Wow! It's hard to believe a
week has slipped by and I haven't put up more updates here... I must try
to rectify that... I promise..
It was a cloudy but otherwise beautiful day here today in Central
Pennsylvania. The temps were in the high 70s and humidity wasn't bad at all...
Just enough that we didn't have to turn the air conditioners on. I was just
out on the back deck until it got too dark to work.. I didn't mind the
dark, as I was working on my laptop, as much as I did the skeeters, as they
were starting to eat me alive, and I thought I'd better come in here to the
office to finish out the day...
I spent about 2 hours out there trying to get a decent stock ticker that I
could download and put on one of my web pages. I found one that I liked pretty
good and I downloaded this program and uploaded that program to the server and
put this and that into the html code and I still couldn't get the darn thing
to work right. So after two wasted hours I'm back to square one... Heck
I should have just did some writing here on my blog and I'd be done with it
now.. However, if I did that, I wouldn't be enjoying updating it now.. Yes, I
do like to write in this blog. You wouldn't believe it as I don't get it
uploaded as much as I should and as much as I want to.. Oh well, I'll
try to make more time for it. After all, I must take some time once and awhile
to relax and enjoy myself as well as trying to get work done all the time...
*********************************
A heck of a lot has happened over the past week, it's hard to know where
to begin... Well, for starters, little Paris is out of the "big house" and
back on the streets... Or I should say, back at her mansion, but apparently
that's only temporary as I understand that to celebrate her release she is
going to move into a new mansion!
This is after she announced that she learned so much in prison. One thing was
more about regular people... Yeah, Paris, we all have mansions, just
like you... When I get depressed I always move to a new mansion to bring
me out of my doldrums, that's for sure...
Well, she only spent a little less than half the time somewhere near or around
the prison so it really did surprise me and I'll have to admit that I was
wrong... I was sure she would be out in a few days...
I've heard of people in the "big house" getting religion already to help them
face their problems and help them face the hard time that they must serve.
Apparently religion has helped many a "hard timer" get through his time
without losing his mind.
Yes, and Paris went the same way. All the time she spent in jail, she too,
found religion. She said it has changed her life.. I don't know how, but I'm
sure that Paris really thinks it has.. Maybe she read that it was the thing to
do when you are in prison and that it's HOT!
At any rate, NBC, dropped out of the million dollar deal to be the first to
interview Paris when she was released. I think probably because they were
ashamed of themselves.. That was a very stupid move on their part for
sure.....
So, who else but Larry King, carried the banner and got the interview with
Paris... I listened to some of it, until I just could not stand the
boredom any more and had to switch the channel to something else...
I'm afraid that Paris' life is just not that interesting to me. Beyond her
getting special treatment from the system as she is some kind of celebrity,
I'm not sure how just yet, and all of them get special treatment far and
beyond what us peons get, she just happened along at the right time when it
hit me that I had to write about how money and fame WILL buy you anything, and
especially happiness.. I've heard all my life that money will not buy
happiness.... and that's just a bunch of bull..
I know that if I had to go to jail or not to go to jail, I would be a lot
happier if I didn't have to..
It's like Lindsey Lohan a few weeks ago smacked up her Mercedes and hit a
curb. Besides being drunk, a small, "usable" (whatever that means), amount of
a substance thought to be cocaine was also found in the car during a search,
they added. (Yeah, like the cops out their are too stupid to know if that
"substance" was coke or not!)
The actress, who spent time in a rehabilitation center in January, was
arrested but NOT held in custody.
Now, let's just stop right there, if this 20 year old wasn't rich and famous,
do you think that she would have been arrested and taken directly to jail? Not
passing GO and not collecting $200? Darn right she would have, just like if it
was you or I...
Two other people were also in the car with Lohan when the incident occurred,
though no other vehicles were involved, police said. Geez..... If I were
one of the policeman who was there, I'd be ashamed of myself.... I'd be
ashamed to say that we left someone who was driving drunk and was in
possession of cocaine loose without arresting her and taking her to the police
station... What a ball of crap... Yeah, don't tell me that money
don't buy happiness.... Like I said earlier, I know, I'd be happier out
of jail, than I'd be in jail and that's a fact!
She's been caught drunk so many times that if that would be you or I, we'd be
in jail and probably wouldn't see daylight for a long, long time!
I don't know how the law is where you are, but if you are driving and drinking
here in Pennsylvania, the cops take you right to jail.....
***********************************
Gasoline has went down in our area just a few cents and is hanging in the high
two dollars.... closer to three bucks really. Not, at the moment, going up or
down..... I'm sure they could be putting it down, but I think the gas
stations are waiting for it to go back up again. They just HATE to lower the
price of gasoline... When it starts to go up, they jump up to 10¢ a day, but I
never see it going down that fast... They, the big oil companies don't
even bother to make excuses anymore.... They just sit back and get
fatter, and fatter.... I would just love to see their ship spring a leak
and they start to sink..... I'm sure no one would toss them a life raft,
that's for sure.
I hope they start making real progress on the new discoveries like making sea
water burn etc, and really put a hurting on our big, hoggish, oil companies,
and the Arabs that just love to "stick it to us." Yep, now that would be a
very nice Christmas present for us all!
*************************************
 You can tell that Summer has
finally arrived here in Central Pennsylvania as the very first day of Summer,
officially, our tiger lilies along the bank, toward the river, started to
bloom. They grow wild, but boy are they ever pretty.... I just wish that
they would last longer before they lose their posies and stop blooming again
until next year.
I took one picture standing back a bit to show you that they are covering most
of  the bank toward the
river. Then I took a second picture, up, much closer to give you a better idea
of just how beautiful they are... Yes, I don't care what we create as
humans, but will never be able to create things any more beautiful than mother
nature has.
The only thing with mother nature is, all of the insects....
But I'll have to dig out some of my insect pictures for another post...
To be honest with you, I think that a lot of insects, really up close, are
actually beautiful... It's just that they are so darn ugly that most of them,
really "creep me out!"
That's really why I can't understand that I like lobster tails and shrimp so
much... Heck let's face it, all they really are, are sea bugs! Just a big
bunch of insects that happen to live in the ocean. Yikes, it's really
something what we put in our bodies, isn't it? The odd thing is, that they are
actually good for us. At least most of them are....
Sometimes it some of the stuff that we eat them with that are NOT good for us,
like that delicious butter that we dip the lobster in, Um.... Ummmmmm...
That sure as heck isn't good for us, but heck the sea bugs are, as they are
chocked full of protein, but then so are earthworms and ants too.... Hmmmmmm....
Maybe I'd better start rethinking these darn sea bugs.......
************************************
SOME STUFF FOR MY MAIL ORDER/MLM/HOMEBUSINESS FRIENDS
Those of you that have your own home businesses, and to those of you who would
like to have them, here is a GREAT little tip about a program that should
really be able to make you a VERY nice monthly commission check...
I like it so much that not only have I joined, but I've placed Betty in it as
well... Now, Betty doesn't do anything to work the programs other than
help me with mailings etc., but this program is being promoted with such ease,
she won't have to work it. All I'll have to do is mail some postcards out to
prospects in her name...
All of the "selling" of the program is done by a guy that runs a downline
builder for the program... and get this, this guy is just an average Joe...
He's a coal miner that works in West Virginia...
All you have to do is mail post cards. The prospect calls a toll FREE 800
number to listen to a 3 minute message that explains the program. Then they
let their name, phone number and a good time for Milton to call them back...
I called one night and Milton called me the next morning before he went to
work in the mines...
NOW get this, the program is only a $12 a month program! That's right, hard to
believe, but this small $12 a month program can pay, with a 6 X 7 matrix
$294,915.00 a month! Nope, that's NOT a misprint.... It's hard to
believe that you could make that much from a small $12 program but it is
possible as I have studied and restudied the matrix and payout structure and I
am VERY impressed. Believe me, it takes a lot these days to impress me.. Only
6 people in your first level puts you at "break even>"
Milton has started a downline builder where he calls all of the prospects that
you get for him by mailing your postcards and signs them into the program at
no cost to you!
Milton tells me that he's well on his way to working his way out of the coal
mines and by golly I've jumped on his "band wagon" as I really believe him!
Milton will convince you as well... Just call and talk to him..
For the 3 minute call to hear Milton talk about the program call this toll
free number any time of the day: 1-800-242-0363 and extension 8484. When you
let your message, give him my name and ID number Chuck Rollason - #181
You can sign up right now under me by going to my website at:
http://chucks.jerkydirect.com
You can also see Milton's web site and hear him there as well by clicking
here: www.digcoal.com
These days, 12 bucks a month is almost nothing.. 2 packs of cigarettes?
3 gallons of gas? A couple of cups of coffee at Starbucks?...
Put $12 bucks a month to work for you and join me build a very nice commission
check by Christmas.... Yes, I figure by Christmas, if we all start now,
we should have a pretty darn good monthly commission check coming in!
Email me and let me know if you join.... I want to make sure you get off
to a good start...
OH! There is one thing that I haven't mentioned as of yet... I have not
received any supplies to begin promoting this program as of yet... I
WILL be promoting this program VERY heavily. I will be investing a lot of time
and money in printing and postage... If you want to get up as close to me as
possible, then join this program NOW and get my "spill over"... You have a
good chance of getting on my first level... I have 5 positions left...
Betty is in one.
Join NOW and get a jump on this thing... Call Milton.... Check out his
site... Take the time for this one as it will be worth it to you....
Believe me!

Well, it's getting really late here on a Friday evening.

Another fantastic day here
in Central Pennsylvania. Low humidity and fairly low temperatures. Just one
beautiful day.
***********************************
Paris Hilton gets her "get out of Jail Card" tomorrow, already... Boy, those
40 some days went awfully fast, didn't they? Yes, I know she only spent 20 and
actually not many of those, if any, were actually in the cell that she was
assigned to.
It's reported that NBC has offered her 1 million dollars to be able to
interview her first after she leaves jail. Now, earlier this evening, I heard
that they "pulled" that offer, so I'm not sure if that's true or not...
Well, lets face it, if anyone needs another million dollars, it's the Hilton
family, right? Yeah right!
She was originally sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating her probation in
an alcohol-related reckless driving case. Then she was released almost
immediately to electronically monitored house arrest, saying that she had an
undisclosed medical condition and that she would be better off to "serve" her
time at home, in her mansion.
The next day, her sentencing judge, who had specifically barred Hilton from
house arrest, ordered her to court and returned her back to jail, or that was
what we were led to believe....
Actually she did go back to the jail for a few minutes and was then carted off
to an un-named hospital for care and evaluation. I'm not sure how long she was
there, but at least several days and then she was returned to the regular jail
house, but NOT to her cell. She went to the other end of the complex to the
hospital ward as she was so distraught they had to keep her under
surveillance.
I'm really not sure if she EVER spent any time in the jail cell that was
originally assigned to her and I'm sure we'll probably NEVER find out.
Although her sentence was for 45 days, authorities have said all along that
with time off for good behavior and because of crowded jail conditions Hilton
was likely to serve only 23 days. Tuesday is supposed to mark the 24th day
since she "surrendered" following an appearance at the MTV Movie Awards..
You know what gets me..... "Time off for good behavior."
What behavior? She probably didn't even spend any time in her cell. How could
she misbehave?
As far as I'm concerned, it's just another way of saying that we have a rich
girl here and we're going to let her go back home to her mansion.
Heck, I really don't blame them... She's more darn trouble than she's worth!
The Hospital facility that she was spending most of the time in when she WAS
in the jail complex was costing them over $1,000 a day to keep her in it
opposed to the $99 a day for the average prisoner that actually spent their
"time" in the jail cell where they were supposed to be.. You know, the
people who are NOT rich and famous.
Yeah, if I was them, and she was costing me 10 times more than the average
prisoner, I'd sent her butt home as well...
They may as well give her driver's license back and let her drive any way she
wants to... They're doing that now, they just don't openly admit to it. It
would be cheaper and a heck of a lot less trouble to just assign her a police
escort every time she wants to drive somewhere to keep her from running into
and over people, pets, and children.
Yes, poor Paris, is ready to get out of "Jail" (Ha!), and go back home to her
quaint, little, mansion. (That's good for all involved!) After
all, this entire fiasco did nothing more than bring her more fame than she
even had before... Who else have you ever heard of NBC offering $1 million
dollars to for an interview?
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that Hugh Hefner from "Playboy Magazine", has
offered her a million dollars as well to pose nude. Yeah, I'm sure the people
would pay to buy that magazine to see Paris nude when they can see her do much
more than that on the Internet for FREE!!! Is the Paris saga over? I'm
sure it's NOT!
***********************************
 Betty's grandson and his
wife stopped in at our cottage the other day to let their car here while they
took a trip with some others to Atlantic City for some kind of Police seminar.
Well, it turned out that on the way down to our place form upstate
Pennsylvania, where Mike is a policeman, that they had car trouble and they
had to stop and pick up a car at
Mike's sister's, Betty's granddaughter, and drive that one here...
 It's a Mustang "muscle"
car. A convertible, "rag top", whatever.... Mike said before he left,
there's 3/4 of a tank of gas in it, go ahead and run it...
Well, being from the old school I know that if I "run" someone else's car,
sure enough something will happen to it an I'll end up having to pay for
something that I can not afford...
It is certainly a very nice looking car and as I looked at it the
last day it was here, I
said to Betty, what the heck, let's at least take it for a spin down to the
post office. It is a 5 speed, standard transmission and boy it really
winds up fast... It's practically new with only 14,000 miles on it and
it handled just fine... The only real problem for us is that's its too close
to the ground... With my bad hip, I need a "shoe horn" to get into the darn
thing and Betty doesn't bend the way she used to either, so I guess we're
better off with our Jeep Cherokee. Now that is just about the right
height and we can step right into that.. You can see the Jeep in the
background in the pictures...
I think I would have enjoyed a car like this much more say about 30 years
ago... 5 speed, stick.... heck I don't even like sticks anymore... I
like a good shifting automatic transmission now days.... Yes, a car such
as this would be wasted on a guy like me. I don't even have to mention
about what Betty thinks about it... All I heard out of her is yes, it rides
nice, but let's just make sure we keep the Jeep!
Actually the only car that I've seen lately that REALLY turns me on, besides a
Hummer is the new Jeep Commando and that kind of looks a lot like a smaller
Hummer....
However, I'd never buy another one like that.... From now on, I'm going with
practicality. If I buy another car, it will either be a hybrid or an all
electric car... I only say that as I don't think that I'll live long
enough to see them make practical solar cars.
However, I may live long enough to see them manufacture that car that runs on
water.... That's what I NOW consider cool... Not the rag top Mustang
above.....
Wow! Guess I am getting old!
************************************
SOME STUFF FOR MY MAIL ORDER/MLM/HOMEBUSINESS FRIENDS
Those of you that are thinking about a home mail order business keep in mind
that if you will be dealing in mail order programs and MLM programs, you'll
need some very small programs to develop a nice "cash flow" for you... It's
nice getting those bigger monthly commission checks from your MLM programs,
but you need money coming in every day to operate a home business. Those
smaller MLM and mail order programs will supply this much needed "cash flow"
to assure you success with your home based mail order business.. Study
the offers on this site and click to my home site for more small offers at:
www.homebucks.com
I know that postage just went up again. Believe me I do, as I mail every day
and send out bulks mails at least once a week, but keep your chin up and keep
mailing.. Postage will be your biggest expense even above your printing
and mailing of circulars, buying and renting mailing lists, and anything else
that pertains to your home business. Nothing beats a very good mailing
list for that reason... Start to build your own as soon as you begin your own
business, as that will become the "life blood" of your business.
Buy good mailing list software as this will become one of your most important
software buys for your business.
If you don't know which the best are, drop me an email and ask... I've been
using the same software for my mailing lists for the last 18 years... It
took me a few years to find out which was the best for what I do and for my
home business..
I know you can keep mailing lists in MS Word or MS Excel OR even MS Access,
but it's best to have a software program for the specific business of managing
mailing lists....
****************************************
Oh! One more thing I wanted to comment on... President Bush apparently put the
kibosh again on the Stem Cell Research on embryonic stem cells.
I just wonder if President Bush would have a different attitude about this
research if someone very close to him, like his children or his mom and dad
had a horrible disease or malady that this kind of research would benefit
them.
I just really can't understand the screwing around with something that would
be of so much benefit to Americans and people of the world just because it
involves some human cells... Grow up, President Bush, and let the
medical people do their work, to make life better for us! Quit screwing around
and being foolish about something that could provide so much benefit to so
many. Don't wait until YOUR family needs it!!!
*********************************************
Well, it's getting really late here on a Friday and I've already missed my
favorite TV program, Numbers, at 10 so I'd better close up here for this time.
Yes, I do have television on my computer, but I really can't write here and
watch that kind of program at the same time... Actually to work at my computer
and have TV on at the same time, it works best if you listen to a News
program... I have MSNBC on a lot and that's probably why I like it.
For right now, I'm going to wrap it up, and YOU, YOU have a
GREAT day!
(I'll see you right back here just as soon as I can!
Okay?)
***********************************************
Here's The Cool, Unusual Fact For Today..
Irving Berlin wrote his patriotic masterpiece, "God Bless America," for the
Ziegfeld Follies. But after finishing it, he withdrew the song because he
decided it didn't belong in a lavish girl show. It was not publicly performed
until twenty years later, when Kate Smith introduced it, on radio, on
Armistice Day 1938!

Another nice, but very warm
day here at the Blue Bird Cottage in Central Pennsylvania. Yep, a real
beauty... We're supposed to see an even hotter day with more humidity tomorrow.
Right now, I'm sitting on the deck here on Sunday evening watching the mighty
Susquehanna River. The current is slow and the local geese are taking
advantage of it by traveling from our yard and then up river to the neighbor's
yard and so on.. Their "kids" are really getting big now, and I'd say
they are about 3 fourths the size of mom and dad. They are starting to get a
lot braver now so they don't run off right away as soon as they notice me or
if I make some noise.
***********************************
 Speaking
of local animals we've actually seen quite a menagerie around these parts the
last few days... Yesterday, Betty came into my office and looked out our
front door and asked me what the heck that "clump" was across our lane on the
other side near the old Erie Canal.
Lately, the guy above us has been hauling, dump trucks a full of dirt and
rocks and I said that it must have been a rock
 that
rolled off the truck and landed beside the road... But then, wait a
minute, the "rock" moved a bit. I went and grabbed my binoculars and looked
through them and sure enough it was NOT a rock. But it WAS a huge turtle. I
don't think I've ever seen a regular turtle that big. I've seen some
"snappers" that big, but this one looks like a regular box turtle. I'm not
sure what kind for sure it is as I haven't
 had
time to search it out on the web yet. If you know, email me and we'll both
know.
The water in the canal is drying up and the turtle came out of the canal, as
you can see all the mud on him, and I'm pretty sure that he was headed for the
river. He has to go through our yard to reach it. Look at the yard stick I
laid down beside him to give you an idea just how big he was... He's
well over 2 feet long, and well over a foot wide! That's a lot of turtle soup,
for those who like turtle soup.
At one time I may have killed and butchered it, but no more... I figure this
turtle is probably close to a hundred years old by the size of him and the way
he looks... He, or she, is sure a golden oldie and if it has managed all
of these years to live this long, I'm sure as heck not going to be the one to
put it down. No way, and that's for sure...
The very next morning Betty walked into the office and said to me, what's that
out in the middle of the lane, looks like a big bird I said. Of course I
hadn't seen the entire size of the thing. Then it started to move and
stretched out over half the width of the lane. It was a VERY large Black
Snake!
I ran to get my camera, but it was moving too fast and was down into the old
Erie Canal until I reached the spot where it had moved off the road...
Wow, it seems like every time Betty walks into the office she looks out and
notice's something... She said to me, "Don't you ever look out the door
window?" Well, apparently I don't look out as much as I thought I did or I
would have missed both of those animals...
Oops... It's now dark, here on the deck and the skeeters are starting to eat
me alive, so I think I'll move into the office.
Wow, that's better, I can see the keyboard again.
At any rate the animals are on the move. Another thing I've noticed around
here this year as that we seem to have more spiders than usual. There are so
many of them they seem like they're coming out of the "woodwork!" Outside and
inside...
I must get down in our basement as I figure that a lot of my problem of them
being inside may be down there.. We have a dirt basement as it's not finished.
It's not worth finishing as when the water comes up every couple of years or
so, it fills the basement with water so we really don't keep anything down
there....
The old man that used to own this place before us had a gas furnace that was
hanging from the floor of the living room, but we disconnected and replaced that
with a stoker stove upstairs. Now, the only thing that's in the basement
is the top of our water well. The top of the well casing where the pipe goes
in is sealed, so even if the water does go above that, it won't hurt anything.
However, when that does happen, we do take it apart and "shock" the well. What
that amounts to is dumping a gallon of Clorox down the well and rinsing the
pipes... Then of course you must run the water for a couple of days
before using it, and we always have the water tested to make sure that it's
safe and has no harmful germs or bacteria in it.. We don't drink it anyway.
It's supposed to be safe alright, but we don't take any chances and use
bottled water only for drinking and cooking...
At any rate, I hope to get rid a lot of the spiders by cleaning them out of
the basement... Another job for this week if I can get the time...
***************************************
I hope you've been paying
attention as President Bush has been trying his best to hurry a bill along in
congress that will create amnesty for over 12,000,000, (that's 12 million),
illegal people that are camping out, here in the good old U.S. of A.
I have no idea what the heck the president is thinking about but all I can say
is that he sure as heck is not looking out for us, the people who ARE the
United States and the ones who have worked to make our great nation what it is
today...
The people are already crooks as well as criminals as they have snuck over the
boarder and settled in here like they own the place. What the heck would make
anyone think that they are going to be law abiding citizens if they are
automatically made into legal Americans? What the heck is that story?
That's like saying, well we know that Mr. John Doe has robbed the National Bank,
so instead of putting his butt in jail, where he belongs, incidentally, lets
just give him the money that he took. Maybe if we do this, he'll become a law
abiding citizen!
I thought the the president and the folks who are supporting this amnesty bill
are educated people? Apparently they are not. Their thinking is so
screwed up, they sure as heck should NOT be holding a public office, let along
senators, representative, and PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!
These folks have been in politics just too darn long if they can look at
this situation and even think a bill like that would solve anything...
They, the Mexicans and others are now POURING across the boarders, as they are
so sure that the president will get this asinine bill through and passed and
to be frank with you, I'm starting to worry about it myself.
No one seems to be doing anything at all to put the kibosh to this idiotic
bill... I've been writing to my congressmen telling them that I do NOT
want this bill passed, but I wonder how many others are even taking the time to
express their opinion to someone that matters...????
If they are, honestly, I'm not hearing about it on the news... All I hear is
that so and so and so and so are voting with the president and so and so are
thinking that they might vote for it, but it will have to be altered a bit....
Altered my foot..... Send 'em back where they came from... Get them out
of the U.S.A. They are here illegally, and should not have ANY rights except
the option to go home or to go to jail. Do not pass go, and sure as heck, do
not collect $200 dollars!!!
Here's a great article by reporter George Putnam about Bush's bill being a
complete fraud!
"One only has to examine bill number 1348 to agree with
my good friend, Dr. Thomas Sowell, African-American professor at Stanford
University, who says, "This current immigration bill, and the arguments made
for it, has fraud written all over it!!!"
Click here for the complete small article.
(George Bush supports Fraud!)
Please, Please, take some time and write to your congressmen and let them know
we will not stand for this miscarriage of justice!!!
If you aren't sure who your elected officials are, congressmen, etc, click
here to find their emails quickly and jot them off a note.
Elected Officials
Please don't put it off, and do it immediately, we REALLY don't have much time
left, they may vote the bill in today or tomorrow... Don't go down without
letting them know that YOU will not stand for it!!!! PLEASE!!!! If
you have already written them, write them again... I'm going to.... If
they hear it often enough, maybe it will sink in even their thick heads!!!
************************************
I just love my old time magazines that I subscribe to like the "Good Old Days" and was
reading an article in one just the other day about this 92 year old woman who
was talking about when she was a school teacher in 1935 and took a summer job
working at a combination soda fountain and restaurant in a hotel in North
Dakota.
She said that many of the railroad men used to come in for their complete
steak dinner -- at $2. And she said she often got a tip of 5 cents.. Not Bad,
she said!!!
Hmmmmm.... I started to think right away... Don't know what it is
but as soon as I hear some numbers they jump into my brain and I start to work
with them.
One of my pet peeves is when you go into a restaurant and if your bill is over
say, $25 they automatically add the tip right to your bill and to your credit
card... Some places are as high as 15% and some are even higher than
that.... That really rocks my cradle as I don't like someone to tell me
how much I must pay a tip for. Especially if I didn't like the food or
service... I like the option of leaving and "giving" what I want to... Heck,
even if it's nothing... It's a tip for goodness sake.... and don't tell
me that the waiters and waitresses depend on that for their wages as they
should not have to... That's their bosses responsibility to see that they are
paid properly, not mine.... A tip was originally designed as something
extra to let the attendant know that they did a good job and that you
appreciate it so much that you are going to give them something extra to prove
it.... Your responsibility is not to make up the difference of what they think
they should be earning... That should be squared away when they are hired and
NOT at my expense...
Anyway, back to the story... Let's look at this story.... The lady
said that once in awhile she'd get a 5 cent tip and thought that that was
great... Well, it was as 5 cents went a lot further in 1935 that's for sure...
But figure it out, percentage wise... A 5 cent tip on a bill of $2
dollars is 2 1/2 percent!!! Two and a half percent and she thought that
she was really doing well... and she probably was... Now let's
compare it to today's tip... We won't go any higher, let's just say 15%.
If she would have received 15% tip back then on a $2 meal she would have
received 30 cents! Now with the entire steak dinner costing $2.00 how many
tips do you think that she would have gotten had her customers thought that
they should be leaving a 15% tip... NONE if any... Oh maybe a real high
ranking railroad man once in awhile would have been able to do it, but the
average Joe, the kind she was dealing with, no way would they have ever left
her that size of a tip!
Just something to think about...
When we as customers are supposed to let enough extra money to pay a person's
wages, I think that industry, (the food/restaurant business), is just way too
out of hand.... No other business expects you to do that, why do they
get away with it?
Don't tell me that they'd have to put the food prices up.. so what? At least
you'd know that from the get-go..... Heck when two people are eating
even at a lousy Red Lobster and the bill is almost 60 bucks, it's seems to me
that they should be able to "scrape" enough money out of that bill to pay the
waitress and/or the waiter's salaries!!! That's my opinion anyway...
*******************************
Lot's more to "talk" about but it's getting late and I do have a few more
things that need to be done before I wrap it up for this evening. So, for me,
I'm outta here, and YOU, YOU have a GREAT day!!!
(I'll see you right back here just as soon as I can!
Okay?)
***********************************************
Here's The Cool, Unusual Fact For Today..
Polaris, in the tail of the Little Bear constellation, is the closest visible
star to true north and this is referred to as the North Star. By about 2100
A.D., the wobble of the Earth's axis will slowly begin pointing the North Pole
away from Polaris. By the year 14,000 A.D., the new North Star will be Vega!!!

It was a beautiful nice day
here in central Pennsylvania after a chilly day yesterday.. We're
supposed to get "screaming" hot weather, here, over the weekend though.
************************************
 Yes,
I know, Paris is still in the "slammer," or is she? Not really, as we are
not always getting the whole story. It seems that she was just "delivered"
back to the women's prison where she originally reported to "serve" her
sentence. Where was she? She was in another place, actually it was supposed to
be a hospital. Yes, Paris was serving her time in a hospital! You know, one of
those places where you have nurses and staff waiting on you hand and foot,
serving your food to your bed on a tray, probably similar to Paris' home!
Well, you know how poor little Paris was so distraught by having to go back to
jail. Now that she's back to where she is supposed to serve her "time" she'll
be doing real time, right?
Well, not really, as Paris is NOT in her cell but in another part of the
prison, actually at the far end of the place where they have the medical
department, as she still has her mystery medical problems... I think it's
called something like, I'M AFRAID OF JAIL! Yep, actually where she's being
held it cost the county almost $1100 dollars a day rather than just the usual
$98 dollars a day that it runs for the average prisoner. Oh well, I think
that's about as close as we're going to see little Paris actually spending any
kind of time in jail.. In the jail house, but not "really" IN jail...
Like I said, she will NEVER do her time... Not like you or I would have to do
time if we were convicted of anything..
She may just learn something for all this mess besides getting more exposure
in the press than she our her parents could ever afford. Hopefully she'll
learn that when they suspend your driver's license, it means that you are not
allowed to drive your car until your driving privileges are returned! Even if
you ARE Paris Hilton and can buy and sell almost any one in North America!
Let's hope so.... I sure as heck don't want to be driving on the same street
as someone who is all doped up or drunk that's too dumb to know that or too
darn conceited to think that she must obey laws like the rest of us do...
I can get into enough trouble without worrying if this woman is going to run
into me or cause an accident that I cannot get away from. You know like that
other "celebrity" "Brandy"...... The one who actually killed someone and
barely got a scratch herself...
Brandy, 27, was not arrested and she has not been charged with a crime. (But
read what actually happened:
The accident happened at 10:30 a.m.
on Dec. 30, 2006, on the 405 Freeway in Los Angeles. Brandy was driving her
2007 Land Rover at 65 mph and did not notice that cars in front of her had
slowed considerably, law enforcement sources said.
Brandy's vehicle struck a 2005 Toyota, according to them. The Toyota then hit a
1989 Toyota. The 2005 Toyota then slid sideways and hit the center divider. As
the 2005 Toyota came to a halt, it was struck by a 1988 Acura.
The driver of the 2005 Toyota, Awatef Aboudihaj, was taken to Holy Cross
Hospital in critical condition and she died the next day. Aboudihaj, a
38-year-old married mother of one, was a Los Angeles resident.
Now, I don't know about you, but it sure looks to me that the entire accident
was her fault.. Of course it was an accident. You very rarely hear of
anyone actually PLANNING on using their vehicle to kill someone... That does NOT make
her innocent of anything!
Anyone else that I have EVER read about that was the cause of an accident was
charged with some kind of crime from vehicular homicide to plain murder..
In our area we have a young boy that was sentenced to over 60 years in prison
because he drank and had an accident that caused others in his car to die.
Now, of course he didn't plan on killing those other kids, it was an ACCIDENT,
and oh yes, he's very sorry about it too.
However they deemed that it WAS his fault and that he must pay for it.
Personally, I think they over did it and gave him too big of a punishment. I
may have felt differently if one of the kids that were killed belonged to me,
but as I see it, this kid shouldn't spend literally the rest of his life in
jail for one stupid misjudgment. An Accident. But I feel that he SHOULD have
been punished... Just like this Brandy woman should be punished...
I'm sure she's sorry, and I'm sure she didn't plan for any of it to happen.
But still, it was her negligence that caused the woman to lose her life..
The kid above, that I was writing about was arrested at the hospital where he
landed and never got back out to see daylight until his trial and then of
course went straight to jail, did not collect $200, did not pass go, but went
directly to jail...
Now Brandy, she didn't even get charged with anything!!! What the heck
is going on here? Are you going to tell me that she is not getting
preferential treatment because she is a singing star? Darn right she
is... YOU do what she did and I want to see you walk away and go home...
Yeah right....... Don't EVER tell me that the rich and famous are
treated the same as all of us because they are NOT.... It happens all
the time, every day somewhere in this country... And if you don't think
that's true, then you must be locked in a room with no TV and no news
what-so-ever... that's all I can say...
I'm interested in what's going to happen to Brandy....
This accident happened clear back in December and it's now June and nothing
has happened, what do you think? OH there is something, that did happen, this:
"Brandy was involved in a car accident Dec. 30, 2006 in
Los Angeles where there was a fatality. She wishes to publicly express her
condolences to the family of the deceased. Brandy asks that you respect the
privacy of everyone involved at this time," her publicist, Courtney Barnes,
said in a statement.
It's so nice that HER publicist took the time to apologize for Brandy's murder
of another human being... You can really tell, now, that she is REALLY upset
about it...
Well, I'll tell you that if I had anyway of doing any thing about it, she
would be upset as she would stand trial for her misjudgments.... Just like the
rest of us would have to do if we would have done the exact thing that she
did!!!
***********************************
I had a bad day about 2 days ago with chills and fever. Did not ever find out
why, but it only lasted for the day and most of the night and then I was
fine.. Betty had a back ache for a couple of days.... But she's feeling
much better now... (I think a lot of her problem was from working on the bulk
mail.) It takes a lot of work and you're on your feet quite awhile when you
assemble a mailing... we did get another bulk mail out on Monday though and it
makes me feel pretty good that we're back on track with our mailings...
I thought that the mailing we put out on June first was sitting in a post
office somewhere as a lot of folks were starting to contact me to let me know
that they did not receive their checking copies of Print and Mail jobs that I
was doing for them...
After complaining to the post office, I contacted several people, who I know
that I had mailed to, by email and telephone and today I received 6 contacts
telling me that they had all received their mailings on today... The
mailing had went out on June the first so I'm starting to think that as that
was a holiday weekend, maybe that's why it was so slow in getting across the
country...
That's the only explanation that I have. I left my Post Master know this
afternoon that the mail started showing up and left him off the hook...
****************************************
I'll have more for my mail order business friends in my next post... As it's
pushing midnight here in my home office, I'm going to wrap it up for today and
when YOU read this YOU have a GREAT day!!!
***********************************************
Here's The Cool, Unusual Fact For Today..
The first and only Congressman to be jailed for criticizing the President was
Matthew Lyon of Vermont, in 1798. He had attacked President John Adam's
plainly unconstitutional Sedition Act, which forbade defamation of the
government or its officers. The law was repealed during the Jefferson
Administration!

It was really a beautiful
day here in Central Pennsylvania today. Low humidity and only in the 70s.
REALLY a nice day... I hope tomorrow is half as nice as today was.
*************************************
I've had several readers email me and tell me that I must update my blog as
Paris is back in Jail. Well, yes, she is, but believe me it won't be for too
long. It sure as heck will not be the 40 some days that the judge said that
she must stay there and I'll bet a nickel on that one!
It was VERY refreshing though to see the Judge, Michael T. Sauer, "stand his
ground" and insist that his orders be followed... I'm starting to think that
here's a judge that can't be bought.. Thank goodness that there are a few of
them left...
No, I'm not getting all warm and fuzzy, as I really don't think that most
judges are that honest, and give a crap what is right and what is wrong, as
long as they get their own way. Most are just like a bunch of big kids...
Anyway, back to Hilton.... I've read today that she is going to receive
credit for the day or day and a half that she spent at home with her bracelet
on, as well as the other time... Heck even though they said that she
will now have to spend the entire, original, 46 days, I'll still bet you
dollars to doughnuts that she will leave the jail VERY soon... Already
they said that even though she didn't turn herself in until Monday that Friday
will be counting as her sixth day... Now, I don't know where they went to
school, but I'll be darned if I know how they can add up Monday through Friday
and come up with six. But as I said in the last post, anything can and does
happen when it comes to someone with fame and money.
After all, even though she's back inside the facility, she is NOT in her jail
cell but she is at the other end of the building because little, frail, Paris,
is near a break down by having to go back to jail. We'll be lucky if she EVER
spends a full day or any part of a day in her actual cell.. Like I said,
she won't even be in the building that long... Things have a funny way
of working when it comes to fame and money, and the screwed up addition of the
days spent so far is just the beginning!
We'll just have to wait and see......
The punishment is already a joke so they may as well send her home... After
all, neither Paris and/or her parents have the money to buy the publicity that
she has received since this thing of her jail punishment came up.... She
thrives on publicity and that's one of the ways she makes lots and lots of
money.... When she goes to these "clubs" and such she don't go just for
the fun of it but she also gets paid by the owners and she "draws" publicity
for them and customers... I read yesterday that she gets paid as high as
$100,000 dollars an evening! No, I didn't mean to write ten thousand, it IS a
hundred thousand.. Not a bad pay check to sit around, shoot the shit
with your friends, and have a few drinks, right?
Yes, I think I could learn that job pretty darn quick.... Of course she
must invest in a lot of clothing, jewelry, and make up, but hey, there are
back falls to all careers, if you want to call it a career, that is.
Looks like the weekend is over and Monday is here..... (At least it will be in
a few hours.) Now, we'll see what will happen to little Paris today.
***************************************
I've already picked 4 tomatoes off of my GIANT 3 plant, (in containers),
tomato patch, and many more green ones are starting to form... Now, this
year that I have them planted in containers that I can move up to the back
yard, away from the river, I'll bet you that we don't even get any high
water... Isn't that they way it always is... I'm not complaining though
as I get tired of cleaning up from what the river deposits into our back yard
each time the water comes up and goes back down... Yep, it does get
tiring... The back yard looks pretty good at the moment and I wouldn't
mind if it stayed that way for awhile.
***************************************
Betty and I are getting caught up with our Bulk mailing for my home business
and it feels pretty darn good to have the work cut back down to size for a
change... She, Betty, has finished assembling the 200 copies of the
latest mailing this afternoon and I just finished the paperwork and it's ready
to go to the post office first thing in the morning. Now, even though we
worked most of the day here today, Sunday, I must admit that it feels pretty
darn good!
****************************************
It's been another day here listening to heavy equipment and such as up the
lane from our house on the other side of our neighbors, a fellow bought river
property that was up for sale where he want's to build his own house... When
he bought that, he also bought property across the old Eire canal that runs in
front of our house, and has divided that up into 3 parcels of land... Actually
don't mention this, but in my opinion they are in the "wetlands" that surround
most of us here, along the river... At any rate, he wants to build his house
right along the river where we are, which is legal as long as there is already
a foundation there... No new buildings...... That is now the State law.
However, the land he wants to sell is across the canal away from the river. He
is advertising them as "river view" properties... I guess they are, but
you have to strain a bit to actually see the river from them... At any
rate, he is cleaning out trees all around where he wants to build and last
Summer, I swear nearly every day this guy had a fire going up there burning
brush... It was just about enough to drive you nuts and you didn't even get a
break on Sunday. Our neighbor always fired up his grill and cooked on his deck
on Sundays but last year had to forego that. Now, this year the guy is hauling
tons and tons of earth and then separating the mountain stone from it for his
basement... It's just noise, noise, noise all the time... The dude
hasn't even begun to actually build his house and he's already a PITA. (pain
in the ass.)
He said he either wants to sell the properties across the canal first, or he
must sell them first, for the money, before he builds his house... Either way,
I understand that he figures it will take him about 2 years... 2 more
years of this, I sure hope not... Already he has cut down just about all the
foliage between the canal and the super duper highway that runs through our
area and now all you can hear in our front yard is traffic noise.
Between him up there playing with his rocks and the noise of the traffic, it's
enough to drive me nuts!!!
I just hope that he gets his house built or what the heck ever he is doing so
we can get back to some dog gone peace and quiet around here again.... It's
another one of those, We'll have to wait and see deals....
***********************************
It's getting late here Sunday evening so I think I'll not only stop updating
this blog, but also shut down the computers out here, get my bath, and enjoy
some TV before it's time to hit the sack.... So for me, I'm out of here, and
YOU, YOU have a GREAT Day!!!

Here's The Cool, Unusual Fact For Today..
The greatest steady pressure ever recorded in a laboratory is 15.2 million

slowly flow like liquid plastic!

It was another beautiful
day here in Central Pennsylvania, probably the last one for this week as
tomorrow it's supposed to be really hot and then stormy in the afternoon..
Right now though, it is very nice..
**************************************
I guess you knew that I couldn't let this Paris Hilton thing go without
putting in my 2 cents... I've been saying for years that if you have fame and
money, you can do whatever you please and here is just more proof of that
"fact!"
Poor Paris had to go back home because of medical reasons so now she can spend
her "time" at home... Give me a break.
Isn't that the reason they have medical clinics in prisons, for prisoners that
become ill. When did you EVER hear of anyone being let out of prison, because
they became sick or had ANY kind of medical problems? When? Come on now,
think?
No, I can't think of any time either. I'm actually surprised that she even
went to prison at all, let alone 3 whole days.
Oh, well, let's face it, she really didn't go to prison at all. At least not
the prison you or I would go to if we would have been in the same situation
that Hilton was in.
Oh, sure, that's okay Paris, even though you flagrantly ignored our laws and
still done as you pleased, and not only put yourself in jeopardy, but others
as well, we will send you to jail, but instead of the original time that you
were sentenced to, we'll let you out in half of that time, as we already know
that you will be on your best behavior, right?
Don't worry, we won't put you in the general population of the prison where
you may get hurt, we'll make sure that you will have your own private room.
After all, we just couldn't expect you to stay your sentence with just common,
ordinary, law breakers, like hmmm .. yourself, now could we? Of course not.
Now, let's see it's been 3 whole days, and we know that you, Paris, miss your
little doggie and the constant use of your "Blackberry," so we have decided to
let you go home and tell the regular people, that you have some medical
problems and just HAD to be released, but we are going to make you wear the
ankle bracelet for 40 days and you will have to stay home, at your mansion,
during that length of time as well.
Hmmmmm.... now let's see.... Paris has already left us know what she thinks of
the laws that were created by the common people and apparently supposed to
only be used on common people. She already drove without a license and that's
how she got into this to start with. At least I think so, unless I missed
something. So, because she, by now, must surely think that the laws do NOT
apply to her, the courts are going to trust her to stay at home for 40
days?..... Hmmmmm.. That makes sense, doesn't it????
She has no use for the laws, that's for sure, and even if she acted like she
did, I'm sure this latest move has really convinced her that she is surely
above the law.
Yep, if you're famous enough, and have enough money, and know enough people,
I'll bet you could almost get away with murder... Woops.... wait a
minute, I think that's already happened.. Did anyone ever hear of O. J.
Simpson?
Remember Leona Helmsley? She was sentenced to Federal Prison for evading taxes
but spent all of the time in prison in an apartment like situation. No, she
did NOT serve time the way you or I would or any other commoners.
Rich and famous, you're pretty much "off the hook" for any kind of jail time
or REAL punishment at all!
It must be nice... The rest of us will NEVER know all the facts but you can
bet they do pretty much get away with anything they do.
You read every day in the paper about this star or that star going to rehab
for drug addiction. How many times do your read about those stars being
arrested for possessing drugs.... Now, by golly if they are "strung out" on
them, it seems to me that they must have been buying and using them for some
time.
However, I have read a many of time, about Mr. average Joe being sentenced to
prison for lousy possession of pot!
Do you remember all these years people telling us that money can't buy
happiness? Well that's a crock! I don't know about you, but I'll tell you one
thing, I'd be a lot happier out of jail living in a mansion than I could be IN
jail living in a small room about the size of a bathroom.
**************************************
The gasoline around my area here, dropped about 3 cents since the Memorial Day
holiday and that's about it. It hasn't went up, but it hasn't come done any
either... I thought sure that they would bring it down closer to 2
bucks.. Apparently, I guess they figure, why should they? After all nothing
will happen to them if they don't. Right?
Let's hope it starts back down soon. I keep reading about people are hurting
big because of the high cost of gasoline. I'm also reading of many more gas
stations being robbed by people driving off without paying their bill....
Pretty soon the station will only sell by pre-pay or by credit cards at the
pumps... Another part of good America that we'll never see again. Used to be
that anywhere, you could fill your tank and then walk into the store and pay
for it.. Pretty soon, that will be another piece of Americana that will only
be in the Reminisce magazines and the history books.
***************************************
Talk about Reminiscing, for those of you, who like me, like to read what it

Here's The Cool, Unusual Fact For Today..
1. A mosquito has forty-seven teeth!
2. Amoebas, a one celled animal, can be taken apart and new ones created.
Cytoplasm from one amoeba, the nucleus of another, and the membranes of a
third are combined, and the new creature swims away.

It was a beautiful cool day
here in Central Pennsylvania... We were supposed to have thunder storms this
afternoon but it never happen and stay around 73 degrees all day. I got a lot
of work done, here in the office, but also took some time toward evening to
cut down brambles, down along the river... I couldn't have picked a more
pleasant day for that job.... that's for sure..
**************************************
Make sure you read the entire blog here today as I have a video link later on
that is going to blow your mind..
Ah heck, let me get to that first as I can hardly contain myself... This one
is REALLY going to piss of the big oil companies and also the oil sheiks,
because unless the oil companies go together and buy up the invention, we will
soon have no use for oil AT ALL!
Yep, you read it right... Well, I'm getting ahead of myself..
He's a short blurb that was written by the guy that first emailed me the story
about this.
So, here we go again. Another breakthrough...another
paradigm buster...just like we've read about over the years. And all of them
have been swallowed up and made to vanish into the void by the deadly Big Oil
beast that sits upon the planet like Godzilla. More than a few such inventors
like the man in this news story have suddenly stopped working...and some have
suffered untimely deaths. So, read this one and enjoy because we may not hear
much about it again. – ed
This fellow may be right as this is so big, I'm sure the big oil companies
will try very hard to make it JUST GO AWAY....
MAN TURNS WATER INTO FUEL!!!
I know, I can hear you laughing already but take a look at this anyway and
then view the video and THEN see what you think....
At any rate it seems that a Sanibel Island, FL man may have accidentally
invented a machine that could solve the gasoline and energy crisis plaguing
the U.S., WPBF News channel 25 has reported.
Sanibel Island resident John Kanizius is a former broadcast executive from
Pennsylvania who wondered if his background in physics and radio could come in
handy in treating the disease from which he suffers: cancer.
Kanzius, 63, invented a machine that emits radio waves in an attempt to kill
cancerous cells while leaving normal cells intact. While testing his machine,
he noticed that his invention had other unexpected abilities.
Filling a test tube with salt water from a canal in his back yard, Kanzius
placed the tube and a paper towel in the machine and turned it on. Suddenly,
the paper towel ignited, lighting up the tube like it was a wax candle.
"Pretty neat, huh?" Kanzius asked WPBF's Jon Shainman.
Kanzius performed the experiment without the paper towel and got the same
result -- the saltwater was actually burning. The former broadcasting
executive said he showed the experiment to a handful of scientists across the
country who claim they are baffled at watching salt water ignite.
It'll be interesting to see how this technology plays out, but we could be
looking at a breakthrough here. (Fingers crossed!)
Need a little more convincing? Just click here for the video...
Unbelievable!!!
Water to fuel!
After you click on the Water to fuel link and go to the article page, click on
the Video where it says, "Watch the Story."
Now, what do you think?
While you are there, it seems this same fellow may have found a cure for
cancer... Check out the video where it say's, "Curing Cancer", for some more
goodies from this fellow... Incidentally, he has NO medical background at all,
but he does have cancer and was looking for a cure for himself... He has a
background in radio and physics.... This is the coolest thing that I've
read and seen in a long time... It almost gives me "Goosebumps."
Can you imagine, if almost overnight, the oil fields of the world became
almost useless? Wouldn't that be something? Well, you could still use
oil for energy if it was still permitted... Lets face it, the hydrogen in the
water has about nil emissions for a very clean air, and oil is still loaded
with the bad emissions....
This is the kinds of stories that make the news worth reading... I'll be
keeping a close eye on this Kanzius fellow and I'll be following his
progression on line...
****************************************
 I did want to mention
that my portable tomato patch is doing just fine... If you've been reading
this blog for some time, you'll remember that last year I lost my beautiful
tomato patch to the high water of the mighty Susquehanna River, that runs
through out back yard.. So this year I only planted 3 tomatoes in giant
containers and this way, if the river gets high, I can get a two wheel moving
cart and drag them up
 here to the high
part of our yard... At any rate, I took a couple of pictures of them and here
is one of them... You can see some are getting red already, which is
VERY early around these parts... I've already picked two of them! I'm
looking forward to getting many more for just these 3 plants... Also, I
thought I'd put a picture of one of Betty's roses just to show you that
finally, we have achieved summer weather around here at the Blue Bird Cottage!
It's a real beauty, isn't it?
************************************
SOME STUFF FOR MY MAIL ORDER/MLM/HOMEBUSINESS FRIENDS
I'll be putting up some more stuff here in a couple of days... as I want to
put up a post of a circular on the web before I tell you about a neat little
way to generate some cash.... Nothing fantastic but I just got started and the
orders that are coming in are for only $5 cash but by golly it only costs you
a few cents to fill the orders... In the last week I've taken in $60 in
orders... No big deal, but not bad for a small cash flow program... If
you can't wait a couple of days, email me with your address and I'll drop a
circular in the mail to you that pretty much explains it...
*********************************************
Well it's almost about midnight, and today is just about shot. So, I'm going to wrap up this
post for today, and YOU, YOU have a GREAT day!
(I'll see you right back here just as soon as I can!
Okay?)
***********************************************
Here's The Cool, Unusual Fact For Today..
Englishmen of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries believed that no one who
lay upon feathers could die in peace. Therefore, when death approached, the
pillow was withdrawn from under the dying person's head to ease the passing!
(There are a lot of weird beliefs out there isn't there?)
