***HAPPY BIRTHDAY WOODY***


JULY 14, 2012


MY BLOG WILL NOT BE SHORT ANYMORE. I AM GOING BACK TO MY ORIGINAL OUTLINE FINALLY, AFTER 5 YEAR'S AND OVER 1,100 POST'S. HOPE YESTERDAY WAS SAFE FOR YOU ALL, AND HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY WOODY.


PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:



I am in the process of designing my own “for profit” business. “WALLY'S LIST”, and I did try to get in touch with Good Friend and W.O.W. Woman Liz Schuler on face book to make sure I get it right.



I am still working on correcting mistakes, not all of these are mine you know!



IT STILL APPEARS I NEED AN ELECTRICIAN AS THE POWER IN THE KITCHEN WENT AWAY AGAIN :-( .



I awoke this morning at 5:45am to a 3, after 8+- hours of decent sleep. My B.P. was 139/86/66 at 6:50am. I did take my pills at 6:15am, including my new Wellbutrin, 21 day's so far. I know there are side effect's, but I am getting concerned I am going crazy, and getting more depressed, maybe it's not just the pills ?


POLITICAL:


I DID WATCH THE CIRCUS ON THE 11TH, ON THE HEALTH CARE DEBATE, AND MAYBE IT'S JUST ME; BUT I DON'T THINK THERE WAS A REAL CHRISTIAN ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE OF THE ISLE. THEY ALSO COMMENTED ON THE “BLUE DOG” DEMOCRAT'S VOTING WITH THE REPUBLICANS, I HAVE A NEW NAME FOR THEM, “YELLOW DOG” DEMOCRAT'S; TOTAL FEAR OF THE KOCH BROTHER'S !

I must also say we have much to do before the November elections, but I will also say, as a life-long Democrat; it does appear we will have a real coordinated campaign this year. THANK YOU ASHLEY.

I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, especially for sister Danni; and thank you all for Rhyon, Christopher, cousin Amy, cousin Brandee and soon, nephew Rhett..

“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”
Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life

You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.

My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephews Steve & Daniel, cousin Dennis, sister Mary and Aunt Mary and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon, Brandee, Amy and Rhett, and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”

Is it wrong to expect of others, what they expect of you ? When does a mistake become a lie? How many times to you have to bang your head against the wall before you realize all your going to get is a massive headache? After going back over those 1,100+ blogs, and reading most of the comments, and needing to get back to my book; I think I may try a little poetry. I did e mail both Greg and Cory to see if those oral histories might be complete before the family arrives from Montana next Month.

I PICKED UP A BOOK A FEW WEEKS AGO AT THE CHURCH LIBRARY, “BECOMMING MORE LIKE CHRIST”, it is a basic guide to daily prayer and meditation and it has been uncanny in the assistance it has given me almost daily. I think all those, so called, Christians in congress could use a copy !

I BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST WAS THE FIRST “TRUE” COMMUNIST, BECAUSE I BELIEVE HE WAS THE FIRST TO SAY; EVERYTHING “BELONGS” TO EVERYONE. In that same vain does that not include healthcare?

AND I ALSO BELIEVE THAT IT WAS WOODY GUTHRIE THAT ACTUALLY WROTE “GOD BLESS AMERICA”, ONLY IN HIS VERSION IT WAS GOD BLESSED AMERICA. HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY WOODY, LET'S ALL THROW A PARTY FOR AN EARLY 99%' ER, I MAY BE WRONG BUT THE FIRST MIGHT HAVE BEEN A REPUBLICAN, BY THE NAME OF TEDDY ROOSEVELT; THE “TRUST BUSTER”, ALSO AN EARLY PROPONENT OF HEALTH CARE FOR ALL, HE IS PROBABLY ROLLING OVER IN HIS GRAVE RIGHT NOW !

IN HONOR OF WOODY AND HIS 100TH BIRTHDAY TODAY.

GOD BLESSED AMERICA BY WOODY GUTHRIE


THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND, THIS LAND IS MY LAND;

FROM CALIFORNIA, TO THE NEW YORK ISLAND;

FROM THE REDWOOD FORESTS, TO THE GULF STREAM WATERS;

THIS LAND WAS MADE FOR YOU AND ME.


AS I WAS WALKING, A RIBBON OF HIGHWAY;

I SAW ABOVE ME, AN ENDLESS SKY WAY;

I SAW BELOW ME, A GOLDEN VALLEY;

THIS LAND WAS MADE FOR YOU AND ME.


I'VE ROAMED AND RAMBLED, AND I'VE FOLLOWED MY FOOTSTEPS;

TO THE SPARKLING SANDS, OF HER DIAMOND DESERTS;

AND ALL AROUND ME, A VOICE WAS SOUNDING;

THIS LAND WAS MADE FOR YOU AND ME.


THE SUN COMES SHINING, AS I WAS STROLLING;

THE WHEAT FIELDS WAVING, AND THE DUST CLOUDS ROLLING;

THE FOG WAS LIFTING, A VOICE CAME CHANTING;

THIS LAND WAS MADE FOR YOU AND ME.


AS I WAS WALKING, I SAW A SIGN THERE;

AND THAT SIGN SAID, NO TRESPASSING,

BUT ON THE ON THE OTHER SIDE, IT DIDN'T SAY NOTHING;

NOW THAT SIGN, WAS MADE FOR YOU AND ME;


IN THE SQUARES OF THE CITY, IN THE SHADOW OF THE STEEPLE;

NEAR THE RELIEF OFFICE, I SAW MY PEOPLE;

AND SOME WERE GRUMBLING, AND SOME WERE WONDERING;

IS THIS LAND, STILL MADE FOR YOU AND ME ?


ARE “ALL” WOMEN & UNION MEMBERS THAT ARE REPUBLICANS JUST STUPID ?”
(rhetorical question), THAT MEANS, I KNOW THE ANSWER.


COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS & CHARITIES:


The American Rights at Work still needs help; now more than ever. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue, The President?, and our two Senators haven't; E.F.C.A. And based on what I have been seeing and hearing, the Republicans have Organized Labor directly in their cross hairs.

The Local 290 “DON SALEE” Member Assistance Program; and you can even make a donation through the U.A. Credit Union, and we will be doing a “BULL SESSION” drawing at the Union meeting's to help raise $ for them and I have sent in my 1st installment for me, and I sure hope we get some good weather so I can actually attend with an official, established handicap.




UNION REPORT:



I DON'T KNOW IF SISTER PATRICIA LOPEZ READS THE BLOG BUT I DID GET AN EARLY MORNING EMAIL FROM HER WITH A WONDERFUL JOHN LENNON TRACK.



I REALLY ENVY JODI FROM THE C.P.B.T., SHE WILL BE IN NEW JERSEY TODAY ON WOODY'S BIRTHDAY, AND WITH “THE BOSS” BEING SUCH A FAN I AM SURE THERE WILL BE SOMETHING GOING ON.


I did find out from Barbara Smith Warner at Building Trades that Senator Wyden will be in State most of August; it maybe a good time to invite him to the Hall.


We need to remember Brother Jimmy Walters, Brother Bill Edens (who looked pretty good at the retiree meeting); and Brother Sonny Newsom who are recovering from surgeries and Brother Jim Zettlow who is fighting Mesothelioma, and brother Dennis Hutzenbieler who is doing well and heading off to a wedding in Anaconda, for speedy and successful recoveries so please add them to your prayers, and the family of Brother Jack Sundstrom.




SPORTS:



I AM MORE OF AN AMERICAN LEAGUE FAN, ORIOLES & MARINERS, BUT I MUST SAY THE NATIONAL LEAGUE WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE WITH THAT ALL STAR WIN.



IT IS TOUGH BEING A MARINERS FAN, THEY PICKED UP YESTERDAY RIGHT WHERE THEY LEFT OF BEFORE THE ALL-STAR BREAK; LOSING !



FAMILY & AOH REPORT :



BROTHER MARTY IS IN S. CALIFORNIA TO VISIT WITH SON MICHAEL & CHRISTOPHER AND HIS NEW GRAND DAUGHTER, I HAD MY PHONE OFF UNTIL I GOT UP THIS MORNING AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON I GOT MORE PICTURES, I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYONE WAS UP THIS EARLY, OR THE MESSAGES JUST CAUGHT UP WITH ME ?



I DID HAVE A NICE TALK WITH LARRY PAHUT AND HE FILLED ME IN ON HIS DAUGHTERS AMY AND BRANDEE, AND THAT THEY ARE BOTH GETTING READY FOR DEPLOYMENT, ONE TO JAPAN AND ONE TO KUWAIT, GOD BLESS AND PROTECT THEM.



I AM OFFICIALLY AN OLD PERSON, “GREY PANTHER, 62” ON JULY 28TH, I CAN TELL BECAUSE I AM REALLY GETTING GRUMPY, BUT IF YOU DARE; WE ARE HAVING A GATHERING HERE FROM NOON TO 4PM. GONNA MISS BOBBIE AND DENNIS THOUGH AS THEY HAVE A WEDDING TO GO TO.



WE DID RECEIVE THE THE INVITATION FOR THE SHOWER/BBQ FOR ANDREW AND KARA IN THE MAIL YESTERDAY FOR AUGUST 11TH AT THE VANCOUVER ESTATE OF ROBERTA AND DENNIS HUTZENBIELER.



ALSO, THERE IS A “SUMMER PICNIC” FOR GRADUATES, FAMILY AND FRIEND'S OF CARROLL COLLEGE HERE IN PORTLAND ON JULY 16TH AT MT. TABOR PARK (SE 60TH AND SALMON ST.) 6PM. I DID CALL UNCLE HANK AND HE SUGGESTED I LOOK FOR A SULLIVAN. WITH UNCLE HANK IN THE CARROLL, “HALL OF FAME”; AND I AM GOING TO TRY TO MAKE IT.



CONGRATULATIONS COUSIN JOE MEHRENS FOR BEING INDUCTED INTO THE ANACONDA HIGH SCHOOL HALL OF FAME :-) !I SILL NEED TO GET A SURVEY PROGRAM SET UP TO TRACK FIRST NAMES.



It still appears I am one of the few “followers” on most of my blogs !



Bobbie, my blog is 5 Pages but just 1,700+- words.
