Merry Christmas

The season can be very challenging for everyone, whether we are with our families or alone. We miss the people who are no longer with us. and those who can't come home. And it's nice to include friend's who are alone. Please remember the troops overseas and the families who can't be with them. I hope that your holidays are filled with joy, peace and blessings, and that the coming year will be truly wonderful for you.

Merry Christmas

Kevin Sutherland, 45, arrested in Salt Lake City for downloading child porn, says he’s innocent, in that he personally disapproves of child porn but that his shrink says he has multiple-personality disorder and that one of those MPD inhabitants happens to be a teenage boy who likes to look at nekkid pictures of teenage girls.


Least Competent (1) Australian model: She screamed hysterically at a riverside park in Adelaide, "Where’s my baby! Someone’s stolen my baby!" Turns out the 5-month-old’s buggy had rolled into the river when mom got distracted by a cell phone call. By the way, the story did not end well. IDIOT!


(2) Gov’t Agency: That would be the Pentagon’s Guantanamo operation, in that the Associated Press has found, for instance, that the Afghanistan gov’t couldn’t come up with anything to charge the 80-plus Afghans with who were supposedly dangerous enemy combatants when the Pentagon finally shipped them back home. The same was true of about 120 others who were returned to their countries.

Really shocking!

More than 500 accidental electrocutions were reported in Russia last year from people stealing power line electrical cables for resale as scrap metal. According to an April New York Times dispatch, more than 15,000 miles of power lines have been pulled down in recent years, rendering millions of households dark for weeks at a time. One recent victim, interviewed in intensive care, said he was confident when he saw a single line left on a pole, believing that thieves had taken the other lines safely; he is now without his left arm, right leg and colon.

Cheers!

Ice Storm

Just one small pile of limbs......
And
Our shed post storm....









Been a long week!

Good News / Bad News:

I have been without power for a week now. We had an ice storm from hell!! Where I live and 13 other counties have been declared state of disaster. My backyard is a mess 2 large hickory trees that were there are mere stubs... like 2 toothpicks sticking up form the ice covered ground. Our shed which held lawn equipment and the boys' bikes looks like a pancake- smashed by large branches. I miss my warm comfy waterbed, which we couldnt use without power. I will be so glad when things get back to normal!


I will leave you with this story.....





Stevie Long, 4, was successful in scaring off two home invaders who had been holding a gun on his mother, her boyfriend, and four children; Stevie had quietly excused himself, put on his Mighty Morphin Power Ranger outfit, grabbed a plastic sword, and then burst on the scene, yelling, "Get away from my family!" The startled men fled empty-handed. The bad news is that a counselor, after talking to Stevie, said that the kid "fully believed he morphed" into the Power Ranger.
