Well, the Christmas season is still with us and will be as far as we’re concerned until Jan. 6 — they don’t call it the 12 days of Christmas for nothing, you know, even we celebrate it for 13 — so we present this heartwarming father-daughter vignette.
The little girl had asked for a Frozen doll but got a valuable life lesson instead.
Here is a great link to way of keeping time concerning things that are important.

We confess we have not tested it.

Global warming has to be happening. Here it is November and they are surfing in Buffalo, N.Y.
Or just outside it. The water is Lake Erie and the actual location is Sunset Bay, N.Y.
The surfers are Kevin and Kristin and their safari occurred yesterday, Nov. 18. The video is not very long for some reason. There certainly isn’t a whole lot of shots of the pair in the water.

As I was driving around town this week, I found myself worrying about all the crap going on in Washington, London, Moscow, Ukraine, Algeria, Gaza etc. and how life was somewhat falling apart, then I saw a yard sign that said:
NEED HELP?
CALL JESUS
1-800-005-3787
Out of curiosity and desperation, I did.
A Mexican showed up with a lawnmower, rake and leaf blower.

The urine sample
One time I got sick and landed in hospital. There was this one nurse that just drove me crazy. Every time she came in, she would talk to me like I was a little child. She would say in a patronizing tone of voice, “And how are we doing this morning?”
Or “Are we ready for a bath?”
Or “Are we hungry?”
I had enough of this particular nurse.
One day at breakfast, I took the apple juice off the tray and put it in my bedside stand.
Later I was given a urine sample bottle to fill for testing.
So you know where the juice went!
The nurse came in a while later, picked up the urine sample bottle, looked at it and said, “My, my, it seems we are a little cloudy today.”
At this, I snatched the bottle out of her hand, popped off the top, and gulped it down, saying, “Well, I’ll run it through again. Maybe I can filter it better this time!”
The nurse fainted…
I just smiled.
DON’T MESS WITH OLD PEOPLE!
TRUE
Was Hillary Clinton fired from the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate investigations due to dishonesty i.e. being a “liar” i.e “an unethical, dishonest lawyer” who “conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the Committee , and the rules of confidentiality” according to her then boss life-long Democrat Jerry Zeifman?
The below is being sent around the internet:
Is it true? Well Snopes.com — the protector of Democrats and self-proclaimed debunker of the World Wide Web — says no.
It sounds to us, though, that they are grasping at straws.
Zeifman was really who he said he was— as even Snopes admits– and he really did supervise Mrs. Clinton, and judging by the reader reviews, the book he wrote about Mrs. Clinton certainly indicates he had a rather low opinion of her integrity and regard for legal due process.
Here’s the Dan Calabrese column on the matter. Note, he points out that Mrs. Clinton was fired after the investigation ended.
We’ll have to judge this one as true.

This Off The Internet — Conundrum Defined With Examples — is courtesy of Cathy Craddock
Free people are not equal. Equal people are not free.
The definition of the word Conundrum is: something that is puzzling or confusing.
Here are six Conundrums of socialism in the United States of America:
1. America is capitalist and greedy – yet half of the population is subsidized.
2. Half of the population is subsidized – yet they think they are victims.
3. They think they are victims – yet their representatives run the government.
4. Their representatives run the government – yet the poor keep getting poorer.
5. The poor keep getting poorer – yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.
6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about – yet they want America to be more like those other countries.
Think about it! And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century.
********************************
These three, short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of the current U.S. government and cultural environment:
1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. (makes sense don’t it?)
Funny how that works. And here’s another one worth considering…
2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. But we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money? What’s interesting is the first group “worked for” their money, but the second didn’t.
Think about it…..and Last but not least,
3. Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our military and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII, but we are not stopping the payments or benefits to illegal aliens!!
Am I the only one missing something?
