TODAY, THE SADDLE RIVER DAY SCHOOL HAS AN OUTING...A FIELD TRIP TO GRANNYS ATTIC....THE PURPOSE WAS TO GET INSPIRATION TO WRITE A NON FICTION STORY, OR TO USE THE ANTIQUES TO TRIGGER MEMORIES FROM THEIR OWN PAST...TO WRITE A STORY BASED ON REALITY FROM THEIR PAST.
I HAD ARRANGED WITH THEIR TEACHER, A FEW WEEKS AGO, FOR A BUS LOAD OF 12TH GRADERS. I ARRIVED 30 SECONDS BEHIND THEIR BUS..BECAUSE OF A TIE UP ON RT 17, I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE BUILDING AND TURN ON THE LIGHTS BEFORE THEY GOT OFF THE BUS.
I HAD EDDIE QUICKLY BRING OUT SODAS, WATER AND COOKIES... A GESTURE TO MAKE THEM FEEL WELCOME AND AT HOME.....AND STRANGELY ENOUGH, THEY WERE ALL IN VERY HEALTHY STATE...NONE WERE TO LEAN OR OVER WEIGHT.
THEIR TEACHER INTRODUCED ME.....AND I INVITED THEM TO SIT WON ON A PILE OF PERSIAN RUGS...OR ON CHAIRS SET OUT AROUND THEM. AND SUDDENLY, I felt like I was a teacher again, talking to my students....... I explained that all these old tings, hold memories...sad and happy......for a hundred years... a was a bit dramamtic, but they all listened. I told them to feel free to touch..feel, items an even close their eyes and feel their vibrations.. I invited them to ask em any questions about any of the items....i would bemore than happy to share with them, and knopwledge that I have...and I briefly mentioned the concept of artistic ability and sharing..
The kids browsed arounda dn many of them cme to me and we talked...It was a warm wonderful feeling....and It was a flashback in time, to when I really enjoyed life, enjoyed my job, and felt very useful to others....
One kid priced and oil painting and paid me 400 dollars on a credit card. Another kid bought a baseball glove, and three others bought old life magazine and a glass.
In a way, the hour was almost dream like, and the emotions bittersweet.

POrn is Boring! Dreams
Porn, after all these years bores me. I guess I take a peek at it becasue of habit....but today, I found my self loking not at the action, but at the settings. They had great antiques in them. The pornographers have good taste. I found myself admiring a large Japanese Imari charger (plate) with scalloped edges and the tradition blue, burnt orange and white bakground. The chair was a blue leather queen an Wing chair. The carpet was a Persian ANtique Heriz, with a center medalian. The Oak QUeen ANn server had a nice silver tea set on it...and a MIRROR, in a gilt frame hung over the server. The fireplace had a nice reproduction painting in a gilded frame over it...Brass andirons and a Stained glass reproduction fire screen.
Now if I only knew who makes porn, I can either sell them or rent them props!!!!!
I have always found dreams facination....from my earliest age.. I can still remember one might mare I had when a mere child...or baby..... It took place behind the apartment house where I lived until I was 4.5 years old. There was a cement wall in the dream, and I didnt know what was on the other side, except I was afraid of a creature that was hiding, or lived behind or below this wall. I had given it a name...which I still remember... The dream I think was recurrent a few times..or at least until we moved to NJ....The dream still fascinates me.
Last night, I had a dream, where I was in some kind of club.. I had a microphone in my hand, like I use in the auction... I started sining a song.....but I knew I was inventing the song as I went along. I also knew that I had "stolen" the first few bars of the music from soe other song...but the rest was written by me. I was really able to hear myself sing n the dream, and I was on key and I thought that I sounded good. But other people said I was lousy.... But I didint care, I didnt belive them...I felt that I was good.
When I awoke, I still remembered how the song went. It was catchy....but because I didnt write it down, it now has evaporated....I alway wonder how we can "hear" music and our own voices in a dream....and how we can actually see the dream...and still "see" it in our imagination later...
Dreams are like a three dimentional chess game.. They have many meanings....I will start to interpret the dream is that even though other people do not agree with my creativity(of various kinds) I still have faith in myself. The words in the song would have been important...but I have forgotten them, unfortunatley. Also the feeling the dreams leave you with is important. It was mostly a plesant dream and I felt good in it..and upon awakening... So even though I am stressed with business , I still consciously and subconscioulsy in good shape.
The next dream I was driving in WEST VIRGINIA. WHY? Who knows. I think I was heding home to NJ. I was driving down the highway......an immense hill...that you cold see from the top...might have been miles long to the bottom. Sort of scary/ I was telling someone that this was ROUTE 70..and in the dream it looked familiar to me, as a road I had taken many times before...but in reality, when awake, I had never seen it before. When we reached the bottom, we wre not longer in the country but in some town. With lots of stores and shopping. I think I was with my sister and we went into one store that was supposedly famous for bargains.... I also sort of "feel" that there was some danger if we walked around the streets... Maybe the "fear of the unknown"

LEFTOVERS-A MEMORY
WHILE EATING SOME LEFT OVER TURKEY-TETRAZINI,,,,FROM THE AUCTION BUFFET, MY MIND TRAVELED BACK SOME 44 YEARS, TO A DINING ROOM IN THE POCONO MOUNTAINS...IN THE HOME OF THE FAMILY OF A FREIND OF MINE FROM COLLEGE. HER NAME WAS WENDY...WHY I WAS WITH HER IN THE POCONOS, I CANNOT REMEMBER....IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN JUST A RIDE IN THE COUNTRY, OR MAYBE I VOLUNTEERED TO DRIVE HER HOME.
I WAS ALREADY IN THE ANTIQUE BUSINESS...AND MY SISTER ARLENE WAS NOT YET MARRIED..BUT I BOUGHT A FEW THINGS FROM THIS FAMILY THAT I EVENTUALLY GAVE TO MY SISTER AFTER SHE WAS MARRIED... A GREEN MAJOLICA ASPARGUS DISH, A BLUE TO CLEAR CUT GLASS BASKET, AND A BLUE CUT TO CLEAR CUT GLASS WINE GOBLET.
WENDY TOLD ME HER FAMILY IS POOR. HER FATHER IS AN ARTIST, WHO CREATED FAUX WALLS, FAUX STONES, FAUX BRICKS,........BUT HE RARELY WORKED. HER MOTHER, WHO WAS GOING BLIND, STILL WORKED IN A HOTEL NEAR BY. THERE WERE TWO YONGER BROTHER IN THEIR EARLY TEENS,.....HENCE, ALTHOUGH THEY OWNED THEIR OWN HOME ON A FEW ACRES, GREW THEIR OWN FOOD, HAD A GOAT AND MADE THEIR OWN CHEESE....WERE POOR.
THE PARENTS INVITED ME FOR DINNER.... tHEY ANNOUCE THEY WERE MAKING PASTA WHICH ANCHOVIE SAUCE AND GOAT CHEESE. aNCHOVIES AND gOAT CHEESE...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THOSE OF YOU WHO READ MY BLOGS KNOW I LOVE ALMOST ALL FOODS....ALL MEATS, ALL SEAFOODS, ALL CHEESES, ALL VEGGIES AND FRUIT....AND ALL SPICES......BUT anchovies and goat cheese are two of the few items, that i hate..that make me gag....but together in one dish...OH MY GOD.... I cannot eat this. I will puke on the table.
I watched as the mother ground up the anchovies and garlic in a mortar and pestle. Then she added virgin olive oil...and mixed them all, then heated it. She made a salald from veggies from the garden. Made garlic bread from long italian bread. the feast weas on the table.. In those years, the entire meal for 7 or 8 of us, might have cost under 2.00. THEY WERE POOR, BUT PROUD, AND CREATIVE PEOPLE, kind and generous. We all eventually sat down at the table....an antique Italian round table supported by completly hand carved men with beards...sort of like Atlas holding up the world...there were 4 men holding up this magnificent table. I admired it...and he said he would sell it to me for 500 dollars....which in 1966, was like 5 weeks salary.....or maybe 5 to 10,000 dollars today. I complemented him on his treasure....
The mother lit candles. We sat down, and the father, folded his hand, and made a prayer with his charming Italian accent.
We started with salad and garlic bread...all the while, I was very anxious for the next course to come. Spaghetti with ANCHOVIES and GOAT CHEESE. The mother eventually cleared away the salald plates and put soup bowls in front of us...Then in a very large pottery bowl,she empties the pot filled with hot spaghetti...then she poured on the hot anchovie garlic goat cheese sauce..and started tossing it...adding salt and pepper.... I was apprehensive. How WOuld I handle this. I could not tell them I hate what they were serving..I couldnt hurt them.. I wasnt smart enough to think of saying I am alergic to seafood and lactose intolerant.....
THen, if you imagine the music from the movie, when the shark was approaching..mama served me and put a large portion...a very large portion...My heart was pounding...
I picked up the fork, looked up and waited for everyone else to start eating.I dug in, twisted the spaghettis around the fork, and as in slow motion, brought the fork up to my mouth. I and chowed down!! I didnt like it. But it wasnt that bad. Somehow the blending of flavors...salty fish, sharp goat cheese, fresh potent garlic, and virgin olive oil....blended into one flavor that was almost tolerable.
When "mama" asked me how I liked it..I smiles, and put on an acadmey award winning smile" and said, "its wonderful" Well, it was wonderful, that I didnt puke!!!So I didnt lie... They were proud....and poor. And on this YOM Kippur, I have been humbled by remembering these people.....over 40 years ago.
And, after writing this....I am going to recreate the meal..this week, and time travel back 40 years. I am sure, the minute I taste the meal....a mystical thing will happen.

The auction came and went...I cant breath again...HAPPY NEW YEAR -recipes
I was able to keep myself together fo the auction....The energy level was high, I was rediculous, and kept the audience happy, but was unable to make them laugh enough, to let loose with large spending. They were reserve, if now down right cheap. The main problem.... our loyal auction customers..just dont need anymore crap.
I started the auction with an annoucemnt! iS THERE AN EYE dR IN THE HOUSE??? i NEED TO HOOK YO UP WITH ONE OF OUR MAIL CUSTOMERS... oNE OF THEM MISSED THE URINAL BY A MILE. hIS AIM WAS HORRENDOUS... AND THE BOYS HAVE TO CLEAN UP THE FLOOR. DOES THE WORD.. COCKEYED MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU.?
THE CROWD, IF YOU WANT TO CAL IT THAT......WAS ABOUT WHAT WE WERE HAVING USUALLY, BEFORE WE CANCELLED THE AUCTIONS 2 YEARS AGO. AND THE INTAKE WAS ABOT THE SAME...THE CONSISTENCY...IS SOME KIND OF MESSAGE...
EVERYONE WENT HOME A BIT AFTER TEN IN THE EVENING..I WAS TIRED, MY BACK AND FEET HURT... and the coughing, which again begain during the auction, was geting worse. Form the exhaustion of the past week, and a few swings of the Codene cough medicine, I thik I passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow. It is now 5 in the morning.....I have been up for abot 40 min, coughing my brains out.....and I cant seem to stop. I took some more cough syrup.. to help stop the chest shatter vibrations and maybe get more sleep.
I guess I am going to cough my way into the NEW YEARm, which starts at SUN DOWN.
I wish everyone rading this Healthy and peaceful year to come....and, inroder to achienve peace and joy, you have to spread it around too. Joy, is like peanut butter, unless you spread it all over the bread...it lumps up and isnt good unless it
all flat,even, and equal.
Recipe: SOME KIND OF SOUP... I started with a huge can of crem of CHICKEN SOUP...industrial size, threee cans of corn with its liquid. Can of bean sprouts, can of potatoes diced (no liquid)A few cups of liquid left over from cooking boiled chicken. a few tablespoons of roasted peanut oil.. four chopped chicken breasts.. Two packages of fake lump crabmeat, two finely chopped onions... 4 finely chopped scallions, paprica, worchester sauce 4 tablespoons, a sprinkly of garlic powder, black pepper, one chopped red pepper,.....heat then taste and balalnce seasonaing to taste....YUM. There should be avery fine after taste of peanut oil.
My sister was a great help....she made her famous pasta salad....and help prepare what ever was needed...my regular crew was outstanding....of course, when I get nervous I yelland scream a bit....but I always compliment their work when it is over...They all are great people.... and I am blessed by having them all around.

The President is on Letterman, auction fever..Rosh Hashana
Everyone who knows me, knows that I am not religious...., but never the less I am spiritual. Religion does have its place. It gives groups of people an indentity based on common beliefs and culture. This culture is based on language, music,food..legends, and history and superstition.
One of the biggest and most important part of most JEWISH holidays....is chicken soup. Without Chicken soup, ther can be no holiday.....and this particular Rosh HAshona, I look forward to my sisters CHICKEN SOUP with dill.....more than ever. I had bronchitis...and was so looking forward to the soothing quality the soup would give. ANd It was wonderful.....it went down, smoothly and calmed my cough. Although a few days later....today and even as I type,I am still coughing my brains out. My lungs hurt, my head hurts.....and at the moment, I am hallucination the aroma of a nice bowl of chicken soup.
THIS WEEK... we are trying to make the main hall of the store....back into an auction hall.....the boys have been working on this for two weeks already...putting the very expensive stuff upstairs and teh items to be sold this Saturday....on the auction floor. The boys are really doing a great job....And I must admit they are very smart...and know what to do without me..always on their backs telling them everything to do....
Today they went to NYC...down the VILLAGE and brough in a partial contents of an apartment..with some very lovely things....three French inlaid tables with ORMULU.. 50-80 years old, fabulous bronze lamps, oil paintings, Chandelier. Breakfront in antique white also about 50 years old or more....and just a bunch of very nice things......
Tonight, I went to a house, in th e iddle of "nowhere" on top of a mountain in MAHWAH....he road was winding, and to get there, I had to pass over two bridges. I knew that in this mountain there are many deer and bears...yes BLack Bears.....The woman called me and gaveme directions...but the further up the mountain I went, the stranger it got...finally, it seemed to dead end in a huge gravel driveway.....in fron of a Modern Stone mansion, that was L shaped....and there were no lights on in any window. I was getting nervous, looking in the rear view mirror, expwecting some car to pull up behind me...maybe shoot me in the head... Or a bunch of cop cars might come and arrest me.. You see this house, must have had 40 rooms....there was a huge horse barn to my left and about 30 feet lower.........I started hinking my horn, hoping someone might come out of the house...it was very odd...there were three....three car garages...no cars to be seen, no lights were on....and the woman said, it was the last house on the road.....
I kept thinking I was being set up. I tried to call her and at that level of the MOUNTAIN, the phone didnt work..... I drive into what I thought was a driveway, and it became another road...with more curves and more stone building.......and more huge homes.....it got wierder and wierder. I kept driving and eventually, I came out on the main road, at the bottom of the mountain......a few miles from the original bridge I took, over the Ramapoo river.......to begin the climb.
I tried to correct some of the spelling adn typing errors, but I wasnt able to get into the blog to change the spelling.. Sorry... Well I was able to call the woman, and got better directions......I found her and she took me into a decrepit house, with more mold than in a cheese factory.... I was able to finally make a deal and buy a few nice things....and will return with the big turck to buy more....No very rare things, but very sellable nice tables, lamps, desks, etc......She is the next door neighbor...who took care of the man who passed for 6 months.......Her husband came by later on, and it turned out I knew him......he reminded me of Jim Carey, facially and personality.....except he had prematurly grey/white hair....We talked for a while and it was a very pleasant hour.......
President Obama is now on Letterman.....I must admit, I still get a thrill when he walks out...and more when he is on a Tv program as a "person" not making a speech..when he is natural.......I am as proud of him now as I was in the begining.....of his presidency....and when he won the election..

Tonight, I went to a house, in th e iddle of "nowhere" on top of a mountain in MAHWAH....he road was winding, and to get there, I had to pass over two bridges. I knew that in this mountain there are many deer and bears...yes BLack Bears.....The woman called me and gaveme directions...but the further up the mountain I went, the stranger it got...finally, it seemed to dead end in a huge gravel driveway.....in fron of a Modern Stone mansion, that was L shaped....and there were no lights on in any window. I was getting nervous, looking in the rear view mirror, expwecting some car to pull up behind me...maybe shoot me in the head... Or a bunch of cop cars might come and arrest me.. You see this house, must have had 40 rooms....there was a huge horse barn to my left and about 30 feet lower.........I started hinking my horn, hoping someone might come out of the house...it was very odd...there were three....three car garages...no cars to be seen, no lights were on....and the woman said, it was the last house on the road.....
I kept thinking I was being set up. I tried to call her and at that level of the MOUNTAIN, the phone didnt work..... I drive into what I thought was a driveway, and it became another road...with more curves and more stone building.......and more huge homes.....it got wierder and wierder. I kept driving and eventually, I came out on the main road, at the bottom of the mountain......a few miles from the original bridge I took, over the Ramapoo river.......to begin the climb.
I tried to correct some of the spelling adn typing errors, but I wasnt able to get into the blog to change the spelling.. Sorry... Well I was able to call the woman, and got better directions......I found her and she took me into a decrepit house, with more mold than in a cheese factory.... I was able to finally make a deal and buy a few nice things....and will return with the big turck to buy more....No very rare things, but very sellable nice tables, lamps, desks, etc......She is the next door neighbor...who took care of the man who passed for 6 months.......Her husband came by later on, and it turned out I knew him......he reminded me of Jim Carey, facially and personality.....except he had prematurly grey/white hair....We talked for a while and it was a very pleasant hour.......
President Obama is now on Letterman.....I must admit, I still get a thrill when he walks out...and more when he is on a Tv program as a "person" not making a speech..when he is natural.......I am as proud of him now as I was in the begining.....of his presidency....and when he won the election..

Happy New Year
To some, the High Holy Days are hear.... 'In the Culture of the Hebrews, the New Year was held, after the crops were harvested....and the summer was over. They didnt have a Holiday December season....Jesus wasnt to be born yet for another 2700 years or so,....and their months were different. But, since it still was celebrated every year.....the basic idea of a new year is the same.
Now if I was in charge of making Holidays... I would have chosen, early Spring as teh NEW YEAR. The begining....of a new season..When everything starts growing again, but since the mideast, didnt have winters like we do, and there was no snow for the first flowers to push thru, the dramatic changes of the seasons werent as apparent as we have them in other parts of the world.....
So tonight at sun down, we (who ever you want to included in the WE) start to celebrate a new year... 5700 and something....I lost count......ALl the religous people go to the TEMPLE and start praying. They have been praying for 5700 years...and tell me has anything changed? NO! There are still wars, and diseases, and famines, and tornadoes, and earthquakes, and tidal WAVES, AND HURRICANES...AND TERRORISTS,,,,,BUT..WHAT OTHER GROUP HAS SURVIVED 5700 YEARS AS A COHESIVE GROUP, ALWAYS CHANGING, ALWAYS MODERNIZING,....BUT WHAT EVER THE MAGIC OF THOSE PRAYERS CONTAIN, IT HAS HELD THE JEWS TOGETHER THROUGH THE MOST HORRIBLE OF TIMES,,,,,FROM THE PERSECUTIONS OF THE ROMANS, THE SPANISH INQUISITION, THE HOLLOCAUST, THE POGROMS OF THE POLES AND RUSSIANS, AND THE LESSER KNOWS POGRAOMS IN OTHER COUNTRIES...LIKE ENGLAND, THE MIDEAST.....ET ALL. Even after 66% of all the Jews in Europe were murdered, and the rest of the entire world looked on...INCLUDING THIS SO CALLED PEACE LOVING UNITED STATES OF AMERICA..... they came out stronger than ever, and formed a Jewish State of Israel. ANd in some ways, they only repeated the horrors of their opporesers, on the Palestinians, who, in some way are to blame for the violence....but not in all ways. Little Children shold be murdered regardless which side of the fence they are on.
Unfortunatley the leader of the Palestinians. Yasser ARRAFAT, stole most of the monies that were given to the Palestinians for the purpose of making them heallthier and wealthier.... The people over their are mostly uneducated and belive what they were told.....Had they had better housing, education and food and medicine, with the money ARRAFAT stole, more people might be on hand. Arrafat knew, if peace had been made, he would be less important, and there would be less for him to steal.....He in an abstract was, was like Bush and Cheney to American.. ALl the money was emptied out of the treasury.....but the entire country there is in poverty, with a few exceptions.
Back to NEW YEARS. Lets hope each year, that peace might be closer....it would be at our door, if there wasnt so much profit in WAR. Halleburton, Cheneyhs company got 368 Billion DOllars before the IRaqi war started.....to rebuild IRAQ...WHen that happened one knew the war was inevitable......whY it was onlyh about money....You think BUSH gave a shit about the people of IRAQ???that Saddam was a ruthless killer? Of course not, We killed more Iraqis than SADDAM ever did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE ONLY WAY WE CAN HAVE PEACE IS WHEN THE COMMON MAN WANTS IT..AND WILL STOP LISTENING TO THE POLITICIANS....THE COMMON MAN MUST STAND UP AND SAY NO MORE WAR I WONT GO...IF NO ONE WILL FIGHT THERE WILL BE NO MORE WAR..SO, THAT IS WHY THE POLITICIANS, HAVE TO SPREAD LIES AND HATRED....AND MAYBE EVEN BOMB THEIR OWN COUNTRY TO BLAME IT ON SOMEONE ELSE..
Tonight, all the Chickens of the world shake in fear....this is CHICKEN SOUP SEASON...pots all over the world, in JEWISH HOMES, were bubbling with savory chicken soup, some laced with fresh dill and garlic, and many, accompanied by Matzo balls. This is a tradition...that started proabbly in Eastern Europe.....and spread round the world.......If I had a time machine, I would take it on a trip tonight, and go backwards in history..and find the inventor of the Matzoh Ball...what prompted someone to make the first one. Probably, they had a catastrophy....all theri matohs were severly damamged.....broken somehow into minute pieces.....and they figured out how to eat it...by adding liquid, and flavoring and eggs and forming a ball and cooking it......in soup..... If we could find the first yenta who made the matzoh ball, we could have Israel come our with a commemorative stamp series.. One with the Womans face, one with a matzo ball, one with a matzo bry (that is scrambled eggs with soften matzoes in it and onion) and the foruth stamp(in a block of four) would have her family at the table eating.....and if you really want to get creative, they could have the glue on the back of the stamp taste like a matzoh ball whem licked..
The nice part of having a blog, is that I write for myself...I just let my stream of consciousness go on and on.....and once in a while I come across something, funny, or creative, or even some good ideas?
I leave this New Yeas blog with wishing all the readers, Jews or Not, relgious or not, Atheist or not....or confused....or not.....with wishes of Peace, good health, and happiness....

My Face and Bronchitis
I never really liked my face, or any of its parts. My lips and nose are ok, but when i was young I hated my ears....they were like wings, extended so that if i fell out of an airplance, I could probably glide safely to the ground. As the years past, a bit after college, it seemed that my head got bigger or my ears got smaller and all the parts and pieces seemd to blend to gether, excep the hair.. The hair decided, it didnt really like sitting on top of my head and it slowly started to leave. The depression set in....of course, at 19 years old, the brushes and combs started collecting too much loose hair...and it didnt take long, for me to get a wig...but that story is another wild one.
They say that everyone has a double. Well I have doubles, triples, quadruples and fivetuplets(yes I know quintuplets) sextuplets....and more. The first time I found an exact duplicate of this PUNIM(face) I wan in CAPE COD. I was around 19 or 20 and went tiwht freinds for a weekend....I immediate passed a "used" store and in the window was my portraint... wearing the same damn sweater that I have had at home, the same hair style, it was the spitting image of me. I bought it for about 30 dollars...and no one belived that I didnt sit for a portrait.
The second time I remembered seeing a double was in the Uffutzi art Gallery in Florence ITALY. I was walking up the stairs and found my self looking in the! I soon realized it wasnt a mirror but an oil painting...of a guy in strange clothing....but the face was MINE.
The THIRD one was found byh an antique dealer named WERNER...who bought a paininting at an auction in AMSERDAM..It was filty...and he couldnt see what the painting was all about. When he cleaned it...it was ME!! He sid he freaked out...the spitting image of me.....Wellm I did some research and my family was in HOLLAND in the late 1500's and early 1600's. I didnt ask the age of this painting..but who knows.... There have been many more over the years...and I just found another one in NATIONAL GEOGRPAHIC>..a guy in a truck holding a baby camel....home the photo will come out...looks just like me when I was about 35-40
Yesterday I had a tickle in my throat...but it was a warning....I just knew it would tunr into bronchitis...but not as quickly as it did. By evening..I was coughing all thru the night....this morning I felt feverish and coldnt control the coughing....it finally turned into projectile vomiting from the coughing...yuk....I was feverish.....and laid down on amatrees in the office..for three hours....when I got up it was worse,,,BArbara Comerford told me to get my ass over to a DR right now...which i did. In one day it turned into full blown bronchitis and on the way to PNEUMONIA...hadnt I gone and got anti-biotics... Well the pill is the size of a small submarine..which I swallowed whole...Leva quil, or something like that...It is probably consensed Jewish CHicken soup....with BUBBA MYICIN in it......

AMERICA'S NAZI TIES: 3 BUSHES, KARL ROVE, 9/11
BUSH-NAZI LINK CONFIRMED -Prescott Bush, the grandfather of ...
The Bush-Rove-Schwarzenegger Nazi Nexus - George W. Bush's grandfather helped finance the Nazi Party. Karl Rove's grandfather allegedly helped run the Nazi ...

IF YOU CANNOT ACCESS THE INFORMATION FROM THE ABOVE LINK....COPY AND PASTE THE www.geocities.com/bushfamilynazis/
In short, Grandpa Prescott Bush financied the Nazis in the begining...and then after Pearl Harbor, sold the Nazis, war goods...guns,bullets...etc... then with the money....DADDY Bush and SONNY Bush became presidents....their wealth helped.
Karl Rove (his real last name is ROVERER.....his grand daddy helped build a German Concentration camp and ovens>.. etc..The Bush/republican adminsitration is very very NAzi tainted. They used Hitlers tactics....if the lies are big enough, the people will belive them....and they did.
Tomorrow is 8 years since the entiure world changed. Not only did the skyline of NYC change, but I think we all changed in one way or another. If this doesnt apply to you, please do not be offended.
We are more paranoid of everyone and everything. We trust the goverment much less than ever....(they didnt protect us...from"the enemy" and we were attacked in our own country) We even couldnt protect our own "Pentagon"....and many of us, really belive this was impossible, if we didnt want it to happen..which, indicates that some think BUSh and Cheney, let this happen, so the American People would buy another war....in the name of REVENGE/
Since 9/11, there has been more personal and business bankruptcies..than any time since the GREAT DEPRESSION. There have been more people loosing their homes and businesses...Partially due to the economy faltering...and partially that those in the baking indust ry are crooked, and gave too many loans that woudlnt be paid....just to make the loans....they knew it would all crash, but their personal greed came first...not responsible banking ethics.
since 9/11, I havent laughed and smileds as much...my sense of the bizarre, and silliness took a back seat....when there is so much seriousness to talk and think about. So many of us lost our stocks and bonds and savings...and worry replaced optimism......
A special sense of frustration developed when we were forced fed BUSh and Cheney and RUMSFELD LIES...and upon relection (That was again tampered with) the frustration increased, and a hopelessness set in.//// we have become a less nice society...putting down all ARABS and MOSLEMS, when, the majority of them are not bad people.....the terrorists, Al quida and the TALIBAN are sick fundamentalists.....who are evil....evil enough to convince young children to blow themselves up for ALLAH...and their parents get somewhere around 10,000 dollar in blood money.Remember....BEN LADEN, was schooled in the USA...and didnt wear a beard and those schmatas(rags and robes) and he had worked for the CIA!!!!!!ALSO, and I am sure there is no co incidence, but DADDY BUSH and BIN LADENS FATHER are both big stock owners in teh Carlisle Group...that makes war materials, including the BRADLEY TANKS, now usedin the IRAQI and AFGANI WAR.....(doesnt anyone see something fishy with this?)
The younger generation has no balls. During the 60's and 70's we had nerve, balls, hutzpah. No one seems to give a crap about anything....no protesters, not very many angry people showing how they feel. Now we are all in outer space, with wires coming out of our ears, either from a BLUE TOOTH ear piece, or an IPOD, or what ever is the latest gadget to take us futher away from facing reality.
If there is a pattern to all these trends, the younger generation seems to have no ties with the past..Whether it be learning history, or collecting and liking antiques..they seem to have the same dulled sense of reality..like SARAH PALIN saying she can see RUSSIA from her bedroom window, and other historical and geographic misconceptions.
I am guilty of this next one. So many of the peopel today get their news, not from a printed source, but from the crap on FOX(faux) news...which isnt news at all, or the crap that appears on the front page of American ON LINE, most of the headlines dealing with Celebrity affairs,divorces, who is gay, who had a nose or boob job,.....or, it is inundated with horrible graphic murders, or strange things like a guy who seruved a pipe going thru his skull....or a baby with its heart on the outsdie of its body..or an 8 legged calf...All bizarre news..but ITS NOT NEWS..ITS DISTRACTION FROM THE REAL NEWS...T HAT THE COUNTRY IS FALLING APART, THE POLITITANS ARE ALL CROOKS, THE BIG COROPORATIONS ARE ROBBING AND RAPING US, DISEASE COULD BE CURED BUT TOO MANY CANT AFFORD THE MEDICINES...THE WAR SHOULD BE OVER BECUASE IT WILL BANKRUPT THE ENTIRUE COUNTRY...ETCETC.
THE WORLD HAS CHANGED.. CHARITIES ARE SUFFERING BECUASE PEOPLE GIVE LESS...AND ARE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR OWN WELFARE. WE ARE NOT THE SAME KIND LOVING PEOPLE AS WE ONCE WERE.....AND PARTIALLY BECUASE WE ARE ALL WORRIED...WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN DOWN THE ROAD.

OBAMAS SPEECH-0MG IT WAS GREAT
OBAMA WAS INCREDIBLE....I DO NOT REMEBER ANY PRESIDENT MAKE A SPEECH, SO ARTICULATE, YET UNDERSTANDABLE FOR THE COMMON MAN(AND WOMAN) tHERE WERE A FEW BIG WORDS THAT SOME MIGHT NOT KNOW, LIKE :"ACRIMONIOUS" BUT IT SOUNDED LIKE HE WAS TALKING BOTH TO US AND MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.....HE WAS PASSIONATE.... HE IS FOR THE PEOPLE!!! NOT THE CORPORATIONS, THE INSURANCE COMPANIES...HE UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEMS PEOPLE HAVE WITH HEALTH ISSUES...
WHEN THE CAMERA FOCUSED IN ON THE REPUBLICANS SITTING THERE WITH FROZEN "FERBISSENEH"FACES....I ACTUALLY GOT SO ANGRY, I WOULD HAVE LIKE TO GO DOWN THE AISLES WITH A BASEBALL BAT. THEY REMINDED ME OF A BUNCH OF NAZIS, AT A BAR MITZVAH!!!!
THEY HAVE SPINNED SO MANY LIES. OBAMA DID NOT CREATE SOCIALIZED MEDICINE. THOSE WITH INSURANCE CAN KEEP THEIR OLD POLICIES, BUT THEIR COMPANIES CANNOT DENY THEM CARE..WHICH THEY CAN DO NOW... FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE INSURANCE, THEY WILL HELP PEOPLE GET IT..CHEAPER.....BUT IT WILL NOT BE GOVERNMENT OWNED AND GOVERNMENT SOCIALIZED MED DRS... AND EVEN THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD INURANCE, THEY WILL HOOK THEM UP WITH AN INSURANCE PLAN, SO THEY CAN GET MEDICAL CARE. AND HE IS NOT GOING TO TAKE ONE PENNEY OUT OF MEDICARE....YOU COULD FEEL THAT IT JUST WASNT A SPEECH WITH A BUNCH OF WORDS.....WRITTEN ON PAPER....OBAMA IS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT US...AND i BELIVE HIM.. YES, HE IS A POLITICIAN....AND i AM SURE PART OF HIS MOTIVATION IS EGO AND PRIDE, AND WANTING TO BE THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT.....YES EGO, BUT HE IS ALSO, BRILLIANT, ARTICULATE, AND CARING...I PROPOSE A QUESTION....WHY CANT YOU BE BOTH A CARING [PERSON, AND STILL WANT TO HAVE YORU EGO ELEVATED....WHY NOT.
NOT SINCE KENNEDY, HAVE WE HAD A PRESIDENT THAT MOVED ME AS OBMAM DID. jIMMY CARTER IS A WONDERFUL MAN....BUT CANNOT SPEAK AS WELL AS OBMAMA.. TEDDY KENNEDY, IS THE ONLY OTHER PERSON IN MY BOOK THAT CAN ADRESS A CROWD WITH THE SAME MAGNITISM AND ELOQUENCE/
i HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THAT WHORE, SARAH PALIN ALL DAY.....WITH HER LIES....SHE IS LIKE A FEMALE GEO BUSH....STUPID....AND OPENS MOUTH AND INSERTS FOOT. SOME SAY SHE ONLY ACTS STUPID, AND IS BRILLIANT.. I HAVENT SEEN ANY EVIDENCE OF IT...IF ASSHOLES HAD WINGS, SHE WOULD LIVE AT THE JUNEAU AIRPORT. SHE IS EVIL...CONDINING KILLING WOLVES AND OTHER ANIMALS FROM HELICOPTERS.....I THINK I MIGHT AGREE IF SHE HAD A REPUBLICAN HUNT...THEN I COULD SEE HUNTING WITH THE HELP OF A HELICOPTER.....

Ginger: Calms Nausea
HOW IT WORKS: Chinese medical texts dating back to the fourth century BC tout ginger’s antinausea properties, and modern clinical studies offer scientific proof that it works–a substance in ginger shuts down a nerve receptor in the body that triggers the vomiting reflex. TRY TO GET: Juice from 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger or 1/2 teaspoon dried ginger four times a day. USE IT: Add 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger and a few drops of toasted sesame oil to your usual tuna salad recipe for an Asian-style flavor.
Basil: Combats Colds
HOW IT WORKS: Basil is rich in antioxidants, which help boost immunity. It’s also an antimicrobial, which fights the germs that can cause colds. TRY TO GET: 1 to 2 tablespoons a day. USE IT: Toss 1 tablespoon chopped basil into a shrimp stir-fry during the last 3 to 5 minutes of cooking. Or slice strawberries, toss with honey, and set aside for 15 minutes until juicy. Then top with a few tablespoons of finely chopped basil.
Cinnamon: Fights Diabetes
HOW IT WORKS: People with type-2 diabetes have difficulty processing insulin, the hormone that tells cells to remove excess sugar from the bloodstream. But studies show that cinnamon contains a substance that can help cells respond to insulin. The result? A reduction of blood sugar levels by an average of 18 percent to 29 percent, according to a recent Pakistani study. TRY TO GET: 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon (or one stick) a day. USE IT: Mix 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon into 2 tablespoons peanut butter, and spread over apple slices.
Rosemary: Improves Memory
HOW IT WORKS: “There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance,” Ophelia said to Hamlet more than 400 years ago. Today, a variety of studies back up Ophelia’s claim. The ursolic acid in rosemary inhibits the breakdown of a neurotransmitter essential for memory. TRY TO GET: 1 to 2 teaspoons a day. USE IT: Make a rosemary-infused simple syrup by mixing 1 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, and 2 sprigs rosemary. Bring to a boil so sugar dissolves, and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Drizzle over a fall fruit salad of chopped apples, pears, and red grapes. Use 1 cup syrup to 4 cups fruit.
Garlic: Reduces Cholesterol
HOW IT WORKS: Although researchers disagree about how effective garlic really is at lowering cholesterol, a review of several studies conducted by the Linus Pauling Institute found that people who took garlic for three months had a 6 percent to 11 percent reduction in total cholesterol. Because garlic is an antioxidant, it may prevent the oxidation of cholesterol in the arteries. TRY TO GET: 3 to 5 crushed cloves a day. USE IT: Roast up to 5 garlic cloves, and add to homemade hummus before pureeing.
Nutmeg: Lowers Blood Pressure
HOW IT WORKS: “Warming spices” like nutmeg can bring blood from the center of the body to the skin. This helps disperse the blood more evenly throughout the body, reducing overall pressure. TRY TO GET: 1/2 to 1 teaspoon a day. USE IT: Steam 1 head of broccoli and one potato until soft, and then puree with 1/4 cup butter and 4 to 5 gratings of fresh nutmeg or 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
Cloves: Helps Arthritis Pain
HOW IT WORKS: According to Chinese medicine, cloves have hot and moving properties that relieve arthritis pain caused by cold and stagnation. Cloves contain a phytochemical that interrupts the pathways of a protein complex in the body that’s been linked to inflammatory diseases such as arthritis. TRY TO GET: 1/2 teaspoon a day. USE IT: Saute 1 cup fresh parsley (finely chopped), 1 clove garlic (crushed), 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon cloves in 1 tablespoon olive oil. After 3 minutes, add 4 cups shredded rhubarb chard, and fry until soft and tender, about 5 minutes. Serve hot with chicken or fish.
Turmeric: Curbs Inflammation
HOW IT WORKS: An ancient spice that gives curry its deep golden-orange color, turmeric reduces the inflammation in the body that causes pain. Curcumin, a component in turmeric, inhibits cell enzymes that contribute to inflammation. TRY TO GET: 1/2 to 1 teaspoon a day. USE IT: Add a dash to organic canned soups, such as tomato, lentil, or black bean varieties.
Thyme: Eases a Cough
HOW IT WORKS: Thyme is an antispasmodic, which helps with bouts of nonstop coughing. Thyme’s antiseptic properties also make it very effective against inflammation of the throat, which can cause coughing. TRY TO GET: 2 to 3 teaspoons a day. USE IT: For a simple vinaigrette, whisk together 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh thyme leaves with 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 3 tablespoons extra-virgin
i HAD MADE A HUGE AMOUNT OF BEEF PAPRIKASH YESTERDAY, FROM THE LEFT OVER 93% TASTLESS CHOP MEAT FROM THE "A & P".. tHE TRUTH, EVEN THE PAPRIKASH WASNT SO WONDERFUL...SO, WITH A LITTLE MAGIC, CONSISTING OF CATSUP, CRUSH TOMATOES, AND A LOT OF CHLLI POWDER AND A CAN OF BEANS, I TRANSFORMED THE HUNGARIAN DISH, INTO SOUTH OF THE BORDER CHILLI CON CARNE...AND IT BECAME DELICIOUS......NICE AND SPICY, WITH THE HINT OF ONIONS, RED AND GREEN PEPPER, HMMMMMM
OBAMAS SPEECH TO KIDS YESTERDAY WAS WONDERFUL...THE LYING REPUBLICANS JUST TRIED AS USUAL TO MAKE HIM LOOK BAD, AS HE IS TRYING TO BE EVERYONES PRESIDENT....THE SPEECH WAS ALMOST AN EXTENTION OF THE CONCEPT OF KENNEDYS LINE IN A SPEECH"ASK NOT WHAT THE COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU,BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY" sTAY IN SCHOOL, LEARN, AND BECOME SOMETHING.....AND BY DOING THAT YOU WILL MAKE AMERICA A BETTER PLACE. HE WAS NOT PUSHING SOCIALISM, COMMUNISM.. OR ANY AGENDA...BUT GOOD COMMON SENSE.
AND YOU KNOW, THEY CALLED ROOSEVELT A SOCIALIST. WELL, THAT GOD FOR SOCIAL SECURITY...WITH MY MONTHLY CHECK, I AM PAYING THE REDICULOUS HIGH TAXES ON MY LITTLE HOUSE, WITH WATER IN THE BASEMENT IN A FLOOD ZONE IN WAYNE.... and if Socialism is defined by taking care of people who cannot take care of them selves, well then folks, I guess I just might be a socialist!! Lets give medical care to those who cannot afford it...and put a roof over the heads of the homeless..NO ONE wants to be homeless..No one is that lazy..although they might be mentally ill. Just handing out money to anyone....is another thing. If people are able bodied, and can work, THEY SHOULD WORK. iF THERE ARE NO JOBS, THEN THE GOVERNMENT MIGHT COME IN AND CREATE JOBS... LIKE ROOSEVELT CREATED THE WORKS PROGRESS ACT.....BUILD, REPAIR,CLEAN..PLANT...BEAUTIFY.....
SOCIALISM IS NOT A DIRTY WORD...AND IT IS NOT THE SAME AS COMMUNISM....cOMMUNISM, THE GOVERNMENT OWNS ALL THE BUSINESSES...EVERYONE IS SUPPOSED TO BE EQUAL...LIVE IN COMMUNES...ETC.. NO, THAT RARELY WORKS AND I AM AGAISNT THAT, ALTHOUGHT, IT DID WORK SOMEWHAT IN CHINA, BRINGING THEM INTO THE 20TH CENTURY, AND NOW THEY ARE FLOURISHING.....ALMOST BETTER THAN WE ARE...BUT EVEN IN CHINA, AND THE FABULOUS NEW CITIES, THEY ARE PARTNERED WITH OTHER COUNTRIES IN BUSINESS...CAPITLISM IS MIXED WITH THEIR BRAND OF COMMUNISM.......i STILL WILL TAKE CAPITALISM, BUT WE NEED TO PUT RESTRAINTS ON HUGE CORPORATIONS WHO SCREW THE PEOPLE, JUST LIKE THE COMMUNISTS SCREW THEIR PEOPLE......
Ginger: Calms Nausea
HOW IT WORKS: Chinese medical texts dating back to the fourth century BC tout ginger’s antinausea properties, and modern clinical studies offer scientific proof that it works–a substance in ginger shuts down a nerve receptor in the body that triggers the vomiting reflex. TRY TO GET: Juice from 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger or 1/2 teaspoon dried ginger four times a day. USE IT: Add 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger and a few drops of toasted sesame oil to your usual tuna salad recipe for an Asian-style flavor.
Basil: Combats Colds
HOW IT WORKS: Basil is rich in antioxidants, which help boost immunity. It’s also an antimicrobial, which fights the germs that can cause colds. TRY TO GET: 1 to 2 tablespoons a day. USE IT: Toss 1 tablespoon chopped basil into a shrimp stir-fry during the last 3 to 5 minutes of cooking. Or slice strawberries, toss with honey, and set aside for 15 minutes until juicy. Then top with a few tablespoons of finely chopped basil.
Cinnamon: Fights Diabetes
HOW IT WORKS: People with type-2 diabetes have difficulty processing insulin, the hormone that tells cells to remove excess sugar from the bloodstream. But studies show that cinnamon contains a substance that can help cells respond to insulin. The result? A reduction of blood sugar levels by an average of 18 percent to 29 percent, according to a recent Pakistani study. TRY TO GET: 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon (or one stick) a day. USE IT: Mix 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon into 2 tablespoons peanut butter, and spread over apple slices.

Memory isnt that good, Japanese Photo Shoot, Great New stuff
There were a bunch of things I wanted to write abut but I can't remember them....but as usually hapens, they will pop into my head, when I least suspect it and when I am not thinking about it(what ever it is).....it started this morning when I went for gas, and couldnt remember my pin number for my DEBIT card...Juan was with me and he used his...and I was really upset... I think I typed in my pin number for my cell phone,,,,the red cell phone, the grey one has another pin number....
Juan says ti happens to him to, and I shouldnt get upset. And he is only 26 years old.....Then I started thinking, about things we have to remember.. Our social security number is very important...and that is tattooed in my brain. Then there is my Federal Tax number for the business...they call that the 22 number...(becuase they all started with the number 22. I never bothered learning that one. Then some people remember their bank account and checking account numbers. But we have 4 or five of them There is personal, personal combined with business...just business, a tax account and a PAY PAL ACCOUNT.
Then we have an account number for the Credit Card Consolidation . An account number for every credit card. Some people like to remember their drivers licesnse. And even some people like to remember their car and truck registration numbers...and I have 4 of them. There is an account number for both adresses for Optimum on line, for the Verizon Phone company, and the cell phone companies.... There is an account number for a few insurance policies....and so on. Is it me, or is there just too much shit we are expected to remember.....
Juan and I went down to a Wholesale in Western Jersey....or Southern Jersey.....almost a three hour ride....My butt was sore from riding.....whiel we were getting gas for the truck, I treated myself to two breakfast sandwhichs and a coffee....while still on RT 17...at an EXXON Gas station....I chose to pay over 20cents a gallon more for gas there...then wait on line at one of the Gas stations on the NJ Turnpike and possibly wait half an hour to get gas,....and get ripped of for 7.00dollars for a breakfast asandwhich and a coffee. The sandwhiches and coffee here was only about 3.00 and the time element was great...So in the long run, I didnt really spend anymore money....and the sandwhiches at both places had a lot in common. They were small and made of plastic. I really do not think the thing they called a scrambled egg, ever came out of a chickens ass.. The cheese, reminded me of a section of oil cloth we used to have as a tablecloth when we were growing up. The ham (if it was even meat) had not taste. There was no catsup on it....(should have taken some) and there was either butter or mayonaise on it...which was disgusting....but the coffee was really good.....
The weather was absolutely perfect for a ride...the sky was painted a blue, from an artists pallette, with a few dabs of zinc oxide white, schmeared to made clouds. Luckily there wasnt any traffice and we made very good time... It took almost 4 hours to spend an allotted amount of money.....and I didnt jump at stuff...I was careful, analytical to the sale-abilit y of the items I chose...Juan got a kick out of searching and looking......and helping make choices. He was good, in checking for quality control..he finds chips, cracks, missing pieces...etc, that I miss...
At the wholesalers, we went to the top floor. Suddenly I smelled a very disgusting oder....But wasnt sure what it was....Finally I checked the bottom of my shoes...and thre was cat kaka in both of them. This place has about 14 cats and kittens that leave presents all over. The husband, started yelling at the wife about her fucking cats....but since I am a animal lover, it really didnt bother me..She took my shoes and cleaned them...and I told her, not to worry, the same thing happens at Grannys when BUDDY gets out and leaves Roadside bombs for customers to step in....Some of them get very mad when that happens....I try to defuse it. I quickly send out one of the boys to buy them a LOTTERY TICKET....I give it to the person who was doody-ized and tell them, they say its good luck to step in shit...and if its true, here is a ticket to win a million dollars... It usually makes them smile..... unless they are hardcore animal haters and miserable bastards.
We stopped at a peach farm..on the way back..None of them were ripe..and I was pissed, becuase last time they were delivious and over ripe. We went into the building this time and I witnessed something (in the flesh) we only hear about. This huge building had various conveyor belts..some with boxes that were empty, another system of belts with boxes filled, and another one on the ceiling of boxes being brought in, that had to be opened and made into the box... The building inside and out were filled with MIGRANT workers.. Mexicans, Guatamalans, and Cambodians. They didnt look unhappy or down trodden, but it nevertheless, was sad to see them......I wonder if they wonder what they will do when the peach season is over......where will they go, how will they survive.... I bought a small box of nectarines...beautiful looking, but hard and not sweet.
We stopped on the way back to get gas, for we used up more than half of the tankfull. On the way out the restaurant.. and on the way back to the truck, I saw a busload of Japanese tourists.... Of course, everyone one of them had cameras hanging from they necks....and half of them were busy Clicking....photos of everything...and belive me, there was nothing in that parking lot,interesting to take photos of...NOTHING.. So I got an idea, that made me laugh out loud> I would go get Juan..and then ask one of them...to take my camera...and take pictures of Juan and Me with all of them Talking ,group shouts, with our arms around them..gathering them up, as if we were part of their ASIAN Family....and I would ask them, to take photos of us posing with their friends..... Juan laughed...but wouldnt do it...and I was ready to do it alone and then said screw it..But it would have been amusing...to be part of their group...and have photos to prove it.
Juan says ti happens to him to, and I shouldnt get upset. And he is only 26 years old.....Then I started thinking, about things we have to remember.. Our social security number is very important...and that is tattooed in my brain. Then there is my Federal Tax number for the business...they call that the 22 number...(becuase they all started with the number 22. I never bothered learning that one. Then some people remember their bank account and checking account numbers. But we have 4 or five of them There is personal, personal combined with business...just business, a tax account and a PAY PAL ACCOUNT.
Then we have an account number for the Credit Card Consolidation . An account number for every credit card. Some people like to remember their drivers licesnse. And even some people like to remember their car and truck registration numbers...and I have 4 of them. There is an account number for both adresses for Optimum on line, for the Verizon Phone company, and the cell phone companies.... There is an account number for a few insurance policies....and so on. Is it me, or is there just too much shit we are expected to remember.....
Juan and I went down to a Wholesale in Western Jersey....or Southern Jersey.....almost a three hour ride....My butt was sore from riding.....whiel we were getting gas for the truck, I treated myself to two breakfast sandwhichs and a coffee....while still on RT 17...at an EXXON Gas station....I chose to pay over 20cents a gallon more for gas there...then wait on line at one of the Gas stations on the NJ Turnpike and possibly wait half an hour to get gas,....and get ripped of for 7.00dollars for a breakfast asandwhich and a coffee. The sandwhiches and coffee here was only about 3.00 and the time element was great...So in the long run, I didnt really spend anymore money....and the sandwhiches at both places had a lot in common. They were small and made of plastic. I really do not think the thing they called a scrambled egg, ever came out of a chickens ass.. The cheese, reminded me of a section of oil cloth we used to have as a tablecloth when we were growing up. The ham (if it was even meat) had not taste. There was no catsup on it....(should have taken some) and there was either butter or mayonaise on it...which was disgusting....but the coffee was really good.....
The weather was absolutely perfect for a ride...the sky was painted a blue, from an artists pallette, with a few dabs of zinc oxide white, schmeared to made clouds. Luckily there wasnt any traffice and we made very good time... It took almost 4 hours to spend an allotted amount of money.....and I didnt jump at stuff...I was careful, analytical to the sale-abilit y of the items I chose...Juan got a kick out of searching and looking......and helping make choices. He was good, in checking for quality control..he finds chips, cracks, missing pieces...etc, that I miss...

6million dollar home,New recipes,$1250 Dust Pan
I did an appraisal tongiht in a 6 million dollar home...we had to drive thru the gates, which opened only after we were announced....The owners were getting a divorce, asfter at least 12 years of marriage....The place, no doubt was well appointed with new, Deisgner...name brand, fancy schmancy (and overpriced)...ala
the emperors new clothes....furnishings, by their decorator.
They wanted to get an idea of what to ask for these items at an estate sale....Some of the names of the deisgners were obscure to me....Because I never dealt with these brand before...But, it was definatley a learning situtation...Rose Tarlow, deisgned and made sofas,,,for the price I paid for my house...and her fabric was EXTRA ...and other names of people who deisgned mirrors,rugs,tables, consoles etc....The housea and contents were fabulous.. But 25,000 for a china cabinet, 14,000 for a bed, 40,000 for a chandlier, that came down from its two story handing place, by pushing a motor..and it slowly came down to let the owner clean it...
They paid 5000 to make a chair, fabric extra...and the 12 dining room chairs were 25,000, the table 10thousand, and that was a bargain for that one...The best bargain she got was a tapestry for 5000, that should have been ten..The woman was very attractive, full of life and very like able....BUt, with all this wealth, she was getting a divorce..and I guess not the happiest camper on the block... The longer I live and the older I get, the more I learn, that its not what you own, or how ealthy you are....If you are happy, you can live without a 40,000 dollar light fixture.....let the happiness inside make your life glow..and light your way.
Most of my recipes come about...by looking what is in the frigde...and the closet..and try to make something tasty out of them, with a minimum of work....You see, I admit I am lazy......and want to eat something quickly and without fuss.
Tinoght I raided the freezer...there was one loney filet of salmon, in a plastic bag, waiting to be released from its sub zero captivity. I put the bag and salmon into the micro wave for a minute, cutting off one corner of the bag for steam to escape. When slighly thawed, I removed the salmon, and put it in a pottery plate.
I took some dry dill, a little Golds white horseradish in a cup with I cant belive its not butter, a quirt or two of Worschester sauce, a hit of salt and black pepper..put it in the microwave for a minute and half..and let it set. Then pour the mixture over the samon to marinate for a few minutes.
Meanwhite, there was a box of Potatoe Buds...(Instand mashed potaotes) which can become delicious with the right preparation.....SO.....I chopped up half a lrge onion, put it in a bowl with I can belive its not Clorestrol, salt, pepper, worsterchire sauce and a teaspoon of curry powder and microwaved it for 2 min....enough to cook the curry but not burn the onions..
Then following the direction for making the INSTANT potaotes,...I just added this curry mixture at the end....while putting the fish that was soaking in dill and horseardish sauce in the microwave for 3 minutes more....
AND THAT WAS MY MEAL TONIGHT.. VERY DELICIOUS.......QUICK AND ALMOST HEALTHY.
YOU JUST MIGHT NOT BELVIE THIS: WE PUT ON EBAY...A BRASS ANTIQUE DUST PAN. NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT IT EXCEPT THAT IT WAS STAMPED BY ITS MAKER...AND THAT IT WAS MADE FOR A LIGHT HOUSE OFF STATEN ISLAND.....A VERY LONG TIME AGO. WE HAVE LEARNED THAT NAMES ON THINGS SELL THINGS ON EBAY.....I( STARTED THE BIDDING AT 45.00, i WAS THRILLED WHEN IT HIT 125.00 I WAS AMAZED WHEN IT HIT 400, MY EYES POPPED AT 500...AND THEN IT HIT 1025.00 omg!!!! AND WHEN IT FINALLY FINISHED. THIS DUSTPAN, SOLD FOR 1250. nOW WE HOPE THAT THIS MISHUGENAH WILL PAY.
