AUGUST 25, 2012
I haven't posted for five day's “because I went up to the mountain”, for Kara and Andrew's Wedding! I slept late today again and awoke at 9am, and awoke to a 1+, after 8+- hours of tough sleep, because last night was a late night and my scooter was not the only one to run out of juice, and the noise of the “air conditioner” and it seemed like the room was just under 55 degrees. It was, in my estimation the most wonderful celebration you could ever imagine. It may seem hard to imagine but we have even MORE wonderful Irish family members. took my am pills (11) at 8:30am. I just took my at B.P. At 1:30pm and it was 140/78/60. I took my energy drink at about 9:30am, we had breakfast on the mountain with Danni, Parvin and brother Mike. It was wonderful to see family that I have not seen in way too long and now with the inclusion of the O'Sullivan clan, who came close too or maybe even did, outnumber the Mehrens', Monahan's, Kloker's and Pahut's. I actually “danced” at her wedding, and never fell down. And still, PROPAGANDA OUT;, PHILOSOPHY IN. I think loosening up the new Velcro on my brace is working so good and that it helps me get to the 2+'s, and It did make a difference in my “dancing”.
I am still working on correcting mistakes, AND NOT ALL OF THESE ARE MINE YOU KNOW!
IT STILL APPEARS I NEED AN ELECTRICIAN AS THE POWER IN THE KITCHEN IS STILL GONE :-( .
POLITICAL:
I did get an e mail from Senator
Merkley that he has introduced a bill that would get Home Mortgages
interest rates down to 4%, but he also knows that the Republican
controlled house will be holding it hostage until Millionaires get a
tax break for all they earn over $250,000, as soon as I get a bill
number I will report on it here.
I
must also say we have much to do before the November elections, but I
will also say, as a life-long Democrat; it does appear we will have a
real coordinated campaign this year, and from what everyone is
saying, we better. THANK YOU ASHLEY.
You can view the details of any event by going to: https://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/gps2mb !
I also received a
fundraiser letter from Congressman Schrader and I will put his e mail
address in here so you can help fight the “Rove Billions” ! And
sign his petition to get us out of Afghanistan.
And I also understand his lawn signs are ready.
Philosophy:
FROM MY FATHER:
IF YOU TELL YOURSELF A STORY LONG ENOUGH, YOU WILL HAVE YOURSELF BELIEVING IT; I AM NO LONGER A SMOKER !
No matter how bad you
think things are for you, and it pains me to say it, but; it's worse
for many others, right here in the so-called “richest” country in
the world.
IF WE CONTINUE TO BUY IMPORTS, WHERE
WILL OUR CHILDREN WORK? That is a great bumper sticker, and they
should be
available. for a slight donation; at both the Labor Day and 290
picnics; to help raise funds for L.C.S.A. And the Local 290 Member
assistance programs.
I will put the prayers I
have been posting again right here up front again, especially for
sister Danni, Uncle Hank and now brother Gil.
And thank you all for Rhyon,
Christopher, cousin
Amy, cousin Brandee and now, nephew Rhett..
“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”
Prayer to St. Jude for
Eternal Life
You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.
My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephews Steve & Daniel, cousin Dennis, sister Mary and Aunt Mary, Uncle Hank, brother Gil and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon, Brandee, Amy and Rhett, and all in need, and the repose of the souls of cousin Dan Monahan's sister-in-law, Patricia, Nephew-in-law Mike Schostek's dad and Brother Brian Zettlow's dad. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”
I did return the book to the church
library, “BECOMING MORE LIKE CHRIST”; it is a basic guide to
daily prayer and meditation and it has been uncanny in the assistance
it has given me almost daily. I still think all those, so called,
Christians in congress, especially V.P. Candidate Paul Ryan; could
use a copy of that book!
I BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST
WAS THE FIRST “TRUE” COMMUNIST, BECAUSE I BELIEVE HE WAS THE
FIRST TO SAY; EVERYTHING “BELONGS” TO EVERYONE. In that same
vain, doesn't that include healthcare?
ARE “ALL” WOMEN & UNION
MEMBERS THAT ARE REPUBLICANS JUST STUPID ?”
(rhetorical question), THAT MEANS, I
KNOW THE ANSWER.
COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS &
CHARITIES:
The American Rights at Work still needs help; now more than ever. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue, The President?, and our two Senators haven't; E.F.C.A. And based on what I have been seeing and hearing, the Republicans have Organized Labor directly in their cross hairs and picking Paul Ryan means they are locked and loaded.
UNION REPORT:
IT WAS A VERY GOOD TO SEE THE MEMBERS THAT MADE KARA'S WEDDING AND I DO HOPE OUR VICE PRESIDENT IS GETTING BETTER. LOCAL 290 WILL HAVE A SECTION AT THE OAKS PARK LABOR DAY PICNIC AND I WAS TOLD YESTERDAY THEY HAVE OVER 400 SIGNED UP.
AND THEY ARE STILL LOOKING FOR A WELD SHOP FOREMAN, AND I MUST SAY, I AGREED WITH BROTHER DON CARTER THAT MAYBE PUTTING A FEW MORE HOURS ON THE CHECK MAY HELP.
BROTHER JEFF LYLES DID GET ON MY BLOG, AND I DID PUT THE LINK TO HIS PETITION IN HERE (Will you sign his petition? Click here to add your name; I did:http://signon.org/sign/people-on-social-security?source=c.fwd&r_by=1761362
Thanks! Jeff
We need to remember Brother Jimmy Walters, Brother Bill Edens (who looked pretty good at the retiree meeting); and Brother Sonny Newsom who are recovering from surgeries and a prayer for Brother Jim Zettlow who lost his battle with Mesothelioma, and brothers Dennis Hutzenbieler and brother Gil Freeland for their speedy and successful recoveries; so please add them to your prayers, and the families of Brothers Jack Sundstrom and Jim Zettlow.
SPORTS:
THE OLYMPICS STARTED AND WE HAD ONE OF OUR OWN, AN OREGONIAN GOLD MEDALIST; LEADING THE U.S.A. DELEGATION. U.S.A. U.S.A. ALSO I THINK candidate ro-money got the President a few more votes at the opening ceremony, and I think they agreed on Face The Nation this morning; and why do you suppose all those liberal TV and radio personalities love to bring up the fact that England, France, Germany and most of the rest of the enlightened world has free health care but forget to tell people they also have government's that SUPPORT unions, could one be tied to the other ?
I AM MORE OF AN AMERICAN LEAGUE FAN, ORIOLES & MARINERS, BUT I MUST SAY THE NATIONAL LEAGUE WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE WITH THAT ALL STAR WIN.
IT IS TOUGH BEING A MARINERS FAN, THEY STILL REALLY NEED SOME RUN SUPPORT, AND IT SURE WILL BE HARDER NOW THAT THE YANKEE'S HAVE STOLEN ICHIRO, even with that perfect game picture Felix ! But they do seem to be on a roll.
CARROLL COLLEGE SAINTS VS PSU VIKINGS THIS WEEKEND, GO SAINTS !
