Is this place going to hell or what??.

Hi Joe:

Thank you for the e-mail you sent about the Lady Prime Minister in Australia. It was very interesting, that one I sent to a council person in our fair city.

This person was not happy about the “stance” or “rhetoric” of the Prime minister and asked me not to send any more forwards to her, oops I wasn’t going to say that, and give away the persons ID. A big no-no. oh, well I guess that’s makes me a lawyer too, I am trying to spell liar,??.

This person was once offended because the council “said the Lord’s Prayer” at the beginning of each session and she felt there was exclusion to people of marginal faith. Not some faith, no faith and in order to be” inclusive” she felt the Lord’s Prayer was not providing this feature.

After some discussion and public input, which was minimal the act was passed to “exclude” the Lord’s prayer from the council and have a minute of silent reflection. Soon, the singing of the national hymn will be??. “exclusive”. Is this place going to hell or what??.

Tell you what, I am going to go there some time and say the Lord’s Prayer out loud. I wonder if I would be called on that and given a” suspension” from the inclusive council’s reflection in time moment.

Since, I would be the only person doing this action, that would make a “exclusive act” of defiance to the councils wishes. Another, no-no???. Stay tuned, I think I have found a purpose in life.

Anyway Joe, such is life and as long as the mug-wumps continue to thrive , there will always be some kind of strive and people that will take an “exception” to the rule and fight it. Which is a good thing we don’t want any “exclusions” to the likes of the “inclusive”.

Being well educated does make you any better than the person with a mental disability as matter of fact the person with a disability has a better out look than the educated person. The disabled person sees it for what it is and deals with it and gives a so what attitude and its done.

The high brow beats their chest and moans and cries and makes you want to put them out of their misery. A purpose in life has been found. So, in order to spread this misery around they elect themselves to serve the public and we soon regret ever voting the clods into office. “Misery loves company”, now you know where that saying came from. Just, saying.!!.

Thanks,Joe, say hi to the misse's.





Yes, thats "exclusive"



I have a spare tire to fit a Mack truck!!

Hi Joe:
Just for the record please read the following before you go any further.

Summer officially kicks off today, with the summer solstice marking the longest day of the year on June 20, at least in the Northern Hemisphere. Yes, its July 16th. So what, write your own story.

This year's summer solstice takes place a day earlier than it's been for the past three years, due to the fact that leap year-day-February-29-calendar-cultures-science, 2012 is a leap year.

That will explain why my spring training has gone all to hell. I am trying to rejuvenate my self to the former glory I once was. Not that it matters but I need to explain it some how. Besides my age I am also fighting a friend called gravity. Its responsible for a lot of sagging parts, which I need to firm up.

Not a pretty picture is it. Don’t think anything other than loose fitting boxer shorts or else if you try to see a person in a swimmers Speedo, you will hurl your lunch. We now pause for that thought to work thru your system and wait to see if your food stays put. (30 seconds should be enough).

I have wanted to ride my “Beemer” for some time now and I need to get in shape to enjoy it more. This bike is meant for a younger body which will take the harsh ride and narrow seat. When I ride I am sure people must wonder why I have 2 sets of saddle bags on the bike. Serious rider with a lot of clothes?.

Walking and playing with the kids is low impact and not too bad, so I need to step it up a notch. I am using my son’s mountain bike with 18 gears in any fashion you want, from real slow to hard core. The seat is harder than the Beemer and it tests all my athletic parts, it needs a fatter seat, softer and wider-wider.

I went for a short ride and I was done, all body parts went on strike and I had to push the bike home for a block. I didn’t know so many parts could hurt at the same time. Going downhill is easy, up hill,.. not!!. To say I had an after glow after the pain went away would describe it right on the button.

Maybe a stationary bike and vibrating recliner would suit my purpose until I got up to speed. Too much hockey, malted beverages and those darn pepperettes. Man, tell you what I have a spare tire to fit a Mack truck. Time to lose that puppy.

All this exercise has made me tired, so bye for now Joe, its 9:30 am, in the cave and I hear my chair calling me. A short nap will help I am sure, unless the misses catches me and its over. Life is grand, ain’t it ?? .!!

Play Russian Roulette if you want to, but I'm done with buying foreign....

A friend sent this too me and asked to share.!

This is not only to save Canadian jobs it is to save ourselves and our nation as a whole from illness. Foreign production lines are not kept up to the same high standards we have here in Canadian and are far from clean.


Not to mention the horrible state of overseas water supplies. Don't they say when overseas or on vacation always drink bottled water? How do you really know the water used in most imported canned edibles is clean? You don't! Scary thought isn't it?

We had better get on the wagon and start reading labels. Not only do we already send enough money overseas as charity but do we really need to be sending more of our hard earned money when buying something that could possibly cause mass sickness across our beloved family, friends and countryside???? Think about it!

Play Russian Roulette if you want to, but I'm done with buying foreign....

This is TRULY worth reading and considering.....

All pickles with the Presidents Choice label and the No Name yellow label [Superstore] are made in India. Think about it, water from the Ganges River is used. Tell me if you think this sounds like a clean enough river!


The Ganges River and basin is the most heavily populated river basin in the world, with over 400 million people and a population density of about 1,000 inhabitants per square mile (390 /km2).


Exactly what I thought you would say!



Made in Canada

A physics teacher in high school, once told the students:

That while one grasshopper on the railroad tracks wouldn't

Slow a train very much, a billion of them would.

So, keep that thought in mind, read the following, obviously Written by a patriotic Canadian:



Shopping in Lowe's the other day for some reason and just for the fun of it I was looking at the garden

hose attachments,They were all made in China . The next day I was in Home Hardware and just for the fun of it I checked the hose attachments there.

They were made in Canada!


Start looking........



In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or do affects someone else - even their job.



A quote from a consumer: ...my grandson likes Hershey's candy. I noticed, though, that it is marked

made in Mexico now, instead of Smiths Falls , Ontario . I do not buy it any more.



My favourite toothpaste, Colgate, is made in Mexico now. I have switched to Crest.



You have to read the labels on everything.



This past weekend I was at Wal-Mart. I needed 60W light bulbs. I was in the light bulb

aisle, and right next to the GE brand I normally buy was an off-brand labeled, "Everyday Value". I picked up both

types of bulbs and compared the stats - they were the same except for the price. The GE bulbs were more money

than the Everyday Value brand but the thing that surprised me the most

was the fact that GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in - get

ready for this - Canada at a company in Ontario .



Their Equate Products are also made in Canada , and are very good.



Just to add my own experience on buying Made In Canada , I was looking for canned mushrooms

that were made in Canada and could never find any, so I would buy fresh.



But recently I found Ravine mushrooms - made in Canada with a little red maple leaf on the can. A

little more money but when I opened the can I looked at mushrooms that look

like real mushrooms, not a mushroom that looks like it was cleaned in bleach.



Another product I no longer buy is Del Monte or Dole canned fruit. Del Monte is packaged in

Taiwan and Dole is now a product of China .



Why should we pay for their fruit when our growers are left with fruit rotting on the trees. E.D.

Smith is still made in Canada .... buy theirs, at least you will know

what is in it and have some quality control.



So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that are made right here .



My challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for everyday things and see what you can find that is made In Canada .



The job you save may be your own or your

neighbor’s'! (Your children & grandchildren, also.)



If you accept this challenge, pass it on to others in your address book so we can all start

buying Canadian, one light bulb at a time! Stop buying from overseas companies!



(We should have awakened two decades ago.)

Let's get with the program. Help our fellow Canadians keep their jobs and create more jobs here in Canada .

If President Obama insists on a 'Made in America ' Policy, which is commendable of him, to

support American workers, we should do likewise.

 Read the labels. Support Canadian jobs.

BUY CANADIAN !

The older I get

Stop,and smell the roses!

The older I get, the more I enjoy Saturday mornings. Perhaps it's the quiet solitude that comes with being the first to rise, or maybe it's the unbounded joy of not having to be at work. Either, way, the first few hours of a Saturday morning is most enjoyable. A few weeks ago, I was shuffling toward the garage with a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and the morning paper in the other. What began as a typical Saturday morning turned into one of those lessons that life seems to hand you from time to time? Let me tell you about it:



I turned the dial up into the phone portion of the band on my, ham radio in order to listen to a Saturday morning swap net. Along the way, I came across an older sounding chap, with a tremendous signal and a golden voice. You know the kind; he sounded like he should be in the broadcasting business. He was telling whomever he was talking with something about "a thousand marbles."



I was intrigued and stopped to listen to what he had to say "Well, Tom, it sure sounds like you’re busy with your job. I'm sure they pay you well but it's a shame you have to be away from home and you’re Family so much. Hard to believe a young fellow should have to work sixty or seventy hours a week to make ends meet. It's too bad you missed your Daughter’s "dance recital" he continued. "Let me tell you something that has helped me keep my own priorities."



And that's when he began to explain his theory of a "thousand marbles." "You see, I sat down one day and did a little arithmetic. The average person lives about seventy-five years. I know, some live more and some live less, but on average, folks live about seventy-five years.



"Now then, I multiplied 75 times 52 and I came up with 3900, which is the number of Saturdays that the average person has in their entire Lifetime. Now, stick with me, Tom, I'm getting to the important part. It took me until I was fifty-five years old to think about all this in any detail", he went on, "and by that time I had lived through over twenty-eight hundred Saturdays."



"I got to thinking that if I lived to be seventy-five, I only had about a thousand of them left to enjoy. So I went to a toy store and bought every single marble they had. I ended up having to visit three toy stores to round up 1000 marbles. I took them home and put them inside a large, clear plastic container right here in the shack next to my gear."



"Every Saturday since then, I have taken one marble out and thrown it away. I found that by watching the marbles diminish, I focused more on the really important things in life. There is nothing like watching your time here on this earth run out to help get your priorities straight."



"Now let me tell you one last thing before I sign-off with you and take my lovely wife out for breakfast. This morning, I took the very last marble out of the container. I figure that if I make it until next Saturday then I have been given a little extra time. And the one thing we can all use is a little more time." "It was nice to meet you Tom, I hope you spend more time with your Family and I hope to meet you again here on the band.



This is a 75 year old man, K9NZQ, clear and going QRT, good morning!" You could have heard a pin drop on the band when this fellow signed off. I guess he gave us all a lot to think about. I had planned to work on the antenna that morning, and then I was going to meet up with a few hams to work on the next club newsletter.



Instead, I went upstairs and woke my wife up with a kiss. "C'mon honey, I'm taking you and the kids to breakfast" "What brought this on?" she asked with a smile. "Oh, nothing special, it's just been a long time since we spent a Saturday together with the kids. And hey, can we stop at a toy store while we're out? I need to buy some marbles.
