BIG ED SCHULTZ........WHERE THE TRUTH RESIDES

PERSONAL

I awoke today at 6am today after 8+hrs of sleep to a 3. I took my pills and will be a little short today because I intend to make my Union meeting tonight. I did stay awake until after the NBA finals and delivered some biofreeze to Jimmy Judge last night and he thanked me and bought me a beer and said he would try it because he has another golf tournament this weekend. I also am still impressed with the President with his handling of B.P.. I am going to try add two new connections today also, 1) a connection to the Big Ed Schultz web site (http://www.bigeddieradio.com/) and B) a connection to the MADE IN USA website ( http://www.madeinusaforever.com). I did see Tom Margraf at the AOH and he was looking good and I sure wish he would have won his election and I will ask his counsel on the 2 candidates left. I am also going to try to make it over the the MsGuigens annual picnic at Columbia Park and then to Trina and Daniels for son Cody's graduation celebration tomorrow. Now for another strange coincidence, I checked with Jimmy and found out that he was related to the Montana Governor Judge mentioned in uncle Sandy's obituary. Cousin Larry Pahut won his runoff spot for the Deer Lodge Montana County Justice of the Peace with the most votes in a crowded field, so we will be keeping our good thoughts and prayers going for them both. (maybe you can send a few nickles and dimes for Larry's race) My uncle Sandy was a Montana State Senator for many years; so I guess that was also someplace else I got the political bug. I did go to the CPBT E-Bd Tuesday and expressed my disappointment. I haven't changed my mind on Kroger, but after I got home I did get a call from Brent and he restored my faith in him. Because of one of the statements made by A.G. Kroger and his pride taken in the fact that he has a division that is totally staffed by volunteers, he is a new member of my ZERO list; although I am sure he is NOT one of the unpaid volunteers. I do have a new voter registration card and if I fill it out maybe it will get me off of those dozens of mailing lists I am currently on but as my friend Al said, If I re-register that I need to sign up as unaffiliated and not independent. I am still waiting on Kaiser to check and see if my donut hole is plugged they took the forms and told me once they were “processed” I would get a “check in the mail”, less my regular deductible.(still waiting)

We have PUBLISHED AUTHOR in the family and I think she is only a few sales away from making the Clackamas County Review best seller list. If you check on the picture here on the front page it should take you to where you can order her book. Until she started writing that cookbook I never realized how many people needed Gluten Free food. I also have another book to recommend. “The Opposite Field” by Jessie Katz. I would encourage anyone who likes Baseball, in particular little league, to get that book. It has been a really good read so far.

I am still asking you all to send that U. of O. Arena information off to all the Duck Alumni you can find, but based on what I heard Saturday it will be falling on deaf ears. Cousins Bobbie and Dan need to know that, from what I got out of the U of O testimony was that, that bribery scheme to come up with the low bidders was reminiscent to me of the Gotti Family in New York. I guess since I have had sooo much time to sit in front of the T.V. since I retired, and watched too many “Sapranno's” I may be a little jaded, but I think Frohnmayer and most of those in the phony construction management firm on the U. of O. Arena, if they were engineering majors at Oregon, I'm thinking their college minors were T.V. and/or Movie making; although I didn't notice any “goodfella's” at the hearing? They spent a lot of time talking about “In Kind donations” being the difference between the LOW BID and #2, if it sounds like bribery and it looks like bribery is it a duck?

I did make the change in my Zero list and I hope you all notice. Listening to the U. of O. representatives, it appeared to me that they not only scammed the State of Oregon but also ALL their Alumni. I suggest that you all try to find this hearing on the State of Oregon Website and read the testimony. As I understand it there will be at least a few more hearings on these mess's. What was it by the way, that Dave Frohnmeyer did before he went to the U of O. I really didn't think the U of O is ANTI-UNION, but it sure appears they are now. I guess I'm too old now but I do remember a time I worked with both Cecil and Wayne Drinkward of Hoffman, who built a great construction company, and while we did not always agree on stuff their word WAS their bond and even they wouldn't come up with such a scam.

NEPHEW CHRISTOPHER IS IN AFGHANISTAN STILL; thank you for your service and you are in our prayers.

We think nephew Rhyon has made it back, at least as far as Hawaii. Judi told me they expect to see him maybe in the next few days

Cousin Larry Pahut's run off election in November will also need more help. I will say thank you to any and all that helped. That would be a picture of our grandfather there on the right, John L. Monahan, L for Larry? His sister, Patty Ann Sullivan is his Campaign Manager and must have done a fine job. I actually did send him a check, and saw that it had been cashed and would ask all to give what they can. (campaign H.Q. Are 400 Spruce, Anaconda, Montana 59711) Based on the fact he is in a run off they will probably still need more funds.

Even though Sandy wasn't so much a fisherman I am sure he is in the net.

God grant that I may live to fish until my dying day, And when it comes to my last cast, I then must humbly pray. When in the Lord's safe landing net I'm peacefully asleep,that in His mercy, I be judged............Good enough to keep.

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, the welcoming of Uncle Sandy into the house of the Lord, for the safe return of nephew Christopher from Afghanistan; good family friend Pat Percin, all those families suffering from those mine disasters in West Virginia and Kentucky, the coast residents of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida and Georgia (those Drill Baby Drill states); cousin Larry Pahut in his endeavor to become the Deer Lodge County Justice of the Peace; 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.”
Thank You, Mother Mary, for your help and assistance, especially for BRINGING DANIEL HOME SAFELY; for Brandee, whose pregnancy I understand is going well; and now those, NOW covered with Health Care.

I know I have been repeating things, maybe too much, on my blog; but some of this stuff I need to be reminded of and some of this stuff others need to be reminded of.

M.S., LDN and AMP REPORT

This is my attempt to keep track of my experiences with my LDN treatment for my Neurologist and his RN. So far with the 4.5mg, I think I'm noticeably better, especially since I am starting my day with it instead of finishing the day. I am experiencing better days and now that I'm doing the new dosage I am seeing a marked change. I have now been on that brand new FDA approved pill, Aminopyridine, even though I missed a few times, I am very pleased. It is supposed to be good for “gait” issues, even those with primary progressive. My B.P. was 126/75/61 at 1:40pm today. I also heard from my Kaiser primary care DR. and she is recommending another set of visits to the Chiropracor just down the street. I also received an e-mail from M.S. that said the FDA has approved a new oral (pill) treatment for M.S..

POLITICAL
Am I the only one that sees a general connection between the “Tea Partiers”, the “Michigan Militia” and all the other CRAZIES out there, to the “MANSON FAMILY” and Dick Army as the new Manson?

I watched the Press Conference with the B.P. people come out of the meeting with the President and apologize and to all the “little” people in the Gulf and from what I heard, what he got out of them; I was greatly impressed.

DO YOU THINK ALL THOSE “LITTLE” PEOPLE IN THE GULF, WAITING ON ALL THAT B.P. OIL TO COME ASHORE WOULD RATHER HAVE HAD AN L.N.G. PLANT? ( this is for all my Oregon Anti LNG readers)

WELL DONE EARL ! WELL DONE KURT !

LOCAL
NEWS FLASH...........LARY PAHUT IS IN THE RUN OFF!

CHECK PAST POSTS TO FIND WHERE DR. JOHN KITZHABER IS AND WHEN. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE HIM AND THE BASKETBALL PLAYER.

SPORTS

It's MLB Time, Hey Chicago, what do ya say, go Cubs go, Cubs gonna win today!

And yes Mark, I will check the Mariners schedule and try to get up there before the summers over. I understand the Cubs are coming to town next week for a three game set and I was going to try to get tickets for the Day game, but alas my calender has filled up.

Speaking of struggling teams, Go Orioles; and Peter have your people keep an eye on that Mehrens kid that is playing for the S. Cal Rangers, I have been following his progress on line and he definitely has the right stuff.

COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS & CHARITIES

Denise Hutzenbieler is looking for help with her walk for Epilepsy on June 19th, TOMMORROW.

Support EFNW - Eastbank side of waterfront park - The Northwest Run/Walk for Epilepsy benefits the Epilepsy Foundation Northwest and is a community fundraising walk. The organization provides uncompensated programs and services for people with epilepsy and seizure related conditions. Nearly 119,000 people in Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Montana have seizure related health issues, and the Epilepsy Foundation Northwest is the largest agency serving the needs of these communities so all will have better success in leading more productive and independent lives.

The American Rights at Work still needs help. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue. E.F.C.A. Especially in light of that mine disaster in West Virginia and those Rig explosions in the Gulf. I watched 60 minutes and as far as I am concerned, now that the Supreme Court has ruled that Corporations must be treated as regular people as far as “Campaign Finance is concerned” shouldn't they be treated as regular people when it comes to Murder or Manslaughter? If two or more people get together to plan and commit a crime isn't that a “conspiracy”; isn't that how they got the MOB?

The U.A. Local 290 “Don Salee” Member Assistance Program.

OTHER STUFF AND COMMUNICATIONS“GET 'ER DONE” - SOFT LANDING ! And give them back their money, and their overdue raise!

Those Republican's in D.C. Keep talking about the disaster in the Gulf; the oil spill, as an act of God that couldn't be helped. Do they really believe that God has an office at British Petroleum? I remember them taking that oppressive action when they were pissed at the French by renaming French fries in the Capital Cafeteria to “Freedom Fries”! Now after that oil spill, what are we going to call english muffins?

Congratulations to all who will be graduating this year/month. Michael Ross's Courtney, Trina and Daniel's Cody, Jo Ann's Twins, and the many I have probably missed.

The following is my wish for all of you:

****Thank You Mary Ellen****
May love and laughter light your days
And warm your heart and homes
May good and faithful friends be yours wherever you may roam
May peace and plenty bless your world with joy that long endures
May all life's passing seasons bring the best to you and yours

Whether you attend a church service, a Mosque, GLBT gathering, or Synagogue service, please say a prayer that God; yours, mine or ours; keeps our service men and women in the Palm of their hand.

Mike; My blog is 5 pages, and over 2,500 words today, I think. I'll see you next time on my blog.

THANK YOU TOM MARGRAF FOR YOUR EFFORTS

PERSONAL
I awoke today at 6:45am today after 8+hrs of sleep to a 2+, I now have some pains from a long day yesterday and staying out until after 9pm to make the AOH meeting last night, it was a “Bloomsday” celebration and we had readings from many well known Irish authors and it was very informative. I did have one Bud Light but I don't think that was the reason for my 2+. They are considering to try to put together a Gaelic language class but they need to get a good number of people and a place to hold them for a 30 week commitment. I did see Tom Margraf and he was looking good and I sure wish he would have won his election. Jimmy Judge tried mightily but couldn't quite carry us in the 290 golf tourney Sunday and we finished 7under; but just out of the money. Now for another strange coincidence. Our replacement golfer, Jimmy was related to the Governor Judge who was mentioned in Sandy's obit. I got an email from his wife and it appears he is hurting as much as I, I will try to get him some of my biofreeze that has really helped me with sore muscles today. You can't get it in a store, just online, but I think you can find it on E-bay through our connection.
Cousin Larry Pahut won his runoff spot for the Deer Lodge County Justice of the Peace with the most votes in a crowded field, so we will be keeping our good thoughts and prayers going for them both. (maybe nickles and dimes for Larry's race) My uncle Sandy was a Montana State Senator for many years; so I guess that was also someplace else I got the political bug. I did make it to the Brent Barton, John Kroger “Town Hall” Saturday and I left it with a feeling that A) I was invisible and B) I was at a republican central committee meeting. I did go to the CPBT E-Bd Tuesday and expressed my disappointment. I haven't changed my mind on Kroger, but after I got home I did get a call from Brent and he restored my faith in him. Because of one of the statements made by A.G. Kroger and his pride taken in the fact that he has a division that is totally staffed by volunteers he is a new member of my ZERO list; although I am sure he is NOT one of the unpaid volunteers. I do have a new voter registration card and if I fill it out maybe it will get me off of those dozens of mailing lists I am currently on. I am still waiting on Kaiser to check and see if my donut hole is plugged they took the forms and told me once they were “processed” I would get a “check in the mail”, less my regular deductible.(still waiting)

We have PUBLISHED AUTHOR in the family and I think she is only a few sales away from making the Clackamas County Review best seller list.

McCarthyism is back with a vengence.

PERSONAL

I awoke today at 7am today after 10+hrs of sleep to a 3 and I still have some pains from the 290 golf tourney Sunday. I took my am pills, and am deciding what to do today. I suppose I will start with checking my e-mail. I have had a bunch because of the golf and brother Mike came by to play som cribbage last night. The stand in Jimmy Judge tried mightily but couldn't quite carry us. We finished 7 under but just out of the money. Now for another strange coincidence. Our replacement golfer was Governor Judge mentioned in Sandy's obit. I got an email from his wife today and it appears he is hurting as much as I, I will be getting him some of my biofreeze that has really helped me with sore muscles. You can't get it in a store, just online, but I think you can find it on Ebay through our connection. Cousin Larry Pahut won his runoff spot for the Deer Lodge County Justice of the Peace with the most votes in a crowded field, so we will be keeping our good thoughts and prayers going for them both. (maybe nickles and dimes for Larry's race) My uncle Sandy was a Montana State Senator for many years; so I guess that was also someplace else I got the political bug. As I said before that my trip down to DMV last Tuesday was a waste and I did dig out my “passport” so I can get my drivers license renewed and will make that trip later. I also mentioned I planed to make it to the Brent Barton, John Kroger “Town Hall” Saturday and made it, I left it with a feeling that A) I was invisible and B) I was at a republican central committee meeting. I did go to the CPBT E-Bd yesterday and expressed my disappointment. I haven't changed my mind on Kroger, but after I got home I did get a call from Brent and he restored my faith in him. I imagine it is worth repeating that because I did not have my birth certificate or passport with my license renewal notice and the information I received over the phone, which said my Medicare card was enough, was wrong. Because of one of the statements made by A.G. Kroger and his pride taken in the fact that he has a division that is totally staffed by volunteers he is a new member of my ZERO list; although I am sure he is NOT one of the unpaid volunteers.
He told me that they changed the law in 2008 and I now must have a passport or birth certificate. I think the DMV works for the oil industry as it took two trips so far, about 30 miles of gas, but not B.P.. My 2 issues I wanted to discuss at the Brent Barton's “Town Hall” I have reported on already so the the new voter registration form that was available. If I fill it out maybe it will get me off of those dozens of mailing lists I am currently. I am still waiting on Kaiser to check and see if my donut hole is plugged they took the forms and told me once they were “processed” I would get a “check in the mail”, less my regular deductible.

God grant that I may live to fish until my dying day, And when it comes to my last cast, I then must humbly pray. When in the Lord's safe landing net I'm peacefully asleep,that in His mercy, I be judged............Good enough to keep.

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, the welcoming of Uncle Sandy into the house of the Lord, for the safe return of nephew Christopher from Afghanistan; good family friend Pat Percin, all those families suffering from those mine disasters in West Virginia and Kentucky, the coast residents of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida and Georgia (those Drill Baby Drill states); cousin Larry Pahut in his endeavor to become the Deer Lodge County Justice of the Peace; 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.”
Thank You, Mother Mary, for your help and assistance, especially for BRINGING DANIEL HOME SAFELY; for Brandee, whose pregnancy I understand is going well; and now those, NOW covered with Health Care.

I know I have been repeating things, maybe too much, on my blog; but some of this stuff I need to be reminded of and some of this stuff others need to be reminded of.

M.S., LDN and AMP REPORT

This is my attempt to keep track of my experiences with my LDN treatment for my Neurologist and his RN. So far with the 4.5mg, I think I'm noticeably better, especially since I am starting my day with it instead of finishing the day. I am experiencing better days and now that I'm doing the new dosage I am seeing a marked change. I have now been on that brand new FDA approved pill, Aminopyridine, even though I missed a few times, I am very pleased. It is supposed to be good for “gait” issues, even those with primary progressive. My B.P. was 132/77/56 at 4pm today. I think it's a little high right now because I am anticipating “The Rise of The New Right” Chris Mathews show.

POLITICAL

Am I the only one that sees a general connection between the “Tea Partiers”, the “Michigan Militia” and all the other CRAZIES out there to the “MANSON FAMILY” and Dick Army as the new Manson?

Has Joe McCarthy (50's rep) McCarthyism been reborn with breasts? (Michelle Backman, Sara Palin)

I watched the President's address last night and I was dissapointed; but I watched the B.P. people come out of the meeting today with the President and apologize and from what I heard what he got out of them; I was greatly impressed.

DO YOU THINK ALL THOSE PEOPLE IN THE GULF WAITING ON ALL THAT B.P. OIL TO COME ASHORE WOULD RATHER HAVE HAD AN L.N.G. PLANT? ( this is for all my Oregon Anti LNG readers)

COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS & CHARITIES

Denise Hutzenbieler is looking for help with her walk for Epilepsy on June 19th, THIS SATURDAY. Support EFNW - Eastbank side of waterfront park - The Northwest Run/Walk for Epilepsy benefits the Epilepsy Foundation Northwest and is a community fundraising walk. The organization provides uncompensated programs and services for people with epilepsy and seizure related conditions. Nearly 119,000 people in Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Montana have seizure related health issues, and the Epilepsy Foundation Northwest is the largest agency serving the needs of these communities so all will have better success in leading more productive and independent lives.

The American Rights at Work still needs help. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue. E.F.C.A. Especially in light of that mine disaster in West Virginia and those Rig explosions in the Gulf. I watched 60 minutes and as far as I am concerned, now that the Supreme Court has ruled that Corporations must be treated as regular people as far as “Campaign Finance is concerned” shouldn't they be treated as regular people when it comes to Murder or Manslaughter? If two or more people get together to plan and commit a crime isn't that a “conspiracy”; isn't that how they got the MOB?

HONOR THE STARS AND STRIPES EVERYDAY

PERSONAL

I awoke today at 6am today after 9+hrs of sleep to a 3- because I have some pains from the 290 golf tourney yesterday. I took my am pills, and am deciding what to do today. I suppose I will start with checking my e-mail. I probably have a few because of the golf yesterday. The stand in we got for brother Marty tried mightily but couldn't quite carry us. We finished 7 under but just out of the money. Now for another strange coincidence. Our replacement golfer was Jimmy Judge, a fitter I have known for many years and I knew he had relatives in Montana. He did just happen to be related to the Judge mentioned in uncle Sandy's obit. Cousin Larry Pahut won a runoff spot for the Deer Lodge County Justice of the Peace with the most votes in a crowded field, so we will be keeping our good thoughts and prayers going for them both. (maybe nickles and dimes for Larry's race) My uncle Sandy was a Montana State Senator for many years; so I guess that was also someplace else I got the political bug. As I said before that trip down to DMV last Tuesday was a waste and I did dig out my “passport” so I can get my drivers license renewed and will make the trip back tomorrow. I also mentioned I planed to make it to the Brent Barton, John Kroger “Town Hall” Saturday and made it, I left it with a feeling that A) I was invisible and B) I was at a republican central committee meeting. I did get another e-mail from nephew Christopher from Afghanistan and he seems well. I imagine it is worth repeating because, with my license renewal notice and the information I received over the phone, which was wrong. Has me thinking of one of the statements made by A.G. Kroger and his pride taken in the fact that he has a division that is totally staffed by volunteers; although I am sure he is NOT one of the unpaid volunteers.

Back to the DMV; on the phone they told me to bring my drivers license, the renewal notice and the signed paperwork from my neurologist for my handicap parking permit and my Medicare card. The manager at DMV (Powell) told me that because of the law change I also needed my birth certificate and or a passport, to PROVE I was a legal resident of this country. I hope this doesn't sound racist but at least ½ the people waiting appeared to be illegals and most of the information posted was in Spanish or Asian, and they seemed to get real joy out of my dilemma while I was talking to the DMV Manager. He told me that they changed the law in 2008 and I now must have a passport or birth certificate. I think the DMV works for the oil industry as it took two trips so far, about 30 miles of gas. My 2 issues to discuss at the Brent Barton's “Town Hall” I have reported on already so I think that I will get another form that should be availableat DMV tommorrow. If I fill it out maybe it will get me off of those dozens of mailing lists I am currently on. I am still waiting on Kaiser to check and see if my donut hole is plugged they took the forms and told me once they were “processed” I would get a “check in the mail”, less my regular deductible.

We have PUBLISHED AUTHOR in the family and I think she is only a few sales away from making the Clackamas County Review best seller list. If you check on the picture here on the front page it should take you to where you can order it. Until she started writing that cookbook I never realized how many people needed Gluten Free food. I also have another book to recommend. “The Opposite Field” by Jessie Katz. I would encourage anyone who likes Baseball, in particular little league, to get that book. I am on chapter 6 and it has been a really good read so far.

I am still asking you all to send that Arena information off to all the Duck Alumni you can find but based on what I heard Saturday it will be falling on deaf ears. Cousins Bobbie and Dan need to know that, from what I got out of the U of O testimony was that, that bribery scheme to come up with the low bidders was reminiscent to me of the Gotti Family in New York. I guess since I have had sooo much time to sit in front of the T.V. since I retired, and watched too many “Sapranno's” I may be a little jaded, but I think Frohnmayer and most of those in the phony construction management firm on the U. of O. Arena, if they were engineering majors at Oregon, I'm thinking their minors were T.V. and/or Movie making; although I didn't notice any “goodfella's” at the hearing? They spent a lot of time talking about “In Kind donations” being the difference between the LOW BID and the #2, if it sounds like bribery and it looks like bribery is it a duck?

There will be a few changes in my Hero, Zero and Evil lists, I hope you all notice. Listening to the U. of O. representatives, it appeared to me that they not only scammed the State of Oregon but also ALL their Alumni. I suggest that you all try to find this hearing on the State of Oregon Website and read the testimony. As I understand it there will be at least a few more hearings on these mess's. What was it by the way, that Dave Frohnmeyer did before he went to the U of O. I really didn't think the U of O is ANTI-UNION, but it sure appears they are now. I guess I'm too old now but I do remember a time I worked with both Cecil and Wayne Drinkward of Hoffman, who built a great construction company, and while we did not always agree on stuff their word WAS their bond and even they wouldn't come up with such a scam.

NEPHEW CHRISTOPHER IS IN AFGHANISTAN STILL; thank you for your service and you are in our prayers.

We think nephew Rhyon has made it back, at least as far as Hawaii.

Cousin Larry Pahut's run off election in November will also need more help. I will say thank you to any and all that helped. That would be a picture of his grandfather there on the right, John L. Monahan, L for Larry? His sister, Patty Ann Sullivan is his Campaign Manager and must have done a fine job. I actually did send him a check, and saw that it had been cashed and would ask all to give what they can. (campaign H.Q. Are 400 Spruce, Anaconda, Montana 59711) Based on the fact he is in a run off they will probably still need more funds.

Even though Sandy wasn't so much a fisherman I am sure he is in the net.

God grant that I may live to fish until my dying day, And when it comes to my last cast, I then must humbly pray. When in the Lord's safe landing net I'm peacefully asleep,that in His mercy, I be judged............Good enough to keep.

Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”
Thank You, Mother Mary, for your help and assistance, especially for BRINGING DANIEL HOME SAFELY; for Brandee, whose pregnancy I understand is going well; and now those, NOW covered with Health Care.

I think it's a little high because the “Big Ed” show is on and he showed that Bloomberg from New York defending B.P. over the Gulf.

CONGRATULATIONS LARRY AND THANK YOU UNCLE SANDY FOR YOUR EXAMPLE

PERSONAL
I awoke today at 5:45am today after 10+hrs of sleep to a 3-. I took my am pills, and am deciding what to do today. I suppose I will start with checking my e-mail. I probably have a few because yesterday I got some really good news and some bad news. Bad news first, I got a phone call that my uncle Sandy passed away yesterday and now there are only 3 of dads siblings left I think. Katherine, Jaunita, and Dorthy. The good news is cousin Larry Pahut won a runoff spot for the Deer Lodge County Justice of the Peace with the most votes in a crowded field, so we will be keeping our good thoughts and prayers going for them both. My uncle Sandy was a Montana State Senator for many years; so I guess that was also someplace else I got the political bug.

Those Republican's in D.C. Keep talking about the disaster in the Gulf; the oil spill, as an act of God that couldn't be helped. Do they really believe that God has an office at British Petroleum? I remember them taking that oppressive action when they were pissed at the French by renaming French fries in the Capital Cafeteria's to “Freedom Fries”! Now with that oil spill what are we going to call english muffins?

Congratulations to all who will be graduating this year/month. Michael Ross's Courtney, Daniel's Cody, Jo Ann's Twins, and the many I have probably missed.

The following is my wish for all of you:

****Thank You Mary Ellen****
May love and laughter light your days
And warm your heart and homes
May good and faithful friends be yours wherever you may roam
May peace and plenty bless your world with joy that long endures
May all life's passing seasons bring the best to you and yours

Whether you attend a church service, a Mosque, GLBT gathering, or Synagogue service, please say a prayer that God; yours, mine or ours; keeps our service men and women in the Palm of their hand.

EPILEPSY WALK, JUNE 19TH

PERSONAL
I awoke today at 7am today after 10+hrs of sleep to a 3-. I took my am pills, I went down to DMV yesterday with my license renewal notice and the information I received over the phone was wrong. On the phone they told me to bring my drivers license, the renewal notice and the signed paperwork from my neurologist for my handicap parking permit and my Medicare card. The manager at DMV told me that because of the law change I also needed my birth certificate and or a passport, to PROVE I was a legal resident of this country. I hope this doesn't sound racist but at least ½ the people waiting appeared to be illegals and most of the information posted was in Spanish or Asian, and they seemed to get real joy out of my dilemma while I was talking to the DMV Manager. He told me that they changed the law in 2008 and I now must have a passport or birth certificate. I did call Kaiser to check and see if my donut hole is plugged, they took the forms and told me once it was “processed” I would get a “check in the mail”, less my regular deductible. I think the DMV works for the oil industry as it took two trips so far, about 30 miles of gas. I now have 2 issues to discuss at the Brent Barton “Town Hall”.

We have PUBLISHED AUTHOR in the family and I think she is only a few sales away from making the Clackamas County Review best seller list. If you check on the picture here on the front page it should take you to where you can order it. Until she started writing that cookbook I never realized how many people needed Gluten Free food. I also have another book to recommend. “The Opposite Field” by Jessie Katz. I would encourage anyone who likes Baseball, in particular little league, to get that book. I am on chapter 6 and it has been a really good read so far.

I am still asking you all to send that Arena information off to all the Duck Alumni you can find. Cousins Bobbie and Dan need to know that, from what I got out of the U of O testimony was that, that bribery scheme to come up with the low bidders was reminiscent to me of the Gotti Family in New York. I guess since I have had sooo much time to sit in front of the T.V. since I retired, and watched too many “Sapranno's” I may be a little jaded, but I think Frohnmayer and most of those in the phony construction management firm on the U. of O. Arena, if they were engineering majors at Oregon, I'm thinking their minors were T.V. and/or Movie making; although I didn't notice any “goodfella's” at the hearing? They spent a lot of time talking about “In Kind donations” being the difference between the LOW BID and #2, if it sounds like bribery and it looks like bribery is it a duck?

There is a new addition to the “ZERO” list, Sports related also. Listening to the U. of O. representatives, it appeared to me that they not only scammed the State of Oregon but also ALL their Alumni. I suggest that you all try to find this hearing on the State of Oregon Website and read the testimony. As I understand it there will be at least a few more hearings on these mess's. What was it by the way, that Dave Frohnmeyer did before he went to the U of O. I really didn't think the U of O is ANTI-UNION, but it sure appears they are now. I guess I'm too old now but I do remember a time I worked with both Cecil and Wayne Drinkward of Hoffman, who built a great construction company, and while we did not always agree on stuff their word WAS their bond and even they wouldn't come up with such a scam.

NEPHEW CHRISTOPHER IS IN AFGHANISTAN STILL; thank you for your service and you are in our prayers.

We think nephew Rhyon has made it back, at least as far as Hawaii.

Cousin Larry Pahut's election was yesterday for Justice of the Peace in Deer Lodge County. I will say thank you to any and all that helped. That would be a picture of his grandfather there on the right, John L. Monahan, L for Larry? His sister, Patty Ann Sullivan is his Campaign Manager and we became face book friends. I actually did send him a check, and saw that it had been cashed and would ask all to give what they can. (campaign H.Q. Are 400 Spruce, Anaconda, Montana 59711) Based on my experience with Judi's attempt at getting elected, they will probably still need some funds, weather he wins or looses.

God grant that I may live to fish until my dying day, And when it comes to my last cast, I then must humbly pray. When in the Lord's safe landing net I'm peacefully asleep,that in His mercy, I be judged............Good enough to keep.

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 the safe return of nephew Christopher from Afghanistan; good family friend Pat Percin, all those families suffering from those mine disasters in West Virginia and Kentucky, the coast residents of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida and Georgia (those Drill Baby Drill states); cousin Larry Pahut in his endeavor to become the Deer Lodge County Justice of the Peace; 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.”
Thank You, Mother Mary, for your help and assistance, especially for BRINGING DANIEL HOME SAFELY; for Brandee, whose pregnancy I understand is going well; and now those, NOW covered with Health Care.

I know I have been repeating things, maybe too much, on my blog; but some of this stuff I need to be reminded of and some of this stuff others need to be reminded of.

M.S., LDN and AMP REPORT

This is my attempt to keep track of my experiences with my LDN treatment for my Neurologist and his RN. So far with the 4.5mg, I think I'm noticeably better, especially since I am starting my day with it instead of finishing the day. I am experiencing better days and now that I'm doing the new dosage I am seeing a marked change. I have now been on that brand new FDA approved pill, Aminopyridine, even though I missed a few times, I am very pleased. It is supposed to be good for “gait” issues, even those with primary progressive. My B.P. was 139/75/54 at 8:50am today. And I haven't even checked the DOW yet.

COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS & CHARITIES

Denise Hutzenbieler is looking for help with her walk for Epilepsy on June 19th. I hope I don't miss it.
Support EFNW - Eastbank side of waterfront park - The Northwest Run/Walk for Epilepsy benefits the Epilepsy Foundation Northwest and is a community fundraising walk. The organization provides uncompensated programs and services for people with epilepsy and seizure related conditions. Nearly 119,000 people in Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Montana have seizure related health issues, and the Epilepsy Foundation Northwest is the largest agency serving the needs of these communities so all will have better success in leading more productive and independent lives.

The American Rights at Work still needs help. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue. E.F.C.A. Especially in light of that mine disaster in West Virginia and those Rig explosions in the Gulf. I watched 60 minutes and as far as I am concerned, now that the Supreme Court has ruled that Corporations must be treated as regular people as far as “Campaign Finance is concerned” shouldn't they be treated as regular people when it comes to Murder or Manslaughter? If two or more people get together to plan and commit a crime isn't that a “conspiracy”; isn't that how they got the MOB?

"THE OPPOSITE FIELD" by Jessie Katz

PERSONAL

I awoke today at 7am today after 10+hrs of sleep to a 3+. I took my am pills, I have moved the Low Dose Naltroxone (LDN) to the Morning and I think that it is helping. I joined in with the President's town hall on Medicare and it was quite informative, I made a couple of comments and I actually was challenged on one of my statements. I will be called Kaiser this morning to check and see if my donut hole is plugged and if my Neurologist filled out my drivers license and handicap permit? I did get a call from Kaiser and my permit license is ready and I will head down and pick it up and head over to DMV.

PERSONAL
I awoke today at 7:45am today after 8+hrs of sleep to a 2+. I took my am pills, I have moved the Low Dose Naltroxone (LDN) to the Morning as I had been forgetting to take it just before bed time and I think that it is helping. I am going to repeat the question of the day is for brother Marty. The HOV Lanes on the freeway were established to save gas by encouraging car pooling. It took me an hour and 10 minutes to get from Sunnyside to the Airport on the 205. I spoke with brother Mike and he came south across the I-5 at about the same time with as much of a jam up as I. While there is ALL that construction on both bridges; having the HOV lanes actually uses probably 5+ times the gas. That will probably make all those bicyclists happy, especially now that we are building more “bike lanes” and that “Sierra Club Stacy” might get the “RIGHT BRIDGE” he will build. 10 bicycle lanes !

We now have PUBLISHED AUTHOR in the family. If you check on the picture here on the front page it should take you to where you can order it. I will also try to put a link in the body of my blog. And if you order it from the picture, she not only gets the sale but I get that big commission, 5 to 10 cents maybe.

If two or more people get together to plan and commit a crime isn't that a “conspiracy”; isn't that how they got the MOB?

Congratulations to all who will be graduating this year/month. Michael Ross's Courtney, Daniel's Cody, Jo Ann's Twins, and the many I have probably missed.

The following is my wish for all of you:

****Thank You Mary Ellen****
May love and laughter light your days
And warm your heart and homes
May good and faithful friends be yours wherever you may roam
May peace and plenty bless your world with joy that long endures
May all life's passing seasons bring the best to you and yours

Whether you attend a church service, a Mosque, GLBT gathering, or Synagogue service, please say a prayer that God; yours, mine or ours; keeps our service men and women in the Palm of their hand.

Mike; My blog is 4 pages, just over 1,800 words today, I think. I'll see you next time on my blog.
