***NEW JERSEY SHOULD BE A GREAT PLACE TO BE ON WOODY GUTHRIE'S 100TH BIRTHDAY***


JULY 11, 2012

MY BLOG IS SHORT AGAIN TODAY, AS I AM UP REALLY EARLY TO WATCH THE CIRCUS ON C-SPAN OVER HEALTH CARE.



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 ELECTRICTAN AS THE POWER IN THE KITCHEN WENT AWAY AGAIN :-( .

I awoke this morning at 6am to a 3, after 8+- hours of sleep. My B.P. Is 154/68/58 at 6:30am. I will take my pills by 7am, including my new Wellbutrin, 18 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:

THE SUPREME COURT RULED THAT THE “OBAMA CARE” MANDATE WAS CONSTITUTIONAL !! BUT THE R'S ARE STILL GOING AFTER IT, TODAY BIG TIME IN THE HOUSE. WHO WAS IT THAT SAID “IT IS EASIER FOR A CAMEL TO PASS THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE THAN A RICH MAN TO GET TO HEAVEN”?

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.

PHILOSOPHY:


MY “PHILOSOPHIZING” STARTS RIGHT HERE.

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, Amy, Brandee 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?

I PICKED UP A BOOK A FEW WEEKS AGO AT THE CHURCH LIBRARY, “BECOMING 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 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. HIS 100TH BIRTHDAY IS COMING UP JULY 14TH, 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” !.

IN HONOR OF WOODY AND HIS 100TH BIRTHDAY JULY 14TH. LESS THAN A WEEK. .

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)


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 REALLY ENVY JODI FROM THE C.P.B.T., SHE WILL BE IN NEW JERSEY ON WOODY'S BIRTHDAY, AND WITH “THE BOSS” BEING SUCH A FAN I AM SURE THERE WILL BE SOMETHING GOING ON, AFTER ALL IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WOODY'S 100TH BIRTHDAY !


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.



FAMILY REPORT:



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



I AM OFFICIALLY AN OLD PERSON, “GREY PANTHER, 62” ON JULY 28TH, WE ARE HAVING A GATHERING HERE FROM NOON TO 4PM. GONNA MISS BOBBIE AND DENNIS THOUGH AS THEY HAVE A WEDDING TO GO TO.



I have also been told that Kara's wedding shower invitations should be in the mail soon, but I also spoke with Bobbie and they may just be by e mail, set the date; August 11th at the Hutzenbieler Estate in Vancouver.



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.



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 4 Pages and 1,500+- words.
