Tattoo's

I saw on fox news this AM that a woman was very unhappy because she had gone to a lazar person to have her tattoo on her back removed. It was rather large in the middle of her back. Well now she has a large ugly scar instead of a tattoo.

My question is why the hell did she get the tattoo in the first place? She knew it was permanent when she got it. But now she wants to get married to this guy and her tattoo does not fit in with her wedding gown and all these high class people.

This should be a wake up call to all the young people who are currently getting tattoos left and right.

John Quincy Adams Knew About Islam

I found this quote attributed to John Quincy Adams at pettifog

In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar [i.e., Muhammad], the Egyptian, [. . . . . ] Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST. - TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE . . . Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. The war is yet flagrant . . . While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men.

At one time we knew how to say what we meant without worrying about being politically correct. We also knew how to kick butt. We have fought Islam before and it is immortalized in the Marine Hymn..."...to the shores of Tripoli." And the fight is not over...yet.

This says it all!

I believe this says it all!

End of the month again.

Well, it is the end of the month again. Little Sister got groomed today. After we dropped her at the groomers, we spent the morning at walmart. I have not had time to even read a blog today. We are getting no rain. Guyk put down rye grass so I need to put out the water hoses again.

I got a tooth brush and tooth paste for Little Sister today. Tomorrow will be our first day to try this. Sassie poodle had to have half her teeth pulled because I did not brush them. I vowed not to do that with this pup. This tooth paste is chicken flavored and cost $6. What a rip off.

Dudleys Diary

Please go by and say hello to JDP . He is in need of some TLC from us bloggers. He is a nice guy and he has MS. I read his blog. Guyk said he did too. But I don't always comment on it and neither does Guyk.

Thanks a bunch.

Osmosis

Erica stated in her blog today that because she judged Guyk to be so smart that I must be the 2nd smartest due to osmosis. I sure wish it was that easy. Guyk started reading when he was very young. His family had a lot of school teachers and others that really valued an education. I started reading for pleasure when we were stationed in Turkey because we had no TV. And the only reason I started reading then was because Guyk encouraged me to do so. I started with Micky Spillane.

When I started college, it was like my brain was an empty sponge. I took in everything. But my understanding of world history and American history did not make since to me until Guyk showed me how to look at the whole world and what was going on in it at any one time, rather than an isolated event.

After college I started work for the state and never read another book that was not work related until after I retired. Since that time I have read a lot of books about the romans and other historical novels. Along the way I have tried to pick Guyk's brain. I take notes and often refer back to them.

Guyk has without a doubt impacted my life, but my smartness is all mine. I worked hard for all of it. And it is also something that no one can take away.

The osmosis part can't occur because everything I learn is learned through all my filters of my brain and believe me, I have many. I can parrot Guyk but to actually talk about a subject, I would have to write it down and think about it a while.

Guyk can speak or write on any subject in a manner of minutes. He loves his blog and it shows.

Thanks anyway, Erica.

Neuropathy

I have arthritis in the toes of my feet. Have you seen that commercial where the guy sticks a pitch fork in the man's toes while he is playing cards? That is what my toes feel like sometimes.

As I exercise my feet hurt real bad, but as I continue they cease to hurt until I end my exercise program.

Must be a mind over matter thing. I guess this is better than a pain in the ass?

A good week

This has been a good week. I was able to do upper body exercises and work on the treadmill 7 days in a row. That is a record for me.

It is raining this afternoon, a good rain too. Today is the first day of fall. The love bugs are out and covering everything everywhere.

Guyk goes to the eye doctor tomorrow. He is worried about losing his sight in that one eye.

As soon as I sit down to work on the computer, Little Sister poodle brings her rope toy for me to play with her. Ms Sassie poodle, she sleeps most of the time. Little Sister will be 7 months old this coming Wednesday. Glad we got her.

The Global Warming Scam

Please go over to Guyk's blog and watch this video on the Global Warming Scam. It's just a way for global warming so called experts to get money for this project which is meaningless. And the people of the world are following their lead. Maybe if enough of us link this video and enough people watch the video maybe we can all wake up to how we are being used.

Rushing the season

This is very good for your blood pressure. It is also very good to wake you up if you are sleepy. It is not even October yet. Halloween is still more than 30 days away and already they have Christmas lights on the shelf.

One fine campaign botton

I knew I was going to enjoy the 2008 elections. There is so much material on the Clinton's to work with.

Actors

Orin Wilson who stared in the movie Wedding Crashers is out of rehab and now has a caretaker to follow him around so that he does not indulge in alcohol or drugs. Someone to say, Don't touch that! 24 hours a day.

Well, that is about as helpful as birth control for rabbits. Every 5 minutes you run out to the rabbit hutch and yell, CUT THAT OUT! To late. The male rabbit has already positioned himself behind the female and after an EEK EEK EEK the rabbit falls over with a stupid grin on his face.

Orin can now contend it is not his fault if he gets into the drugs or alcohol. The caretaker was not watching carefully enough.

Maybe he'll come out of this a better actor. I hope so. We are running out of actors that really had character like John Wayne.

Global warming?

NBC news last night showed Greenland melting. The result will be that Guyk and I will now own beach front property even though at the moment we are not even in a flood zone.

I thought it was interesting that they show Florida but not Louisiana & especially New Orleans.

If they were honest about the rise of the water, then they would have to stop talking about rebuilding New Orleans.

Guyk's Sunday School lesson

Please read Guyk's lesson for Sunday School. You won't be disappointed. He does this so well. It seems so easy for him, but actually he puts a lot of time into it.

His Sunday School lesson is the best part of my day on Sundays.

We got a very good rain today. Didn't like the thunder and lightning but the rain was so welcome. We have been so dry.

Tired Puppy this afternoon

This morning I did my treadmill and upper body exercises and this afternoon I did my weed eating. So I am a tired puppy.

Guyk's brother's wife had a heart attack. They put 3 stints in her heart. She is a very small women, very thin, but her blood pressure stays high. And she refuses to quit smoking. They are 9 years younger than us. She has a real hard time doing what the doctor says for her to do. We wish her the best.

Guyk is having a time with his diet. He lost so much weight. Then we went on vacation. His family insisted that he eat. All those old women cooked and were mad if you did not eat. So of course everything was great and tasted so good, so he ate.

Not me. I refused to eat all that stuff. I get started eating all those foods that I should not eat and then all I want to eat is all that sweet stuff. I love cakes and pies and cookies.

But if I am not careful, I will be diabetic too.

Now this is a SIGN.

This is a gift from Guyk. We need these all over the USA.

Never a dull moment.

My sick headache finally turned me loose. Thank goodness. I take an anti-seizure medication daily and that generally holds my headache at bay. I was able to get back on my treadmill today. It felt really good to get back to normal after having a headache for so long.

I'm much happier with our solution for Ms Sassie now. She can't last much longer. When she is asleep, I have to touch her to wake her up and she acts like she doesn't know where she is for a few minutes. She sleeps 90% of her day. She is a wonderful dog. I know everyone that loves dogs has had a dog like her. She is a one of a kind.

Now Little Sister she is an entirely different story. She is all dog and more like a male dog than a female dog. And a yip yip dog. To be so little, it is hard to believe she can make that much noise. She gives me much enjoyment and aggravation all rolled into one pup. Even as I am trying to write this blog, she is wanting me to play ball and will not take no for an answer. Then after throwing the ball for a while, we have to go potty. After we potty she wants to play ball again.

Ms Sassie

Guyk took the cutest picture of Ms Sassie turning up her nose at her hotdog after she did her breathing and I brushed her teeth. We managed to get her toe nails cut this afternoon. They were getting so long.

Guyk went to eye doctor today. He has a hole in his eye. They are sending him to see a specialist in this type of thing. He knew he couldn't see well out of that eye, but they could not find the problem until now. I'm glad they finally found it.

Ms Sassie better

We got a reprieve. Ms Sassie appears to be a bit better so we are going to just wait and see. We know she already has a heart murmur so we are hoping she can pass in her sleep. She mostly just sleeps but she is eating some. I am continuing to use Guyk's nubulizer on her and brushing her teeth. She hates to have her teeth brushed. She will not eat for me after I brush her teeth so Guyk feeds her a hot dog that has been sliced into small pieces.

Little Sister barks for both of them. She is a great yip yip. She loves to play ball.
I am so glad we got her.

I have a sick headache today after my world fell apart yesterday, but I will be better later in the week. I have some good headache pills.

Thanks for all your good thoughts. They were really appreciated.

Read the newspaper without sneezing

I have found that if I read the newspaper on the internet, it will not make me sneeze.
I have even gotten books from the library that make me sneeze. It is very aggravating.

I was a good girl today. I did my treadmill and upper body exercises.

We had that wonderful fried catfish today for lunch. It doesn't get any better than that.

We saw fireflies this spring while we were camping in Okla. I haven't seen fireflies since I was a kid. I recalled this event while I was on the treadmill.

Back to the old grind, again.

I got back to my treadmill today. I have been away from it and my back was starting to get stiff. It worried me because the exercise is a must after back surgery. It is so easy to stop exercising and go back to old habits that are so much more fun. I am hoping for a new treadmill for Christmas. Mine is a walmart special and the walking area is to narrow. I have to be so careful about where I step. I know Guyk will throw it out the door if I fall off of it. So easy does it.

I was just wondering

I had the occasion to open a new tube of Preparation H jel. I expected it to come out of the tube when I squeezed it. Instead nothing happened. When I looked at the tube the end was sealed. It took the point of a pair of scissors to pierce the end.

Do people open this stuff in the store and use it? Or do people put something in the tub that you would not want in you ass hole?

I was just wondering why such a security measure on the stuff? I don't recall it being that way the last time I opened a new tube.
