I figure there are enough people out there who like to Google more than I do that if anybody wants the real numbers, they'll show up eventually.
Personally, I prefer to make stuff up.
BAHAHAHAHAHA LOL
LOL...That's funny. People seem to enjoy the made up "facts" more than the truth, anyway. :P
Hey Rose, You cleaned your chimney out lately? You know i'm coming!
Oh, Smiley, anybody who's ever read any of these blogs already knows that the facts ain't always the facts, anyway. Figured I'd get in on it. LOL
teeheehee Lil Afro Chubby Guy In The Red Suit. I ain't got no chimney! You're just gonna have to knock on the door like everybody else! & don't write on my walls!! BAHAHAHAHA LOL
Hey, Hippy, you should write a book on philosophy! Of course, at 3 words a pop, it's gonna take an awful lot to fill it up!
Hippy!! I've been wondering about you. Hope you're doing alright. :)
I'm thinking 48% of Americans ought to be shot!!!!
I'm also thinking if 86% of men wait until 2 days before Christmas to shop that 12% of women not liking what their husbands gives them isn't a suprise at all!!!!
Imagine how different an experience Black Friday (and Christmas morning) would be if the majority of shoppers were men and not women!!!
do you know where the term black friday came from?
the day that Phillip IV and some POPE turned against the KNIGHTS TEMPLARS and said off with their heads. A FRIDAY. a fleet of KNIGHTS TEMPLARS ships slipped out of LA ROCHELLE France with an enormous treasure and dissappeared towards the new world. has never been found. took place before Columbus. speculation that the treasure of OAK ISLAND may be that treasure.
I thought it was a Jesse Jackson holiday.
Black Friday - the biggest shopping day of the year. The one that retailers hope will get them out of the red. That's what they told me on the Today Show ... teeheehee
If 4 out of 5 people are idiots, how do you know whether or not you're the smart one??
I know four idiots, so I guess I am the smart one!
I've never really had a handle on life, but once, I thought I had a grip. Then I flew headfirst over the handlebars. Go figger.
LOL
I know lots of idiots & honestly, don't tell anybody, but sometimes, I'm one, too ... teeheehee
Sure four out of five people are idiots. The idiots are in Washington D.C. and the smart ones are at home and work.
Does anyone know about Doc Jamie and Fabians' quarrel? Something about Docs' cattle being in Fabians' yard. Any imput?
Hate to hear that about your computer, Hippy. I am glad to see ya' back, though. :)
Ya know, I think Hippy's dilemma is proof positive that we're all missing out on a lot of opportunities in Clay County.
Somebody could make a mint opening up an internet cafe. Combine it with a dry cleaning operation & I'd say you should be set for life.
lady in red: the smart ones are at home working supporting the idiots in Washington. which ones did you say were the idiots.
black friday is when you go to the "ho" house and help the black people with their financial problems.
Word on the street is Doc(should be in lock up)Jamie, went off in Fabian Brown' face over doc' cows. He told Fabian he could strap a bomb on him self an walk in to his house any time, an blow up the whole family(suiside, mind ya)Said he was tired of us killing his people in his home country. Said he was fed up with it and was'nt gona take it any more.No lock up for the Aka Doc' in clayberry.
I have seen days in the past that Doc Jamie or anyone else around dare get in Fabians face for anything. My advice to the Doc is get out while you can if you are lucky you might just make it, and as for strapping a bomb to yourself it may just be the best idea you have had in awhile because you could be the next Arab on the list to disappear.
Black Friday, September 24, 1869, also known as the Fisk-Gould Scandal, was a financial panic in the United States caused by two speculators' efforts to corner the gold market. It was one of several scandals that rocked the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant.
During the American Civil War, the United States government issued a large amount of money that was backed by nothing but credit. After the war ended, people commonly believed that the U.S. Government would buy back the "greenbacks" with gold.
In 1869, a group of speculators, headed by Jay Gould and James Fisk, sought to profit off this by cornering the gold market. Gould and Fisk first recruited Grant's brother-in-law, a financier named Abel Corbin. They used Corbin to get close to Grant in social situations, where they would argue against government sale of gold, and Corbin would support their arguments.
Corbin convinced Grant to appoint General Daniel Butterfield as assistant treasurer of the United States. Butterfield agreed to tip the men off when the government intended to sell gold.
In the late summer of 1869, Gould began buying large amounts of gold. This caused prices to rise and stocks to plummet. After Grant realized what had happened, the federal government sold $4 million in gold.
On September 20, 1869, Gould and Fisk started hoarding gold, driving the price higher. On 24 September the premium on a gold Double Eagle (representing one ounce of gold bullion at $20) was 30 percent higher than when Grant took office. But when the government gold hit the market, the premium plummeted within minutes. Investors scrambled to sell their holdings, and many of them, including Corbin, were ruined.
Fisk and Gould escaped significant financial harm. Subsequent Congressional investigation into the scandal was limited because Virginia Corbin and First Lady Julia Grant were not permitted to testify. However, Butterfield resigned from the U.S. Treasury.
Henry Adams, who believed that President Grant had tolerated, encouraged, and perhaps even participated in corruption and swindles, attacked Grant in an 1870 article entitled,The New York Gold Conspiracy.
Fascinating.
you should check your facts about the doc and fabian confrontation. fabian thought he would jump the doc because he ran his boy off his property and would not let him hunt. doc let him know that he was not afraid of him or his family and he would do what ever it takes to defend himself and his family. way to go doc
Bull! Bull! Bull! Who knows what the truth is, and who gives a d^m! Soner or later they will take away his green card anyways.
YAAAAAWWWWWNNNNNNN Thanks for the history lesson.
Black Friday to me is when I get paid, pay the bills and I got enough money to go Ginos for dinner and Tudors for breakfast on Saturday!
All the "idiots" at home working dont have the blood on their hands that the politicians in Washington do. We can see what a farce and "crime" this war is and how many people are getting killed. There is more to life than money.
Doc has made threatening gestures with a gun at several kids in that neighborhood. Some of whom were on their own property. He has also killed Fabian's dog. He (Doc) does not play well with others. He needs to go back where he came from. We don't care who he is....
The cows that were grazing on the Filcon site belong to Jamie. Clayberry had a picture a couple weeks ago.
A police report was filed but Jamie has not been arrested. Ask Arthur Jarrett about the going to shoot Fabion part, he was there
Well there is one thing for certain in Clayberry. Do whatever you want to whomever you want because the court system will be the last to do anything about it. Tear down fences, destroy others property, prove that it was done and the judge will deny you monetary values of your destroyed property. Don't matter to them it don't belong to them and court orders don't mean a thing but a piece of paper with meaningless words written on them.
Hi, WVChic! Good to see you here. Hope you're having a good holiday season. :)
Thank you, Hippy. That last job definitely did keep my mind occupied. That can sometimes be a good thing in my case. LOL
As far as the new job...
Well...it IS a job...and it's really...ummm...well...*long pause*...conveniently located. Yes, that's what I was thinking-conveniently located. ;) LOL
Hey, wvchic!! Yes, I'm still kickin'. Still out West. Still Aiming High. And still amazed at some of the things I read on Rose's blog.
I love ya and give mom a big ol' kiss for me.
Talk about opportunities in Clay. Add a drive-thru hamburger joint to the internet cafe and dry cleaner and you would be a rich man. um-um
Roses are red,
voilets are blue,
some poems rhyme,
this one dont.
