WHAT IN THE WORLD???

Switzerland trade forum. President Obama's representative's made it very clear!They will inforce the trade agreements with the country's of the world(imports and exports). Sure they will??? My favorite of todays news,female activist women of the Ukrain.They went topless to protest at that summit to make a point(or two points). Sure,I understand that is a bit male of me,but in the cold weather men have the opposit problem. They are 100% correct-lack of trade keeps them poor and lack of export make the Ukrain government in need of funds.The Irish artist Frank Buckley-- make a $1.4 billion dollar house out of shreded bill$.That's cool!!! SYRIA!!! Can you say people of the world are very angry..There are 20-30 thousand soldier's that defected to help the people.Is there not one sniper among all of those who have guns aimed at BASHER ASS-AD HEAD? Russian government position...You got it,let men,women and children die.Does Putin and the government of Russia need all that money which they DO NOT help their own people with.Either you belive killing innocent people is ok ..or not? OH YES,I forgot this is Putin and his stazzie friends. BE ADVISED: the American people are on the anti-Assad side.I just wish the ARABS would have stayed to help. Insted they put there pipe line between there legs and ran like the cowards they are. NOW Germany. Leave Mirkle alone and do not bail anyone out. You see just how well that worked here in America! The rich got richer and the poor still have no jobs,no money and lost millions of homes. This brings me back to Wall Street who started this mess.The protester's in the STOP wall street movement have suffered from the hands of our police, who are supposed protect and serve. What they did and are still doing needs to be corrected and punished.HOW can they tazzer-tear gas-beat us with batton'sjust because we protest injustice?? For GOD"S sake this is America! Where we have first admendment rights. Be carefull, as we also have second admendment rights as well. Don't even get me going on Iran,it may as well be syria..This guy Im A Diner Jacket and his boss's.Some one should blow up there oil fields and give the protesters for freedom fire arms to protect themselves.That just might help see freedom grow and nukes go. Well people,now that's off my chest..It is sunny here in Alabama.wind 10-15 miles ph. Around 62 degs.My german sheppard is out side laying in the sun,rolling around in the dirt. I swear,if a burgler came in she would show them where the empty shoppings where. But my eskimo would tear them to peices while she happily watched. You know I started this blog originally to make some extra cash.I am a chef so I was going to do food and product placement where at your choice,would visit the advertisers perhaps buy something from them.while doing that is talked about world affairs. again, 1st admendment rights.they did not like that idea so they shut down the cash making part with the excuse advertisers did not like what I had to say.Since they to have 1st amendment rights there was nothing I could do but appel to those who ran it.I was denied.HOWEVER it is there loss as 900 plus are reading my blog. Funny how GODS hand lead me to a happier place. I can now voice what ever I wish as long as I keep it clean and my facts are correct.Which they are!! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO be well,blessed and happy.Howard

PRESIDENT OBAMA'S SPEECH

As we wake up to a new day,the sun is out and the temp is 68 going to 73 degs. Not to bad for Jan in the USA. President Obama spoke very well last night.In case you do not know this,98% of Americans are barely making do.However,the 2% in this country are millionairs of which 1% are multi-billionairs.they pay less taxe's then the rest of us.Warren Buffett is a multi billionair and

pays less taxes then his sectrary who works for him.President Obama pointed this out,as well as saying "he would pay his fare share" which is about 30% in taxes.This to me is a leader that cares about the 98% of us. This helps all Americans and pays down debt as well.He finally opened the gas and oil fields in the country.Something I have said for the past year. We have more oil then the entire world has.We have more natural gas then the combined country's as well. About 6 trillion in gas,about 4-6 trillion barrels of sweet crude oil.Did you know the oil Hugo Chaves controls allows that the people pay around 50cents a gallon in his country? So back to Obama.For the last 3 years he has been shut down by the Republicans in congress and the senate.Tonight he seemed stronger,at least in his words.I like the idea he wants everyone who works and pays taxes should be treated fair. An honest days pay for an honest days work.He want's to help the poor in this country with,food,medical warm clothing. rightly so, he wants them in traing programs to learn a trade or skill. He is willing to have the government help pay for that!He wants the better teachers to help the weak one's so the children in turn become better educated.The country is getting stronger as it should.In the last 22 months 3 million jobs created and filled.The other thing i like is,he is giving companys' who do not out sorce work and stay here tax, breaks and those who leave no breaks at all.He set in motion a federal task force to,monitor bank,mortgage lender's and credit card company's from sucking the life out of people.He want's to work with Russia and some of the larger country's to aid in the world. THIS PRESIDENT SHOULD HAVE 4 MORE YEARS TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR AMERICA AND THE WORLD. That's it for today. be well,blessed and happy.Call your mom,pop or brother and sister to tell them you care.bye...Howard...P.S..thanks to all our milatary and veterans who protect America past and presant.

Has your mind ever gone blank?

Jan,21st 2012.At least I got the date right LOL.It is a quiet day here in Alabama.Overcast with a slight breeze.Would you belive 73 degs? The other night I watched the debates of the republican party. What a joke it was,infighting the same way they can not pass a bill to help Americans with jobs-education-health and a whole lot more.However,Ron Paul makes sence when he speaks.He should be the republician candidate. I am still voting for Obama because 4 years is not enough to get things done.Back to the day.Mostly reflections of the country's on planet earth.To bad I can not hit the 100 million dollar lottery.Africa needs bug nets,aid meds-water wells and food.Other country's like Hati need the same things. AND suprise there are parts of America that need help with food,fuel,clothing to keep warm.So,after the government gets taxe's out of above it would leave me with 50 nillion. I would be able to do a lot in many place's, including here in my country. Sure I would buy a house and several other thing's for me and my family.Plenty left over though!! We all wish for something ,so that's mine. Will write another day.Feeling blahzzzaaa today. Be well,blessed and happy,howard

Some thought's for today.

Iranian's are proud and they should be.Farhadi hit a home run with his film.A golden globe award is not to shaby.As you can see America does it's best to treat all people equal.we have a few problems but not many as far as race goes.Our friend Isreal rallied against Ethiopian citzians.WHO by the way are one of the oldest sect's of jew's on the planet.WHY?? Could be because they are black?They wear white turbans instead of yuamaka's? OR traditions are slightly different.I want you to know I am messianic(a jew for jesus). What isreal is doing is 100% wrong. Where have I heard"a jew is a jew"? We are everywhere,including China and North Korea,Turkey,Spain just any where you look.We come in all color's,shapes and size's. You would think after 6 million plus of use where murdered, we would stand together...Again I say it is not the people but the government which makes trouble.... OK, the European union is helping in Africa here is what I would do!!Yes, bring food for the starving women and children as well as the men,medicine to. BUT spend some money on farm equipment,seed,agriculture-farm land-wells for water- teacher's and teach them to qrow food.Teach them to care for an assortment of animals and animal husbandry.YOU know...feed a person for a day or teach them for a lifetime.... TODAY in America what is going on? Let's see,Republicans making fools of their party.Democrates not much better.President Obama doing his best for the poor and middle class, however getting blocked by everyone. I would not want his job!! Rupert Murdoc(news billionair) shooting his mouth off,as if he has not stolen,fired,and caused deaths to happen.Warren Buffet,the old geezer makes a lot of sence and should be listened to.Bill Gates and his wife doing good works for the world. That's all for today folk's of the world we live in. be well,be blessed,be happy,hug your child as that is Gods gift to you and our future. Howard P.s be glad you are not the second dog on a dog sled LOL.

Wow,the sun is out but raining

Yes folks,this morning in Alabama that is going on right now. It's 72degs here with a 5 mile wind blowing.January with shorts and tee shirt weather.My German shepard love's to be out side,but one drop of rain you can hear her scratch at the door to come in.Am I crazy or do dogs have esp? She knows when I am in a lot of pain or asthma attact is near as well as my sugar is to high or for that matter to low. sparky is now 7 years old,but act's younger.She is a little chubby as I am,because we do feed her scraps with her dog food.That is a good segway in to:dinner for tonight!Not sure what I am going to make. Lox- bagles-cream cheese or perhaps german braunschwager-how about pizza? I know-- I will make chicken parm stuffed with ham covered with mozzerella cheese. Better stop or I will be having it for breakfeast.So, I filled up my truck with gas. $70.00 dollars,way to much for gasoline.Here is where I get to criticize my county.In America we have lot's of sweet crude oil in the earth. AS a matter of fact between,Alaska, Colorado,south and north dakota,as well as a few more states. there is 2-3 trillion barrels.Plus 6 or so trillon in natural gas. The problem is getting both the congress and the senate plus our president off there butts and start getting it.We also need new plants (5) to refine it. That would bring gas down to about $1.00 a gallon.BUT no the few tree hugger's are holding the rest of America hostage.Sure I could trade the truck in on a smart car,but then I need to lose 60lbs.Sure I am still living in the 70's but I like big comfortable cars and trucks. Time to go.Heading down to Florida for lottery ticket's.Odds of hitting it 122 million to 1.But you never know. be well,blessed and happy, Howard

Kenya-welcome to our blogs

Jodie and i have 2 blogs for now.This one and http://fromjodiesstuff.blogspot.com So put that one in your favorites...NOW KENYA..Thanks for reading our blog. the deepest valley north of Nairobi,and the eastern rit area. While a hot spot in the world it is trying to pull itself out of the fighting all around it.This is where finding bread and milk is very difficult. The world largest refugee camp is located as well.There are talks going on which may help the region. I pray it goes well as africa is a land to behold.the first man and women-the garden of Eden and civilation itself took place.There are many area's you can travel to(look them up) without strife you can visit.By going there you will help their economy, so do it!!.......Here in the USA we have the best of life,even the people poor or on welfare have it better then third world country". WHICH we will become if our education of our kids is not raised higher.Our past president Clinton tried as is president Obama. The republican party in this country does not let him improve the quality of life for we citizen's and our children. As for ex-president Bush, the worst leader since...ever. Two war's trillions of tax payer dollars..almost 6.000 soldiers dead..35-36 thousand wounded. Truly 2 war's not needed or wanted.What we really need to do is:Pull all troopes out of every country,bring them home to rest.Then if a country like South Korea or the opec nation's or country's want boot's on the ground CHARGE THEM $$$$$$$$$ LET THEM PAY OUR TROOPS,LET THEM PAY FOR FUEL AND AMMO,AIRSTRIP'S FOOD TO FEED THE TROOPS. AS WELL AS LIFE INSURANCE.That would reduce debt to China. It would allow us to help other country's who are not looking to kill Americans.As an American and a veteran who is disabled ,the opinon's above are the same as the 300 millon plus of us.However the way of the world is not so simple.Why you ask? Because governments (ALL) do not care about it's people.The only exception to this is a teeny tiny country of Qatar.Well before I get stupid angry.adios,good bye, shalome,salam.baai,Ao-cbnahnr(backwards r),au-wiedersehrn,tot-ziens. that's it for today...PLEASE READ OUR OTHER BLOG AND READ ALL THE ONES BEFORE THIS ONE.

What about the Netherlands

Besides the great smoking cafe's and the red light district(I was single then)there is lots to do, as the Dutch are super nice people.Look how they treat their disabled!!I am now disabled, but then not....front row seat at sporting events,ramps everywhere you wish to visit,special lanes for walking,driving etc.ART,there's art, museums,more than you can shake a stick at,history-art-wars-life in general from the beggining of time.While you are walking around, try the street vendors.pastery-choclate everything with or with out liquers in them. one I really like is fried dough..it has fruits-raisens and more stuffed in them.The best time for that is late November. But any time for cakes and pastery.Do you collect antiques? shops every where.Those are the things I remember most. I belive that is where I wanted to become, and I am, a chef. Among other thing done in my life.That's it for now.Be well,blessed and happy.Howard

Jan 12th 2012

How about Iran's supreme leader with the big mouth? so the C-I-A was to blame for a magnetic bomb-or maybe the mossad? How about your own people who hate you and your boss's especially the Ayatollah's who murder your own people.At least they hit the target. I am not for killing anyone,but would not shed a tear for a president who takes the office by lying.If you are indeed building a nuclear bomb you can bet someone is going to do something about it.You bring all this down on your head. What about the citizens of Iran? They want peace in the world. I said many times,the government's including mine do not represent the people. This is a country we are talking about as people get a long just fine without unneeded confrontation....NOW about the marines taking a wizz on taliban bodies!! No it was not a very nice thing to do. So how about killing our boots on the ground,hanging on a bridge,cutting their heads off and setting them on fire.That's ok to you? You get what you give and you do not like it.From an american veteran who is disabled i say tough purple nurpile to you!!....There is so much news around the world it is a shame mostly 90% of it is bad. Is there no way for the earth to calm down-take a step back and really look at itself.Again it is not the people of the USA-Russia-asia-middle east that are the problem,but the governments of each. How is it that all the little people can see this. Is everyone at the top just plain stupid,seeking to much power-just do not care anymore? Ah forget it- i am going to watch tv,anything but the news tonight.. TO we the people of the world, GOD loves you. To the rest of you-look hard in the mirror,is this what you want? Be well,blessed and happy,hug your pet as that is true love.

Jan,10th 2012

Raining this morning in Alabama.How can one be sad when it is 69degs with a slight breeze.The Gulf of Mexico just 20 or so miles away with sandy white beaches.You would think all is right with the world. BUT, SYRIAN GOVERNMENT still killing it's own people including children--opec is sticking it to the world with the high oil price's--Iran wants to put a marine to death(good way to start a war you can not win. Even if you kiss Chaves on the butt for help.)You have 6 republicians running ads which are mostly untrue about Obama.All the while president Obama is trying his best at running this America.I guess we will have to wait and see what happens.......ENOUGH OF THIS DOOM AND GLOOM. NOW ME!! The restuant was doing fine and as I said my new friend came in each day for a turkey sandwich and a drink. We spoke of many things and of God as well.My opinion never changes,what ever god you have it is the same one as mine. I CAUGHT MY PARTNER STEALING FROM THE BUSINESS AND PULLED OUT AS MUCH MONEY AS I COULD.(WAS NOT MUCH). My friend asked what I was going to do? My reply was, going back to the south.Where upon he said "how about running my Christian tv station for me"? What the heck,I was going south any way,why not Alabama!!wrapped up all I needed to and came south in 1995.I ran that station (no pay)for about a year. his partner's really gave him the shaft and the staton shut down. The happy part of this I stayed on the acre and 3/4 in a mobile home which I am almost thru paying for(three more years) to go. the I made an offer on the land. Yes it was excepted. SOOOOOOOOOOO HERE I AM IN ALABAMA,CONTENT,HAPPY FOR THE MOST PART. THIS ENDS THE STORY FOR NOW. HOWEVER PLENTY MORE TO WRITE ABOUT. BE WELL-BLESSED AND HAPPY.

Still in the 80's

The eighties were very good to me in one way.the girlI married was pretty smart. You could even say she could walk and chew gum at the same time. I tought her how to run several enterprise's at one time and turned her loose on the world.DO YOU Remember I said my mom passed away. the stress was a lot.(What doesn't kill you makes you stronger)So we sold the antique business and opened the first Disney in the country. It went so well we bought a motor home.. ..you may say why, on that one? As we had mucho hours that was all work. with the over flow of merchantdise we started a flea market business in which we used the motor home.All this was accomplished with her running every venture as i was and still am today disabled. Sure I can teach her and those who help the how to but couldn't myself do much!! Sometimes you ride the bull and some times the bull rides you.(NO NOT THAT WAY :)) I started to get sick with all the pain,we closed the store and sold the stuff at flea markets.we did well up to 1991 when we got divorced.She went her way I the other.Yes she got the house and the Corvette we sold and split the cash.She also got the truck. No, I am not crying in my beer.I got the Rolls Royce. However I was almost broke so the Rolls went up for sale.Then I met someone who wanted to open a restuarant and a deli. what the heck!! I was game for it(yes I invested in a 50% deal.Since I was a chef as well as the other things I did gave me something to do.There met a christan fellow and we became friends.He would come in every day before going to work.TO BE CONTINUED IN A DAY OR TWO, THIS WILL TELL THE STORY OF HOW I CAME BACK SOUTH. BE WELL,BLESSED AND HAPPY--MAKE SOME ONE SMILE TODAY.

from 1980 to1992

How did I live up to now? God's good grace.In the early 80's I work for an American company in upstate New York.something like a small supermarket-convience store set up.running it was a piece of cake( or pie ).When i took it over from the manager before me, the store was making $2,000 a week. manager's pay was based on $300 a week and commission after the 2 grand.It took me 2 full years but I took that store to $20k and the owners did not like the idea I was being paid over $700 a week. Remember this was in the early 80's when the average weekly pay check was 150-200 dollars a week.Remember I made a lot of moooolaaa(money) even before I worked there.My car was a huge Lincoln town car. So they sent 10 thousand dollars worth of cigarettes to a store near mine then said 10grand was missing.Of course I told them it can not be, and I had all the paper work to prove it.So,this is what I did. The regional manager came in,when he said I took it, my face got red hot.I walked up to him,put my face in his and said"call the police and arrest me" or better yet let it go now!! just so happened my girl friend at the time work there as well. He was speachless after I got through with him. At that point, I was through with him and a company called Cumberland Farms. took my key's tossed the on the floor used words I do not like and walked out.I knew owners like this asI am messianic and lived in that culture like this.One of the reason's I choose to become a minister(not practing). YES, there are many more things i have done to educate myself. You will read as the years progress. Later that day my girl friend came home and said they found the era!! Did they say they where sorry? NOPE they hired a kid for 200 bucks with the same deal I was offered..Good luck on improving on what i did. So ,with plenty of cash I had time on my hands,what to do?In my studio appartment watching tv,I looked around at the stuff we Americans buy.beautiful cabinets filled with antique's(yes another hobby)my girl friend and i opened antique store on a busy high way.was making it ok until i got a telephone call.My mom had cancer.With me there was only one thing to do. I rented a two bedroom apy near the hospital and moved her up to live with me.Asking my my girl if she wanted to stay or leave,she choose to stay. The nexted year was heart breaking but we never let on.After burying my mom I ask my girl friend if she wanted to get married.SO here comes #4 ouy vey!!Dumkoff,shumck.better them kgb or irgoon. :) Really not bad at all excet for the 9th year when all heck broke loose. YES i will fill you in from the mid 80's to 1992 next time. all of you be blessed.wel and happy.howard

New and old mix--so1978-79

Lets see,where did i leave off? Yup! mustang over cliff,no insurance,and one of my favorite place's Amsterdam..There I was in 1978 when my back gave out again.What to do? Me, I kept on working, which made it so much worse, that Thanksgiving(USA THING)I had to have another operation.This time not so good.Got staph infection in the operating room or maybe the doctors runny nose. Nobody could figure that out. if you have ever had staph,it goes everywhere in your body. Under arms, legs, and the most painfull groin, that whole area.It spread like a wild fire.my body started to shut down and i was on the way out.Then a friend of mine who was a doctor stopped in to say hi.2 minutes later all heck broke loose.He called the two orthopedic dotors in and fired them on the spot.(I was out of it anyway)then he stopped all medicaton for a day,exept pain meds. Took what seemed like 50 viles of blood and sent the to a friend who was head of infection's at the cdc. As a favor,got my results.4 days later I was out of my semi-coma and eating again. Then started to walk all over as i need to be taught once more.The biggest problem was long and short term memory loss. trust me on this,that was a terrible thing to have happen.so 6 months later i was released from the hospital. Had to re-learn everything including who some people where.They would see me at the supermarket and say hi. I looked at them with a blank expression. OH, did i mention the stress was to much for my third wife? Again there went cash,a house,a car? The wife ,no problem but the b---h took my english springer spanial.Now that hurt.It took nearly one year until I was mostley recoverd.Still had to teach myself over again all I had experianced and learned.Believe it or not I excelled and surpassed myself thanks to a gadjet, which just came out, an apple 2e computer.one of the first to be marketed. the cost, $3,300.00 dollars in 1981-82. Here we go again,back pain right now. going to lay down until it later. YES I WILL CONTINUE THIS IN A DAY OR TWO. BE WELL,BLESSED AND HAPPY.HOWARD

Guess i will continue

Another day, and still hoping to hit the lottery like everyone else.So I left off in 1965, after leaving the US Navy.After adjusting to life after the service, I found a job selling women's shoes.Boy oh boy was this the job for me.Why you may ask?? Well just out of the Navy and cocky as heck.Great tan-that mediterian skin of mine made the sun tan shine. Did not hurt I was 5'9" and 139lbs with a 32 belt size. Not like now,220lbs and a 44 belt size (: but still cocky-still tan, great with silver hair. Anyway, I was happy in every department, wink,wink.stayed with shoes for a long time but moved to all shoes-men-women-and children. Ifocused on orthopedics for the little rugg rats and study away i did. Working with doctors and hospitals,i was able to help thousands of kids from getting deformed feet,legs,knees.....Around 1969-72 I studied law and real estate law while working.eased in to selling house's then commercial property. Made a lot of cash doing that.eventually got board there as well.By 1972 I had been married twice and lost all my money on divorces. No boo hoo for me. Got back on my feet and stomped my way back up the ladder.Then once again,in 1974 my mustang went over a small cliff and wrenched my back in several places. The first operation on l-4 s-1 went ok. The kicker-no insurance. this is where you wished you lived in Amsterdam(which i did visit) plenty of the right type of smoke and free health insurance, (as most country's,) EXCEPT THE USA. Here that President Obama.So this brings us to 1978-9 when wouldn't you know back problems again. Hey everyone getting tired so once again!! TO BE CONTINUED. BE WELL,BLESSED AND HAPPY.HUG YOUR MOM-WIFE OR GIRL FRIEND OR ALL THREE. JUST KIDDING. HOWARD OUT FOR NOW.

2012 has started

Hi folk's! It is Jan.3rd,2012.How time flys. Just yesturday it was 1960 and I was in the US.Navy.Went to the Med by ship. Stoped and enjoyed urkey,Naples,Greece,Malta(where I got pick pocket out of smokes and a lighter),France where I lay on the beach in Cannes, and got a burn :) but worth it.As well as many more country's while in.Then in 1962 was in Italy where there where protests againest J.F.K. then the Cuban blockade. One kid was so afraid of war, he hung himself.that was awful.Then Kennedy got shot. By then I had enough. Finished up service in 1965 and went home.By then I had lived what seemed a life time. Went in a child came out a man!Since then I have done quite a lot,but that's another day.IT IS MY HOPE AND PRAYER that all the world's people come together in peace. Be well,be blessed and be happy. .....TO BE CONTINUED. please check out our other blob at...........http://fromjodiesstuff.blogstop.com
