Hello Delboy, The one thing I can assure you, When your time comes, you will not be remembered for how much money , and land you have. You re going to be remembered for how you treat people, and what kindness you ve shown to others.
Good Morning Nam, It shocks me to think how people can treat others, referring to your Rwanda reference. And I suppose more of this happens than we realize As horrific as this is , what makes it worse is nothings being done about it Unfortunately it is a shameful part of humanity. But I do agree with Wallops, after hearing of this incident, I want to become a better friend and neighbor to those around me, and help those less fortunate. My little way of saying there are some decent people in the world.
Hello Val. And how re you doing Val, haven't seen you on the blogs much, Hope all is well with you, I ve been off and on the computer all evening, catch you later somewhere, You have a great Day,
Hello Butterfly, Val, and Minerva, Nice to see you Ladies. And I agree with you, to me news is propaganda, government agendas, and tv ratings(money) and somewhere in there the truth is Lately A lot of my friends are watching very little news, if any, I ve noticed they re happier, and seem to smile a lot more lately, I just might go there too.
Hello Lindseyjones,from Canada, Due to an illness,for the last few yrs, I ve become abit of a couch potato, and watch too much news. Reports of wars, fighting, and inhumane acts against mankind keep coming at a alarming rate.(Thanks to our ever efficient media) I try to say to myself, these world events have always been there, just now the media lets me know about them quicker . I then try to remember ,I live in a great country,and we re better then those places with all that turmoil,then I see small groups of muslim immigrants demonstating in some of our major cities to get our gov to respond to activities in their homelands, What can a person do , not sure, while I try and figure that out, I am going to try and be a better friend and neighbor to those around me, and try and enjoy the peaceful times around me. You have a Great day,
Hello Keys, The Jehovah witnesses have been predicting the end of the world for quite some time now.They too ,have told me Believe in the Lord, and I will be saved, and inherit the new earth and heaven. This was told to me (20 yrs ago) by a Jehovah witness minister, just before he stole 250,000$ , and disappeared. This fellow was a neighbor.
Hello mony, My grandparents immigrated from Russia to Canada, in 1912, very familiar with borsh. There is a lot more to Russian cooking than borsh. Here in the Canadian prairies ,after the fall harvests ,the smaller communities used to have Fall suppers. One community would have been settled by folks of german decent , and another French, another polish. The fall suppers were a smorg of food from around the world. The Fall Suppers were great.
Husband and wife joke, An older couple wakes one morning to find their home had been burglarized over night. The only items stolen were the credit cards. After some serious thought , the husband wasn't going to report the incident to the police, he figured the bugler couldn't spent as much as his wife. , I thought it was cute
Morning cavalier, Those who laugh at you aren't worth your while. I have abit of a disability, have to use a cane, I ve been stood up, lied to and treated like you know what, but realize my disability, and the way I ve been treated makes me a better , stronger ,a more appreciative caring person, and I figure I m twice the quality person than those bad boys, and I deserve better, so do you Cav.
Good Morning Nam, I m with jarred, I don t believe in fairytales. My Zodiac sign does describe some of my character traits rather accurately, but misses totally in a lot more areas.
Hello aniekerk, I can t defend men who lie on the chatline, , but with the computer age, its given people more opportunity to lie. I have met afew women off the chatline and have found they never lie, , they ve told me they just change their minds a lot, To Myself in this day and age, a lot of people figure lying is part of the norm, The problem here is how do we figure out who these people are, and who are the honest ones, You have a great day,
Hello funlaugh, Totally agree with you. Afew years back, I attended public meetings concerning the possibility of a nuclear power plant being built in Saskatchewan. Data from 3mile island, chernoble, and afew other places was presented. So much more happened that the public isn t aware of. (after effects)Its scary. I went to these meetings with an open attitude , but facts, and people from these disasters sure made up my mind.
Hello Nam, I totally agree with what you re saying. I watch too much world news, and figure theres so much he says , she says, propaganda, and nonsense, I don t know what to believe, but do believe there are powers to be that are influencing things,for a reason.
Hello Cat, I agree with you crows are an intelligent bird, but afew years ago ,where I live, the crow population got larger, and we noticed the song bird population just about dissappeared And once the small songbirds were almost decimated, mosquitoes and other bugs showed up. And the story goes on, I m happy if I don t see any crows,
Hello Wallops, I have to apoligize for not mentioning you on my honerable mentions list. Sorry, How about you and I bribe the organizers of this event. I wonder if Cat has any pull with them,
Hello Cat, Any chance of us bending the rules . There is definitely more than 5 people I would want to invite. How about a come and go buffet for everyone.
And Butterfly , I would make sure you get the first invite
Hello Ken, ,I fully understand what you re saying. I ve tinkered in old coins, old ornaments, on and off for a number of years, as my father did. The interest isn't there anymore. I took afew Canadian silver dollars (old) into a coin show, I was offered twice the value, , not even a tenth of the silver value. I also have a very rare alarm watch from the 40s, (very rare) , I didn t drive down there to give it away, I think its a disposable society, no one wants older items, they want to keep up with the jones, and have new. Us older fellows seem to appreciate fine workmanship, and I figure it makes us better people for it,
Hello Wallops, I happen to have MS, have to use a cane, still very active, maybe its not progessing. An older docter told me to stay positive, Keep positive thoughts in mind. He believed 50% of an illness was in the head, it seems to have helped me, Im still as goofy as ever. I have known of afew people who were diagnosed with ms , and they haven't left the couch after that, Depression set in. As I mentioned earlier a person doesn t need nonsense in their heads
Hello Keys, Interesting article, it gets a person thinking. , there are plenty of mysteries ,thru out the world that remain unexplained. Till some explanations are found, the door is open for UFO, Aliens, lost civilizations. Till some answers are found this speculation will be with us. Maybe its not speculation
