Title: Weird emails/texts from your parents or grandparents
Post by: SkinnyBenny on July 08, 2012, 01:46:42 AM
Someone mentioned this on TMB and I thought I would steal the idea because my mom just got real weird with it a few days ago out of nowhere.

Subject: Random Thought
Remembering the time you tied the lawn mower rope to the handle to keep it running and when you cut the rope the lawn mower ate it. I think u were in 8th grade.

Since my dad got a smart phone, he likes to do the NYT crossword puzzle while he's pushing the newer cattle in to feed each morning (for some reason, asking me is not cheating but googling is). It's actually not weird, but the thought of him doing the NYT puzzle from an iPhone while on horseback at 6 am is odd in a pleasant way.

My mom has never used a computer, not once. My dad does but doesn't email but does text when there is something very important to say. Here are a few gems:

"Buy lotto"
"Buy lottery tickets do not forget"

I get forwarded crazy right wing rumor emails from my 80+ year old grandmother. 

Used to get them from other distant family members, but they do not get "pass" my elderly grandmother gets...so, no more of those are sent to me.

my grandpa always forwards me the "this is america, we speak english" ones. the weird part is that he lived in brazil for 10 years and can't speak any portuguese.

Gold. My Grandma once gave us all pens for stocking stuffers that had an American flag on them and the phrase: Keep our STATES UNITED! Make ENGLISH our national language!


My 90 year-old Grandpa sends quite a bit of email, and when he does he always just puts random words in quotations. V. weird.

Yes. He's almost annoyingly amazing and constantly smells like sun-soaked sandal wood and accomplishment. Also, he's currently working to get KARL to send a contingent to egypt while I'm here. SO MUCH PRESSURE! Are there KARL dudes on this board? Because I may suddenly have some influence.

Yeah, for the poor grandpa who is trying to send his horrible grandson a birthday card, but the horrible grandson doesn't even keep grandpa in the loop with where he lives. Good God SB, you can't do that crap to the greatest generation.

My Dad has officially reached the point where what he says is so crazy its cute. I just want to pinch his cheek and say thanks for looking out for me.

I've bolded my favorite parts


Quote
Kids,


1)  I will pay you to see the movie 2016.  Email me the cost of tickets (and a pizza) to go see the movie.

2)  I've switched from bee stings to Southern Copperhead venom in my quest to strengthen my immune system and avoid getting arthritis.  For the past year and a half I've been doing the venom.  I switched from a bee sting per week to a "whiff" of venom every couple months.  If I go much past that the pain in my hands reminds me that I am 'over due'.  I will increase to a 'whiff' every month now that I know the wear off time frame.

I am informing you of what I am doing.  I am NOT recommending anyone else do this nor am I recommending this for anyone that gets cancer.  I am experimenting to confirm that a "hot" immune system does prevent the onset of diseases.  Specifically I am testing this particular venom because of the protein in the venom which appears to fight cancer.  My ultimate quest is to push the limits of longevity - not just age but being physically and mentally sound at ancient ages, maybe even past 120.  My mentor made it past 100.  I am watching a second mentor now.  We shall see.  One thing is certain.  I've successfully prevented the onset of arthritis in me (my hands) for about 10 years now between the bee and S. Copperhead venom.

Health wise, you all are not far behind me.  Remember, bee pollen and venom work with your own immune system to make it stronger, a natural combination.  Drugs work as a band aid, relieving symptoms at the cost of introducing toxins into your body which then must be flushed out.  Most elderly people today take so many drugs, they run the risk of drugs reacting to each other causing toxic combinations in the body.  That's the herd of sheep mentality, what most people will do.  For me, "no thanks".  I'll take the pain of a bee sting (or other).

I'm starting to see more research is being done on this venom and cancer on the internet.

Below find some basic research information.

================================================================================= 

Research info

This is a set of comments from a story on the Southern Copperhead venom.

I think these comments were based on the same single event.

I do not think the lady became cancer free, just the tumors quit growing for several months.

Note she did get anti venom treatment to lesson the harmful impact of a bite.

Copperhead venom bites are one of the most painful snake bites.
There are (5) species of copperhead snakes.
The Southern Copperhead has a special protein in it's venom which suppresses the growth of tumors.

Contortrix Contortrix is the Southern Copperhead.  Venom type, differs from other copperheads some.

Agkistrodon conrotrix, general copperhead family, has a hemorrhagic toxin venom.  (Can make you sweat blood, scary.)


Know that there are 3 categories of venom, depending upon how it works -

Neuro toxins
Hemo toxins
Myto toxins

Our neighbors sister had cancer and was terminal so bad she was on hospice. She was bit by a copperhead and now is cancer free.

Relda says:

This is true I am the neighbor of Keith who sister was bit by a copperhead. I will try to explain this in short version. My sister lives in TX was diagnosed with Stage 4 of Sacroma cancer and was on chemo treatments for about two months. They had told her there was nothing more they could do for her and stopped chemo she had also been on hospice for several months. Even with the bad news she had not given up on living. My sister is not one to sit around and feel sorry for herself she was determined to get her lawn cut by herself. She had gone outside to get on her riding lawn mower, thats when she was bit by a copperhead. After her snake bite she only got stronger and stronger and actually was taken off hospice because she was doing so well. I would say that the snake bite froze the spread of the cancer and she did get better; however her six turmors are still there. The snake bite happened around March 08 and just recently is experiencing some growth in one of the tumors. The doctors are possibly looking at doing some radiation. I would like to somehow get a hold of this Frank Markland and maybe have him look at her medical records. Estell as far as it being safe I would say no don’t go out and find a snake if we could get some information from this Frank Markland maybe he could give us some answers. I haven’t had any luck in finding a way to reach him.

Dottie says:
January 5, 2009 at 8:45 pm
I am the sister, Dottie, that was bit by a copperhead snake. The doctors were very amazed that I had got better. The doctors had only given be about two months to live. I did not look for the snake. This is a miracle! I was sitting, very tired and sick. Something told me to look at the lawnmower, It took me along time to walk to the mover and I reached to the tire. At the time that is when the snake bit my finger! I was in ICU for two days. They were concerned on the chemo and the snake venom combination but it worked both ways. It helped not losing my finger and the cancer had froze, or stopped growing. Sarcoma cancer is a very fast growing tumors. I believe it was in God’s hands in helping me with the cancer. I don’t think it was time for God to let me go.

Bonnie says:
January 6, 2009 at 7:53 am
I am also a sister to Dottie. When Dottie was a bit by the copperhead, she was whisked off to the hospital in an ambulance. They immediately gave her an anti-venom something or other. Obviously, there was still enough venom in her system to stall the growth of this soft-tissue sarcoma.
I believe Professor Markland is on to something. Please tell us more. Dottie is very willing to be a test case.

I am informing you of what I am doing.  I am NOT recommending anyone else do this nor am I recommending this for anyone that gets cancer.  I am experimenting to confirm that a "hot" immune system does prevent the onset of diseases.  Specifically I am testing this particular venom because of the protein in the venom which appears to fight cancer.  My ultimate quest is to push the limits of longevity - not just age but being physically and mentally sound at ancient ages, maybe even past 120.  My mentor made it past 100.  I am watching a second mentor now.  We shall see.  One thing is certain.  I've successfully prevented the onset of arthritis in me (my hands) for about 10 years now between the bee and S. Copperhead venom.

Health wise, you all are not far behind me.  Remember, bee pollen and venom work with your own immune system to make it stronger, a natural combination.  Drugs work as a band aid, relieving symptoms at the cost of introducing toxins into your body which then must be flushed out.  Most elderly people today take so many drugs, they run the risk of drugs reacting to each other causing toxic combinations in the body.  That's the herd of sheep mentality, what most people will do.  For me, "no thanks".  I'll take the pain of a bee sting (or other).

I'm starting to see more research is being done on this venom and cancer on the internet.

Below find some basic research information.

================================================================================= 

Research info

This is a set of comments from a story on the Southern Copperhead venom.

I think these comments were based on the same single event.

I do not think the lady became cancer free, just the tumors quit growing for several months.

Note she did get anti venom treatment to lesson the harmful impact of a bite.

Copperhead venom bites are one of the most painful snake bites.
There are (5) species of copperhead snakes.
The Southern Copperhead has a special protein in it's venom which suppresses the growth of tumors.

Contortrix Contortrix is the Southern Copperhead.  Venom type, differs from other copperheads some.

Agkistrodon conrotrix, general copperhead family, has a hemorrhagic toxin venom.  (Can make you sweat blood, scary.)


Know that there are 3 categories of venom, depending upon how it works -

Neuro toxins
Hemo toxins
Myto toxins

Our neighbors sister had cancer and was terminal so bad she was on hospice. She was bit by a copperhead and now is cancer free.

This is true I am the neighbor of Keith who sister was bit by a copperhead. I will try to explain this in short version. My sister lives in TX was diagnosed with Stage 4 of Sacroma cancer and was on chemo treatments for about two months. They had told her there was nothing more they could do for her and stopped chemo she had also been on hospice for several months. Even with the bad news she had not given up on living. My sister is not one to sit around and feel sorry for herself she was determined to get her lawn cut by herself. She had gone outside to get on her riding lawn mower, thats when she was bit by a copperhead. After her snake bite she only got stronger and stronger and actually was taken off hospice because she was doing so well. I would say that the snake bite froze the spread of the cancer and she did get better; however her six turmors are still there. The snake bite happened around March 08 and just recently is experiencing some growth in one of the tumors. The doctors are possibly looking at doing some radiation. I would like to somehow get a hold of this Frank Markland and maybe have him look at her medical records. Estell as far as it being safe I would say no don’t go out and find a snake if we could get some information from this Frank Markland maybe he could give us some answers. I haven’t had any luck in finding a way to reach him.

I am the sister, Dottie, that was bit by a copperhead snake. The doctors were very amazed that I had got better. The doctors had only given be about two months to live. I did not look for the snake. This is a miracle! I was sitting, very tired and sick. Something told me to look at the lawnmower, It took me along time to walk to the mover and I reached to the tire. At the time that is when the snake bit my finger! I was in ICU for two days. They were concerned on the chemo and the snake venom combination but it worked both ways. It helped not losing my finger and the cancer had froze, or stopped growing. Sarcoma cancer is a very fast growing tumors. I believe it was in God’s hands in helping me with the cancer. I don’t think it was time for God to let me go.

I am also a sister to Dottie. When Dottie was a bit by the copperhead, she was whisked off to the hospital in an ambulance. They immediately gave her an anti-venom something or other. Obviously, there was still enough venom in her system to stall the growth of this soft-tissue sarcoma.
I believe Professor Markland is on to something. Please tell us more. Dottie is very willing to be a test case.

never saw this before.  whoever's father that is with the venom should warn him to be careful when collecting it and about developing an allergy to the venom.

not going to say it can't work in some fashion though, i think there is some evidence that exercising an immune system can have general health benefits.  does he mean literally taking a whiff?  like smelling it?  that's not likely to do anything, but it could help him develop an allergy.  he'd need to inject.  use sterile needles.  and don't guess on dosages, measure.

Update...No longer using snake venom because "It puts me in a pissy mood for a couple days after" Also my mom told me that he took too much one time and his leg became swollen and he could barely walk...didnt even go to the hospital, just sucked it up for the rest of the week.

My Dad has officially reached the point where what he says is so crazy its cute. I just want to pinch his cheek and say thanks for looking out for me.

Guyz, you have no idea about my dad and the hair brained schemes he has and will continue to come up with....Besides the whole "Injecting himself with bee and snake venom because science" he has had numerous "get rich quick schemes" throughout the years. These are a couple I can think of off the top of my head.


-Investing in a racing Greyhound when the woodlands first opened...the dog never won anything and was eventually "Sent to live on a farm"

- Wrote a computer program to analyze roulette numbers in the early 80's....took one of the first McIntosh's on plane to Vegas and would write down roulette numbers, go to room and plug them in to the computer, run back down and bet on the numbers his program said would come up next....he claims this worked

-Planting cherry or walnut tree's(Was going to sell the wood for gunstocks?) on my grand parents farm IN WESTERN KS.......weird, they didn't get enough rain and died.

-rough ridin' penny stocks....Loves them and would always try and get me and my brother to invest our chore money in them growing up......never worked.

-Got laid off from Honeywell/Bendix after the cold war....Joined Primerica(Multilevel marketing) and tried to make it big selling insurance for 4 years until my mom made him get a real job.

-Bought two African grey parrots and attempted to breed them for 10 years......nothing

Reading a book about the oil industry while doing holiday binging

Dad- Do you know how oil is/was created?

Ben ji- Yeah, plants during the dinosaurs compressed and heated etc etc

Dad- No that's coal. Oil comes from turmoil in the center of the earth.

Ben ji- I'm pretty sure that's wrong...

The Dark Sucker Theory

For years, it has been believed that electric bulbs emit light,
but recent information has proved otherwise. Electric bulbs don't
emit light; they suck dark. Thus, we call these bulbs Dark Suckers.
The Dark Sucker Theory and the existence of dark suckers prove
that dark has mass and is heavier than light.
First, the basis of the Dark Sucker Theory is that electric bulbs
suck dark. For example, take the Dark Sucker in the room you are in.
There is much less dark right next to it than there is elsewhere. The
larger the Dark Sucker, the greater its capacity to suck dark.
Dark Suckers in the parking lot have a much greater capacity to suck
dark than the ones in this room.
So with all things, Dark Suckers don't last forever. Once they are
full of dark, they can no longer suck. This is proven by the dark spot
on a full Dark Sucker.
A candle is a primitive Dark Sucker. A new candle has a white wick.
You can see that after the first use, the wick turns black, representing
all the dark that has been sucked into it. If you put a pencil next to
the wick of an operating candle, it will turn black. This is because
it got in the way of the dark flowing into the candle. One of the
disadvantages of these primitive Dark Suckers is their limited range.
There are also portable Dark Suckers. In these, the bulbs can't
handle all the dark by themselves and must be aided by a Dark Storage
Unit. When the Dark Storage Unit is full, it must be either emptied
or replaced before the portable Dark Sucker can operate again.
Dark has mass. When dark goes into a Dark Sucker, friction from
the mass generates heat. Thus, it is not wise to touch an operating
Dark Sucker. Candles present a special problem as the mass must travel
into a solid wick instead of through clear glass. This generates a
great amount of heat and therefore it's not wise to touch an operating
candle.
Also, dark is heavier than light. If you were to swim just below
the surface of the lake, you would see a lot of light. If you were to
slowly swim deeper and deeper, you would notice it getting darker and
darker. When you get really deep, you would be in total darkness. This
is because the heavier dark sinks to the bottom of the lake and the
lighter light floats at the top. The is why it is called light.
Finally, we must prove that dark is faster than light. If you were
to stand in a lit room in front of a closed, dark closet, and slowly
opened the closet door, you would see the light slowly enter the closet.
But since dark is so fast, you would not be able to see the dark leave
the closet.
Next time you see an electric bulb, remember that it is a Dark Sucker.

Wow, I just got the motherload.... A home made 10 page "Guidelines for a Successful Life" from the pops, complete with its own binder and plastic cover. It's super adorable and although some of the stuff in there is batshit crazy(Bee and Snake Venom) there are some good life lessons buried inside. 

Pictures coming

Favorite part

"So in about 2006 when i started getting arthritis pains in my hands I took preventative action, I became a bee keeper. I would grab a bee and let her sting me on the arm once a month during the summer.  A few years later that was not enough, so I started doing it once a week to keep the arthritis pains away. A few years after that I had to improvise a way to keep some bees in the basement so I could get the bee stings in the winter. Basically  it worked! Over time I had to increase the frequency of the bee stings to stay ahead of the arthritis.

Continuing the research, I learned that the southern copperhead has a protein in its venom that stops the growth of cancer. Lets just say I am a medical experiment and I no longer keep bees in the basement. If you want more information we can talk"

A gem of FB status update today from my dad.

what's on my mind? glad you ask. i am sitting in my house wondering what the hell am i doing in a place where the temps. are 12 below and with wind chill they feel like 27 below. i have tree limbs hanging over my shed and fence from the ice storm it looks like mr. freeze was target practicing with his freeze gun. tried walking to the shed but when the ice breaks thru you cut up to your shins. 4 wheel drive isn't working so its a blast trying to get out of the driveway, don't want to check my mail today, looks like taxes for my properties. crap, i know what's on my mind, i want to be a wizard when i grow up. just you can be my student. glad i have a short memory maybe we should go to a casino, win a bunch and head for the Caribbean for a couple of weeks. oh well, guess i'll head for bed. good night humans.

Okay just an old man story, no emails or texts but ben ji says it should go here.

This old man, he's a well witcher, and people think he's crazy (he isn't--for the most part).  At least he thinks people think he's crazy, so he's very reluctant to talk about anything to do with well witching or the aquifer or anything like that.

One time he was talking about how he knows the water is contaminated from these underground gasoline/diesel storage tanks, that somehow the fuel is leaking into the groundwater.  He's very concerned about this.  He mentioned some particular chemical, which I can't remember, but I looked it up afterwards and it seems like a legitimate concern, but without evidence.

We suggested he send sample to be tested, which he says he's done multiple times, but the people at the testing office are in cahoots with some other people and are suppressing the truth.  So I suggested he purposely contaminate a sample by putting a small amount of diesel in a sample and sending it to them.  If it comes back negative then he knows they are corrupt.  Well he didn't like this suggestion and wouldn't talk anymore the rest of the night about it.   He switched the conversation to why he drives to Plainville to go to the doctor, which is hours away, when there is a decent sized hospital in town.  The reason?  It's because they're trying to kill him.

He absolutely is an awesome dude.  He feigns dementia or whatever, like in a room with lots of people he just sits there and pretends not to know what's going on.  But if you're telling a story and eff it up he pipes up and corrects you and then when people are like "wtf grandpa" he's like "oh crap" and goes back to feigning dementia.

My 90 year-old Grandpa sends quite a bit of email, and when he does he always just puts random words in quotations. V. weird.

Reminds me of emails from a co-worker that I've never actually met. Uses random uppercase words, and never one comma, always either 4 or 5 commas.

Something like:
Quote
The file from CUSTOMER NAME was NEVER created on the SERVER.
Just to NARROW down the issue,,,, the next server sweep,,,,, at 11:30 created file for another customer.

Could someone check the PROCESSING on the SERVER,,,, there may be a problem

I always picture this person as really old, or disturbed in some fashion. hope to never cross paths and ruin the mystery.

Not sure I agree with the diagnosis. 

I've seen water witching work.  I was super skeptical, but you can find a lot of underground stuff with two sticks or bent metal rods. I used to work on a drill crew and the lead driller would almost always double check the marks laid out by the one call guys, it always worked, or if one call hadn't been there yet...  Now I'm not saying for sure you can wander around and find a good spot for a well, but there is something to it.

Regarding the underground storage tanks-they pretty much have a super high failure rate, so it is likely they have leaked. If the tanks held gas/diesel, it is likely the concern would be benzene. Also, it would be likely that a lab wouldn't take a sample from rando old man...there are several things that have to be done to ensure the validity and quality of the sample, so he could be confused on that front, however they are probably not giving him the answers he seeks.

Another hard liquor that's great for hair is tequila. It gets rid of product build-up and clears pores, which promotes hair growth.

My grandpa was coordinating a family vacation at a condo that was supposed to be the week of June 21-28. He got the dates ever so slightly wrong. It actually ended up being June 20-27, so it was moved up one day and basically no one was inconvenienced at all. When he emailed us all to tell us that he had messed up, his email subject was











"BOMBSHELL ! ! ! "

ben ji,

Very proud of you and your accomplishments !

Your are on the right track in life, enjoy the ride !

The next step, invest in yourself.

Feed your brain, become a better person, better professional, etc,

Consider getting your MBA.  Consider ingesting some personal improvement books.

I use to provide my favorite Nieces and Nephews "Lemon Juice", letters about such books I read with the key points provided in an email.  I'll send you some of them periodically.

Here is one of my latest clips from August 4th to my favorites -

============================= 

Watch for Barry to really cut loose writing executive orders after this fall's elections are over.  He is daring congress to impeach him.  He will really push it as it helps the Dems with fund raising and it helps to throw gas on the fire to pit Americans against Americans.  It is called being "divisive", creating friction between different groups.  It is also a fundamental element in the communist power play book.  Divide internally and conquer.   

.........................................   

Stock market alert --  Last year the government put a trillion $'s in the stock market (buying bonds which gives money to companies cheaply so they can grow).  This has artificially inflated values of stocks.  The government will cease this action of buying bonds this coming October.  Watch out.  The market is over due for a correction and this could trigger it.

I did hear talk this weekend that an economist was finding striking similarities between our current market and the 1928, 1929 market.  In case you are not familiar with that history, in 1929 the stock market crashed very badly.  It was followed by massive unemployment in the early 1930's.

Also, be aware that after the November elections, there are 30 new EPA (and related) changes which will be imposed on businesses and have a 34 billion $ impact.  This may also trigger a big market down turn.  This is another example of using government agencies to implement new regulation bypassing the constitutional process of having the congress write laws.  You could say we will be suffering from "taxation without representation" because of this process.

I'm kinda pissed I have never gotten a "Lemon Juice" email before.

Also loved the fact that he thought I might not be familiar with the history of the 1929 stock market crash.

No idea if he meant to call us "Chitren" instead of children but I'll let it slide.

Dearest Chitren,

What Dad wants for Christmas - a written list of your goals.

Now some knowledge / wisdom transfer.

---------------------------------------------------------------- 

The most important email ever !

Your health !

"When you have your health, you have everything!"

Most people never realize that until they do not have their health.

Once you get a disease, are very over weight, etc you are pretty well screwed.

Be smart.  Get out in front of it.  Take preventive action.  Educate yourself.

#1 - no pop (especially diet pop - which increases your appetite)

#2 - understand that many diseases are caused by going 20-40 years deficient of particular trace minerals and vitamins.

#3 - understand that "free radicals" create an environment for disease and cancer

#4 - know what you can do to eliminate free radicals (vitamin E, green tea, bee pollen)

#5 - keep your immune system strong  (bee pollen, avoid toxins)

#6 - eliminate toxins from your body (exercise, bee pollen)

I will provide you with bee pollen, if you will use it.  It is too valuable to waste.

Exercise is so important in keeping your body healthy as it greatly helps to flush toxins out of your body plus it strengths muscles (heart).

The two big killers are heart disease and cancer.  The two best defenses are half an aspirin a day and eating bee pollen daily.


----------------   did you catch that  ????   ---------------   


The two biggest killers are heart disease and cancer.  The two best defenses are half an aspirin a day and eating bee pollen daily.


Most likely no body will ever provide you with more valuable information in your life time.

Now the million dollar question is "will you use this information" ?

Looking out for my chitren,
Dad

PS - eating a couple bananas a week is very helpful - magnesium and phosphorus
Really good for blood flow and your heart.  May help with headaches also as magnesium helps to open up the blood vessels.

PSS - the goal is not so much longevity, but rather being healthy in your old age so that you can truly enjoy it.

PSSS - appreciate the good things you have in life now, the little things - even a good cup of hot coffee int he morning, the relaxation after a good stretch, your good health.

So you just eat the bee pollen or can you do bumps?  Can you boof or suitcase it?  It would avoid the digestive system and go strait into the blood stream.  Less wasteful.

Have to admit, I am a total bee pollen noob.  Seems like it should be pretty gross but it's actually good for you somehow?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_pollen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_pollen)

Bee pollen is the pollen ball that has been packed by worker honeybees into pellets. Bee bread is the bee pollen with added honey and bee secretions and stored in brood cells,[1] chambers of wood and mud created by female ground-nesting bees.[2] When the pollen ball is complete, a single female lays an egg on top of the pollen ball, and seals the brood cell.[3] Pollen balls are harvested as food for humans. Bee pollen is sometimes referred to as ambrosia.[4]

Foraging bees bring pollen back to the hive, where they pass it off to other worker bees, who pack the pollen into cells with their heads. During the packing, the pollen is mixed with nectar, enzymes, fungi, and bacterial organisms. Bee pollen is the primary source of protein for the hive.[5]

Bee pollen and TONS of vitamins...alot of vitamins....My dad takes like 10 vitamins a day in his "quest to test the longevity of the human body".

The kicker is that he is your typical american who is like 60lbs overweight but refuses to take meaningful steps to lose that weight because "bee pollen and vitamins/aspirin, DUH"


So maybe just that? Take lots of vitamins and Bee Pollen but be overweight?

Before I left I decided to grab some grade A western ks beef from the deep freeze...in the process I found this.

100% authentic. I had never read it like she was wandering around outside until random people gave her a ride, but it's definitely a possibility.

She's actually my grandma, but I have children so she had just dropped being a grandma and moved to great grandma (gg) status, it's how she signs all her cards too.

My dad just got on Facebook a couple weeks ago. Keeps posting pictures from a few years ago without explanation and people think they are current - like a meal he cooked or his garden.

What if they were all gonna be texts to WillieWatanabe about how much he loves you and how great of a son you are, but he was never able to make the texts work and he could never quite gather the courage to tell you face-to-face because he gets too choked up and it's too hard for him to break through his grizzled exterior? A single tear. :cry:

When he goes in for the half hug you need to latch on and go all full hug.
It will be awkward for him the first time, but he will probably shed a tear after you leave.

Dear SkinnyBenny,

Our new pest control guy just came.  From a distance, he looks like Zach Galifianakis, and his name is Zach.  I should tell him how much I enjoyed his performance at Bramlage a few years ago, and then complain that I didn't think Hangover, part III? was as funny as the other two.

My aunt, who is pretty old! Lots of great health advice! By the looks of the email, she actually copied the different ideas into the email.
Quote
This info about onions and the 1918 flu epidemic, as well as the Black Plague is not new! Be sure to take the few minutes to read this.

 HERE'S SOMETHING TO REMEMBER FOR THE SUMMER TIME
 
Onions and Mayonnaise
 
Very interesting In 1919, when the flu killed 40 million people, there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu. Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it, and many died.

The doctor came upon this one farmer, and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different, the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then). The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy.
 
Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser in AZ. She said that several years ago many of her employees were coming down with the flu and so were many of her customers. The next year she placed several bowls with onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got sick. It must work....Try it and see what happens. We did it last year and we never got the flu.

Now there is a P.S. to this.... I sent it to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes material to me on health issues. She replied with this most interesting experience about onions:
 
Thanks for the reminder. I don't know about the farmers story.... But, I do know that I contacted pneumonia and needless to say I was very ill... I came across an article that said to cut both ends off an onion put it into an empty jar.....placing the jar next to the sick patient at night. It said the onion would be black in the morning from the germs.... Sure enough it happened just like that.... The onion was a mess, and I began to feel better.
 
Another thing I read in the article was that onions and garlic placed around the room saved many from the black plague years ago. They have powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties.

This is the other note.
 
Lots of times when we have stomach problems we don't know what to blame. Maybe it's the onions that are to blame. Onions absorb bacteria is the reason they are so good at preventing us from getting colds and flu's and is the very reason we shouldn't eat an onion that has been sitting for a time after it has been cut open!
 
LEFT OVER ONIONS ARE POISONOUS
 
I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food Products, Makers of Mayonnaise.. Mullins is huge, and is owned by 11 brothers and sisters in the Mullins family. My friend, Jeanne, is the CEO.
 
Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to share what I learned from a chemist.
 
The guy who gave us our tour is named Ed. He's one of the brothers Ed is a chemistry expert and is involved in developing most of the sauce formula.

He's even developed sauce formula for McDonald's.
 
Keep in mind that Ed is a food chemistry whiz. During the tour, someone asked if we really needed to worry about mayonnaise. People are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil. Ed's answer will surprise you. Ed said that all commercially- made Mayo is completely safe.

"It doesn't even have to be refrigerated. No harm in refrigerating it, but it's not really necessary." He explained that the pH in mayonnaise is set at a point that bacteria could not survive in that environment. He then talked about the quaint essential picnic, with the bowl of potato salad sitting on the table and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets sick.

Ed says that when food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is when the 'victim' last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad?). Ed says it's not the mayonnaise (as long as it's not homemade Mayo) that spoils in the outdoors. It's probably the Onions, and if not the onions, it's the POTATOES.
 
He explained, onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, specially uncooked onions. You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion.. He says it's not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your refrigerator.
 
It's already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a bit, that it can be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those onions you put in your hot dogs at the baseball park!) Ed says if you take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you you'll probably be okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put on your sandwich, you're asking for trouble.
 
Both the onions and the moist potato in a potato salad, will attract and grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down.

Also, dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions.

Please remember it is dangerous to cut an onion and try to use it to cook the next day, it becomes highly poisonous for even a single night and creates toxic bacteria which may cause adverse stomach infections 
because of excess bile secretions and even food poisoning.

 Please pass this on to all you love and care about.

Kids,

A quick look at a lot of topics.

1)  immunotherapy (replacing chemotherapy in some cases)
X-prez Jimmy Carter had stage 4 melanoma, meaning sorry Jimmy, nothing more we can do.  They tried a new immunotherapy on him.  He is now melanoma free.  It is a concept where your own immune system is greatly strengthened so your own body can fight off disease (like melanoma cancer).

Who would have ever thought that?  Better get on the bee pollen and look into getting a couple hives of bees. :)  In another 20 years they will figure out venom therapy dramatically slows down the aging process.  (Success document has more details.)

Also, 3 months ago, some new pill came out that had their med in it AND some bee pollen.  Guess they figured out it gave them a success edge in showing improvement on patients in the USDA trial studies.  Too funny.

2)  ISIS for the world, ISIL for Barry.  Here is what you do not know about his use of ISIL.  ISIS refers to the Islamic State per Syria and Iraq.  ISIL refers to the Islamic state per pre-Israel and includes what is now Israel with Syria and Iraq.  So Barry by using the term ISIL is actually communicating a message to the Muslims in the Middle East that he does not believe in Israel having any right to exist where it is (aka its destruction).  Tie that with the Iran nuke treaty and multiple secret deals (protecting Iran) that were made and you can start putting together a clear picture of Barry (and the Dems he represents).

3) Recent "work place violence" by a fine American kid living the American dream.
Or "yet another Muslim terrorist act" this time by an American born Muslim in CA.  FBI messing with Barry by calling this "terrorism" just because they found a few IED's in their apartment.

You know how Barry calls Islam a religion of peace?  He is a Dem, his lips are moving, so you know it is a lie.  You really should know what some of the writings are in the Koran.  You will quickly learn that what our media (and Barry) call it Muslim extremism - in reality it is "normal behavior" spelled out in the Koran.
I repeat, what our media calls Muslim extremism is "normal" actions actually defined in the Koran, where you are to kill "infidels" (non Muslims) - which means convert of die.  It also calls out horrific acts like beheadings and hanging bodies for all to see.  The Koran and Muslims are no religion of peace.  Our liberal media propaganda wants you to believe that though.

4) Gov't shutdown, possibly coming.  Remember last time Barry instructed that the Arlington cemetery be shut down so that visiting veterans could not see it (while other smaller profile locations were kept open)?  This next 12 months should provide much entertainment on what Barry will do, who he will free from prison, what laws he will enact (bypassing Congress, the source of all laws).  I guess since Barry bypasses congress, his laws are "imposed".  Kind of fits the definition on a tyrant.  That is why the American Colonies broke away from Britain.

------- venom

Southern Copperhead Venom and Proffessor Markland.  I found this PBS online video.  He is the only guy I know doing research on the protein in the venom, which can stop forms of cancer.  Key word here is "Southern" copper head.  The other four varieties of copperhead do not have the specific protein in their venom.  This is the stuff medical "Mikey" is taking to prevent any onset of any cancer (plus avoiding sugars and sweets).

Here is the link - http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/the-venom-cure-video-copperhead-venom-and-cancer-research/4419/

-------- Middle East

Democrats be proud as Barry shows Bush how to successfully defeat the enemy.

a)  Pull out of IRAQ just leaving it to whom ever wants it.

b) Call the army that comes in "JV" types, insulting them (aka ISIS or ISIL if you are a Dem).

c)  Spend $500,000,000 of our tax money to train (5) arabs to fight Syria's army.

d)  Thank Russia (aka John Kerry) for coming in to help fight ISIS, as Russia bombs the 5 arabs that were just trained by Barry in Syria.  I guess Russia did not get the email from Hillary that they were suppose to attack ISIS (aka ISIL) in Iraq NOT Syria AND Russia was not attacking ISIS, but rather the people Barry was funding so they could attack Syria's army (which now Russia is defending).  Barry is LUCKY to have John Kerry there to sort things out for him and give really good advice.

e)  Give the OK for Iran (who sponsors terrorists and hates the US) to green light to make Nukes AND signs some secret agreements to protect their Nuke program.  Again Barry was very lucky to have John Kerry there to give him really good advice.

If you doubt these are good things, I point out that Barry received the Nobel Peace Prize right after his 2008 election.  Jimmy Carter was the other US prez who was awarded that prize.


-------- the Pope

Something was not right.  The Pope with Fidel.  Happy.  The Pope with Barry, and Barry goes out to meet him at the airport he was so excited to see him.  The strange mix.  Chumming together like old friends, yet one would think they should have bitter disagreements.  Fidel a communist, no belief in God.  Barry with communists on his staff and is pro abortion stand plus the Dems no God stands - removing prayer from their conventions, the ten commandments from public institutions, etc.  Then you have the Pope, the human representative with God.  It does not make sense, until you look at what they have in common.

They are fundamental liberals.

The Pope story.  A Cardinal just wrote a book about how a group of leftist Cardinals called the Vatican Mafia had helped to depose the healthy last pope and get the current Pope elected.

So what Fidel, Barry, and the Pope share are some common fundamental beliefs -  the desire to see America decline, the desire to see communism/socialism flourish in the world.

I did some additional research.  The Vatican (aka the Church) is in major decline and has been declining since WWII.  If you get into the French prophet Nostradamus's writings, it is all predicted.

We are living in fascinating times.  Fascinating in that things are not as they should be.



---------  Hillary

There is an FBI investigation - state dept computers have been seized so expect an indictment, she will scream all the way to the exit door.  "Isn't it about time for a woman to be president?".  Yes, but not one named Hillary.

In case you ever wondered why she had her own server - follow the money.
She was shaking down countries for contributions to the Hubby Library, these communications could not be on a gov computer, or there would be backups.
There were 100's of millions of $'s given to the Hubby Library, many times just after the state dept ok'd certain financial dealings with countries.  Also her server was hacked by everyone.  The Brits would not send communications to her on her server even back in 2008 as their intelligence service to them it was "compromised".  Just remember how the media told us how she was the smartest woman on earth.  Think they said similar things about Barry.

----------  Dems

If your a Dem, be a proud Dem.  Make a big list of accomplishments and leadership displayed by this group.

  Barry, Hillary, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi

Include in that list  Iraq, Iran, Syria, US debt, US military decline, private servers with US secrets, US welfare for illegal aliens, death of US ambassador in Lybia, support of "Muslim brotherhood" in Egypt, Vetrans hospital non care and lies, IRS being used to politically harass US citizens, Affordable Care Act (you have to vote to pass it to see what is in it), trading 5 terrorist leaders for one US deserter, ....... much more to be proud of .....

That is all.

Kids,

Want to prevent MicroSoft from forcing you to use 10.0 ?

Google  "never10.exe", download the program and run it.  You will still get the stupid MS 10 messages, but this pgm is suppose to neuter MS 10.

Latin:  Terra means land.
       terra firma  = solid land
       terra incoginito =  unknown land
       terra nova  =  new land.

        semper  =  always
        semper fidelis = alway faithful  (aka Marines phrase)

        servus servorum Dei  =  servant to the servants of God  =  Phrase for the Pope.

        magna cum laude   =  with great praise.

Now that you are educated, the "non news" news.

Did you know that the recent Muslim killer, in Orlando, was a DHS employee ?
DHS is Department of Homeland Security.  Seems that department has employed many Muslims and shipped them all around the USA.  Think about it.  You can see how Barry has destroyed government institutions like the military, DHS, justice dept, etc by placing his Marxist confidants (liberal Dems) in key operational positions within those organizations.  Now tell me we do not need Trump to clean up a huge stinking mess.  So the DHS (who is in charge of homeland security) hires a Muslim whom the FBI has interviewed twice based upon co-worker tips about his radical comments.  DHS hires this guy.  The same Washington bureaucrats who are now in charge of your health care.  Boy are we in bad shape.  Normal people scratch there heads and say Barry is "incompetent".  I say no, he has done "everything" by careful design.  He hates American, he hates white people, he hates Jews, the absolutely hates Christians.  Looking at it that way, it all makes sense.  Barry was raised as a Muslim.  Period.  Americans do not think like Muslims, so we find it hard to believe Barry (a solid Dem) means ill towards America.  Remember, he promised to "transform" America and never did say exactly what that meant.

Did you know that Barry had the FBI "cleans" their data bases of all references to Muslims so that there would be no prejudices?  He had help from the ACLU (Dems) and some Muslim Leaders who had a couple big law suits against the FBI in Cali a few years ago.

Did you know under Wm Clinton, Jamie S. Gorelick, who was famous for  'the single greatest structural cause for September 11 was the wall that segregated criminal investigators and intelligence agents'.  She made it illegal for the FBI and the CIA to share information about terrorist.  Under Barry, it has gotten worse.  Example of the extreme.  The Russians told us that the Muslim Boston Bomber brothers were radicals (aka terrorists).  What happened ?  The Boston marathon bombing.  What do you expect when the Dems run things and make such great policy decisions.  If you want chaos, crisis, disaster, you have to do things that will prepare it to happen.  The Dems have mastered this.  Examples:  The loads of lawyers brought into Ferguson MO and to Baltimore MD.  Dems never let a great crisis opportunity pass.  They know their media buddies will make the strong arm robber (aka the gentle giant) look like an innocent kid planning on college.

Did you know that the first NBC story about the Gay killings in Orlando was reported as being done by a "white man" who obviously was a Homophobe - (the hatred or fear of homosexuals).  How sad they were to have to report later that it was a person with an Arab name (a Muslim).

What do these tragedies have in common ?  Ft. Hood, Orlando, San Bernardino, Boston massacre all have in common ?  Muslims killed innocent white people.  New Break == Muslims have been at war with Jews and Christians since 632 AD.  Not much has changed over time except the methods of war.  1,000 years from now the Muslims will still be at war with Jews and Christians.  They do take periodic breaks to kill each other (Arabs vs Persians).  Just remember how Barry and the Dems "always" assure us that Islam is a religion of peace.  Doubt the Dems ?  Ask friends of the Orlando massacre victims.

I think the Dems have given us so much, the only way they could "out do" Barry is to get Hillary elected.  After all, isn't it about time to elect a woman ?  Crooked Hillary.  Trump is pretty accurate with that moniker.  Moniker = nickname, the word or words by which one is called and identified

It is absolutely amazing how a prez can so divide a country - pitting groups against each other based on race, on religion, on sexual orientation, on politics.

====================== 

So, real life happenings.  Gold and ABX.  Going up.  George and I looking good.

Remember something important.  Kids in school and just getting out of college have had "years" of prime Dem propaganda force fed them daily from authority figures who they believe to be telling them everything true about life.  Their real education starts with their first paycheck and they figure out how much was taken out of it for assorted taxes and such.  Only then, do they really start to learn about life.  So we must give kids a break, give them some time to 'discover' reality after they get done with school.  The worse thing they could do is argue with a teacher about politics.  Bad move, really bad move.  My motto - "go with the flow".  Separate politics from work (and especially school).  Always remember when the American Revolution occurred, 1/3rd wanted to start America, 1/3rd wanted to stay British, and 1/3rd didn't care.  Amazingly the same is true today.  1/3rd are conservatives who love America, 1/3rd are liberal (Dem) commies who want the gov to give them things, and 1/3rd don't care.  It all comes down to leadership, who controls the media, and who controls the schools.

#2 "Knowledge and Wisdom"

Quote
Kids,

Learning opportunity:  Latin

The term, MO is an abbreviation for two Latin words.

 Modus operandi is a Latin phrase, approximately translated as "method of operation"

An example is "his farming MO is to sell the crop, then pay the bills".
Since most farmers are not versed in Latin, that is a bad example.
A more proper usage would be "the FBI said the MO for the bank robbers was to visit the bank before robbing it".

Learning opportunity:  Economics

With my education in economics, I could not understand how the US economy (ie stock market) continued to do ok with increasingly high unemployment and devastation in the small business sector.  I knew the government was borrowing money to spend (stealing from our Grandchildren) to keep government expanding.  Now I understand why we have not seen the economy collapse,yet.  Barry did three major injections of money to keep the economy going.  The were called QE1, QE2, and QE3 where QE stands for "Quantitative Easing".

The Federal Reserve engaged in two large-scale asset purchase programs between 2009 and 2011, commonly referred to as the first and second rounds of quantitative easing, or QE1 and QE2. Both programs had detractors, including those who likened the policy to “printing money.” Other economists said that QE2 either had no effect on the economy or was counterproductive.
On Sept. 13, 2012, the FOMC announced the third round of bond-buying, dubbed QE3.

So Uncle Rick, what are you trying to say ?

Caution in the stock market.  If the market starts to turn, it may turn very fast.  If you have nothing in it, do not worry.  If you have, be prepared to "sell" quick.  Graphs are pretty good story tellers, so here is one.



This graph shows what the artificial input of money (low interest rate money for businesses) has done - basically printing LOTS of money so that it is cheap.  That is why exported grain prices can be higher (wheat) relative to the US dollar. 

Another graph.

Inline image 2


This shows how bad the job situation is in the US, and where it is heading.

Bottom line, we may be on the edge of a big drop in the stock market, the economy, jobs, a potential really big mess.  I suspect this will happen this fall or early next year so that it can be blamed on the next Pres.  Usually Republicans follow after 8 years of Dems and vise versa (Latin again - "the other way around", "conversely").  It is suppose to be a Republican this time.

Here is the last chart, which is very sobering.  Gross national product (GNP) is the market value of all the products and services produced in one year by labor and property supplied by the citizens of a country.

Inline image 3


What all this means is that we may have some very serious time ahead of us.  The reason it has not hit us yet is because of the QE Barry did - which did not fix anything, it just borrowed time so that when it happens it can be blamed on some one else.  That is how politics it played.  Be wise, be aware, and understand how it all will impact you.  So, I now personally understand how the QE events (doubling the amount of money supply) put off economic downturn (which I could not understand before).  You can not keep doing QE events or you hit a point where it accelerates the bad impact, which is about where we are now.

That's more economics that you ever learned in school.
Charts, pictures, are the best way to display facts and project where things are going.

Now you have a glimpse into the future.  As it unfolds you will understand while everyone else is bewildered.  Tough times ahead.

Entertainment:

The real entertainment starts about July 22nd after the Republicans pick a candidate.  Then the Dems start to unleash there "bullying and hate speech" on whom ever the candidate is.  Every election cycle (4 years) it repeats.  Everyone gets so sick of the TV and radio ads, they just want the thing to be over with.  In a way I hope it is Trump and Hillary just because it will be one major drag out dirty fight.  Better entertainment that Monday night football, and it will be on display daily for three months.  I will sit back and be entertained.  Before that though, there may be some major entertainment with whom the Republicans pick.  That might be a major drag out dirty fight as well - a brokered convention.

So much entertainment yet this year.  Do not get too worked up over it all.  Watch for the Dem paid protesters to play a big role, especially if the nominee it Trump.  That is their battle strategy which the media reporting has already started - the template is to associate Trump with violence.  You will hear continued reporting on Trump event and violence.  They will not mention that the protesters are paid agitators nor will they follow the money to whom they are being funded by.  So, the entertainment is underway.

Hillary and the email indictment?  Hillary is the establishment candidate.  Barry loves holding that over her though.  The FBI can only build a case and inform the Justice Department of what the case consists of.  Nothing happens unless the Justice Department takes action.  Nothing happens unless Barry says for it to go forward.  That in itself speaks loudly about the injustice of our Justice Department.  Also, Barry has already has given pardons to over 268 convicted felons, more than all the other presidents.  Usually they do not even start until December.  This is another great source of entertainment (that will not be reported on).  I will keep you posted about it.

#3 "Easy Money"

Quote
Kids,

We are all truly blessed.  Doubt me?  We all know some one, or many people, who have lost their health or have a very bad quality of life.  We are fortunate to be in as good of a situation as we are in.

Latin word - quorum.  A quorum is not necessarily a majority of members of a group, but the minimum needed in order to conduct business.

The money man behind barry soetoro is a billionaire named G. Soros.  Earlier this year  Soros bought 1.05 million shares of the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (NYSEMKT: GLD) and 19.42 million shares of Barrick Gold Corp. (NYSE: ABX).  He also shorted the S&P 500 index by several million.  Soros knows something about what is going to happen that will make gold go up (a lot) and make our stock market go down.

I'm riding on this one, the gold anyway.  I have some ABX stock.

Trying to figure all this out, it was not until listening to how the people who attended the Trump rally in San Jose were assaulted by a bunch of people burning US flags and carrying Mexican flags, it all came together.  It was said that the mayor delayed the police, then blamed the violence on Trump.  Dems hands are dirty on this organized chaos.  These are paid trouble makers.  Watch for a whole lot more of it.  Watch how the press will tell the story like "Trump" caused it or his people caused it (which is far from the truth).  I think the Cleveland convention in July will be a mess and may be one of the triggers to make Soros money - (gold up, market down).

That's my crystal ball reading.  It is like a puzzle, when you get enough pieces you start to make sense of it and the picture of the puzzle starts taking form.

It also makes sense why barry is letting so many illegals in.  They are his front line "storm troops" to cause political chaos.  Also, if you want to "break" America, flood it with unhealthy illegals to overwhelm it's bureaucracy (bankrupting it).  Besides, in many states (like Cali) the state will let them vote.

Did you know he has been bringing in Somolians for over 6 years, skipping the required health screening required for new immigrants?  A whole lot of them ended up in Minnesota.  25% of them have TB (tuberculosis). Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB).[1]

A lot of Americans that have not had their kids vaccinated will soon be finding out that the flood of illegals are bringing in about 8-10 diseases with them, like measles.  Traditionally, people coming into the US have health screenings.  Barry has pretty well skipped that putting the health of US citizens and their kids at risk.

Ben Franklin lost his beloved son Franky, because Ben never got around to getting him infected with the small pox virus from a cow, so later when he got small pox, he died from it.  Ben never forgave himself.

Enough of all this.  Just be aware.  You will be watching history unfold.  Barry has the US set up for civil unrest, at the least.  The media will be sure to blame anyone who is white, Christian, and/or conservative for the actions of the lawless Dems and their occupy thugs (and Mexican flags).

If the dems win in November, three things will happen fairly quickly.  1)  talk radio will get shut down (unless it is politically correct)   2)  guns and ammo will be seized in a registration scheme   3)  The internet will be filtered like it is in many countries now.  The side line is that a lot of whites, Christians, and conservatives will be jailed for everything from speach to guns to assorted accusations.  Even with a Trump win, all this will likely happen, just taking it a decade longer.

Soros and I will be waiting to profit from all this chaos the Dems will be throwing at law abiding US citizens.  Makes you proud to be a Dem.

#4 "Family Story"

Quote
Kids,

Wheat reports of 60 - 80 bu/acre in WKS.  Awesome.

Wet there as well.

EU (European Union) update as this has a big impact on America and stocks.

Be aware that our stock market is due for a big pull back.  The EU issues may impact that. 
Word is that the French people hate the EU and its control over the French people more than the Brits do.

Today I read that the Germans are demanding a referendum vote to leave the EU.

Soros, who seems to be correct on Gold and Silver as an investment AND has also shorted the US S&P 500 index, is said to be making a $100,000,000 play to short the Deutsch Bank (Bank of Germany, symbol DB).  Soros says the EU is doomed to failure as members will drop out.  I believe he is absolutely correct.

Here is a clip I found on Soros.  People that vote Dem need to know this:

The Washington Times reported on how George Soros provided in excess of $30 million in seed money to groups affiliated with #BlackLivesMatter.

Now that #BlackLivesMatter has shown that it has the capacity to be a disruptive force in American society and increase misery and danger for black Americans living in inner cities, the deep pocketed Progressive donors are looking to increase their funding:


Translation = how to use chaos in America to benefit the Dems which are "progressive" which means "socialism and/or communism".

What people do not realize is that Europe has been going through the whole progressive liberal theme of eliminating national identity by eliminating sovereignty (national independence and self rule).  The EU does this by telling members what the countries will do (like pay taxes) which the countries may not agree with, but have no choice.  Barry is setting this up with his Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a trade agreement among twelve Pacific Rim countries signed on 4 February 2016 in Auckland, New Zealand.  Basically the group could tell us we will be taxed for carbon use, etc. and we have no say about it.  Senate leader Mich McConnel (Rep) had a vote that gave Barry the power to secure the deal without a Senate vote.  (McConnel is like Boehner was when leading Congress.)

So you see how Soros funds chaos in the US for his benefit and the benefit of the Dems.  Understand this as well.

Any communist movement needs its foot soldiers, its agitators, its muscle.  Here is the left wing muscle for the commie Dems -
   black lives matter
   La Rasa aka illegal Mexicans
   Occupy wall street (hippies)
   Unions like SEIU

The whole muslim importation on a massive scale is designed to provide unrest down the road, in another 10 - 20 years (much like Belgium and France have now).

Something BIG is suppose to happen this summer, before mid August.  I think it will be rioting at the Rep convention in Cleveland.  I think Soros and Barry both are aware and both will be ready to use it to their advantage.  What ever happens, I think it will set precious metals much higher.

Ok, history time.  Grandpa Bill did not have a good childhood.  He did not talk about it much.  When in high school he moved out to live with Merle and Morris Eckberg on their farm to "work for free" just to get away.  Bob Eckberg and Jean Eckberg Dawes were Merle and Morris's kids.  Grandpa Bill dated Grandma Eva and Jean dated Duane.  They did double dates.  Grandma Eva was raised with Duane by Frank and Anna Dawes.  Jean had arthritis even in High School.  Sometimes Duane would carry her.  They would double date to the movies.  This weekend was the funeral for Dixie Eckberg, Bob Eckberg's wife.  You will see that the Dawes's and Eckbergs are pretty close, now you know why.

Future story, why the Dawes's and Palmgren's are pretty close.

Never forget to hug your loved ones.  A daily hug is recommended.

I assume that Rush has been pounding home the "Country Club" republican talking point but not sure about the "Hilrey" spelling. I'm about 99% sure my dad knows how to spell Hillary's name so I'm assuming there is some insult involved by spelling her name that way.

Quote
Ok - family story.  Dawes / Palmgren ties.  Grandma Eva's Grandpa was William Stafford Dawes (Sr.).  Her dad was Will Jr.  Will Sr. raised the big Persian plow horses back before mechanization (tractors) started. He had some awesome strong studs.  In the day, families were big as much help was needed on farms.  Will Sr. had many kids and a couple of the girls married Palmgrens (Palmgren is a Swedish name.)  I do not have the names now but will in a future email.  So basically the Palmgren's and Dawes's around Brewster are all related.  Dawes's and Palmgren's have land all the way from a mile (and more) East of Grandpa Bill's Colby farm to South of Edson, KS.  The Palmgrens were more South of Brewster and South of Edson.

=================== 

Economics = we have negative interest rate.  That means home loans are cheap, old people make nothing on their interest in bank accounts, companies buy out other companies, GOLD & SILVER and farmland go up in value as the value of the dollar goes down.  Barry has printed so much money with his QE1, QE2, QE3 and so many people have lost jobs and so many people are working jobs well below their skill level.  Farmland goes up because the crops can be sold on the world market (as the value of the dollar drops). Of course it also depends upon world crop production and other market determinants.

Soros has been wrong on the market dropping (so far) and right about Gold & Silver going up.  I am pretty loaded up on gold and silver.  Soros has been good to me.

BIG STORY NOT TOLD.  So Wiki Leaks reports that the Dem party conspired with Hilreys campaign to damage Bernie - translation - ensure there would be no way he could win.  So, what's the story?  The story is this confirms that the Dem primaries are "rigged", the winner already picked out.  This action and the whole "super delegate" process they use ensures that they will never have a rebel like Bernie or Trump represent their party.  So, how does that make Dems feel?  Makes no difference as they are brain dead or just don't care anyway.

So, if the Repubs did the same thing, Jeb or Marco would be the candidate now.

What I really enjoy seeing is the "country club Repubs" belly aching about Trump and trying still to sabotage him or throw support behind Hilrey.  That tells you who they really are.  Romney is a prime country club Repub who acts this childish way.  I love to see them whine like the little liberals they really are.  It forces them out in the open, to show their real colors.

So it is show time, big time entertainment time now.  What how Trump takes Hilrey apart and watch how the media and country club Repubs do everything they can to make her look like a winner (and not look crooked - which is impossible),

Control.  What governments strive to achieve, control over their people.  What liberals want government to have all of, strong control over every aspect of peoples lives - ie communism.  Liberals and the media drool over how cool Cuba is, free health care, no racism.  They do not tell you about no freedom for the people of Cuba, the many, many who have disappeared and others who are in prisons.  Case to study - Valenzuela.  A 16 years ago, Valenzuela citizens were the wealthiest in South America - oil.  Then they went communist.  They eliminated racism.  They took over the oil production (stole it) from oil companies.  The people are now are the poorest in South America.  They get about 5 hours of electricity per day.  Are able to buy enough food to stay alive, but most all are loosing weight.  Food has to be shipped in from Columbia.

Hugo Chávez was a Venezuelan politician who served as the 64th President of Venezuela from 1999 to 2013.  A commie.  The liberals loved him, right up there with Fidel in Cuba.

All for now.

"When you have your health, you have everything"! 

Every day, appreciate the little things - a hot cup of coffee in the morning, a hug you get or you give, (having air conditioning), and especially having the freedoms that you have.

Finally, Zika.  This is worse that a country getting nuked ! ! ! ! !
Anybody going to Florida ?
This can destroy generations.
This is in NY, FL, TX already.
There has been a confirmed spread to a care giver NOT by mosquito, sex, or blood exposure.  They still don't know how, just that it happened.  Likely moisture from breath or cough or sneeze, my best guess.
This has the ability to depopulate a few generations of people.

Obama is amazing

 
This is certainly a different way to
look at what is happening...................
 
 
One 82-year-old lady loves Obama and
she may have a very good point. She says that Obama is amazing, and is rebuilding the American dream! She gives us an entirely new slant on the "amazing" job Obama is doing, and she says that she will thank God for the President.
 
Keep reading for her additional comments and an explanation. When
discussing Obama, she says:
 
1.Obama destroyed the Clinton Political
Machine, driving a stake through the heart of Hillary's presidential aspirations -something no Republican was ever able to do.
 
2.Obama killed off the Kennedy Dynasty - no more Kennedys trolling Washington looking
for booze and women wanting rides home.
 
3.Obama is destroying the Democratic
Party before our eyes!  Dennis Moore had never lost a race. Evan Bayh had never lost a race.  Byron Dorgan had never lost a race. Harry Reid - soon to be GONE!  These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed.  By the
end of 2016, dozens more will be gone. Just think, in December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In two election cycles, they had picked up 14 Senate seats and 52 House seats. The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement and the Republican
Party. However, in just one term, Obama put a stop to all of this and gave the House and the Senate - back to the Republicans.
 
4.Obama has completely exposed liberals
and progressives for what they are.  Sadly, every generation seems to need to re-learn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge.  Obama is bringing home the lesson very well: Liberals tax, borrow and spend.  Liberals won't bring
themselves to protect America. Liberals want to takeover the economy Liberals think they know what is best for everyone.  Liberals are not happy until they are running YOUR life.
 
5.Obama has brought more Americans back
to conservatism than anyone since Reagan.  In one term, he has rejuvenated the Conservative Movement and brought out to the streets millions of freedom loving Americans. Name one other time when you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking
back America!
 
6.Obama, with his "amazing leadership,"
has sparked the greatest period of sales of firearms and ammunition this country has seen.  Law abiding citizens have rallied and have provided a "stimulus" to the sporting goods field while other industries have failed, faded, or moved off-shore.
 
 
7.In all honesty, 4 years ago I was more afraid than I have been in my life.  Not afraid
of the economy, but afraid of the direction our country was going. I thought, Americans have forgotten what this country is all about. My neighbors and friends, even strangers, have proved to me that my lack of confidence in the greatness and wisdom of the
American people has been flat wrong.
 
8.When the American people wake up, no smooth talking teleprompter reader can fool them!
Barack Obama has served to wake up these great Americans!  Again, I want to say: "Thank you, Barack Obama!" After all, this is exactly the kind of hope and change we desperately needed!!
 
 
9.He has saved Carter's legacy and made
Jimmy Carter happy, since Jimmy is no longer the worst president we've ever had.  Credit goes to where credit is due. I feel better now !
 
 
10.Instead of having a President who was respected by other world leaders, we had a President
whose closest fans were movie stars, rappers and former drug dealers.
 
 
THANK YOU OBAMA

Kids,


Read this.  Understand this.  Implement the information.



=====  HEALTH  =======  IMMUNE SYSTEM  =========


Definitions:


Free Radical - an especially reactive atom or group of atoms that has one or more unpaired electrons; especially : one that is produced in the body by natural biological processes or introduced from outside (as in tobacco smoke, toxins, or pollutants) and that can damage cells, proteins, and DNA by altering their chemical structure.


An antioxidant is a molecule that inhibits the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that can produce free radicals, leading to chain reactions that may damage cells.


Translation - "Free Radicals can be created by Oxidation".  Anti oxidants stops oxidation (the creation of free radicals).


Apitherapy encompasses the use of bee hive products including honey, pollen, and bee venom. Apitherapy is used to treat many illnesses and to alleviate pain from injuries both chronic and acute.  Usually it is used to refer to doing bee stings.


==============  


Health and your immune system:


Everyday a battle occurs in your body.  Free radicals are created and anti oxidants stop the process (reduce the number of free radicals).  Free radicals are / cause damaged cells, ie sources of health problems and diseases, like cancer.


As you get older and/or as your immune system gets weaker, the free radicals start winning the daily war.  Sickness and disease results.


Understanding this, now you know why it is important to keep our immune system strong.


Activities that increase free radicals are smoking, using tobacco, working around x-rays, being out in the sun a lot (especially at higher altitudes), over use of tanning beds.


Activities that reduce free radicals - taking anti oxidants like drinking green tea, taking vitamin E and vitamin C, taking resveratrol, eating BEE POLLEN.  Also avoiding exposure to tobacco, radiation, over exposure to the sun.


Other activities to help maintain a strong immune system:  Exercise & Healthy Eating


Regular exercise, sweating, stretching, physical labor.


Eating lots of fruits and vegetables.  


Avoiding soda pop, sweets, and sugary deserts.


I can not emphasize enough the importance of Bee Pollen.  It also helps your body to rid itself of toxins.  This is so important to a strong immune system.


Finally, you can 'super charge' your immune system with venom.  One bee sting per week is a good level.  Make sure you are not allergic to the venom first.  The practice of bee stings is called apitherapy.  The sting challenges your immune system, making it stronger, so you do not get sick as much and helps your body fight off other sicknesses (ie just like anti oxidants, but in a different way).  It has kept me free of arthritis.


Bee pollen also provides key trace minerals and amino acids to your body - very important.


Herpetologists, who raise poisonous snakes, gradually build up their immune systems to tolerate levels of the venoms their snakes produce (that way when they do get bit, they do not die).  The side effects are that they do not get any diseases!  No MS, no arthritis, nothing.  That is how you do the ultimate super charging of your immune system.  I will tell you that it is easier to get a snake than it is to buy venom - now days.  I will also tell you that it is recommended that you do bee stings (apitherapy) before you even consider snake venom.  I do know a beekeeper who can help you get a hive.  Cost is about $600.


=============================   


You now know more about immune system strengthening than most medical doctors.


They will know about free radicals and anti oxidants.  They will look at you funny about apitherapy and any other venom therapy.  They have not been taught anything about that and tend not to research on their own - other than what the AMA provides in medical updates, primarily regarding new medicines.


What do you call a doctor who has non of his patients on medication ?  Broke.


What do you call a doctor who provides you a prescription med for all your aliments?  Busy, cause he must see you to continue writing prescriptions.


Translations:  Take control of your own health, or pay the consequences.


It's your decision.  Most likely there is an important balance of what you may really need compared to what you get prescribed.  People in their 80's get so many prescriptions that problems arise between medications reacting with each other.  Their kidneys, liver, and immune system pay a heavy price as they are what filter the meds out of the body.  The side effects of meds can devastate your body.


It is important for you to 'self educate' on any meds you take.  Know what the side effects are, the long term effects from taking each med.  Some web sites like WebMD are good sources.  You can always ask your doctor good questions as well.  A pharmacist is also a good source of information.


========================================  


Action items to consider for your health:


Phase I


1)  Avoiding (or minimizing) radiation exposure


2)  Taking a multi vitamin w/minerals daily


3)  Learn side effects of meds you take


----------  


Phase II


4)  Taking anti oxidants like vitamin E, C


5)  Eating bee pollen daily (1/4 tsp)  (I can provide)


----------- 


Phase III


6)  Apitherapy (bee stings - 1 a week)


-----------  


Phase IV


7)  I am researching, personally.


====================



I hope you find knowledge and value in this information.


Remember, it is just information unless it is acted upon (applied, used).


 My study shows that "being a herpetologist for 10 years slows down your aging process so much, you get an extra 6 years of longevity".  That is healthy longevity (as opposed to wheel chair longevity).  Translation - if you sit on this information, you will not benefit from it.  You must apply it.


Apitherapy comment - getting a bee sting on your knee where you have pain, causes the body to create cortisone sending it to the sting area to help the body heal.  That brings relief to the existing hurt area as well.  The area will turn red and feel physically warm for a couple days.  This brings pain relief, but is a temporary fix for the hurt.

Post by: ben ji on July 26, 2017, 09:25:38 AM
So here is your Washington update.

==============================================================

============  Health story ========== 

Talking with my bee buddy, he told of a couple people our age which he knows that have colon cancer.  People were caught by surprise with the diagnosis.
My comment to him was "What proactive measures are you taking to prevent getting colon cancer?".  He looked at me like a deer in the headlights, totally silent.
I said, "I am doing two things.  I take a psyllum husk (pooper pill) daily and I take venom".
He still looked at me in silence.  I was amused.

One:  Colon cancer is caused by "inflammation" in the lower intestine.  Basically you get polyps (little pouch skin growths) when you get old.  Inflammation and cancer can develop under these.  Taking psyllum husk (pooper pill) keeps waste from forming on the inside of your intestines.  Such build up of waste can aid in the onset of colon cancer.

Two:  Southern copperhead venom has a protein in it which stops the tumor growth of cancer.  It does so by blocking the growth (feeding) ability of the tumor.

Thinking about it there are several other things like exercise, vitamin and mineral supplements, and bee pollen which all help as well.  Bee pollen actually helps the body minimize inflammation.


==========  Donald out smarting the media, again.  =============== 

The Donald absolutely infuriates the left wing media, outsmarting them again.

Going to a Boy Scout National Jamboree, Donald let the "patriotic" scouts know that the last president never once attended a scout event.  He went on to complement the organization and them in developing their citizenship skills and for all the volunteer work they do to help America and Americans.

The media hates the scouts.  They represent white America, they represent patriotism, they are the enemy of the left.  They are "Not" victims in America who need Dem protection, so they are the enemy.  Scouting teaches "self reliance, responsibility, and leadership" all of which means they do not need Dems to protect them.

So, Donald once again out smarts the media, letting them show America just how left wing anti American the media (and the Dems) really are.

Great appearance and great message Donald !


==========  Gov't Health Care Note  =========

1) Understand that when the gov't gets involved in something, it generally gets totally screwed up (inefficient), it does not work, it is very costly, AND you pay for it (taxes).

2)  Note the story of baby Charlie Gard in England.  Charlie was born with mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome.  He is covered under the health care system in England.  Parents wanted to get him treatment to save his life in America, but the English (Gov't) Health care system said "no".  The parents got private donations to pay for the travel and treatments themselves.  The English (Gov't) Health care system would not allow it.  The baby could NOT leave England !

This is an example of where people trade their "freedom" for gov't security, unknowingly.

This is an example of what America can look forward to as our Gov't takes over health care.


=============  Donald draining the SWAMP update  ===========

Donald see's that Mueller, the "Russian COLUSION" investigator, has loaded up his investigation team with Obama and Hlry staffers.  He sees that Mueller is now digging into his business deals from years ago.  He recognizes that this is a "witch" hunt to find something criminal on him or some associate AND he realizes that this is way off the intended track of investigating "Russian COLUSION".  Finally, this is another example of a great waste of tax payer money for Dem political purposes.  The "establishment" is solidly behind Mueller's actions also.

Watch for Don, to replace DOJ head Sessions and terminate Mueller.  Watch for the media outrage and demands for impeachment as a result.  Know that it is very legal for the Prez (Executive Branch) to do this per the constitution.  The media will tell you otherwise.

Entertainment value:  Just a few months ago Sessions was a "racists, misogynous homophobe".  Now after they see Trump's unhappiness with his job performance, the left media love the great DOJ head Sessions.  Trump is not a politician, he is a business man - an outsider.  If it is broke, he will fix it.  That is why his supporters LOVE him.

Side note:  The media still is using the template to frame stories that it is "unbelievable that people were so stupid to vote for Don".  That was evident in their boy scout story coverage yesterday.  It lets you know what the media, the left, the Dems think about average Americans - that they are stupid and need liberals to tell them what to think about issues.  That is why Barry thought it no problem to lie about health care to  the American people.  If he had been honest, the health care bill would not have passed.  Recall that it was NOT passed as a TAX on the American people - that change came with Chief Justice Roberts so that the health care bill would be legal per the constitution (a tax).  (Example of the Washington Establishment "colluding" to get what it wants - ie health care bill)


At some point in time, the Washington establishment is going to feel really, really threatened by Don.  Pray for Don ! 


The Washington establishment is the swamp !

======  One of the Grandpa Bill WWII stories.  ======

Horses out produce the caterpillars.
Locals used horses to pull downed trees to
the saw mill.  The forestry engineers used
caterpillars.  One time they had a "90 day
wonder" that really rubbed everyone the
wrong way.  The result was that the horses
brought more lumber in than the caterpillars.
It did not take the army long to get the
lieutenant replaced.

Grandpa's nick name was "Sawdust".  There was
another co-worker named "Sawdust" as well.
I guess one was Sawdust 1 and the other was
Sawdust 2.  His name was William Lewis, out
of Illinois.  Grandpa Bill visited him in the
1990's I recall.  Also in October of 1993 I
put together a reunion for the 1392nd
Forestry Engineers.  Using a 1947 address
list, out of 180 names, I got four to attend.
Some were in too bad of health to come,
many wives replied that their husbands would
have come but they'd passed away recently.
Here is the list of those that came.

Wesley Parker
Calvin Tanner
William Ji
William Lewis

Grandpa Bill's best friends seemed to be
Sawdust aka William Lewis and
Preston Sullivan "Sully" out of Alabama.
Later I corresponded with the daughter of
Harry Newton, who I believe was an NCO
(Non Commissioned Officer) for the 1392nd.

Wesley Parker was out of Colorado and was
a park ranger for many years.

In 1967 (10) ICBM's (inter continental ballistic missiles) went off line within seconds of each other following the appearance of a UFO at the Malmstrom AFB missile site in Montana.

Here is a link to the entire story.  http://www.cufon.org/cufon/malmstrom/malm1.htm

You can cut and paste the link into your browser to read the whole story.

After review, a consulting engineer was only able to re-create the missile shut down by physically introducing a 10V pulse into a data connector, and that was only effective 80% of the time.

It is an interesting read.

            ======  Health Notes  =====

Your three big killers are:
    1 - Cancer
    2 - Heart disease
    3 - Being dumb

Actions to take to prevent these problems:
    1 - Cancer
           a) eat bee pollen as it helps your body suppress tumor growth
           b) avoid sugary foods, especially pop, as this creates the environment for cancer
           c) avoid exposure to carcinogens (smoking, chemical exposure especially herbicides)
           d) take psyllum husk to keep your intestines cleaned out (reduce cancer environment)
           e) avoid processed foods like bologna, hot dogs

     2 - Heart disease
           a) exercise daily (especially a cardio exercise)
           b) take 1/2 an aspirin daily (minimizes plaque build up that causes hearth attacks)
           c) avoid fatty foods and processed foods like bologna, hot dogs

     3 - Being dumb
            Do Not Do These Things -
           a) drive while sleepy
           b) sky dive
           c) scuba dive
           d) smoke or chew tobacco
           e) race cars
            f) ignore your body's health warning (signs like cold sweats at night)

Ben ji- "Why would you do that? You can watch it anytime on youtube"

Dad- "Because I want to save a video in case they take it town"

Ben ji- "Hmmm, what video are you worried about them taking down?"

Dad- "Well they captured a grey alien in brazil and have some footage of it, here look, see how it walks around(shows me video  )" http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk7z8zs4dG4&feature=youtu.be&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DJk7z8zs4dG4%26feature%3Dyoutu.be

Kids,

If you have not figured it out yet - the whole rus


There are "major" rumblings in DC.  The "establishment" has done everything it could to keep this quite, buried, dead (literally).

Seems that Comey, Mueller, etc. worked their way up the gov't pay ladder by doing favors for powerful Dems.  As we have seen Comey protecting hilry - saying she didn't "intend" to break all those felony laws with her server.  Well, an FBI / CIA informant is ready to testify Monday that she received payoff money from the Russns in the Uranium One deal.  In addition, she shuffled about $400 million around in off shore bank accounts to hide it all.  It was not just one transaction, but many.  It is called "money laundering" with it ending up in the Clntn Foundation.

By the way, the informant survived an assassination attempt this past week.
He is in hiding.

A big name Dem very close to the Clntns in Texas just announced he was retiring, leaving politics, etc.  found him dead (apparent suicide).  Basically he was a liability because he knew too much.

The pilot of the plane on the tarmac where Bill just happened to meet Lynch, he was to testify but he died (while in protective custody).

Even Anthony Bourdain met up with Clntn justice - his girlfriend was abused by big dem donor Harvey Weinstein.  Anthony found dead in Paris (suicide).  He had tweeted 2 wks prior that hlry's goons had been threatening him.

So, the pot is about to boil over.  This Page lady is singing like a canary.  Says Barry wanted daily updates on the FBI's actions to set Trump up.  Much bigger than just hlry.  Hlry is now a BIG liability to a lot of people.

Let's see what happens.  Something BIG will happen very soon.

PS - Weiner's lap top had "all" the Hlry emails, including the 33,000 that were "lost".  FBI has that now.  FBI is about to boil over because they have been told to "shut up" by the top people running it.  Weiner's laptop also had a very, very bad satanic video of hlry and Huma killing a little girl.  It was more than the NYC cops could handle watching the vid.

----------------------------------------- 

Know why all we hear about is Don's "Russian COLUSION" ?

1)  It is the dem excuse why hlry lost.
2)  It is the dem excuse why they loose so badly this fall.

Propaganda.  If you repeat the same lie long enough, frequently enough, and loud enough, it will become the truth.  (Gobbels comment, propaganda minister of Germany in WWII).  In America it is the "Hate Trump" news media propaganda and the "Russian COLUSION" propaganda.

The purpose of the endless "COLUSION" the media / dems is to divert attention away from all this other information being shared in Congressional and Senate investigations.

----------------------------------------- 

Makes you want to be a dem doesn't it ?

They will bury very deep the hlry satanic stuff.
They will attempt now to save Barry - but his staff is complicit in "protecting hlry" of many felonies.  By doing so, they have committed many felonies.

This is a good lesson in commie / socialists and why they can not be trusted in power in DC.  It is also a lesson in how big and deep the "swamp" is.

We are due for a "battle royal".  Something is going to happen, something big.

Dad

Dear sys,

If you get the chance you should look at the last New Yorker magazine. One article deals with Charitable Foundations and their probable net negative effect on US society. Another article describes the actions of the Singer hedge fund. This action of this fund is one reason that the Telecome Italia stock has declined in value. You would find the article interesting and a bit sad (to me) regarding how capitalism functions. The articles are too long to describe via E-mail.

I believe my dads recent obsession with Lincoln has to do with trump, been getting a lot of civil war history lately.

Be sure to read the venom update....

Quote
Kids,

As you get older, time moves faster.  Time becomes 'fleeting'.
Do remember to 'smell the roses each day' - take time to reflect and
appreciate the little things of the day.

Each of you, know that you are thought well of and loved!

Brief history lesson you likely never learned.

There are two national civil war battle fields in the US.
1) Gettysburg, PA
2) Vicksburg, MS
At Gettysburg, Gen'l Meade defeated Robert E Lee July 1 through the 3rd, 1863.
At Vicksburg, Gen'l Ulysses Grant defeated Gen'l John Pemberton
May 18 - July  4th, 1863.
After that, it was mainly "clean up" with Gen'l Sherman marching through the South
leaving a path of destruction.
So good news for President Lincoln (the first Republican president).
July 3 he wins Gettysburg, July 4th he wins Vicksburg.

Side note:  It was customary for defeated soldiers to leave their arms, loose them.
At Vicksburg, Gen'l Pemberton explaned to Gen'l Grant that many of the
confederate soldiers brought their own personal weapons to fight with.  Going back
to civilian life, they will need them to hunt with to feed their families.  Grant
let the confederates keep their weapons under oath to no re-enter the war.

The confederates finally officially surrendered April 9, 1865.  Lee surrendered to Grant.
So it was almost two years after the big victories before the war ended.

Early on, Lincoln went through several generals before finding ones that could
win.  Lee won many early battles, usually having Stonewall Jackson run his
calvery unit in on a flank of even from behind as he did at Harper's Ferry.
Lincoln had many critics in the media.  He put them on a prison barge in the
middle of a river until war's end.  When one of them said Grant was a drunk,
Lincoln's comment was "I wish I knew what kind of whiskey he drank, I'd send
him a case"!
One final note:  Many of the generals on both sides knew each other and were
even friends as they attended West Point.  Robert E Lee graduated first in his
class at West Point.  Ulysses Grant graduated last in his.  Lee was older.

==================================== 

Washington, DC

Assuming he survives, Trump can unclassify FBI documents that show Obama, Hillary, and the crew of Comey, McCabe, Mueller, Strozk, Page, et al conspired with fusion GPS to frame Trump by putting 3-6 spies in his campaign.  This "insurance policy" was to be able to remove Trump from office should he win.

Until Trump does this, there is limited "swamp cleaning" to be done.

He can declare a "state of emergency" at which time he has plenty of legal authority to
round up bad guys and run them through military courts.  Basically Trump has the
cards, is playing the game for re-election.  If he moves too fast, it is forgotten in a year.

So far Trump has played his enemies like a stradivarius violin, letting them make
fools of themselves.

With Dems in charge of the "House" of Congress, it will be entertaining.  They will cause
by their actions, big Republican wins in 2020.  Example.  Currently Dems are supporting illegal aliens over American veterans and poor.  The wall is the centerpiece of this battle.  This is very obvious to American voters.

Another big note - Trump is an outsider.  He is not part of the "bought and paid for"
inside the beltway Washington establishment.  Because of this, he is a grave
threat to keeping the "establishment" in power in DC.  The establishment would be
the power players in DC including all the DEMs and the RINO Republicans.  Basically
the group that 'sells out' the American people.

One thing to always remember about the DEMs - they are a "Godless" party.

=======================================

Stock market remains volitile.  Bankers said "avoid the market" back on November. 
They were right.  The big risk is that there developes a "conflict" with China.
This could happen in the Caribbean near Venezuela.  If it developes, the market
could crash, badly.  Dems would love this - impeachment depends on popularity of
a President.

=========================================

Trip to FL, visit with a herpitologist (snake venom professional).
I learned a couple things.
1)  Wm Haast, venom pioneer who lived to 100 did several things to extend
his longevity.  His venom use was supplemented by his "low caloric" diet.
So now, I am adjusting to more salads, fruits, veggies, smaller portions.
2)  Venom strength.  I assumed one worked up to near "full strength" venom.
I learned Haast used 1/1000th venom.  Another one I know uses 1/100th.
Consequently, I am "hotter" than both.  So, tonight I doubled the water content,
weakening my venom by half (about a 1/3 venom).  I need to "think through"
the benefits of the stronger, hotter current mix.

===========================================

I am in WKS much more now.  Last trip I was able to clean up a junk pile - old
refridge, old couch bed frame/springs, and assorted junk metal.  Farm looks
much nicer now. 
The mile of dirt road to the farm is "excellent" as the wind turbine company, engie,
has improved it with patch.  It is very good, unfortunately when done they will take
the valuable patch with them.  Currently there are about 12 turbines fully assembled.
They range from I-70 heading in a West direction in two rows about 2 miles apart.
When done on the West, they will then start on the East side which is much more
challenging.  There are many more buried, unmarked pipes and wires on the East
side.

If you're consuming a consistent volume of solution (say, 1 CC), then the amount of water in the solution does matter.

When I was in High School we had expert/professional snake handler.  He had several types of poisonous snakes and a Gila monster.  Let the snakes craw all over his deformed arm; which he explained was bitten by several poisonous snakes; including a Gila monster that chewed on his arm too.  Anyway, he told us that his nerves in his arm got progressively more injured after about a dozen bites.  He told us that when the Giza monster chewed on his arm it got infected and is the reason his arm was so deformed.  They had to cut muscle out of his arm; which was why he had limited use of it.  He did tell us that due to have been bitten by so many different snakes, it was less painful with each succeeding bite. He told us he was immune from the venom of most snakes, but not the Gila monster.


It was one of those things I will never forget.  :horrorsurprise:

Just heard a great story from my mom about my dad.

Imagine, its 1980, my parents are fresh grads out of Kansas State U and living it up on the town.

Its Big8 tournament time in KC and KU just beat Mizzou in the semifinals to face Kstate in the championship game. My parents are eating at Annie's Santa Fe on the plaza when norm stewart and his whole family come in just after losing to KU.

People start stopping by to talk to Norm but my dad notices that everyone is ignoring his underage grandson at the edge of the table. My dad buys a pitcher of margaritas and gives it to him and asks "Hey, do you have any extra tickets to the championship game tomorrow?"

My parents tickets ended up being 2 rows behind the KU Bench for the championship game.

Went over to the parents for dinner tonight, some highlights

1. My dad was telling me about how he read an article about how vaping was bad so I asked him if he had ever considered vaping his snake venom. "No, vaping wouldnt work, you have to inject it" I asked why you had to inject it and he said "Science"

2. I asked him how he knows when its time for another injection and he said "Whenever I start getting cranky, usually around 21 days"

3. We spent about 30 minutes looking up who has gotten the most crop subsidies around the farm and debating whether or not they had enough land to marry my sister (Inside joke for like 15 years where he tells my sister about some bachelor farmer with land in WKS who is looking for a wife)

4. His name popped up in the subsidy search for the first time and he was really proud of it.

5. I asked him about trumps claims that windmills cause cancer and told me it was fake news and asked for a source...I performed a quick google search and played the clip where trump said they cause cancer...he said it wasnt turned up loud enough and he didnt hear it.  :ROFL:

6. He was talking about running for office as a county commissioner but can't now unless he changed his address to the farm.

The best thing about fall and the colder weather--Mrs. Freshly's Boston Creme Honey Buns are back in the vending machine.  Woo-hoo!!!!! (They don't have them during warmer weather, because the chocolate melts in the un-airconditioned vending truck.)

It's a great day to be in [REDACTED].

Love,
Dad

The parents are down FL and it looks like my dad has stopped at some snake farms/sanctuaries

Subject: Venom

Great info on Bill Haast and his successful treatment of MS patients.

That visit you had to his Punta Gorda facility was very, very rare.  He did not let many onto those grounds.

I talked with a guy who knew him and worked with him for years.  Learned much about his health habits.

Great day....


Not sure where he went today but the visit he mentioned in the email happened when I was a kid in the mid-late 90's. I think my dad learned about Bill Haast from a discovery channel show or something and thats when he first became interested in snake venom.

He wrote Bill Haast a letter and asked if we could stop by his snake farm when we were in Florida over spring break. Bill Haast met my dad at the gate and he eventually ended up giving our family a tour of his private snake farm where he lived.


Just realized Bill Haast has a wikipedia page and its rough ridin' nuts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Haast

Quote
When he was 19 he joined a man who had a roadside snake exhibit, and went with him to Florida. While there, he ended up rooming with a moonshiner on the edge of the Everglades, and became proficient at capturing all kinds of snakes.

Haast eventually returned home, where his mother had leased a concession stand at a lakeside resort. Haast added a snake exhibit to the business. There he met and eloped with his first wife, Ann. They moved to Florida so that Haast could pursue his dream of opening a "snake farm". After his wife became pregnant, Haast lost his job when the speakeasy he was working at was raided by IRS agents.
The couple moved back to New Jersey, where Haast studied aviation mechanics, and was certified after four years.

With his certification, he moved to Miami to work for Pan American World Airways. After the United States entered World War II, Haast served as a flight engineer on Pan Am airliners flying under contract to the United States Army Air Corps. These flights took him to South America, Africa and India, where he bought snakes to bring back to America, including his first cobra.

Quote
By 1965 the Serpentarium housed more than 500 snakes in 400 cages and three pits in the courtyard. Haast extracted venom 70 to 100 times a day from some 60 species of venomous snakes, usually in front of an audience of paying customers. He would free the snakes on a table in front of him, then catch the snakes bare-handed, and force them to eject their venom into glass vials with a rubber membrane stretched across the top.

Soon after opening the Serpentarium, Haast began experimenting with building up an acquired immunity to the venom of King, Indian and Cape cobras by injecting himself with gradually increasing quantities of venom he had extracted from his snakes, a practice called mithridatism.
In 1954 Haast was bitten by a common, or blue, krait. At first he believed his immunization to cobra venom would protect him from the krait venom, and continued with his regular activities for several hours. However, the venom eventually did affect him, and he was taken to a hospital where it took him several days to recover. A krait anti-venom was shipped from India, but when it arrived after a 48-hour flight, he refused to accept it. He received his first cobra bite less than a year after he started his immunization program. During the 1950s, he was bitten by cobras about twenty times. His first king cobra bite was in 1962. Haast was also bitten by a green mamba. Many times Haast donated his blood to be used in treating snake-bite victims when a suitable anti-venom was not available. More than twenty of those individuals recovered.[7]

As for why he may have been hesitant to let my family onto his snake farm.......  :horrorsurprise:

Quote
On September 3, 1977, a 6-year old boy sitting atop the wall surrounding the Serpentarium's alligator and crocodile pit fell into the pit, and a 12-foot crocodile lunged ten feet and grabbed the boy. The boy's father and another man, Nicolas Caulineau, jumped into the pit and straddled the crocodile. Nonetheless, the boy, who was battered and submerged, was killed.

The incident left Bill Haast badly shaken. He shot the 1800-pound crocodile nine times with a Luger pistol, yet it was still an hour before it died. Before this, the crocodile had lived for 20 years in the pit without incident. Haast's mental trauma over the boy's death eventually led to the closure of the Serpentarium on South Dixie Highway. Although the boy's father did not blame Haast for his son's death, Haast told reporters he wanted nothing else to do with the Serpentarium and, in any event, would never again house crocodiles there. The incident did not end Haast's interest in venom research

He started with bee venom then upgraded, pretty sure he still gets stung from time to time but he "needs it hotter". Last time I was at the cat ranch he was catching some of his bee's in a Mason Jar to give to someone he knows so that they could try it out.

When you remark about how weird 92 degree weather in the middle of October is in Kansas, it reeks of agreeing with "Fakenews Lamestream Media's narrative" about manmade climate change.

Greetings to my Jr. Republicans.


Election.


This should be an absolute "blow out".

20% of those attending Trump rallies are former democrats.

20% are people who have not actively voted in the past (new voters).

Traditionally Republicans are lucky to get 8% of the black vote.  Trump has over 20%.

Trump is "cleaning up" on the Latino vote.


Joe says "vote for me because I hate Trump".

(disregard his pledge to raise taxes by $2,600 + per avg family)

(disregard his support of BLM and Anitfa along with their violence)

(disregard the religious ethics of supporting abortion)

(disregard his support of the "green new deal" which will cripple America)

(disregard the goal of Dems to make gun ownership illegal)


Trump says "vote for me and I will -

lower your taxes,

clean up the DC swamp,

build the wall,

bring back jobs to America,

increase income to American households,

help businesses to thrive,

fix trade agreements designed to screws over America and offshore jobs,

make America great again.


Watch for new charges against Trump to keep him on defense so he does not put them all in jail.  The FBI under Wray is still "establishment" controlled.  I think most of the DOJ is as well.  FBI hid the Hunter Biden laptop info since last December.


Democrats (including Michelle Obama) have warned us if Trump wins, cities will burn.

That used to be called "a terrorist threat".

But then they are Democrat cities so, oh well.


Numerous black celebrities have stepped forward to support Trump - minimal coverage by the media.


--------------------------------------------------------


I have been researching a whole new radical health restoration concept.


Cancer research
===============

Cancer thrives in an acid heavy system
where the blood and organs are flooded
with processed salt, sugar, animal fat,
and artificial food.

Your body struggles to filter out the
toxins found in most conventional forms
of food - like antibiotics, hormones,
pesticides, insecticides, herbicides,
bleach, ammonia, flouride, heavy
metals and more.

The less oxygen, the faster cancer
spreads.  The more oxygen the slower
cancer spreads.  


More later on how you "oxygenate" your body to destroy cancer.


This information illustrates how important detoxing your body can be.  Bee pollen is the number one best way to rid your body of toxins !


----------------------------------------------------  


Trace minerals and health -


KEY = "Dead Doctors Don't Lie", CD by Joel Wallach.

I highly recommend this to you.


Recall that going 20, 30 years deficient of a trace mineral can lead to a disease path ?

Some trace minerals can not be absorbed by the body unless they are "colloidal", plant derived (this means they are small enough in size that cells of the body can absorb and use them).  Amazon sells a "colloidal mineral" juice for about $18 - must mix with orange juice to drink (1 swig mineral juice, 5 parts orange juice).


Copper - absolutely key to keeping blood arteries healthy.

Deficiencies cause premature graying of hair, varicose veins, strokes, aneurysms.


Selenium - super cancer fighter mineral.


----------------------------------------------------- 



History lesson, George Washington - insight.


At 21 he joined the Virginia militia.


At 23 he led the VA militia regiment joining the British to take on the French and Indians (war).


Washington was the senior Colonial aide to British General Edward Braddock on the ill-fated Braddock Expedition. This was at the time the largest ever British military expedition ventured into the colonies, and was intended to expel the French from the Ohio Country. The French and their Indian allies ambushed the expedition, mowing down over 900 casualties including the mortally wounded Braddock. During what became known as the Battle of the Monongahela, British troops retreated in disarray but Washington rode back and forth across the battlefield, rallying the remnants of the British and Virginian forces to an organized retreat.  


In this battle, every officer was killed or wounded - except Washington.  He had bullet holes in this jacket, had several horses shot out from under him, and took command to have the remaining soldiers retreating to safety.  Later one Indian chief at the battle said that they were targeting all the officers and he wanted to meet Washington, whom he said was protected by a great spirit.  He had his best marksmen repeatedly shoot at Washington, but he was never hit.


 He led his men in brutal campaigns against the Indians in the west; in 10 months units of his regiment fought 20 battles, and lost a third of its men. Washington's strenuous efforts meant that Virginia's frontier population suffered less than that of other colonies.


It is very important to note that Washington learned how the British military operated from an inside view and knew their weaknesses.  He also learned how the Indians fought (guerrilla style).  This was most important in preparing him for his future leadership role of the Continental army.

You just have to watch for this thread to get bumped. The crazy emails have slowed down considerably since Trump got elected (Maybe 1-2 a year) but if Biden wins I expect them to get back to their peak OBAMA level (1-2 a month).

yeah, being pissed off all of the time is a weird hobby. I just can't imagine working all day, winding down to some dinner and a drink or two, and then turning of the tv to have a guy screaming at you about a "War on.....something different every day". Its bonkers. Watch the rough ridin' baseball game.
