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.
Good morning. The cats and I have put chicken in the crockpot. Happy trash day!
My trash is always happy to be released from the madhouse.
It's the trashcans that have bonded.
No one could put their trash out yesterday unless they held it while waiting for the truck...and held onto something solid. Quite a few trees were knocked over, and lots of power outages.
We had gusts up to 70 mph yesterday, sustained at 40+ and the driveway was littered with palm tree debris. I mean, there was a pile of it from one tree about 30’ across...dead frond and bark. Lots of bark scattered in other places, but that one pile was weird.
It has calmed down today, but I still don’t like the cold. I have to go out in it and take the trash out! LOL!
Lol!
Good morning and happy trash day to youse too!
It is not a happy Trash Day. Tom parked the car near the cans on the curb, and the trash company didn’t empty them. This is not the first time this has happened, but Tom and Bill have a form of mental defect (digital dementia) which results in their having no memory of past events unless such events generate a Grievance.
I’m speculating as to ways that I could make sure proper disposition of the trash cans sticks in their memory crystals ...
I just renewed your AAA membership for 14 months. Happy Halloween!
The logical consequences is to not let them drive. That’s not possible, under the circumstances. So restrict the driving to school and church, and everything else they will have to be passengers in someone else’s car.
Or...make them take the garbage to the dump themselves...
They’ll probably have to haul the trash to the dump.
That’s a good solution, because then they’ll have the opportunity to clean out the car to get the stink out. I’d definitely make sure they get that little detail done.
That would be interesting. They may have to persuade their dad that he wants to let them use his truck.
That’s a good idea! Wish I had thought of that! LOL!
I went to see Lablady today, and she liked my hair. I told her I didn’t particularly, but since the arthritis in my shoulders, elbows and wrists is getting so bad, I have to keep it short.
They went to a concert Saturday night, then she cleaned house on Sunday, and she has been out from work the last two days. I told her a few things about CFIDS, and told her also that her situation is similar, so she may as well listen to me. I’m a mother with Time In Grade!
She was worried about being able to make the trip to Europe in the summer, and I told her that oddly enough, she will most likely be fine, as her focus will be outward, rather than on herself and her functionality problems. I told her it is when she comes home that she will suffer.
She is also going to get a maid to come in once a week, which I think is a great idea. It will take a lot of stress off her.
And I need to write her a little “how-to” manual to help her deal with what she is facing.
I “knew” this was coming almost two years ago. But she wasn’t talking to me, then.
I think they should use their own car. That way, the smell alone will be a reminder...
*e-vil laughter*
I can envision having to go through this when I start showing symptoms of Alzheimers’ Disease. When that happens, I’ll probably be grateful that Frank is so excessively attached to me!
I’m really annoyed with Bill and Tom, because they both know the car blocking the trash truck has been a problem in the past. However, since I didn’t tell them this time - “You put the cans over there. You put the car over here.” - they just didn’t think about it.
What it comes down to, is I’m the only one who cares whether the trash gets picked up or not, so “I’m responsible” for making sure it happens, and if other people screw up, “It’s my fault” for not reminding them yet again.
They’d have to wear even more Scents!
But the idea of taking a disagreeable smell to and from a landfill will most likely consist of ONE EVENT before they got the idea: On trash days, we park HERE!
More Scents won’t hide the garbage smell after the first trip to the dump! LOL!
They will have to CLEAN the interior and I suspect when that happens, they will remember to part where they should. It is NOT your responsibility to tell them where to park after the first time you tell them. THEY need to be responsible for their own actions. DO NOT ENABLE THE LAZY!
;o]
Mr. Laz A Mataz, I owe you a sincere apology.
I said you Welshed on a bet, and the fact of the matter is, you were correct on the facts all along and did not Welsh. So was I (correct), but I didn’t believe it so I wore the giraffe pic for a few days. It’s OK, that part, because it was fun seeing the giraffes show up here and there, and it served as a great way to find out three whole people read my FB posts! Three!
I should have had more faith in my own reasoning, and yours as well. My coming on the UT thread and calling you a “Welsher” was totally inappropriate, and quite beyond the pale. I am truly sorry and feel just terrible.
I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me, Laz.
