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.

A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part.

Sounds like a good idea.





I haven't tried this nor did I look it up on XXXXX. Just passing it along as I received it.











You may have already seen this, but it seems to be valuable info, I am SO impressed by this...looks awesome!!!



My experience with burns is this:



Once I was cooking some corn and stuck my fork in the boiling water to see if the corn was ready. I missed and my hand went into the boiling water...



A friend of mine, who was a Vietnam vet, came into the house, just as I was screaming, and asked me if I had some plain old flour...I pulled out a bag and he stuck my hand in it. He said to keep my hand in the flour for 10 mins. which I did. He said that in Vietnam, this guy was on fire and in their panic, they threw a bag of flour all over him to put the fire out...well, it not only put the flour out, but he never even had a blister!!!!



SOOOO, long story short, I put my hand in the bag of flour for 10 mins, pulled it out and had not even a red mark or a blister and absolutley NO PAIN. Now, I keep a bag of flour in the fridge and every time I burn myself, I use the flour and never ONCE have I ever had a red spot, a burn or a blister!

*cold flour feels even better than room temperature flour.



Miracle, if you ask me. Keep a bag of white flour in your fridge and you will be happy you did. I even burnt my tongue and put the flour on it for about 10 mins. and the pain was gone and no burn. Try it! BTW, don't run your burn area under cold water first, just put it right into the flour for 10 mins and experience a miracle!

Competition

I am a from a blue collar family.  But, we are now living in a post-industrial nation without the oil wealth of the arabs.  And many of our leaders are green and don't know how to make our energy resources competitive.  Wake up, America!  We have a vast energy bureaucracy in our government but dwindling energy supplies of our own.  Alas, can we correct the wasted efforts of socialism?  We must in my honest opinion.

A dedicated Teamsters union official was attending a convention in Las Vegas and decided to check out the local brothels. When he got to the first one, he asked the Madam, "Is this a union house?"




"No," she replied, "I'm sorry it isn't."



"Well, if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"



"The house gets $80 and the girls get $20,'"she answered.



Offended at such unfair dealings, the union man stomped off down the street in search of a more equitable, hopefully unionized shop. His search continued until finally he reached a brothel where the Madam responded, "Why yes sir, this is a union house. We observe all union rules."



The man asked, "And, if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"





"The girls get $80 and the house gets $20."



"That's more like it!" the union man said.



He handed the Madam $100, looked around the room, and pointed to a stunningly attractive green-eyed blonde.





"I'd like her," he said.



"I'm sure you would, sir," said the Madam. Then she gestured to a 92-year old woman in the corner,"but Ethel here has 67 years seniority and according to union rules, she's next.'"





Now you know what's wrong with the AUTO INDUSTRY, our EDUCATION SYSTEM and GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE UNIONS and the seniority system in the HOUSE and SENATE
