SNOW IN THE FORECAST!

OK, so it's not so really for our area, but still ...

Less than 2 weeks to go before all the campaign commercials give way to Christmas ads.

And the world goes 'round & 'round & 'round ...

LOL I'm not sure "endorse" is the right word. "Endorse" is what people with clout do; E.F. Hutton I ain't. (Does anybody even remember him? "When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen.")

But if I did have any clout - or if I could get anybody to actually listen to me instead of just watching my lips flap - I'd endorse him.

& Rick Burdette for sheriff!

Vote for him because he can do the job not because he looks like Mel Gibson.

hey folks, got the "in terim" librarian interested in getting some Bigfoot books. they's a lissing minx talks on the BFRO discussion board. she pschyologizes Bigfeets. tells you all about them. fella out in Texas says he has two families of Bigfeet that live in the bushes there. Says he hasn't seen George yet but he's expecting him home soon.

Vote for him so you can get him out of town.

That's certainly a good reason for all the politicians, talking heads, criminals & doofuses (doofus-i??) in Clay to vote for him. If he's busy with the Legislature, he's bound to miss some of the shenanigans here at home.

I was reading on AW's advisories page and noticed something that made me chuckle. The Buffalo Gals are selling cookbooks. Nothing wrong with that, however, I wonder if those gals really know what the term "buffalo gals" means out west? If they did, I bet they'd change that name in a New York minute.

a complaint about the bus service to Ivydale/Nebo area. due to the sudden increase in the price of gas, the thought occured to me to use the bus. found a schedule of one day a week to ivydale/nebo area. no time schedule. my observation, bus passes through ivydale about 9 AM ON WED. MORN. RETURNS ABOUT 12/1 pm. after i get my groceries at foodland this leaves me standing outside foodland about 4 hrs. seems to me the schedule could be improved to bettr serve us old people who must save where possible. and i'm sure other people have problems. but an org. whos main focus is higher wages, bigger bonuses and longer vacations and more fringe benefits doesn't worry about the people they are supposed to serve, only about themselves.

I can remember when the library was on the verge of shutting down for lack of funds or any interest from the public or the county commission. TheCCC. Ronnie Haynes, Clinton Nichols, and RT sizemore.
Then a letter published in a previous paper fired some of the women up who then formed THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY org. and raised enough money to keep it open. it has been improving since then. They and VICKI got state funding and raised money from other sources and the computers were acquired. Now it had begun paying enough salary till the goaties clan thinks its worth their while to take it over and so it goes. if its a good job the goaties think it should be theirs and will do anything to get and control it. And LS strikes again. He wrote the letter that got things stirred up. and here he is again.

Actually Vicky was the main problem at the library.

Vicki was a great person. She would do anything for you. Until Dusty had his accident,then her ex selling drugs and getting Dusty involved in the business so to say
and then just when she was doing better she hooked up with that internet freak. He would sell drugs right in front of the library. Every one knew it and she turned a blind eye.(and I believe she truly did not want to know) She has had it rough and I have to say she always treated me kindly, but that guy has been bad news. Her friends told her, people saw the signs. Didn't the blogs have postings and she replied, sounding like a person mentally broken from the stress of being an enabler.
Her mom even knew he would be trouble and would not allow him in their home. He moved her into a place where she was watched and why? Randy waited for him to make a mistake. Caught, he even ratted out on couple of guys and even tried to set up a few people, hell even beat the Hanshaw boy for not paying his drug bill,then being such a smart, upstanding idiot, he failed his drug test. Sad but this is just another side of how drugs ruin people's lives. I miss the old Vicki, she was fun, happy, had friends and would smile. Shame on you Joe for ruining Vicki. She served the library many good years however, its how she served it the last three that have come into question. I will always remember all the unselfish things she did for me and my kids over the years. Love makes you do stupid implusive things. But truth be told, Vicki did make that place friendly, fun, educational, neat. Once that Lurch character came a long, she was not the same.

Talk about ignorant. this is a piece from the link posted above.

But do Muslims have any guarantee of salvation?

Muslims have no guarantee of being saved. They believe that all their works will be accounted for and that on Judgment Day, if your bad works outweigh your good works, you are going to go to hell. But if your good works outweigh your bad works, you'll probably go to heaven. (Since God is all-powerful, they concede that He may do with you as He pleases, even if you have been very righteous. They hope He won't be having a "bad day" at Judgment.) A third possibility is that you could go to hell and burn your sins off for a while and then be allowed into heaven. The only way Muslims can be guaranteed to go to heaven is through "jihad." Although it is often translated "holy war," "jihad" literally means "exerting force for God." One could be in "jihad" by writing a book about Islam, or by sharing his faith to bring others to Islam, or by physically fighting for the cause of Islam. If a Muslim dies in "jihad," he is guaranteed to go to heaven.

Good outweighing the bad? You have to live good-PERIOD. No ifs ands or buts. There won't be a balance there to weigh it out. Straight is the way and narrow is the road!

Stay in hell and burn off your sins and then go to heaven? There is but ONE judgement and you'll go one place or the other.

God having a bad day? Talk about ignorant!

Wasn't "jihad" what the 9/11 folks said, they were fighting the "holy war". Again I say doesn't NOBAMA remind you of 9/11.

And no marvel for satan himself can transform into an angel of light. (he's decieving many already) PRAYER!

Lets say I had a lily white daughter and she were raped by a muslim, it would be a horrible thing. but it still wouldn't change the fact that it wasn't the childs fault and that THOU SHALT NOT KILL! THere aRe lots of people that want babies-adoption maybe? But murder would NOT be an option. Wrong is wrong.

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

The Clendenin library isn't exactly "on the way" to work. Yeah, it's close, but I pass right smack dab in front of the Clay library - twice; coming & going - every time I pick my kid up at the middle school. But yeah, I'll go 2 miles out of my way to go to Clendenin before I'll bother to look for a parking spot in Clay. Doesn't make me a bad person.

Barack Obama becomes the nation’s 44th president, the Democratic nominee’s campaign tossed several McCain-endorsing reporters from traveling on its plane ... Obama spokesman Bill Burton says the valuable seats taken from the ousted reporters have been filled by a film crew documenting the final days of the Obama campaign, and staff from Obama’s hometown papers, the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times, as well as Ebony and Jet magazines, also published in Chicago, Politico reports."

am guilty of copy and pasting that Rose but it showed everything until I I hit the publish spot. What I was trying to post was the receipt from Michelle Obama's stay at the Waldorf Hotel for an afternoon snack costing over $447.00. And it was posted with a picture of her spouting off about sharing a piece of the pie on the campaign trail. Sorry it didn't show up on the site here but maybe you all will see it and get the idea as to why they spent 123 million last month campaigning. Sure would go along ways on a family budget instead of wasting it.

Obama's gonna make sure none of us Little People ever have to bother with pesky ol' ambition or hard work again! He's gonna make sure the rich - those who make a whopping $42,000 a year - take care of us! We can all quit our jobs & finally make those Fat Cats take care of us the way we deserve!

& wait! There's more! He's also gonna get rid of all those pesky legitimate news reporters & replace them with fluff writers for various ethnic magazines I don't read! That'll save me millions!

& OH!! He's gonna make my life so grand I can quit being bitter & won't have to cling to my guns & religion anymore! Shewee!! That's a relief! I was holdin' on for dear life there for a minute!

& Wait! Wait! Wait!! There's even more!! He's never been in the military, so he can bring all new insight to being Commander In Chief! He's not even as tarnished as draft-dodging Bill Clinton & Gimme A Desk Job George W.! He's as pure as the driven snow!

So don't hack on his wife for her overpriced snacks & ruin it all. Vote him in & we'll see CHANGE like we ain't ever even imagined!

Who allowed this in the beginning and why should We The People allow this to continue?
