***YES I DID, 100 DEGREE'S TODAY?***

AUGUST 4, 2012



PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:


I  woke up early again today, 6:30 am, to a 2+, after 8+- hours of sleep; I took my pills at 7am and then went back to bed until a little after 9am, I then got up and took one of my energy drinks and then my B.P it said it was 194/177/63 at 9:30am, I'm sure that can not be right even with the “energy drink”, so I will take it again before I post. I did get up to Gloria'z yesterday and got a copy of Cory's oral history she took of me for her book, she e mailed it to me and I put it on my desktop and I will be working on it for a while. The sessions I had with her have resulted in 22 pages of transcribed material for me to review. It makes me wonder if Greg, the gentleman doing the oral history for the Historical Society would even have a possibility of having anything before Kar's wedding later this month. I haven't won the Power Ball, “YET”, BUT IT'S STILL UP THERE!


I am getting signals that my computer doesn’t want to connect to the internet so I am not sure when this may post?


I am still slowly in the process of designing my own “for profit” business. “WALLY'S LIST”, and I am still waiting to hear from 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, AND NOT ALL OF THESE ARE MINE YOU KNOW!


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


POLITICAL:


I did see yesterday where even a conservative Republican was quitting the House because HE was disgusted with the “gridlock”!!


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 need to get a couple of Clackamas County Lawn Signs for the County Chair and Commissioner candidate Jamie Damon, hopefully following their endorsement at the C.P.B.T., whenever that might happen?


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 also report that we received another invite from Jim and Francis to a O.F.A. Function at their house today but I declined because of a previous commitment, and it's good thing too; when I took my energy drink at 9am, I checked the thermometer on the south deck; and while it is in direct sunlight it was already over 80 degrees so I came back here to the computer room, thank goodness for Air Conditioning.


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, and the repose of the soul of cousin Dan Monahan's sister-in-law, Patricia. 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 sure hope it get's below 95 so I can make Mass tonight at 5:30pm.


I did return the book to 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 still think all those, so called, Christians in congress 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 does that not 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.


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:



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


I did hear 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:


THE OLYMPIC'S 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 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 !



FAMILY & AOH REPORT :


IF YOU WERE WATCHING CHANNEL 6 (CBS) LOCAL NEWS LAST NIGHT YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT HERO, ARRON; HE JUST HAPPENS TO BE BROTHER-IN-LAW ERIC'S SON ! :-)

BROTHER MIKE STOPPED BY LAST NIGHT AFTER WORK AND JUST BEFORE HIS SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT AT KAISER FOR A M.R.I., HOPE ALL IS STILL GOOD.


I DID GET THE MENRENS MONAHAN BLOG UPDATED, YEA.


OUR CONDOLENCES SHOULD ALL GO OUT TO THE FAMILY OF COUSIN DAN MONAHAN ON THE LOSS OF HIS SISTER-IN-LAW, PATRICIA MONAHAN.


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. DANIEL DID TELL ME THAT WHILE KUWAIT WAS HOTTER THAN IRAQ, IT WAS SAFER.


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 !


Well I rechecked my B.P. At 10:45am and it was 148/86/63 and the temperature was up to 90degree's, and I did get on line so I will post today.


Bobbie, welcome home and my blog is still just 4 Pages but just 1,500+- words.
