Welcome

Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot.com/ . CAVEAT LECTOR- Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone. Please feel free to ignore this blog, but also feel free to browse and comment on my posts! You may also scroll down to respond to any post.

For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Renaissance etiquette ... Thx Marge R!

I found this interesting and thought you would too:
Keeping Renaissance Etiquette Alive for the Facebook Generation | Media Relations

 
Matthew lives in Princeton, NJ and teaches at the college there.
He also speaks, reads, and writes Italian language and works in Florence,Italy about  3 or so months out of the year.  He is very brainy and a scholar.
His brother, Patrick, lives in Seattle,WA, married with 4 children and is a President of a National Bank there.
His sister, Megan, is still single, a register nurse working in Doylestown,PA  local hospital and commutes from her Mom's house located in Washington Crossing, PA. 
My Uncle Frank, passed away at 63 from asbestoes lung cancer in Jan 1990.
Both parents were very intelligent and so are these cousins.
 
My aunt Mary Jane contacted me last year as she was doing some historical
background on my Dad's side of the family.  That is how we have reconnected; but I am not in contact with my cousins only through her.
Sure hope you enjoy Matthew's article.
 
By the way, after 10 years of dating his girlfriend in Florence, Italy, they
are finally getting married Nov 10th for the first time and same for her..
Matthew is currently teaching his classes online and will be spending part of his time in Italy and in NJ.  Guess they will be traveling a lot.

Mexico is angry ... thx Marge R!






I checked this and it’s true. What is this country coming to.
"...It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.."
--Samuel Adams
MEXICO IS ANGRY
Wow!    And make certain you read at the bottom
of this page, the part that says it will take 30 more seconds
to read!  Please forward to all you know and ask them to forward
also.

The shoe is on the other foot and the Mexicans from the State of
Sonora , Mexico do not like it !Do you believe the nerve of these
people?   It's almost funny.  The State of Sonora is angry at the
influx of Mexicans into Mexico !      !Nine state legislators from the Mexican State of Sonora traveled to
Tucson to complain about Arizona 's new employer crackdown on
illegal s from Mexico .   It seems that many Mexican illegal s are
returning to their hometowns and the officials in the Sonora state
government are ticked off. A delegation of nine state legislators
from Sonora was in Tucson on Tuesday to state that Arizona 's new
'Employer Sanctions Law' will have a devastating effect on the
Mexican state. At a news conference, the legislators said that Sonora , -
Arizona's southern neighbor - made up of mostly small towns - cannot
handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools that it will face
as Mexican workers return to their hometowns from the USA without
jobs or money.

The Arizona law, which took effect Jan. 1, punishes Arizona
employers who knowingly hire individuals without valid legal
documents to work in the United States . Penalties include
suspension of, or loss of, their business license. The Mexican
legislators are angry because their own citizens are returning to
their hometowns, placing a burden on THEIR state government instead
of ours.

'How can Arizona pass a law like this?' asked Mexican Rep Leticia
Amparano-Gamez, who represents Nogales . 'There is not one person
living in Sonora who does not have a friend or relative working in
Arizona ,' she said, speaking in Spanish. ' Mexico is not prepared
for this, for the tremendous problems it will face as more and more
Mexicans working in Arizona and who were sending money to their
families return to their hometowns in Sonora without jobs,' she
said 'We are one family, socially and economically,' she said of the
people of Sonora and Arizona .

Wrong!      The United States is a sovereign nation, not a subsidiary of
Mexico, and its taxpayers are not responsible for the welfare of
Mexico 's citizens.  It's time for the Mexican government, and its
citizens, to stop feeding parasitically off the United States and
to start taking care of its/their own needs.

Too bad that other states within the USA don't pass a law just like
that passed by Arizona . Maybe that's the answer, since our own
Congress will do nothing.!

*New Immigration Laws*

Be sure to read to the bottom or you will miss the message...

1. There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools.
2. All ballots will be in this nation's language.
3. All government business will be conducted in our language.
4. Non-residents will NOT have the right to vote no matter how long
they are here.
5. Non-citizens will NEVER be able to hold political office.
6. Foreigners will not be a burden to the taxpayers. No welfare, no
food stamps, no health care, or any other government assistance
programs. Any who are a burden will be deported.
7. Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount
at least equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage.
8. If foreigners come here and buy land, their options will be
restricted. Certain parcels including waterfront property are
reserved for citizens naturally born into this country.
9. Foreigners may have NO protests; NO demonstrations, NO waving of
a foreign flag, no political organizing, NO bad-mouthing our
president or his policies. These will lead to deportation.
10. If you do come to this country illegally, you will be actively
hunted and, when caught, sent to jail until your deportation can be
arranged. All assets will be taken from you.

Too strict.?  The above laws are the current immigration laws of
MEXICO.!  If it's good for American's to obey Mexican laws, then it's
good visa versa.!!!

Additionally, this will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree,
please pass it on. An idea whose time has come: Somehow, that
doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the
law. The self-serving must stop. This is a good way to do that. It
is an idea whose time has come. Have each person contact a minimum
of twenty people on their address list, in turn ask each of those
to do likewise.

In three days, most people in The United States of America will
have read the message. This is one proposal that really should be
passed around.

You are one of my 20.  If you don't have twenty, pass it on to
whatever number you can.

"The problems we face today exist because the people who work
for a living  are outnumbered by those who vote for a living."

Reagan spoke - we listened ... Thx Pidge F!

  This is really good - Reagan really could get his point across and still entertain.  Makes one appreciate what we once had!!!!

Watch this to the end, and you'll see the difference between a true orator, and a wannabe who can't speak without a teleprompter:

You may not have known this ... Thx Lyle S!

1. You've probably been ignoring this feature.

You've probably been ignoring this feature.
Most aluminum foil boxes have press-in tabs that secure the roll in place, so you don't have worry about it flying out every time you rip off a sheet.

2. You've been dispensing Tic Tacs the hard way.

You've been dispensing Tic Tacs the hard way.
You know how when you violently shake a container of Tic Tacs into your palm it seems as though you always end up with zero or seven? Avoid that altogether by letting a mint gently glide into the tiny lid crevice.

3. Forget to pack a spoon with that applesauce? No problem.

Ever find yourself with an individual cup of applesauce or yogurt and no spoon? Instead of slurping and probably getting half of your snack on your shirt, turn the foil lid into a makeshift spoon.
Obviously, don't try this if you've got a mouth full of metal fillings.

4. You've been storing peanut butter the wrong way.

You've been storing peanut butter the wrong way.
Never arm wrestle with a jar of peanut butter, just to make sure it’s not oily on top and crumby on the bottom, again. Store it upside down, so the oils distribute evenly.

5. You haven't been using ketchup cups to their full potential.

You haven't been using ketchup cups to their full potential.
Instead of grabbing multiple cups of ketchup, simply pull apart at the edges for twice the space.

6. You're probably using the wrong plunger.

You're probably using the wrong plunger.
This is easily the most recognizable plunger. Chances are you have one lying around the house. BUT, did you know it’s only meant to be used on clogged sinks?
http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/webdr06/2013/8/21/14/enhanced-buzz-26293-1377109013-33.jpg
To unclog a toilet, you need a flange plunger, which doesn't have a flat bottom.

7. Chinese takeout containers are actually made to fold out into plates.

Chinese takeout containers are actually made to fold out into plates.
The containers actually are meant to unfold into a makeshift plate, which you can easily reassemble into a box for storing leftovers.
More info here.

8. You're brushing with too much toothpaste.

You're brushing with too much toothpaste.
You only need to use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste for effective cleaning. Most ads feature globs of toothpaste the size of the brush because a.) it looks nice and b.) it makes you use up more toothpaste.

9. Greek yogurt containers are meant to be folded in half.

Greek yogurt containers are meant to be folded in half.
Chances are you've been scooping the toppings with your spoon onto the yogurt.
http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/webdr05/2013/8/21/16/enhanced-buzz-10879-1377115859-11.jpg
But, have you realized, the topping holder folds over, so you can pour the toppings DIRECTLY ON TOP?

10. You've probably been placing toilet seat covers in the wrong direction.

You've probably been placing toilet seat covers in the wrong direction.
The flap is meant to be placed toward the front. This prevents the agony of sitting down on a toilet seat, only to realize you've dragged the cover down into the bowl.

11. Soda tabs double as straw holders.

Soda tabs double as straw holders.
Turn the tab around so that it acts as holder that can stop the straw from raising out of the can as the soda fizzes.

12. There’s a foolproof way to keep your extension cords from coming undone.

There's a foolproof way to keep your extension cords from coming undone.
Plug the cords into a loop to avoid disconnection.

13. Pipe cleaners can be used to clean..ACTUAL PIPES.

Pipe cleaners can be used to clean..ACTUAL PIPES.
OK, sure, you can use them to make mess free crafts with your kids, but did you know you can also use them…

…for this.
Instructions here.

14. You've been serving juice boxes the wrong way.

You've been serving juice boxes the wrong way.
Pull the sides out so you child has something to grasp onto, stopping them from spilling.

15. Never break off more chocolate than you can chew again.

Never break off more chocolate than you can chew again.
To easily break off a single piece of Toblerone, pull toward the bar, not away from it.

16. You probably don't realize it, but your pots come with built-in spoon rests.

You probably don't realize it, but your pots come with built-in spoon rests.
That hanging hole doubles as a spoon rest, in a pinch.

17. There’s a much easier way to floss.

There's a much easier way to floss.
Tie floss into a loop and never strangle your fingers again.

18. Soft-drink lids can double as coasters.

Soft-drink lids can   double as coasters.
Take the lid from the top of cup (or grab an extra) and use it as a perfectly sized coaster.

Birds of a feather ... Thx Pidge F!


Just wanted to refresh your memory regarding the quality of the current WH administration.

Gee, who is that guy standing next to Hanoi Jane at an anti-war protest rally back in the 70’s???
Why it’s none other than our new "Secretary of State". Now isn't that SPECIAL???
