PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:
I slept in this morning until 9am and after 12 hours of sleep, I awoke to a 3. after I moved out to my Lazy Boy because of some back pain, and took my pill's at 9:15am. I received an email from sister Danni with a prayer the request going around, as much an attack on the ACLU as a legitimate request for prayer's for our Service men and women. It just happen's to be this first prayer I have been posting for month's. I will be short today, as I have an appointment with my neurologist this afternoon, and I sure hope that ½” of snow is gone before I have to leave. I think the O.M.S.N. direct link is on the front page. I did hear from Portland Commissioner Nick Fish yesterday and he did get my history of “complaint's” with B. of A and said they would look into it. I also received a fundraiser letter from our new Congressional Candidate “Kurt Schrader” and I will fill it out and send it in, today I hope, and I will also check the box to host a “house party” for him; it is very important that he get as much help as possible before the end of March. I have a link below in my “Political” section, and you do not have to be from his district to donate.
Don't forget, Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. P.S. I still haven't heard from a soul :-(.
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 and now cousin Amy.
“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, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles, brother Buddy Nissing's wife Judy, Brother Jimmy Walters, Brother Bill Edens, brother in law Eric's mother and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Pat O'baby, the family of brother Charlie Miles, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy 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.”
KAISER – M.S. REPORT:
My B.P. today is 113/69/67 at 10:15am, pretty good; I think anyway. I did also contact the Trust for help with the new bed that will get me out of my Lazy Boy for a good night's sleep, and it sounds like they will attempt to help. I am still waiting to hear from ATPA. My appointment with my neurologist is this afternoon to see how the new regimen is working, he did warn me one of the side affects may be some crazy dream's, and I really think that new pill he has me on is helping and the dreams seem to be subsiding the last few days.
POLITICAL:
I am not sure if anyone else noticed the report that Mitt Romney won the Puerto Rican republican primary, and maybe I misheard a few statement's but it did seem to me, a few refered to the fact that Puerto Rico was a separate “country” and would have to make english their “primary” language?
THANK YOU SENATOR MERKLEY AND CONGRESSMAN DEFAZIO. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!
Putting Americans to Work in American Forests
In 2009, Jeff fought hard for funding for jobs in Oregon's forests as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, to put unemployed Oregonians to work thinning our overgrown, choked second-growth forests. However, the companies hired to do the work evaded federal law to import cheap foreign workers, advertising for the jobs far from where the work was being done, then declaring there were no eligible Americans to do the work.
When Jeff learned about this outrage, he demanded answers from the Department of Labor, and recently partnered with Congressman Peter Defazio to introduce a bill that will fill the holes in the H-2B visa program so incidents like this one never happen again. The bill will force companies to work with the state's employment department to ensure there really are no Americans available before visas are granted. No one can say with a straight face there were not Oregonians ready and willing to work in the forests in 2009 and 2010.
My political report will now include MY reasoning.
RON WYDEN FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM OREGON; I have considered him a personal friend for a few decades and his stands taken for us retiree's, women's right's; and fighting attempt of the r's to kill the Keystone pipeline, also putting the onus for getting our state forrestry payment's back right in the pocket of congressman Greg Walden and the house of representatives!
www.standtallforamerica.com !
KURT SCHRADER FOR UNITED STATES CONGRESS ! He is now OUR new congressman and his support for our military and his effectiveness in congress so far has brought the rath of “bush's brain” carl rove and the tea party republican's tells he must be VERY evvective. And I am going to send him a couple $ today and offer to help, even with a house party.
www.kurtschrader.com,
EARL BLUMENHAUER FOR UNITED STATES CONGRESS ! I have known, and been his constituent since his entry into Congress, least until this year, and his service to his constituency, and the State of Oregon; IS exemplary !
JUDY SHIPRACK FOR MULTNOMAH COUNTY COMMISSIONER ! I have known Judy for over 30 years and I know her priorities and concerns for the County and her stamina under the attack's by that “rag” W.W.
www.judyshiprack.com !
CHARLIE HALES FOR PORTLAND MAYOR ! I met Charlie when he was on the Portland City Council and I was still living and working in Portland. His door was alway's open to the concern's of any Portlander, and while I can not think of any disagreement's I might have had with him during his tenure; I do know I would have been able to reach him with them.
www.facebook.com/CharlieHalesforMayor !
MARY NOLAN FOR PORTLAND CITY COMMISSINONER ! For reasons too numerous to mention! And she did great at our last AOH meeting.
MARTHA SCHRADER FOR CLACKAMAS COUNTY COMMISSIONER ! Because of her STRONG support for Oregon Military Members and their families while she was in the Oregon Legislature, and the fact She WILL be our representative on the Clackamas County Commission.
www.C-esys.com/marthaschrader/donationaspx !
BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, because MY hope is still alive and...
The First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden launched their Joining Forces initiative,
MY MOST IMPORTANT SECTION STILL:
YELLOW RIBBON SECTION:
Here is a program that is also looking for help! I am starting to run out of yellow ribbon!
http://www.lbeh.org/
Don't forget to say THANK YOU, to all those servicemen and women who have served or are serving.
Nephew Rhyon is back from Afghanistan, and nephew Christopher is back on base in Southern California; but we now have cousin Amy Pahut to worry about; but the President did say the War in Iraq is over, but a prayer a day from all my readers would still make me feel better.
LETS BRING THE REST HOME, NOW (especially after that disaster in afghanistan) !!
If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.
At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?
I DID MOVE MY AOH REPORT OVER TO THE MONAHAN/MEHRENS BLOG, and I did announce my desire to become President of Our Portland Chapter, but I apparently misunderstood President Gallager's desires.
SPORTS:
I still have to catch up with nephew Michael Ross to see when his spring baseball starts, but brother Marty did say he was coming home for a few day's soon, I did look for him in the crowds at the PAC 12 Tourney, but if he was there, I missed him.
When I heard of the major changes that the Blazer's made, I must say they greatly concerned me, but after that big win in Chicago, I must say I feel much less concerned now and I hope they get back on track tonight.
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 at least for the next 2 years.
The Local 290 “DON SALEE” Member Assistance Program; and you can even make a donation through the U.A. Credit Union, and it appears we will be doing a “BULL SESSION” drawing at the Union meeting's to help raise $ for them.
UNION REPORT:
We still to remember Brother Jimmy Walters and Brother Bill Edens are recovering from vascular sergery so, please add them to your prayers for a speedy and successful recoveries.
I missed the V.O.C. and the PAC meeting's, but GLWATHCDR I will make the next PAC meeting and thank you my sisters and brothers for your support of our O.M.S.N. Request.
It is the political season and I would encourage all you politico's to get a “Union Bug” on your printed material. I personally prefer Hollywood Impress, because they have always met my needs.
FAMILY REPORT:
Please say an extra prayer for brother-in-law Eric's mom, who is in the hospital recouperating from an infection.
And, by the way, today is his Birthday; HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIC !!
I have my “shadow box” and almost have it put together, being the Mehrens family has 430+- years in the United Association from Portland, Oregon to Iron Mountain, Michigan! I know this may be considered an unnessesary repeat but, I am sooo proud.
BIG ANNIVERSARY IN 2 WEEK'S, ARE YOU READY ? I'll be celebrating at 6pm PDT at Kell's and I'm sure it will be celebrated in many cities, towns and States, Thank You Ann.
It still appears I am the the only “follower” on my “MEHRENS/MONAHAN” blog?

***MARY NOLAN WAS GREAT LAST NIGHT, HELP HER OUT IF YOU CAN***
PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:
I awoke this morning at 7:30am and after 10+ hours of sleep, I awoke to a 2+ with some back pain, and took my pill's at 7:45am. I awoke to a 2+. I did get to our AOH meeting last night and Bill did want another year, so I was mistaken, so I will be content to wait until next year, which, I think is where we ended up last night, disappointed; but not dejected. I still also hope to hear from Glenn from the O.M.S.N., so I can put a direct link to it on the front page. I did hear from Portland Commissioner Nick Fish's staff person that deals with “Home Mortage” issues this morning and have his correct email now and I will go through with my history of “complaint's” with B. of A.

***IMPORTANT A.O.H. MEETING TONIGHT***
PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:
I slept in this morning untl 8:30am and after 10+ hours of sleep, I awoke to a 2 with some back pain, and took my pill's at 9am. I awoke to a 2, I think mostly because I awoke with the sniffles and that darn back pain, I did sleep in my bed, instead of the Lazy Boy, and with my heating pad and quilt, and went ove rto the bed store and it appears my new bed can not be delivered until Friday or Saturday. I also hope to get a few more email responses from my A.O.H. Brothers on my rerquest for support for President, and I am looking forward to our meeting tonight. I did get a response from David O' and he stated that he believed Bill wanted another term, so maybe I was mistaken, but before I saw his email I sent one to brother bill and asked him to nominate me so I guess that may resolve the confusion. I also hope to hear from Glenn from the O.M.S.N., so I can put a direct link to it on the front page. I did also did try to contact Portland Commissioner Nick Fish's staff person that deals with “Home Mortage” issues by email with the address I had but it did not go through with my history of “complaint's” with B. of A.
Don't forget, Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. P.S. I still haven't heard from a soul :-(.

For sister Danni, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles, brother Buddy Nissing's wife Judy, Brother Jimmy Walters, Brother Bill Edens, brother in law Eric's mother and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Pat O'baby, the family of brother Charlie Miles, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy 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.”
KAISER – M.S. REPORT:
My B.P. today is 136/80/68 at 10:45am, pretty good; I think anyway. I did also contact the Trust for help with the new bed that will get me out of my Lazy Boy for a good night's sleep, and it sounds like they will attempt to help. I am still waiting to hear from ATPA. My last appointment with my neurologist went well and he changed some of my medications and he scheduled a new appointment for March 22nd to see how the new regimen is working, he did warn me one of the side affects may be some crazy dream's, they seem to be subsiding the last few days.
POLITICAL:
I am not sure if anyone else noticed the report that Mitt Romney won the Puerto Rican republican primary, and maybe I misheard a few statement's but it did seem to me, a few refered to the fact that Puerto Rico was a separate “country” and would have to make english their “primary” language?
My political report does now include MY reasoning.
RON WYDEN FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM OREGON; I have considered him a personal friend for a few decades and his stands taken for us retiree's, women's right's; and fighting attempt of the r's to kill the Keystone pipeline, also putting the onus for getting our state forrestry payment's back right in the pocket of congressman Greg Walden and the house of representatives!

Nephew Rhyon is back from Afghanistan, and nephew Christopher is back on base in Southern California; but we now have cousin Amy Pahut to worry about; but the President did say the War in Iraq is over, but a prayer a day from all my readers would still make me feel better.
LETS BRING THE REST HOME, NOW (especially after that disaster in afghanistan) !!
If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.
At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?
I DID MOVE MY AOH REPORT OVER TO THE MONAHAN/MEHRENS BLOG, and I have announced my desire to become President of Our Portland Chapter, and I hope I have not misunderstood President Gallager's desires and I hope to see all at the meeting tonight.
SPORTS:
I still have to catch up with nephew Michael Ross to see when his spring baseball starts, but brother Marty did say he was coming home for a few day's soon, I did look for him in the crowds at the PAC 12 Tourney, but if he was there, I missed him.
When I heard of the major changes that the Blazer's made, I must say they greatly concerned me, but after that big win in Chicago, I must say I feel much less concerned now. hopefully a good performance bak home tonight!
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 at least for the next 2 years.
The Local 290 “DON SALEE” Member Assistance Program; and you can even make a donation through the U.A. Credit Union, and it appears we will be doing a “BULL SESSION” drawing at the Union meeting's to help raise $ for them.
UNION REPORT:
We still to remember Brother Jimmy Walters and Brother Bill Edens are recovering from vascular sergery so, please addthem to your prayers for a speedy and successful recoveries.
I missed the V.O.C. and the PAC meeting's, but GLWATHCDR I will make the next PAC meeting and thank you my sisters and brothers for your support of our O.M.S.N. Request.
It is the political season and I would encourage all you politico's to get a “Union Bug” on your printed material. I personally prefer Hollywood Impress, because they have always met my needs.
FAMILY REPORT:
Please say an extra prayer for brother-in-law Eric's mom, who is in the hospital recouperating from an infection.
The new picture's and comment's posted on Face Book are absolutely wonderfull, and Happy Birthday again and have a safe trip; to a “Very Talented” Cody Denham.
I have my “shadow box” and almost have it put together, being the Mehrens family has 430+- years in the United Association from Portland, Oregon to Iron Mountain, Michigan! I know this may be considered an unnessesary repeat but, I am sooo proud.
It still appears I am the the only “follower” on my “MEHRENS/MONAHAN” blog?
Bobbie, my blog is 4 Pages and 1,900+- words.
I slept in this morning untl 8:30am and after 10+ hours of sleep, I awoke to a 2 with some back pain, and took my pill's at 9am. I awoke to a 2, I think mostly because I awoke with the sniffles and that darn back pain, I did sleep in my bed, instead of the Lazy Boy, and with my heating pad and quilt, and went ove rto the bed store and it appears my new bed can not be delivered until Friday or Saturday. I also hope to get a few more email responses from my A.O.H. Brothers on my rerquest for support for President, and I am looking forward to our meeting tonight. I did get a response from David O' and he stated that he believed Bill wanted another term, so maybe I was mistaken, but before I saw his email I sent one to brother bill and asked him to nominate me so I guess that may resolve the confusion. I also hope to hear from Glenn from the O.M.S.N., so I can put a direct link to it on the front page. I did also did try to contact Portland Commissioner Nick Fish's staff person that deals with “Home Mortage” issues by email with the address I had but it did not go through with my history of “complaint's” with B. of A.
Don't forget, Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. P.S. I still haven't heard from a soul :-(.
I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher and now cousin Amy.
“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.

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:
I awoke this morning at 7am and after about 9+ hours of sleep, I awoke to a 3, and took my pill's at 7:30am. I awoke to a 3, I think mostly because I had a pretty lazy day yesterday and I did sleep in my bed, instead of the Lazy Boy, and with my heating pad and quilt. I also awoke to a 3 because I felt good about getting my new bed Today and Gary and Eric came over to help us get ready for our bed Delivery today. I didn't watch the “Talking Heads” yesterday, so I don't think I will have anything new in my Political Section except that Romney won the Puerto Rican republican primary.

I also hope to hear from Glenn from the O.M.S.N., so I can put a direct link to it on the front page. I am watching the DOW and it is up about 30 point's, but it is early. I also did ask Eric how his mom was doing and he said, while she was still in the hospital and they were working on controlling her infection, she was doing a little better; so I would ask all to add her to your prayers also. I am also going to contact Portland Commissioner Nick Fish's staff person that deals with “Home Mortage” issues, and when I told him of my complaint's with B. of A. on Friday he was very interested and asked that I email him with my history of “complaint's”.

RON WYDEN FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM OREGON; I have considered him a personal friend for a few decades and his stands taken for us retiree's, women's right's; and fighting attempt of the r's to kill the Keystone pipeline, also putting the onus for getting our state forrestry payment's back right in the pocket of congressman Greg Walden and the house of representatives!

KURT SCHRADER FOR UNITED STATES CONGRESS ! He is now OUR new congressman and his support for our military and his effectiveness in congress so far has brought the rath of “bush's brain” carl rove and the tea party republican's tells he must be VERY effective.

YELLOW RIBBON SECTION:
Here is a program that is also looking for help! I am starting to run out of yellow ribbon!
http://www.lbeh.org/
Don't forget to say THANK YOU, to all those servicemen and women who have served or are serving.
Nephew Rhyon is back from Afghanistan, and nephew Christopher is back on base in Southern California; but we now have cousin Amy Pahut to worry about; but the President did say the War in Iraq is over, but a prayer a day from all my readers would still make me feel better.
LETS BRING THE REST HOME, NOW (especially after that disaster in afghanistan) !!
If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.
At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?
I DID MOVE MY AOH REPORT OVER TO THE MONAHAN/MEHRENS BLOG, and I have announced my desire to become President of Our Portland Chapter, but based on the email I received today I may have misunderstood President Gallager's desires.
SPORTS:
I still have to catch up with nephew Michael Ross to see when his spring baseball starts, but brother Marty did say he was coming home for a few day's soon, I did look for him in the crowds at the PAC 12 Tourney, but if he was there, I missed him.
When I heard of the major changes that the Blazer's made, I must say they greatly concerned me, but after that big win in Chicago, I must say I feel much less concerned now; even after that loss yesterday.
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 at least for the next 2 years.
The Local 290 “DON SALEE” Member Assistance Program; and you can even make a donation through the U.A. Credit Union, and it appears we will be doing a “BULL SESSION” drawing at the Union meeting's to help raise $ for them.
UNION REPORT:
We still to remember Brother Jimmy Walters and Brother Bill Edens are recovering from vascular sergery so, please addthem to your prayers for a speedy and successful recoveries.
I missed the V.O.C. and the PAC meeting's, but GLWATHCDR I will make the next PAC meeting and thank you my sisters and brothers for your support of our O.M.S.N. Request.
It is the political season and I would encourage all you politico's to get a “Union Bug” on your printed material. I personally prefer Hollywood Impress, because they have always met my needs.
FAMILY REPORT:
Please say an extra prayer for brother-in-law Eric's mom, who is in the hospital recouperating from an infection.
The Family dinner Saturday night was absolutely wonderfull, and Happy Birthday again and have a safe trip; to a “Very Talented” Cody Denham.
I have my “shadow box” and almost have it put together, being the Mehrens family has 430+- years in the United Association from Portland, Oregon to Iron Mountain, Michigan! I know this may be considered an unnessesary repeat but, I am sooo proud.

***CODY DENHAM, WRITER & MOVIE MAKER; WILL BE A STAR !***
PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:
I slept in this morning until 9am and after about 9+ hours of sleep, I awoke to a 3, and took my pill's at 9:15am. I haven't posted for a few day's because I have been very busy celebrating Saint Patrick's Day, awoke to a 3 even though I did sleep in my bed, instead of the Lazy Boy, and with my heating pad and quilt. I awoke to a 3 because I felt good about getting my new bed Tommorrow. Gary and Eric are coming over this evening, so we can get ready for our bed Delivery tommorrow. I won't be watching the “Talking Heads” today, so I don't think I will have anything new in my Political Section. I also hope to get email responses from my A.O.H. Brothers on my rerquest for support for President, and from Glenn from the O.M.S.N.; so I can put a direct link on the front page.
Don't forget, Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. P.S. I still haven't heard from a soul :-(.
I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher and now cousin Amy.
“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, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles, brother Buddy Nissing's wife Judy, Brother Jimmy Walters, Brother Bill Edens and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, the family of brother Charlie Miles, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy 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.”
KAISER – M.S. REPORT:
My B.P. today is 110/60/64 at 11:30am, pretty good; I think anyway. I did also contact the Trust for help with a new bed that will get me out of my Lazy Boy for a good night's sleep, and it sounds like they will attempt to help. I should be hearing from ATPA. My last appointment with my neurologist went well and he changed some of my medications and he scheduled a new appointment for March 22nd to see how the new regimen is working, he did warn me one of the side affects may be some crazy dream's.

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:
I awoke morning at 7am and after about 9+ hours of sleep, I awoke to a 3, and took my pill's at 7:30am. I awoke to a 3 even though I did sleep in my bed, instead of the Lazy Boy, and with my heating pad and quilt. I awoke to a 3 because I felt good about getting my new bed Monday and making the Executive Board meeting last night. We did get hold of Gary and Eric to come over to help move our beds Sunday evening. I am watching the DOW this morning and it has gotten to 13,220+ mark today. My blog should a little shorter today because my “new additions” will be rather limited except at my A.O.H. Section but I will still give my reasons for MY endorsement's support in my “Political” Section, and after all, it is Roberta Ann's Birthday today; and she probably has plenty to do today besides read my blog.

Bobbie, my blog is 4 Pages and 1,500+- words. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, IF YOU FOUND TIME IN THE MIDST OF YOUR CELEBRATING TO READ DOWN THIS FAR ;-)!
I awoke morning at 7am and after about 9+ hours of sleep, I awoke to a 3, and took my pill's at 7:30am. I awoke to a 3 even though I did sleep in my bed, instead of the Lazy Boy, and with my heating pad and quilt. I awoke to a 3 because I felt good about getting my new bed Monday and making the Executive Board meeting last night. We did get hold of Gary and Eric to come over to help move our beds Sunday evening. I am watching the DOW this morning and it has gotten to 13,220+ mark today. My blog should a little shorter today because my “new additions” will be rather limited except at my A.O.H. Section but I will still give my reasons for MY endorsement's support in my “Political” Section, and after all, it is Roberta Ann's Birthday today; and she probably has plenty to do today besides read my blog.
Don't forget, Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. P.S. I still haven't heard from a soul :-(.
I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher and now cousin Amy.
“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, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles, brother Buddy Nissing's wife Judy, Brother Jimmy Walters, Brother Bill Edens and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, the family of brother Charlie Miles, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy 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.”
KAISER – M.S. REPORT:
My B.P. today is 110/65/56 at 11:30am, pretty good; I think anyway. I did also contact the Trust for help with a new bed that will get me out of my Lazy Boy for a good night's sleep, and it sounds like they will attempt to help. I should be hearing from ATPA. My last appointment with my neurologist went well and he changed some of my medications and he scheduled a new appointment for March 22nd to see how the new regimen is working, he did warn me one of the side affects may be some crazy dream's.
POLITICAL:
My political report will now include MY reasoning.
RON WYDEN FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM OREGON; I have considered him a personal friend for a few decades and his stands taken for us retiree's, women's right's; and fighting attempt of the r's to kill the Keystone pipeline !
www.standtallforamerica.com !
KURT SCHRADER FOR UNITED STATES CONGRESS ! He is now OUR new congressman and his support for our military and his effectiveness in congress so far has brought the rath of “bush's brain” carl rove and the tea party republican's tells he must be VERY evvective.
www.kurtschrader.com,
EARL BLUMENHAUER FOR UNITED STATES CONGRESS ! I have known, and have been his constituent since his entry into Congress, least until this year, and his service to his constituency, and the State of Oregon; IS exemplary !
JUDY SHIPRACK FOR MULTNOMAH COUNTY COMMISSIONER ! I have known Judy for over 30 years and I know her priorities and concerns for the County and her stamina under the attack's by that “rag” W.W.
www.judyshiprack.com !
CHARLIE HALES FOR PORTLAND MAYOR ! I met Charlie when he was on the Portland City Council and I was still living and working in Portland. His door was alway's open to the concern's of any Portlander, and while I can not think of any disagreement's I might have had with him during his tenure; I do know I would have been able to reach him with them.
www.facebook.com/CharlieHalesforMayor !
MARY NOLAN FOR PORTLAND CITY COMMISSINONER ! For reasons too numerous to mention!
MARTHA SCHRADER FOR CLACKAMAS COUNTY COMMISSIONER ! Her STRONG support for Oregon Military Members and their families while she was in the Oregon Legislature, and the fact She WILL be our representative on the Clackamas County Commission.
www.C-esys.com/marthaschrader/donationaspx !
BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, because MY hope is still alive and...
The First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden launched their Joining Forces initiative,
MY MOST IMPORTANT SECTION STILL:
YELLOW RIBBON SECTION:
Here is a program that is also looking for help! I am starting to run out of yellow ribbon!
http://www.lbeh.org/
Don't forget to say THANK YOU, to all those servicemen and women who have served or are serving.
Nephew Rhyon is back from Afghanistan, and nephew Christopher is back on base in Southern California; but we now have cousin Amy Pahut to worry about; but the President did say the War in Iraq is over, but a prayer a day from all my readers would still make me feel better.
LETS BRING THE REST HOME, NOW (especially after that disaster in afghanistan) !!
If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.
At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?
I DID MOVE MY AOH REPORT OVER TO THE MONAHAN/MEHRENS BLOG, and I will announce now my desire to become President of Our Portland Chapter, I also hope to make the function Tommorrow at Portland City Hall at noon.
SPORTS:
Have you filled out YOUR Tournament Bracket's ?
I still have to catch up with nephew Michael Ross to see when his spring baseball starts, but brother Marty did say he was coming home for a few day's soon, I did look for him in the crowds at the PAC 12 Tourney, but if he was there, I missed him.
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 at least for the next 2 years.
The Local 290 “DON SALEE” Member Assistance Program; and you can even make a donation through the U.A. Credit Union, and it appears we will be doing a “BULL SESSION” drawing at the Union meeting's to help raise $ for them.
UNION REPORT:
We still to remember Brother Jimmy Walters and Brother Bill Edens are recovering from vascular sergery so, please add them to your prayers for speedy and successful recoveries.
I missed the V.O.C. and the PAC meeting's this week, but I did make the E-board meeting last night with my O.M.S.N. request and will make the Union meeting Friday night.
It is the political season and I would encourage all you politico's to get a “Union Bug” on your printed material. I personally prefer Hollywood Impress, because they have always met my needs.
FAMILY REPORT:
The Family dinner on St. Patrick's Day does sound wonderfull.
I have my “shadow box” and almost have it put together, being the Mehrens family has 430+- years in the United Association from Portland, Oregon to Iron Mountain, Michigan! I know this may be considered an unnessesary repeat but, I am sooo proud.
It still appears I am the the only “follower” on my “MEHRENS/MONAHAN” blog?

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:

I awoke to a 3 even though I did sleep in my bed, instead of the Lazy Boy, and with my heating pad and quilt. I awoke to a 3 because I felt good about getting my new bed Monday. I didn't make either of the the meetings at the Hall, but I will really try to make the E-bd tonight for The Oregon Military Support Request, I did talk with both Billy and Gil and they both said they would give Glenn a fair hearing and I told Gil I would try to remember to call Glenn and ask him to leave the V.I.P. CD with him if I can't make the meeting. No snow this morning, just rain predicted today so I hope it stops before I head to the meeting. I did get hold of Gary to come over to help move our beds Sunday evening and I will try to get hold of Eric also. I also need to send cousin Bill a copy of my O. M. S. N. request letter for the next E-board meeting. I am watching the DOW this morning and it has gotten to 13,185+ mark today. My blog may be a little long today because I will attempt to give my reasons for my support in my “Political” Section.

***WALLY IS GETTING HIS NEW BED :-) !***
PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:
I awoke morning at 7:30am and after about 9+ hours of sleep, I awoke to a 3, and took my pill's at 8am. I awoke to a 3 even though I did sleep in my bed, instead of the Lazy Boy, and with my heating pad and quilt, and did have an interesting good dream so I awoke to a 3. I messed up last night and missed the PAC meeting at the Hall, so I guess I have been mis-reporting the day's and times. We woke up to about 1 ½ inces of snow this morning so I am not going to make CPBT today, but I think one of the local meetings is tonight, but I will probably miss it also, unless we clear of the snow. Judi did head off to her appointment with David this morning, I sure hope the snow stops and goes away and her trip is safe. I did get to the Bed Store yesterday and we will be getting our new bed Monday so I need to try and get either and or Eric and Gary to come over to move our beds before Monday. I also need to send cousin Bill a copy of my O. M. S. N. request letter for the next E-board meeting. I also need all to wish for the end of the snow so I can make the E-Bd meeting tommorrow night. I did get to share the International's V.I.P. CD with Glenn Sunday afternoon at the D.A.V. Bingo hall on 87th and Sandy and found out they have bingo 7 day's a week and 3 times a day. I am watching the DOW this morning and it has gotten to 13,080 mark today. I am a little further along in the Chris Mathews book about John F. Kennedy and it is challenging me to change my “book” idea to one on hero's that have lost their luster.
Don't forget, Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. P.S. I still haven't heard from a soul :-(.
I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher and now cousin Amy.
“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, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles, brother Buddy Nissing's wife Judy, Brother Jimmy Walters and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, the family of brother Charlie Miles, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy 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.”
KAISER – M.S. REPORT:
My B.P. today is 134/72/60 at 10:30am, pretty good; I think anyway. I did also contact the Trust for help with a new bed that will get me out of my Lazy Boy for a good night's sleep, and it sounds like they will attempt to help. I should be hearing from ATPA. My last appointment with my neurologist went well and he changed some of my medications and he scheduled a new appointment for March 22nd to see how the new regimen is working, he did warn me one of the side affects may be some crazy dream's; and I must say they have been, especially last night.
POLITICAL:
My political report is pretty much the same and I did watch the “Talking Head's” Sunday shows to see their take on the Republican's attacks on Women's rights and voting right's, and please VOTE FOR CHARLIE HALES FOR PORTLAND MAYOR, and I must apologize to good friend Judy Shiprack who is running again for the Multnomah County Commission; so you will have to check a previous blog for anything more than the links to My preferred candidates.

Nephew Rhyon is back from Afghanistan, and nephew Christopher is back on base in Southern California; but we now have cousin Amy Pahut to worry about; but the President did say the War in Iraq is over, but a prayer a day from all my readers would still make me feel better.
LETS BRING THE REST HOME, NOW (especially after that disaster in afghanistan) !!
If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.
At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?
I DID MOVE MY AOH REPORT OVER TO THE MONAHAN/MEHRENS BLOG, and I may have an announcement soon, I also understand there is a function Friday at Portland City Hall at noon and G.L.W.A.T.C.D.R. I will attempt to make it.
SPORTS:
I still have to catch up with nephew Michael Ross to see when his spring baseball starts, but brother Marty did say he was coming home for a few day's soon, I did look for him in the crowds at the PAC 12 Tourney, but if he was there, I missed him.
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 at least for the next 2 years.
The Local 290 “DON SALEE” Member Assistance Program; and you can even make a donation through the U.A. Credit Union, and it appears we will be doing a “BULL SESSION” drawing at the Union meeting's to help raise $ for them.
UNION REPORT:
We still to remember Brother Jimmy Walters is recovering from vascular sergery so, please add him to your prayers for a speedy and successful recovery.
Very important meetings this week and it appears I have been mistaken on some of them, but I am going to attempt to make the E-board meeting tommorrow night with my O.M.S.N. Request and the Union meeting Friday night.
It is the political season and I would encourage all you politico's to get a “Union Bug” on your printed material. I personally prefer Hollywood Impress, because they have always met my needs.
FAMILY REPORT:
The Family dinner on St. Patrick's Day does sound wonderfull.
WE HAVE SOOO MANY BIRTHDAY'S THIS WEEK, BUT I WILL SAY AN EARLY HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBERTA ANN.
I have my “shadow box” and almost have it put together, being the Mehrens family has 430+- years in the United Association from Portland, Oregon to Iron Mountain, Michigan! I know this may be considered an unnessesary repeat but, I am sooo proud.
It still appears I am the the only “follower” on my “MEHRENS/MONAHAN” blog?
Bobbie, my blog is 3 Pages and 1,500+- words.
I awoke morning at 7:30am and after about 9+ hours of sleep, I awoke to a 3, and took my pill's at 8am. I awoke to a 3 even though I did sleep in my bed, instead of the Lazy Boy, and with my heating pad and quilt, and did have an interesting good dream so I awoke to a 3. I messed up last night and missed the PAC meeting at the Hall, so I guess I have been mis-reporting the day's and times. We woke up to about 1 ½ inces of snow this morning so I am not going to make CPBT today, but I think one of the local meetings is tonight, but I will probably miss it also, unless we clear of the snow. Judi did head off to her appointment with David this morning, I sure hope the snow stops and goes away and her trip is safe. I did get to the Bed Store yesterday and we will be getting our new bed Monday so I need to try and get either and or Eric and Gary to come over to move our beds before Monday. I also need to send cousin Bill a copy of my O. M. S. N. request letter for the next E-board meeting. I also need all to wish for the end of the snow so I can make the E-Bd meeting tommorrow night. I did get to share the International's V.I.P. CD with Glenn Sunday afternoon at the D.A.V. Bingo hall on 87th and Sandy and found out they have bingo 7 day's a week and 3 times a day. I am watching the DOW this morning and it has gotten to 13,080 mark today. I am a little further along in the Chris Mathews book about John F. Kennedy and it is challenging me to change my “book” idea to one on hero's that have lost their luster.
Don't forget, Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. P.S. I still haven't heard from a soul :-(.
I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher and now cousin Amy.
“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, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles, brother Buddy Nissing's wife Judy, Brother Jimmy Walters and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, the family of brother Charlie Miles, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy 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.”
KAISER – M.S. REPORT:
My B.P. today is 134/72/60 at 10:30am, pretty good; I think anyway. I did also contact the Trust for help with a new bed that will get me out of my Lazy Boy for a good night's sleep, and it sounds like they will attempt to help. I should be hearing from ATPA. My last appointment with my neurologist went well and he changed some of my medications and he scheduled a new appointment for March 22nd to see how the new regimen is working, he did warn me one of the side affects may be some crazy dream's; and I must say they have been, especially last night.
POLITICAL:
My political report is pretty much the same and I did watch the “Talking Head's” Sunday shows to see their take on the Republican's attacks on Women's rights and voting right's, and please VOTE FOR CHARLIE HALES FOR PORTLAND MAYOR, and I must apologize to good friend Judy Shiprack who is running again for the Multnomah County Commission; so you will have to check a previous blog for anything more than the links to My preferred candidates.

***I DID SPRING FORWARD, BRACE, CANE; AND ALL :-)***
PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:
I slept in this morning until 8:30am and after about 9+ hours of sleep, I awoke to a 2+, and took my pill's at 9am, I awoke at 8:30am because I actually did remember to “spring forward”. I awoke to a 2+ even though I did sleep in my bed, instead of the Lazy Boy, and with my heating pad and quilt, and no nasty dream's I awoke to a 2+. I did put together a request letter for the next E-board meeting for support for the O.M.S.N. and emailed it to the Hall and Gil, I will be able to share the International's V.I.P. CD with Glenn this afternoon. I believe he will recognize General Caldwell from his work with us on the “Helmet’s to Hardhat's” program we worked together with when he was with N.W.O.L.C Labor's Community Service Agency. I did make Mass last night in Milwaukie and it was a wonderfull Mass, I guess I haven't been paying attention; but I did think it was very cool that the 2 Priest's were served by two altar girl's.
Don't forget, Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. P.S. I still haven't heard from a soul :-(.
I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher and now cousin Amy.

I still have to catch up with nephew Michael Ross to see when his spring baseball starts, but brother Marty did say he was coming home for a few day's soon, I did look for him in the crowds at the PAC 12 Tourney, but if he was there, I missed him.
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 at least for the next 2 years.
The Local 290 “DON SALEE” Member Assistance Program; and you can even make a donation through the U.A. Credit Union, and it appears we will be doing a “BULL SESSION” drawing at the Union meeting's to help raise $ for them.
UNION REPORT:
We still to remember Brother Jimmy Walters is recovering from vascular sergery so, please add him to your prayers for a speedy and successful recovery.
Very important meetings next week. Tuesday night at 6pm for the Volunteer Organizing Committee and 6pm Wednesday night for the Political Action Committee in Tualatin, and I am going to attempt to make the E-board meeting following the P.A.C. meeting with my O.M.S.N. Request.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY THIS WEEKEND, BROTHER AL SCHROPSHIRE.
It is the political season and I would encourage all you politico's to get a “Union Bug” on your printed material. I personally prefer Hollywood Impress, because they have always met my needs.
FAMILY REPORT:
The Family dinner on St. Patrick's Day does sound wonderfull.
I have my “shadow box” and almost have it put together, being the Mehrens family has 430+- years in the United Association from Portland, Oregon to Iron Mountain, Michigan! I know this may be considered an unnessesary repeat but, I am sooo proud.
It still appears I am the the only “follower” on my “MEHRENS/MONAHAN” blog?
Bobbie, my blog is 3 Pages and 1,300+- words.
I slept in this morning until 8:30am and after about 9+ hours of sleep, I awoke to a 2+, and took my pill's at 9am, I awoke at 8:30am because I actually did remember to “spring forward”. I awoke to a 2+ even though I did sleep in my bed, instead of the Lazy Boy, and with my heating pad and quilt, and no nasty dream's I awoke to a 2+. I did put together a request letter for the next E-board meeting for support for the O.M.S.N. and emailed it to the Hall and Gil, I will be able to share the International's V.I.P. CD with Glenn this afternoon. I believe he will recognize General Caldwell from his work with us on the “Helmet’s to Hardhat's” program we worked together with when he was with N.W.O.L.C Labor's Community Service Agency. I did make Mass last night in Milwaukie and it was a wonderfull Mass, I guess I haven't been paying attention; but I did think it was very cool that the 2 Priest's were served by two altar girl's.
Don't forget, Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. P.S. I still haven't heard from a soul :-(.
I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher and now cousin Amy.
“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, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles, brother Buddy Nissing's wife Judy, Brother Jimmy Walters and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, the family of brother Charlie Miles, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy 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.”
KAISER – M.S. REPORT:
My B.P. today is 120/83/76 at 9:10am, pretty good; I think anyway. I did also contact the Trust for help with a new bed that will get me out of my Lazy Boy for a good night's sleep, and it sounds like they will attempt to help. I should be hearing from ATPA. My last appointment with my neurologist went well and he changed some of my medications and he scheduled a new appointment for March 22nd to see how the new regimen is working, he did warn me one of the side affects may be some crazy dream's; and I must say they have been.
POLITICAL:
My political report is pretty much the same and I will try to watch the “Talking Head's” Sunday shows to see their take on the Republican's attacks on Women's rights and voting right's, and my apologies to good friend and Multnomah County Commissioner Judy Shiprack and please VOTE FOR CHARLIE HALES FOR PORTLAND MAYOR, so you will have to check a previous blog for anything more than the links to My candidates.

Don't forget to say THANK YOU, to all those servicemen and women who have served or are serving.
Nephew Rhyon is back from Afghanistan, and nephew Christopher is back on base in Southern California; but we now have cousin Amy Pahut to worry about; but the President did say the War in Iraq is over, but a prayer a day from all my readers would still make me feel better.
LETS BRING THE REST HOME, NOW !!
If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.
At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?
I DID MOVE MY AOH REPORT OVER TO THE MONAHAN/MEHRENS BLOG, and I may have an announcement soon.

***7 DAY'S UNTIL THAT MOST IMPORTANT MARCH HOLIDAY***
PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:
I slept in this morning until 8:30am and after about 9+ hours of sleep, I awoke to a 2+, and took my pill's at 9am. I awoke to a 2+ even though I did sleep in my bed, instead of the Lazy Boy, and even though the guy's took advantage of me, even though I'm on a fixed income I had a good time at Gary's poker night. It was a pretty good nights sleep, thanks to Judi putting some biofreeze on my left hip before bed. I did get my haircut and it is pretty short, but I'm sure it helps with me getting more vitamin d from the sun with my hat off; now all I need is some sun. I did put together a request letter for the next E-board meeting for support for the O.M.S.N., I hope to be able to share the International's V.I.P. CD with him tommorrow. I believe he will recognize General Caldwell from his work with us on the “Helmet’s to Hardhat's” program we worked together with when he was with N.W.O.L.C Labor's Community Service Agency.
