will ever feel “normal” again...?
It’s all together in my LibreOffice file.
So far its about 77 printed pages worth of first draft story.
I need to make it more clear that the cube is a hologram that floats above the device, its how the interface looks, it ain’t Windows
Remember that there is still time dilation in space travel in my story, these small colonies easily become more primitive when they are settled. They might know about the technology but cannot yet not rebuild them.
This colony has their rudimentary Wireless service and they know how to use radio and some other things, Procter came from Zenith and he built the ADEW with parts from his little ship. Which I forgot to mention in the story.
Second draft is going to be better I think.
