Will You be one of the Walking Dead
Sunday, November 29th, 2009Picture the Government Task Force. Now picture one that Obama has order to:
- Think of ways to take total control of Health Care.
- Think of ways to cut costs of the Health Care once the Government has taken control.
- Think of items that will cause an uproar and have the media concentrate on this while we (government) slip other items through behind the peoples back.
Answer: Mamograms – Tell women they only need mamograms every two years. What an uproar this will cause.
- Millions will be save by Medicare. Instead of covering once a year mamograms we cover mamograms every two years.
- Oh yes, why cover all of the costs? Lets only cover 50%.
- So what if more women get cancer. If they are on Medicare they are over 65 and not at the priority list
- This means when they finally reach the top of the prority care list, it will be to late. Subjects will be dead.
What other medical test are covered by Medicare? Oh yes, men’s prostrate test.
- Lets get a new recomendation that men only need a prostrate exam every two years.
- And all is repeated again, and again, and again…..
Savings to the Government: No medical treatment cost and no more Social Security payments.
Are you wearing red today?
Friday, November 27th, 2009I copied this and think it is important for all Americans to read.

Red Shirts
If the red shirt thing is new to you, read below how it went for a man.
Last week, while traveling to Chicago on business, I noticed a Marine sergeant traveling with a folded flag, but did not put two and two together.
After we boarded our flight, I turned to the sergeant, who’d been invited to sit in First Class (across from me), and inquired if he was heading home.
No, he responded.
Heading out I asked?
No. I’m escorting a soldier home.
Going to pick him up?
No. He is with me right now. He was killed in Iraq , I’m taking him home to his family.
The realization of what he had been asked to do hit me like a punch to the gut. It was an honor for him. He told me that, although he didn’t know the soldier, he had delivered the news of his passing to the soldier’s family and felt as if he knew them after many conversations in so few days.
I turned back to him, extended my hand, and said, Thank you for doing what you do so my family and I can do what we do.
Upon landing in Chicago the pilot stopped short of the gate and made the following announcement over the intercom.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to note that we have had the honor of having Sergeant Steeley of the United States Marine Corps join us on this flight. He is escorting a fallen comrade back home to his family. I ask that you please remain in your seats when we open the forward door to allow Sergeant Steeley to deplane and receive his fellow soldier. We will then turn off the seat belt sign.”
Without a sound, all went as requested. I noticed the sergeant saluting the casket as it was brought off the plane, and his action made me realize that I am proud to be an American.
So here’s a public Thank You to our military Men and Women for what you do so we can live the way we do.
Red Fridays
Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the “silent majority.” We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or overbearing.
Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday — and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that … Every red-blooded American who supports our men and women a far, will wear something red.
By word of mouth, press, & TV — let’s make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers. If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, coworkers, friends, and family, it will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once “silent” majority is on their side more than ever, certainly more than the media lets on.
The first thing a soldier says when asked “What can we do to make things better for you?” is. “We need your support and your prayers.” Let’s get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example, and wear something red every Friday.
Exciting Day For Me

Mean, Little Fire Ants
Friday, November 6th, 2009My husband stepped in a fire ant hill. His legs look like he has the measles. I am now in biggg trouble.
The best thing to take the sting out is my Shea Butter with Tea Tree Oil. Our jar was empty and I was out of stock! Sold the last jar a few days ago and just had not made anymore.
Guess you know what I am doing today.
