>Tip
Here's a great tip to get rid of pesky grass and weeds that
grow along your fence line or between patio bricks in a healthy
and environmentally safe way.
Spray full-strength basic household white vinegar on very young
weeds and grass.
For more mature weeds and grass, use an organic product like BurnOut,
which contains a highly concentrated form of vinegar, clove, and
citrus oils

>A Dieter's Prayer
LORD,
My soul is ripped with riot
Incited by my wicked diet.
"We are what we eat," said a wise old man.
Lord, if that's true, I'm a garbage can.
I want to rise on Judgment Day, that's plain,
But, at my present weight I'll need a crane.
So, grant me strength that I may not fall
Into the clutches of cholesterol.
May my flesh with carrot curls be sated,
That my soul may be polyunsaturated.
And show me the light that I may bear witness
To the President's Council on Physical Fitness.
And oleo margarine I'll never mutter
For the road to hell is spread with butter.
And cream is cursed, and cake is awful,
And Satan is hiding in every waffle.
Mephistopheles lurks in provolone,
The devil is in each slice of bologna.
Beelzebub is a chocolate drop
And Lucifer is a lollipop.
Give me this day, my daily slice
But, cut it thin and toast it twice.
I beg upon my dimpled knees
Deliver me from Ju-jubees.
And when my days of trial are done
And my war with malted milks is won,
Let me stand with the saints in Heaven
In a shining robe, size seven!
I can do it, Lord, if you'll show to me
The virtues of lettuce and celery.
If you'll teach me the evil of mayonnaise
The sinfulness of hollandaise,
And pasta Milanese
And potatoes a la Lyonnaise,
And crisp fried chicken from the south.
Lord, if you love me,
SHUT MY MOUTH!

>Are you a member?
They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers,
and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting
ready to retire. Others have been retired for some time. We walk a
little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they
once were. We have worked hard, raised our children, worshiped our God
and grown old together. Yes, we are the ones some refer to as being
over the hill, and that is probably true. But before writing us off
completely, there are a few things that need to be taken into
consideration.
In school we studied English, history, math, and science which
enabled us to lead America into the technological age. Most of us
remember what outhouses were, many of us with firsthand experience. We
remember the days of telephone party-lines, 25 cent gasoline, and milk
and ice being delivered to our homes. For those of you who don't know
what an icebox is, today they are electric and referred to as
refrigerators. A few even remember when cars were started with a
crank. Yes, we lived those days.
We are probably considered old fashioned and out-dated by many.
But there are a few things you need to remember before completely
writing us off. We won World War II, fought in Korea and Viet Nam.
We can quote The Pledge of Allegiance, and know where to place our hand
while doing so. We wore the uniform of our country with pride and lost
many friends on the battlefield. We didn't fight for the Socialist
States of America ; we fought for the "Land of the Free and the Home of
the Brave." We wore different uniforms but carried the same flag. We
know the words to the Star Spangled Banner, America, and America
the Beautiful by heart, and you may even see some tears running down
our cheeks as we sing. We have lived what many of you have only read
in history books and we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone for
America.
Yes, we are old and slow these days but rest assured, we have at
least one good fight left in us. We have loved this country, fought for
it, and died for it, and now we are going to save it. It is our
country and nobody is going to take it away from us. We took oaths to
defend America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that is
an oath we plan to keep. There are those who want to destroy this land
we love but, like our founders, there is no way we are going to remain
silent.
It was mostly the young people of this nation who elected Obama and
the Democratic Congress. You fell for the "Hope and Change" which in
reality was nothing but "Hype and Lies."
You have tasted socialism and seen evil face to face, and have
found you don't like it after all. You make a lot of noise, but most
are all too interested in their careers or "Climbing the Social Ladder"
to be involved in such mundane things as patriotism and voting. Many
of those who fell for the "Great Lie" in 2008 are now having buyer's
remorse. With all the education we gave you, you didn't have sense
enough to see through the lies and instead drank the 'Kool-Aid.' Now
you're paying the price and complaining about it. No jobs, lost
mortgages, higher taxes, and less freedom.
This is what you voted for and this is what you got. We entrusted
you with the Torch of Liberty and you traded it for a paycheck and a
fancy house.
Well, don't worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here, and
in 2012 we are going to take back our nation. We may drive a little
slower than you would like but we get where we're going, and in 2012
we're going to the polls by the millions.
This land does not belong to the man in the White House nor to the
likes of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. It belongs to "We the People"
and "We the People" plan to reclaim our land and our freedom. We hope
this time you will do a better job of preserving it and passing it
along to our grandchildren. So the next time you have the chance to
say the Pledge of Allegiance, Stand up, put your hand over your heart,
honor our country, and thank God for the old geezers of the "Grey-
Haired Brigade."
Get off your rear and go to work!
No more something for nothing!
No more gimmie programs!
Footnote: This is spot on. I am another Gray-Haired Geezer signing
on. I will circulate this to other Gray-Haired Geezers all over this
once great county. Can you feel the ground shaking???
It's not an earthquake,
it is a STAMPEDE !

Just where does the weapons manufacturer Glock get off
producing firearms that discharge? The atrocious record
of these guns firing is long and storied.
One of the best examples was caught on video. You may have
seen this clip in Bizarre News before. This poor, hapless
officer is shot by the deadly Glock while teaching a gun
safety seminar. If you haven't seen the video you can click
the link below.
Gun Safety - The Glock 40
Yet another disturbing example came to light recently when
another police officer who was shot by a Glock brought a
lawsuit against the manufacturer.
In 2006 Los Angeles police officer Enrique Chavez was shot
in the back by his own weapon. The off-duty officer had
forgotten that he had stowed his loaded .45-caliber Glock,
upholstered and with a round apparently chambered, securely
under the front seat of his Ford Ranger, I am assuming
according to department regulations concerning the proper
transport and storage of firearms.
With the weapon safely out of sight and out of mind, although
unfortunately not out of reach, Chavez loaded his 3-year-old
son into the vehicle. Since the streets of Los Angeles are so
safe to drive Chavez did not secure the toddler in a child
safely seat.
The inquisitive fingers of the boy soon found the weapon
while he was crawling around the vehicle, and that is when
the treacherous Glock fired, hitting the officer in the
back.
Chavez is now suing the company claiming the Glock 21 had a
light trigger and lacked a grip safety.
Perhaps, if this suit is successful, we can finally live in
a world where you can hand a toddler a loaded handgun and
feel confident you won't get shot in the back.
*-- Hotel replaced Bibles with 'Fifty Shades' --*
CROSTHWAITE, England - The owner of a hotel in Britain
said he replaced the room Bibles with copies of "Fifty
Shades of Grey" to reflect the modern secular society.
Jonathan Denby, owner of the Damson Dene Hotel in
Crosthwaite, England, said he decided to replace the
Bibles with copies of E.L. James' erotic novel because
he decided the Bibles were "wholly inappropriate" for
bedrooms in a secular society, NBC News reported Wednesday.
"I was thinking originally of putting in a book by Ayn
Rand -- 'Atlas Shrugged' was my first thought," Denby
said. "(But) because everybody is reading 'Fifty Shades
of Grey,' we thought it would be a hospitable thing to do,
to have this available for our guests, especially if some
of them were a little bit shy about buying it because of
its reputation." The Rev. Michael Woodcock, who oversees
services at St. Mary's Parish Church, told The Westmoreland
Gazette he was dismayed by the hotelier's decision. "It is
a great shame that Bibles have been removed from rooms and
very inappropriate to have been replaced by an explicit
erotic novel," he said. "The Bible remains a source of
comfort and inspiration that many people do find helpful."
*-- On-the-job cussing may hurt career --*
CHICAGO - Cussing at work may feel good in the moment but
could be a career-sinking habit over the long haul, a
survey by a U.S. online employment search firm indicates.
CareerBuilder.com in Chicago said in a release Wednesday
that 64 percent of employers said they'd think less of an
employee who habitually swears, and 57 percent said they'd
be less likely to promote someone who curses in the office.
How common is swearing in the office? The survey said 51
percent of workers report they've done it -- more likely
in front of co-workers than the boss, however. Men (54
percent) are a bit more likely to cuss at work than women
(47 percent), the survey found. Employers aren't immune
to workplace swearing, with 25 percent admitting they've
cussed out employees. Workplace swearing is most common
in Washington (62 percent) and Denver (60 percent), follow-
ed by Chicago (58 percent), Los Angeles and Boston (56
percent), Atlanta (54 percent), Minneapolis (50 percent),
Phoenix (47 percent) and Philadelphia (44 percent). The
nationwide survey of more than 2,000 hiring managers and
3,800 workers was conducted May 4-June 4. The margin of
error was plus or minus 1.5 to 2 percent.
*-- Man leaves party, gets chased by bear --*
FLYKALEN, Sweden - Police in Sweden said a man who wandered
away from a party became lost in the woods and came face
to face with a bear. Officers said Robin Engstrom, 20, was
attending a party Saturday in Flykalen and decided to take
a walk in the woods with some beer and cigarettes, The
Local.se reported Monday. Engstrom became lost in the woods
about four miles from the village and soon found himself
chased by a brown bear, police said. The man climbed a
hunting tower and pounded on the roof to scare the animal
away. Police said Engstrom was rescued after spending about
three hours atop the tower. Engstrom said he tried to stay
calm during his ordeal. "I drank up the last of the beer
and then I sat and smoked. One shouldn't get unnecessarily
stressed," Engstrom said.
*-- 'Goat man' was hunter in disguise --*
SALT LAKE CITY - A Utah wildlife official said the myster-
ious "goat man" photographed crawling near some goats was
a California hunter testing out a goat stalking disguise.
Phil Douglass, conservation outreach manager for the
Division of Wildlife Resources, said he was contacted
recently by a 57-year-old California man who revealed he
had donned a goat suit July 15 and appeared in Coty
Creighton's photograph near Ben Lomond Peak just north
of Ogden, the Ogden Standard-Examiner reported Tuesday.
Douglass said the man, who did not give his name, gave
information substantiating his claims and said he was test-
ing out the goat suit for an upcoming hunting trip. "He
gave me details that convinced me it was him," Douglass
said. "I'm satisfied that this was a person preparing for
a hunt and did it with knowledge and experience." Creighton
said he had enjoyed the mystery about the goat man's
identity. "I thought I wanted answers, but I was naive. I
should have left well enough alone. Now I just want the
mystery back," he said.

>-->The Chevy Nova Awards:
These are the nominees for the Chevy Nova Award. This is given
in honor of the GM's fiasco in trying to market this car in
Central and South America. "No va" means, in Spanish, "No go."
1. The Dairy Association's huge success with the campaign
"Got Milk?" prompted them to expand advertising to Mexico. It
was soon brought to their attention the Spanish translation
read "Are you lactating?"
2. Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called Cue, the
name of a notorious adult magazine.
3. An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the
Spanish market which promoted the Pope's visit. Instead of "I
saw the Pope" (el Papa), the shirts read "I Saw the Potato"
(la papa).
4. Pepsi's "Come Alive With the Pepsi Generation" translated
into "Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back From the Grave" in
Chinese.
5. The Coca-Cola name in China was first read as "Kekoukela",
meaning "Bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with
wax", depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000
characters to find a phonetic equivalent "kokou kole",
translating into "happiness in the mouth."
6. Frank Perdue's chicken slogan, "It takes a strong man to
make a tender chicken" was translated into Spanish as "it takes
an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate."
7. When American Airlines wanted to advertise its new leather
first class seats in the Mexican market, it translated its "Fly
In Leather" campaign literally, which meant "Fly Naked" (vuela
en cuero) in Spanish!

(The most popular joke in Germany)
A general noticed one of his soldiers behaving oddly. The
soldier would pick up any piece of paper he found, frown
and say, "That's not it" and put it down again.
This went on for some time, until the general arranged to
have the soldier psychologically tested. The psychologist
concluded that the soldier was deranged, and wrote out his
discharge from the army.
The soldier picked it up, smiled and said, "That's it."

As I serviced an alarm system at a jewelry store recently,
the saleswoman let me know that the store was having a 20
percent off sale.
"I bet your girlfriend would love it if you bought her
something." she suggested.
"I don't have a girlfriend," I answered.
"No girlfriend? Why not?"
"My wife won't let me."

"Hello Mrs. Miller," said the bearded guy behind the counter
at the bagel shop.
My husband and I looked at him but drew complete blanks.
"I'm sorry, do we know each other?" I asked.
"Yeah, you was my English teacher."
Leaning over, my husband whispered, "Good job, Honey, good
job."

Everyone knows I'm a stickler for good spelling. So, when
an associate e-mailed technical documents asking me to
"decifer" them, I had to set him straight.
I wrote, "Decipher is spelled with a ph, not an f. In case
you've forgotten, spell checker comes free with your software."
A minute later, I got this reply, "Mine must be dephective."

Although I knew our commanding officer hated doling out week-
end passes, I thought I had a good reason.
"My wife is pregnant and I want to be with her," I told the
C.O. Much to my surprise he said, "Permission granted."
Inspired by my success, a fellow soldier also requested a
weekend pass. His wife wasn't pregnant, so when the C.O.
asked why he should grant him permission, my friend responded,
"My wife is getting pregnant this weekend and I want to be
with her."

>In the Cemetery
A minister with a large family of seven children moved to a new city.
He and his wife didn't want to buy a home immediately. They wanted
to rent a townhouse until they could get a feel for the area and
choose a home where their kids would be in good schools and they
could be conveniently located.
They found plenty of rental townhouses that were large enough, but
the landlords always objected to having a family of nine occupy the
place.
In frustration, one day the father asked the mother to take the four
youngest children and go visit the local cemetery. She was puzzled
by his request, but went along. He and the other three children
headed off to investigate another townhouse they had found.
The place was perfect and the father told the landlord he would take
it. Then came the usual question, "I see you have children. How many
are there in the family?"
The minister gave out with a deep sigh, then said, "Seven ... but
four are with their dear mother in the cemetery."
He got the townhouse.

worldliness by the world."

>The Ceiling Fan
Sitting in grandpa's bedroom, thinking quietly how different things
would be now, the softly turning blades of the ceiling fan caught my
atttention and gently nudged my memory to a time watching as grandpa
lifted my son up to the fan, holding his hand lightly and helping him
pull the chain to turn the light on and off. It seemed to be an
enlightening adventure for a small child.
Mother had told me he did it with them and all of his grandchildren. The
words, "turn it on and let your little light shine" always accompanied
pulling the chain. Over the years grandpa had told us many times about
loving people and the love of God. Many memories of grandpa's love
rolled through my mind.
A smile came across my face as I rose to pull the chain and turn the
light out. Something told me the light grandpa turned on in our lives
would never go out.

A friend is someone who thinks you're a good egg
even when they know you're a bit cracked.
A gentleman farmer is one who has more hay in the bank than in the barn.
A good time to keep you mouth shut is when you're in deep water.
A good many childhood ailments are cured miraculously as soon
as it's too late to go to school.

Please note:
A Downing Street spokesman has confirmed that in order to meet the
conditions for joining the Euro the phrase 'spending a penny' is
not to be used after the 31st of December 2013.
From this date the correct terminology will be 'euronating'.

>-->Quotes & Thunkers:
"Hey, I read about a McDonald's in California that was built
with mostly recycled synthetic material. Which is ironic
because recycled synthetic material is also the main ingredient
in a McRib." -Jimmy Fallon
"A lot of accidents are caused by bikers who don't have a feel
for the road, like the dentists and accountants that take
Harleys out on the weekend." -Craig Ferguson
"People around the world think America is the coolest country.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have an explosion to walk away from
while I put on sunglasses in slow motion." -Jimmy Kimmel
"A new survey found that half of all American employees have
faked a sick day. While the other half have just lied on a
survey." -Jimmy Fallon
"A woman in Buffalo set a new world record for eating 183
buffalo wings. I don't think there will be a second date."
-David Letterman
"'Dancing With the Stars' has big names this season, including
that guy from that thing." -Craig Ferguson
"Beaches in Italy are now training dogs to become lifeguards.
That should work as long as someone throws a tennis ball at
you while you're drowning." -Jimmy Fallon
"A newspaper is a thing that people used to read. It's like
a website, but all the information is from yesterday."
-Craig Ferguson
There has been a lot of talk about conserving energy. Like
keeping the thermostat down in the winter. Using low energy
bulbs. Turning off lights. Using less gas. It made me
realize, my dad was like the first environmentalist. He
would walk around the house yelling, 'turn off those lights!
Turn the heat down!' He was green before his time." -Jay Leno
