Subject: Zip Lock Bags !! Fly control !!!


We went with some out of town friends to Sweety Pies on Sunday for breakfast, and we sat in the enclosed patio section beside the house. We happened to notice a couple of zip lock baggies pinned to a post and a wall. The bags were half filled with water, each contained 4 pennies, and they were zipped shut. Naturally we were curious! Ms Sweety told us that these baggies kept the flies away! So naturally we were even more curious! We actually watched some flies come in the open window, stand around on the window sill, and then fly out again. And there were no flies in the eating area! This morning I checked this out on Google. Below are comments on this fly control idea. I'm now a believer! More comments not included here were about pet dogs and fly problems.

Zip-lock water bags
Sue says:
Many people swear that a zip-lock bag filled half-way with water and attached over entry-ways will repel flies. No one yet knows how or why it works, but there is speculation that it has something to do with the way the moving water refracts light. If you have tried this please use the comments form at the bottom of the page to share your results with the rest of us.

October 5th, 2008 at 5:51 pm I tried the ziplock bag and pennies this weekend. I have a horse trailer with full LQ. The flys were very bad this weekend while I was camping. I put the baggie with pennies above the door of the LQ. NOT ONE FLY came in the trailer. The horse trailer part had many. Not sure why it works but it does!!!!!!!

Fill a ziplock bag with water and 5 or 6 pennies and hang it in the problem area. In my case it was a particular window in my home. It had a slight but significant passage way for insects.Every since I have done that, it has kept flies and wasps away. Some say, that wasps and flies mistake the bag for some sort of other insect nest and are threatened by this.

I swear by the plastic bag of water trick I have them on side porch ( our house entry) and all around the basement door. We saw these in Northeast Mo at an Amish grocery store & have used them since. They say it works because a fly sees a reflection & won't come around.

Regarding the science behind zip log bags of water? My research found that each of the millions of molecules of water presents its own prism effect and given that flies have a lot of eyes, to them it's like a zillion disco balls reflecting light, colors and movement in a dizzying manner. When you figure that flies are basically prey for many other bugs, animals, birds, etc., they simply won't take the risk of being around that much perceived action. I moved to a rural area ant thought these "hillbillies" were just yanking my city boy chain but I tried it, worked immediately! We went from hundreds of flies to seeing the occasional one, but he don't hang around long.

Patricia Richards Whitehead,

I have not seen you since high school (PHS 1950), but I know that your life has been richly blessed.

Thanks for sharing this nugget of wisdom.

BURNED BISCUITS

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass…
It's about learning to dance in the rain.

When I was a little child, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work.

On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school.

I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that biscuit and eat every bite!
When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I'll never forget what he said: “Baby, I love burned biscuits.”

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, “Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides, a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!”

You know, life is full of imperfect things.....and imperfect people. I'm not the best housekeeper or cook. What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's faults - and choosing to celebrate each other's differences - is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing and lasting relationship.

CASH FOR CLUNKERS..........I QUALIFY CASH FOR CLUNKERS..........I QUALIFY

IF MY BODY WERE A CAR...

If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading
it in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my
finish, and my paint job is getting a little dull. But that's not the
worst of it. My headlights are out of focus, and it's especially hard to
see things up close.

My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid
and bump into things even in the best of weather.

My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins. It takes me hours to reach
my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently.

But here's the worst of it --


Almost every time I sneeze, cough or laugh, either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires.


CASH FOR CLUNKERS..........I QUALIFY - How about You?

Are you having a bad day...

Thanks Lyle and Martha Shover!

Things Got Ya Down?
Well Then,
Consider These . .
..

In
a hospital's Intensive Care Unit, patients always died in the same bed,
on Sunday morning, at about 11:00 am,
regardless of their medical condition. This puzzled the doctors and some
even thought it had something to do with the super natural. No one could
solve the mystery as to why the deaths occurred around
11:00 AM
Sunday, so a worldwide team of experts was assembled to investigate the
cause of the incidents. The next Sunday
morning, a few minutes before 11:00 AM all of the doctors and nurses nervously waited
outside the ward to see for themselves what the terrible phenomenon was
all about. Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer books, and other
holy objects to ward off the evil
spirits. Just when the clock struck 11:00 ,
Pookie Johnson, the part-time Sunday sweeper , entered the ward and
unplugged the life support system so he could use the vacuum
cleaner.


Still
Having a Bad Day????

The
average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez Oil spill
in Alaska was
$80,000.00. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved
animals were being released back into the wild amid cheers and applause
from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them
both.

Still think
you are having a Bad Day????

A woman came home to find
her husband in the kitchen shaking frantically, almost in a dancing
frenzy, with some kind of wire running from his waist towards the
electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current, she
whacked him with a handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two places.
Up to that moment, he had been happily listening to his
Walkman.

Are Ya OK
Now? - No?

Two
animal rights defenders were protesting the cruelty of sending pigs to a
slaughterhouse in Bonn , Germany .
Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke loose and escaped through a broken
fence, stampeding madly. The two helpless protesters were trampled to
death.

What?!?
STILL having a Bad Day????

Iraqi terrorist Khay
Rahnajet didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb. It came back
with 'Return to Sender' stamped
on it. Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits.


There now,
Feeling Better?

Asking Service men to pay pay health insurance

I do recall that the Administration discussed a plan earlier this year
that would have resulted in private insurance paying for some
service-connected injuries. I do not know if the quote is accurate.

WHAT A SELFISH ...............





...but remember....before he became THE most powerful man in the
world with the largest and most deadly military arsenal ever known to
man at his disposal...he WAS a "community organizer"!!!





Whether you served in the military or not is not an issue. The
point is, is this the kind of SOB you want for the president of the USA?





PRESIDENT OBAMA

HERE IS HIS RESPONSE WHEN HE BACKED OFF FROM HIS DECISION TO LET THE
MILITARY PAY FOR THEIR WAR INJURIES. WHAT AN EMPTY HEADED PERSON HE
MUST BE. SEND THIS TO EVERYONE TO SHOW JUST WHAT HE THINKS OF OUR
MILITARY WHO FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY AND GET HURT PROTECTING OUR
FREEDOM!!!

Bad press, including major mockery of the plan by comedian Jon Stewart,
led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to require veterans carry
private health insurance to cover the estimated $540 million annual cost
to the federal government of treatment for injuries to military
personnel received during their tours on active duty. The President
admitted that he was puzzled by the magnitude of the opposition to his
proposal.

"Look, it's an all volunteer force," Obama complained. "Nobody made
these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now
they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn't compute."
"I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their
country," Obama continued. "I wasn't asking for blood, just money.
With the country facing the worst financial crisis in its history, I'd
have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help
reduce the nation's deficit. I guess I underestimated the selfishness of
some of my fellow Americans."

These are not my quotes . . . . . please excuse some of the language .

Shockingly astonishing! Can you believe this...

We must believe all of this because it is happening, Alma. Osama is a lot smarter than his lackey obama and the plan is so clever. Even if he is dead, his plan is perfectly in place. It is much more diabolical than the Twin Towers destruction. We are deeply into a dictatorship and the demolefts could not be happier. The left won the election. Whoopee!

God, please bless America with strength to overcome this devil.

Subject: C'mon, that will never happen i




What would you say if I gave you 11 reasons why the elections in 2012 will be the most important in the history of the United States ?
1. What if I had told you in October 2008, before the last presidential election, that before Barack Obama's first 100 days in office, the federal government would be in control of both the mortgage and the banking industries? That 19 of Americas largest banks would be forced to undergo stress tests by the federal government which would determine if they were insufficiently capitalized, so they must be supervised by the government? Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America ."

2. What if I had told you that within Barack Obama's first 100 days in office the federal government would be the largest shareholder in the U.S. automakers: GM and Chrysler? That the government would kick out the CEO's of these companies and appoint hand-picked executives with zero experience in the auto industry and that executive compensation would be determined, not by a Board of Directors, but by the government? Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America ."

3. What if I had told you that Barack Obama would appoint 21 Czars, now
(33) without congressional approval, (which is needed) accountable only to him, not to the voters, who would have control over a wide range of US policy decisions. That there would be a Stimulus Accountability Czar, an Urban Czar, a Compensation Czar, an Iran Czar, an Auto Industry Czar, a Cyber Security Czar, an Energy Czar, a Bank Bailout Czar, and more than a dozen other government bureaucrats with unchecked regulatory powers over US domestic and foreign policy. Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America ."
4. What if I had told you that the federal deficit would be $915 billion in the first six months of the Obama presidency - with a projected annual deficit of $1.75 trillion - triple the $454.8 billion in 2008, for which the previous administration was highly criticized by Obama and his fellow Democrats. That congress would pass Obama's $3.53 trillion federal budget for fiscal 2010. That the projected deficit over the next ten years would be greater than $10 trillion. Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America ."

5. What if I had told you that the Obama Justice Department would order FBI agents to read Miranda rights to high-value detainees captured on the battlefield and held at US military detention facilities in Afghanistan . That Obama would order the closing of the Guantanamo detention facility with no plan for the disposition of the 200-plus individuals held there. That several of the suspected terrorists at Guantanamo would be sent to live in freedom in Bermuda at the expense of the US government. That our returning U.S. Veterans would be labeled terrorists and put on a watch list. Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America ."

6. What if I had told you that the federal government would seek powers to seize key companies whose failures could jeopardize the financial system. That a new regulatory agency would be proposed by Obama to control loans, credit cards, mortgage-backed securities, and other financial products offered to the public. Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America ."
7. What if I had told you that Obama would travel to the Middle East, bow before the Saudi king, and repeatedly apologize for America's past actions. That he would travel to Latin America where he would warmly greet Venezuela's strongman Hugo Chavez and sit passively in the audience while Nicaraguan Marxist thug Daniel Ortega charged America with terrorist aggression in Central America. Would you have said, "C'mon, that will never happen in America ."

8. Okay, now what if I were to tell you that Obama wants to dismantle conservative talk radio through the imposition of a new "Fairness Doctrine." That he wants to curtail the First Amendment rights of those who may disagree with his policies via internet blogs, cable news networks, or advocacy ads... That most major network television and most newspapers will only sing his praises like the state-run media in communist countries? Would you say, "C'mon, that will never happen in America ."

9. What if I were to tell you that the Obama Justice Department is doing everything it can to limit your Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms. That the federal government wants to reinstate the so-called assault weapons ban which would prohibit the sale of any type of firearm that requires the shooter to pull the trigger every time a round is fired. That Obama's Attorney General wants to eliminate the sale of virtually all handguns and ammunition, which most citizens choose for self-defense. Would you say, "C'mon, that will never happen in America ."
10. What if I were to tell you that the Obama plan is to eliminate states rights guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment and give the federal government sweeping new powers over policies currently under the province of local and state governments and voted on by the people. That Obama plans to control the schools, energy, production, the environment, health care, and the wealth of every U. S. citizen. Would you say, "C'mon, that will never happen in America ."
11. What if I were to tell you that the president, the courts, and the federal government have ignored the US Constitution and have seized powers which the founders of our country fought to restrict. That our last presidential election may have been our last truly free election for some time to come. That our next presidential election may look similar to the one recently held in Iran . (And maybe under review by ACORN.) I know what you will say. That will never happen in America.

If we don't do everything in our power to stop this madness in 2012, may GOD have mercy on our souls. Do you believe it now!!!??

The Aisle Seat



Two Radical Arab Terrorists boarded a flight out of London . One took a window seat and the other sat next to him in the middle seat... Just before takeoff, a U.S. Marine sat down in the aisle seat..



After takeoff, the Marine kicked his shoes off, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Arab in the window seat said, 'I need to get up and get a coke.'



'Don't get up,' said the Marine, 'I'm in the aisle seat, 'I'll get it for you.'



As soon as he left, one of the Arabs picked up the Marine's shoe and spat in it. When the Marine returned with the coke, the other Arab said, 'That looks good, I'd really like one, too.' Again, the Marine obligingly went to fetch it. While he was gone the other Arab picked up the Marine's other shoe and spat in it. When the Marine returned, they all sat back and enjoyed the flight.



As the plane was landing, the Marine slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened. He leaned over and asked his Arab neighbors... 'Why does it have to be this way?' 'How long must this go on? This fighting between our nations? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes and pissing in cokes?'







THE FEW. THE PROUD. THE MARINES
