LIberals Turn To Obama For Help.

Hmm,,,,take a look at this article.

Federal Liberals turn to U.S. Democrats for advice.

Seems to me from the beginning of time the Liberals have been against the US and their Strategies. Mostly the Republican’s I suspect as Democrats  & Liberals have the same mentality.  My thoughts on the subject is that, as of now Obama sure isn’t on top of the list of favorite people in the USA or Canada for that matter.  With all the shenanigans he has put forth in the last few years I would suspect his reign of rule will be short lived. At any rate, one gets what they deserve in life so…….. carry on Liberals.   My opinion only as usual.

Still quiet.  Tip for today. If the sun isn’t shinning one still needs Vitamin D, even more so, so……a drop or two would make the old body happy on days like this.  You are the ones in control of you body, not the doctors and who should know better than you of what you need to stay or get healthy?  Enjoy your day my friends.

Still  quiet out there.  For most parts a lot of folks are having a hard time starting their old cars. Myself I plug mine in every night, as with the temperatures we get in this country it is sure hard on a car or truck starting them up cold.  One might think it costs a bit for hydro but end results folks, it is easier on the pocket book plugging them in.  Myself these days I am into doing some shop work.  Got the old wood stove perkin’ away yesterday and today will get to making my flutes and things for our small store for spring.  I enjoy working away out there, gives me a purpose in life one might say.  That’s just one of many I enjoy though.  Well tea time here, one of my most favorite times enjoying a tea and chatting to my lovely wife.  So you have a great day and dress warm if your going outside.  Don’t need anyone catching a cold.

Still quiet around town, see  a few folks heading off to their favorite church this morning being Sunday.  For my wife and I we take each day as it comes to us and treat it no different than any other.  With nature all around us what more could a fellow or gal ask for.  New years resolutions are being made today in hopes to better ones self, but there again my wife and I let things lie where they want.  Old saying is that you can make plans for the future, just don’t plan the results.  I like that one and has worked for us for many a years.  I also like another one, not a saying really, but words of wisdom my old Dad told me many years ago. “George,  If your unsure of what to do in life pertaining to a certain item, do the research, then ask as many folks as you can of how they think on the subject, then if say, 80 % like it one way, you then take the other.  Reason being that 80% of the world is wrong in their thinking.”  You know for four generations our family has used them words or most of us and the ones that has looking at them today, are pretty well off.  Maybe not with a lot of money, but well off enough with their meaning of life, food on the table, a warm home and values that are in abundance.    Have a great day my friends and “Happy New Years to ya.”

Still quiet around town, not many cars or trucks even going up and down the highway. But that is to be expected this time of year.  The only real active place in town would be the Legion as it has different events happening every week.  Lucky to have them, as it gets folks out of the house.  I have found the worse thing one can do is sit around.  The old body I have found needs lots of exercise , the more the better.  If one just sits around, I can guarantee problems will arise.  So get outside, go for walks and put yourself on a rigorous exercise program and do it faithfully every day.  Doesn’t matter how old you are neither, so no excuses.  Also make sure you get your sunshine, and through out the winter months take a drop or two of Vitamin D each day, best medicine you could ever take, bar none. Have a great day my friends.

Flu Shots Your Choice Make The Right One.

Every year, Powers that be and its pawns  get a little bit more aggressive in their push for full compliance with the flu vaccine agenda. And this year, they are targeting faith-based groups and the leaders of such groups, which include pastors, priests, rabbis, and imams — to promote flu vaccines to their members during religious services, and even to partner with local drug stores to hold flu vaccine clinics.

It is simply amazing that so many folks are still willing to go out and subject their body to a vaccine that is far from being proven to doing what they suggest it is dong.  I wouldn’t hesitate  to say that there is more behind these folks wanting you to get the shot than just concerns about your health.  I believe that the folks that have taken the flu shots over the past few years will in turn pay dearly.  The body can handle the modern day flu and colds all on its own. It always has and always will.   The more we keep putting these drugs into our system the weaker our body becomes and in turn we all become more sicker.  My opinion only.

Nothing Much to speak of is happening. Most folks are out shopping taking in the sights of what lies ahead, buying up all the sales that happen to be on their lists.  I am thinking even though our economy isn’t the greatest at the moment folks are still spending on gifts this year.  Stores are full of folks buying which is a good sign.  Thing one has to remember, is that for most parts our media of today is something that sways folks minds.  For myself I know my limits, what to spend, what not to and never take what they are saying  to heart.  If more folks did that our economy would be right up there with the best of others.  My Opinion Only. Have a great day and if that sun happens to show itself, get out there, roll up your sleeves and get a bit on your skin.  Much needed this time of year.  Have a great day my friends.
