THE 24TH DAY OF THE 12TH MONTH



Well gang, we did it again.  Made it to Christmas Eve!  The tree is up, cooking is almost all done, most presents are wrapped and the place just smells of Christmas.  Crumb crunchers are going nuts and even the dogs know that something is afoot.  Santa has given us the greatest gift of all, and that is just to be able to celebrate the birth of Christ together.  Or maybe it was God that granted that!

At any rate, I wish to offer you wishes of good cheer and hopes for another year so we can celebrate this thing all over again. 

Merry Christmas my friends

The 18th day of the 12th month

I am headed for the Eastern Shore of MD this morning early and wish I could get some of these guys all steamed up and ready to go. 


But I guess at this time of year I'll just have to settle for some Rock Fish.  A little too early for Oysters and too late for crabs, so fish it will be.

I'll be out of town till the 24th so if I don't get the chance to write, you all please have a wonderful Christimas.

The 16th day of the 12th month of the year of the Camellia

"HOUSE"  KEEPING DETAIL

Getting closer to Christmas and I have still yet to complete shopping.  Unlike Washington, DC where there is this lame duck trying to screw us one and all, I am doing things which I feel are loving activities directed toward my family.

It never seems to surprise me the extent that a politician will sink for his/her own self aggrandizement and to hell with those he/she is supposed to do or represent.  They want to pass legislation that flies directly in the face of the last mid term election.  It's as if they are intent in thumbing their noses at us, the people. They seem to simply pass UNREAD legislation that is unneeded in the main and criminal in the least. 

What the hell is wrong with you people.  You actually let these thieves pass an almost 3,000 word taxation bill that will end up costing us Billions (yeah with a big B and yeah us), without a whimper!  And how dare they not read it before they vote.  Are you kidding me?
Then we let these fools, who have for the most part, never run a business, met a payroll, had to create a damn thing that the public would want to buy off the shelf, tell us what the economy needs. 

The real hypocrisy is that they are "expected" to act that way. but we would be put in jail for the same behavior.
Maybe the public plea should for them is to just "Go home.  Don't pass anything".  "Leave us alone until the next congress is sworn in"  At least when we get screwed it will be by a younger and hopefully prettier face.  So we maybe can  enjoy it a little better.  You don't have to kiss me first, but be at least gentle.  Simply do your damn job.  And don't make it to appear to be obvious rape, which is what is happening now.

All I can say is that there is another election in 2012 and I only hope that I am alive to see some more of these egos deflated at the poles..............regardless of their party affiliation.

People, this is what your elected officials think of you!


AND GUESS AT WHOSE EXPENSE THEY'RE LAUGHING!
ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK!

Some of you people wanted "Hope and Change".  Well how's that change working out for ya?
I saw last night where the poles were saying that congress (small c) had an approval rating of 13%. 

THIRTEEN PERCENT!

Some small third world dictators are more respected by their people than that.

Just disgusts me.  I want my Country back and congressman (again small c) you can take your arrogance and shove it.  We're going to put you out here, out of a job,  and see if you like having to look for a one.  Of course, you've already stolen enough that you don't have to do real work anyway.  Just disgusting! 

house (small h), senate (small s), doesn't make any difference.  The all took poly sci in college where they learned to screw the public and then we elected them, so they could refine their art.  Whose fault is that.  Wake up or we will become THAT third world country.

THE 15TH DAY OF THE 12TH MONTH OF THE YEAR OF THE CAMELIA

OK.  I'm fixin to get ready to wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Now don't get all tingly inside because it's not yet.

Not yet, because I still need to contribute my share to the national debt and finish my shopping.  But I am getting warmed up to it.

Last weekend, Sheri pulled together this year's tree and I took care of the outside festival on the house.  The tree is what I think is the most unique of all.  She has collected White house ornaments since they first started selling them in 1981.  The tree is completely covered with these ornaments and lights.  Pretty nice and certainly different.

So this year because we don't have a bunch of crumb crunchers running around, we decided to downsize.  A good thing because that artificial tall thing in the attic is getting pretty heavy to haul down the stairs and half of the pre-wired lights don't work.  This one is smaller and just fine.  I can't put the ornaments on it anyway, cause you just know each piece will go in the wrong place.  So best to retreat to a chair in the corner and turn  on the game whilst all that decorating is going on .  Domestic bliss and all that stuff don't you know.  We will still probably get enough stuff under the smaller tree to created the need for a second mortgage just to pay for it all.  

But we all know it is better to get than to receive.  Er, maybe that's backwards or something's not right.  Oh well you get the drift. 

Just preparin!


Nice job Sheri! And thank you.

The 14th day of the 12th month of the year of the Camellia

Ice


Even though I miss the Chesapeake Bay, I am not sure that I miss this.  After the bay freezes, at some point, it's got to break up.  Just the power of the tides piles these mini-bergs on shore.

Twenty degrees here in SC at 5 AM.
