AUGUST 19, 2012
I slept really late today again and awoke at 8:30am, and awoke to a 2-, after 8+- hours of sleep. I didn't take my am pills (11) until almost 8:40am, I took my energy drink at about 10am. I am was going to lunch with the Judi & the “girls” but I changed my mind. Heidi and Mike are back in town, as Mike's dad passed away (God rest his Soul) and they are making arrangement's, so Judi, Danni, Heidi and maybe Kelly are going to lunch; I was invited but I think I will pass. I took my at 10am and it was 164/92/74. (I really love all things electronic, NOT!), as I missed the alarm on my clock this morning, which is why I didn't wake up until 830am. I am still trying to make some major changes, but I didn't make it to the cricket store before Mass and explain my constant travails). And as you can see already; PROPAGANDA OUT, PHILOSOPHY IN. I think loosening up the new Velcro on my brace is working so good that it helps me get to the 2's, because I did a lot of walking yesterday.
I have given up on that “Union for profit Web site”. I did get a face book message from Liz and it sounded like she was having a blast in Philadelphia.
I am still working on correcting mistakes, AND NOT ALL OF THESE ARE MINE YOU KNOW!
IT STILL APPEARS I NEED AN ELECTRICIAN AS THE POWER IN THE KITCHEN IS STILL GONE :-( .
POLITICAL:
I watched Bob Sheifer on face the
nation this morning, and he had a guest and they did a report on the
“invisible” money involved in the elections; and how it is going
to be really bad come November. He did say he will be televising
next week from the Republican Convention, I'm wondering if he is also
going to be a delegate. His guest was from that “independent”
reporting organization called “Republico”....hmmn?
They have been “announcing” that
Ro-Money, has chosen Paul Ryan as his running mate, that hurts me on
at least 2 level's; one, that he claims to be “Irish” and two he
claims to be “Catholic”.
We did get our report from the
P.A.C. Committee I missed Monday night and ALL their recommendations
were concurred with, and I will be reporting on them individually on
upcoming blogs.
I did see a couple of reports from
Tax professionals that did show how Ro-money might possibly NOT have
paid any federal income tax for the last several years. Go get'em
Senator Reid !
I did get an e mail from Senator
Merkley that he has introduced a bill that would get Home Mortgages
interest rates down to 4%, but he also knows that the Republican
controlled house will be holding it hostage until Millionaires get a
tax break for all they earn over $250,000, as soon as I get a bill
number I will report on it here.
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, and from what everyone is
saying, we better. THANK YOU ASHLEY.
You can view the details of any event by going to: https://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/gps2mb !
I also received a
fundraiser letter from Congressman Schrader and I will put his e mail
address in here so you can help fight the “Rove Billions” ! And
sign his petition to get us out of Afghanistan.
Philosophy:
No matter how bad you
think things are for you, it pains me to say it, but; it's worse for
many others.
IF WE CONTINUE TO BUY IMPORTS, WHERE
WILL OUR CHILDREN WORK? That would make a great bumper sticker. I
think I'll call Derise at Hollywood Impress and get a cost per and
maybe they can be used as a fund raising tool for the M.A.P.?
I will put the prayers I
have been posting again right here up front again, especially for
sister Danni, Uncle Hank and now brother Gil.
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, Uncle Hank, brother Gil and those who are
having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon, Brandee, Amy and
Rhett, and all in need, and the repose of the souls of cousin Dan
Monahan's sister-in-law, Patricia, Nephew-in-law Mike Schostek's dad
and Brother Brian Zettlow's dad. 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.”
I did return the book to 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 still think all those, so called,
Christians in congress, especially V.P. Candidate Paul Ryan; could
use a copy of that book!
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, doesn't that include healthcare?
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 and picking Paul Ryan means they are locked and loaded.
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 did send in my 1st installment, but I am relatively sure I will not be able to play in tournament.
UNION REPORT:
IT WAS A VERY GOOD MEETING FRIDAY NIGHT, BUT WE DID MISS OUR VICE PRESIDENT AND PRESIDENT, BUT THEIR REPLACEMENT'S DID A SUPERB JOB, CONSIDERING THE LAST MINUTE SCRAMBLING THAT HAD TO BE DONE.
AND IF YOU DIDN'T READ THE LAST MAILING FROM THE LOCAL, THEY ARE STILL LOOKING FOR A WELD SHOP FOREMAN, AND I MUST SAY, I AGREED WITH BROTHER DON CARTER THAT MAYBE PUTTING A FEW MORE HOURS ON THE CHECK MAY HELP. ALSO MAYBE GETTING SOME OF THOSE AFOREMENTIONED BUMPER STICKERS COULD BE A “PAC OR M.A.P.?” FUNDRAISER.
BROTHER JEFF LYLES DID GET ON MY BLOG, AND I DID PUT THE LINK TO HIS PETITION IN HERE (Will you sign his petition? Click here to add your name; I did:http://signon.org/sign/people-on-social-security?source=c.fwd&r_by=1761362
Thanks! Jeff
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 a prayer for Brother Jim Zettlow who lost his battle with Mesothelioma, and brothers Dennis Hutzenbieler and brother Gil Freeland for their speedy and successful recoveries; so please add them to your prayers, and the families of Brothers Jack Sundstrom and Jim Zettlow.
SPORTS:
THE OLYMPICS STARTED AND WE HAD ONE OF OUR OWN, AN OREGONIAN GOLD MEDALIST; LEADING THE U.S.A. DELEGATION. U.S.A. U.S.A. ALSO I THINK candidate ro-money got the President a few more votes at the opening ceremony, and I think they agreed on Face The Nation this morning; and why do you suppose all those liberal TV and radio personalities love to bring up the fact that England, France, Germany and most of the rest of the enlightened world has free health care but forget to tell people they also have government's that SUPPORT unions, could one be tied to the other ?
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 STILL REALLY NEED SOME RUN SUPPORT, AND IT SURE WILL BE HARDER NOW THAT THE YANKEE'S HAVE STOLEN ICHIRO, even with that perfect game picture Felix !
FAMILY & A.O.H. REPORT :
LUNCH WITH THE FAMILY TODAY WAS GREAT AT THE OLIVE GARDERN, which is why the late post.
OUR CONDOLENCES TO NEPHEW-IN-LAW MIKE SCHOSTEK ON THE LOSS OF HIS FATHER, AND THE FAMILY OF COUSIN DAN MONAHAN ON THE LOSS OF HIS SISTER-IN-LAW, PATRICIA MONAHAN.
DANIEL'S NATIONAL GUARD HOLLOWEEN PARTY, KARA'S WEDDING AND LACEY'S BIRTHDAY'S ARE COMING UP, busy next couple weeks.
WE FOUND OUT AT KARA'S WEDDING SHOWER UNCLE HANK IS NOT DOING SO WELL:-( SO PLEASE KEEP HIM IN YOUR PRAYERS.
I DID GET THE MENRENS-MONAHAN BLOG UPDATED, FINALLY, AND I DID E MAIL THE FAMILY MEMBERS WITH WHAT I HAVE AS FAR AS MOST POPULAR NAMES, I HAVE MORE THAN 50; AND I HAVE RECEIVED RESPONSES ALREADY !
It still appears I am one of the few “followers” on most of my blogs !
