“I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.” ~ Will Rogers (1879–1935)
"A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves." ~ Edward R. Murrow

"Politics is no longer a matter of Lying vs. Truth but Which Lie Do You Like? " – Joseph Cannon
"The government cannot give to anyone anything that it does not first take from someone else." ~ Ahh... the truth if ever it was spoken.
Thomas Jefferson is credited with having said: "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have." Heed the warning!
"Some folks are Wise and some are otherwise." - Tobias Smollett
Gardening is about enjoying the smell of things growing in the soil, getting dirty without feeling guilty, and generally taking the time to soak up a little peace and serenity. ~ Lindley Karstens, www.noproblemgarden.com

The Kid's Point of View:
RESPECT is not something that can be mandated; it is not something that can be bought. Respect is something that an individual must earn through his or her own actions. All of the intimidation, legislation, or any other forceful actions that may be utilized, will not result in true respect.
And when those who are honored through "force" turn their backs, they will find daggers in the eyes of even those believed to have been their closest friends.

Haven't been down your way in a while--used to work for Ezzell Trucking, so roamed the area a bit back then. Big Blue has always been a fave---actually, I buy most of my pants from there, because they're so reasonable. One of those places you can spend a couple of hours just wandering.
I sporadically get in the fray here--if I am working, don't have the time, and work occupies my mind. If I am not working, then I use the discussions to keep my mind working. I'm medically disabled, and work from my apartment on the phone and computer, but, between projects right now. Leading up to the election opens it up considerably, but I should be starting something in Sept., and will be moving the first of October to Coats--my lady friend and I are getting under one roof.
Seeya around.

Ron's is good--Joy used to work there, when we first started seeing each other.
I can see $15K at Big Blue, especially if you like lawn and garden stuff, power tools, and livestock supplies. Many folks can't begin Saturday without a visit to Big Blue. When I was a homeowner, I was same way, for a while.
I use Avast for anti-virus---good, efficient and free program! It stops things dead, gives you the warning signs and signals, so computer is fine.
seeya!

You were at Parker's Ferry off hwy. 158 where they had the bear. Great place, I saw them once myself. THey have a HUGE prison complex sitting there now and the bear's have been long gone as you said.
I Have been to Aulander on several Occasions. I still have an Uncle that lives in Aulander but I have never seen/heard of the light's you are talking about.
The only place in Bertie County that I am familiar with any light's of any sort of size is in Windsor, which is about 20 miles South of Aulander. They have a huge display of 350,000+ lights at this one man's home.
I love visiting the area, very surreal to visit those small places.

Yes, I have forgotten all about that!!
Interestingly Enough I met the Early family during my service in the Army. The people that live right on the railroad track's (The Earley's) all lived and farmed that area and it was basically named after their family.
The youngest son joined the army and it was such a small world meeting someone within' 20 miles or so of where I grew up. I remember when he was discharged, he married a Dr. and moved to Charlotte where he is a Police Officer now.
Small world that anyone would remember those lights! Give's me a great idea for my next motorcycle trip! I might have to get over that way and take some pictures of the tracks and of a few more places over that way.

1 lb. bulk sausage 1 lb. grated cheese (medium cheddar works well) 1.5 cups bisquick (or store brand biscuit mix)
Squash and knead it all together in a bowl, form in into bawls.
Place on large baking pan.
Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes, turn and bake until done, about 10-12 more minutes.
Remove from pan to paper towels for excess grease removal.

Weird thing was, about a month before I had that really bad pain, my Mom had her gall bladder out; she suffered for years with nausea and all the other symptoms. Her doctor told her to have it removed, the insurance company said it would be an elective surgery...when they got the gall bladder out, it was only working at 1% of capacity and had solidified...."elective surgery"...go figure!!

They're the lingerie division of Chico's, in case you've never heard of them.
They have this awesome line of underwear that don't creep up, because there's some sort of silicon strips at the legs. Lovely!
And they are cute!

I like to read Catherine Coulters FBI series, Sherlock and Savich, Kay Hooper has a series out, a paranormal FBI series out, I'd have to go look that one up. Umm,, let's see,,,Iris Johansen has an Eve Duncan series that's good. Nora Roberts (who is also JD Robb, btw) has a number of good series out, I like her later words better than her ealier works. Sherrilyn Kenyon has a GREAT series, if you like something out of the ordinary. They are called the Dark Hunters

There is a link to the Dark Hunters on my profile and also to JD Robb
The Dark Hunters are immortal protectors of the humans against a race of people called Daimons,,sort of vampire types. Hilarious and KICK AZZ,,,with some greek gods thrown in to keep it interesting. THEN Christine Feehan has a couple of great series out,,the best being her Carpathians,,a race of immortal vampires,,good vampires, that are becoming extinct. Those are excellent. Dark Prince is the first.
Ummmm,,,Karen Marie Moning has a Highlander Series out,,oooolaaalaaa and double dayum,,if you need a good story line and some hot hot reading but aren't looking for anything grounded in reality
THEN,,Terri Blackstock and Dee Henderson have a great Christian Fiction series out.
I can keep going,,,I LOVE to read and my favorites are series because the characters don't end when the book does

If you like to be scared outta your wits,,,a wonderful christian fiction author that will keep you up nights is Frank Peretti...his This Present Darkness series will have you NOT sleeping, peering into corners.
I will have to check out this author. There are a couple of used book stores here that know me by name

I've seen D40s go in the mid-upper $300s, and I think it would be a great camera for somebody who is transitioning from a point-and-shoot to an SLR. I got a D50 when they were being discontinued, and the D40 is supposedly pretty close to that (but smaller in size).
They're neat things to play around with, but they do take some time to fully understand -- I'm still learning about some features on my camera, and I've had it for almost 3 years!

No problem Terri. I constantly question the motives and thought processes of those who call themselves Christians. There are many hippocrates in that religion, as there are in any religion or other group of people.
But when someone makes valid, intelligent points, I listen. No matter who they are! I wrote in my note to Day1 that the church which I believe Rev Sargent has in mind would once again raise it to an organization to be admired rather than derided as so many in the world do today.

I am proud to say that I have NEVER used any kind of insecticide on my plants. (The whole "garden" consists of about a dozen large containers.) There really hasn't been a need for it, except for that tomato worm thing. If I had to, I would have resorted to spraying soapy water on the leaves. Maybe the advantage is planting by the moon? Or else, I'm just plain lucky!
Kinda chilly today, huh?? I had to turn on the ceiling fan yesterday while at the computer because it was so humid, and today I'm about to turn it off. Same with the rest of the house. I DON'T want to even think about fall. Although, cooler weather and/or less humidity would feel good now.
I see where Rocknhorse may have a get-together at her newly-renovated house once they've settled in. I think she's in Benson? Is it possible that you could come to town?
