nOV 13--I HAVE BEEN NOT BLOGGING FOR A WHILE

2011-11-14T20:01:00.000-08:00

i HAVE BEEN VERY TIRED......LATE AT NIGHT WHEN i HAVE THE TIME TO WRITE....AND THE TIREDNESS PARTIALLY STEMS FROM FROM MY EYES, POSSIBLY THE GLACOMA....BUT HERE I AM, BACK WITH LOTS TO CATCH UP ON.....
I was supposed to return to TURKEy..Antalya, to visit my newly made friends....and even the fabulous Dolphins....but business didnt fill up the bank account enough to take off, and leave the store to fend for itself, although, the employees can handle it. And if Iwas there, I would have been there in time for a serious of Earthquakes...and Turkey call for help from the world.
Ordinarily, I woul dhave had many blogs on the Occupy Wall Street, The TEA PARTY, Herman CAIn and his scandels, Michelle Bachman and her nonsense, Rick Perry and his nonsense,,and all the rest of the Republican circus. But, somehow the vastness of their ineptness, overwhelmed me...and I will end this now, saying, its like having a dozen George Bushes runn for president...and to end tonights coment on politics...IS THIS REALLY THE BEST WE CAN DO?

i AM TRYING TO WERITE A SITUATION COMEDY...FOR TV. THE NAME OF IT "OMG"
iT WILL BE ABOUT a family of TELEVANGELISTS: Mommy looks and sounds like an aging DOLLY PARTON, with her own CHURCH, raising money for GOD, DADDY has his own CHURCH raising money for GOD,,,,,and GRANDPA.....a Pat Robinson look-alike_raising money for GOD...TWO SONS and a DAUGHTER who are a tri with GOLDEN VOICES, that sing at CHURCH, but the girl is a tramp, one boy is a "stoner" and the other a gay boy who often goes in DRAG.....the only Normal one is GRANDMA, who tells them all off that htye are a bunch of hypocrites .....but gently..and she brings order to the family.
MOMMY will be layed by KATY SEGAL, DADDY by JOHN LITHGO, Grandma Betty WHITE....the others I am still working on.....They drive to church in a beat up car, but drive around in a ROLLS, and various other expensive cars...they all are very naughty and silly.....It will be something like The 700 Club, meets the MUNSTERS at a drug induced orgy.....It will be hypocirital and rediculous.

EARTHQUAKE IN TURKEY- SHOOK ME UP-

2011-10-23T20:03:00.000-07:00

THIS SUMMER, I SPENT TWO WEEKS IN TURKEY.......STARTING OUT IN ISTANBUL.....I DROVE WITH FRIENDS from one end of turkey to the mediterraean sea....we traversed the Anatolian Mountains....We stopped in various towns, met the locals, and I made friends that are imbedded in my heart. The people are wonderful. They have nothing to do with politics...and their religious beliefs were not descriminating towards Christians and JEWS.....the people that I met were kind, loving, accepting, generous....The beauty of the country both visual and emotional....entered me, and became part of me, and this Quake was taken by me personally....as if, it was my home and the loss.. has shaken me up.
They are Moslems and I am JEWISH... No one over there cared at all about relgion when it comes to friendship. It is true, I didnt meet very religios people....some of them did keep dietary laws and ate HALAL meat and didnt eat pork..on the other hand, since it is a moslem country, they dont have pigs..so you cant buy it anyway..and I think that in TURKEY all butchers, since they are Moslem automatcially sell Halal meat..so it is no big deal...Dont thnk yo can buy anything but HALAL meat...which is almsot like KOSHER in the way the animal is slaughtered.....
I didnt hang out with any religous fundamentalists.....and I am sure they wouldtn have wanted to hang out with me, since I didnt adhere to their "mishagoss"(craziness) unless I would have been able to make them change some of their ideas....which I doubt...since fundamentalists are usually thoroughly brainwashed. It is very hard to change the mind of those who have been programmed in a belief system.....I am JEWISH, American.....but I do not think that I am brainwashed politically or religiously, because I really reject the way all religions thin k they are the only right one....which really means,,,they are all wrong.....All relgiions are preidicated on some person or persons, who perfromed some miracles, adn the story of their life...contains many messages of the way to live, what path to follow, and all the rules and regulation of diet,dress,morality, law, family matters, inlcuding marriage......and punishments on this plain, and the world to come......I called this the Gospel according to MISHA GOSS.
I reject it all. I reject all of it because rather than the peace and love it is supposed to adhere to...it really separates us all. It preaches that each religion is the best....and the only ture one...and if you do not belive in it..you are doomed to spend eternity in HELL, or in some horrible place, flaoting in a sea of shit up to your lower lips, eternally screamming...DONT MAKE WAVES>
So my nigtemares tonight, which have begun while I am still away, will be trying to escape from being buried in rubble or me trying to dig freinds out of the rubble....and watching people who are injured and bleeding and screaming for help...and although, I spent time in the South, where the earthwake didnt hit(yet)ot os a COUNTY that I know and can relate to. I related to ROMANIA, during their devastating Earthquake in the 1980s..I had been there a few years before....and saw Bucharest before it was leveled.....and I saw it again this summer, all rebuilt....and healthy again.
I never had been to Japan, and could only related to the JAPANESE people thru the TELEVISION, but if you read my blog....you will notice, I saw the tsunami and earthqualke in a dream a night or two before...It is right in my blog...yes, I aaw it and predicted it...and it is dated.....
I alsways used to predict Earthquakes...but this one in TURKEY I missed, or just couldnt remember any dreams that I had....or, because I am on TORSIDEMIDE, I get up ever hour or so to pee, and didnt get into REM sleep...the condition needed to dream.

Enough seriousness.....I will take up the lunatics in the REPUBLICAN circus in my next Blog...I will try to tear HERMAN CAIN a new asshole and become the Republicans own proctologist...pointing out how crazy most of them are...The only sane one might be MIT ROMNEY....but I couldnt warm up to him even if we were creamted together.....so I will leave that for another night,but now, I want to give you a few tasty recipes.....and healthy ones at that.

VEGETARIAN BOWL..: pREPARE MASHED POTATOES, AND MASHED BY HAND NOT IN A BLENDER..WHICH MAKES THEM INTO WALL PAPER PASTE. YOU CAN ALSO MAKE THE MASHED POTAOTES 50% MASHED TURNIPS FOR LOWER CALORIES AND LOWER CARBS. AT SOME BUTTER OR I CANT BELIVE ITS BUTTER...OR ANY LOW FAT NO TRANS FAT PRODUCT....ADD GROUND PEPPER AND SALT, AND A HINT OF GARLIC....
PLACE A CUP OF THAT MIXTURE IN A SOUP BOWL....SMAER THE TOP WITH LOW FAT SOUR CREAM..SPRINKLE WITH FRESH GROUND NUTMEG. COVER THAT WITH FRESH OR FROZEN STEAMD SPINACH, THAT YOU HAVE BUTTERED,ALLTED AND PEPPERED. dILL WOULD BE A NICE ADDITION TOO., ADD A LITTLE SOUR CREAM ON TOP OF THE SPINACH. SPRINKLE WITH DRY PARMIGIANA CHEESE, AND THEN COVER THAT WITH SHREDDED CHEESE THAT IS USED FOR MEXICAN TACSO...IT COMES IN VARIOUS TYPES... CHEDDAR, MONTERAY JACK, SWISS, ETCETC
WHEN ASSEMBLED....PLACE IN MICROWAVE UNTIL CHEESE MELTS.... THIS IS VERY SIMPLE AND HEALTHY AND VERY DELICIOUS.
tO MAKE THIS DISH NON-VEGETARIAN, YOU CAN ADD ANY CHOPPED UP MEATS:HAM, PORK, CHICKEN, TURKEY, BEEF (POT ROAST LEFTOVERS) LAMB, BACON......iTS FILLING AND NOT TO HIGH CALORIC.
tO MAKE IT ALMOST FOR THE aTKINS DIET, DO NOT USE POTOATOES....YOU CAN STEAM CAULIFLOWER AND THAT YOU CAN PUT IN THE BLENDER AND MAKE IT INTO A MASHED POTATOE CONSISTENCY....THEN ADD SPINACH...AND OTHER ITEMS......OR YOU CAN USE ALL TURNIP OR HALF TURNIP AND CAULIFLOWER.....ITS ALL GOOD.

tHE GREAT DISAPPOINMNET OF NOT GETTING THE HOLLYWOOD REALITY SHOW GIG.....IS OVER. NO DEPRESSION....but it owuld have been nice to be on television.....for a season or two. They sent their crew to NJ for me to audition....they saw me on my website...as the MAURY LISA (my face in the MONA LISA), my head inside a hippo, and me dressed as a witch, a hooker, and me and mini me....(I am holding a baby, whose face was replaced with mine.
I had a video conference..they liked me....and when they came to NJ, they urged me to be "over the top" and then I was told I went to far. I was very silly, respectful and I would have been great...but, although the producers liked me, the NETWORK itself, thought I was not right....well, If they wanted a boring MAURY, who would emulate the horrors who are on the Antique ROAD SHOW..that is not my style....
I gave them what they said they wanted...
So I wont earn 10 to 50,000 dollars a week. OH WELL. NOW I AHVE A LOT OF OTHER THINGS TO DO. Kepp my store growing and selling....and paying attention to the CIrcus of next years elections. I think that they need a proctologist to lead the next REPUBLICAN debate for the entiure crew are a bunch of sick assholes.
I cant belive that we had BUSH as president.....his excuse is that his DADDY arranged his election, but what is the excuse for all these clowns that are running now...THEY ARE ALL MENTALLY ILL.... THIS BLACK PIZZAMAKER, WHO IS SO IMPRESSED WITH HIMSELF..... he IS A WELL SPOKEN MORON.
cain suggest we build an electric fence that will kill all men women and children who attempt to come into the country. This future president(in his own mind)
would murder innocent peasant who only want to try to better their lives..They are not terrorists! CAIN, also said Jesus was killed by the liberals.......which is so untrue. Jesus was a loving liberal...trying to make things better for the masses... The ROMANS were the conserviatives far right of the day.....The people were the liberlas who were pro JESUS>
PERRY is more stupid that GEORGE BUSH......he is attached to both government and church(which I think is hypocritical) he is only using the religion card to get elected)
MICHELE BACHMAN, is another SARAH PALIN who is almsot as stupid as her.....and she thinks by appealing to the masses to repeal DOnt ASK DOnt tell will help get her elected...she needs to put down gay people, to help her campaign...and her GAY husband who was"cured" is at the cneter of a business that CURES gay people...THIS IS UNPROVEN AND SICK...
NEWT GINRICH IS A MEAN APIRITED TROLL, WHO LEFT HIS WIFE WHEN SHE WAS DYING OF CANCER...HE IS A FAR RIGHT....HE REMINDS ME OF ONE OF HITLERS BOYS. ROMNEY IS A UPBERICH MORMAN....WITH NO PERSONALITY...AND AGAIN...NO SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE....AND THE REST OF THEM....THEY ARE ALL STUPID, RELIGIOUS, OR REALLY UNQUALIFIED.ALL OF THEM ARE MEAN SPIRITED AND DO NOT REPRESENT A REAL AMERICAN....THAT IS WHY I AM STILL THINKING OF RUNNIG FOR PRESIDNET ON 'YOU TUBE"...JSUT TO GIVE MY OPINION ON HOW THINGS SHOULD BE RUN.....AND I STILL MIGHT DO IT.

nEW FAN CLUB, MANGO CILANTRO CHICKEN, POLICE OFFICERS FUNERAL

2011-09-24T07:06:00.000-07:00

This morning, I oened the kitchen door, that is on the HOHOKUS Brook....where all the animals in our menagarie hang out. There is a fleet of wild ducks, that we feed daily....a collection of chipmonks, crows, sparrows and other birds, including a vicious HAWK, who attack the 30 or so pidgeons that roost on a gas pipe.
We have moles and voles, tiny mice, countless squirrels....and once we found an albino ferret, which one of the boys took home.
This morning, when I opened the back door, that is overlooking the brook, the ducks were all in the water, reminding me of the collections of battleships that were in "mothballs" as the term was int he 1950's on the HUDSON RIVER...The instant they saw me, the quaking began, and they spread their wings and flew at me.....like fans converge on a rock star. Within seconds, there wre more than a dozen ducks at my feet, quaking for their daily ration of bread.....this time, their response to me was so instantaneous...I was shocked....They were my new fan club.
I saw movement in the trees....thinking birds were in the branches..but. the movement was caused by my chipmonks nibbling on seeds.....and they were barely hanging on the the tiny branches....which made me nervous that they might fall..and THEY CANT FLY!!!!AND THEY ARE THE CUTEST THING IN MY ANIMAL COLLECTION.
THE LATEST DRAMA WITH GOLDY THE COY, AND BROWNIE...THE COY....IS THAT THERE IS A LITTLE BROWN FISH FOLLOWING BROWNIE....AND TWO PEOPLE SAID THAT GOLDY......MIGHT HAVE AN IMPOSTER....GOLDY IS LARGE, BUT ONCE IN A WHILE, WE SEE A GOLD FISH...THAT SEEMS A LITTLE SHORTER AND THINNER....SO their might be 4 coy...and not 2 that we originally thought.
I LOVE TO COOK AND CREATE NEW DISHES......Here is one......I looked in the refrigerator....and the cabinets in the store...I put al the ingredients that I could find and created the following:

Took boiled chicken.....and then sauteed it in olive oil, garlice, and chopped onions.Then I added a shot of Worstershire sauce...and half a bunch of cilantro(well washed....Then a container of MANGO Nectar....cooked it down, added salt and pepper and thickend with flours.....at the end A table spoon of apple cider vinegar...
If i had, had it, I would have added chucnks of over ripe mangoes...but it was good without it.. Served it over rice...and WOW! Orgasmic. I will try this with shrimp,fish and beef.

Yesterday we went to the auction in PENN, where we dropped off the 5th truck load of things we want to go awa and make room on the third floor....I am getting thoroly screwed there....but we get a few dollars, and able to bid on some better things that they have consigned...We did buy a nice table and mirror there...which we sold already, which mde up a lit tle for our losses. Also in that area of the world, we go to a wholesale, where we buy nice things....if we didnt go for auction business, the entire expense of the trip would be borne on the cost of the reproductions, but now, I consered the expenses..gas....tolls, shared. We also had a house call on exit 8 of the turnpike...which proved very good...So besides the horrible rain yesterday, which slowed down driving time.....50 mph rather than 65 or 70......we had a nice trip.
InDelaware....we encountered a strage event, and took a few hours for us to find out what happened. Near the Delaware MEMORIAL BRIDGE a few exits were shut by the state police...and when we looked up on ramps, and down on highwys there were cop cars as far as the eyes could see..all with their lights flashing. Must have seen 1000 cop cars. We thought some drastic event had taken place. MAYBE the president was assassinated, maybe bombs went off in Washington...

Goldy HAs a Boy Friend"BROWNIE", Poem from TURKISH TRIP

2011-09-14T18:31:00.000-07:00

A week or two before the emergence of GOLDY, there was this large dark colored fish swimming around the brook. HIs fins, stuck out of the water, and we really never saw all of him...only the top of the fins, emerging out of the water.. He would come and go,...but.....we had never seen even what kind of fish he was.....I thought maybe a bass, others thought maybe a large trout...and then, he disappeared, and GOLDY made his appearance.
I thought that he was either caught, or permanently swam downstream.....never to find his way back, to join the ducks, chipmunks, squirrels,an assortment of birds, eels and other wild life.........but today, Miss Dotty, a friend of mine from childhood, retired teacher, who spends a lot of time feeding the animals outside told me a scene out of a Disney movie...that took place, outside the kitchen door, and ten feet down the bak, in the brook.
GOLDY appeared after a day missing......follow by the fleet of ducks. The here comes the dark colored fish, but now, in the light, we could see that he is also a carp or coi, and only reflected a few spots of yellowish golden color. He was swimming around GOLDY...who now I think is female. It was like a mating ritual.....and during this ritual, the Ducks were quacking, as if they were excited watching some x rated porn.
But now, the stunning news. Two eels, wiggled their way out from under the rocks, very close to the mating fish....The eels were almost upright in the water, with their tail below the rocks..and their bodies were undulating...in the water. It was almost a living cartoon.....Ester Williams of the fish world were performing....If only DOtty had a video camera.....and save this for posterity.
The squirrels were running up and down the tree, and 4 chipmunks were running around the table were dotty feeds them and the ducks. THIS REALLY COULD BE A CARTOON> OR A KIDDY BOOK.

THE FOLLOWING IS SORT OF A POEM, TELLING OF EXPERIENCE IN A GAS STATION IN TURKEY
three dogs at a gasoline station
in the Carpthian mountains
homeless, tired and hungry
one with a brokenand healed back leg
one with a broken & bent front paw
the third, sweet and scared
all gentle beings
persecuted by an unjust universe

I had nothing but sympathy to give
plus each got a meager portion of
cakes that I purchasedat the station

They were gentle as I fed them.
But the world came down upon me
kicked me in the stomach
when I saw the dog with the broken paw
lick my hand

ALl the sadness of my entgiure life
welled up at once and I cried,

I cried for all the dogs and animals of the world
that I cant save them
I cant save all the starving and abused children
and countries with populations abused by tghose in power
I also cannot walk on water
except in my dreams
I can save the ones drowning
when i hear them scream
But my message here
at least buy a little piece of cake
do your part
ease your heart by knowing you didn't turn your back
up what ever it is that saddens you
or makes you angry
ANd let this messgae be known
to all that passes your way
THe smallest gesture
helps
The smallest help is appreciated.....
as seen, when I petted each of the many dogs I saw today
all over Romania.....even those
who didn't get a small pieceof cake.

TODAY IN THE STORE......THE BOYS WERENT HERE..WENT TO BUY A CAR OUT OF STATE, AND JOHN, CAME BACK FROM HIS VACATION IN ALABAMA, BUT HAD GOTTEN EITHER FOOD POISONING OR SOME KIND OF VIRUS AND IS GOING TO THE DRS IN THE MORNING..... RICH HELD DOWN THE FORT TODAY, AND WENT TO SOUTH ORANGE AND BOUGHT OUT A HOUSE, AND PACKED IT ALL HIMSELF....WHAT A TROOPER!!! HE EMAILED ME PHOTOS AND HE BROPUGHT BACK SOME REALLY AWESOME STUFF....

THE STORE IS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER,...WE ARE THINING OUT THE BLAH MERCHANDISE...AND REPLACING THEM WITH BETTER AND MORE SELLABLE.....

mY FRIEND ALBERT, WHO JUST MIGHT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ENTIRE ANTQIUE CAREER, CAME TO VISIT ME TODAY FROM VENEZUELA.....WE HAVE A VERY UNUSUAL RELATIONSHIP......BASED ON TELLING STORIES AND SEVERE LAUGHTHER....HIS LAUGHTER IS SO INFECTIOUS, THAT ONE ALMOST NEEDS TO CARRY MEDICATION TO MEET WITH HIM....AND HE USED TO HAVE A GIANT PARROT-A MACAW....A MAN EATER...THAT WOUULD ATTACK ANYONE AND EVERYONE EXCEPT HIM....BUT... THE PARROT.... WAS ABLE TO IMITATE ALBERTS LAUGH EXACTLY....AND IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL IF IT WAS ALBERT OR THE PARROT..
ALBERT WAS A CLOCK COLELCTOR...WHO TOOK ME AT AGE 21 TO AN ANTIQUE SOTRE TO PPICK UP A CLOCK......BUT I GOT HOOKED IMMEDIATELY AND BOUGHT A MARBLE TOP CARVED VICTORIAN DRESSER AND MIRROR FOR 25.00...AND THAT IS HOW IT STARTED.
WE WENT TO THE DINER....AND TOLD STORIES, AND PEOPLE KEPT STARING AT US, BECUASE WE COULDNT STOP LAUGHING....NOTHING CHANGED IN 46 YEARS.....:)

SAGA OF "GOLDY THE GOLDFISH:", MISS UNIVERSE&BIG NOSES

2011-09-12T18:16:00.001-07:00

When I was a young boy, I lived in close proximity to both the Passaic River and the adjacent Dundee canal. Back then, the waters were always murky and polluted, but never the less, I went fishing almost every day, either alone, or with my friend Jimmy, whose parents owned the grocery store around the corner, where they butchered meat, sold cigarettes and filled ice cream cones with delicious ice cream for 5 cents for one scoop or 7 Cents for a double dipper...and chocolate sprinkles were a penny more.
Jimmy and his parents lived in back of the store in a tiny 4 room apartment, much more cramped than the 5 room house we lived in around the corner..... Jimmy was Catholic, I was Jewish...and we were both Hungarian......
After school, on weekends, and in the summer, we would get our fishing gear together, find some bait, either soft while bread, or juicy worms......and head down to the canal, which was only a block from both our houses....the river, however, was much further away, where the banks weren't too steep to descend.
The canal hosted a variety of fish: Sunfish, shiners...long and silvery, catfish with whiskers that reminded me of my Great Aunt PAula, eels, carp, and an occasional GOLD FISH, which was a golden carp., We would find snapping turtles, and regular turtles, and frogs.....and every once and a rare while, one might even find a bass.
I liked going fishing....and I always hoped I would catch something, especially when I was with JIMMY, as if was a completive sport...But I never really liked taking the fish off the hook, which I did......and I would throw the fish back into the water. While disengaging the hook from the captive fishes mouth, I looking into its eyes and saw the fear, the horror, the pain, and the pleading to let him go and live. Their lips always quivered, as they gasped for breath. I would throw them back in, never dreamed of eating them, and always felt a little guilty for making them experience pain and fear.
But I always wanted to catch a GOLDY... A golden carp. They were very rare.....but once in a while, someone would catch one......and always threw them back. Sometimes old Italian men, and black men would go fishing down at the river and bring their catch home to eat. They told me, they put them live in the bath tub for a few days, to get the poisons out of them.... all well and good, but then these men, didn't take a bath for a few days....and you know how they smelled, worse than the fish.
Yes I always wanted to catch a golden carp.....but always was happy that I didn't, because they were so mystical to me, I was scared to death of hurting them, as if I was putting a hook into some spiritual being, like an angel or a good spirit, and I certainly wouldn't want to have harmed them. I suffered from good home grown JEWISH guilt.We went fishing up to the 6th grade.....in the 7th grade, our school Public School #7, which is now leveled and replaced by a small park, was turned into a Middle School. Things changed, Jimmy and some of my other friends now was aware of the difference between Catholic and JEWS. Suddenly my best friend told me his parents said don't hang out with JEWS, they killed JESUS. Then the hurtful words of dirty JEW was added to Jimmy's vocabulary...and coming from your best friend. Really hurt.. There was no one to go fishing with anymore.....and I started outgrowing the need to go fishing...... and I gave up my youthful fishing career without ever catching the elusive Golden Carp. And Now, 5 decades later, I am very thankful that I never did catch one....which brings me to the story I am about to tell.
I am now the owner of a huge antique store in HOHOKUS NJ, on the HOHOKUS BROOK. At low tide, the brook, which is only about ten feet from my store, and maybe 14 feet below it.....is a stone lined gully, with water slowly trickling down....somewhat like a trout stream. But when there is a torrential rain, and snow melting up in the mountains, it becomes a vicious torrent, white capping over the rocks, like a mini Colorado river. It flows with such intensity, that it makes our building vibrate... The water comes up almost over the banks, and at that time, must be 14 feet or more.
We sit out side the store, and enjoy the scenery.... We have lots of squirrels , chipmunks, a fleet of ducks, moles, voles, sparrows come to visit......We throw bread, corn, and crackers to all the animals and enjoy the communing with nature.. A few weeks ago, I looked into the water, and saw something GOLDEN GLIMMERING..... I tried to focus my eyes. It was a GOLDEN CARP. A JAPANESE COY! But this was impossible, They do not inhabit fast flowing streams... But there it was....We threw bread to Goldy, it came checked it out, but refused it... We figured that someone threw their pet into the stream because they were moving and didn't just want to leave it to die in a pond without food.
We thought it wouldn't live a week. What would it eat? and this GOLDEN CARP was about 14 inches..maybe more.....day after day passed, and he was around every day..... The water often took him with the current that he couldn't fight the force..... Very often when the ducks weren't around, neither was GOLDY...Then the ducks would show up, GOLDY would follow. Goldy would swim right beneath them, and he didn't both them nor the ducks bother GOLDY. I watch GoLDY come and go for about three weeks...It was a mystical experience , seeing him glimmer for a distance. His tail gracefully swaying as he swam..but then there was the horrific news that HURRICAN IRENE was on her way, with 12 inches of rain promised...which meant the brook would rise, to 14 feet, and the force of the water, would sweep GOLDY downstream, maybe crush him on the rocks, disturb whatever food source he had....and remove this mystical creature from the HOHOKUS brook and my life.. The Saturday when Irene started, as the drizzle commenced, I looked out into the stream, and GOLDY was there. I said goodbye and felt a deep sense of sadness. I closed the door, and never expected to see him again.
The storm came, The brook overflowed its banks.For three says after the storm the water was very high, and muddy.... but when the water cleared......there was GOLDY, How he survived I have no idea.I cannot express the joy I felt seeing him again......and tonight, we are having another storm, the river is raging again, and I hope Goldy will be there again, to renew my hope in the goodness of the universe.

a WEEK PAST SINCE I SAW GOLDY.....THERE WAS EVEN A FISHERMAN ON THE BANKS OF THE BROOK..AND HE DISAPPEARED AND I WAS AFRAID HE CAUGHT GOLDY.....BUT THIS MORNING,, AFTER A LONG TIME, THE WATER SLOWED DOWN.....AND THE WATER BECAME CLEAR....AND THE SUN SHONE ON THE RIGHT ANGLE TO PIECE THE WARE AND EVEN ILLUMINATE THE ROCKS BENEATH...AND THIS MORNING, THE LIGHT OF THE SUN, SHONE BRIGHTLY AND THERE WAS GOLDY.....STILL ALIVE AND SWIMMING AGAINST THE THE STRONG FLOW OF THE BROOK. MY HEART WAS FILLED WITH JOY....THE MYSTICAL FISH RETURNED.

WHILE I AM BLOGGING, I AM ALSO WATCHING THE MISS UNIVERSE CONTEST...WHICH IS ALWAYS A HOOT TO ME. I CANNOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.... ALL OF THESE WOMEN, FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, LOOK ALIKE. THEY ARE LIVING BARBIE DOLLS. ALL HHAVE THE SAME HAIR CUT....THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME CAPS ON THEIR TEETH.....THEY DRESS THEM ALIKE...... AND WHILE THE DIFFERENCE MIGHT BE SLIGHT, LIKE HAIR COLOR OR EYE SHAPE.....THEY ARE ALL COOKIE CUTTER STAMPED OUT CREATURES OF THE FEMALE GENDER.
NOW, I DONT KNOW IF IT IS SOME KIND OF CO0INCIDENCE...BUT ALL OF THEM SEE TO HAVE VERY LARGE NOSES.....I WONDER IF IT WAS THE LOW CAMERA ANGLE.....BUT ALL OF THEM SEEMED TO HAVE HUGE PROBOSCIS....,,,NOW THEY JUST SHOW THE TOP 16 OF THE naTIONAL cOSTUMES.....THESE WERE NOT NATIONAL COSTUMES, BUT COSTUMES WITH THE "FLAVOR" OF THE COUNTRY....THEY ALL LOOKED LIKE SOME very bazaar Drag Queen from another planet. The MISS Universe Contest is all so silly,political, and phony.....but yet, its fun...I cannot take it seriously...how can they say, that one girl is the most beautiful girl in the UNIVERSE.....

I AM BACK....LOST MY PASSWORDS TO GET INTO THIS BLOG

YESTERDAY.......A CREW FROM HOLLYWOOD came to my store o interview me for a part on a TV program.......a reality show, dealing with antiques. I first had a video conference interview...and they like the results.....yesterday, they made an one hour video of me...First giving a tour of the store, then a personal interview....and finally, a scripted negotiation...for me to buy an antique from a potential seller.
It seemed to go well. If I get the job, they said I had to fly to HOLLYWOOD for three weeks...to make the show for the season.....They first saw me in drag as the MONA LISA, then as a with with a pointed hat, then as a money and finally me and mini me...holding a baby..with my bearded face.
For those of you who had followed my blog....there is a lot to catch up on, as I havent been back here since NOVEMBER and my last trip to HUNGARY. This last trip was to TURKEY....by way of all the mountains..from Translyvania,(the Carpathians, The BALKANS (Bulgaria) and then on to the Anatolian MTS in TURKEY....ending a 5 day drive thru the mountains, eventually ending up at the Mederanian Sea....The most beautiful place on earth....ANTALIA....
I will finsih this now....with a reminder..to come back and I will try to post photos, of the trip and the DOLPHINS who are used for theraphy for autistic kids,..recipies......and stories, poems...etc

lAST NIGHT WE WENT INTO TOWN...FOR DINNER....BUT A GIGANTIC POLIC PRESENSE, ALONG WITH AMBULANCES, POLICE DOGS, TANKS, RIOT GEAR...GAVE OUR BEHINDS A BAD SQUINCHING, AND WE WENT TO A DOWNTOWN MALL INSTEAD....IT TURNS OUT, THAT THERE WAS NO REVOLUTION IN PROGRESS, BUT THE POLICE WERE CALLED OUT TO PROTECT THE GAY HUNGARIANS...WHO WERE HAVING THEIR ANNUAL GAY PRIDE PARADE.....OVER 1000 NEO NAZI, SCREAMING THROW THE FAGS INTO THE RIVER AND THEN THE JEWS) WER SEPARATED BY A WALL OF RIOT GEAR POLICE MEN.....THE NAZIS ARE A LIVE AND WELL IN HUNGARY, BUT THE GOVERNMENT IS OUT TO PROTECT THE INNOCENTS. THE CHURCH, DOES AD DFUEL TO THE FIRE WITH THEIR CONDEMNATION, WHILE THE PRIESTS FEED ALTER BOYS STUFFED CABBAGE AND THEN MOLEST THEM....hmmm I AM JOKING......

.THEY DONT GIVE THEM STUFFED CABBAGE
TODAY, as my freind Susan studied for her exam tomorrow for her MAsters Degree...Frank and I and her boy DONNY, went on a trip into the mountain...to a town, that has been restored to its original look in the 16 and 1700;s The roads in the town, are like the Roman Appian way, paved with stones...and all the buildings have been restored....wood with plaster(stucco) white walls. The name of this town HOLLOKO,,which means RAVEN STONE....named after the Castle, whose reamains adorn the top of the mountain...and is being restored. Originall, the castle was built in the 12th Century.....and below, the town evolved. We went to one restuarant, whose menu was more gourmet than most gourmet American Restuarants....and the prices were more like MC DONALDS. We only had a "pot" of soup...a traditional food of that town...Made of pork, pork broth, pieces of very tasty pork, sour cream, paprika,onion..and spices...served with REAL thick rye bread....all for under 500......it was a meal in a pot they had wild roast boar, in many different styles all under 9.00,Hungary boastgs many restuarants whose owners go into the bushes and kill these hairy, dangerous tusked wild boars,......and although not KOSHER.who cares.
I had 5 hours of layover.due to bad wearther...and people not showing up for their flight, and their luggage has to be removed from the plane before we took off.....just incase they put a bomb in it....which took an hour or more, while sitting in a hot plane of the tarmac.
Luckily I met two interesting guys,also waiting for their flights to GERMANY.....many hours late due to huge thunder storms....in the Eastern USA.....Of of them seemed like a typical Republican , corporate man.....28..works for a fiber optic company...and has been all over the world....he was on his way to DUBAI, but has been all over the world in places, I might not feel safe.....He was drinking wine spritzers for hours, but his political views were quite different than I expected. We both thought alike!!! The another man, also in his 20;s who lives and eaches in NEBRASKA...was on his way to Lebanon to see his family. Although a MUSLIM,and eats HALAL...he is still seemingly a very moderns man, and is not Anti JEWISH,anti American.. He like me and other who think as I do, are anti war....(for no real reason) and we do noot belive the lies of the media...that we are forced fed upon. I then read him a buinch of my poems...and many of them were ro everyone...and included the MUSLIMS...into society,and didnt put them down in any way...While a mentioned that any fundamentalist...of any religion...were bad. ANd That muslims are being scapegoated now, as the JEWS were in the Hitler era...BUSH learned a lot from Hitelrs tactics. We dicussed Isreal, Lebanon, Syrian, the HALLOCAUST, Bin Laden.....etc etc, and we were both on the same page. He said he flies often, but rarely talks to people int the air port..Becuase he is a muslim...he doenst want to get into heavy conversations..where he has to defend his people and his belifes...but vgery quickly, he saw he wouldnt have to engaged in apologetics. It was an amazing few hours....and wish he lived in the metro area, because we were instant freinds.
THE FOOD ON LUFTHANSA USED TO BE GOOD. NOW IT IS ON THE PAR OF FRZEN "BANQUET" BRAND DINNERS. FEH.....tHE MUNICH AIRPORT IS ABOUT 8 TIMES THE SIZE IT WAS IN THE EARLY NINETIES.....I COLD HAVE GOTTEN LOST.....BUT i DIDNT. IT WAS LIKE GOING TO A LARGE BERGEN COUNTY SHOPPING MALL, WHERE THE PARKING LOTS HAS BEEN REPLACED BY PLANES TO ALL OVER THE WORLD......
i STILL HAVE JET LAG, AND MY EYES ARE CLOUDY AND TIRED....TOMORROW WE LEAVE FOR TURKEY, A 4 DAY TRIP THRU HUNGARY,ROMANIA,BULGARIA, AND THEN TURKEY.....FIRST TO ISTANBUL TO SHOP AT THE BIG BAAZZAR, THEN ON TO ANTALYA, THE TURKISH RIVEREA ON THE MEDITERRANEAN....WHERE SUSANS SON WILL TAKE THERAPHY WITH THE DOLPHINS...CHECK "YOU TUBE" FOR DOLPHIN THERAPY" SHE HOW THESE MAGINIFICENT ANIMALS HELP CHILDREN AWAKE THEIRBRAIN TO THEIR POTENTIAL...HE HAS A UNDIAGNOSED PROBLEM......THAT HTYE THINK MIGHT BE HELPED BY THE DOLPHINS......YOU CAN ALSO GOOGLE DOLPHIN THERAPY AND FIND OUT MORE ABOUT IT.THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH THAT PROVES IT WORKS....BUT SEEING IS BELIEIVNG.....IT HELPS!!

ONE LAST COMMENT FOR TODAY......THE FOOD COURT AT THE "WEST END" MALL IN BUDAPEST...(YES...ITS SPELLED IN ENGLISH" HAS AN INCCREDIBLE SELECTION OF FRESH FOOD....BETTER THAN MOST GOURMET RESTARUANTS...AND I WILL TRY TO CREAT MANY OF THESE DELICACIES WHEN I GET HOME.i FORGOT MY CAMERA,OTHER WISE, THERE WOULD BE PIX NOW TO MAKE YOU DROOL

today is the first day of FALL. Its cool....need a jacket already. The leaves are starting to go thru their scheduled art work....the golds,reds,orange and yellows are starting to appear....and the ground is already starting to be covered with theri art work, mostly in browns......The leaves bring on the molds...and manypeople are having allergy attacts. (I jsut sneezed-too bad no sound here to be creative) sneezed again...
TODAY is MONDAY....it was very very quiet in the story...only a small handful of people came in all day. One lady, wanted a $50.00 bookcase.....I was kind and apologized for not having one.....I dont think Salvation Army would have one that cheap...but I was kind. Maybe she was poor. I hope she can pay the car payment on her BENTLEY!
A number of pople who promised to come back today to buy things..never showed up of course. THey probably had to go to SA meeting(shoppers anonymous) or to their
AMFOSS meeting (American full of shit society) which most of them are charter members. We rushed to restore a desk for a guy, who was only here 4 times....today would have been the 5th, had he showed up. He was supposed to come and pay for a piece of furniture.....
We got a few calls to buy things, but none of them were very exciting.....I called the producer in HOLLYWOOD to see if there was still any chance of me getting the job on the TV program..She said the produce who did my audition wanted me, but possibly the network didnt? She didnt know and said whe would call. THis is the woman who found me on the internet and arranged the audition.
I certainly hope the FAT TUB OF LARD we call govenor downt run for presdient..I dont knwo what I would do if he won. I think I would have to move to another country.....I couldnt call that piece of crap my PRESIDENT....I still havent gotten over the BUSH adminsitration.....I think of them and puke.....what they did to MY COUNTRY>

laDY FAINTS IN THE STORE TODAY,,,ENTERMANS CAKES-

2011-05-15T19:09:00.000-07:00

tHE DAY STARTED OUT GREAT....IMMEDIATE LARGE SALE, AND PLENTY OF BROWSERS......LAUGHS AND SALES. LATER IN THE AFTERNOON, A COUPLE CAME IN TO SELL ME SOME TINGS......THEY OPENED UP THEIR BOXES OF THINGS, WHILE i WENT UPSTAIRS TO SELL A FAMILY SOME CHAIRS. i DONT THINK I WAS UPSTAIRS MORE THAN 5 MINUTES....i RETUNED TO FIND THE WOMAN LAYING ON THE FLOOR, AND TWO POLICEMENT OVER HER, ADMINSITERING OXYGEN.
tHE VISUAL OF SEEING A LADY, LOOKING DEAD, WITH TWO POLICEMENT OVER HER...ONLY A FEW MINUTES AFTER I WENT UPSTAIRS CAUSED ME TO FEEL LIKE SOMEONE KICKED ME IN THE STOMACH.. I TOOK A TRANQUELIZER...SOON AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL TEAM ARRIVED......FOLLOWED BY AN AMBULANCE.. tHERE WAS A dR IN THE STORE AT THE TIME, WHO WAS HANGING AROUND FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS.....WHEN HE WAS UNCONSCIOUS....HE HAD HER HUSBAND LAY HER BACK AND RAISE HER LEGS, WHICH HELPED THE BLOOD RUSH BACK INTO HER HEAD, AND SHE REGAINED CONSCIOUSNESS.....THEN THE OXYGEN BROUGHT HER BACK FURTHER.....TONIGHT I GOT AN EMAIL FROM HER AND SHE IS OK...... she had taken a perquesett, didnt eat, and other behavioral problems led to the episode.

The business for the day was good....and I felt uplifted, even thought the almost tradgedy......I for got to mention that the DR....said that she had NO PULSE...John thought she was dead, and that is why he called 011!!!.....near the end of the day, a woman came in looking for a bed....I woo her up in the elevator, heading for floor three...when we head a crunch...and the elevator came to a jolting halt. WE WERE STUCK. i ALWAYS WONDERED HOW i WOULD RESPOND IF I EVER GOT STUCK IN AN ELEVATOR. I THOUGHT I WOULD PANIC, OR AT LEAST HAVE AN IMMEDIATE COLITIS ATTIC. I DIDNT. I GUESS IT WAS LUCKY, THAT I HAD TAKEN AN ANTI ANXIETY PILL SOME TIME BEFORE GETTING STUCK. WITHIN 5 MINUTES ONE OF THE BOYS FIURED OUT HOW TO GET US OUT OF THERE.....BY FORCING THE DOOR OPEN.....WHICH WORKED. LUCKILY, THE WOMAN WASNT WORRIED EITHER, I EXPLAIND THIS HAD HAPPEND TWICE BEFORE IN 9 YEARS...AND THE ELEVATOR IS HYDROLIC, AND CANNOT FALL.....AND THAT THE WORSET SENARIO WOUO DBE TO CALL THE FIRE DEPRATMENT, WHO HAS A SPECIAL KEY TOP OPEN THE DOOR......AND THE MOST WE WOULD BE STUCK WAS 15 MIN...ALTHOUGH, THEY SEND A FIRE TRUCK WITH 14 MEN WITH AXES, AND ENOUGH EQUIPMENT TO PUT OUT A FIRE A BLOCK LONG.

TONIGHT AT THE STOP AND SHOP, THEY HAD A SALE ON ENTTEMEN CAKES.....SO TONIGHT, AS i CUT A PIECE OF NON SIET CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE CAKE....AND SIPPING BUSTELLO COFFEE, i STARTED READING THE INGREDIENTS.....THERE WAS NOTHIG BUT THE WORD FLOUR THAT SEEMED FAMILIAR......IT LOOKED LIKE THE INGREDIENTS OF SOPHISTICATED LAB EXPERIMENT IN CHEMSITRY CLASS...NONE OF IT SOUNDED LIKE FOOD, OR ANYTHING EDIBLE. VERY SCARY.....ONE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH ICING WOULD CONTAIN FLOUR, EGGS, SALT,MILK, BAKING POWDER, COCOA, SUGAR, VANILLA......NOT A LIST OF CEHMICALS WITH LATIN SOUNDING NAMES, AND WORDS LIKE XANTIUM GUM, AND OTHER SCARY WORDS THAT SOUND LIKE POISON.... BUT WHEN YOU READ MOST FOOD LABELS, THIS IS WHAT WE ALL FIND. CHEMICALS....AND WE WONDER WHY EVERYONE GETS CANCER....... yet they spend billions of dollars on research for cancer...rather than stopping the infusion of poisons into our bodies.......THERE IS A REASON TO BUY NATURAL FOODS AND ORGANICS FOODS......

I HAVE NOT BLOGGED IN QUITE A WHILE

2011-05-13T21:07:00.001-07:00

There are times in ones life, when you just want to stop everything......even the most pleasant things, routine things,....just to rest, and break the monotony of patterns that we set up for ourselves.
THE PST MONTH I WAS UNDER A LOT OF STRESS.....business was and still is in the toilet, and my sense of humor, my sense of the bazaar, was put into the freezer. I stopped reading the news,...and i was on a diet to loose weight...which i did, and in celebration of looing weight, i started going out to eat!!!!!1
There were many things that i wanted to blog about...but, just didnt have the energy when i got home late a night. But tonight, I just couldnt resist commenting on the porn stash that they found in BIN LADENS HOME.....Well he is....well WAS, only human.....even relgious psychotic murderers get horney and want to watch some porn.
Even though he has three wives, i guess they couldnt satisfy him. I wonder if these wives were fat and ugly, with a mustache? He could ahve ahd the best that money could buy,...or maybe the porn was of a kinky nature,which he couldnt let be known to his wives.....MAybe he was into leather, or speedos, or rubber suits....Maybe he liked to seewomen dressed up as little girls in PArochial School costumes, or maybe he liked little boys?
There were other people living in his home...and maybe it belonged to someone else...althugh, he was the GRAND POOBAH, the MAster of the house...the TOP CHEESE, and you would think he would know everything that went on in their...considering his paranoia of being in hiding....so, therefore, I say the porn was his. UNLESS, in the wisdom of the CIA, or whoever s handling this situation.....HOMELAND SECURITY...they came up with this porn "stchick" to make him look bad in the eyes of the other devout MUSLIMS, who might reject his principles if he was a sinner and porn purveyor.But in reality he was a man...still young enough to take his problem in HAND...and watch porn. WHY NOT!

LATEST POEM:
WHEN THE DUST FINALLY SETTLES
WHEN HUMANS NO LONGER WALK THE EARTH
WHEN EXTINCTION OF ALL ANIMAL SPECIES HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED
BY NATURE OR HUMAN SELFISHNESS
A QUIET WILL FALL UPON THE LAND
NO HEART BEATS WILL BE HEARD
NO EYES LEFT TO APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY OF THE LANDCAPES THAT NOW WILL SLOWLY HEAL
THE PLANTS WILL RETAKE THEIR ORIGINAL TERRITORY
EVENTUALLY COVERING UP ANY EVIDENCE MANS BRIEF TIME ON EARTH

ALL THE WARS FROM THE BEGINING OF TIME
WERE FOUGHT IN VAIN
ALL THE QUESTS OF RELIGON AND POLITICS
WERE ALL FOR NAUGHT

ALLTHE BOOKS THAT WERE WRITTEN AND ACCUMULATON OF KNOWLEDGE
ARE NOW UNIMPORTANT.
THERE WILL BE NO ONE LEFT TO READ MY POETRY
THEN BOOKS LIKE THE PEOPLE WILL TURN TO DUST

THE ONLY EVIDENCE OF OUR EXISTENCE WILL BE
A LONE FLAG, ON A THIN POLE, STICKING INTO THE MOON.

MOTHERS DAY POEM:
IF 1-800 FLOWERS
COULD ONLY DELIVER TO HEAVEN
IWOULD SEND LILACS AND ROSES
BOUQUETS OF ALL KINDS
LINE A PATH WITH SWEET SMELLING BEAUTY
FROM ONE CLOUD TO ANOTHER
JUST ONCE MORE TO VISIT
MY MOTHER
WHAT WOULD i SAY, IF ONLY GIVEN SECONDS
TO COMPOSE
i WOULD STAND THEIR IN SILENCE
WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE AND TEARS IN MY EYES
tHEN PICK UP TWO FLOWERS
A WHITE LILLY AND A BRIGHT RED ROSE
KISS ITHEM AND GENTLY TOSS THEM
AND SHE WOULD KNOW EXACLTY MY THOUGHTS
FOR HER NAME WAS
LILLY ROSE

BIN LADENS DEATH.. was unexpected. I thought he never would be caught because he was protected by BUSH and OR CHENY.....for working with them to create the cause that allowed us to enter into the IRAQ WARS...making money for the entire Military industrial complex and all the Oil companies, and related big buisness. Either I am very wrong.....or their promise was kept during their reign of terror....but was now out of their control. I am sure, the slime of PAKISTAN was protecting him, under orders left over from BUSH and CHENEY, but had no control over OBAMA, who kept it secret...even from the PAKISTANIS...who would have blown the whistle, had their know the SEALS were coming to bring down the BIG GUY. Our problem with Pakistan is far from over......

I think it might have been better, had the Seals killed him, and left without a trace. Then his death coldnt be directly proven to be an American assasination.....it could have been an internal one...?????ANd less revenge sought on us. But American, especially all the family and friends of those who lsot love ones on 9/11 now feel some kind of closure....and have some respect regained for our government.....and especially for OBAMA, who did , what BUSH couldnt or wouldnt do!!!BUSH had annouced that he had given up on finding him......hmmmm, to me that is suspicious...especially when his father is in business with BIN LADENS DADDY......in the Carlyle Group (who make war goods, bradley tanks etc)

QUICK VEGETABLE COUS COUS:
mY RECIPES COME FROM AD LIBBING A MEAL, BASED ON WHAT i FIND IN THE FRIDGE AND THE CUPBOARD. EACH TIME I MAKE A DISH, DIFFERENT THINGS MIGHT BE THROWN IN.......
cut up one eggplant, 4 stalks of celery(chopped) one large onion(chopped) two yellow squash(sliced) 4 cloves of garlic, one can of chick peas,grated, one can of water chestnuts(sliced) Heat up oil in a large pot and saute till veggies start breaking down....then ad one can of crushed tomatoes(diced is good too) cup of ater tablespoon of cinnamon, a few shakes of tobassco, half teaspoon basil, half teaspoon nutmeg,) and simmer for 45 min or until all veggies are soft..add salt at the end...and adjsut seasoning to taste... Tumeric, cardomon, can also be added......

serve over cous cous...(just follow directons on the box) When serving, you can add chopped parsely or scallion on top.

WHY I HAVENT WRITTEN LATELY(if I was GOD)INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR PLANT

2011-04-01T06:10:00.000-07:00

WE HAVE CLOSED OUT WESTWOOD STORE, AFTER THE LANDLADY ANNOUCED THAT SHE IS DOUBLING THE RENT....NOW, SHE HAD THE OPTION ALL THIS TIME TO RENT THE STORE OUT...PUT A SIGN IN THE WINDOW"FOR RENT".AND WE WOULD HAVE AGREED TO MOVE OUT IN A MONTH!!! THE ARRANGEMNET WAS CHEAP RENT UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. BUT SHE, REMOVED THE SIGN, THEN ASSUMED WE WERE MAKING A FORTUNE, AND DOUBLED THE RENT. NOW WE ARE GONE AND SHE HAS ONEMORE EMPTY STORE IN HER EMPIRE OF MANY STORES.
DURING THE PERIOD WE WERE THERE, THE TILE STORE MOVED OUT....WHEN HE DID AND SHUT THE ELECTRICTY OFF, HALF OF OUR BASEMENT LIGHTS WENT OUT......AND THE SPACE WE WERE ALLOWED TO USE,WENT BLACK. SHE IS A VERY NASTY AND GREEDY LADY, WHO HAS FORCED OUT MANY TENNANTS IN THE LAST YEAR...4 THAT I KNOW OF.
SO, WERE WERE WORKING HARD TO EMPTY THE STORE, REFILL THIS ONE WITH THE GOOD STUFF, AND SHIP OFF A FEW TRUCK LOADS TO AN AUCTION......WHERE WE WERE TOTALLY SCREWED!!! NOT THAT THEY WERE DOING ANYTHING WRONG.....THING THAT ARE NOT REAL TREASURES AT AUCTION, GO FOR NOTHING!!!

HERE IN HOHOKUS, WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO REORGANIZE THE STORE...TO LOOK BETTER, AND TO LOOK BETTER, MIGHT MEAN TO SELL BETTER....AND, BY THE TIME EVENING ROLLED AROUND, I WAS TOO TIRED OR UNINSPIRED TO WRITE. TODAY IS APRIL FOOLS DAY. BUT I FEEL THE LAST FEW YEARS, I HAVE BEEN THE APRIL FOOL, ACTUALLY, THE JANUARY THRU DECEMBER FOOL, TO KEEP WORKING, ONLY TO PAY BILLS AND NOT MAKING A PENNY. I SHOULD HAVE THROWN IN THE TOWEL A FEW YEARS AGO.......BUT I STILL CANT FIND MY TOWEL!!!!!!!

tHE ENTIURE WORLD IS UPSIDE DOWN....Now if I was GOD, I would do something about it. YES I WOULD.. FIrst of all, I would stop all the tsunamis, earthquakes, tornados, and mutating viruses. I would help scientists find cures for all the diseases that are killing everyone. But what would happend,if no one died? Then there would be a sudden burts of population growth, and famine would become another problem.....and more wars would break out......then what? Eventually all the land woul d be used up for housing,, and no farm land left....and things would be worse than before....with modern medicines, the life span would reach 100.....no one would die...well not as many, all the funeral parlors would go out of business...but by that time, it would be creamatorums...because all the cemetaries would have been filled....even plowed udner to build more apartment houses and condos for the multitudes. Laws would have been passed, that only certain peole could reproduce...and much of the society would have been sterilized. The overpopulation, threats of wars, famines, will cause the form of government to be world wide dictatorship...in some kind of communistic form. Most people by then will be totally unhappy, and mentally ill. Most of the population will be on anti-depressants and anti anxiety pills (similar to right now-but worse). by that time, I would turn over my job to some other GOD who might have better ideas!!

I still think that if we boycott EXXON MOBIL.....and buy from anyone else....it would force them to lower the price of oil...and if they lower it, then the other companies would have to also.....and maybe, they will speed up technology on electric, and solar powered cars. IT IS POSSIBLE!!!!

ALSO BOYCOTT WALMART AND TARGET....AND STOP BUY ALL THAT CHINESE SHIT....CANT WE MAKE ANYTHING IN THE USA ANYMNORE BUT TROUBLE????????????

MOST OF ALL I ASK ALL OVE YOU TO START EMAILING ANYONE AND EVERYONE YOU KNOW..TO WRITE OR EMAIL.....EVERYONE FORM THE PRESIDENT, TO THE MAYOR OF NYC, THE GOV OF NJ, NY AND CT...ALL THE PEOPLE IN CONGRESS,....TO CLOSE INDIAN POINT. ONE EARTH QUAKE OR ONE TERROR ATTACK..ALL OF US WILL BE GONE. THE HUDSON RIVER WILL CONTAMINATE NYC AND THE SURROUNDING AREA.....THE AIR WILL BE CONTAMINATED FOR THOUSANDS OF MILES. THEY SAY IT HAS BEEN LEAKING FOR 16 YEARS..BUT IT IS SAFE...
DO YOU REALIZE THIS NUCLEAR POWERPLANT IS ON THE RAMAPO FAULT.....AND EARTH QUALE PRONE AREA, ALTHOUGH MINOR UP TILLNOW, THE PLANT IS ON THAT FAULT.......AND WITH CRAZY AL QUIDA.....ONE AIRPLANE FLOWN INTO THE PLANT WOULD CAUSE THE EVENTUAL DEATH OF 50 MILLION OR MORE OF US. AND WHAT IS TO STOP A HAND HELD MORTOR OR MISSILE FROM ATTACKING THE PLANT FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER...IT IS TOTALLY UNPROTECTED.....
WRITE NOW........AND OFTEN.

I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT TAKING A DAY OFF ....THEN I START FEELING GUILTY..THAT IN BAD TIMES I SHOULD WORK 24/7. JOHN, TELLS ME THAT I WOULD BE MORE EFFECTIVE HERE, IF I DID TAKE SOME TIME OFF. JOHN IS A HONEST AND LOGICAL MAN. BUT, I DONT LISTEN....BUT LATELY, I HAVE BEEN READING VARIOUS BOOKS WITH PHILOSPHY....BASED ON THE TORAH...NOW, I AM A JEWISH ATHEIST...I EAT CHICKEN SOUP AND GUEFELTE FISH WITH HORSERADISH ON THE HOLIDAYS...AND BELIVE THAT GETTING TOGETHER WITH FMAILY IS A RELIGOUS EXPERIENCE....BUT ALL THE OTHER NONSENSE....PRAYERS, HAVING TO PRAY IN A TEMPLE, AND ALL THE RITUAL IS SILLY. I DONT BELIVE IN AL THE STORIES, LIKE ADAM AND EVE, NOAH AND ALL HIS ANIMALS IN THE STINKY BOAT FOR 40 DAYS..............BUT....
I HAVE BEEN READING THINGS, THAT I LIKE.......AND ONE OF THEM MENTIONS, THE CONCEPT OF NOT WORKING.....NOW I WORK THE SABATH..WITHOUT FEELING GUILTY.. BUT, NOT ONLY DOESN TEH TORAH TELL MAN TO REST FOR A DAY...AND HIS ANIMALS.......THERE IS A LOGICAL REASON...NOT ONLY TO PRAY TO GOD....... and not only to rest his body....but to REST HIS MIND. THE MIND NEEDS REST. and i read, this one paragrpah, that said. that not doing anything at all, doenst mean you are lazy. Not doing anything..IS REALLY DOING SOMETHING!!!! IF I WRITE WHAT IT SAID IN MODERN TALK, IT WOULD HAVE SAID, ITS DOWN TIME TO RECHARGE YOUR BATTERIES...SO DOING NOTHING IS AS IMPORTANT AS DOING SOMETHING...MAYBE MORE IMPORTANT... so will I take a day off???? MAYBE.....and do what? WOrry, that I am missing something, although, the store is in very good hands with JOHN!! AND WHAT WOULD I DO WITH A DAY OFF? REST? SLEEP, OR GO ANTIQUING??
IN THE BOOK THAT I AM READING OF "SAYINGS FOR EVERY DAY BASED ON TORAH THEMES" THERE IS ONE PARAGRAPH WITTEN EVER SO ELEQUENTLY. WITH VOCABULARY THAT SUPERCEDES MINE BY MILES. I READ IT A FEW TIMES. THEN WHEN I LOOKED AT THE AUTHOR...I FREAKED!
HELEN KELLER......WHO OVER CAME THE DARKNESS AND SCREAMING SILENCE...TO BECOME SUCH A WISE AND WONDERFUL AND EDUCATED HUMAN BEING......I ALMOST FEEL INSIGNIFICANCE TO HER GREATNESS... AND MUST GIVE CREDIT TO ANN SULLIVAN, WITHOUT HER.....THE LITTLE GIRL WOULD HAVE LIVED IN BLACK SILENCE HER ENTIURE LIFE...AND NO WORDS OR THOUGHTS COULD HAVE BEEN CREATED...NOT EVEN....."WILL SOMEONE HELP RELEASE ME FROM THIS PRISON"
I WILL WRITE HER PARAGRAPH HERE SOON. AND NOW I MUST GET TO WORK!!!

SHORT ESSAY FROM THE NEWS:

2011-03-06T20:35:00.000-08:00

Poetry on the news
and the newsmen didn't know
the beauty of their newscast
exploring sadness
of a young teens death
moments after a wining basket
brought a perfect record for his team

Jumps,screaming, cheering soon turned to silence
then horror,as the heroes 16 year old heart gave out
Ending his life in a blaze of glory

The Newscast interview made me cry
not only for the youth
but the beauty of the people
in his small home town

His coach was not ashamed to cry on the camera
A black team mate was broken up with tears waterfalling
down his cheeks...

A Jewish boy;s tears were equally as expressive
How progressive was this tiny town
No place for prejudice
A town where love was incubated
and hopefully others noticed
how things should be.

i HAVE MUCH TO SAY, BUT LITTLE ENERGY THIS WEEK. I WILL CONDENSE SOME OF THE THOUGHTS. I AM WONDERING IF ALL THE TROUBLE IN THE MIDEAST IS A CONSPIRACY...PERPERTRATED BY THE CIA..SO OUR MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX...WILL START MAKING MORE MONEY.. THE OIL OCMPANIES ARE ALREADY RAPING THE PUBLIC AND THEY WILL BE MAKING OUTSTANDING PROFITS.....WAIT TILL WE GET THEIR QUARTERLY REPORTS.....EVEN THOUGH THE POPLE ARE GETTING RID OF TYRANTS THAT WE HAVE GOT ALONG WITH FOR YEARS......OUR SO CALLED ALLIES...
I HERE BY CALL FOR A BOYCOTT OF MOBIL EXXON...EVERYONE SHOULD TRY TO CUT DOWN A LITTLE.....ON BUYNG GAS.
SARAH PALIN IS OPENING HER STUPID MOUTH....SHE REALLY INFURIATED ME TODAY WITH HER DISSING OF OBMAMA...SHE SAID THINGS ABOUT HIM THAT SHOUL DHAVE BEEN SAID ABOUT BUSH AND CHENEY.......BEFORE WE GOT INTO A POSITION OF WAR, A DESTROYED ECONOMY,ETCETC

2011-03-02T22:30:00.001-08:00

March 1st, a date that will haunt me forever...The day I told the Drs not to operate on my mother...an angioplasty....but she was too weak from the angiogram the day before.....The Dr told me that he will do it anyway because she signed for it..and he killed her. Its the day I became an orphan 18 years ago. I entered the room when they were pounding on her chest....then they stopped. Her DR (not the surgeon) walkaed over towards me, tars rolling down his cheek....I knew. I said to him, "just tell me, is she gone" He nodded his head up and down, meaning yes"
My mind was talking to me, as if it was a seperate entity from ME!!! I or it said, "I am going with her..." Then I went blind with my eyes open, and slowly slumped to the ground. I "saw" the blackness. which is hard to explain. I passed out, yet conscious of the blackness. I soon heard voices that said, "dont move him" I felt myself being raised in the air...put on a table, and wheeled away. They said"his blood pressure is at stroke level. Get him into the elevator to the ER"
They gave me some sublingual pill....and in an hour, they took my presusre and it was down, and released me. It was a nightmare...but I didnt wake up from it. My mother was dead. I walked out into the hall, where a freind, who was to meet me at the hospital was there....I went with him and his girlfriend....It wasnt until we got to a restaruant, I told them my mother had died, and I almost died too....but I remembered....as I was in the darkness.....I felt very good and peaceful..when a very arm feeling cameover me and sort of pushed me back to life.....It wasnt my time.
The night..after midnight, when it was March 1st, I had a dream that I was in PAterson NJ(Ithink) when I looked to my right...and saw and explosion...the dream at this point was in black and white, when I usually dream in color....this explosion turned into a mushroom shaped cloud. I then came to the realization that an atomic bomb went off, and soon the nuclear storm...hot winds....and debris would be hitting us in seconds...like a giant tidal wave...and then I saw it comeing,,,I couldnt outrin it.....and then it hit!!! The dream blacked out....and then I awoke. Now the dream was in color.....I knew that I was out for a week..and didnt eat...But I was ok...and couldnt understand that. My dog Buddy was there too and ok....I didnt have any car..and didnt know how to get out of there....there was still some snow on the ground..but I didnt see ANYTHING else..no buildings nothing..!
In the morning, I realized it was March 1st...and thought the nuclear explosin...the disaster and devastion was a creative or poetic representation of the day my mother died....On this MARCH 1ST.

WHEN I WAS A BABY.....I THINK I WAS IN THE FIRST GRADE, I RAN A PEPETUAL FEVER...so my mother one day took me to the WOMENS AND CHILDRENS hospital in NYC>..after my pediatrician a woman named DR ELKIN..(how I remember this beats me?) suggest to MOM that I had reumatic fever or reumatic heart! We enter the hospital, then interviewd by the Doctors.......and then Mom told me to go with them and that she would be waiting outside in the waiting room....They took me away and started tests......and more tests...and then put me into a room with other children....Night fell. and no MOM, and I was abandoned!! Something happened to me that day and night....The shock of beliveing that my mother dumped me in a hospital....I was scared and cried. During the night Drs and nurse came with a giant syringe...and game me an injection that hurt horribly......they explained there was a disease runnign thru the hospital.....I asked for my mother...and the nuirse said she would be there in the morning.
Morning came...no mother....but relatives came. My great Aunt, who was married to Esty Lauders Uncle...came to visit me....My Great Aunt ANNA>..my grandfathers sister, who was a Hungarian AUnty MAME..SHe drank, smoked, gambled and was an international semi famous fashion Designer......I loved that lady.....she was warm,funny.and loving.. She broughtme a present...A cowboy hat, and a leather hodler and two cowboy guns...
The next morning, the nurses woke me up, washed me, and brought me my cowboy hat and guns...They told me an actress was coming and I was chosen to be int eh newspaper with her.....dressed like a cowboy. Soon, in came a very pretty lady, with her tits falling out of her dress, and photogrpahers with big speed graphic camers.....follwing her/////She crawlled into bed with me, my face almost being pushed into her cleavage.....She said Hello honey, I am Jane Russel...and here for a fund raiser for this hospital...I was so embarraes at the tits in my face, I couldnt speak... The took a slew of photos....and left. The nurses told me that My picture would be on the front page of the NEW YORK MIRROR......but I never saw it..People over the years told me they did see it..but, I nver tried to access it....the paper went out of business..but I bet somewhere the photo exists... With Me, Jane Russel and her lovey pair of tits....that HOward Huges devised a very special brassier to support those lovely red tipped puppies.... Not sure what came first..Her bra, or the SPRUCE GOOSE....the largest wooden aircraft ever built....It might have been almost as big as a 747..dont have the stats at this moment..
Jane died on Feb 28,...so her Death Anniverysay.....(Yorzeit) is one day before my mothes...so I can say a prayer for both of them on MArch 1st of every year. I was hoping to meet her again....maybe someday in the sky

A VERY DELISH MEXICAN BURRITO.....GRILL EGGPLANT, ZUCHINI, ONION, TOMATOES, GREENPEPPER,SCALLION,ASPARAGRAS(BOIL FIRST) USE WHOLEWHEAT TORTILLA, HEAT ON GRILL WITH A BIT OF OLIVE OIL....LAYER YOUR CHOICES OF VEGGIES...SPRINKLE WITH ADOBO, GARLIC POWDER, CUMINO..THEN COVER WITH GRATED CHEDDAR, MONTERAY JACK, OR YOU MIX OF FAVORITE CHEESES..BE GENEROUS. MICROWARE THE TORTILLA OPEN,,,WHEN SHEESE MELTS (ABOUT 2 MIN) REMOVE AND ADD A GENEROUS AMOUTN OF FINELY CHOPPED CILANTRO, AND SOME MORE CHOPPED RAW ONION AND SOME RIPE AVACADO..SALSA AND SOUR CREAM..ROLL THIS BAD BOY UP, COVER WITH SOME MORE SALSA....AND DEVOUR IT. IT IS A MEAL INITSELF.!!!

gADAFFI. MEZZUZAHS, FRESH ESTATES AND GUILT

2011-02-25T22:14:00.000-08:00

I HAVENT BEEN WRITING MUCH LATELY....MY MUSE...MUST BE ON VACATION, AND I DONT FEEL UP TO PAR... ACHES AND PAINS, BLURRED VISION SOMETIMES, AND I FEEL VERY SCHLEPY/cOLD BE THE WATER PILLS THAT MAKE ME WAKE UP EVERY HOUR AND PAY HOMAGE TO THE BATHROOM...AT LEAST i AM GETTING MY MONEY OUT OF IT...i WAS RIPPED OFF 15,000 DOLLARS FOR IT..MIGHT AS WELL ENJOY IT...HMMM, I DONT THINK ENJOY IS REALLY THE RIGHT WORD, LETS SAY, I AM GETTING USE OUT OF IT.
THE ENITURE MIDEAST EXPLOSION...WHETHER IT WAS STARTED BY WICKI LEAKS, OR THE POWDER KEG WAS READY TO BLOW UP ANYWAY.....IS SOMEWHAT DISTURBING. ALTHOUGH, WE DO WANT THE WORLDS PEOLE TO HAVE A GOOD TASTE OF SO CALLED DEMOCRACY, I AM NOT SURE THOSE PEOPLE CAN HANDLE IT. WHEN A RELIGION IS DIVIDED IN TWO, AND EACH HALF IS KILLING THE OTHER HALF.. AND THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS INTELLECTUAL...SHOULD A RELATIVE OF MOHAMMED BE THE LEADER OF ISLAM, OR A DULY ELECTED AND QUALITFIED PERSON.....FOR THIS DIFFERENCE, THE DEATH TOLL IN IRAQ, ALONE IS STAGGERING...THE SO CALLED RELIGON OF PEACE....BLOWS UP THE OTHER SIDES MOSQUES....THAT WOULD BE ALMOST AS IF AN OTHRODOX GROUP, WOULD BLOW UP A HASSIDIC SYNAGOGUE. THE JEWS, WHILE SEPARATED VASTLY IN IDEALOGY....ONLY YELL AND SCREAM AT EACH OTHER....THERE IS NO VIOLENCE..FOR THEY STILL ARE ALL JEWS, AND PART OF THE SAME UNIVERSE.
THE CATHOLICS AND PROTESTANTS ALSO USED TO BLW EACH OTHER UP IN IRELAND , AS OF RECENTLY, AND IN THE PAST, ENGLAND AND IRELAND, AND OTHER PARTS OF EUROPE WERE ENGAGED IN RELIGOUS WARS.......AGAIN FOR STUPID REASONS.. THE cATHOLICS LOVE THEIR POPE..AND HIS COSTUMES AND HATS AND SHOES, AND BIG JUICY RINGS TO KISS...AND THE COLLECTING OF ART AND BUILDING HUGE CATHEDRALS...WHILE THE PROTESTANTS, SO MUCH MORE HUMBLE....BUILT SMALLER CHURCHES AND DIDNT NEED A POPE..TO TALK TO GOD FOR THEM....
AND YET THEY KILLED EACH OTHER IN JESUS NAME...I AM SURE JESUS WOULD BE PISSED!!
NOW WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE ENTIURE MIDEAST BLOWING UP. IRAN SENDING WARSHIPS THRU THE SUEZ CANAL....GADAFFI THREATENED TO BLOW UP THE OIL WELLS...AND OF COURSE ISREAL IS ON 24 HOUR GUARD FOR ANYTHING TO HAPPEN...THEY ARE PREPARED TO BLOW HALF THE MIDEAST INTO OUTSPACE.....(WHERE IT BELONGS) THOSE PEOPLE ARE INSANE!!! AND IN THE BACK OF MY MIND,I WORRY THAT IT WILL EFFECT ALL OF US.. GAS IS ALREADY MORE EXPENSIVE, TRANSPORTATION WILL MADE GOODS AND SERVICES MORE EXPENSIVE......AND THE GAS COMPANY BASTARDS WILL RAISE THE PRICE JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN..NOT BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO!
I HAD THIS VERY SILLY IDEA TO MADE MEZZUZZAHS..THOSE CUTE LITTE THINGS THAT WE JEWS PUT ON EACH AND EVERYDOOR....FOR PROTECTION...FROM AL BAD THINGS, SICKNESS, THE EVIL EYE,AND ANYTHING NEGATIVE.... WITHIN THOSE CAPSULES, USUALLY BRASS, CONTAINS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (iF i AM WORNG PLEASE LET ME KNOW).....MY SILLYNESS BROUGHT ME TO THE THOUGHTS THAT THEY CAN ME MADE IN NONE RELIGIOUS FORMS....LIKE THE MUMMY CASE OF KING TUT, A HASSDIC MAN, A CHINAMAN WITH PIGTAILS, A BLACK MAN EATING WATERMELON..(YES THEY ALL ARE RACIST IN SOME WAY..BUT ONLY JOKING).....HOW ABOUT ONE OF OBAMA WEARING A YARMULKE, AND RUSH LIMBAGH, SARAH PALIN WITH HER MOOSE GUN, GLEN BECK(DREK) ANN COULTER, (ONE OF YOUR DOG -CUSTOM MADE..OR YOUR CAT.....lIBERACE, fRANK sINATRA, ALL THE BEATLES, DOLLY PARTON.....AN ELEPHANT, GIRAFFE,HIPPO AND OTHER ZOO ANIMALS.....THE DALI LAMA, THE POPE, THE GRAND RABBI OF BROOKLY,....AND ON AND ON. WE COULD HAVE A HUGE SET...MADE IN CATAGORIES...PEOPLE, PLACES, THINGS, ANIMALS, ETC SELL THE IDEA TO THE FRANKLIN MINT. BUY ONE GET ONE FREE>
WE ARE GETTING IN MANY MANY PARTIAL ESTATES AND THE STORE IS FILLING UP. TONIGHT WE WENT TO LOOK AT A HOUSE...THE PERSON WAS PUT IN A HOME..AND EVERYTHING WAS AS SHE LEFT IT..IT MADE ME VEY SAD. MORE THAN USUAL......ALL THE CLOTHING WAS IN THE CLOSET AND IN HER DRAWERS...LOOKS LIKE NOTHING WAS REMOVED. FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR..AND IN THE ATTIC...WAS A FREEZER...AND PLUGED IN....I WAS REALLY AFRAID TO OPEN IT...AFRAID I MIGHT FIND A BODY, OR BODY PARTS....I JUST COULD IMAGINE OPENING IT UP AND A HEAD WOUULD BE STARING BACK AT ME...WHY IN HELL WAS THERE A FREEZER INT HE ATTIC, AND WORKING..WHY NOT IN THE BASEMENT?
I FELT AS WE WERE INTRUDING...AND WE SHOULDNT BE THERE....LOTS OF GUILT STARTED FILLING ME UP...YET, I WAS SENT BY A LAWYER..THIS IS WHAT HE HAD TO DO, AND WE DID WHAT WE HAD TO DO....THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT LIFE JUST ISNT FAIR. WE ARE BORN...WE GROW UP, WE GET OLD AND SICK AND DIE. THERE IS NO ESCAPE.....AND OTHER HAVE TO CLEAN UP AFTER US....AND MAKE ROOM FOR THE NEXT GORUP OF PEOPLE WHO WILL TAKE OUR PLACE. THIS IS THE COSMIC PATTERN....

THE MIDEAST IS ABLAZE, AND CHINESE EGGPLANT DISH

2011-02-16T22:29:00.000-08:00

tONIGHT, NOT ONLY IS TUNISA AND EGYPT SETTLING THEIR DEOMCARCY ISSUES, BUT BAHRAIN, YEMEN, ALGERIA, IRAN, AND LIBYIA ARE IN TURMOIL.....SOME OF THEIR PEOPLE BEING BEATEN AND SHOT....THEIR LEADERS ARE LESS GENEROUS THAN MUBARK AND HIS SOLIDERS. AND AGAIN, THOSE COUNTRIES THAT WE CALL ALLIES...OR MUSLIM DICTATORSHIPS, BUT NOT ALL OF THEM THAT ARE FALLING APART ARE ALLIES...AS LIBYIA HAS BEEN AN ENEMY FOR A LONG TIME. YES, I AM CONCERN, BUT I WILL NOT PUSH ANY PANIC BUTTONS UNTIL WE SEE WHAT HAPPENS. I JUST HOPE THAT MOOSEKILLING SARAH PALINS SHUTS HER MOUTH......SHE SAID SHE DIDNT LIKE THE WAY OBAMA HANDLED THE EGYPTIAN SITUATION. I THINK HE DID JUST FINE, BY NOT REALLY DOING ANYTHING.

I NEEDED AN EXCUSE TO BUY "CHINESE 5 SPICE" HERE IS A QUCIK DIDSH WITH NO NAME> I CUT UP A BUNCH OF CHINESE EGGPLANTS IN ABOUT 2 INC PIECES....CHOPPED UP A LARGE ONION. SLICED ONE SMALL RED POTATOE VERY THIN... AND DEFROSTED HALF A BAG OF CHOPPED SPINACHED. FIRST SAUTE THE ONIONS IN OIL WITH FRESH GARLIC....THEN ADD THE POTOATOES, THEN THE EGGPLANT....AND FINALLY THE SPINACH WHEN THE OTHERS ARE SOFT...THEN ADD CHINESE FIVE SPICE ...AND YOUR CHOICE OF "HEAT" TOBASCO, CHILLIES, BLACK OR CAYENNE PEPPER.....THEN ADD A CUP OR TWO OF WATER AND LET COOK DOWN...IF YOU WANT A LOT OF GRAVEY,,, ADD WATER AND CORN STARCH...TO THICKEN....AND AD SALT AT THE END. KEEP CHECKING THE FLAVORING....ADD MORE FIVE SPICE OR GARLIC IF NEED BE.
YOU CAN ADD ALMOST ANY VEGGIE TO THIS TO MAKE IT DIFFERENT...NICE CHINESE OR AMERICAN MUSHROOMS, FRONZEN OR FRESH PEAS, OR ANYTHING.. JUST GO WILD. SERVE OVER BROWN RICE.

UNDERSTANDING THE UNVERSE, TRIP TO NYC(TRAFFIC) OTHER NONSENSE

2011-02-15T06:10:00.000-08:00

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING! PEOPLE, KARMA AND THE UNIVERSE.. NOW THAT MIGHT SEEM LIKE A VERY BROAD STATEMENT. BUT WHEN, A GROUP OF NON VIOLENT PEOPLE, MARCH IN SUPPORT OF THE TIBETIAN PEOPLE, AND THE NEPHEW OF THE DALI LAMA, IS MOWED DOWN LIKE A COMMON BLADE OF GRASS AND KILLED.....I SOMEHOW LOOSE THE CONCEPT, THAT ANYTHING IN THIS UNIVERSE MAKES SENSE. ONE WOULD THINK, THAT DOING THE RIGHT THING TO SUPPORT AN OPPRESED GROUP OF PEOPLE..WOULD SHINE ON THE SPIRITUAL POWERS THAT BE, AND KARMA JUST MIGHT WORK IN THIS SITUATION. THOSE RELIGOUS PEOPLE MIGHT CALL THIS POWER GOD, AND GOD WAS ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL, JUST AS THE DRIVE OF THAT CAR.
SOME MIGHT SAY WE JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE WAY OF THE SUPREME BEING. AND THAT THERE IS A REASON FOR EVERYTHING. AND I SAY UNTO THEM, WITH THE UTMOST RESPECT...
"YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR FRIGGEN MIND"

nOW EGYPTIAN HAS A NEW MILITARY GOVERNMENT..THE CROOK IN POWER ,IS GONE, AND SO IS 30,60 OR 90 MILLION DOLLARS. ANOTHER DICTATORSHIP THAT AMERICAN HAS SUPPORTED AND ENRICHES FOR 30 YEARS....HE RAN AWAY WITH ALL OUR TAX DOLLARS......AND DONT TELL ME NON IN THE GOERNMENT, REGARDLES OF THE POLITICAL PARTIES THEY WERE AFFILIATED WITH NEW HE WAS STEALING. BULLSHIT... I WONDER IF THERE WERE PAYOFFS TOO?
WE WOULD HAVE INVADED EGYPTIAN IF THEY HAD SOMETHING WE WANTED....LIKE OIL. I GUESS WE HAVE ENOUGH MUMMIES IN OUR MUSEUMS AND THEY WERENT ENOUGH CAUSE..TO SEND IN THE TROOPS AND HALLIBURTON. YES, WE NEEDED TO HAVE OUR BASES IN THE MIDEAST AND FRIENDLY COUNTRIES TO LAND IN IF NEED BE. AND YES, THERE WAS A PEACE ACCORD WITH ISRAEL AND EGYPT...AND MAYBE THEY DIDNT WANT TO ROCK THE BOAT.. BUT WAS HE ANY BETTER THAN SADDAM HUSSEIN? THE SWISS BANKS SAID THEY WOULD FREEE HIS ASSESTS. GOOD, IF THAT IS TRUE.....THEN SEND HIS BILLIONS BACK TO US.....IT CERTAINLY IS MONEY HE DIDNT EARN....HOW DID HE EARN IT...SELLING POSTCARDS OF THE PYRAMIDS?

LAST NIGHT JOHN AND I WENT INTO NYC, TO VISIT OUR FREIND RONNIE TWO DOOR...(TUDOR) WHO IS A MERCHANT FOR "ALMOST" FINE ART. WE BOUGHT SEVERAL PAINTINGS, BRONZES AND OTHER INTERESTING DECORATIVE ANTIQUE REPRODUCTIONS...INLCUDING A GREAD BRONZE 30" TALL OF JULIUS CAESAR IN HIS LONG ROBES (SCHMATA.....IN LATIN,) AND A BRONZE OF A NATIVE AMERICAN TRYING TO TRAIN A SMALL BEAR.........AFTER BUYING ALL THE ITEMS, WE WENT INTO A GREAT RESTAURANT TO EAT....I HAVE EATEN THERE SEVERAL TIMES....IT WAS ALMOST NOSTALGIC, NOT BECASUE OF PAST EATING EXPERIENCES THAT WERE GASTRONOMICALLY PLEASANT, BUT THIS STORE USED TO BE AN ANTIQUE STORE THAT WE VISITED.....IN THE 1970S.....FOR MANY YEARS....THE OWNER.....WITH WHOM WE WERE VERY FRIENDLY....DIED..YEARS AGO, DIED, WHILE TALKING WITH JOHN ON THE PHONE!! SAD BUT TRUE.
THE MENU HERE HAD NAMES LIKE PHENOMG PENG BEEF, SAIGON CHICKEN, GULF OF TONKIN SHRIMP.....NAMES AILEN TO ME, REMEMBERING THE DAYS OF THE VIET NAM WAR....ON T HE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD, WHERE THE BLOOD AND BOMBS WERE SOMETHING WE IMAGINED AND SAW ON TV, BUT THOUGHT IT REALLY WASNT REAL..... WE NVER KNEW ANY PEOPLE FORM THAT PART OF THE WORLD, AND ASSOCIATED THEM AND THEIR WORDS WITH TERROR ATTACKS ON OUR SOLDIERS....LATER ONLY TO FIND OUT..WE WERE THE REAL TERRORISTS, AND WERE BRAIN WASHED BY OUR GOVERNMENT AND MEDIA (SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW?)....WE LEARNED TO HATE THIS ENEMY AND NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS WAR WAS ABOUT....IT WASNT REALLY ABOUT THE FEAR OF WORLD DOMINATION OF COMMUNISTS... BUT THE ACQUISITION OF OIL AND DRUGS AND MAKING MONEY FOR BIG BUSINESS......TODAY IN HE MIDEAST, ONLY THE NAMES HAVE CHANGED....THE LIES HAVE CHANGED, THE BUT REASON FOR THIS WAS IS DRUGS, OIL AND MAKING THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX MORE RICHA ND MORE POWERFUL......AND THE ONE MAIN DIFFERENCE IS THAT SOPHISITICATED WEAPONRY, HAS CUT THE DEATH TOLL IN BATTLE...WE ARE SOMEWHERE CLOSING IN ON 4000 DEATHS (SO THEY TELL US???) WERE IN VIETNAM, IT WAS OVER 54,000.... OF COURSE, DEATHS FROM DISEASE AND INJURY CONTINUE TODAY FROM VIETNAM...AGENT ORANGE DISEASE AND SUICIDE FROM DRUG RELATED CAUSES..CONTINUE... AS DO, THOSE FROM THE PRESENT AND LAST IRAQI WAR.
YES I DO RANT AND RAVE, BUT NOT WITHOUT CAUSE....AND I GO OFF ON TANGENTS....SO BACK TO THE MENU AND FOOD. THE MENU IS A FEW PAGES LONG, THE RESTAURANT IS APPOINTED BEAUTIFULLY, AND JAMMED WITH PEOPLE. THE AROMA IS TANTALYZING. MAKING CHOICES IS VERY DIFFICULT...AND THERE ARE SO MANY SIMILAR DISHES..WITH ONE OR TWO INGREDIENTS THAT MAKE IT SOMETHING SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT. THE PRICES, FOR NYC ARE EXTREMLY FAR....OR JUST DAMN CHEAP, THE PORTIONS ARE LARGE, AND THE FOOD IS VERY GOOD.
JOHN WAS IN VEGETARIAN HEAVEN...WITH A HUGE SALAD, VEGGIETARIAN DUMPLINGS AND VEGGETARIAN CURRY.....A PORTION, THAT TWO PEOPLE COULD HAVE EASILY FILLED THEM SELVES,,AND PROPERLY COOKED BROWN RICE. ON THE TABLE IS A CONTAINER THAT HOUSED THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SPICY THINGS...TWO SAUCES...THAT WERE ALMOST MELTING THE GLASS IT WAS WITHIN, AND SLICED CHILLES OF SOME TYPE. JOHN POUR ALL THREE ON HIS FOOD AND SALAD.....AND..I WATCHED SILENTLY...WONDERING WHY IT DIDNT KILL HIM. ONE DROP BURNED MY LIPS...BUT JOHN POURED IT ON, COVERING HIS FOOD...
I HAD AN APPETIZING PLATE...WITH SATE: CHICKEN AND BEEF ON A STICK, BROILED WITH CHOPPED PEANUTS ON IT..AND SERVED WITH A PEANUT SAUCE, TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF EGG ROLL OR SPRING ROLLS, FILLED WITH STUFF? EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS...WHO KNOWS, MAYBE I DONT WANT TO KNOW....BUT TASTY...AND SOME KIND OF CHOPPED SHRIMP THAT WAS DEEP FREIND AROUND A PIECE OF SUGAR CANE......AND THEN...I HAS A HUGE PLATE OF CHICKEN CURRY WITH A BIT OF CHINESE EGGPLANT FOR EXTRA FLAVOR...IT WASNT SPICEY, AND I DID AD A FEW DROPS OF THE SAUCE THAT WAS TICKLING JOHNS INNARDS. AND OF COURSE, IT WAS SERVED IN A VERTI GRIS HEAVY IRON POT OF GREEN TEA....
WE LEFT RONNIE TWO DOORS AND GOT ONLY A FEW BLOCKS, WHEN THE VIET NAMESE FOOD WAS GETTING REVENGE ON THIS AMERICAN FOR THE ENTIRE WAR. LUCKILY, THERE WAS A PARKING SPOT VERY SHORTLY IN FRONT OF AN ALL NIGHT "DINER" RESTAURANT.....JOHN ORDERED APPLE PIE AND COFFEE AS I WAS ON A RECONNAISANCE MISSION TO FIND THE BATHROOM.
I HAD A CUP OF TEA....THE BILL FOR TWO DRINKS AND PIE WAS 11.00 WOW.. THEY WERENT SHY!!!
THE TRIP BACK WAS A HORROR. GOING INTO THE TUNNEL THERE WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC THAT WASNT MOVING AT ALL FOR A WHILE. THEN IN NJ, ROUT 17 WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER AND NOT MOVING...TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT.. THE HIWAY WAS CLOSED. THEY MADE US GET OFF.....MAKE A RIGHT TURN OVER THE OVERPASS AND THEN WE WERE ON OUR OWN....NO MORE SIGNES...EXCEPT ONE THAT TOOK US BACK TO 17 IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.!! FRIGGEN IDIOTS... THE HIWAY SHOULD HAVE A SIGN MILES DOWN THE ROAD THAT SAID, "RT 17 CLOSED AT PATERSON PLANK ROAD-mAKE OTHER PLANS" TOOK FOREVER TO GET HOME LAST NIGHT...AND I AM PISSED AT BOTH THE POLICE AND DEPARTMENT OF HIWAYS."
SEX AND POLITICS.. WHY DO THEY SEEM ALWAYS TO GO TOGETHER.. IS IT THAT PEOPLE IN POWER ABOSE THEIR POWER? IS IT THAT PEOPLE WHO STRIDE TO BECOME POWERFUL ALSO HAVE A HIGH SEX DRIVE. OR IS IT THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE MONEY, THEY ARE ABLE TO AFFORD SEXUAL AFFAIRS. OR IS IT..THAT THE ENTIURE WORLD FOOLS AROUND, AND THE PEOPLE IN HIGH PLACES ARE THE ONES PEOPLE WATCH ...THEREFORE THEY GET CAUGHT/?? who cares!!!

wE ARE CLOSING OUR wESTWOOD STORE......

2011-02-08T17:10:00.000-08:00

THE LANDLORDS BOTHER CAME INTO THE STORE...AND GAVE ME A LINE OF BULLSHIT THAT WE OWE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY (WHICH WE DO NOT)...THEY SAID THEY RAISED THE RENT...WLL THEY NEVER TOLD US, NOT GOT A CERTIFIED LETTER TO TELL ME THAT....(THEY ALSO CUT OFF HALF THE LIGHTING IN THE BASEMENT).....AND OTHER NONSENSE..
WELL I SAID, OK WE ARE FINISHED.....GIVE US A MONTH..TO GET OUT. THEN HE SAID, WELL WANT TO STAY IF YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY AN INCREASE..NO, I SAID WE HAD ENOUGH. YOU CAN NOW HAVE 3 EMPTY STORES...NOW YOU CAN PAY THE HEATING BILL SO THE PIPES DONT FREEEZE. THERE WERE 8 SNOW STORMS SINCE XMAS....IF YOU HAVENT BEEN AWARE...
SO ITS OVER...BYE BYE WESTWOOD. IT WILL BE GOOD TO HAVE JOHN BACK HERE AGAIN

SNOW & MORE SNOW, cELEBRITY CAMEO APPEARANCE...SOUP

2011-02-07T23:44:00.000-08:00

ALL THIS SNOW HAS MADE ME NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING..BUSINESS IS BAD, AND DEPRESSION HAS SLIGHTLY SET IN....KIM G FROM THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ..BOUGHT A FEW THINGS HERE.....WELL, IF YOU CALL THOSE PEOPLE CELEBRITIES...I HAVE OTHER NAMES TO CALL SOME OF THEM, SHE WAS VERY NICE..BUT SOME OF THEM....AND THE ONES FROM THE REAL HOUSE WIVES OF NYC (WHO ALSO WERE HERE) CAN BE COMPARED TO THE FEMALE BODY PART THAT RESIDES AT THE Y WHERE THE TWO LEGS MEET....AND USED TO BE COVERED BY HAIR..BUT NOW, THESE RICH BITCHES HAVE THEM WAXED AND POLISHED LIKE A NICE HARDWOOD FLOOR.

THE PILE OF SNOW OUTSIDE THE STORE IS TALLER THAN ME!!! AND ITS DARK AND NASTY....I MADE A SOUP...FROM SOME LEFT OVER RICE,AND VEGGIES....THAT I HAD PUT TOO MUCH GARLIC INTO.....I DILUTED IT WITH WATER, USED TWO VEGETARIAN BOUILLON CUBES, TOBASCO, CATSUP, WORSTERSHIRE SAUCE, CILANTO, AND GRATED CHEDDAR CHEESE..MICROWAVED IT TILL ALL THE CHEEST MELTED,.....THEN ADDED A LITTLE SALT AND PEPPER AT THE END.....IT WAS REALLY DELISHOUS..WHAT EVER IT WAS. THE VEGGIES IN THE RICE WERE GREEN PEPPER, YELLOW SQAUSH, ONIONS.....

IT LATE AND I AM TIRED, AND DO NOT HAVE ANY CREATIVITY IN ME TODAY........I AM GOING FOR AN UPPER AND LOWER GI SERIES TEST AND A COLONOSCOPY.......I GUESS THAT IS THE CLOSETS I WILL GET TO BEING ON TELEVISON THIS YEAR....ONE DOWN MY THROAT AND THE OTHER ONE UP THE TUSH.....(ALL i NEED IS A SPONSER...AND WE CAN HAVE THE MAURY LUBMAN INSIDE SHOW!!!

IF GROUNDHOG DAYS WAS A HASSIDIC HOLIDAY

2011-02-01T19:58:00.000-08:00

FOR THOSE WHO MIGHT TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY, PLEASE DONT.....GROUNDHOG DAY IS NOT A JEWISH HOLIDAY/////BUT IF IT WERE, AND PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL, WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS WORSHIPPED.....THE FOLLOWING IS A PSEUDO SCENARIO OF WHAT WE WOULD SEE IN PENNSYLVANIA TOMORROW'

ALL ACROSS THE NORTHEAST, HASSDIC MOTHERS ARE COOKING THEIR BRAINS OUT WITH FABULOUS DELICASIES...THEY ARE PACKING BASKETS WITH JARS OF PICKELED HERRING, LOX WRAPPED IN WAXED PAPER,, BAGELS AND BIALIES, POTS OF BRISKET, STUFFED CABBAGE, CHOLENTS(BEAN&MEAN STEW) KNISHES, SALADS OF ALL KINDS, BREADS AND ROLLS,KNISHES, PICKLES AND PICKEL TOMATOES, PASTRAMI AND CORNED BEEF... ALL KINDS OF PASTIRES, AND DRINKS....
NEATLY PACKED FRSH IRONED TABLE CLOTHS, AND LINEN NAPKINS......AND SILVER AND BRASS CANDLE STICKS AND BOXES OF CANDLES....PUT INTO TRUNKS.......AND A LARGE NUMBER OF PRAYER BOOKS..

PORTABLE RECORD PLAYERS WERE ALSO READY TO BE LOADED INTO BUSES AND VANS FOR THEIR TREK TO PENNSYLVANIA. CHILDRENS CLOTHES WERE WASHED AND IRONED, AND THE LADIES WERE SETTING THEIR WIGS TO BE GLAMOUROUS..THEIR SHEYTLES THEIR SIGNATURE...OF MARRIED HASSIDIC LADIES. A BIG DAY LIES AHEAD.

AT DAY BREAK, ALL OVER THE HASSIDIC COMMUNITY..FROM BROOKLYN, TO MONSEY NY TO MONROE NY....WERE READY TO LEAVE FOR THEIR 2 HOUR TRIP TO PUNXSUTANWY PHIL...TO WORSHIP HIM AND PRAY TO HIM FOR AN EARLY SPRING.

THE BUSSES AND VANS PULLED TO THE PARKING LOTS.....HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE STARTED SETTING UP PICNIC TABLES, LIGHTING FIRES IN PARK FIREPLACES AND GRILLS....THE WOMEN STARTED COVERING THE TABLES WITH THEIR CLEAN CRISP CLOTHS, SETTING UP THE CANDLEABRAS, AND SETTING FANTASTIC DISPLAY OF DELISHOUS FOODS FOR THE PEOPLE TO EAT, WHEN THE CEREMONIES WERE FINISHED. THE MEN AND BOYS OVER 13 TOOK THEIR PRAYER BOOKS, AND SURROUNDED THE HOLE WHERE PHIL THE GROUNDHOG WOULD COME UP AND LOOK OUT.
THEY ALL OPENED THEIR PRAYER BOOKS AND STARTED PRAYING....THEY BENT FORWARD AND THEN SWAYED BACK...AND KEPT BENDING AND PRAYING...AND CHANTING...MOST WERE WEARING THEIR FUR HATS AND THEIR PEYESS (LONG CURLS) SWAYED IN THE MOVEMENT.....THE HAUNTING CHANTS,OF THE MULTITUDES....EVENTUALY SUMMONED PHIL FROM HIS HOLE AND HE STUCK HIS HEAD UP....WHEN THEN MEN SAW HIM EMERGE...THE SWAYING AND PRAYING GOT WILDER AND LOUDER....AT THAT POINT...ONE OF THE WOMEN PUT ON A RECORD ON THE WIND UP RECORD PLAYER.....HAVA NEGILA.....AND THE MEN STARTED DANCING IN A CIRCLE AROUND THE GROUND HOG HOLE....WHICH SCARED PHIL, AND HE RETUNED DOWN THE HOLE. THE DANCING CONTINUE...IN WILD WHIRLS AND TWIRLS....AND OTHER HASSIDIC MUSIC REPLACED HAVA NEGLIA, AND THEN MEN DANCED AS THE WOMEN HEATED THE FOOT AND SET IT OUT. THE FIRST DEVOURED WAS PIECES OF PICKLED HERRING....WHICH THEY GRABBED ON WOODEN TOOTHPICKS..mOST OF THE MEN SEEMD TO DRIP THE HERRING JUICE ONTO THEIR BLACK COATS, BUT DIDNT MIND IT....THEY WERE ALL VERY HAPPY...FOR IT WAS YONTIV)HOLIDAY) GROUND HOG DAY, ONE OF THE HOLIEST DAYS OF THE YEAR..... ONE OF THE WOMEN WAS CHOSEN TO OFFER A PLATE OF FOOD TO PHIL, AND PLACED IT NEAR THE OPENING TO HIS DEN.....WHICH SURPRISED ME BECAUSE I DIDNT REALIZE THAT GROUNDHOGS ATE KOSHER....ESPECIALLY, PASTRAMI IF VERY FATTENING FOR A GROUND HOG.
AFTER THEY ATE AND DRANK, CHILDREN PLAYED GAMES....LIKE PIN THE TAIL ON THE YENTA, AND SPIN THE GROUNDHOG...A CLAY GOURNDHOG, WHICH WHEN SPINNED AND POINTS TO THE WINNER...THE WINNER GETS THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE ONE OF THE OTHER CHIDLREN FEEL GUILTY.

Egypt=New PAssover Happening, Hungarian recipe,Snow&boredom

2011-02-01T15:55:00.000-08:00

while there is no old man with a long beard....and a staff, the Egyptian People are witnessing the begining of a new PASSOVER..This time, its the Egyptians own people, who are asking their pressdient to resign...in effect, telling him let my people go and be free of YOU...MR Mubarack...
There have been no plagues yet, but the PHAROHS CHARIOTS are in the streets,but claim they will not fired upon the people. The people want him out, but tonight, he said he wouldnt leave,until September....If we can fast forward....we can only make a few guesses what might happen? Mubarack might agree to leave...or the crowds might get violet and start rioting....usually, bad people then take over......then the police and army, just might start firing into the crowd. If deaths start piling up, a revolution could proceed. Mubarack might get assasinated...even by one of his own people......as he probably is the one that had SADAT killed...29 years ago.
Why the people would try to loot their own museum.....is a mystery..unless those who did it were just stupid thugs. Egypt has the most exotic and oldest history in the world and are proud of it...Ripping the heads of a few mummies...doesnt prove anything but stupidity.

I love to eat...and I really do not have a particular ethic favorites....I love them all.....my least favorite is Eskimo....and second lest favorite is JAPANESE....and that doenst mean that I do not like Japanese food....I just like other foods better. Now I must admit, there are cusines that i have never sampled....I have never eaten South Sea ISlands foods.....like fermented ground cassava and taro roots made into their version of knishes.....and I really never had Eskimo food..nor attended an Eskimo BAr MItzvah... I have never eaten tribal African food..which is also lots of ground up roots made into poridges, or pancakes..and I know they eat bugs, worms, drink blood of cows, and some other things I can live without. But, from all not tribal countries....I love all the food....my three real dislikes: anchovies, buttermilk, and too fishy fish.. I am very fortunate that I like all fuits and veggies, without exception, all meats, including liver,brains, kidney and all other parts and pieces.
I am particularly close to HUngarian food. I grew up with it.Gandma brought her recipes from a town in HUngary, in the middle of nowhere...about 30 miles from the Ukraine, and what is now Romania..... She didnt teach me to cook any of here recipes...but I just absorbed them by accidently watching enough times as I grew up. Here is one that I just made....simple, inexpensive, peasant food, delicious and easy.... In Hungarian it is called KARPUSTA GULISHKA (Cabbagecasserole) It is basicaly..It is a saute of noodles with cabbage and onions...... how to: cook broad noodles, al dente, put aside, and put in some butter to keep them from sticking. chop cabbage and noodles.... a two cups cabbage to one of onions. Saute in butter until onions start to brown and cabbage is soft and wilted. Add veggies to the noodles and add some more butter, salt, pepper and a hint of red paprika(for color) and continue to saute..until some onions and noodle start turning brown. Serve in a soup bowl, with a tablespoon or two of sour cream.

The snow is getting annoying....since XMAS, we have had is it 7 or 8 storms...and another in a few days? The LAndlady from my Westwood store, send us an eviction notice....we are a about a total of a month behind.......is it any surprise..NO FRIGGING PARKING IN A MONTH...NO BUSINESS. WE WIL TELL HER TO KEEP HER STORE, WHICH WAS EMPTY FOR 9 MONTHS..AND ALTHOUGH ITS GORGEOUS STORE...WE ARENT MAKING ANY MONEY...SO LET HER HAVE HER STORE BACK, LET HER PAY THE HEATING BILL FOR THE REST OF THE WINTER. SHE DOENST APPRECIATE THAT WE ARE IN THERE.....GAY COCKEN AFEN YAM.

THE TEARS FLOW FROM THIS SEASONED MAN
NOT FOR EGYPT, NOR ITS PEOPLE
BUT FOR ENTIRE HUMANKIND
LED BY THEIR LEADERS
TO THE BRINK OF EXHAUSTION

NOT BY GUNS AND FEAR
BULLETS AND SPEARS
BUT BUY WEAPONS OF WORDS AND POETRY
LOVE AND PEACE
WHICH IS LAUGHED AT
BY THOSE WITH WAR IN THEIR BLOOD
AND FIGHT IN DREAMS
AND GREED IN THEIR AGENDA

I REMEMBER THE FEAR I HAD WHEN I WAS LITTLE..THE WOODEN RADIO ON THE KITCHEN COUNTER WAS TALKING ABOUT THE DEVASTATION THAT THE H BOMB COULD DELIVER IF DROPPED ON AMERICA. THEY DECRIBED THE SKIN PEELING OFF, THE RADIATION, THE BUILDINGS BURTING INTO FLAMES, AND THE ENTIURE POPULATION DYING. I WAS SCARED..SO SCARED THAT I PULLED OUT THE PLUG OF THE RADIO, TO SILNECE IT. AND I STARTED CRYING... PETRIFIED, AND THE SYMBOLIC PULLING OUT THE PLUG, WAS LIKE THE OSTRICH BURYING ITS HEAD IN THE SAND.
SOMEWHERE IN THAT PERIOD OF TIME WAS THE KOREAN WAR, WITH DAILY RADIO REPORTS. MY WALLPAPER IN MY BEDROOM HAD ALL KINDS OF FIGHTER PLANES ON IT ON A BLUE BACKGROUND...WAR PLANES, AND MY WALL PAPER SCARED ME! MY FATHER SHOWED ME PHOTOS HE TOOK IN EUROPE DURING WW2....BUILDINGS COMPLETED DESTROYED.. BLOCK AND BLOCKS OF BOMBED OUT CITIES WITH PEOPLE IN THE STREETS...AND THOSE PHOTOS SCARED ME.
THEN FOR A FEW YEARS WE HAD PEACE. THEN CAME VIET NAM. DAILY NEWS ON TV SHOWED THE HORRORS OF WAR....AND I WAS SCARED I WOULD HAVE TO GO THERE, TO GET SHOT FOR MOBIL OIL AND EXXON, THE MILTARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX...AND THE IMPORTATION OF HEROIN, THE MAIN EXPORT OF SOURTH VIET NAM. BY THIS TIME, I LEARN THAT WAS WAS BIG BUSINESS, AND NOT REALLY FOR MAKING WRONGS...RIGHT!!!!!WATCHING ALL THE SOLDIERS MY AGE COMING BACK IN BODY BAGS SCARED ME!
JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT WE WERE CURED OF FIGHTING, THE VERY EVIL DADDY GEORGE BUSH BECAME PRESIENT ADN BORUGHT US THE FIRST IRAQI WAR.....FILLED WITH LIES AND DEATH....AND THEN HIS EVIL SON, BROUGHT US PART TWOOF THE WAR, WHICH WE ARE STILL SPONSERING.....SUPPOSEDLY TO HELP THE PEOPLE, WHICH IS A LIE, NO ONE RALLY BELIVES ANYMORE...dURING MY LIFE TIME WE HAD ALL THESE WARS, THE HALOCAUST, AND SMALLER WARS HERE AND THEIR....SO WE REALLY HAVENT ACHEIVED PEACE ANYWHERE...FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. 1948 THE iSRAELI ARAB WAR, ALL THE MANY AFRICAN WARS....COUNTRIES CHANGING THEIR NAME FASTER THAN THEIR BIRTHRATE.....THE HUNGARIANS AND OTHER EASTERN EUROPEANS FOUGHT COMMUNISM AND ARE NOW FREE OF IT...NOW EGYPT IS TRYING TO FEEL ITS OATS...AND GET THEIR FREEDOM. I WISH THEM LUCK...BUT I AM SCARED.

we are racing towards the future
full speed ahead
from the time the sperm wiggles into the egg
9 months of resting without worrying
absorbing strength growing without knowing
what we will face
when we face the light and scream
suckle and grow
learn to craw;
learn to walk
learn to talk
learn to read
learn to play
learn to learn
Plan those book reports
study for test
try out for teams
learning to win and loose
and learn to choose
the many choices that life gives
We learn how to race towards the future
The older we get the faster we move
the more focus the goal
We learn to love
we learn to hate
we learn to copulate
We learn to dream
and fantasize wealth
fantasize our ego growing
without knowing where it takes us
We acquire homes and wealth
travel the world
create a family
develop friendships and bonding
Live the life
See children mature
satisfy your wildest dreams
or accept disappointments
downsize, loose love ones
start to loose ones health
then memory
then return to the earth
The trip is finished
the race is over.

THE BIBLE KILLS AGAIN IN UGANDA, MORE SNOW...SOUP!

2011-01-27T18:45:00.000-08:00

EVEN THOUGH THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN A FEW THOUSAND OR MORE YEARS AGO, IT KILLED AGAIN IN UGANDA....THOSE PRIMITIVE ANIMALS KILLED A GAY ACTIVIST...THEY BEAT HIS HEAD IN WITH A HAMMER....AH, WHAT WOULD JESUS SAY? THOU SHALL NOT KILL? OR tHOU SHALL NOT LOVE? THOSE RELIGOUS FANATICS KILLED THIS MAN.....FOR SPEAKING OUT...THAT ITS OK TO LOVE....THAT OCUNTRY ALSO HAS LIFE IMPORISOMENT AND DEATH SENTENCE FOR HOMOSEXUALILITY.....THEY ARE STILL IN THE DARK AGES.....ALONG WITH THEIR MUSLIM COUNTER PARTS....AND THE MUSLIMS, GOT THEIR DOCTRINE FROM BOTH THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS.......THEN THEY ADDED MORE CRAP TO IT TO MAKE THEIR RULES.......HARSHER
IF IT WERE IN MY POWER, I WOULD BOMB THE CRAP OUT OF THE GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS IN THAT OCUNTRY AND ALL OF THE RELGIOUS LEADERS AS WELL......LET THEM FEEL SOME OF THE LOVE....
AND THEN GET RID OF SOME OF THE OTHER RELGIOUS LEADERS WHO ARE ANTI EVERYTHING.......19 INCHES MORE SNOW..IS CRIPPLING BUSINESS....
SOUP......eVERY DAY OR TWO WE BOIL CHICKEN...FOR BUDDY DOG....AND MOST OF THE TIME THE WATER....IS THROWN AWAY...BUT WHAT A WASTE...so I started improvising soups from the chicken stock, to anything else that is laying around the kitchen... its a challenge to make something very nice of what ever we have......
I had a leek left over....so it was chopped up in large pieces and thrown in. Then a cup of brown rice.....(brown has more flavor and more vitamens) there was some celery left over....a can of diced tomatoes......tablespoon of curry(after it was microwaved in oil for a minute) and two tablespoons of vinegar...and two little packs of splenda...then it was thickened later with flour...
This can be used as a basis for so many other soups. add tomatoe paste, okra, green or red pepper, carrots, regular onions, potaotes, sweet potaotes, any other root vegtable, parsely, cilantro, corn.....etcetcetc

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH TONIGHT..AWESOME

2011-01-25T19:29:00.000-08:00

SO MUCH OF THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH..SEEMED LIKE IT CAME FROM MY OUTLINE THAT I WROTE...FOR MY INTERNS TO DO RESEARCH(FOR STATISTICS) FOR MY UP AND COMING PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AND VIDEO. I WAS AMAZED...I FELT LIKE HE PLAGERIZED MY OUTLINE......WELL THEY DO SAY, GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE....(lol)
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HE SAID.....AND HAD THE COURAGE TO BRING BEFORE CONGRESS...AND ALL OF THE WORLD...WAS THE COMMENT ON HIS REPEAL OF THE"DONT ASK DONT TELL" OBAMA SAID, NO LONGER WILL WE BE JUDGING ONES CHOICE OF WHO YOU LOVE...TO JOIN THE ARMED FORCES.....hE DIDNT SAY WHO YOU HAVE SEX WITH, OR WHO YOU SLEEP WITH, BUT WHO YOU "LOVE" THE PRESIENT OF THE UNITED STATES...LEGITIMIZED SAME SEX RELATIONSHIP BY USING THE WORD "LOVE" THIS SHALL GO DOWN IN HISTORY!
AFTER HIS AWESOME 61 MINUTE SPEECH, KATIE CURIC MADE ME LAUGH UT LOUD WHEN SHE SAID, HOW ALL HIS PEOPLE WERE "QVELLING" OVER THE PRESIDENT... THE WORD "QVELLING" IS A YIDDISH WORD....IT MEANS, THE EMOTION OF FEELING PROUD..USUALLY USED IN RELATIONSHIP TO A PARENT OR GRANDPARENT...
THE SPEECH WAS AWESOME.....DIDNT SOUND LIKE A SPEECH, BUT THAT HE WAS TALKING OFF THE CUFF....HIS TIMING, WAS EXCELLENT..HIS IDEAS EXCELLENT (LIKE MINE-)SERIOUSLY....BUT IMPLEMENTING THEM IS ANOTHER THING...HE NEEDS THE COOPERATION OF BOTH PARTIES IN CONGRESS...AND ABLE WORKERS...AND THE FINANCES TO CARRY OUT THE PROJECTS. HE GOT A LOT OF STADNING OVATIONS......FROM BOTH PARTIES AS WELL. IT WAS A FULLFILLING HOUR....I DIDNT PLAN ON WATCHING.....AND VERY HAPPY THAT I DID.
I THINK BACK TO BUSHES SPEECHS....AND LOOKING BACK..WHAT A JOKE HE WAS....OBAMA JUST EXUDES INTELLGENCE.

PHOENIX – Opening arguments are set to begin in Phoenix on Monday in the trial of an Iraqi immigrant accused of killing his daughter because he allegedly believed she was too Westernized.

Faleh Hassan Almaleki is accused of what prosecutors say was an October 2009 "honor killing" over his daughter's behavior. He will go to trial after failing to reach a plea deal with prosecutors.

I am not a Vegetarian yet but"""here is a sandwich to fall inlove with!!!

2011-01-20T18:33:00.000-08:00

Ok, I know not to end a sentence with a preposition....(to fall in love with) but so what....I am not getting graded here... Here is a sandwhich which upgrades the ordinary lettuce and tomatoe sandwhich into a gormet delight....and if you want, leave out the lettuce!!
I used Arnolds 12 grain bread. spread with mayo on each side. then add shredded Romaine lettuce, paper thin slice of onion. thin slices of tomatoe, half an avaocade that is very ripe, slice of roasted red pepper from a jar(blot with paper to dry) and three sliced Chipolete smoked peppers in sauce(slice and try to get the pieces equidistant.....sprinkle with garlic powder....
It is awesome. Now if you want to not be a vegetarian, you can add chicken, turkey roast beef, roast pork, ham, etc....Go ahead and add some brie,swiss cheese...or any other of your choice. You are in for a real treat. The chipolete pepper shouldnt be the spicey variety, for it will over power everythig else.
I just had too of these BAD BOYS and downed them with Orange Juice....great combo, healthy, delicious.....and very satisfying...... Serve with a side salad...with an ORANGE JUICE DRESSING...(Olive oil, OJ,grated onion, salt,pepper,hint of garlic, parselytouch of vinegar) put in a blender..our over greens

OPIUM PRICES &WAR,BILLY GRAHAMS ANUS SON

2011-01-20T12:59:00.000-08:00

....PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING FROM AOL NEWS.......THIS IS ONE OF THE MANY REASONS THAT WE NEED TO LEGALIZE DRUGS...THE HIGH PRICES INCREASES THE PRODUCTION...AND KEEPING IT ILLEGAL IS WHY THE PRICES REMAIN HIGH.......AND WHY THERE IS SO MUCH CRIME. THIS CRIME IS BROUGHT TO YOU COMPLIMETNS OF THE AMERICAN OR WORLD WIDE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.....A recent surge in opium prices could encourage Afghan farmers to expand cultivation of the narcotic crop and reverse advances in the fight against drug production in the war-torn country, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime warned today.

The UNODC said a blight that cut poppy production by half in 2010 and continuing military operations in Afghanistan have spawned uncertainty about future cultivation and speculation that there will be shortages, which has led opium prices to soar.

Afghan villagers tend to opium poppies in Helmand province in April 2007. A U.N. report said a drop in opium output in Afghanistan has caused the value to soar."The market responded to the steep drop in opium production with an equally dramatic jump in the market price to more than double 2009 levels," UNODC Executive Director Yury Fedotov said. "If this cash bonanza lasts, it could effectively reverse the hard-won gains of recent years."

Opium prices had steadily declined from 2005 through 2009, as the United States led an international campaign against Afghan's opium production.

LAST NIGHT....SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 1 IN THE MORNING AND 6,,,,I had a dream that was extrememly vivid, and can still replay it in my head. i was in a mends room, having to pee....*inspired by the fact i take 2 water pills each nite...and do wake up usually every hour or two).....Well, I stepped up to the "plate: to accomplish my watering deed, when the ground beneath me started to shake....there were at least two other people in the dreams...(there were waring white shirts and dark pants..only saw their backs.....the room was very old fashiones..white tiles and fixtures and I remember seeing exposed pipes.
i actually felt the vibrations in the dream. i thought that something below wouuld explode and dangerous steam would come out..so i better run out. I then ran up two flights of stiars...old fashion stairs and walls...and reached the outside safely......I remember it seems that it actually took my energy to run up the stairs...as I do in my store...two flights of stairs.
Then I awoke from the stress of the dream although it probably only lasted a few second...it was stressful..and the dream actually shook and i felt it!!!!
In the morning i told my boys about the dream..and that there will be a very big earthquake today or tomorrow...I call dreams with such virations Earthqualke dreams and i am never wrong..i hve been doing this for many many years....And most of the time, i have witnesses....
I went to the computer and found out there were two small ones already that moring..one in TONGA(think that is in the South Seas) and one in Indonesian....but it didnt feel right...I told George it will be a big one.....Then tonight around 5, i checked again...and there is was> Here is the article.. The boys read this too...and said nothing..just shook their head!ISLAMABAD --"""" A major 7.2 magnitude earthquake rocked a remote area of southwestern Pakistan early Wednesday, shaking many parts of the country and causing tremors as far away as India and the United Arab Emirates.

The quake was centered in Baluchistan province, the country's most sparsely populated area, said the United States Geological Service, occurring at 1:30 a.m. local time at a depth of some 50 miles (84 kilometers.""""""""

The last Dream of this kind was different,. I even told JOHN and Glen were it would be. The dream was that Glen and I was doing an antique street Fair in downtown Sufferen NY..when the ground shook. I had the dream I think on a WED night.....we had an auction on FRI, and I sleptin the NEW MILFORD store. After the auction...I was too tired to drive back to WAYNE.. There was a bamboo sofa in the front of the store....its was warm weather..and I dint need a blanket.....I just about passed out...I sort of woke up to shaking and the tinkling of a crystal chandelier......i thought i was dreaming...but i wasnt...I really woke up when RUDY the cat, dug his nails into my chest....I got up, the building (an old boat house) was shaking, and the chandelier was playing a song with its crystals clinking and claning into each other..I new we were having an earthquake...as I predicted.. But this time in the USA..under my own building...usually when i predicted them, they were at least in CALIFRONIA, or across the globe.
I ran outside....it was almost dawn. John had freinds staying over....they wre from PERU, where earthquakes are as common as Friday nite bingo. Carlos said..outloud frm a balcony, "yep, we are having an earth quake... I called the police(I am not sure why..what in hell could they do..just wanted to see if other people felt something or there was some kind of other disaster.....the phone stayed busy for ten min..so that told me...yes, there had been an earthquake.
The Epicent was in NYACK NY......a few miles in a straight line....up rt 59 from Sufferen..So that time, I called the epicenter within a few miles..and in a straight line from there as well.
Then I stopped getting the dreams...(unless Mount Saint Helen was after that..I got both of them....in dreams...I felt the vibrations...and also saw smoke..and although I didnt know about Mount Saint HELENE, I woke p in the iddle of the night, and told those around...about the dream. I said its an earthquake with smoke, so that must make it a volcanoe....Went back to sleep, turned on the news later..and there it was!!!!
MY take on this is that, certain people;s brain and or body, works like a seismagraph. and the vibrations trigger the brain to crate a dream....with feelings..and its the feelings that need to be interpreted???? Sort of like radio waves, vibrations are frequemcies....at a different wave lenght thatn radio, but can be picked up......?????
For years, business has not been good, and other strees just might have dulled the sensitivity needed to feel the vibrations, and create the dreams and remember them...Last week, by spirit was elevated...bsuienss is improving, and the future seems a bit brigher...so maybe i have got back into the condition to get back into the Earthquake detection business. WHO knows. THANK GOD THAT I ALWAYS TOLD PEOPLE BEFORE.....RATHER THAN AFTER IT HAPPEND...THIS WAY THEY KNOW I AM NOT MAKING IT ALL UP.

POLISH SOUP..... WHEN I WAS IN POLAND ABOUT 12 YEARS AGO, I ATE IN A TINY TOWN ON THE ODER RIVER...CALL SUBIZTA. The menu was all in Polish, not even half German, and considering the Restaurant was nly a block from the bridge that crosses the Oder RIver int9 GERMANY....not is surprising.. well, I just point to the waitress, who wore a very crisp starched white and purple uniform......one of my choices was a fabulous thick soup..with a smokey flavor...I tried to recreate it and came pretty close..It was really delicious....TRY this:
Chop up a large potatoe, two carrots, half head of cabbage, one pound of kelibasa int small pieces, cup of chopped celery, two cups of kale leaved chopped, 4 cloves of garlic, teaspoon of sweet paprika, (nopw you can stop there, or continue adding veggies like a cup of cooked beans, a chopped up sweet potatoe, sting beans, tomatoes...etc) You can use water, beef or chicken broth. Add some black pepper and salt to taste, but not until it has cooked(simmered( for at least an hour.... You might like to add some cider vinegar....but not much. When all the veggies are done, thicken the soup with flour or corn starch to your desired thickeness. Add a little cream at the end. serve with thick home made pumpernickle or rye bread(if you can find it) This soup can be a meal in itself. It is increibly flavorfull.. You can add half the amount of sausage...if its not for a main course soup.....

I think Obama should take the President of CHINA..on a tour of the stores that sell the shit that CHINA manufactures...He shuld take him to WALMART and then to a trailer park, where the trailer trash that shops there...live...Then on to TArget, and store that sells all Chinese shit...and then to BOBS FURNITURE.....where all the furntiure is made from CHINESE nuclear waste, and probaly ground up dead Chinese People...or they proces their garbage....grind it up, add formaldyhe, deoderize it...add glue and make it into fake wood...and make the furntiure they advertise, that probably evaporates in sunlight..... From BOBS, they can go to HOME DEPOT and LOWEs and see more CHINESE sHIT...and to most of the clothing stores..where they have CHINESE SHIT fabric and CHINESE shit clothing......The President should take him on a tour of all the CHINESE fecal factories products...that they send us and we send them our good dollars I REALLY HAVE TWO WORDS FOR THAT PRESIDENT....OR IS IT 4 WORDS "MUCKLE HOY DING DING" YOU FIGURE IT OUT... THEN THEY SHOULD SERVE WHITE CASTLE HAMBURGERS...WHICH IS ABOUT THE WORST CRAP THAT I CAN THINK OF....ALTHOUGH, I HAVE TO ADMIT..I EAT THERE AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR....I LIKE THEM!!! WAHT CAN I SAY.?

Martin Luther KING DAY

2011-01-17T06:34:00.001-08:00

i am happy to have lived long enough to witness the sensibility of America, to pay tribute to a MAN who, like MOSes, stood up for his people and the rights of all people...to bring equality to a people, enslaved by prejudice, an invisible shackle, that imprisions, not only african Americans, but the entire country/
He was assasinated not just beccause of his dedication to gain quality, but he was also a peace advocate that was anti Viet NAm. He was not killed by a lone gunman; the lie about that is the same lie, that was used as an excuse in the mureder of JFK,RFK, JOHN LENNON, and other lies that took the life of MARYLIN MONROE. THEY....who ever THEY really are.....are responsible!!!!!Peace just isnt popular with the military industrial complex!!!!!
But MArtin Luther KINGS work is not finished. True equality still hasnt been achieved. The GHETTOS are still filled. Poverty is still running rampant in the black and LAtino communities....While its true that laws have changed, the mind set and hearts of all people have not changed,.Until love and understanding replaces prejudice, his work will not be done.
We have to celebrate all the changes that have been made since his glorious work, we cannot be satified and stop searching for more ways to elevate our awareness who to keeping making positive change.
We now have an African AMeridan President.....which is something i thought I would never see.....so America is making great strides.....The time will come, that we might not even have to make the distinction...that he is AFRICAN AMERICAN....but we just would say..he is an AMERICAN! Then, his MLK's work will be complete.

The little girl who was shot in TUCSON, was spiritual enough at age 9, to donate her organs to others, should she die. SHE did die, and early in her life. But so far, another child;s life has been saved.
In Australia, a 13 year old boy...also, a hero...told rescuers to save his 9 year old brother fro the raging flood waters.....and he was washed away to his death.
Let us hope...let us pray their deaths might not have been in vain, and their heroism will bless the world in the future. THe brother who was saved, and the girl who recieved the organ transplant...just might grow up to give the world something special to change it. Or their children or future generations might produce a president, a scientist whose research might cure a disease, or create some special work of art...or philosphy.......or they might become a teacher, who inspires some or one of their students to become a contributer to society.
At this point, we will never know..the outcome of their sacrifices......already two lives have been saved...and how many more in the future????THis is creative thinking....maybe it come to pass.

i DONT KNOW HER NAME.....BUT THIS WOMAN IS A JOKE, SHE REMINDS ME OF A WORN OUT DOLLY PARTON, WITH PINK HAIR ..IT HAS TO BE A WIG..ITS A MESS...IT SEEMS THERE IS A WIG, WITH ANOTHER WIG ON TOP OF THE OTHER WIG...SHE SOUNDS NOT TO EDUCATED..AND TALKING ALL ABOUT SIN,M AND GOD, AND SEND MONEY AND SEND MONEY......SHE REMINDS ME OF A COUNTRYSINGER WHO DIDNT MAKE IT..SO SHE TURNED TO RELIGION.....HOPE THE PHOTO CAME OUT..SHOT IT OFF THE TV SCREEN.

lOST A GREAT FRIEND, PRESSURE RELIEVED,

THIS IS ONE LONG BLOG...BORROWED!!COMPARES REPUBLICANS &DEMS-&VIOLENCE

2011-01-14T17:24:00.000-08:00

Both sides are, in fact, not "just as bad," when it comes to institutionally sanctioned violent and eliminationist rhetoric.

An anonymous commenter at Daily Kos and the last Republican vice presidential nominee are not equivalent, no matter how many ridiculously irresponsible members of the media would have us believe otherwise.

There is, demonstrably, no leftist equivalent to Sarah Palin, former veep candidate and presumed future presidential candidate, who uses gun imagery (rifle sights) and language ("Don't Retreat, RELOAD") to exhort her followers to action.

There is no leftist equivalent to the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), a group which was created from the mailing list of the old white supremacist White Citizens Councils and has been noted as becoming increasingly "radical and racist" by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which classifies the CCC as a hate group—and is nonetheless considered an acceptable association by prominent members of the Republican Party, including a a former senator and the last Republican presidential nominee.

There is no leftist equivalent to Glenn Beck, host of a long-running nationally syndicated radio show, former host of a show on CNN and current host of a show on Fox, best-selling author, DC rally organizer, and longtime user of eliminationist rhetoric, including equating universal healthcare to rape, joking about victims of forest fires being America-hating liberals, comparing Al Gore to Hitler, condoning the murder of Michael Moore, accusing Holocaust survivor George Soros of being a Nazi collaborator, joking about poisoning Nancy Pelosi, equating immigration reform with burning US citizens alive, publicly endorsing violent revolution, and winkingly telling his viewers not to get violent, all of which amounts to a speck on the tip of a very big iceberg.

There is no leftist equivalent to Ann Coulter, best-selling author and syndicated columnist, who has been a panelist on Fox's Hannity 28 times and was on Hannity & Colmes an additional 18 times, who has been a guest multiple times on The O'Reilly Factor, Geraldo at Large, Larry King Live, Huckabee, Your World with Neil Cavuto, Hardball, and other cable news shows, has made appearances on The Tonight Show, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Daily Show, and Real Time with Bill Maher, and has co-hosted The View, and has also said that a baseball bat is "the most effective way" to talk to liberals, as well as: "We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too." And: "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building." And: "In [Clinton's] recurring nightmare of a presidency, we have a national debate about whether he 'did it,' even though all sentient people know he did. Otherwise there would be debates only about whether to impeach or assassinate."

There is no leftist equivalent to Bill O'Reilly, Fox News television show host, nationally syndicated radio show host, and best-selling author, who has appeared on The Tonight Show eleven times, The Late Show with David Letterman six times, The Daily Show six times, Live with Regis and Kelly five times, The View four times, Good Morning America three times, and Real Time with Bill Maher twice, among other national shows, and has lied about and stalked his critics, said that progressive bloggers should be dealt with "with a hand grenade," said Air America hosts were traitors and should be "put in chains," as well as: "And if Al Qaeda comes [to San Francisco] and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead."

There is no leftist equivalent to Rush "I tell people don't kill all the liberals. Leave enough so we can have two on every campus—living fossils—so we will never forget what these people stood for" Limbaugh, nationally syndicated radio show host and invitee to the Bush White House.

There is no leftist equivalent to Pat "Hitler's success was not based on his extraordinary gifts alone. His genius was an intuitive sense of the mushiness, the character flaws, the weakness masquerading as morality that was in the hearts of the statesmen who stood in his path" Buchanan, a regular MSNBC contributor and syndicated columnist.

There is no leftist equivalent to Michelle "In Defense of Internment: The Case for 'Racial Profiling' in World War II and the War on Terror" Malkin, a regular Fox panelist, best-selling author, and prominent conservative blogger.

There is no leftist equivalent to Pat "The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians" Robertson, host of The 700 Club, who was a guest on Fox's Hannity & Colmes five times.

There is no leftist equivalent to Michael "Howard Dean should be arrested and hung for treason or put in a hole until the end of the Iraq war" Reagan, or Michael "Smallpox in a blanket, which the U.S. Army gave to the Cherokee Indians on their long march to the West, was nothing compared to what I'd like to see done to these people" Savage, both nationally syndicated radio show hosts.

There is no leftist equivalent to the Minutemen and other radical and eliminationist-spewing anti-immigration groups, some of whom have been subcontracted to work the border by the US government.

There is no leftist equivalent to radical and eliminationist-spewing anti-choice groups, who openly target doctors and call for their assassinations—and had a success just last year in the murder of Dr. George Tiller—and whose leaders get featured in whitewashing profiles in the Washington Post.

Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

This is not an argument there is no hatred, no inappropriate and even violent rhetoric, among US leftists. There is.

This is evidence that, although violent rhetoric exists among US leftists, it is not remotely on the same scale, and, more importantly, not an institutionally endorsed tactic, as it is among US rightwingers.

This is a fact. It is not debatable.

And there is observably precious little integrity among conservatives in addressing this fact, in the wake of the attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Palin takes the absolute cake for audaciously asserting that her rifle sight imagery was really "a surveyor's symbol," and not even having the decency to sheepishly acquiesce that, even if that were true (and not evident bullshit), it's understandable how a reasonable person could look at her "surveyor's symbol" alongside the word "target" and get the wrong, ahem, idea. No, it's all just a wall of total denial in the Palin camp, when she's not whining about being a victim herself of people who have the temerity to actually hold her accountable for her carelessly casual violent rhetoric. It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. And then it's deny and play the martyr.

But it's not like Palin's ideological allies are covering themselves in glory, either. There's no call for accountability, no call for reflection, not among conservatives. Just the usual game of deflection and projection, as they desperately try to find a way to make this liberals' fault.

Bill Kristol took to the airwaves this morning to call criticism of Palin "a disgrace" and accuse liberals of "McCarthyism." Commentators on Fox News, meanwhile, blame President Obama for not changing the tone in Washington, like he promised. Which would be hilarious, were that redirection of blame not a key part of conservatives' strategy to dodge responsibility for the eliminationist rhetoric that certainly contributed to the tragic events of this weekend.

When, a few months ago, there was a spate of widely-publicized suicides of bullied teens, we had, briefly, a national conversation about the dangers of bullying. But in the wake of an ideologically-motivated assassination attempt of a sitting member of Congress, we aren't having a national conversation about the dangers of violent rhetoric—because the conversation about bullying children was started by adults, and there are seemingly no responsible grown-ups to be found among conservatives anymore.

Faced with the overwhelming evidence of the violent rhetoric absolutely permeating the discourse emanating from their side of the aisle, conservatives adopt the approach of a petulant child—deny, obfuscate, and lash out defensively.

And engage in the most breathtaking disingenuous hypocrisy: Conservatives, who vociferously argue against the language and legislation of social justice, on the basis that it all "normalizes" marginalized people and their lives and cultures (it does!), are suddenly nothing but blinking, wide-eyed naïveté when it comes to their own violent rhetoric.

They have a great grasp of cultural anthropology when they want to complain about progressive ideas, inclusion, diversity, and equality. But when it comes to being accountable for their own ideas, their anthropological prowess magically disappears.

Only progressives "infect" the culture, but conservative hate speech exists in a void.

That's what we're meant to believe, anyway. But we know it is not true. This culture, this habit, of eliminationist rhetoric is not happening in a vacuum. It's happening in a culture of widely-available guns (thanks to conservative policies), of underfunded and unavailable medical care, especially mental health care (thanks to conservative policies), of a widespread belief that government is the enemy of the people (thanks to conservative rhetoric), and of millions of increasingly desperate people (thanks to an economy totally fucked by conservative governance).

The shooting in Tucson was not an anomaly. It was an inevitability.

And as long as we continue to play this foolish game of "both sides are just as bad," and rely on trusty old ablism to dismiss Jared Lee Loughner as a crackpot—dutifully ignoring that people with mental illness are more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators; carefully pretending that the existence of people with mental illness who are potentially dangerous somehow absolves us of responsibility for violent rhetoric, as opposed to serving to underline precisely why it's irresponsible—it will be inevitable again.

Let's get this straight: This shit doesn't happen in a void. It happens in a culture rife with violent political rhetoric, and it's time for conservatives to pull up their goddamn bootstraps and get to work doing the hard business of self-reflection.

This is one problem the invisible hand of the market can't fix for them—unless, perhaps, it's holding a mirror.

SNOW MELTED, MANY CAME TO THE STORE..NO SALES...SARAH PALIN,NEW RECIPE..ETC

2011-01-12T17:06:00.000-08:00

I WAS SURPRISED, THAT THE SNOW WAS ALL PLOUGH...AND TWO CUSTOMERS ENTERED HERE BEFORE TEN....AND DURING THE DAY, THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY SEEMED SERIOUS, BUT ALAS, NO SALES YET..BUT I THINK A FEW OF THEM WILL RETURN EVENTUALLY AND BUY THINGS...THESE PEOPLE ARE CALLED "BE BACKERS"..I WILL NOT HOLD MY BREATH!!! AND I SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH A FEW OF THESE PEOPLE.....WELL, THAT IS RETAIL!!!!

i AM STILL BURNING THAT THE MORON SARAH...THAT STUPID WOMAN, WHO THINKS SHE IS A STAR....HAD THE NERVE TO MAKE A VIDEO......BLAMING THE MEDIA FOR TUNING AGAINST HER......WHILE WE WILL NEVER KNOW (I DOUBT) THAT THE SHOOTER WAS OR WASNT MOTIVATED BY HER...OR ALL THE HATE THAT JAN BREUER....ARIZONAS ANN COULTER TYPE GOVENOR...STIRRED UP. THE PHOTO OF HIM WITH THE SHAVED HEAD....REALLY MAKES HIM LOOK LIKE AN INSANE WHITE SUPREMICIST.....REALLY CRAZY AND MIGHT NOT HAVE NEED EITHER MISERABLE GOVENOR TO PUSH HIM OVER THE MENTAL CLIFF TO KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE. UNLESS, HE IS A MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE....SET OUT TO KILL THE JUDGE, AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE AN ACCIDENT INSANE PERSON LET LOOSE...THE JUDGE HAD MANY DEATH THREATS BEFORE...BUT NOT BY ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY......WHO WOULD BE THE ONES TO SET LOOSE A MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE.. UNLESS HE WAS TALKED INTO IT BY VARIOUS RANCHERS OR PRIVATE PEOPLE, WHO TOLD THE KID, TO KILL A LOT OF PEOPLE....AND HE WOULDGET OFF ON AN INSANITY PLEA. WHO KNOWS. CONSPIRACY THEORIES.....VERY OFTEN ARE REAL....BEHIND THE SCENES SCENARIOS....REALLY DO HAPPEN....TO COVER UP REALITY.
IS THE KID JUST CRAZY.....OR IS PART OF A LARGER PICTURE....???AND DID LEE HARVEY OSWALD REALLY KILL JFK...?? OF COURSE NOT!!! ITS SIMPLE.....THERE IS A BASIC LAW OF PHYSICS THAT PROVES IT.. "AN OBJECT IN MOTION, CONTINUES IN MOTION (STRAIGHT A HEAD") THE BULLET HIT HIM IN BACK OF THE HEAD..WHERE THE TEXAS BOOK DEPOSPITRY WAS, YET HIS SKULL, FLEW OFF BACKWARDS... IMPOSSIBLE. IT WOULD HAVE GONE FORWARD......WHICH MEANS, HE WAS REALLY SHOT BY A BULLET FROM THE FRONT....IT WAS A CONSPIRACY....AND THE BULLET THAT HIS GOV CONNELLY ALSO WASNT FROM THE REAR AND HIGH!!!!!! WE WERELIED TO THEN, AND WITH MARTIN LUTHER KING, AND BOBBY KENNEDY AND JOHN LENNON.... I WILL QUOTE HIS WIFE, YOKO ONO..."I HAVE TO BE QUIET FOR MY SAFTEY"
all 4 murders were called for by THEM! and are all related.... they all wanted peace and justice. THE IMPLICATIONS ARE REALLY SCARY.

An increidble delicious and quick dinner....PEANUT SAUCE CHICKEN over pasta and peas!!
Most of my recipes are quck cooking using the microwave..because in the store we do not have a stove. Have a cooked chicken ready and cut into pieces, or microwave a chicken breast in a pottery bowl with a little peanut oil...cut into pieces...put a little soy sauce on the chicken and cook till white...

in another pottery bowl, boil water, then put in some angel hair pasta, add a few table spoons of frozen petit peas and cook about 4 minutes..When done...add the cooked chicen pieces....drain and set aside.. Add add a few tablespoon of peanut butter, table spoon of lite soy sauce, clove of garlick, or powdered garlic....add double the amount of water...than peanut butter....microwave peanut butter. garlic, soy sauce and water....for two min..stir...add more water to make it the consistency that you like.

Drain water from chicken, pea and pasta dish....pour over the peanut sauce...stir and eat....Incrediblly delicious. Totaly time about ten minutes. Chopped fresh scallions or chives on top makes it better.
OPTIONS" add some chopped waterchestnuts for a little crunch...and even ground up peanuts.... Instead of CHICKEN...you can use Shrimp,Beef,POrk,TURKEY...or even TOFU....TEN MINUTE GOURMET DINNER.... SERVE WITH SALAD...ADD BEAN SPROUTS TO MAKE IT MORE ASIAN.

WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH, SNOW, NEW POEM, FRIED PINEAPPLE,

2011-01-11T20:13:00.000-08:00

NEW POEM
A haunted phrase circles my head
No good deed goes unpunished
Karma in reverse
perverse
it doesn't make sense
but it holds true
the more you help
extending your hand
extending your heart
playing the role of guardian angel
but not playing
Expecting nothing
no ulterior motive
But punishment always comes
sooner or later
suddenly
painful & unexpected

Now we expect the unexpected
betrayal
we get robbed of our dignity
robbed of our emotions
robbed of our treasures
but we never learn
we cant just say no
to someone in need
we dont heed our inner voice
we seem to have no choice
We are the Red Cross of the soul
the last line of defense of those unfortunates
who have no one else to turn to
when they fall down
then strike us back
when they can stand alone
long enough to use us
as a crutch

THE REVEREND(i DONT THINK HE REALLY IS A MINISTER)FRED PHELPS OF THE WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH...THE ONE WHO PICKETS MARINES FUNERALS(IF THEY WERE GAY) AND OTHER REDICULOUS REASONS..PICKETED THE FUNERAL OF THE LITTLE 9 YEAR OLD YOU WEAS MURDERED IN TUCSON ARIZ THE OTHER DAY.....HE ALSO HATES CATHOLICS....HE SAID GOD WAS HAPPY THAT THESE POPLE WERE KILLED..... THIS MAN IN INSANE, AS ARE HIS FOLLOWERS....AND IT ALSO SHOWS THE COMPOSURE OF HIS OPPONENTS...ITS STILL SURPRISING THAT THIS HATEFUL GROUP HAVENT BEEN SHOT YET...
THE BITCH WITCH GOVENOR OF ARIZONA...WHO IS TRYING TO GET RID OF THE ILLEGAL ALIENS WITH NAZI TECHNIQUES......AND SARAH PALIN...BOTH ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SPREADING HATE....AND INCITING VIOLENT AND ASSASINATION. NOW AT TO THESE TWO WITCHES....GLEN BECK, ANN COULTER AND RUSH LIMBAUGH....(AND ORELILY) YOU HAVE A FORCE WHO SPREADS HATE AND IGNORANCE...AND THEY CONSIDER THEMSELVES GOOD AMERICANS AND GOOD CHRISTIANS.....WHAT A JOKE.

REPUBLICANS DEFENDING SARAH PALIN

2011-01-10T17:14:00.001-08:00

I HAVE BEEN READING POSTS ABOUT PEOPLE REJECTING THE IDEA THAT THIS ASSASINATION ATTEMPT (THAT DID END IN MURDER) OF GIFFORDS.......SARAH PALIN HAD ON HER WEBSITE....PEOPLE WHO SHE TARGETED WITH "TARGETS" CROSS LINES..LIKE YOU SEE IN A GUN SCOPE. GIFFORDS HAD ONE OF THESE TARGETS OVER HER FACE ON SARAH PALINS WEBSITE..WHICH HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN.....
SARAH PALIN IS A HYPOCRITE...WHO WAS ONCE GUNG HO TO HAVE HER STATE ALASKA, SECCEED FROM THE UNION..AND HER HUBBY TODD.....WAS THE HEAD OF THIS SECESSION MOVEMENT.....THEN SHE GOT ELECTED TO BE THE GOV..AND WAS A "REAL AMERICAN"(BULLSHIT)
HER IQ IS LIMITED, AS HER VOCABULARY...AND THOUGHT PROCESS..."YOU BETCHA"
SHE THINKS SHOOTING HELPLESS ANIMALS FROM HELICOPTERS IS HUNTING......SHE IS A HEARTLESS WOMAN, WHO DOENST HAVE THE MENTALITY TO GOVERN ANYTHING..NOT EVEN HER OWN FAMILY......HER EGO NEEDS CONSTANT INFLATING..SHE PUSHED HER DAUGHTER TO BE ON TELEVISION, SHE WROTE A BOOK THAT SAID REALLY NOTHING, HER TV PROGRAM IS NOT THAT INTERESTING....NICE PHOTOS..BUT HER VOICE IS ENOUGH TO NEED TO RUN FOR A VIAGRA.....
SHE AND HER HUSBAND HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF MANY WRONG DOINGS...IE...CORRUPTION......
SHE SHOULD BE SILENCED.....IN A POLITICAL WAY. I AM NOT CALLING FOR ANYTHING ILLEGAL OR IMMORAL. THE ONLY GOOD THING I CAN SAY FOR HER...IS SHE IS ATTRACTIVE LOOKING....BUT EVIL,STUPID AND SHALLOW.....GOD FORBID, IF SHE EVER RAN FOR PRESIDENT AND WON....I WOULD GRAB UNDERWEAR AND SOCKS AND RUN FOR MY LIFE TO ANY FOREIGN COUNTRY..EXCEPT THE SUDAN, SOMALIA, OR ANY ARABIC COUNTRY.......

SARAH PALIN CAUSED THE ASSASINATION YESTERDAY-CONSPIRACY STARTS

2011-01-09T08:16:00.000-08:00

THE MENTALLY ILL HYPOCRITE SARAH PALIN, WHO IS OUT ONLY FOR HER OWN EGO.....WHOSE HUSBAND WAS LEADING THE POLITICAL PARTY TO SECCEED(ALASKA) FROM THE UNION......UNTILL THE BITCH BECAME GOV OF ALASKA......IS THE PROBABLE CAUSE OF YESTERDAYS MASSACRE IN ARIZONA.
SHE HAD TOLD PEOPLE TO "RELOAD" AFTER THE ELECTION WHEN THE TEA PART WON A LOT OF SEATS....AND SHE PUBLISHED PHOTOS OF DEMOCRATS.....WHO WERE TARGETED...YES, SHE PUBLISHED THEM WITH THOSE CIRCLES WITH CROSS HAIRS.......JUST ABOUT TELL PEOPEL TO GO OUT AND SHOOT OPPONENTS. SHE HAS NO PROBABLEM ADMITTING TO KILLING ANIMALS....SHOOTING FROM HELICOPTORS....AND NOW REAL HUMANS ARE BEING TARGETED. THIS IS A VERY GOOD REASON FOR HER TO BE SHUT UP .....LEGALLY. HER WEBSITE ADVOVATING THE "TARGETING" HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN. NOW SHE MUST BE ELIMINATED FROM THE POLITICAL SCENE...LEGALLY
SHE WAS MY INSPIRATION TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT.....(IN THEORY AT LEAST)...I WILL FORGTE ADEAD NOW WITH MY RESEARCH AND YOU TUBE VIDEOS ...SPEECHS AND STATISTICS OF WHAT I THINK AMERICA NEEDS TO COME OUT OF THE SLUMP WE ARE IN POLITICALLY, ECONOMICALLY, EMOTIONALLY....AND SPIRITUALLY.

2011-01-07T23:05:00.000-08:00

The world is quiet
the snow cushions the outside world
insulating,covering, coating, and blanketing all
under its magical white spell
quieting
making the entire world
soundless like a giant frosted library
dulling, muting
nothing to hear but our own beating hearts
and inner voices
giving us time to think
ponder, and meditate
on things that are important

WHILE THE ABOVE IS NOT A POEM, THOSE WORDS FORMED...SORT OF CREATIVELY....AS I SAT IN THE STORE....NOT FEELING THAT I WANTED TO WORK, NOR IN EXPECTATION OF CUSTOMERS AS THE SECOND STORM OF THE SEASON WAS UPON US....AND I LIKE TO SHARE MY WORDS AND THOUGHTS WITH EVERYONE.

THERE IS ANOTHER POEM....BUT IT IS IN THE EMAIL OF ANOTHER SCREEN NAME..SO I WILL POST IT LATER OR TOMORROW.....ITS ABOUT ALL GOOD DEEDS NEVER GO UNPUNISHED........

TONIGHT, I WENT FROM THE TALKING STAGE OF RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT AND MAKING A DOCUMENTARY...FILM... THE CONCEPT IS THAT IS A MORON LIKE SARAH PALIN RAN FOR VICE PRESIDENT AND MIGHT RUN FOR PRESIDENT, I AM MUCH MORE INTELLIGENT, CREATIVE, EDUCATED THAN SHE, HAVE A BETTER SENSE OF HUMOR, AND HAVE BEEN STUDYING POLITICS LONGER THAN SHE IS ALIVE (OR CLOSE TO IT) AND I DONT SHOOT HELPLESS ANIMALS FROM A HELICOPTER...AND I CANT SEE RUSSIA FROM MY BEDROOM WINDOW. "YOU BETCHA"
i SPENT A FEW HOURS ON MY FIRST FOUR PAGES OF SUBJECT MATTER TO HAND OUT TO MY CAMPAIGN WORKERS, WHO WILL BE "INTERNS" FROM VARIOUS COLLEGES, STUDENTS WHO ARE IN POLITICAL SCIENCE, HISTORY......OR ANYONE WITH BRAINS TO DO THE RESEARCH THAT i AM ASKING FOR....SO THAT WHEN I MAKE MY YOU TUBE VIDEOS, I WILL HAVE MORE STATISTICS THAN THE AVERAGE POLITICIAN ON MANY SUBJECT THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE......TONIGHT I GATHERED AN OUTLINE ON INFRASTRUCURE, OUTSOURCING, UNEMPLOYMENT, SOURCES OF ENERGY AND THEIR AVAILABILTY, EFFECT ON THE ATMOSPHERE, DANGETR TO THE PUBLIC (NUCLEAR) HOW ALL OF THE ABOVE IMPACTS TAXES......MANUFACTURING AND THE LACK OF IT AND HOW TO REINSTATE OUR SUPERIORITY OF THE FIELD......AND fINANTIAL IMPLICATIONS OF MAKING DRUGS LEGAL, TAXING THEM, AND TAKING THE CRIME OUT OF THE COUNTRY....BUILDING MORE REHABS AND HOSPITALS THAN JAILS, AND TAKING THE BURDEN OFF THE TAX PAYER....ITS IMPACT ON INSURANCE RATES, ETCETC. THE FOUR PAGES ARE JUST THE OUTLINE. IT WILL TRANSLATE INTO HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PAGES OF INFORMATION......AND THEN IT MUST BE CONDENSED INTO "TALKS" THAT WILL NOT BE BORING...EASILY UNDERSTOOD...AND EACH SUPJECT UNDER TEN MINUTES.
AND IF ANY OF YOU DIDNT THINK I WAS TAKING THIS THING SERIOUSLY.....YOU KNOW KNOW I DO.
THE OUTCOME OF ALL OF THIS...WILL BE EDUCATING MANY PEOPLE. IT WOULD TAKE A MIRACLE IF AN ORDINARY PERSON, WHO IS NOT RICH, NOT CONNEDTED TO ANY MAJOR OIL COMPANY OR BANKS, CREDIT CARD COMPANIES....OR MILLIONAIRES OR BILLIONAIRES..COULD EVEN RUN...YET WIN...... BUT WITH THE INTERNET, IT IS POSSIBLE TO WAGE A CAMPAIGN...AND REACH MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ON YOU TUBE, FACEBOOK....MY SPACE, TWITTER. AND A HALF A DOZEN MORE SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES.
I CAN SHARE MY PHILOSOPHY.......AND MAYBE GET A FEW THOUSAND VOTES...HEY, MAYBE A FEW HUNDRED THOUSAND...WHO KNOWS...BUT AS AN EX TEACHER......I WANT TO EDUCATE....THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MAKES THIS COUNTRY AND THE WORLD TICK. THEY HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT GOVERNMENT.....STATISTICS OF ANYTHING......ESPECIALLY THE YOUNGER PEOPLE, WHO HAVE THEIR IPODS STUCK INTO ONE EAR, AND THEIR CELL PHONE UP CLOSE TO THE OTHER ONE, AND TWITTER EACH OTHER IF THEY FART.

TODAY, DESPITE MOTHER NATURE TRYING TO SCREW BUSINESS....I TOOK IN 650 DOLLARS..NOT BAD FOR A BLIZZARD......AND I WAS VERY HAPPY.!!

I GOT CAUGHT UP WITH A FIGHT ON FACEBOOK..CONCERNING MIKE VICK AND HIS PIT BULL DOG FIGHTING CAPER...HOW HE RAN THE FIGHTS, MADE A FORTUNE, AND WHEN HE WAS DONE WITH THE DOGS, BEAT THEM TO DEATH....SOME, HE EVEN THREW IN THE GARBAGE WHILE THEY WERE STILL ALIVE.... SO HE SERVED TWO YEARS IN JAIL, NOW HE IS BACK IN THE LIMELIGHT A FOOTBALL HERO. I THING HE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A SCRIMINAL SCUM BAG, THAT SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN LIFE IN PRISON. AND OBAMA, REALLY PISSED ME OFF BY SAYING ITS GOOD HE WAS GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE... SORRY BARRACK....HERE IS ONE CASE WE DO NOT AGREE....HE IS A FOOTBALL PLAYER, WHO SHOULD BE AN ICON FOR CHILDREN......WHAT IS THE MESSAGE, YOU CAN DO HORRIBLE THINGS..AND PAY A SMALL PENALTY IF YOU ARE FAMOUS??????WRONG MESSAGE. YES, CERTAIN PEOPLE DO DESERVE A SECON CHANCE...BUT NOT A CRUEL RUTHLESS ANIMAL KILLER..WHO YOUNG KID S WILL LOOK UP TO.
SO I WAS ARGUING WITH ONE SCHMUCK.....WHO THINK HE PAID HIS DEBT TO SOCIETY...WITH TWO YEARS.....HE CALLED ME AN IDIOT, A MORON, UNEDUCATED....AND A FEW OTHER NASTY NAMES...BUT I STOOD UP TO THIS GUY, WHO I THINK HAS A FEW SCREWS LOOSE, BUT I REFRAINED FROM HORRIBLE NAME CALLING..SO FAR.

GLEN, ONE OF THE MAIN MEMBERS OF OUR CAST OF CHARACTERS HERE AT GRANNYS ATTIC, UDNERWENT PAINFUL SPINAL SURGERY MONDAY.....AND THE ASSHOLES IN VALLEY HOSPITAL SENT HIM HOME THAT NIGHT.....I AM SURE THEY ARE BEING PUSHED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANIES....WHO NEED AN AMERICAN AL QUEDA GROUP TO TEACH THEM A FEW LESSONS..IN HUMAN KINDNESS, VERSUS PROFIT.. THEY WANT TO COLLECT THEIR PREMIUMS BUT DO NOT WANT TO PAY OUT.

BECAUSE OF NAFTA AND OTHER TREATIES. THE UNITED STATES IS ABLE TO DUMP OUR EXCESS FRUITS AND VEGGIES....GROWN HERE....(ALSO GRAIN AND OTHER THINGS) SOUTH OF THE BORDER. WE CAN SELL THEM VEYR CHEAP IN MEXICO AND FUTHER SOUTH.... WHAT DOES THIS DO TO THE MEXICAN ECONOMY??? WELL FOR ONE THING, THEIR FARMERS NEED TO GROW LESS...AND HIRE LESS PEOPLE.......SO WHAT DO THE JOBLESS PEOPLE DO.....SNEAK ACROSS THE BORDER TO WORK IN AMERICA......SO WHEN ALL THE AMERICANS ARE BITCHING AND MOANING ABOUT THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, PART OF THE PROBLEM...IS OUR DUMPING OUR PRODUCTS ON THEM..SO IN EFFECT....SOME OF THIS MIGRATION IS OUR FAULT......WE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THESE TREATIES...WERE SIGNED...AND IT STARTED EFFECTING THEIR EMPLYMENT... THINK BACK WHEN THE ILLEGALS STARTED COMING..RIGHT AFTER THE TREATIES WERE SIGNED......BUT WE DO NOT LET THE GENRAL PUBLIC KNOW THIS...DO WE...THEN WE CANNOT HAVE ANOTHER GROUP TO USE AS SCAPE GOATS.....YOU CAN THANK CLINTON AND THE BUSHES...FOR THIS...

AND FINALLY FOR TONIGHT.....I TRIED TO CORRECT MY SPELLING AND TYPING ERRORS, BUT AFTER I USED SPELL CHECK, MOST OF THE MISTAKES RETURNED. SORRY..

NEW ORLEANS FIRE KILL 8- HOMELESS

2010-12-29T06:28:00.000-08:00

SINCE KATRINA, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY HOMELESS IN NEW ORLEANS...THE 8 PEOPLE WHO WERE KILLED IN THE WAREHOUSE FIRE, VERY WELL MIGHT BE VICTIMS OF KATRINA......WHILE, WE SPEND BILLIONS OF KEEPING A HOPELESS WAR GOING, THAT BANKRUPTED THE COMMUNISM REGINE OF RUSSIA, WE CANNOT FIND MONEY TO REBUILD OUR OWN CITIES, AND PROTECT OUR OWN PEOPLE FROM THE ENEMY OF HUNGER AND HOMELESSNES.
WHILE WE HAVE TO REMAIN STONG MILITARILY, WE DO NOT HAVE TO PAY HALEBURTON TO RUN THE WAR FOR US AND PAY THEM BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, SOME OF WHICH CANNOT EVEN BE ACCOUNTED FOR.....I WONDER HOW YOU CAN LOOSE A FEW BILLIONS DOLLARS??? DOENST SOUND VERY KOSHER TO ME.

i DONT AGREE WITH OBAMA ON A FEW ISSUES

2010-12-28T07:57:00.001-08:00

ALTHOUGH,I STILL SUPOPRT MOST OF THE THINGS THAT OBAMA IS TRYING TO DO.....I DONT AGREE WITH HIM FOR PRIASING THE REINSTATEMENT OF MICK VICK...THE FOOTBALL PLAYER THAT WAS RIASING PIT BULLS AND ORGANIZING DOG FIGHTS....I DO NOT THINK ONE WHO WAS CONVICTED OF ANIMAL CRUELTY SHOULD BE IN THE HEROS SPOTLIGHT AGAIN. HE IS EVIL...AND DOESNT DESERVE THE HERO WORSHIP OR THE MILLIONS HE WILL BE GETTING...SORRY OBAMA, THIS IS THE WRONG CALL.
THIS ISNT ONE OF THOSE ISSUES TO FORGIVE AND FORGET!!! AND I ALSO DONT AGREE..WITH HIS HEALTH CARE INITIATVE THAT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE YOU CAN BE FINED....POOR PEOPLE WHO CANNOT PAY FOR INSURANCE. CANNOT AFFORD IT..OR THEY WOND EAT...OR PAY RENT ETC... THIS IS WRONG. THE RIGHT THING WOULD BE SOCIALIZED MEDICINE......WHERE THEY COULD GET CHEAP MEDICAL CARE..BUT OF COURSE THE REPUBLICANS......WOULDNT VOTE ON IT....BECAUSE...THE REPUBLICANS ARE THE ONES THAT RUN INSURANCE COMPANIES......

SITITNG HERE WAITING FOR THE BLIZZARD, XMAS EVEN AND DAY

2010-12-26T08:19:00.000-08:00

SITITNG HERE....WAITING FOR THE STORM TO START....WITH A PROMISED 8 TO 16 INCHES.....ANOTHER DAY OF DEAD BUSINESS...XMAS ON A SATURDAY IS A BUSINESS DEATH SENTENCE.....we had the very worst "XMAS EVE " in the history of my store" EVERYONE IS AT THE ALL..... socks ,shirts, undewear and electronics.....
Then Xmas EVE..my wonderful friend BARBARA had her annual Holiday party.....her house is Victorian, some of th ewalls are painted read...filled with mirrors, fireplaces tat were burning, candles, lots of mirrors....all the rooms decorated with swags of pine, red ribbons and bows.....and candies, and fruits and nuts everywhere.....a pastry table with a dozen different choices was a high caloric decoration and in the middle of it was her annual XMAS PUNCH...with sorbet, blueberries floating on top.....and it was delicious ..Two glasses and on eis in orbit!!! The food was obscene!!! Unlimited giant shrimp cocktail.....Italian pasta with chrimp, home made sausage and meat balls and two types of pasta dishes....hummus.....tuns, crab, and other dips, drinks...and on and on and on...I was so full, I crashed on the sofa....I awaoke in the morning and had pancakes and bacon......a very good XAMS... The warmth of all her friends and assoicated radiated thru the house..Everyone was friendly, except one beautiful but very jealous girlfriend of one man at the party......she hid in one of the bedrooms, taking notes on all the gifts..(didnt make sense) later on she hit another woman with her pocket book,,,,,when she gave her business card to her boyfriends..who...had a business relationship(and nothing more) to discuss....This same jealous woman....has a daughter who has been committed twice to an institution.....once was for trying to attack her with a kitchen knife......which who knows, might have been diserved? It was a mini soap opera.
The snow has started......about 20 min utes ago..and soon, we will be blanketed with white......We already lost a few weeks of business, due to XMAS..Everyone was at the mall...then We lost Saturday for XMAS itself, today SUNDAY, and I am sure tomorrow MONDAY will also be a lost day...The business this years ahas been probably the worst in history.
After haring about"THE MANOR" IN WEST ORANGE FOR MOST OF MY LIFE... I finally got the opportunity to go there.. We partook in the XMAS buffet....The building is like a real ENGLISH MANOR>.....inspired catering hall. The walls were paneled walnut with carvings....the furniture mostly real antique marble top and inlaid furntiure....French Gilded curios..with chachkas in it....Built in and illuminated cabinets with glass and china being shown off in all its glory. Reall oil paintings, Venitian and gilded mirros.. suprer elegant silver serving pieces, chafing dishes.......a huge life size ice carving of three reindeer and a sleigh.....three huge gingerbread houses that were edible....the the eniture place was decorated for Xmas...with many trees, the entre place swagged with ribbons and bows, and pine tree ropes.......
Sometimes people can get just too elegant. The served caviar in a container made of ice...it was the size of a brick, and then one side came up 8 inches over the brick....the caviar sat in the brick and the entire ice container lite up. Not sure how they did it..it glowed..there must be a batter powered lite inside the ice brick...it was amazing looking...but the price for the must have been almost as amazing......and caviar....i have had the best..and still i wasnt impressed. it was still fish eggs....and tasted a bit fish...with onions, and egg..on some kind of special bread..and downed with a bit of RUSSIAN VODKA. a friend of mine has acquired a large can of IRANIAN Caviar....i think she said it was then 400 bucks..and we ate it all. It was ok, although, this may make me sound like a peasant.....I would rather have had a good pizza. In 20 minutes....what ever magic is within the caviar...I found my self running to the bathroom......the fish eggs had the same properties as a laxative.....thank you very much...from here on in, i will not eat caviar ever again!
Now on to the buffet... OYSTERS....unlimited....and I love them. Unlimited large shrimp cocktail..all kinds of seafood salads.....Lox , two different varieites.....Paiella with lots of real lobster, sea food NEWBERG with real NEWBERG(shrimp,scallops and lobster, Sea BAss rolls filled with lobster and shrimp....sushi, and many kinds of other salalds,veggies, GREAT creame of Mushroom Soup, Lobster Bisque...an ITALIAN table filled with Veggetarian casseroles.Eggplant rollatini, tortellinas,,etc.....rack of lamp, roast beef, ham, turkey, Chicken florentine,All types of green salads and dressings, veal meat balls, short ribs of beef,.....and so on and so forth.....untill....looking made you more full....later on when I could not take another bite, they came out with an entiure poached salmon covered with mayonaise and dill.......and that is one of my favorites..but unfortunately, it came out after I finished dessert.
Speaking of desserts.....there were three tables filled.....the best of all was the home made raspberry and lemon sherbert....and as pretty as all the cakes and pastries and creme filled things, and flans, pies, etc.. I somehow was either too full, but i didnt really appreciate the tastes....they had a tureen filled iwth hot bread pudding and another filled iwth hot apple compote.....none of which overwhelmed me.. There were lots of little pastires with fresh fruit in them of all different kinds.....I tasted a few...but I devoured the ices...
Everyone was complaining they ate too much.....I wonder why.....we pay a lot of money to go and eat and then leave uncomfortable/ i guess its human nature...we love the taste of good food, we desire an elegant place, and because its delicious and unlimited..we tend to stuff outselves to get the most value...and it taste so good. Now i understand why at the ROMAN BANQUETS in the time of the Cezars they had a room called the VOMITORIAM....where people went to throw up....after they over ate..so they could go on eand eat more and more and more...
What is not mentioned..is the room they went to, after they had their ROMAN ORGIES, othe ORGASMATORIAM, where they went to recharge their batteries....
I had cooked for and advertised a buffet for today.......to get customers to come shop. I cooked Hungarian CHICKEN PAPRIKASH, Indian Butter Chicken......and was going to make Raviolis in homemade sauce, and hard boiled eggs in a homeade Tarragon/Dill mayonaisse...and a few other things, but the headlines of an on coming storm........I only prepared the first two chicken dishes.....I thought that no one owuld come at all and taste my delicasies..but there are a couple here now who did eat the food..and liked it.....

My expanded ideas about running for president..has taken a slight new turn. If I can get help, not only will I produce the presidential CAMPAIGN, as if it was real....(well it is real, and if by some insance twist of faith, it actually happened, I would accted the job....but with a budget on ZERO, and only the internet...to start off.....it is unlikey I will get more than noticed....but life is strange YOU NEVER KNOW!!!
bUT i WOULD LIKE TO FILM THE ENTIRE PROCESS. NOT JUST THE YO TUBE SPEECHES, BUT ME WITH PEOPLE WORKING WITH ME.....THE KIDS FROM THE COLLEGE,,,AS i EXPLAIN TO THEM WHAT i AM TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.. WORKING ON WRITING SPEECHS.....MEETINGS WITH"ADIVORS"....AND IT COULD BE COME AN INDEPENDENT FILM, NOT JUST A CAMPAIGN....

PAT ROBERTSON MUST HAVE READ BY BLOG..HE AGREES WITH ME!!!

2010-12-23T21:14:00.001-08:00

I AM WRITING A SCRIPT FOR ONE OF MY YOU TUBE VIDOES WHEN I START MY PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN......AGAINST SARAH PALIN!!! ONE OF THE THINGS I MENTIONED IN PAST BLOGS AND MY SCRIPT IS ABOUT LEGALIZING DRUGS....AND SERIOUSLY GOOD REASONS.....ONE THE CRIMINALIZATION RUINS THE LIVES OF MANY PEOPLE......WHO ARE NOT CIRMINALS...BUT BECAUSE THEY SMOKED A LITTLE POT..SOME STATES STILL CAN GIVE THEM 10 YEARS....THEY COME OUT HARDEN CRIMINALS, SOME DIE THERE...KILLED,RAPED OR COMMIT SUICIDE, WHILE COSTING THE TAXPAPERS A FORTUNE.
I WILL GO INTO MUCH DETAIL AND STATISTICS....BUT READ THE FOLLOWING....WRITTEN BY THE "PAT ROBERTSON."FOUND OF THE CHRISTIAN COALITION AND THE 700 CLUB.

."We're locking up people that take a couple of puffs of marijuana and the next thing you know they've got 10 years -- they've got mandatory sentences and these judges, they throw up their hand and say "What can we do? It's mandatory sentences." We've got to take a look at what we're considering crimes, and that's one of 'em. I mean, I'm not exactly for the use of drugs, don't get me wrong. But I just believe criminalizing marijuana, criminalizing the possession of just a few ounces of pot, and that kind of thing, I mean it's costing us a fortune, and it's ruining young people. The young people go into prisons, they go in as youths, and they come out as hardened criminals, and it's not a good thing

cAN THIS BE THE SAME pAT rOBERTSON WE KNOW AND LOVE(HATE?) hE MUST HAVE BEEN REDING MY BLOG.....IF HE IS THINKING THE WAY I DO...MY GOD.....THE CHRISTIAN COALITION MIGHT EVEN LISTEN TO OTHER THINGS I WILL SAY.....AND BROADCAST ON YOU TUBE......

DADT, Russian ARMS TREATY,Pumplin SOUP(instant)pAMCREATIC CANCER SURVIVOR

2010-12-22T21:31:00.000-08:00

WELL NOW, CIVIL RIGHTS FOR GAY PEOPLE IN THE ARMY HAS HIT A NEW HIGH..PEOPLE WHO WANT TO PROTECT THEIR COUTNRY....CAN DO IT....AND STILL BE WHO THEY ARE AND NOT AFRAID THAT THEIR CARRER CAN BE RUINED IF SOMEONE FINDS OUT... I PERSONALLY DO NOT THINK THAT EVERYONWWILL BE COMNING OUT OF THE CLOSET...BUT THEIR FEAR JSUT WONT EXIST...AND IT WILL BE BETTER FOR THE ARMY ITSELF.... and.....I dont think that eveyrone will be jumping out of clsoets and putting their life story on the line to everyone......Only people can condife in freinds....without worrying...So Obama keeps another promise.

Now the treatywith RUSSIA that deals with NUCLER WEAPONS has been passed. Now each country isonly allowed 1500 nuclear war heads...that sould be enough for both of use to blow up half the world.....instead of the entire world...The concept that this is a treaty is a joke.....

Its about time....that are idiots in Washington agred to take care of the heros of 9/11. They gie their all.......and we send money to IRAQ and Afganisant...and give money to other countries while the heros were sick and dying...took those bastards 9 years....its disgusting....but at least they did pass it.....but how many people died and got sicker in the mean time.

I am not doing more research into the war in AFGANISTAN....I knew we started it to supposedly get even with the terrorists who caused 9/11 ,but now it comes to light..that they have over a trilion dollars worth of LITHIUM...whichis notonly used for bipolar medication......but its needed in medical hi tech equipment....and in NAVIGATIONAL EQUIPMENT...for airplanes, rockets etc...and we need it to maintain our status as a world power....and we dont want anyone else to get it.......The only way forus to get world acceptance in starting a war there, was to retaliate....after AFGAN based terrorists blew up the WTC.....and all Americans would be in agrement to bomb the helloutof them.....while we are there stealing their natural resources.
But its possible,this might have been needed to remain a strong country.....so I am doing research..lets see what I will find.

ALMOST INSTAND GOURMET PUMPKIN SOUP.....CHOP AN ONION VERY FINE AND SAUCE UNTIL SOFT.puT IN A LARGE CAN OF PUMPKIN PIEFILLING,ADD ONE CAN OF WATER(MILK OR HALF AND HALF) THEN ADD SALT AND BLACK FRESH GROUND PEPPER TO TASTE, CINNAMON AND NUTMEG....ADD SUGAR OR SPLENDA TO TASTE. SIMMER BUT DO NOT BOIL...FOR 15 MIN TO LET FLAVORS BLEND. QUICK AND SIMPLE.
YOU CAN USE FRESH PUMPKIN OR VARIOUS SQUASHES....PEEL AND BOIL UNTIL SOFT...AND PUT IN A FOOD PROCESSOR..THEN CONTINUE THE ABOVE RECIPE.... SIMPLE AND DELISHOUS...
oNE OF MY CUSTOMERS TOLDMETODAY,...THATHEHAS pANCREATIC CANCER....FOR 2.5 YEARS..HEIS ON CEMOTHERAPHY......AN EXPERIMENTAL CONCOCTION..... and he has beaten theodds...usully the longest a patient can live is 6 months...this mans looks fine, maybe a little pale, and his attitude is good....he is full of smiles and hope.
We are having snaks the gday after XMAS,and a buffet and sale the FISTof the YEAR>........come visit....we must sell off a huge amount of stuff...to get ready to pay TAXES!!! OY!

SEPARATION OF CHURCH & STATE, REGARLESS OF WHICH RELIGION....

2010-12-20T11:43:00.001-08:00

A WOMAN DIED FROM BEING "CANED" IN BANGLADESH.....FOR ADULTERY. IF SHE WAS GUILTY OR NOT ISNT THE QUESTION HERE. THE MUSLIM RELIGION IS BARBARIC.....TO BEAT A WOMAN TO DEATH FOR A MORALITY CRIME.....IS SICK, AND EVIL. AND ONE OF THE MUSLIM CLERICS WAS THE ONE WHO BEAT HER.

THE DANGER OF RELIGIOUS LAW AND LAW OF THE LAND,,,BEING COMBINED IS PREVALENT...WHEN BASED ON SUPERSTITION, AND RELGIOUS BELIEFS FROM ANCIENT TIMES. THE PEOPLE OF THE PLANET SHOULD HAVE BEEN FREE FROM THIS NONSENSE BY NOW.

IF THEY BEAT A CRIMINAL WHO HARMED ANOTHER INDIVUDUAL...OR COMMITTED A REALLY SERIOUS CRIME IS ONE THING...BUT TO BEAT AND HAVE A PERSON DIED FOR HAVING SEX..THAT WAS CONSENSUAL AND OF PROPER AGE....IS INSANE. THE CLERIC, NOW WHO IS RESPONISBEL FOR THIS MURDER, SHOULD BE BEATED IN PUBLIC....(AN EYE FOR AN EYE) AND THEN BE IMPRISIONED. WE DO NOT NEED RELIGOUS LEADER OF THIS MENTALITY.

THEY USED TO HAVE WITCH HUNTS IN EARLY NEW ENGLAND...AND THIS WAS BASED ON RELIGOUS BELIEFS. STILL IN SOME COUNTRIES THEY WILL KILL A HOMOSEXUAL , AND IN OTHERS IMPORSION THEM FOR 20 YEARS. MOST OF THE CRIMES BASED ON RELIGOUS BULLSHIT...IS FROM THE MUSLIM RELGION....BUT OTHER LAWS COME DOWN FROM JUSDAISM AND CATHOLICISM....ARE STILL SEVERLY REPRESSIVE.

DID YOU KNOW THAT LITHIUM, COMES FROM AFGANTISTAN...AND THEY HAVE OVER A TRILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF IT...WHICH IS NEEDED BY NOT ONLY THE MEDICAL PROFESSION, BUT BY OUR INDUSTRIAL MILITARY COMPLEX. IT IS VERY NECESSARY FOR US TO HAVE THIS NATURAL RESOUCE TO REMAIN A SUPER POWER....SO DOES THIS SURPRISE YOU THAT WE HAVE THIS WAR IN AFGANISTAN??????? I THINK INSTEAD OF SPENDING ALL THE MONEY ON KILLING PEOPLE...WE SHOULD PROMISE THEM A BETTER INFRASTRUCTURE.... THEY NEED ROADS, ELECTRIC, MORE QUIPMENT TO RAISE CROPS, HOUSING, ......FEED THE PEOPLE, BUILD SCHOOLS..HELP THEM, NOT KILL THEM. SOUNDS EASY? NOT AT ALL. THIS WOULD TAKE A HUGE AMOUNT OF TACT, AND EDUCATION... AND MAN POWER... BUT IT COULD BE DONE...THEN WE COULD GET WHAT WE WANT AND HELP THE PEOPLE AS WELL.
BUT MAYBE THEY TRIED AND THE TALIBAN AND ALQUEDA SAID NO? THE PEOPLE DIDNT WANT US THEIR. i AM ONLY ANALYZING THIS WITHOUT RESEARCH..AND WIL RESEARCH TELL US THE TRUTH? i DOUBT IT..... A TRILLION DOLLARS IS A LOT OF MONEY ISNT IT?

OIL thieves//freinds of BUHS??? get probation...what a joke

2010-12-19T20:10:00.000-08:00

"Two Texas oil company officials were sentenced to probation in September for their roles in the sale of petroleum products stolen from Mexico."

The above two sentences are "cut and paste" from an article from AOL...about theives stealing ten percent of MEXIOS OIL...and two TEXAS oil company officials were only given probabtion for stealing millions of dollars in oil? What the hell is going on here......they must have had political intervention....TEXAS and OIL..HMMMM the BUSH family..... Take a kid form the ghetto, and he steals some stuff from a grocery store...he might get hard time in jail......or maybe probation if he is lucky. BUT OIL COMPANY EXECUTIVE only get probation for the premeditated theft and sales of millions of dollars worth of oil......NO, they should have been shot!!!! Seems the rich can get away with anything...especially if in TEXAS and the oil business.
Excuse me while I go and puke.!

nOTHING VERY EXICITING HAPPENED,BUT.......

2010-12-18T06:43:00.000-08:00

I LISTEN AND READ THE NEWS.....AND CERTIAN THINGS BOTHER ME...LIKE THE POLICE CHASED A CAR JACKER.....IN WEST ORANGE...AT HIGH SPEED...INTO EAST ORANGE....YESTERDAY...AND THE THEIF LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR..AND JUMPED THE CURB AND KILLED AN INNOCENT 63 YEAR OLD MAN INFRONT OF A CHURCH HE ATTENDED.....(not for you religous nuts, where was GOD???at this time)......
What I ask....should these high speed and dangerous chases be allowed to continue...gun battles can also come out of these.....NO!. A stolen car can be recovered and insurance pay the owner.....that is a better way to solve a situation like this.....Many people get killed in cross fire....and a life is worth more than a car. YES the man is a criminal....but common sense says these chases are ok on television..not in reality....(just an opinion)

On Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn, police found 4 bodies in one area.....on the news..now into the fourth day..A police spokesperson on the radio said that, the bodies are not that of a missing NJ prostitute...and its possible, the bodies are unrealted to each other and its a coincidence...(yeah right) 4 bodies in one spot and its a coindicence) Next the police might say that the EASTER BUNNY might have left them there....Please...4 bodies...in the same spot...and its NOT A SERIAL KILLER?"

In the recipe department...here is another crazy lower calorie soup I made last night....filling...and not too fattening.. Can of string beans, large can of diced tomatoes, one can of tomatoe paste 1/4 cup or less of Red Wine VInegar, carroway seeds, tyme, basil, one chopped onion(large) cup or more of any kind of lettuce, salt and pepper, Worstershire Sauce to tase..... a little lemon rind grated, 1/2 cup chopped celery....and as much fresh garlic as you like!!!! Simmer for an hour.....ENJOY Its tasty filling...and low on calories. YOu can eliminte the green beans to make it less caloric...

In the NEW year, when I start my Campaign for PRESIDENT...running against SARAH PALIN.....I might shave after 40 years....wear a suit and a tie...and look more respectible.(GOD FORBID) and although, I dont expect anything more than controversy, maybe a scandle or two.....I will beable to get my ideas across, which really are not that radical at all....
I am reading the news all the time....and process the information in the portein based computer in my head... what is needed in the country (or the world) Part of it is just plain logic.... The simple basics: Food, Shelter, Medical Care....and how we can improve those three basics. But its not simple....It is very complex. Take food for example.. Mega corporations have taken over farming. They have created their own seeds and patented them...so other s have to pay dearly for them. They have created seeds that grow plants..that have not seeds that can be replanted...there fore FARMERS WORLD WIDE, have to buy fresh seeds the following year, rather than use a portion of their crop for seed for the following year. This has caused many farmers to go out of business, for they cant afford seed every year..WHen they go out of business, the large foood conglomerated, buy up the land....and then, can raise the price of food staples...making it harder on the poor to EAT..
THen they grow food that has been genetically altered....to look good, but not be tasty and healthy.... They have a longer shelf life due to the ading of genes from other species....and now add pesticides......that give cancer.. and the food problem, enters the health problem.. So the two of the three basics are related.
As PRESIDENT I would want to protect our people, not only from harm of terrorists and other invading countries, but protect our people lives (health) from Geneticists, Chemical Companies,and Food Conglomerates, whose intention is large profits, regardless of human cost. I do not think any of the above is the least bid radical, unless you have great stock investments in any of the companies involved!
I would strenghten the powers of the FDA, and have them overseen that they are doing their job and work tandem with the a FEDERAL BORAD OF HEALTH.
I would give grants so that pesticides that are NONE HARMFUL to humans be delveloped. ANd check into the legality of "patenting" of genetic engineerd fruits and veggies" ANd I would develope a NATIONAL FOOD BANK, to help local food banks...feed the very poor.
In the nxt two years, I will be crating research committes, on hundreds of subjects that I will be discussing. What I amight accomplish is opening up the eyes of many people....Winning is out of the question.....pure fantasy....but educating...isnt.

TRIED TO BUY AN AMERICAN MADE ROOMHEATER:-&MY RUN FOR PRESIDENT

2010-12-15T19:54:00.000-08:00

ONE OF THE MANY SUBJECTS THAT IA MGONGTO HAVE MY INTERNS INVESTIGATE IS WHAT IS MADE IN THE USA, VERSUS WHAT IS MADE IN CHINA. I WILL BE COMPILING TONS OF INFORMATION ON THOUSANDS OF ISSUES THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO ALLAMERICANS... AND WHEN I START MAKING MY YOU TUBE VIDEOS....:TALKING TO AMERICA" I WILL HAVE BACK UP INFORMATION....ON WHAT EVER I WILL SPEAK ABOUT.. NOT ONLY DETAILS,BUT WHERE THE INFORMATION CAME FROM!
TO NIGHT I WANT TO BUY A HEATER FOR MY BACK BATHROOM, WHICH JUST DOENST HEAT UP. WENT TO "HOME DEPOT" THERE ARE A NICE SELECTION OF THEM,ALL SIZES, TYPE,....BUT THEY WERE ALL.......MADEINCHINA.......I WENT TO THE MANAGER AND ASKED IF THEY HAD ANY MADE IN AMERICA.......HE LAUGHED IN MY FACE......SMILED, AND SAID "no"..I WENTBACKTO THE HEATER AISLE.... there was a Jamacian woman there who pointed to one box and said, "i boughtonelast year" andit didnt even last one season....i should have brought it back"!!!But I didnt...>!!!!
At the home depot.....i notice a small microwave on sale for 39.99...Thin plastic..and remeber that there is somethng about microwaves that are dangerous...was it some kind of radio-activity, or were the waves just damaging to humans.????HOW in hell can anything made well and safe..and mechanical be made and sell retail for 39.95? the best scenario is that if it is safe, which i doubt...is that it just will break in a month or two......if it has a guarantee...it proabbly will not last until the guarantee is over....and the company will be out of business.
Somuch of the stuff at Home Depot ,walmart and TArget is inferior, if notdangerous CHINESE goods.....which we should all boycott.....how? If we cannot buy anything made in America.......WE HAVE TO START BOYCOTTING CHIENSE CRAP!! AND WALMART!!

I VOTED FOR OBAMA.....AND STILL LIKE HIM, BUT WILL SPEAK OUT WHEN I THINK HE AND HIS POLICIES ARE WRONG. I AM NOTHAPPY THAT THE EVIL REPUBLICANS MULTIMILLIONAIRES WILL STILL GET THEIR TAX CUTS FROM THE MENTALLY ILL AND EVIL GEORGE BUSHAND DARTH CHENY.......BUT....HIS HEALTH CARE BILL IS WRONG. THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT MAKE US BUY INSURANCE, AND THEN FINE US IF WE DONT..... THERE ARE FAMILIES THAT WOULD HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN PAYING RENT AND EATING OR HAVING INSURANE... THIS IS WRONG...THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION TO THE HEALTH CARE PROBLEM. WE NEED SOCIALIZED MEDICINE FOR THOSE WHO ARE TOO POOR TO AFFORD INSURANCE. WE NEED REFORM IN THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY..ESPECIALLY IN THE HEALTH INSURANCE DEPARTMENT.
AND THE PHARMACEUTICAL BUSINESS AS WELL. .....WE SHOULD EMULATE HOW ISRAEL UNS THEIR HEATH CARE. THEY HAVE THE BEST DOCTORS, MEDICAL CARE,HOSPITALS....AND ITS AFFORDABLE FOR ALL THE PEOPLE... HEALTH INSURANCE IS FAR TOOHIGH...I WANT TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH PROFIT THE INSURANCE COMPANIESMAKE....ANDMAYBE THEY SHOULD BE A NON PROFIT INDUSTRY....PROFITS SHOULDNT NOT BE MADE ON PEOPLES HEALTH....OR LACKOF IT....AND THAT PEOPLE SHOULD DIE BECAUSE THEY CANT DONT HAVE INSURANCE OR CANT AFFOR A DR.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING DELICIOUS TO EAT: A RECIPE FOR AN INDIAN LAMBURGER!!!

GO TO THE BUTCHER AND GET LEAN GROUND LAMB GROUND ....JUST ADD SALT AND PEPPER AND A BIT OF GARLIC POWDER TO TASTE.... THE BEST TASTING ONESWILL BE OVER A CHRCOAL FIRE, BUT IF IN A PAN, PLACE IT IN WHEN IT IS VERY VERY HOT, SO AT LEAST ONE SIDE WILL BROWN ALMOST CRISPY, TURN, AND COOK OTHER SIDE UNTIL IT REMAINS PINK AND A LITTLE JUICY ON THE INSIDE. (alternate spices...add dry dill mixed into the burger,mint, basil...) but its delivicous just tasting like lamb!

To make a great and quick INDIAN flavored sauce.... saute an onion in peanut or canola oil till soft,,one clove of garlic,and teaspoon of curry powder(to taste)
tablespoon of chopped parsely..then when onions are soft, ad a can of undiluted mushroom soup,(you can subsitute cream of Asparagus,celery or cream of chicken if alergic to mushrooms)..stir...you might ad a little water if too thick.

Use burger roll, or a rustic grain bread. Drainburger on brown paper to get off grease..place on bread and add sauce. Serve with a side order of cucumber salad with yorgurt. : Peel a cucumber, dice, salt..let sit for half hour,squeeze to drain of liquid....add plain yorgurt, cardoman seeds,or dill or mint..salt and black pepper...let marinate for an hour or two before serving...

2010-12-06T19:31:00.000-08:00

ON WINS RADIO THIS MORNING, JOHN CONSIGLIO OF LYNDURST NJ SAID HE KILLED THE FIRST BEAR OF THE BEAR HUNT....HE SAID HE WAS SO EXCITED...ON HIS "KILL" I JUST CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW ONE CAN GET EXCITED KILLING ONE OF GODS BEAUTIFUL CREATURES. FOR WHAT??????wHAT HAPPENS WHEN THIS HUNTER STOPS GETTING EXCITING FROM KILLING ANIMALS, DOES HE THEN START KILLING AND HUNTING PEOPLE?????
tHESE BLACK BEARS DO NOT BOTHER PEOPLE...HUNTERS KILL MORE PEOPLE THAN BEARS DO...THEY USUALLY RUN AWAY....FROM PEOPLE.....UNLESS THEY HAVE THEIR BABIES AROUND OR YOU CONRER THEM.... YOU CANNOT TOUCH OR PET THEM, BUT THEY RARELY ATTACK FOR NO REASON.... AND WHO SAYS THERE ARE TOO MANY BEARS...EXACTLY WHO KNOWS HOW MANY ARE TOO MANY.... I THINK HUNTERS SHOULD BE HUNTED!! LET THEM SEE HOW IT FEELS.....AND MAKE THE ODDS THE SAME. HALF OF THEM SHOUDNT HAVE A GUN OR A WEAPON.
I WONDER ABOUT THE MENTLAITY OF PEOLE WO ARE HUNTERS AND LOVE TO KILL? ARE THEY THE FUTURE PSYCHOTIC KILLERS...???

sunday.....Real MIracle of LIGHTS HANUKA @Grannys ATtic, & LOVERS MEET from MAtch .COM

2010-12-05T19:23:00.000-08:00

The three lights, that are in the middle row of lights in our gallery, have burt out 6 months ago. None of them have gone on....not a flicker. But today, without notice, one of the dead lamps hat hang above the gallery, suddenly was on, glowing as brihgt as ever. There is no explanation. We were told, both the bulb and ballasts were burned out. SO how cold one of them suddenly go on. Well Its Hanuka? Can we start some new holiday ritual becuase of this. ? I am sure, the so called miracle of CHANUKA, or how ever you want to spell it has some ligical explanation.....just as the light going on after 6 months must have some logical explanation...unless
Thelight going on is some positive sign from the MAIN MAN, from the GODS....or the Great Spirit. I am a cynic.....an agnostic.....but, I am oing to make belive that the sign is a positive one from above and things will get better.

Towards the end of the business day, a man entered...very friendly ...asked some questions....immediately said that he would buy a Waterford bowl. He soon opened up and said that he has a date coming...a wonderful woman that he met onLINE.....on Match .com......we talked some more and soon, the DATE entered...a customer of ours, who thought GRANNYS would be a great place to meet. To me, this was a personal compliment....she asked for BUDDY DOG...who already went home with JOHN.....
So Grannys just might be the begining of a great relationship between these two people. .....they eally seemed good for each other.....so a Blessing on their head...Mozel tov Mozel tov. So romantic.....I love it.

New recipe...Sweet and Sour String Bean Soup..An old Hungarian Recipe...that I just invented..... Simple and quick.tWO vEWRSIONS..FIRST IS VEGTARIAN

Rainy dismal day....Facebook Problems,

2010-11-30T20:24:00.000-08:00

YOu dont need me to tell you how dismal this day was...dark, dismal but not too cold....very few people entered my store at all.....NOthing happened.. I had a fight with a DR who never returned calls for three weeks....for one of our employees who is in pain. I called both their NYC and Local offices...NYC new nothing...even though they make the appointments even out in the NJ office, and the dumb bitch who answered the phone, when she heard the "patients" name, said....yes, i remember the name..YOU DO? Then why didnt you have the courtsey to call him back, after you were faxed all the medical information twice>>>>(SHE CLAIMS THE FIRST TIME SHE DIDNT GET IT (bullshit) WE SENT IT EIGHT FROM HERE TWICE). i ASKED FOR ANSWERS.......SHE SAID I HAD TO SPEAK TO THE OFFICE MANAGER...."YES I DO" I SAID, I WANT HEADS TO ROLL.!!!!
sUPPOSEDLY, THE dr WILL GET THE MEDICAL RECORDS TOMORROW..ONLY THREE WEEKS LATE!!!!
WHERE DO THEY FIND THESE IDIOTS??? I REMEMBER HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS YEARS AGO WITH ANOTHER MEDICAL OFFICE IN MAHWAH......AND ANOTHER DR..IAN LEVY, WHO MISDIAGNOSED ANOTHER ONE OF OUR EMPLOYEES.....HE SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG..WHEN EVEN I KNEW HE HAD THYROID TROUBLE...AND WAS ON THE BORDLINE OF GETTING DIABETES...HE SENT HIM HOME AND SAID COME BACK IN A YEAR.. A YEAR LATER...HE HAD FULL FLEDGE THYROID TROUBLE AND DIABETES.......SO STAY AWAY FROM DR IAN LEVY...HE IS INCOMPETENT.....

ONE OF MY CUSTOMERS SUGGEST THAT I SET OF A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT FOR GRANNYS ATTIC......I ALREADY HAVE ONE UNDER MY NAME.. SO TONIGHT, I SET ONE UP, AND IT WASNT AS EASY AS YOU MIGHT THINK. WHEN I TYPED IN "GRANNYS ATTIC ANTIQUES" A SCREEN APPEARED THAT SAID TOO MANY LETTERS/ OK, THEN I SHORTENED IT TO GRANNYS ATTIC. BUT WHEN IT WAS ALL DONE.....THE NAME BECAME GRANNYS ATTIC GRANNYS ATTIC iT REPEATED ITSELF AND I COULDNT FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET RID OF ONE OF THE NAMES/ WHATS WORSE, NOW I CANNOT ACCESS MY OWN PAGE...THE NEW ONE KEEPS COMING UP???? SO I HAVE TO FIND A COMPUTER GENIOUS(WHICH i AM NOT) TO GET BACK TO MY PAGE.....

sEEMS THAT THE WIKI LEAKS ARE NO BIG SURPRISE..TODAY THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW PAKISTAN IS NOT THE GOOD ALLIE THAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE....WELL, I NEVER TRUSTED ANY OF THEM FOR A SECOND.....I THINK THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH 9/11, AND THE SECOND IN COMMAND OF THEIR SECRET POLICE CAME TO WASHINGTON THE DAY BEFORE 9/11 TO GET A PAYOFF...FOR SOMETHING HE DID....SO THAT 9/11 WOUULD COME OFF AS SCHEDULED....AND DANIEL PEARL THE NEWSPAPER MAN WAS ON TO HIM, AND WENT TO GET THE STORY. HOW OUR GOVERNMENT PAID HIM MONEY...SO...CERTAIN PEOPLE WOULD HELP WITH THE 9/11 PLOT.....SO DANIEL PEARL WAS MURDERED BECAUSE HE KNEW TOO MUCH....ABOUT BOTH PAKISTANS CROOKS AND THE AMERICAN CROOKS....

THIS IS COMING OUT NOW AS SUCH SECRETS..WHEN ALL THE PEOPLE THAT I TALK POLITICS NEW YEARS AGO.....THE INQUIRER HAD PRICE CHARLES GAY, BEFORE THE WIKI LEAKS...THEY ARE RALLY MAKING MOUNTAINS OUT OF MOLE HILLS. THEY SAID THAT HILLARY AND CONDOLISA RICE WERE COLLECTING INFO ON FOREGIN DIGNITARIES...SO WHAT!! THAT IS SPYING.....THAT IS DONE BY ALL COUNTRIES..AND....SOME TIMES A LITTLE INFO CAN MAKE THE PLAYERS MORE PLYABLE....TO SEE THINGS OUR WAY. LETS SAY, HILLARY FOUND OUT THAT THE ASSHOLE FROM NORTH KOREA......WAS A CROSS DRESSER.....AND HE WOULDNT WANT HIS ENTIRE COUNTRY TO FIND OUT...A LITTLE BLACK MAIL MIGHT STOP A WAR.....IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT INFO THEY GOT AND WHAT SHE DID WITH IT. I WILL NOT CONDEM THEM FOR THIS RIGHT NOW. ITS ALWAYS GOOD TO KNOW WHAT YOUR FREINDS ARE DOING...BUT BETTER TO KNOW WHAT YOUR ENEMIES ARE UP TO AS WELL.... GOOD JOB MISS HILLARY.

hERE IS AN INTERESTING HUNGARIAN DISH....CANT REMEMBER IF I WROTE THE RECIPE BEFORE

SAUTE A HALF CUP ONIONS TILL SOFT, AND ANOTHER HALF CUP UNTIL ALMOST BURNED...ALMOST BLACK...SET ASIDE. SAUTE TWO CUPS OF CABBAGE UNTIL QUITE LIMP..AND ADD TO THE ONIONS. SHRED A FEW CARROTS AND SAUTE THEM UNTIL LIMP.

,ALE 4 CUPS OF MASHED POTATOES AND ADD A BIT OF GARLIC AND CARROWAY SEEDS, BLACK PEPPER, SWEET PAPRIKA, AND SALT...ADD EVERYTHING ALL TOGETHER. MIX WELL...IN A LOAF PAN AND BAKE UNTIL THE TOP IS BROWN...IT CAN BE A MAIN COURSE WITH A SALAD.....ITS IS VERY FILLING AND DELICIOUS....AND HEALTHY. YOU CAN GET CREATIVE AND ADD DIFFERENT VEGGIES.....LIKE TURNIP, OR KOLRABI, MAYBE SOME WALNUTS OR PINE NUTS...

IT REALLY DOENST NEED A SAUCE...BUT, IF YOU MUST....MAKE A SAUCE FROM MUSHROOMS,ONIONS SAUTED IN BUTTER, ADD A LITTLE WINE AND THICKEN WITH CORN STARCH...OR EVEN LET IT COOK DOWN WITHOUT ANY THICKENER.....THE HUNGARIAN MAKE AN ONION MUSHROOM STEW, WHICH THEY SERVE ON TOAST. DAMN THE HUNGARIANS, ON MUY VACATION I MUST HAVE GAINED ALL THEW WEIGHT BACK THAT I LOST.

STILL COUGHING....FIRE ALRAM PROBLEMS, & THE WORLD IS IN SHIT SHAPE

2010-11-28T20:08:00.000-08:00

WE HAD THE FIRE DEPRATMENT HERE TWICE THIS PAST WEEK.....SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH ONE OF THE CENSORS....AND THE DUST FROM FIRING IT UP FOR THE FIRST TIME.....CAUSED IT TO GO OFF.....VERY NEVER RACKING THE FLASHING LIGHTS, AND THE HIGH PITCHED SIRENS IS ENOUGHT TO DRIVE US CRAZY......THIS IS GOING INTO WEEK 3 OF WHAT EVER I HAVE..BRONCHITIS.....I COUGH ALL DAY....NO HEADACHE, NO NASAL CONGESTION, NOT FEVER....STOMACH IS FINE....JUST COUGHING.....WHICH HAS MADE ME VERY TIRED...AND IRRITABLE. I HAVE TO WORK AT BEING NICE TO CUSTOMERS...BECASUE THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF BULLSHIT GETS ME ANGRY.
TODAY, A CUSTOMER..COMES IN AS SAYS SHE SAW AND AD THAT SAID MY LEATHER CHAIRS ARE 150 DOLLARS EACH. (THEY COST ME ABOUT 500 WITH DELIVERY...AND OVER HEAD) i ASKED HER WHERE SHE SAW THIS AD, AND SHE SAID ON THE INTERNET....I SAT WITH HER AND WENT THRU MY ADS AND NONE TURNED UP, BUT SHE INSISTED SHE SAW THEM.
SHE ASKED THE PRICE AND THEY WERE 800 EACH.... SHE OFFERED 500 EACH (MY COST) SHE SAID SHE REALLY OVED THEM....AND KVETCHED AND MOAN ON HOW TOUGH THINGS ARE) i EXPLAIN THAT THAT IS MY COST...., WELL, I HAVE TWO PAIRS, SO I SAID OK..... SHE CAME BACK A FEW HOURS LATER AND PAID....THEN STARTED COMPLAINING THEY ARENT REAL, AND THEY ARE PLASTIC.....i TOLD HER i BUY THEM AS LETHER AND SHE IS GETTING THEM AT MY COST.....(WHICH IS TRUE) AND SHE SAID SHE DIDNT BELIEVE ME. NOT ONLY DIDNT I MAKE ANY MONEY, BUT, I HAD TO GET INSULTED AS WELL. AS THEY DAY (THIS IS RETAIL)

THERE ARE OTHER THINGS GOING ON THAT I CHOOSE NOT TO WRITE ON THE BLOG..PERSONAL THINGS THAT UPSET ME...PEOPLE WHO ARE SICK, OTHERS WITH PROBLEMS....AND i CANT EVEN VENT ABOUT THEM. BUT, WHY SHOULD I BE DIFFERENT THAN ANYONE ELSE. EVERYONE HAS PROBLEMS...LARGE AND SMALL....SO I TRY TO TAKE THEM IN MY STRIDE AND SAY THAT I AM LUCKY, THAT OTHERS HAVE MUCH LARGER PROBLEMS THAN ME...AND I AM THANKFUL FOR WHAT I HAVE. I DONT NEED THANKSGIVING, A BIG TURKEY AND SWEET POTATOES AND STUFFING TO REMIND ME TO BE THANKFUL AND HAPPY FOR WHAT I HAVE...FAMILY AND FRIENDS. SO IMPORTANT......ONE OF MY FRIENDS FROM HIGH SCHOOL JUST TOLD ME THAT BOTH THEIR SONS JUST BOUGHT A YACHT. ONE OF THEM USED TO WORK IN MY STORE, AND WAS THE FIRST TO SHOW US HOW TO SET UP OUR COMPUTERS... HE WENT ON TO BECOME A GENIOUS IN THE COMPUTER WORLD...... I AM NOT THE LEAST BIT JEALOUS OF HIM OR HIS BOAT.....I GET NAUSEAOUS ANYWAY ON THE OCEAN.....MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT BSUINESS IS TOO STRESSFUL...ON ALL OF US....HERE AT GRANNYS....AND WE ARE WORKING ONLY TO PAY BILLS...AND THE LANDLORD... WITHOUT EXAGGERATION, I PERSONALLYHAVENT SAVED A PENNY SINE 9/11, YET INSTEAD SPENT ALL MY SAVINGS TO KEEP THIS PLACE GOING.....AND IT SEEMS, THERE ARE THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE THIS. ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS SEE THAT 90 PERCENT OF ALL OTHER ANTIQUE DELAERS ARE GONE.... THE FACT WE ARE STILL HERE IS A MIRACLE.....WELL, WE HAVE GREAT PEOPLE, AND 45 YEARS BEHIND US.
ANYWAY.....HAPPY THANKSGIVIGN TO EVERYONE....BUT, WE SHOULD TAKE TIME EACH DAY..EVEN IT IS 30 SECONDS....TO GIVE THANKS.....FOR WHAT WE HAVE. GIVIGN THANKS ISNT A RELIGIOUS CONCEPT.. YOU ARE JUST REMEMBERING TO BE HAPPY EACH DAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE....AND MAYBE THINK HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER, AND MAKE SOMEOONE ELSE A LITTLE HAPPIER TOO.

I ALWAYS JOKE ABOUT MY MESSICANIC COMPLEX. THAT IF I WAS GOD WHAT I WOULD DO TO CHANGE THINGS...BUT WHAT A DIFICULT TIME THIS GOD MUST HAVE DECIDING HOW TO MAKE THINGS BETTER, WHERE TO HAVE A MIRACLE, WHERE TO SEND A TORNADO, WHERE TO HAVE AN EARTHQUAKE, AND THEN SHOULD HE ALSO SEND A TSUNAMI AFTER THE QUAKE....WHERE TO HAVE SPONTANEOUS REMISSIONS FROM CANCER....WHERE TO SEND A PLAGUE......WHERE A WAR SHOULD BREAK OUT....WHERE A MINE SHOULD COLLAPSE,, AND SHOULD THE MEN DIE OR BE SAVED......THIS GOD MUST BE VERY BUSY WITH THESE DECISIONS.....AS SANTA, WHO IS NAUGHT OR NICE...
I DONT THINK I WOULD WANT TO HAVE TO MAKE ALL THESE DECISIONS....BUT WHY,DOES THERE HAVE TO BE DISASTERS, AND WAR AND DISEASES????WHY CANT THIS BE A HAPPY PLANET..WITH EVERYONE HEALTHY, LIVING TO A RIPE OLD AGE, NO WARS, NATURAL DISASTERS/?
WELL, IF THERE WERE NO NATURAL DISASTERS, OR DISEASES. OR WARS, THE PLANET BY NOW WOULD HAV EBEEN SO OVER POPULATED WE WOULDNT HAVE ENOUGH FOOD OR WATER FOR THOSE LIVING HERE.. IN WORLD WAR TWO WE LOST OVER 50,MILLION PEOPLE...THIS IS TWO GENERATIONS LATER....IF ALL THOSE PEOPLE WERE STILL ALIVE AND HAD CHILDREN WHO HAD CHILDREN...AND AL LIVED THRE WOULD BE AT LEAST ANOTHER 200 MILLION PEOPLE ON EARTH, IF EACH ONLY HAD TWO KIDS. iF YOU THEN GO BACK IN TIME AND DO THE SAME ARYTHMETIC...WITH WORLD WAR ONE, CIVIL WAR, VIET NAME, IRAQ ONE AN TWO, SPANISH AMERICAN WAR, REVOLUTION, FRENCH AND INDIAN, THE WAR OF THE ROSES, THE SPANISH INQUISITION, THE 2 CRUSADES, THE BLACK PLAGUE....THE PELOPENISIAN WARS....THE fRENCH REVOLUTION, THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION...ALL THE POGROMS AGAINST THE jEWS AND THE ARMENIANS..., THE TSUNAMI THAT KILLED OVER 200,00 PEOPLE A FEW YEARS AGO....AND...SO FORTH.. THE PLANET WOULD BE COVERED WITH PEOPLE, LIKE ANTS ON AN ANT HILL.. IT MEAN AND CRUEL AND HURTFUL......BUT PROBABLY......THE PALNET WOULDNT EVEN SUPPORT LIFE ANYMORE, HADNT ALL THOSE THINGS HAPPENED. NOW I AM NOT SAYING THAT THERE IS A GREAT PSIRIT THAT IS THE CAUSE OF THIS....BUT ITS POSSIBLE, WE JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY AND HOW THIS ALL HAPPENS......THESE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS I TORTURE MYSELF WITH WHEN I SIT DOWN AND THINK. IS THIS PHILOSOPHY? OR JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF THE UNIVERSE./ THERE IS NO ANSWER. WE WILL NEVER INOW OR UNDERSTAND. ALL WE ARE CAPABABLE OF DOING IS ACCEPTING REALITY IF WE LIKE IT OR NOT. WE CAN ONLY STRIVE TO MAKE THINGS A LITTLE BETTER....BY HELPING OTHERS IN SOME WAY/ EACH OF US HAVE TO DISCOVER HOW WE CAN DO THIS. I THINK YOU CAN JUST START WITH GIVING PEOLE SMILES......THEY REST WILL TAKE CARE OF ITS SELF IF YOU ARE MOTIVATED.

NOW WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANOTHER KOREAN WAR....BUT THIS TIME THE BAD GUYS HAVE THE BOMB WE THINK....AND WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IRAN HAVING THE BOMB....NOT THAT IS EVENMORE SERIOUS BECUASE THEIR MENTLAITY HAS SUICICE BOMBERS..AND SHOULD THEY DEVELOPE A MINIATURE SHOE ATOMIC BOMB, WE REALLY ARE IN DEEP SHIT. THOSE PEOPLE ARE
MAKING ATOMIC BOMBS, WHILE THEIR RELGIOUS MENTALITY, IS BACK THOUSANDS OF YEARS IN THE DESERT...WITH THE MENTALITY OF A CAMEL JOCKEY.
HERE IN THE STATES WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT OUR LEADERS WHO ARE ALSO RELGIIOUS....AND THEIR MEDIA COUNTERPART LIKE GLENN BECK, ANN COULTER, SARAH PALIN, RUSH LIMBAUGH, ALL WHO REALLY NEED TREATMENT FOR DRUGS..PARANOIA, AND ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF A LOBOTOMY....IF THEY BAN TOGETHER THEN CAN GET NEUROSURGESON TO GIVE THEM A GROUP RATE....THEIR NONSESE IS UNREAL, YET THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT BELIVE THEIR CRAP....JSUT AS ALL THE DEMENTED PEOPLE WHO ATTEND THESE MEGACHURCHS...AND GIVE MONEY TO THE PREACHER MAN...WHO FLIES AROUND ON THEIR PRIVATE JETS, ROLLS ROYCES....AND TAKES MONEY FROM THE POOR TO "GIVE TO GOD" HOW BRAIN WASHED AND DESPERATE THESE PEOPLE ARE. YET WITH THE FREEDOM OF RELIGION IN THE COUNTRY, THE GOVERNMENT CANT INTERERE.... ALL THEY CAN DO IS KEEP AN EYE OUT ON THEM, WITH THE IRS, AND MAKE SHURE THEY ARE NOT MOLESTING MINORS..

WELL TOMORROW STRATS ANOTHER WEEK...AND THE WEEKS FLY BY, AND SOON SANTA AND HANAKA CLAUS WILL BE COMING DOWN YOUR CHIMMNEY TO INCREASE YOUR CREDIT CARD DEBT...i PERSONALLY THINK THE PHRASE KEEP CHRIST IN XMAS IS A GOOD IDEA. EVEN IF YOU ARE JEWISH...JESUS WAS JEWISH BY THE WAY...AND EVERYONE FORGETS THIS.....SO WHEN GENTILES CELEBRATE XMAS DINNER WITH A JUICY ROAST HAM (WHICH I LOVE----) THEY ARE FORGETTING THAT JESUS MARY AND JOSEPH WOULDNT HAVE EATING PORK.. IT WASNT KOSHER.......YES, THEY WRE KOSHER... SO IN RESPECT FOR JESUS....THEY SHOULD HAVE A TURKEY, OR A ROAST BEEF OR FISH FOR XMAS.......THINK ABOUT IT>>>> THIS ISNT A JOKE....AND FOR ME NOT TO BE JOKING....ITS HARD TO TELL.
bUT THEN AGAIN, WITH MY VIEWS, ALL THESE RELIGIOS RULES ARE NONSENSE ANYWAY. THE DONT EAT THIS OR THAT..OR ITS A SIN AND YOU WIL GO TO HELL. pLEASE...IF A GOOD PERSON..A KIND AND GENTLE PERSON THEIR WHOLE LIFE ATE A PORK SANDWHICH....YOU THINK THAT IS REASON TO GO TO HELL. I DONT THINK SO,.....WELL, I DONT BELIVE THERE IS HELL ANYWAY. NOR HEAVEN. ITS ALL STATE OF MIND..AND WE ARE THERE..IN ONE OR THE OTHER RIGHT NOW......

Clienticide is not legal. DANGER IN KOREAS, THE POPE WOKE UP/JESUS &CONDOMS cooking for thanksgiving

2010-11-23T16:31:00.001-08:00

..kILLING A CUSTOMER ISNT LEGAL YET BUT..............This one particular customer who spent a lot of mOney here...and then, a money later decided to bargain the amount in half..came back. This time...she refused to pay for a few things on hold for 6 weeks, demanded we drop everything and bring her things to be packed......and wanted to buy more things at prices up to 80% off ticket price. I was coughing my brains out.....tired from lack of sleep for almost a week, and not in the mood for this EVA BRAUN personality to dominate my day.
I told her that she cannot just come into the store and demand that we stop what we are doing, change our plans, without any notice. She then had us deliver the goods to another nearby dealr..who she said would take care of it..WHen we did....deliver it, he wanted no part of it and we had to return it here...wasting more than half an hour. TIME IS MONEY!
After telling me she didnt want to buy what we wre saving for her for 6 weeks, she wanted more prices on other things...and then tried me to more than cut the prices in half..some 89% less....and I just said not..and she got insulted...and told me ai am not nice like my competitor....who gave her a few yards of free silk fabric....(I didnt say that if she had spent 30,000 dollars here, i too would have given her three yeards of fabric that I paid almostnothing for....but, wouldnt want to alinete her with this other dealer.
Tonight.....she continued to bargain and I told her NO...then dont buy it. But those words turned into that I threw her out of the store.....which I did not.Either she has a hearing problem, or a mental problem or both. her money is green, she is cheap, but i still want to getmore of it... She is really a demanding bitch...and at 68 yers old, ia m tired of kissing peoples asses becuase of business. I am not a hypocrit and I am not nice because people are rich I am nice because I like someone..and dont fake it....

The Asians, whoa re known for smal penis's, are trying to compensate today by sending their Freudian missles to blow each other up. The North, bombed a South KOrean ISLAND and killed a few people...the North DIDNT retaliate yet, but warned of severe punishment if they attack again. I think it would be better, if the UNITED NATIONS sent them a 747 filled with hookers and penis extentions...and the potentially dangerous situations might die down. The north is bragging about their Nuclear potentian...
This could esclate ito someting big...But it seems CHINA and RUSSIA and the USA do not want a war....so they woudlnt back either side I dont think.....and i also think the nORTH koreans...or at leas their leaders are insane.

If I have the enrgy, tonight I will start preparation for my cous cous dish. I already went and bought the HARISSA sauce from Isreal....a Morroccan recipe of chilles garlic and spices, which one cannot expalin in words.. but makes a simple vegetarians (or meatatarian dish....incredible)
I do not have a recipe...for my cous cous...each time its different..but the results are very similar.. I cube up various sweet and white poatoes, turnip, parsnip, celerey, cabbage,squashes, raisens, pine nuts, parsely, onions. carotts...cook them in a broth with various psices including cumin, lots of cinnamon, garic, cardamon...and some harissa...I do not thicken the broth... Its served over cooked cous cous and then Harissa is served n a bowl and added to taste. ALso in a bowl, will be orange sections, and apple cubes to be added if they want it sweet. Simple..yes. but so very delicious.
FOr those not veggitarian, you can cook the same veggies in a broth with various meats together, or individual..chicken and my favorite LAMB>
When the fie cous cous isnt available, serving the veggies over white or brown rice is still delicious..but not as traditional.

where exactly in the bible did Jesus say you shouldne wear condoms? GEE I do not remember it.. why, I will bet my weenie....that they didnt have any condoms for sale back then, not even at the local 7-11 on the desert Oasis.. Now somewhere in the bible they tell you not to play with yourself...and I am sure this was written my men, to old to get an erection and have an orgasm anyway...so they felt that if they cannot enjoy it ..no one should.
I dont even know if the figured out the rhythm method back then. But for years, after the advent of consoms, it beame immoiral and illegal for use in the Caothlic religion. The CHURCH ELDERS were too busy having theri inquisisitons, burning and torturning people to pay attention...that birth control....in many countries would prevent hunger and disease....but the words in the book are more important than real human life.
Now enter AIDS...and thhe clergy still for bade the use of condoms and the disease spread, Condoms owuld have slowed down the spread but they still thought tht using them is a sin..dying of aids must be better.....sure...!!!!!
FINDALLY we have a pope that is not a schmuck.. He really wants to see the epidemic slow down more and more and more...as we all do. So he says wearing cndoms is less evil than the spred of the disease..yet he still has to call it evil....SCHMUCK!!!!

AOL TOP NEWS a joke......My Faux Run for The Presidency

2010-11-22T19:55:00.000-08:00

I want to make it clear, the fact that "i am running for presidency" will be done in earnest.....but I am not expecting bvery much to happen....People who have no money, or history of being in politics(regardless of intelligence)or connected to powerful coporations or big mooney, dont have a chance to run for anything more than local politics.
But I will make every attempt to try to do it as if it was real....Discuss important issues, stake firm stands, try to surrround myself with decent intellgent peole in their respected fields....as if they would become advisors and cabinet members. It would almost like producing a movie that aims for reality......
I think the experience will be very exciting...and I will beable to share my thoughts, my politics, with the entiure country. I wil use this and other blogs, YOU TUBE FOR SPEECHES......and will let the people read my poetry and philosphy......and one of my phrases will be "elect the Poet President" IN ancient Greece, poets were elected to igh position, the President of Dominican Republic, who was a blind poet...called"EL CIEGO" BALAGUER....so the idea is not original, but nes poetry and philosophy would give the people more insight into what i believe in than all the speeches and promises can.
I am looking for people to work on my "faux" campaign..who is send out emails, make videos, etc... We are going to build astudio setting in my huge warehouse block long gallery......I am hoping, that somewhere along the line, some of the things we will say..and do might affect some change...
And again, I always beg forgiveness for my awful typing and errors.

AOL...is almost as bad as the scandal newspapers....The Enquirer and other trash weeklies...I find todays headlines amusing:Cargo Jet Slides Off Runway in Snow-Covered Seattle

2010-11-22T06:46:00.000-08:00

nove 22, i was in the Biology building at college, when the cries rang out that the president was shot. First it seemed like a joke...but when the screaming didnt stop we knew it was real. It was then, for the first time in my life, it was ok to cry in public. THE PUBLIC was all crying, men and women....old and young. Our hearts were broken and our hero assasinated.
I didnt think my brain culd take the strain......although I never realized how much I admired the man, until he was gone. I was proud to watch TV and see him get up and talk..whether here or abroad....WHen he was in Germany and said in Germany..."Ich Been a Berliner" and the peaople cheered....they cheer for him, the cheer for me and they cheered for America...Damn I was proud.
That night i wandered around Lexington Kentucky...aimlessley and ended up in the black ghetto....where the cries of the people..."they killed OUR president" were repeated over and over and over, and the wailing.....and screams continued all night. I cried by myself and I cried with them...they killed my president, their president...and it reall hurt.
47 years have past, and tears can still come to my eyes thinking about it...especially today......I still can here the cadence of the drums at the funeral processsion. NOthing much has chnaged. We still have a war going on for big business,drugs and oil. JOhn would turn in his grave. He really loved this country...
and i do to.....and that is why I sitll cry....to watch it go down the drain. Thanks Bush and Chenney..for killing the American dream.

MY AWFUL SPELLING!!!!!! Prince Charles is Already Queen

2010-11-21T21:10:00.000-08:00

Poor Diana, it is now rumoured..and all over the internet and the ENQUIRER that Phillip, exhusband of Princess DIANA.....is gay , and his lover is going to expose him.....they talk of one of his sons is getting engaged....and he will be the next KING>..but howcome, Charles isnt next in line for the throne.??? But then again, who the hell cares.. These people are useless. They do nothing much but play polo, where fancy hats, and claim to do charity work....
They spend the tax payers money on their ROyal Coaches, and parties,....and fancy balls..They Castles have to be kept up..and it isnt cheap to heat castles these days..and I am sure the QUeen doenst pay the heating bill, or the butler and maid bills, and repair bills......I wonder that in hell she does all day.....and what is her qualification to become a QUEEN. I wonder if suddenly the ENglish Govenment fell apart and she had to become the leader of the country.....could she handle it..Is their a brain in her head???? WHO knows...Maybe those fancy hats hide the hole in her head.?
But with due respect, she was a beautiful woman in her day...Eventually I will post a photo of her that was on LIFE MAG COver over 50 years ago..........

Enough of ROYALITY...Everyone around here had bronchitis.....coughing our brains out..but no fever......JOHN bought out a house today with really great stuff..come in and browse,,,,an entirue truck load, and FRIDAY half a truck load...so the stuff is coming in...really wish the economy would get better........tired of working only to pay the bills....

this is the 2nd post today read the last one first...

I guess i write about just enything that enters my head. Serious to funny to rediculous..to recipes, poetry, and just things to think about..think the GREEKS called the Philospsphy. Most people really do not know the real me. The customers see this sillybusinessman, always joking and being silly...and sometimes, when pushed to far I loose my cool and spirituality...and can get nasty if need be...although, I really try to be nice to people, even when they dont deserve it.
But there is a very very serious side of me..that doesnt often come out. Its reserved for those special friendsk, family that seem to vibrate on the same frequency, and appreicate where I cam coming from.. This is especially true of my poetry and philosphy..which in reality are one in the same. My poetry isnt beautiful..flowerym cutsey rhyming verses....but words and phrases that purposely kick you in the stomach, or in the brain.....and make you think, cry...smile.....or feel some emotion.... Soon I will be writig them here...on the blog..some already have been posted but only a small handfull.

I want to mention a commnet on what i just read. that Camilla......might become Queen...if she dies or steps down. I guess they do not want the fiance of the next king....who is a commoner to be QUeen. GOD FOR BID. She might not where those GOD awful tacky hats...which are always good for a laugh....Queen Elizabeth was a pretty girl when she was young...but grew up to look like a tacky piece of overstuffed upholstered furniture....which her like her "position" are both useless. The queen doenst nothing,,,,is nothing...and is no more royal and any of us. I can help but think that she wipes her ass with the same toiletp aper we do.... and performs the same bodily functions as all of us...I often try to imagine her,,,,sitting on the ROYAL WHite Porcelain throne.....in a state of constipation.......and given moans, with a slight English accent....
I do not beleive in ROYALTY.. caste systems....or that anyone is better than the next person. While it is true, that IQ (intelligent quotients) do separate people, that at least is based on some real reason why they might be thought less of, due to their limited abilities..
It is after 4 in the morning, and i am probably more asleep than awake..so if any of this rambling...becomes uninteligble......I am not drunk...just tired as hell..
So I will go to sleep, asking the Great SPirt to protect us all from the evils of the universe, its various bad epople who should be scooped up and sent to the nearest BLACK HOLE filled with antimatter and these useless people. My list for the first one way transport ship is growing.....one day I will publish this list.....

i MUST SLEEP SOON, BUT ANOTHER MEGA CHURCH IN ATLANTA HAS A GAY SCANDLE...I LOVE IT, BUT THIS ONE...WAS VOLUNTARILY...THE MINISTER, WAS SO MOVED BY ALL THE GAY YOUNG SUICIDES, THAT HE...TWICE MARRIED WITH 4 KIDS...CAME OUT OF THE CLOSET, AND WANTS TO BE INVOLVED WITH MAKING GREAT CHANGES IN THE EDUCATION OF THE WORLD......IF YOU HAD RAD MY FACE BOOK SUGGESTIONS.....I SAID IT MUST START IN THE CHURCH....WELL, someone was listening....This is a very brave man, who is takign the chance of sacrificing his own career, family and freinds....to save others....THIS IS THE MOST CHRISTIAN ACT I AM SURE HE EVER DID.....ANI AWARD HIM THE MAURY ALAN LUBMAN MEDAL OF BRAVERY......Despite feeling called by God to spread the gospel, he lived a lie for decades, fearing that the truth would not set him free, as John the Apostle promised, but ruin his life and his devotion to preaching.

Bishop Jim Swilley founded a Greater Atlanta house of worship in 1985 that has grown into a mega-church. He married twice and fathered four children. He traveled the country giving sermons about Christ and Christian love, but kept secret his own feelings on human desires.

But on a recent Wednesday night, he stepped out of the closet while sitting in the pulpit of his 1,200-member, nondenominational Evangelical church and announced he was gay -- something he said he neither chose nor spoke about for most of his 52 years. Some walked out. Many others stayed.

WSB-TV
Jim Swilley, bishop of Church in the Now near Atlanta, said he hopes his coming out will change attitudes toward homosexuality.
Swilley said he wanted to change hateful bullying and intolerance of homosexuals. He wanted people to know that, at least for him, it was not a choice or a calling.

"There are two things in my life that are an absolute," he told his flock. "I did not ask for either one of them; both of them were imposed upon me, I had no control over either of them. One was the call of God on my life ... and the other thing ... was my sexual orientation."

It was the recent series of suicides by gay teens that pushed him to stop living a lie, Swilley told NPR. He was especially compelled by the story of Tyler Clementi, a Rutgers University freshman who jumped off the George Washington Bridge after his roommate and a friend allegedly live-streamed video of a sexual encounter between a man and Clementi.

"I would hear people nearly imply that he deserved it -- you know, people would say he shouldn't have been in an act of perversion," Swilley told the public radio network. "And when I started hearing that, especially from people who professed to be Christ-like, I don't know. Something changed."

In the videotaped address to his followers, Swilley said he had recently told his parents and his children, and they stood behind him. He said his wife of 21 years, Debye, had known before they were married, but loved him anyway. The couple separated more than a year ago, but she remains an associate pastor at their cathedral in Conyers, Church in the Now, about 25 miles east of Atlanta.

And it was Debye who told him he should come clean and follow the church's motto of "real people experiencing a real God in the real world," Swilley told WSBTV in Atlanta.

He said he's received some sharply negative reactions. "I know all the hateful stuff that's being written about me online, whatever," he said. "To think about saving a teenager, yeah, I'll risk my reputation for that.

Sponsored Links "As a father," Swilley said through tears, "thinking about your 16-, 17-year-old killing themselves, I thought somebody needed to say something."

The pastor also said he wanted to clear up some rumors. He had not left his wife for another man, he told his congregation, which included a smiling and applauding Debye. His situation was not similar to Eddie Long, another mega-church pastor in Atlanta.

Long, an anti-gay preacher, has been sued by four young men who claim he coerced them into sex with lavish trips, gifts and jobs. Long denies the accusations.

"My position is not about gaying up the church," Swilley told CNN. "It's about people being who they are."

Nazis Were Given ‘Safe Haven’ in U.S., Report Says

BuzzPermalink WASHINGTON — A secret history of the United States government’s Nazi-hunting operation concludes that American intelligence officials created a “safe haven” in the United States for Nazis and their collaborators after World War II, and it details decades of clashes, often hidden, with other nations over war criminals here and abroad.

The O.S.I. Report
Interactive
In Hunt for Nazis, an Incomplete HistoryThe 600-page report, which the Justice Department has tried to keep secret for four years, provides new evidence about more than two dozen of the most notorious Nazi cases of the last three decades.

It describes the government’s posthumous pursuit of Dr. Josef Mengele, the so-called Angel of Death at Auschwitz, part of whose scalp was kept in a Justice Department official’s drawer; the vigilante killing of a former Waffen SS soldier in New Jersey; and the government’s mistaken identification of the Treblinka concentration camp guard known as Ivan the Terrible.

The report catalogs both the successes and failures of the band of lawyers, historians and investigators at the Justice Department’s Office of Special Investigations, which was created in 1979 to deport Nazis.

Perhaps the report’s most damning disclosures come in assessing the Central Intelligence Agency’s involvement with Nazi émigrés. Scholars and previous government reports had acknowledged the C.I.A.’s use of Nazis for postwar intelligence purposes. But this report goes further in documenting the level of American complicity and deception in such operations.

The Justice Department report, describing what it calls “the government’s collaboration with persecutors,” says that O.S.I investigators learned that some of the Nazis “were indeed knowingly granted entry” to the United States, even though government officials were aware of their pasts. “America, which prided itself on being a safe haven for the persecuted, became — in some small measure — a safe haven for persecutors as well,” it said.

The report also documents divisions within the government over the effort and the legal pitfalls in relying on testimony from Holocaust survivors that was decades old. The report also concluded that the number of Nazis who made it into the United States was almost certainly much smaller than 10,000, the figure widely cited by government officials.

The Justice Department has resisted making the report public since 2006. Under the threat of a lawsuit, it turned over a heavily redacted version last month to a private research group, the National Security Archive, but even then many of the most legally and diplomatically sensitive portions were omitted. A complete version was obtained by The New York Times.

The Justice Department said the report, the product of six years of work, was never formally completed and did not represent its official findings. It cited “numerous factual errors and omissions,” but declined to say what they were.

More than 300 Nazi persecutors have been deported, stripped of citizenship or blocked from entering the United States since the creation of the O.S.I., which was merged with another unit this year.

In chronicling the cases of Nazis who were aided by American intelligence officials, the report cites help that C.I.A. officials provided in 1954 to Otto Von Bolschwing, an associate of Adolf Eichmann who had helped develop the initial plans “to purge Germany of the Jews” and who later worked for the C.I.A. in the United States. In a chain of memos, C.I.A. officials debated what to do if Von Bolschwing were confronted about his past — whether to deny any Nazi affiliation or “explain it away on the basis of extenuating circumstances,” the report said.

The Justice Department, after learning of Von Bolschwing’s Nazi ties, sought to deport him in 1981. He died that year at age 72.

The report also examines the case of Arthur L. Rudolph, a Nazi scientist who ran the Mittelwerk munitions factory. He was brought to the United States in 1945 for his rocket-making expertise under Operation Paperclip, an American program that recruited scientists who had worked in Nazi Germany. (Rudolph has been honored by NASA and is credited as the father of the Saturn V rocket.)

The report cites a 1949 memo from the Justice Department’s No. 2 official urging immigration officers to let Rudolph back in the country after a stay in Mexico, saying that a failure to do so “would be to the detriment of the national interest.”

Justice Department investigators later found evidence that Rudolph was much more actively involved in exploiting slave laborers at Mittelwerk than he or American intelligence officials had acknowledged, the report says.

Some intelligence officials objected when the Justice Department sought to deport him in 1983, but the O.S.I. considered the deportation of someone of Rudolph’s prominence as an affirmation of “the depth of the government’s commitment to the Nazi prosecution program,” according to internal memos.

The Justice Department itself sometimes concealed what American officials knew about Nazis in this country, the report found.

In 1980, prosecutors filed a motion that “misstated the facts” in asserting that checks of C.I.A. and F.B.I. records revealed no information on the Nazi past of Tscherim Soobzokov, a former Waffen SS soldier. In fact, the report said, the Justice Department “knew that Soobzokov had advised the C.I.A. of his SS connection after he arrived in the United States.”

(After the case was dismissed, radical Jewish groups urged violence against Mr. Soobzokov, and he was killed in 1985 by a bomb at his home in Paterson, N.J. )

The secrecy surrounding the Justice Department’s handling of the report could pose a political dilemma for President Obama because of his pledge to run the most transparent administration in history. Mr. Obama chose the Justice Department to coordinate the opening of government records.

The Nazi-hunting report was the brainchild of Mark Richard, a senior Justice Department lawyer. In 1999, he persuaded Attorney General Janet Reno to begin a detailed look at what he saw as a critical piece of history, and he assigned a career prosecutor, Judith Feigin, to the job. After Mr. Richard edited the final version in 2006, he urged senior officials to make it public but was rebuffed, colleagues said.

When Mr. Richard became ill with cancer, he told a gathering of friends and family that the report’s publication was one of three things he hoped to see before he died, the colleagues said. He died in June 2009, and Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. spoke at his funeral.

“I spoke to him the week before he died, and he was still trying to get it released,” Ms. Feigin said. “It broke his heart.”

After Mr. Richard’s death, David Sobel, a Washington lawyer, and the National Security Archive sued for the report’s release under the Freedom of Information Act.

The Justice Department initially fought the lawsuit, but finally gave Mr. Sobel a partial copy — with more than 1,000 passages and references deleted based on exemptions for privacy and internal deliberations.

Laura Sweeney, a Justice Department spokeswoman, said the department is committed to transparency, and that redactions are made by experienced lawyers.

The full report disclosed that the Justice Department found “a smoking gun” in 1997 establishing with “definitive proof” that Switzerland had bought gold from the Nazis that had been taken from Jewish victims of the Holocaust. But these references are deleted, as are disputes between the Justice and State Departments over Switzerland’s culpability in the months leading up to a major report on the issue.

Another section describes as “a hideous failure” a series of meetings in 2000 that United States officials held with Latvian officials to pressure them to pursue suspected Nazis. That passage is also deleted.

So too are references to macabre but little-known bits of history, including how a director of the O.S.I. kept a piece of scalp that was thought to belong to Dr. Mengele in his desk in hopes that it would help establish whether he was dead.

The chapter on Dr. Mengele, one of the most notorious Nazis to escape prosecution, details the O.S.I.’s elaborate efforts in the mid-1980s to determine whether he had fled to the United States and might still be alive.

It describes how investigators used letters and diaries apparently written by Dr. Mengele in the 1970s, along with German dental records and Munich phone books, to follow his trail.

After the development of DNA tests, the piece of scalp, which had been turned over by the Brazilian authorities, proved to be a critical piece of evidence in establishing that Dr. Mengele had fled to Brazil and had died there in about 1979 without ever entering the United States, the report said. The edited report deletes references to Dr. Mengele’s scalp on privacy grounds.

Even documents that have long been available to the public are omitted, including court decisions, Congressional testimony and front-page newspaper articles from the 1970s.

A chapter on the O.S.I.’s most publicized failure — the case against John Demjanjuk, a retired American autoworker who was mistakenly identified as Treblinka’s Ivan the Terrible — deletes dozens of details, including part of a 1993 ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit that raised ethics accusations against Justice Department officials.

That section also omits a passage disclosing that Latvian émigrés sympathetic to Mr. Demjanjuk secretly arranged for the O.S.I.’s trash to be delivered to them each day from 1985 to 1987. The émigrés rifled through the garbage to find classified documents that could help Mr. Demjanjuk, who is currently standing trial in Munich on separate war crimes charges.

Ms. Feigin said she was baffled by the Justice Department’s attempt to keep a central part of its history secret for so long. “It’s an amazing story,” she said, “that needs to be told.”

Not Enough Exorcisims...(or do they mean circumscisms???

2010-11-12T20:32:00.000-08:00

NEW YORK -Citing a shortage of priests who can perform the rite, the nation's Roman Catholic bishops are holding a conference on how to conduct exorcisms. The Catholic Bishops must be on some drug..maybe their wiine and eucharists have been contaminaed by some mold that is effecting their brains. They still think that deamons and evil spirits are abound....entering people and making them act like a C rated movie.
Will someone remind them that this is the year 2010, man has already been on the moon, and a Catholic and blackman have been president already...and they are still in medevil times. I thnk that maybe there shold be more circumcisions....this might relive some tension, no so much on the brain, but who knows.
The order most of them belong to is "Our LADY of the Divine MISHAGOSS" Although the mind can be altered by many things, medication and theraphy usually works. The only deamons that I know of at this point in time, are Republicans, and presidents of OIL companies, Pharmaceutical Companies, CEOs of Banks and Credit card Companies...and the entire hiearchy of WALMART>

A really Lousy day.....kvetch kvetch

2010-11-11T18:26:00.000-08:00

A customer who owed me 9000 came in and continued playing games with me....about conditons, taxes, passports, packing, crating, and pressure to have things done....without warning...like packing a huge item and repholstering chairs in 2 says....and of course..no warning...she had three weeks to pay me,,,,but turns up today....and insisted tht it had to be done in two days......and also insulted me...that she wouldnt pay until the chairs were uphosltered...she didnt trust me....
well, crooks do not trust other people....so that was clear. She then kept bargaining three weeks after the deal was made. We finally made the deal.....and i was the looser, but sometime one must use descretion....I would rather have her offer than the chairs.....
she paid in cash..and was insulted that i checked checked each and every 100 dollar bill....and there were a pile of them. Luckily they were all good....but I explained that it wasnt that I didnt trust her, but she had no way of knowing if they were good or not..you see. they are now taking real 5.00 bills, dipping them in acid...and reprinting them over with 100 images.....the way to detect this wis by checking the watermark....if a face of lincoln comes up its fake.
Simultaenously....another customer came in for 10,000 dollar refund. She bopught a fabulous antique DR set...someone told her we cheated her and it was a repro....which it was not!!!! It was a fabulous carved set c 1900-1910 in mint condition....which we paid 7000 dollars...and we sold it for 9500. She belived who ever told her..so we gave her a refund...but now.....i am starting a lawsuit of defamation of character.....and will supeona whoever told her that..and get aan appraiser from Sotherbys or Christies to back us up. My stomach was in a knot all day.
We did taken in another 1200 bucks, but that hardly makes up loosing 10k with tax...and getting insulted to boot. WE DO NOT CHEAT PEOPLE.. WE STAND BEHIND WAHT WE SELL......AND THAT IS WHY IT IS MORE UPSETTING THAN JUST THE MONEY.

The DAy after the trip back in time

2010-11-11T01:43:00.000-08:00

I complained about myself how my writing has been affecteed by my lack of sleep, my typing late in the nite.....and stress. SO right now, its almost 5 in the morning..and i am up...bleary eyed, cant sleep...and choose to try and write something to keep the blog going.
i didnt read the rationalization of what the government thought the missle was in california that no one accepts responsibility for......and paid no attention to anything else in the news, except some poor gay kid who commit suicide....he threw himself under a tracktor trailer...he culdnt stand being bullied anymore about his sexuality...This is beyond sad. The message is that he coulnd talk to his family, or school officials, or even a member of the clergy. He probably had no freinds that accepted him.. for who he really was. And now, another gay angel enters heaven, a sad angel, who never had a chance to live because of the cruelty of other human beings, who havent been taught to accept people....And all the good JEWS,m Christians and Moslems....do not follow the teachings of their elders...of not to judge others......and to be kind, compassionate and understanding. Our religions sayone thing, but in reality teach hate and prejudice. I am sure, some fast talking religious people can rip aapart my comments to shreds. quoting this one and that one,,,,and page number in the bible and all the happy horseshit that compromises the religous comic books that they all read,study, and follow..as if it was real...as if it all happened.....they might as well read MAD MAGAZINE, for it contains more truth, than all the holy books combined. And I will take the chance, that even if there is a good GOD in heaven, he will agree with me, that he didnt write any of the contents of the bibles....nor did he instruct the elders of millenium past to write all that nonsense. And I am sure if thre is a heaven, i will be there..somewhere..probably cooking in the kitchen, or doing stand up comedy for some of the angels who see to much sadnes in the world.
However.. the old and new testaments do hold a few truths to be self evident. Most of the ten commandments work.....and Jesus said dont judge....and he was right.....and various people in the past told us to be good toeach other,, be thy brother and sisters keepers.. be charitable, kind, understanding, accpeting, helpful... Feed the poor and try to heal the sick, Give shelter to thehomeless. And treat your animals and the planet itself respectfully.
All the rest of the crap within the pages are no needed and nonsense. If you al would follow the past paragraph..of what the good conetents of the religous writings said...the planet woul d be paradise....but all the rules and regulations separates us and make life on earth hell.. and the POOR BOYS whose mangle body can testify to that.....I am sure he was told he was different, a sinner, and would burn in hell..and was bullied by his peers..and who knows who else?
This kid now joins the ranks of MAthew Sheppard, who was murdered.....and three other recent suicides that we know of...one being very local form RIdgewood NJ. Tyler Clementi.....a young man, who had everything gong for him...but.....his stupid roomates exposed his life and sexuality onto the internet...and he died, basically of embarassment.
SEX education must be taught in the schools...and from an early age... It will not teach people to be gay or straight...but to accept people for who they are...But I am sure all the good religous people will object to this.....for fear..their chidlren might desicde to change teams.....which is impossible. A straight person can not become gay, as a black person cannot turn white.....But the majoirty are too brainwashed yet to understand this.. WE NEED THE RELGIOUS LEADERS TO START LEARNING THE PROPER THING TO DO....AND IF THEY REALLY BELIVE THAT GOD LOVES EVERYONE AND DOENST JUDGE.. THEY TOO MUST FOLLOW SUIT. AND NOW...I WISH YOOU ALL A GOOD NIGHT.

Todays funeral,the old Neighborhoood,Brain FOG,Cemetaries

2010-11-09T20:07:00.000-08:00

I have noticed for at least the last year, my ability to write has diminished. Partially due to the time of the day that I choose to vent what is left of my brain cells....and the time of day is NIGHT TIME, very often aftern midnight...and even hours past that....when I am half alseep, and running on half the amount of cylinders the mental engine needs to perform. My choice of words...my vocabulary is much to be desired, my frame of refereneces and memory hindered by my tiredness, and stress of running a business that isnt doing as well as it used to.
WHen George Bush was president....(not that I miss him) his persona, and moronic antics alwasy gave me food for thought and I was able to make fun of him, Darth CHENEY and the rest of his Neo NAzi gorup of cartoon characters. SOmehow... I cant seem to find any humor in OBAMA....I feel his pain....he is an intelligent man, that inherited a contry buried in shit....and no matter how he tries to dig us out....we are still buried in it....maybe just a little bit better.... and I have no anger towards him for the condition. WHile the Repuublicans are screaming about his inefficiencies.....WHERE THE FUCK WERE THEY WHEN CHENEY AND BUSH, HALLEBURTON AND EXXON MOBILE WERE ROBBING US BLIND....AND KILLING OUR CHILDREN....AND MURDERING MILLIONS OF MIDEASTERNERS? WHERE WERE THEY AND WHY WERENT THEY SCREAMING..WHY, THEY WERE MAKING TOO MUCH MONEY THAT IS WHY.
SO THERE IS LESS MATERIAL IN THE NEWS THESE DAYS THAT PERKS MY INTEREST...SURE, they werite about kidnappings, thrown a little girl with cancer into a woodchipper, and all other kinds of murders and horrors...but that isnt the type of news that interests me..and really represents what is going on in the country......or in my mind. So I am tired, nervous, often overwhelmed......and have less to write about...but I am trying to look at things differently, and find things to write about that might interest you in style or form or content....and Please for give spelling and grammar... Let me blame my condition..its not stupididty.....

THIS MORNING, I ARRIVED AT THE CHURCH EARLY. THE MASS WAS CALLED FOR 10, BUT I ARRIVED BY 9:30.. I DIDNT WANT TO BE LATE...INCASE TRAFFIC WAS BAD.. tHIS CHURCH..THE SACRED HEART,,,WAS BASICALLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM WHERE I GREW UP. WE MOVED THERE IN 1947, WHEN CLIFTON, WAS STILL 50% FARM LAND. and now, you cant find a postage stamp of emptyland. Next to the Church, is now a little park, where once stood Public School Number 7, where I attened kindergarten thru 8th grade....on the COnrer is wehre the 44 club once stood, the first Tavern, that served Pizza on FRIDAY nights, and where I was first sacred by food that looked like vomit, but later started worshipping as food from the gods. Across from the 44 Club was our first dentists office.....diagonally across from the church, was DR Silvermans old house, where I used to get examinations and was first scared to death by injections from needles that hurt like hell, when it entered my skinny little arms. DOWN the hill from the DRs house was the old Dundee Canal where I went fishing almost every day...when weather permitted it...and my parents permitted it.....and, possibly the most emotional off all memories, was the grave of Father Perlo. A merry, chubby priest that i knew from the church..who died, in 1954...and whose body was laid to rest only three feet from the side walk...which freaked me out then....and even today, its ahrd to belive...he is still right there, almost touching the sidewalk....and thank the people.........that they have the respect to leave his resting place unmolested....and fresh flowers always brightening up the stone. This church is where BOBBY HOFFMAN, was married....I thinkit was in 1955, and DUSTY RHODES and the rest of the team signed my baseball.......so, it was a walk down memory lane for me, prior to the begining of the mass. The memories were good, yet I was overcome with sadness never the less.
BACK TO THE FUNERAL..... The second person to arrive at the church asked me what to do...She said she was JEWISH and didnt know the protocol. I told her that I too was JEWISH and didnt know what we were supposed to do either.......just wait and see. Eventually everyone arrived in an assortment of limosines and fancy cars, and of course a hearse, bearing the bodyof DOTTIES dearly departed mother...Lucy, who met GOD at age 96. Dotty was a wonderful daughter, who took care of her day and night,...devoted to the last, and never complained no matter how tough things got.
The Pall bearers were something out of a horror movie..Most were big and fat and had sqaure heads.....One really looked like our new GOVENOR CHRISTIE, but meaner!!! They were of course all dressed in black, with long black coats.....and blank expressions. It seemed only seconds, that the mass began...and the priest, dressed in white, started saying prayers.
Immediatley my eyes welled up with tears, because that is just the way I am. I seem to absorb sadness from other people; and my tears were for DOtty who lost her mother....and I supposed it brought up all the memories of other funerals that i have atteneded in the past...both Grandmothers,mother and father, friends...aunts and uncels..etc all, and probably, the one i cried the most, second from family, was the funeral...of John F KENNEdY in 1963. I watched it on TV, while eating lunch in CLAYS Restuarant in Lexington KENTUCKY........while at college. Somethings you cannot ever forget....and some holes in your heart never heal.
Dotty and her family sat up front....and I with my boys from the store stayed back about 8 rows. There was an organist upstairs...who played hymns, and accompanied various prayers. My logical mind, expected the priest to talk about Lucy, and her long wonderful life....Her history, her accomplishments, her wonderful children......I expected DOtty and her brother would get up and give a eulogy to a truely wonderful woman. I expected the grandchildren to stand up and tell stories about her and how they will miss her..
But the majority of the one hour were prayers , songs sung by a very wonderful love singer.....that was so good, that I thought it was a tape recording.......but most of the hour was just about how Jesus suffered for all of us...and Saint PAUL did this, and the ROmans did that, and all passages from the bible...that have nothing to do with living on planet earth today. The priest did his routine....stchick...how the angels are coming to get Lucy...and Jesus will forgive her for her sinds....I DONT THINK THIS LADY HAD ANY SINS....SHE WAS ONE HELL OF A GOOD WOMAN, WHO HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL CHILDREN...AND GRANDCHILDREN....AND I AM SICK OF THIS ORIGINAL SIN CRAP......THERE WERE NO SINS...... except he church probably asking for a huge donation for the funeral.
Then the typical eating the Eucharist which is supposed to turn into the flesh of christ when it enters your body.....and the drinking of wine, that turns nto his blood. Please forgive me but this is as pagan as any crazy ritual cromm any tribe anywhere to cannibals...It is scientific nonsense.....if it were only symblic..well that is one ting....but they really belive that the molecular structure changes.....oh well.
I only noticed that the priest was drinking the wine......and quite a few glasses of it....I think he enjoyed it too much... But I will say, I did like the tone of his voice. He wasnt preaching, but was talking gently to the people most of the time...and this did impress me. I liked him. But the funeral wasnt about Lucy and her life....it was only rehashing the old stuff...that everyone already new that was in the bible..that is old hat. I wanted to get up and say something myself......and tell the priest who didnt really know LUCY.. to make it about her and the family.....we all know that Jesus was Crusified.....we all knwo the stories...... but this wasnt about him IT WAS ABOUT HER...AND I WAS PISSED!!
BUT HERE I WAS, A JEW.....NOT A MEMBER OF EITHER THE CHURCH OR FAMILY.....SO IT WAS NONE OF MY BUSINESS... but I silenetly still said a prayer..that her spirit would go where all good spirits goes....and spend a peacheful eternity, which she deserves.
The next step in the eents of the day was teh ride to the cemetary...only a mile from the CHURCH.....it seemed, extrememly filled.....most of the land was covered with tomb stones.....as far as the eye can see....small onees,medium sized ones, and hige ones.....some simply engraved with a name, and other carved with elaborate designes, wreathers, flowers, and religous figures. Yet others had Crosses protruding over the stone, and yet oneters had huge statues of Jesus, or MAry or ANGELS......and then you couldnt help notice, that the wealthy people wanted to show their wealth, even after death....even after most mortals might forget them. the concept of "Iam richer that you" existed after death....and the"MINE IS BIGGER THAN YOURS"exisited after death.....Penis envy exhibited in granite, transcended time...and I almost laughed at the idea. But one doesnt laugh at a funeral....and one doesnt laugh at tens of thousands of tombstones....But all you had to do was look around....and the MINE IS BIGGER THAN YOURS concept was self evident.
The family, that I nver met before..thanked me for coming. I didnt know what to day.....I just said, it was only right to come to pay my respects....DOttie is my freindd.....and I shouldnt be thanked...I felt guilty being thanks...But Since my mother was a travel agent for guilt trips, it is very easy for me to feel guilty about almost anything.....
30 seconds away from the cemetary was the BON FIRE, where Dotty had planned a repast or luncheon.....and it was in the very same room that we had my sisters husbands 60th Birthday PArty.....a while ago...We eventually got back to the store...but I must admit, it was a very emotiional day for me..it dug up the past....that was more or less resting quietly....but upon reflecting...i hvent done so bad.......I have freinds and family, most of my body parts still work quiet well, and I have teeth you can see when i smile.....and still have my sense of humor,and a few functioning brain cells.

And in conclusion....I want you al to know I am working on a new musical....it will be rediculous. It will be called HYPOCRISY...a musical starring GOVE CHRISTIE< SARAH PALIN< GLENN BECK< RUSH LIMBAUG< ANN COULTER< and others... Half the time they are their miserable nasty selves...But when they get together to party......like Jeckl and HYDE...they all change.... CHRISTIE is a drag queen who takes ballet lessons with RUsh LIMBAUG,m PALIN has a split perconality and is a hooker...who works the streets with ANN COULTER..... and Glenn Beck is really a drug dealer and a poligamist.....and of course.....many of them wil be gay and bisexual....and some of the TELVANGEISTS will be involved in their antiqucs..It wil be hilarious....yes, a musical.....and We also must have GEORGE BUSH and CHENEY......
SInce they are in the public eye, I thik I am allowed to use their names....who cares....if they sue me....they can take all my bills that I owe......and a few boxes of anitques. I also want to get some other famous names involved. Like Dr Kevorkian, who just might end up an ANGEL......all roles will be reviersed.......get ready to laugh.

Fear of Death,Crying, and self analysis

2010-11-08T18:38:00.001-08:00

ALL MY LIFE, I HAVE BEEN HIDING FROM ANYTHING TO DO WITH DEATH. FROM BEING AFRAID OF THE WALLPAPER IN MY BEDROOM WHEN I WAS A BABY.....IT WAS A BUNCH OF AIRPLANES HAVING BATTLES IN MIDAIR, WITH FIREPOWER...AND FLAMES.....MY WALLPAPER SCARED ME. I AVAOIDED FUNERALS...AND LUCKILY....NO ONE EVER DIED THAT I NEW UNTIL I WAS AN ADULT...MY GRANDMOTHER FROM MINSK DIED AT 88 OR 89.......I FOUND OUT THAT THE REASON I WAS SO AFRAID OF DEATH....AND FUNERALS WAS I WAS AFRAID TO BEE SEEN CRYING.
YOU SEE, I WAS BROUGHT UP TO BELIVE THAT BIG BOYS DONT CRY..... AND CRYING IN PUBLIC WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAUMATIC FOR ME..SO TRUAMATIC, THAT I ALMSOT DIDNT GO TO MY WON GRANDMOTHERS FUNERAL.
WELL, I DID CRY.....AND MY FATHER CRIED..AND HE WAS A MUCH BIGGER BOY THAN ME...AND IT WAS OK....SO I CRIED IN PUBLIC AND SURVIVED. BUT WHEN WHEN MY FREIND SHERRY DIED SUDDENLY, THE DAY WE WERE TO LEAVE FOR MEXICO......I RAN AWAY.....AT 80 MILES ANHOUR...FOR 4 HOURS.......CRYING, SCREAMING...CURSING GOD........and stayed with freinds....(a shrink) but didn't go to the funeral.....again, couldn't be seen crying. Fast forward.....I creid at my fathers funeral....but when my mother died, i was the man of the family.....so I couldn't break down and cry..so i took a huge amount of tranquilizers. to NOT CRY so my sister and her children wouldn't see me break down.....and then i slept for 6 hours..But I didn't cry....
Which brings me up to today. My Secretary's mother died..and the wake was tonight. The Catholics wake, where the have the body on display for people to say goodbye.......for the first time in my life.....I was able to go..with no hesitation, no apprehension, no fear of emotions or crying....All of the Grannys Attic employees went to show support for her. No fear of seeing a dead body....or fear of how i would act and react to others in her family, So tonight...HAROLD......I finallly grew up!
But if you look back at what i said....i shouldn't be so hard on myself fro being a sensitive person....There really isnt anything wrong with being sensitive....and an ending line in one of my poems...."You are a bigger man with tears in your eyes"

This has been NAtional Valium Week, interesting people..stress

2010-11-04T23:40:00.000-07:00

Sometimes its hard to write things when you cannot mention names.....but there had been trouble in GRANNYS LAND....a lot of he said she said was going on......someone was making trouble, and still can figure out who it was. One Employee wanted to quit because they were told I hated them...whic is very rediculous, when my employees are considered family. I thik the problem was straighened out...
Finances had been in deep kaka....for the main drag, MAPLE AVE, had beeen more or less closed for two months this summer.....they dug it up for new water lines, gas lines, and paved and dug that up and repaved it again...Our entrances had beeen block half the summer...and when people can not get to you..you cannot sell and therefore...cannot make sales....and of course the buildings owner do not want to hear excuses...They had been somewhat patient...but they lost it....and we have to come up eitho a lot of money with a deadline...Hence....the infighting and valium.
But two miracles so far came thru...John bought an item...while I was in Europe and sold it this week for a 9000 profit....and he sold another DR set that was sittign here foe at least two years...for another 9500.......and i supposedly sold another 8000 item...but havent been paid..The customer left 100 dollar deposit..but I have faith in her that she will return.
I am still very sad that we had to fire an employee when I was in EUROPE...John, said he was acting up, wouldnt listen, and was drunk as a skunk one SAT...and since John has great interest in the store. I belived him and gave him the authoirty to fire this person...who, I had also considered family.. But John is deserves the respect of letting him make decisions..never the lesson, I am very sad to loose this person.....of ten years emplyment.....very said indeed.
We had a few very good house calls in the psat week, mostly chachkas..of quality. and that perks me up a bit. But the most interesting even of the week was three days ago. Three people with Latino accents were browsing. Their smiles were infectious.and they understood my broken SPANISH...they were kind enough toeven say I speak very well in PSANISH..which isnt reallay true...They were very nice and diplomatic....(funny choice of words as this will soon play out) We talked about everything from Politics, the History of LAtin America and their particular country.....then we went on to American Politics...the war, religion, poetry, philosphy and JOKES. Our mind sets seemed to mesh incredibly. Their warm just oozed out and they felt the same about me...WHY..who knows....Then the conversation turned to food.....and comparative foods in Central and South America..aand they were surprised I knew how to cook foods from all of them.. Well, I asked them if they would do the honor of coming to my house and I would cook them a dinner with foods from all over the world.....my travels....and collected recipes. They accepted.....
I asked him to fil out a piece of paper with their name and adres and phone number....he smiled, opned his wallet and gave me his card. HE WAS THE AMBASSADOR TO ONE OF THE SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES.. THE BIG CHEESE......THE MAIN HONCHO. AND THE GUY IN THE SUIT WHO WAS VERY WUIET WAS HIS BODY GUARD......HE LIKED THE FACT THAT I INVITED HIM AS A STRANGER..AND HE HAD NO IDEA THAT HE WAS A PERSON OF :INTEREST: AND THE FRIENDSHIP WAS REAL.
gLEN IS PREPARING HIMSELF FOR HIS SPINAL OPERATION. i AM SURE HE IS SCARED..BUT HE WILL HAVE THE VERY BEST DRS ON PLANET EARTH.....dRS FROM COLOMBIA PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL...AND HE COMES PERSONALLY RECOMMENDED BY THE CHEIF BRAIN SURGEOUSN NUEROLOGIST......WHO IS A COUSTER OF OURS FOR YEARS.....THE SAME ONE WHO SAVED ONE OF MY FREINDS LIFE BY REMOVING A HUGE BRAIN TUMOR...ON ONE DAYS NOTICES. i CALL MIKE UP AND SAID I HAD A FREIND WHO NEEDED HIM...AND HE SAID SEND HIM IN TOMORROW........TRY TO GET AN APPOINTMENT IWTH THE MOST FAMOUS BRAIND SURGEOUS IN THE WOROLD IN ONE DAY......
THIS WEEK MY COUSINS DOG DIED AT AGE 17...AND SHE FELT GUILTY OF NEGLECT....i TOLD HER THE DOG HAS A GREAT MOMMY AND ONLY LIVED THAT LONG BECAUSE OF THE WONDERFUL CARE SHE GAVE THE DOG.......BUT NEVER THE LESS, SHE WAS SUICIDAL.....BUT HOPEFULLY OK NOW.........AND ANOHER DEAR FREINDS ALSO WAS SUICIDAL THIS WEEK......SO MORE REASON TO TAKE VALIUMS......WHAT A CRAZY WEEK....OY... AND TEHN WE HAD THE ELECTIONS.
plEASE..AMERICANS ARE SO STUPID.....I CANT STAND IT..nOT THAT THE DEMOCRATS DID SUCH A GOOD JOB, BUT WHERE THE HELL WERE THE COMPLAINING REPUBLICANS, WHEN BUSH AND CHANEY JUST ABOUT BANKRUPTED OUR TREASURY....AND NOW THESE REPUBLICANS WANT TO BLAME IT ALL ON BUSH AND THE DEMOCRATS...TO ME, MOST OF THE REPUBLICANS ARE TRAITORS...BUT THEY ARE TO BLIND TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE DOING....AND SARAH PALIN......IS A DANGEROUS JOKE. I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO THROW HER INTO A GIANT CUSINART...AND MAKE A SOUFFLE OUT OF HER....JUST ASS A LITTLE MOOSE MEAT...... THE WOMAN IS SUCH AN ASSHOLE..AND PEOPLE LISTEN TO GER.....SHE IS A MORON....AND HAS NO IDEA WHAT SHE IS EVEN TLAKING ABOUT...sHE SHOULD HAVE HER WON RELAITY SHOW...AND A DOCUMENTARY ON COLONOSCOPIES....BECASUE SHE SHOULD REALLY BE AN EXPERT ON ASSHOLES.
LUCKILY ANOTHER ASSHOLE, WHO WAS A WITCH, LOST HER ELECTION....NOT THAT WITCHES ARE NECESSARLIY BAD..BUT I DONT THINK WE NEED ONE IN A POSITION OF IMPORTANCE. A WHITE WITCH IS A GOOD PERSON..BUT A BIT OUT THERE....MOST OF THEM REALLY JUST BELIVE IN ALTERNATIVE MEDICINES AND DIFFRENT WAYS OF HEALING..AND USING PSYCHOLOGICAL MEANS OF LETTING THE BODY HEAL ITSELF......THEY REALLY DO NOT TRY TO TURN PEOPLE INTO FROGS AND OTHER ANIMALS....tHEY DO NOT WEAR POINTED BLACK HATS AND FLY ON BROOMS....(IF THEY DID) I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A TWO SEATER BROOM....TO GET AROUND TRAFFICE.
QUICK RECIPE: i DONT KNOW WHAT TO CALL THIS......BUT HERE GOES.. IN A BOT OF BOILING WATER I ADDED CALIFLOWER, CARROTS, ONIONS, GARLIC, POTAOTES, PARSELY, CELERY, EGPLANT...AND BOILED IT DOWN FOR AWHILE...ADDED ONE MED CAN OF TOMATOE SAUCE, CAN OF EVAPORATED MILK, THEN ADDED CUMIN, CORIANDER, CLOVES, TUMERIC,GARLIC, SALT AND PEPPER,AND A HINT OF CURRY POWEDER..AMD HALF POUND OF BUTTER.COOKED IT ALL UNTIL IT ALL WAS SOFT..AND THEN A BIT OF TOBASCO. cOOKED DOWN THE LIQUID IN HALF.....SERVED IT OVER RICE. iT WAS TOO MILD TO BE CALLED A CURRY...BUT THE FLAVORS MELDED NICELY AND IT WAS VERY TASTY.....
tOMORROW, I WILL TAKE 4 CUPS OF IT AND PUT IT INTO A BLENDER, AND ADD A CUP OF MILK AND IT SHALL BE A SOUP....AS WELL.

I killed a big hairy spider:::::made me think....NEW MERCHANDISE,Obama Book throwerVisits us

2010-10-26T18:05:00.000-07:00

I have been afraid of spiders my entire life.. Arachnophbia. the technical name for being afraid of spiders....has become a word many people know, since a movie was made with that name. I used to be terrified.....but the terror has been replaced with just plain scary feeling....the creeps...
I dont know why i am afraid of them....no tramatic incident to my memory.....never the less....I hate them. TONITE in the store...i saw a great big hairy one....with a thick body....in a web that it wove inside the metal frame of a furntiure dolly......Well, when i saw it...there was a little bit of a shock, and I deicded I had to made it go to SPIDER heaven...How? Well it was out in the open...and I couldnt swat it with anything...so I found some spray...that we remove labels with.....I sprayed it..... it seemed to first get bigger....with its legs outstretchs...then it started shaking the web.....and doing stragne things....as if it were drunk....I walked away.....didnt want to watch the final moment when its spirit left its body.....the spider energy....that would go into cyber space, or wherever this energy goes.
When I returned later, the dead spider hung in the web. I didnt reallay feel guilty....but just started thinking about life. The taking of life....is wrong in the HiNDU religion. Every living thing..has a spirit...and it is wrong to take it..
For it might be an incarnation of a human.
But spiders bite, and can cause poisoning.....and infections....and skin disease. I was bit three times, the night before I went to Hungary early this month......and had to go to the DR to get antibiotics...so I feel justified....but what about. killing other living beings...Mice and Rats spread disease, chew thru wires and cause fires.... so we can justify those.... But should we be killing birds, fish and animals???? to eat????? To hunt???? ISnt it healthier to eat plant protein??.. Now wwe communicate with cats and dogs....we wouldnt eat our pets...Is it different to eat a pig, who is smarter than a dog. WHo can communicate, learn tricks and be a great pet...just like a dog? How about killing a baby lamb? What about torturing veal calves..so we can eat tender white meat??????? and am I a hypocrite even writing this because I am not a vegetarian.???? I think about this. and wonder...about the horrors of factory farming..where animals are raised and tortured so we have cheap meat. Animals are terribly abused....chickens have their beaks cut, and their feet clipped...and put into cages where they cannot move....
And cows, hit on the head with a club(sometimes) or other times..their throat slit and then hung up alive on meat hooks for the blood to drain out of their body....slowly dying, in pain and scared!!!
Someday...its possible, we will be horrified that we humans......had factory farming......and created animal concentration camps.....whose horrors, make the HALOCAUST ....Disneyland.
and all of this horror..only backfires on us...the eating of meat has been found to be the major cause of heart disease, and contributes to cancer...so we do pay for our deeds. KARMA in action.!!?

Ok, lets lighten up..... New stuff in the store.....Fabulous fabulous two door Country French armoire with carved flowers and birds....the wood looks like walnut....a used dining room set....flame mahogany top...with 8 Chippendale Chairs..and matching breakfront.....Not antique but nice.... a cheap walnut office desk and matching credenza...but very nice style.....and clean.....a very nice solid mahogany sidebaord..Chippendale with ball and claw feet.....A leather or faux leather high back tufted desk chair....paintings and prints....benches, Chinese Chippendale Bedroom set quite spectacular....14 outrageous chairs....made of policed bone that looks like IVORY.....and a giant....11,14feet conference tables....inlaid mahogany and leather....largest table i have ever had in 45 years....a bunch of fabulous antique cutglass....bowls, compotes, dishes...glasses, Waterford, vases...Pair of Majolica Lamps with roses from ITALY, Pair of Crystal boudoir lamps....Pair of inlaid Pembroke tables....walnut or mahog....and so much more......you cannot belive how much stuff comes in.....including the best mahogan 4 poster queen size 4 poster bed...complete with new mattress and all the drapery,dust ruffles etc.....French Empire inlaid chest of drawers with ladies head and wings in bronze.....etc
THE CRAZY PERSON WHO THREW A BOOK AT OBAMA LAST WEEK OR TWO WEEKS AGO...WAS IN OUR STORE TODAY...THIS NUT.....IS A CUSTOMER FOR MANY YEARS. HE MAY EVEN READ MY BLOG. HE IS A GENIUS LEVEL, RESIDENT, OF PAKISTANI DECESNT.....ALTHOUGH HE IS AN ANTIQUE DEALER, HE CLAIMS TO BE A PHILOSPHER...AND TOLD ME HE HAS FIGURED OUT HOW TO FIND WORLD PEACE THRU USING MATHEMATIC FORMULAS... HE TRIED TO EXPLAIN THEM TO ME FOR A FEW YEARS...AND ALTHOUGH, I KNOW HE IS SMART...TO ME, THEY DONT MAKE SENSE.....MAYBE TO HIM IT MAKES SENSE..LIEK CRAZY THINGS SEEM TO MAKE SENSE IN DREAMS WE HAVE, YET UPON WAKENING...THEY ARE NONSENSE.
HE TOLD ME HE KNOWS JOE BIDEN (I DONT THINK SO) AND JOE TOLD HIM TO THROW THE BOOK UP ON THE STAGE...AND OBAMA WILL PICK IT UP LATER.....AND READ IT.. BUT THE PRESS MADE A BIG DEAL OUT OF THIS....AND SAID HE THREW IT AT HIM, AS THE GUY THREW A SHOE AT BUSH.....HE SAID.....SINCE BIDEN TOLD THE POLICE AND SECRET SERVICE THAT HE TOLD HIM TO THROW IT...NO ARREST AND CHARGES WERE MADE.. THIS IS HIS STORY......HE SHOWED ME THE VIDEO ON THE COMPUTER(YOU TUBE) AND SOME ARTICLES.. NOW HE IS FAMOUS.....HE IS A LEGEND IN HIS OWN MIND.

WHY I MISS GEORGE BUSH, BARBARAS PARTY,HUNGARIAN STEW

2010-10-25T20:28:00.000-07:00

I DO MISS GEORGE BUSH....WHY? I HAVE NO ONE OF HIS STATUS TO MAKE FUN OF....AND ALTHOUGH THEIR ARE MINOR ASSHOLES IN THE GOERNMENT AND IN THE MEDIA...AND ON TV, NO ONE HAS THE QUALITIES(OR LACK OF THEM) THAN FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE. HIS STUPIDITY....AMAZES ME TO THIS DAY..BUT WHAT AMAZES ME MORE, WAS THE STUPIDITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO ELECT HIM (IF THEY REALLY DID..OR WAS IT FIXED TWICE)....TO OPFFICE, AND THEN, AS HE SUCKED THE ENERGY,LIFE AND MONEY OUT OF THE COUNTRY..THEY ACCEPTED IT... THERE WERE NO PROTESTS, STRIKES...JSUT SOME LOW KEY BITCHING AND MOANING.....If this was the 1960's, the streets would have been jammed with people screaming for his head... Glad you are gone GEorge, but I still miss you, your moronic smile, and incredible nonsensical statements.....and I will always wonder, if you are astupid as people think you are?
Sarah Palin....is next. The difference is that she is a big nothing......her father wasnt president....and she didnt go to YALE, and pretend to be a student...Her statements are as stupid as Georges... If there was a debate between the two of them.....I would love to be the moderator... It would be fun...I would try to find questions toask....on the remote side, so that none of them could anser any of them.... Like "what is your name?" Where do you live?" Can you See Russia from your bedroom window..?" Did you ever have sex with your daughters boyfriend" and I bet they BOTH WOULD SAY YES!!!!
LET ME SAY A FEW WORDS THAT ARE NOT MODEST AND HUMBLE. I THINK I AM MORE INTELLIGENT THAN BOTH OF THEM PUT TOGETHER... I THINK I KNOW WHAT IS FAIR AND JUST. I HAVE A LITTLE IDEA OF HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY. I DO NOT CLAIM TO UNDERSTAND ECONOMICS....AND THE RELATIONSHIP OF BANKS, MORTGAGES, GROSS NATIONAL PROFITS...UNEMPLYMENT STATISTICS,,,PRINTING OF MONEY, INTERST RATES,...AND THE INTERACTION OF ALL THE ABOVE AND MANY MORE SUBJECT..THAT ARE ALL INTER-RELATED. BUT DO I THINK THAT I AM QUALIFIED TO BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE USA..... NO...NO ...NO, BUT LET ME SAY THIS....MORE QUALIFIED THAN THOSE BOZOS!!!!!
WHO REALLY IS QUALIFIED? no ONE....NOT ONE PERSON. tHE WORLD HAS GOTTEN SO COMPLICATED,,,THAT WE NEED MORE THAN ONE PRESIDENT... wE NEED A PRESIDENT FOR ECONOMICS...A PRESIDENT FOR WORLD POLITICS. PRESIDENT FOR INTERNAL AFFAIRS....AND SUCH SUBDIVISIONS....IT WOULD BE A PANEL OF PRESIDENT THAT WOULD STUDY AND THEN MEET EACH DAY.... aND THEY WOULD WORK TOGETHER....EACH WITH THEIR OWN STAFF OF ADVISORS......
aNY ONE MAN IS OVERWHLEMED WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS....ITS AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK. OBAMA IS REALLY DOING THE BEST THAT ONE MAN CAN DO.

TONIGHT MY FRIEND BARBARA..THE BLOND GORGEOUS LAWYE INVITED ME OVER FOR A SMALL DINNER PARTY....TO HONOR ONE OF HER FRIENDS THAT FLEW IN FROM ARKANSAS....THERE WAS TO BE 6 OF US...WHEN I GOT THERE I SAW THE DESSERTS....ONE HUGE WHIPPED CREAM CAKE, ANOTHER CHOCOLATE CAKE, A PLATTER OF FRESH SUPER COOKIES.....AND A RASPBERRY CHEESE CAKE. alL THIS FOR 6 PEOPLE...no!!! tHE WHIPPED CREAM CAKE ALONE WOULD SERVE 12....THIS WAS HIGH CALORIC SUICIDE.
THEN....SHE OPENED THE OVEN..OMG!!! ONE HUGE TRAY OF STUFFED SHELLS....ANOTHER HUGE TRAY OF STUFFED TORTELLINI, AND ANOTHER HUGE ONE OF SAUSAGE AND HOME MADE MEATBALLS.... EACH TRAY WAS THE SIZE OF ONE OF THOSE LARGE BUFFET ALLUMINUM ONES THAT SERVE 30 PEOPLE..... tHEN THERE WAS A TOSSED SALAD, ENOUGH TO FEED A GRAZING HERD OF CATTLE (CATTLE DO NOT LIKE BALSAMIC DRESSING-iDO)
IT WAS REDICULOUS...BUT THAT IS BARBARA...ALWAYS AFRAID THAT THERE WONT BE ENOUGH FOOD. I THINK SHE COULD HAVE FED 25 PEOPLE EASILY....AND MORE. WE ALL ATE AND ATE AND ATE....AND DIPPED THE FRESH MADE GARLIC BREAD INTO THE SAUCE....I COULDNT MOVE....SHE SAID...EAT MORE...EAT... I THOUGHT I WOULD PUKE I WAS SO FULL.....AND THE FOOD WAS SO DELICIOUS........WELL, I BROUGHT HOME MOST OF THE WHIPPEDCREAM CAKE, AND HALF OF THE CHOC CAKE FOR MY EMPLOYEES TOMORROW...
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT VISITING BARBARAS HOUSE...HER FRIENDS ARE ALL HAND PICKED.. EVERY ONE I HAVE MET THRU HER OVER THE MANY YEARS THAT I KNOW HER ARE ALWAYS WONDERFUL, WARM AND SPIRITUAL. WHEN YOU ARE IN HER HOUSE,,,,JUST BEING THERE IS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE...PICKING UP THE LOVE AND WARMTH OF HER FRIENDS...everyone is always real...no one tries to impress anyone.....no one talks about their portfolio, your their wealth,....its always about good things...positive things...and when you leave....you leave full of food and full of love and warmth. i feel so blessed to be part of a social situation with these kinds of people.

HUNGARIAN STEW.....AN OLD HUNGARIAN RECIPE THAT I INVENTED THE OTHER NIGHT!!!

I LOOKED IN THE FREEZER AND THERE WERE TWO LONDON BROILS OR SOME KIND OF STEAK HANGING OUT, WAITING TO GET FREEZER BURN....I THOUGHT IT WAS TIME TO DEFROST AND PREPARE IT INTO SOMETHING..THESE WERE SALE STEAKS, USUALLY A BIT ON THE TOUGHT SIDE.
SO.....I DEFROSTED THEM.....BROWNED THEM IN A LITTLE OIL AND SET ASIDE.
NEXT I SAUTED TWO LARGE ONIONS....A FEW CLOVES OF GARLIC...IN A BIT OF OIL, AND THEN READDED THE STEAKS,,,i THEN ADDED A LARGE CAN OF SAUERKRAUT, TWO MORE CANS OF WATER.....A TABLESPOON OF CARAWAY SEEDS....AND LET IT SIMMER FOR A FEW HOURS...UNTIL THE WATER MORE THAN HALF EVAPORATED..AND THE STEAK WAS ABOUT TO FALL APART. I THEN THICKEND IT WITH CORN STARCH.....ADDED SALT AND PEPPER TO TASTE, A TABLESPOON OF VINEGAR.....BROUGHT TO A BOIL, THEN SHUT OFF. AND ADDED ONE CONTAINER OF SOUR CREAM....AND THAT IS IT...AND WOW!!!!! DELICIOUS. SERVED IN SOUP BOWLS, IT WAS MORE OF A STEW THAN A SOUP....BUT THINNED OUT, ITS A SOUP.

Getting acclimated back in the USA, MOre NEW STUFF

2010-10-22T21:22:00.000-07:00

I have been back from Europe for over a week.....and have to get acclimated to the time schedule, working, eating American food, NOT sleeping late...and putting up with customers.....But I do like to work....so I consider what I do..an adventure, rather than WORK...
I almost lost it today on a customer.....Her son is a customer and he brought her here to buy a rug... John gave them a price..and I even dropped the price on a real PErsian RUG in mint condition....The woman said it wasnt worth it...as if she new which end was up....He was 5 hudnred years old and walked with a cane. I think she might have been Iranian as well.. NOW HERE THIS>>> I went along with John, not knowing this was a more expensive rug..that was brought down from floor 3 to floor one.....This rug was worth at least 2000 and the Broomless witch....was bargaining....even though I made a mistake.....I just said in a harsh tone..PLEASE
I know my business....you cant even buy a wool machine rug make in NOrth CAROLINA....for under 1400;.......long story short, she bought it...and had the gaul to ask for a free deliver...and to put it down in her h9ome i BROOKLYN......I also gave a harsh NO! These people have more balls than the YANKEES>
Tonight we bought out the condo ...of a woman who inherited a lot of stuff that was from GRANNYS ATTIC auction and store years ago....SHe was lovely and kind..and fair...and even sent out for PIZZA for the boys who schlepped. This lady makes drapes and other window treatments and is an artist in her field......and we will promote her in the store...to get her work and make a few bucks.
One of our other nutty customers...garbage picks...she is a horder.....the woman owns a large piece of property not far from here....what was once a farm....her SUV looks like an 4 wheel garbage dump....yesterday she was here...and wore a green Sweatshirt.....with remnants of every meal she ate for the last week....she was filty.....and smelled like pis....maybe she has diabetes...or has a cat....or??????
Richy caught her stealing on SUNDAY..but we leat it go..she came back on MONDAY and spent 200...and 50bucks yesterday..... I think she is in the begining stages of ALZHEIMERS and wonder if i shouuld ask her about her family....or call some social agency to look in on her now and then. or..MOND MY OWN BUSINESS...WHICH I RARELY DO.
I AM NOT HAPPY WITH OBAMAM AND HIS WAY OF HANDLING DONT ASK DONT TELL.....AND THEN MAKES A SPEECH ON GAY KIDS KILLING THEMSELVES.... I AM STILL PRO OBAMA, BUT THINK HE IS MAKING A MISTAKE IN THE WAY HE IS HANDLING SOME THINGS.
HAVE TO SLEEP NOW......CANT KEEP MY EYES OPEN...WILL DISCUSS THE WORLD CONDITION IN THE NEXT BLOG.....NOTHING VERY INTERESTING HAS HAPPENED THIS WEEK..BUT STAY TUNED.

I CAN EXCUSE THEIR BEHAVIOR DUE TO LACK OF EDUCATION, AND AN EXTREME LACK OF 7-11'S IN THE JUNGLES/
OR I CAN SAY, I NEVER MET A CANNIBAL THAT I DIDNT LIKE....SO ,IN ACTUALLITY I AM AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY RACIST.....OR AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PREJUDICE PERSON....WITH NO GROUP OF ANY TYPE SACRED FROM MY HUMOR OR TIRADES.

SO I WILL GET TO THE POINT...I JUST PICKED UP AN ULTRA ORTHODOX ADVERTISING MAGAZINE...I WILL NOT MENTION THE NAME BECAUSE THE OWNERS IS OR WAS A CUSTOMER....I WANT TO SERIOUSLY POKE FUN AT TWO OF THE ADS.... IN THE MAGAZINE...

AND LETS SAY, YOU GOT SICK...DO YOU GET YOUR DEPOSIT BACK IF YOU DO NOT SHOW UP......SO INORDER TO SAVE 10DOLLARS, ON A 100BUCK MEAL...YOU HAVE TO PRE BOOK...AND PAY IN ADVANCE......
I BET THEY DIDNT GET EVEN ONE PERSON......AND ALTHOUGH.....THEY OFFER A DISCOUNT....I WOULD WONDER, IF THEIR FOOD IS GOOD AS THEIR POLICIES.....YOU MIGHT GET POISONED......

WHILE WE ARE KNOCKING AL QUEDA AND THE TALIBAN...AS ARCHAIC RELGIOUS FUNDMENTALISTS, WHO HAVE VERY STRICK DRESS CODE FOR WOMEN, AND BEAT THEM WITH STICKS IN THE STREETS WIF THEIR DRESS FALLS FROM THE CODE.....THE CODE MADE BY VERY VERY NASTY AND HORNY MUSLIM MEN,...WHO ARE A MEMBER OF THE ROYAL ORDER OF THE DIVINE HYPOCRITE..WHICH IS OPEN TO ALL RELGIONS...JEWISH AND CATHOLIC AS WELL.
THE MUSLIMS STILL STONE WOMEN TODEATH...FOR ADULTY....OR EVEN TALKING TO STRANGERS....IF THE HUSBAND PRESSES CHARGES......(NICE PEOPLE NO?) wELL I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT ON ULTRA JEWSIH ORTHODOX GROUP THAT PLACED AN ADD IN THIS MAGAZINE..THAT REMINDS ME OF TALIBAN "LIGHT"...BUT IT DID MAKE ME LAUGH, AND REMINDED ME OF SOMETHING MY GRANDMOTHER IDA FROM MINSK USED TO WEAR...."STOCKINGS" THE KIND THAT YOU CANT SEE THROUGH....THEY ARE MORE OR LESS SKIN COLORED....BUT ARE OPAQUE CLOTH...I ALWAYS THOUGHT OLD LADIES WORE THEM TO COVER THEIR HAIRY, OR VARICOSE COVERED LEGS. I NEVER GAVE ANY THOUGHT THAT THE REASON WOULD GO FUTHER THAN THAT....AND IN HER CASE, THAT WAS PROBBALY THE CASE.
i WILL NOT WRITE THE ENTIURE PAGE AD, BUT GIVE A SUMMATION....WRITTEN BY OLDMEN NO DOUGHT...WHO ARE SO RELIGIOUS, THEY MAKE UP THEIR OWN RULES....AND THEN, SOMEHOW CAN ATTRIBUTE THIS TO SOMETHING IN THE BIBLE...THAT GOD WANTS.....
HERE GOES.."WEARING STOCKINGS IS OBLIGATORY....(LIKE YOU COULD BUY STOCKINGS IN ISREAL IN THE TIME OF MOSES" WEARING NO STOCKINGS OR TRANSPARENT STOCKINGS IS PROHIBITED (they didnt say prohibited by whom-or quote any bibical passage) They go one to say that one must wear stockings that doenst allow the skin to be seen. OH MY GOD>>>> you cant see skin... If you see the hair leg of an old lady, you might turn to salt or stone...and if you see the leg of a young woman, you might get an erections so hard...the veins wouuld burts and you would die....you would bleed to death in the street....
IS IT NO WONDER THAT THE ORTHODIX...MAINLY THE HASSIDICS, ARE SO FRUSTRATED, THAT THEY ARE THE LARGEST BUYER IN NYC OF PORNOGRAPHY... and this was told to me by one of my customers who....owns stores in teh city and BROOKLYN...so i got it from the horses mouth/
THey also continue..that the pictures on the packages and not be inappropriate....what does that mean...you cant show a photo of a leg, where you can see skin...or does it mean, you cant see the womans vagina above her legs where old lady stocking....
THESE FLYING ANUSES GO ON TO "WE ASK THE MANUFACTURES AND RETAILERS OF STOCKINGS FOR WOMAN..TO NOT EVEN MANUFACTURE STOCKINGS THAT ARE TRANSPARENT...FOR IT WEAKENS THE RELIGION.... PLEASE....WHEN ARE TH RABBIS GOING TO START WALKING IN THE STREETS OF MONSEY AND BROOKLYN, AND PASSAIC....WITH STICKS TO CHECK WHAT THE WOMEN ARE WEARING UNDER THERI SKIRTS...THE SKIRTS.....USUALLY ARE TO THE GROUND ANYWAY..SO YOU CANNT SEE THEIR LEGS........
THE AD GOES..ON....AND SAYD THAT THIS LAW HAD TO BE COMPLIED WITH, SO THE JEWISH PEOPLE WILL BE BLESSED WITH HEALTHY AND HOLY CHILDREN AND HEALTH AND PROSPERTITY FOR ALL THE PEOPLE AND IN THE FINAL REDEMPTION......PLEASE.. THIS GIVES ME A KOSHER HEDACHE..AND IT EMBARASSES ME....AND YET...I FIND IT FUNNY AS WELL..... TO THINK, MOST OF THE OLD LADIES LIKE GRANDMA IDA.......WOULD BECOME TEMPTRESSES IN REGULAR STOCKINGS...I WOULD SY..YES, PLEASE...ALL OLD LADIES WITH HAIRY AND VARICOSE LEGS WHERE THESE STOCKING THAT HIDE YOUR LEGS
NOW THE ARTICLE CONCLUDES WITH THE NAMES OF 8 RABBIIS...WHO AUTHORIZED THE AD....BUT I AM WONDERING IF THEY ARE THE OWNERS OF THE FACTORY THAT MAKES THE STOCKINGS...NOTHING WOUULD SURPRISE ME.
IF I OFFENDED ANYONE WITH THE ABOVE STORE.....GOOD!!!

NOW IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GET REDICULOUS...THINK OF THIS SCENARIO FOR A FAR FETCHED COMEDY......TWO GROUPS....ONE HASSIDC AND ONE TALIBAN FLY DOWN TO THE AMAZON BASIN AND TRY TO CONVERT THE CANNIBALS.....WHILE MOST OF THE FUNDAMENTALIST WIL EVENTUALLY BECOME PART OF THE MENU......THEIR APPARELL AND HAIR STYLES START TO BECOME PART OF THE CANNIBALS ATTIRE FOR FORMAL OCCASIONS....THINK ABOUT LITTLE CANNIBALS RUNNING AROUND WITH BONES IN THEIR NOSES, WITH CURLS DOWN THEIR EARS, AND WEARING BIG BLACK HATS AND COATS....AND CARRYING THEIR BOWS AND ARROWS.. OTHERS WITH WEAR THE JALABAS, THE KAFTANS OR ROBES THAT THE AGFANIS WEAR....WOUULD MAKE A FUNNY MOVIE.....AND THE FEW SURVIVING MEMBER OF FUNDAMENALIST. WHO JOINED THE CANIBALS, NOW HAVE TO KOSHER THEIR KILL.....OR MAKE IT HALAL....
JEWISH WOMEN WILL TEACH THE CANNIBAL LADIES HOW TO MAKE BAGELS...AND CHICKEN SOUP AND THE MUSLIMS WILL MAKE HUMAN SHISH KABABS.....AND SO ON...ITS LATE....NOW 4:30 IN THE MORNING, AND MY LEVEL OF CREATIVITY OS LOW, BUT STILL REDICULOUS.....BUT NO MORE REDICULOUS THAN DEORGE BUSH SAYING THAT THERE WREE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION IN IRAQ....

i am up over 25 hours now...even the two sleeping pills i took on the plane didnt work....didnt sleep a minute......and the food on the flight from ROME to here..was beyond belief...MC DONALDS WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED GOURMET TO THE SHIT THEY SHIRT......THE MAIN COURSE WAS CALLED RISSOTO. IT RESEMBLED A PLASTIC CONTAINER FILLED WITH RICE, PUS....(YEECH) AND CHEESE...WITH ONE DEAD PIECE OF BROCCOLI FLOATING IN IT....TASTELES...IT CAME WITH WAS A SALAD WITH NO DRESSING...AND A PIECE OF HAM...ONE BITE SIZE PIECE OF CHEESE, A ROLL ABOUT THE SIZE HALF DOLLAR, AND A FEW CRACKERS.....IT WAS VILE! tHE SNACK WAS WORSE.....THE MAIN OJECT..WHICH REALLY WAS NOT EDIBLE WAS A HALF MOON PASTRY....A PIROGI...FILLED WITH SOME KIND OF SHIT...WHETHER IT WAS SOFT CHEESE...OR SQUISHED BRAINS...IT WAS NAUSEATING....AND A PICE OF CAKE WITH NO FLAVOR WHATSOEVER...AND IT WASNT MINE OPINION....BUT A CONSENSUS OF OTHER OFFENDED FLIERS.....

Tips On Being Happy,FOOTBALL SCANDAL, COLOMBUS WAS JEWISH?)

2010-10-11T10:10:00.000-07:00

Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard claims you can practice your way to happiness, and he should know: After MRI scans showed that he experienced extreme levels of positive emotions and few negative ones, he became known as "the happiest man in the world." Trained as a cell biologist in France, Ricard moved to the Himalayas in 1972 to study Buddhism. He's now a translator, a photographer and the Dalai Lama's French interpreter. His books -- the proceeds of which go to 41 humanitarian projects in the remote Himalayas -- include "The Monk and the Philosopher" (a dialogue with his father, a famed philosopher), "Happiness: a Guide to Developing Life's Most Important Skill," and, most recently, "Why Meditate?" AOL Health spoke with Ricard about the cultivation of happiness, the benefits of altruism and how 30 silent minutes a day can change your life.

Do you think you're the happiest man in the world?
It's better than the unhappiest person in the world. It was a cover line on a Buddhist independent journal. Of course it's cute, but it doesn't rest on scientific evidence. I took part in some ongoing studies on compassion. It's a jump to say my results mean that.

What is happiness?
Happiness is a way of being rather than an endless search for experiences. Pleasure is fine but depends on things that are subject to change: people, places, things. Something tastes good; fire warms you when you're cold. But then this experience turns neutral or averse: Even the most beautiful music is unpleasant after 24 straight hours. But happiness is a more durable state. It's a cluster of basic human qualities that nurture a state of fulfillment, flourishing, of appreciating your life. It's inner freedom, inner strength, inner peace. These are the resources to deal with the struggles of life. The more you experience happiness, the deeper and more stable it becomes.

You link meditation with happiness. Why?
Meditation is not an exotic eastern practice but is actually mind training. We all have a mind and can work with it.

So the basis of happiness is mind training?
In the sense that mind training means harnessing the potential we have for less vulnerability to provocation from outside. Meditation helps you cultivate a better emotional balance and inner freedom so you are not a slave of impulses like anger and craving.

And you do this by sitting for 30 minutes a day?
There are different types of meditation, and I tried to gather all these exercises into a small manual for a Western audience ["Why Meditation?"]. But in clinical trials that study the effects of meditation in the West, 30 minutes a day has been the foundation. We always see that after three months, meditation has had a significant effect in reducing stress and the tendency toward depression. It reinforces the immune system and positive emotions. It's been studied for 10 years in the West. Sitting for that precious 30 minutes modifies the quality of the other 23 hours and 30 minutes.

So happiness is a skill?
Pleasure cannot be cultivated -- only renewed. But you can cultivate inner peace, strength, freedom -- the qualities that create genuine happiness. We start with different baselines: For instance, everyone will not become a champion of tennis, but within a few months or a few years of training, even a beginner can become a decent player and enjoy it.

Do negative emotions, like anger, have a purpose?
If you witness someone beating a child or an injustice, anger can motivate you to do something. But all the studies have shown that people who systematically vent their anger just reinforce their tendency to be angry. You don't just want to suppress it or you'll be like a time bomb. Instead, you look at your anger and let it vanish. When you cease to fuel a fire, it slowly dies out.

You're not talking about being a pushover.
A mother who gets angry and aggressive is taken over by nerves. A mother can be loving but still firm, straight and a bit severe. You can extend that attitude of the mother to others.

What about sadness?
Sadness is not incompatible with happiness because happiness is not just a pleasant sensation. Sadness can help you feel compassion. Even when you are sad, you can continue to do wonderful things.

What is the relationship between happiness and ambition?
Ambition for wealth, fame or power puts our hopes and fears outside ourselves. It's individualistic, self-centered and egocentric. But ambition in terms of becoming a better person, preserving the environment or finding inner peace can motivate you.

The search for material goods seems to become a cycle for people -- the emptier they feel, the more money and stuff they seek to fill the void.
Yes, they feel empty so they go for a shopping spree or get a younger wife. You get addicted to selfishness.

Is it a lost cause with some people?
Sometimes people say, "I can't sleep." I say, "We have a clinic next door -- go help, and I bet after two weeks, you will be able to sleep." They come back with a more humane perspective and find satisfaction and fulfillment.

So to snap out of it, help other people?
I've seen many successful people who feel empty. They start helping underprivileged kids and find such meaning in life. Everything is different.

People assume altruism may make them unhappy.
Your primary motive is to help others, but it's also the best way to be happy yourself. Ayn Rand said that you should be selfish and should not sacrifice any part of yourself. She didn't get the point. Altruism is the best way to make yourself happy. If you look at living beings and see how your actions can contribute to a more compassionate society, you flourish.

FOODBALL PLAYERS SCADAL.....BRETT FAVRE.... OH MY, HE SENT SOME WOMAN, OR YOUNG LADY PIX OF HIM NAKED.... WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL. ITS ONLY REALLY BECAUSE WE HOLD WAHT WE HAVE BETWEEN OUR LEGS SACRED GROUND.....(OR IN WOMEN, THEIR TITTIES AS WELL).... WELL, OUR SACRED PARTS...ARE ALSO CONSIDERED "DIRTY" BY SOME GROUPS...AND ONLY USED ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS TO MAKE BABIES....WHICH IS THE ARAB...AND HASSIDIC CONCEPT...ALTHOUGH, THOSE HYPOCRITES...WILL STILL RUN AROUND...FOOL AROUND,,,,,AND ARE THE LARGEST BUYERS OF PORN IN THE NYC METRO AREA...
SO WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL IF THIS LADY SAW BRETS WEENIE AND TUSH..
LETS THINK ABOUT..EVERYMAN HAS THEM...SO ITS NOT ANYTHING THAT USUALUAL....UNLESS IT IS DEFORMED AND NASTY....THEN HE WOULDNT HAVE SENT IT....SO, HE MUST HAVE DECENT SPECIMENS..THEREFORE..THE ONLY REASON THE WORLD IS MAKING THIS INTO A SCANDAL IS THAT HE IS MARRIED AND CHEATING.....AND THAT WE THE PEOPLE ACCEPT NUDITY AS A TERRIBLE THING...
I THINK HE SHOULD POST HIS NUDE PHOTOS ON YOU TUBE..AND WE CAN ALL BE THE JUDGE IF THE PHOTOS ARE OBSCENE OR NOT...THIS IS JUST THE MEDIA AND LAWYERS BRINGING UP NONSENSE AGAIN...TO GET OUR MINDS OFF THE HORRIBLE ECONOMY, THE WARS IN THE MIDEAST.....THE COST OF MEDICAL INSURANCE AND MEDICINE, THE RISING PRICES OF EVERYTHING.......ITS LIKE THE ROMAN "BREAD AND CIRCUSES" ALL OVER AGAIN, PLUS THEY THROW IN A SPORTS FIGURES WEENIE FOR GOOD LUCK.

MY COMPUTER ISNT WORKING RIGHT...IT WENT DEAD AGAIN FOR HALF A DAY....WORKING NOW...BUT IT DOENST SEEM TO WANT TO TAKE A CHARGE ALL THE TIME...IT WONT EVEN USE THE ELECTRIC CONECTION.....MAYBE THERE IS A SHORT IN THE WIRES/????? BUT AS LONG AS IT WORKS I WILL CONTINUE WRITING.

THE PRIME MINISTER OF HUNGARY IS EXPECTING THE REST OF THE DAM TO COLLAPSE AND ANOTHER TOXIC FLOOD TO INNUDATE THAT PART OF HUNGARY...VERY SCARY.....TEN FEET OF WATER CAME RUSHING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN, AND FILLED UP HOUSES....WITH PEOPLE AND PETS INSIDE.. 7 DIED, ONE IS MISSING, AND 200 OR MORE ARE IN HOSPITALS..WITH SEVERE BURNS....8000 PEOPLE FROM ONE VILLAGE WAS EVACUATED BEFORE THE NEXT FLOOD HAPPENDS....WHICH COLD BE VERY SOON. TODAY THE CEO OF THE COMPANY..WAS ARRESTED.....BUT HE SUPPOSEDLY IS INVOLVED INT HE GOVERNMENT) SO NOT MUCH WILL HAPPEN TO HIM......SLAP ON THE WRIST....PEOPLE WILL GET SOME FINANTIAL COMPENSATION..ALTHOUGH, THEY DONT THINK PEOLE CAN GO BACK IN LIVE IN HTE SAME PLACE...THE "HEAVY METALS" ARE FAR TO DANGEROUS..

tHE FOOD IN THE LITTLE RESTAURANTS HERE IS GREAT..... TODAY FOR LUNCH, I WANDERED DOWNTOWN.....THEY HAD A SPECIAL....A HUGE PLATE FULL OF HOMEMADE NOODLE DUMPLINGS...COVERED WITH PORK PAPRIKASH, A BOWL OF HOMEADE ONION SOUP, BOTH FOR 3.50 I HAD A SIDE ORDER OF SPICEY PICKLED PEPPERS AND PICKLES.... ABOUT 1.00 AND BREAD..HOMEMADE RYE BREAD IS ABOUT TEN CENTS A SLICE...

SINCE I WAS IN GRAMMAR SCHOOL, THERE WAS A SILLY LITTLE POEM AND SONG...."IN 1492, COLOMBUIS WAS A JEW"..ONE IN ABOUT THE 9TH GRADE, RONNIE EPSTEIN....SAID THAT HER FAMILY DID JEWISH GENEOLAGY AND THAT THEY FOUND THEY WERE RELATED TO COLOMBUS...I put that info into my brain....and left it there for years....but now it seems that the controversy has increased......and some of my ideas and thought have been incorporated into the information...being considered about the man...The bad parts..he was a nasty son of a bitch, cruel, mean and couldnt really be trusted. He kidnapped people form the Americas, took them away from their land and family and presented them to the KING and Queen of Spain,....his form of show and tell, and to get more money for further explorations.
But....his name COLON... was not a typical Catholic name.. it was JEWISH.The JEWS of Spain, were ordered OUT!!! AUG 2 was the last date that they could leave (without their posssesions..only the clothing on their backs-they had to leave everything)
Originally Colombus(which was not his name.....his name was COLON) i have to find out why we call him COLOMBUS) was supposed to leave by the end of trhe month.....but he left on AUG 2, the last days jews were allowed out...It also wasw a JEWISH Holiday commemorating other progoms the jews had faced from the time of the BIBLE....by ROMANS, and others...MOSLEMS INC....
On his three boats, he had many former JEWISH people...former....they converted to Catholicism rather than be burned alive by the inquisition...Invented by the POPE, and enforced by the KING and QUEEN and TORQUMQNDA some kind of Prime minister of torture....
CHRIS COLMOBUS has a converted JEW as his interpreter and scribe of the trip, and many others, who very recently....converted...went with him..and it was also known, that he hung around with other CONVERSOS, and Marranos (those who still practiced Judaism in the dark) hidden......Catholic by daylight and JEWISH by candlelight.....
One of my theories is that he was trying to find another place for all the JEWISH Population of Europe to live.........but then, when he didnt find the right route....he was hoping for....he abbandoned the idea, and tried to turn it into a business trip....He eventually failed and died a very broke guy in prison.
So, the ITALIANS.....dont want to hear about this guy....that he mightbe JEWISH...but...there are still a lot of ITALIAN JEWS...so, the Italians wouldnt be giving up a hero....he just woul d have come from JEWISH ancestry...and Oh my GOD wouldnt take be terrible....that JEW discovered American.....The Parades would have to forget about dragging around all kinds of religious symbols.....unless they started schlepping a giant menorah....and the star of DAVID....and maybe they would start throwing matzohs into the crows off a large float...of a boat, a bunch of men....and giant cauldrons of chicken soup.

Hillbillies in HUNGARY PArt 4

2010-10-10T10:45:00.001-07:00

Didn't write for a night or two..... some of the local new wine, which seems harmless and lacking alcohol, made me sleepy....It creeps up on you, and then,,,,,,,I feel asleep,but never got drunk from the home made brew, made only 75 yards from here by Pishta Bottchi.....or Uncle Pishta Please ignore the spelling of his name in other Blogs....I had called him Unlce Phisha, or Phishy.....which means something completely different.....
Yesterday he brought Chestnuts from his tree for us to eat...He told us to boiling them and scrape them out....That is how the Hungarians collect the met from the chestnut, which they turn into various dishes....one being a puree of chestnut...where the contests is boiling, water and cream and sugar and flavoring added....it turns into sort of a pudding which is served with whipped cream and a cherry on top.
But i put a pile of the chestnuts atop the stove between the two rooms....with the fire burning......I placed a metal cover on top of the chestnuts...and they both steams and roasted....and were delicious..CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE ISNT...JUST A SONG....BY NAT KING COLE..

LIKE A REAL FOOL , brought the wrong bottle of eye medicine to HUNGARY.....and didn't have a prescription for an emergency..I tried one small drug store where i bought a few packages of NEXIUMS without a prescription....the second time the store did give me a hard time...but I showed her the HUNGARIAN printing of it...saying that another store...took my prescription...and she "bought that logic" But when i should her the bottle of XALATAN (eye drops for glaucoma) and althought it "sounds" Hungarian.......she said i need a pesrcription......
To make things worse, somewhere during the day, I lost the little of XALANTAN I had left.....I really was getting nervous to think I wouldn't have any drops left for the remainder of the trips...The worse that could happen, is to go to a hospital emergency room, find an EYE DR, or go BLIND.....
TESCO, a large AUSTRALIAN CHAIN store...which is sort of like a HUGE WALMART, with the exception that they have a giant and fabulous food department.....is on the outskirts of town....I figured there is no harm in trying them, but they probably would have a harder time bending the rules.....since everything is so computer run. To my surprise....they gave it to my just by asking.. No prescription, not even an empty bottle..and the price...a but under 25.00 Which is what I pay in the USA, with my prescription plan.....with my over 750dollar a month payment to BLUE CROSS>..those thieving bastards...Just think...without insurance..its the same price here...and the NEXIUM was also about under 25,00 in NJ, without insurance the same pills cost 140 dollars.. THERE IS SOMETHING VERY VERY WRONG WITH THIS....THE DRUG STORE HERE...STILL MAKES A PROFIT ON 25.00.. AND WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY 140!!! I THINK I WILL WRITE TO THE WHITE HOUSE ABOUT THIS.....BUT OBAMA CANT NOT MAKE THEM CHANGE THEIR PRICES.....IF HE SUGGESTS IT....HE WILL BE CALLED MORE OF A SOCIALIST AND COMMUNIST AND ALL THE OTHER NAMES HE IS CALLED, ONLY BECAUSE HE IS TRYING TO MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR POORER PEOPLE. AND EVEN PEOLE LIKE ME UPPER MIDDLE CLASS, OR AM I LOW, HIGH CLASS??? CANNOT AFFORD ALL THE MEDICINES I NEED....WITHOUT IT HORRIBLY EFFECTLY THE WALLET. BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICINES CAN BE 50 A MONTH, 140 FOR NEXIUM, CHLORESTEROL MEDS CAN BE 75 A MONTH, ETCETC AND STILL HAVE TO PAY INSURANCE.... AND BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD WILL NOT LET ME HAVE NEXIUM...THE ONLY ONE THAT WORKS ON ME....THE REST INCLUDING OVER THE COUNTER PRILOSEC.....WHICH IS THE SAME COMPANY....AND SIMILAR...DOENST WORK!!!!

THE MORNING WAS VERY BRIGHT..THE SUN, WARM THE AIR,AFTER A VERY COLD NIGHT.....IT WAS A THREE BLANKET NIGHT.....BECAUSE BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP, I WAS ASKED BY BENNO to close the damper on the store, which smothers the fire....a serious safety precaution.
We were unable to rent a car last night........both Rental Places were already closed, and are not open on SATURDAYS.....YES, these morons close on the days, one would think they would do the most business. Many stores in this part of the country are closed on SAT and Sundays...and even though I called them morons, they probably have more time to enjoy their lives....so really, who is the moron...maybe it is me and the rest of the Americans who are married and glued to their business, and never get the time to smell the roses, pick sour cherries,pears and apples, grow grapes and make wine, have gorgeous flowers and veggies growing in the gardens.....and have time to even bake their own breads and pastries.

Our option today, was to risk driving around the countryside, and go to Croatia or Slovenia.....in BENNOS 14 year old RUSSIAN LADA, which makes enough noise to wake me up each morning, as he enters the property....He stays at another one of the houses he and his brothers bought on this mountain, will hills and hollows, like the Famous hillbillies of APPALACHIA. The road from the bottom of the mountain was paved maybe 50 years ago, but little of the paving materials are left.....the the entire road up the mountain and its many side roads, are filled with potholes large enough for a horse to drown in...the ride up and down to BENNOS casa, is very bumpy to say the least...and anyone with back trouble or hemmoroids would be in mortal agony should they attempt the trip.
We decided that we would go to CROATIA...and go in the LADA, better than just sitting around and doing nothing all day. We rode down the mountain, filled up with gasoline, which is double the price at home....or more......got out the map, drew our plan of attack, when we realized to problems. We didn't have any Croatian money and they are not in the European UNION, (no Euros), and Benno didn't have his passaport....and finally, if we broke down, we couldn't call TOMMY to come and get us because he doenst have any passport at all!!! Poor Tommy really never left his mountain and hills and hollows, except once to visit Budapest.....and he hurried back never to return.!!! It would be the same as a Kentucky Hillbillie visiting NEW YORK CITY>>>>OY!
Next plan of attack.....we studied the map of Slovenia and AUSTRIA......I opted for Slovina...we had very little Euros between the two of us...maybe enough to eat....and BENNO did have a card....but, would anyone in a little village in SLOVENIA (not the same country as SLOVKIA) take a credit card....or American Dollars, or Hungarian money???? Again, we could stop worrying and just go, or stay on the mountain, or in down town, NAGYKANITCA (ten miles from the mountain..and the little VILLAGE of HOMOK=kamaron....(or as i joked with hill:HOMOVILLE< HOMOLAND....)
We started driving towards slovenia...all the little villages look exactly the same...it looks like if the little town of ANATEKVA, from Fiddler on the ROOF was transplanted into NJ......and placed on ROUTES 202 that go thru MAHWAH and OAKLAND, and way up NY state in Sullivan COUNTY on RTS 17...Hungary looks very much like NJ...the hills, the flat lands, the trees.......except the MOUNTAIN on which BENNO has his summer home.........those hills and hollows break all the exceptions...

We drove for quite a while before we went over the border into SLOVENIA.....the border still had the custom buildings, the booths where guards and examiners used to stand and show their strength and authority...but now, well faded, with paint peeling, and everything in disrepair....and abandoned .
Soon the many villages started again, but the architecture changed somewhat..The buildings, seemed more modern, cleaner, brighter, and better kept. THe iron,wooden or cement fences that surround every Hungarian home, originally ordered by edict of Emperor Franz Joseph, and eventually became a cultural and security issue....were not longer seen, on this side of the border..Green grass was seen growing between properties, and looked more like homes were are used to in the STATES. There is more money in this country....and it shows.... We eventually ended up in a town....The difference between a town and a village in these parts...is simple....all the houses in a VILLAGE are on one ROAD>.the main highway.....a town has streets and stores...and some larger businesses on streets that run not only to the side but perpendicular.....YES we found a town, with magnificent bakery....with foods that I have never seen before.....some kind of multi layer flaky pastry interspersed with chunks of meat. quich looking things with all kinds ot "stuff"sticking out of it" various meats and sausages in pies,rolls, and pastry, strange pizza....and things...that look delicious but i had not idea of what they were....we shared a flaky pastry with meats between the layers...its was very nice, greasy and fattening..
We drove all over town...to try to find a real restaurant to eat in...We found a few bars that served no food, an icecream and cake cafe...but no food , and a pizza place, that only served pizza....no real authentic Slovenian FOOD(what ever that might have been) We guess everyone there just ate and home, went out for pizza or dessert or to get drunk. when we crossed over the border, we noticed very very steep but manicured hills, all with grape vines....vineyards, mile after miles...but so steep, i wondered how people were able to stand up and pick the grapes>>>>or did they lay on they back on some kind of dolly and roll slowly down the hill as they picked their crop?? It seems that everyone...in the area of the world grows grapes and fruit, and makes their own wine, Palinka and other drinks to keep them smashed all winter,m when they are snowed in, and have no where to go, or any where to get there. I didn't get the chance to see if they have AA meetings at any or all of the multitudinous Churches that we passed from HUngary into SLovenia...and by the way....almost all of these Churches were painted some shade of YELLOW.......yellow cement churches...with GREEN VERTI GRIS Steeples......
Since we couldn't find another restaurant to eat in, we looked at the map to find an alternate way back to HUNGARY, so we would see different scenery....We decided to go back thru the mountains...and pray....we didn't break down...
aS SOONS AS WE CROSSED BACK OVER INTO HUNGARY, we found a CZARDA, a hotel inn.(the dance the CZARDASH...comes from the name of this type of establishment...and the folk dances that were done at them way over 100 years ago) The menu looked good, the price was cheap and the waitress, and tall woman, with long hair that was too black, and you could see, that she hadn't smiled any time this Century...a really nasty bitch...We sat down, she threw menus on the tables and asked if we wanted a drink first....I ordered cream of garlic soup, Benno Ordered the special spicefishy soup......which was too spicy and too fishy and smelly....My garlic soup was sort of ok......I had a pork strew with a side order of CORN MEAL MUSH<(Romania MAMLIGA) which is also Hungarian.....they were ok.......the best part of the meal was the COKE, that came in a real glass bottle, made with real sugar and not corn syrup..it tasted like the COKE I new in my youth....
We left a bit disappointed...although Benno had a salad with chicken on it....and youghurt dressing that he did like..so the meal wasn't a disaster..we went on and stopped in another village, that did have one side street...with a CAFE....where were were able to get a great cappuccino...while viewing photos of American INDIANS.....all over the wall.....and leather furniture and an American Western Saddle.
On the way back , we came upon a sheep herder, in his tradition Hungarian Sheep Herders Costume....with a red hat...and blue tights, and gold bottons and cape....and his trusty Hungarian sheep dog at his side...His sheep were all over the road, and extended into a field 300 or more feet in from the road...We had to slow down quickly, so we would have turned any of his animals into lamp chops and roasts..His almost perfect picture of the past.....was complemented by his thick version of a SALVIDOR DALI MUSHTACE...
Another five minutes passed when we had to quickly slow down for what we think was a GYPSY WEDDING PROCESSION.....There were open trucks filled with people, and the truck was decorated with trees and flowers .......we followed the last truck for a while that was going two miles an hours...when BENNO started getting annoyed we passed them quickly......the front truck had a GYPSY band playing music.....and down the road a bit, in front of a house, there were people standing...looking at the approaching profession.....and in front of the house were a pair of dummies or effigies, dressed as a bride and groom. A very colorful experiences, but it happened to quickly for me to photograph it...and my piece of shit digital camera.....takes to long to open and take pics.....it is designed this way to save the battery life...but one misses a lot of pics...and pushing the button to take the pix..is not instantaneous...and you cannot shoot immediately again....
We eventually arrived back on the mountain....Pista Bottchi arrived again with a typical Hungarian DISH called "letcho" a stew of yellow and red peppers, tomatoes,..he added to it a few potatoes......it was perfect.....In another container he brought apple cake made by his wife...of over 50 years...and another dessert of what looked like pirogis, filled with peach jelly, and the entire dish was smothered in some type of sweeten bread crumbs, and of course another bottle of his new white wine which he insisted that i drink ....he toasted me....as a BARAT (friend)...and grabbed my glass of COKE....and wouldn't let me have it back until I drank some white wine....The Hospitality of this man, and all the people on this mountain is just to much to grasp emotionally....Their kindness and their....their sharing., and eagerness to help their neighbor..is something that the rest of the world should learn about. They want nothing more in return than their neighbors friendship.........Its the way life on planet earth should be.

Hungarian Hillbillies Part three

2010-10-10T10:41:00.000-07:00

We now have the cable Tv working again.....there are 800 channels...from all over the world....everything from BIBLE Television, to triple X porn. 600 of the channels are Pay TV, which includes all movies....of any value, porn, good sports..and anything of value...This leaves me 200 channels of World News....Including Al Gercieris(spelled wrong) and AL queda TV..... and a lot of locals stations from Spain and down to Italy......which we can call peasant Tv... The local fashions, which remind me of taking a trip thru the Sears Catalogue from 1950's, programs about farm animals, the pumpkin crop, local wine making, fence building, protection from vampires...(and you DO USE GARLIC...and other very interesting programs, including creative ways to watch paint dry. But it is better of a choice, than just watching the blue screen of the TV with no picture....We had no programing......for a very simple reason, the batteries in the "clickers" were dead.
Somewhere around 1:30 Benno and I started the trek downtown, with his newly fix car that broke down on the way to Budapest. We were somewhere in the middle of nowhere...when the car broke down again. Afer a number of "Oh shits" and "I am tired of these fucking cars" and " I am gong back to Amsterdam next week." we got out and examined the motor. We found nothing...but logic had it..that the motor was not over heating, the battery and starter worked. no gas was leaking from under the card....thatl.....it must be the fuel pump or the fuel filter.
Benno called Tommy on the phone and he and Frank(Ferri) were there in minutes and found..in seconds the reason for the breakdown.....Some belt was broken, without which the electric system.

We all piled into the second car...which is also BENNOS, which he drove here from Spain..It is also on its last legs....but still running...After I threw out a pile of emplty beer cans from the front seat.....and ignored an ashtray filled to the top with cigarette butts....and more butts on the floor, we headed downtown Naykanitza for car parts and other thngs needed to complete the construction of BENNOS Brothers HOUSE. We first went to the OBI, there version of HOME DEPOT...and almost as larges as the ones in the STATES.....From there, we went to the car parts store....for the second time in three days....One item blew me away.....a complete exhaust system for BENNOS RED "LADA" a Russian inexpensive auto.....the cost for this system...including the pipes and muffler was around 20.00 TWENTY DOLLARS...Amazing.....in the STATES with installation it would have been 500...... From there we went to a Pub and had drinks....then Benno and I went into town, and the "BOYS" went on to the house to fix the car.
Our first destination was to go to a bank to exchange DOLLARS for Hungarian Forints...The banks charges all kinds of fees, asked for our address and wanted to see my passport......and got a hell of a lot less than i did in VERESHEGUHAZ dealing with Franks Father.......We then went to a restuarant...that had a high rating in a tourist book.......but was brought up by BENNO FIRST....A place called ROBNSONS....not a very Hungarian name, but the food was strictly HUNGARIAN....the MENU we were given was in HUNGARIAN....and was so many pages long, that if it was in ENGLISH, I would have had a hard time making a decision, but being in HUNGARIAN....it was so much more difficult.....even though I could read...half of them......i was more than curious what the other offers were.....We then got an additional menu in both ENGLISH and GERMAN.......and would you believe, it made more sense to me in HUNGARIAN......some of the terms were hysterical....they translations were horrible and incorrect.. There was one dish...with describe a stew of fruits of the sea and other sea "gadgets""' well, rocks, stones, sand, sea shells, sea weed, sunken ships,...are all sea gadgets..what in hell did they mean?
Other things like mushrooms pulled with rice.,....other phrases like "potatoes baking in the oven" There were a lot of things that were pulled. I ordered a platter...that was supposed to have steamed cabbage,,,and spareribs......I got very thick bacon and saurkraut.....Unfortunately I forgot to steal a menu, because there were so many funny mistakes.....if i go down town again, I will offer to buy a menu....or steal one with permission..
The soup was wonderful.....cream of garlic soup with cheese melted on top....the other platter was good...but nothing to write home about....a chicken cutlet(sauteed) and some kind of pork or beef cutlet, cucumber salad, roasted potaotes.......all good but not special.....Benno had a friend trout..supported by boiled potaotes....the fish in swimming position...and staring at BENNO... The meal was complete with a large apple PALACHINTA with almond sauce on top and whipped creme...well, it was good, but mine.....last night were much better. and teh ALMOSN sauce was yellow...and didn't taste like almond sauce....but it was good. But I am a very fussy person, when i go out to eat, I like food to be different and better than I can cook it....

After dinner we were going to an INTERNET CAFE, and then for more cake and cappuccino...when BENNO looked at his wtch and exclaimed "oh shit....Its almost 6 and we have to go to PishyBacchi's to get lumber for tomorrow and we are late....."So we raced down the the BUS station to find a bus to take us back to HOHOMKARCOM or what ever the name of this little Village is......we found the BUS station, found which bus to take, and they were talking loudly when he approached a rotary or a cirlce in the roastarted walking around......looking to spend 20 min...until the bus arrived...when the phone rang..It was...Frank and TOMMY....they would pick us up..instead of the bus....GREAT.....
In less than two minutes, there they were!!! In the broken down red car that we had left on the HIGHWAY 2 hours before......It is as they appeared in a flash of light....there was no way they could have driven....from the Village in that time....I never found out how there were able to get back to the car....bring back the FORD from SPAIN to their Village, and return to get us....and fix the car..all in the time that we had dinner...I said to BENNO, that was impossible.....he laughed.......and didn't ask how they did it.... Soon we were on our way back to the VILLAGE...BENNO was now driving....We approached a ROTARY or Circle in the ROAD and BENNO went around this circle three times.....and then..chose one of the roads.......We then dropped off the pair of miracle workers at the home of ATTILA....a young but heavily blacked bearded men, who also works on some of the property here.......and BENNO and I were off to PishyYBACCIS HOUSE.....(by the way....Bacchi means UNCLE....or a title that old men give themselves to younger people)

Pisshybacchi invited us in for a drink..."just one "pitzie"(tiny) drink.....but first before climbing the stairs to his home, he took us into what looked like a garage, half buried in the hill. It was not a garage....but a wine making house, and a wine cellar......He was one of the men who appeared a few days ago...to pick all of BENNOS grapes that were all over the property....and he showed us...the barrels they were now in....and fermenting...
We went upstairs, followed by a lovely sweet large dog named WHISKEY...that I had met a few times already.....He visits all the friendly people in the area, who love him and feed him.....and probably has a home...I was very happy to see himbecause I brought him a DOGGY BAG from ROBINSONS....his tail was wagging at warp speed as i fed him....(I will post photos when I can get onto the internet...) we then went upstairs and PishyBacci brought out a bottle of what he called "uibokor" or NEW WINE....It was white, went down smoothly, and had a good taste..It wasn't strong at all, stronger than mere grape juice,but not like regular wine..yet after a few glasses....i started feeling it.........then he insisted we have sausages and bread...and fresh paprikas..and more wine....and he started telling stories...., some of which Benno was able to translate.... He was a man in his 80's kind, with a twinkle in his eyes...and enjoyed the company...and I enjoyed the warm hospitality that is so, associated with Hungarians,,,especially the poorer ones. Benno got a call, now, inviting us down to the bar...to Meet TOMMY and Frank for a drink......Remember the BAR and General store ar both owned by the same guy in the village..and the two buildings ARE the village....and its where the bus stop from town. I was somewhat reluctant to go in,...this is a hillbilly VILLAGE, like the ones in KENTUCKY HILLS, where the people all make their wine and whiskey illegally at home...and are rough tough souls...BENNO said I have never seen anything like this, and it might be the worst bar on this planet...and i shouldn miss this .....I went in......TOMMY,FERRI, JOSIE_BACCHI(another worker that I met the day before) TOMMYS mother and father.....who were at dinner the night before....were all there...with one huge red bulbous nosed drunk.....and a skinny pocked marked GYPSEY....whose wife soon came in, yelled at him, he staggered over to her...and she grabbed his keys and left him there...in a fog,laughing..and there was one of blond guy there in overalls...a very
pleasant looking guy...No one there was intimidating...nor were there than many people there.
I had a beer and to my surprise the beer SOPRONI (beer from the town of SOPRON(pronouced SHOPRON) was very very mild.....and tasted less like beer than anything i have ever had.....and really nice.....The MOTHER, of Tommy and stood up and announced in HUNAGRAIN that MAURY.......Bennos friend is the KING of PALCINTA...referring to the dessert of the night before...and they toasted me and my cooking ability......I had another beer...Then TOmmys father....got up and put money into a KAREOKE Machine and started singing...for a while...The place was filled with laughter....and smoke....and more smoke...From there we went to TOMMYS HOUSE for more beer, more UIBORKOR brought in by Frank who made it.....himself......and was just happy as a little boy.....when i told him i really liked it a lot.....We drank wine and beer..then TOMMYS wife brought out open sandwiches of cheese and headcheese.....and we ate again.....and drank and laughed...and the smoke here too filled the room.....we stayed at TOMMYS The longest.....and had the most fun.....the laughing was great....I understood most of what was going on.........and surprisingly i didn't get drunk..not even really high....and so far no hangover....
The warmth of the evening.....in hospitality is something i am trying to convey. It was all real. The laughing.....and the giving of what they have to strangers.....this is an experience you cannot get as a tourist....You cannot buy this in a fancy hotel, or at fancy restaurants....its something that actually to ove 12 yearls to develop BENNO is a true friend.. an honest wonderful person......his character was immediate felt by the HUNGARIANS here...He treats them with fairness and kindness..which they know is real...and any friend of BENNOS becomes their friends.......
They know that I am an American and BENNO is Dutch....BUt when I told Frank that I am HUNGARIAN....he jumped up...and I got 2 kisses..one on each side of my neck..and wet ones.. I wonder if this means wer are engaged (LOl)
I have learned a few words this week that I have committed to my Hungarian Memory banks......"barat" friend is one of it... ALl of them couldn't remember my name, so many starting calling me BARAT..which is a great honor......

Last night the computer was dead, although no services were held, i went to sleep, completely confused, why, why working perfectly for the first ten days of the vacation, it would restart after charging from the night before. The nite light at the pug in point went on, but the main switch which lights up wouldn't go on....and nothing at all worked. it seemed completely dead. No one touched it, dropped it...and even if it was attacked by the worst virus , the thing should have turned on at least and then, malfunctioned.
This morning i tried again,,,open the battery case and closed it a few times, pushed on all the wires again.....and this time ...well it was resurrected......and went on...and then a screen came up and said to click here if you want to FORCE CLOSING open programs....which I did and , well...here I am again typing, on this mysterious behaving computer....not connected to the internet because.....there is no WI FI, no phone line,.....and no paved road up this mountain for over a mile.

I was very anxious last night to sit down and write for several reasons...One, the satellite dish television doesn't work, and all the movies Benno has on tape are in FRENCH...and even if they were in ENGLISH...I dont think I wouldn't want to watch them anyway...So I could have entertained my self wile writing and my words were popping out of my brain and fingers after a very heart warming evening with Benno and the locals.....and a text message that he got from his brother in SPAIN, which read" ARE YOU OK....just heard about the Catastrophe in HUNGARY.....?Benno texted back...."what catastrophe?>> and the return message was vague.
I called my strore and asked RICH to check on the COMPUTER....it too was vague and said that 7 villages....were burried by some kind of chemical contaminated mud slide caused by some huge industry''and they mentioned the TOWN of SOPRON..where a relative owns a fancy hotel and restaurant....some places were over 2 feet buried in this contamination....people were killed....cars overturned.....and I was supposed to have gone and visited them!!!
Benno doesn't even have a radio that works......to find out what happened..but then again...even if it did I DONT UNDERSTAND ENOUGH HUNGARIAN TO LISTEN TO A FAST SPEAKING NEWS COMMENTATOR....NOT EVEN A SLOW SPEAKING ONE.
SO, NOW ITS 11 IN THE MORNING,,BENNO IS OUT WITH THE WORKERS WHO AREREBUILIND HIS PROPERTY...I STILL DO NOT KNOW...WHAT HAPPENED....but i think it was in another party of the COUNTRY......

So I sit here on top of a mountain, on an unpaved road, without tv,radio,internet and all the time in my cell phone was used up....which is impossible because.....according to FRANK, it is only 15 cents a minute.....and i just put in 25dollars.....and spoke no more than 20 min on the phone.... Either Frank was wrong, or they cheated me...put in a few dollars and pocketed the rest...So when BENNO returns, and we go down the mountain..we can find out, if the rest of the world is still there, and we haven't been invaded by Aliens, attacked by terrorists....or all just dreaming

Last night Benno invited a local family to dinner. Thomas, the DADDY is his main helper in the area....His wife, a very long haired and attractive Gypsy.....and his three children, who were between and and 12...were very cute and well behaved....and Grandma and Grandpa... The locals here all have something in common...they are poor, and s\smoke and drink heavily, and have a good sense of humor and love to be silly and laugh....something that your author inherited from being part of Hungarian bloodline...I really think it is genetic....From stories that I heard about my grandfather, remembering COUSIN GEORGE who was always drinking and laughing hysterically, my self, my nephew CARY ....we all seem to have a touch of the ridiculous, love laughing, cooking, all kinds of creativity.....and then there is the serious side, which comes out in our writing, political stance, and sense of right and wrong..Of course the word LIBERAL can be ascribed to us,we might have been liberal if we had been Italian or Peruvian as well, who knows.

Earlier in the day Benno was defrosting the chicken that he was gong to cook...But this chicken seemed to have four legs instead of two.....When I questioned him it turned out it wasn't a chicken at all, but it was a rabbit.......actually two rabbits that Thomas, father had given to him......they raise rabbits..which they sell and it makes up part of their meager income. Well, I like animals...and cute furry little rabbits is no inlcuded in my normal diet, nor would I order rabbit in a restaurant.. I pet rabbits not eat them...but when in ROME one must do what the ROMANS, do (or if you are in Alaska, when in NOME....do what the Nomans do..and that includes having sex with Eskimos...)the last joke was contributed by JOhn...who is now in cha
rge of the store while I am gone....as he told an ex employee who now lives in NOME

Sorry for going off on tangents, but that is so typically me...........

Back to the rabbits......Benno sauteed them first...and the put them into larger pots, adding water, tomatoes,green pepper,paprika (of course PAPRIKE this is HUNGARY home of PAPRIKA) salt,pepper, rosemary and thyme, red wine. onion, carrot,......and it cooked for two hours.....oh, and some huge mushrooms......cant leave them out...and it smelled wonderful......but to my dismay, it still was RABBIT..and instead of the bunny eating the carrot...they were cooking together side by side.......................................

While Benno was dong his thing with the BUNNYs.....i was peeling apples and winter pears that we pulled off the trees earlier...I then sauteed them in Current Juice, sugar ,lemon juice,cinnamon,grated lemon rind and orange rind..until they were soft, but not mushy...and put them too cool

Benno made a great salad with greens, tomatoes, black and green Spanish olives,and fresh blue cheese....and a pot of rice large enough to feed everyone in the country....I sauteed a n onion till it was almost black to put on top of the rice..to give it some flavor.....

But the best was yet to come...I made Palacintas..the traditional Hungarian pancake...or crepe or blintz.... Instead of coming to Hungary to eat them, i made them...and to the surprise of the locals.....they were fabulous.....
I took farmer cheese that is a cross between cream cheese, ricotta.......and mixed in sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and sour Hungarian Cherries called MEGGY....if i had some almond flavoring i would have added that too... The topping, was half a jar of these sour cherries and its juice..cooked up with lemon juice, orange juice, and both of their grated rinds..then thickened with a teaspoon of flour.....
So i made the thin crepes, fillld them with the cherry cheese mixture, and put the thicked cherry sauce on top. served with the Pear Apple compote with real whipped cream....the desserts were masterpieces...that you would expect in a Gourmet establishment, the RABBIT as well.....and the dinner was a FOUR STAR meal, in a kitchen that doenst have a fridge...(its in the wine cellar)

The Grandad, that gave Benno the Rabbit, brought in a bottle of his new Wine...in a soda bottle. It was a month old....and tasted like carbonated grape juice, but it had a little kick to it......It was hardly wine....yet not a a soft drink.....but to my surprise...they added COKE to it.....I didn't get it...it added nothing to the taste, but took away the nice grape taste??? Well when in ROME>........

Other wine was brought out...white wine, red wine, and some local beer....and a bottle of COMPONA....a drink that was creamy chocolate cherry......hmmmm i had a few shot glasses of it, a little of the new red wine ,and it made me relaxed.

I forgot to mention that the boy MARCO, about 12...is already a veggie-tarian....He wouldn't eat the rabbit.....and didn't want the mushrooms in the stew, but i think he ate the rice and sauce and salad....and he didn't want to eat the PALACINTAS with the cheese and cherries...just plain pancakes and JAM.... Being poor in one way helps being a vegetarian...because here...meat is so much more expensive than veggies....but i pray he remains healthy.....In Budapest...the Socialized medicine seems to work, but in the backwaters...in the mountains, far away from the large city...it doenst. Grandpa needs a new hip..he limps and is in pain.....and they wont help him.

Hungarian Hillbillies....a five part Blog series

2010-10-10T10:38:00.000-07:00

The Adventure starts again..NO, this is not another script for a BATMAN MOVIE.....but the adventure of MAURY in Europe.....Co staring BENNO BREUKERS, formerly of down town Amsterdam......with whom i have been doing business for over a decade...Starting on that infamous day 9/11, when business all over the world started its decline......especially antique dealer......we only had sent one container...WHY....business declined, the auctions, died, lack of money, and styles of what people changed. They no longer want the Dutch and Eastern European Furniture......mosty stripped pine, or ARMOIES , carved furniture....and so much of what used to sell......
Benno closed his store, before i closed my Clifton store....and the Paterson Warehouse. He had started selling oak used furniture to the rich on the SPANISH Riviera in MARBELLA Spain...with his brothers...but the slimy Moroccan and Spanish dealers screwed him every chance they got....and he finally gave up....He is a very honest man, and couldn't play the games...they played in the true MID EASTERN STYLE.......Benno went back to Amsterdam....and then four months ago bought some property, in HUNGARY. He has been here with a few workers rebuilding the houses....which are incredible bargains, and very quaint.....to put it mildly...And even though their primitive nature....i love it...and will think to buy a few also......
I am in a town called HOMOKONNICO...OR SOMETING LIKE THAT...... and even thought the name of the town starts with a homo......there is no GAY BAR......Not even a gas station.....there is a general store and a bar...each only open 2 hours a day....and 6 houses....which make up the downtown...The rest is an "area" not a town.as soon as you make a turn at the BAR.....and.....store (both owned by the same guy....the road no longer exists...We drove over roads, as primitive as covered wagons....that went from NYC to California....the only difference is the danger....no danger from INDIANS.....but drunk Hungarians....who drive on this mega pothole filled "path" that is dirt...with a little grass growing down the middle of it, like a Mohawk green haircut......Driving here might be safer at night...because of all the turns and twists and potholes...so if another car is coming around the bend...you will be notified in advance by the headlights..as long as they remembered to turn them on..which is not necessarily the case. Benno said they are often really wiped out on wine, whiskey and home made PALINKA....a clear,vodka looking drink...that is like the American ALCOHOL that the hillbillies in Kentucky and Tennessee make......one or two drinks and you are hallucinating.....the difference, is that PALINKA.....has a good taste'
This is truly an adventure....we are two miles off the nearest paved road....and it would be some type of maze, if i had to get out of here myself without a Sherpa guide, or a Saint Bernard...with a Barrel of Palinka under his chin....Not only is the road unpaved, and filled with craters from asteroids from distant Star Systems.....but the road is narrow... HOW NARROW..I have no idea what would happen in some parts if two cars arrived at the same time. The road is about. as wide as a small car, assuming that at least one of the drivers was sober, they would back up. and try to find an area, so the other car cold pass...if should be a truck..... they would have to wait until the local government widens the road.....Or both drivers would get out of the car....either have a fist fight...or just pull out a bottle of Palinka and start toasting each other.....

This house, as most of the other houses in this area....the hills and mountains of HUNGARY.....about 18 miles from the AUstrian, Croatian, and Slovenian borders..are all summer homes built buy middle to upper class COMMUNISTS after ww2.. The workers of certain status...were given a hectacre of land(not sure what size that is) and many of them built these little houses them selves......primitive, with outhouses...no heating systems,shy of a potbelly stove...that really looks like a robot ...without a head..made of embossed iron..with a little door...a little drawer to let in air and catch ashes...and up on 4 simple iron legs....it is placed in a hole in the wall that separates two of the three rooms. and heats the place up well......Benno didn't like the outhouse that much, so he had his workers install a shower in the kitchen....and a toilet bowl....Yes in the kitchen, because that is where the plumbing is.... and their seemed to be more room their than in the living room or bedroom...If you are eating dinner...the only problem is that if one has to go to the bathroom....everyone would have to get up and go into the living room and close the door....to prevent instantaneous nausea......If they didn't leave the kitchen and someone decided to sit one the throne, the ensuing scene..would be something from a MEL BROOKS MOVIE...people munching a large turkey leg, others drinking wine out of a long stemmed glass,, other eating with the fork...or munching on a piece of bread....while the farts flew...and the fumes overcame the company......could be a very hysterical scenario......you would find the people fainting....getting sick, swooning.......and looking horrified....or the opposite........they continue to eat as if nothing unusual was going on.....Thei conversation might be very intellectual.....pausing once or twice..when a loud burst.....came forth from the bowl area...and one of the refined women would say....I am sorry I didn't hear that.......about the sound of the faRT...would you repeat please.....

I have lost track of time....I havent been in HUngary since Susan and Franks BABY my GOD DAIGHTER...was a month or two old.....and the last timeI was in Amsterdam with Benno was several yeas before that.....but....although I put on weight, and Bennos hair is much thinner and now all silver grey.....our relationship, our timing, our sense of humor hadn't missed a beat.. We were laughing with the same fervor as ever...and on the very same wavelength.
I have been complaining about my memory for a few years now.....can't remember where i put that pen down....or the cup of coffee...or an important paper......minutes after having them...but when we started talking....my memory suddenly reappeared....as if i was a cell phone, with almost no more charge.....and then out of know where....my batteries were charges and everything became clear.. I remember people, places...and even pieces of furniture..in detail from ten years ago....I remembered someone that I saw in Brussels on a Street corner.....briefly...at a red light.....that I would have loved to meet......I remembered things we ate in various cities... and laughs that we had a decade ago. This laughter....and...friendship recharged my depleted batteries......as we walked about reinventing the importing business...refine what we buy.....now to the taste of the next generation.....the children of the generation past...

íi am now in an íinternet ÍCAFE..in the middle of nowhere...

vac up?(Pronounced Vatz ) walking in a 15thc town,The DANUBE

2010-10-03T12:47:00.000-07:00

Sunday in HUngary.....went to the ancient town of VAC........had increidble PASTRIES THAT LOOKED LIKE WORKS OF ART.....HATE THE MOST CHOCOLATY CHOCOLATEICE CREAM IN THE WORLD...AND TOOK A WALK DOWN THE THE DANUBE RIVE TO WATCH THE SUN SET, THE DICKS FLOCK, AND THE FERRIES....CROSS WITH PASSENGERS AND CARS.....WILL POST PHOTOS LATER.....saw a great movie from ENGLAND...Sherlock Holmes....not the new one with ROBERT DOWNEY JR...but an all ENglish cast...no violence..cloak and dagger and cleverness..rather than all the HOLLYWOOD glamour..with no thought into it.
Never heard of any of the actors...and its part of three already made serials...for TV.....
From here on in we know..that Sherlock Holmes...was better knowsn as MISS HOlmes...as the waiter asked him if DR WATSON WS HIS DATE, and he would put out candles to make it more romantic.. His sexual proclivities had no part in the movie at all. although almost in the openeing scene, he is beating a corpse in the morgue...under the guidance of a lady.....who worked their......with his riding crop. There was some kindof quick explanation...but it was so wierd, i paid no attention to the words......it happened to fast.
This movie however...was a SHERLOCK HOLMES mystery, but took place last year.....they bring the characters up to 2009..and all the modern gadgets like cell phones, GPS and other things entered the plot...but his thinking ability is what solves the crimes...
It was about the first two days that Watson and HOlmes hook up.....so we do not yet know if they were an item...but they took to each other quite well...even though their personalities are very....ferbisseneh , bitter and wierd.....(that word is Yiddish for bitter)
AFter seeing this movie.I am sure the wroters of the MENTALIST got their ideas from HOl

MES way of thinking, and deductions...

Last night i saw two other movies......one is called KICK ASS...about a nerd who wants to become a super hero.....and almost gets killed immediatley.....then gets involved with something he couldnt handle...and gets saved by an 11 year old girl who wears a purple wig...and a silly costume..and she is a hit man(woman)(KID) he knows karated, how to shoot, throw knives, and ropes and all types of other things...and tricks....Her fater dresses like BAT MAN..and is an ex cop who was sent to jail by a drug dealer freind of the chief of POLICE...who is dirty....he comes outof jail and seeks revenge for his wifes suicide while incarcerated....He teaches his little girl to become a very clever vicious killer...so sill and far fetched.....The Big MAFIA criminal....wants this super hero...the KID DEAD(he thinks he is intgerfering with his frug business.and is not)...THe final few minutes are awesome...He and the BAt man character get captured, after the MAFFICA son, posing as another superhero leads them to the NERD called KISS ASS.....wll everythine almost gets beaten and burned to death....but is saved by the 11 year old..who shuts the lights and kills all the bad guys with a infrared scope...kills 50 guys.......some with guns, some knives, japanese throwing stars, ropes...etc......Then she avows to revenge her fathers death.....(he burned in the fire) Kick ass escapes with the girl.....She takes on the mafic single handed on the top floor of their skyscrpaer in NYC....she kills the door men,....then takes on everyone on the penthouse floors...kills almost all of them. The bodygaurd has a bazooka.....well, he aims at the little girl, when at the last moment..KICK ASS flies in a jet powered suit over the top of the building and comes in blasting two built in machines guns to his jet powered seats......PROABBLY the most far fetches movie ever....that almost seems real.
The good parts were when he finally gets laid..in public, when the girl find s out he isnt gay....(he looked so gay in that suit...all skin tight, and and had a hood that went over his head...and he showed "everything"front and back.....
The little girl kills the big fat black bodygaurd, and after the mafia chieftan beats her up with a combination of karate kicks and punches...she jumps up and grabs the bazooka and blows him..thru the penthouse glass doors....in flames and he explode over the nyc skyline......
The Mafia chiefs son,,was a real flaming queen, in a red costume and red hair.......Kick ass and the Ex cop just about broke up the drug business and burnt down all of the guys businesses....inlcuind the lumber yard where they had a huge microwave to dry wood, and kill enemies..they show them microwaving on guy and his head exploded......gushing blood and flesh and goo all over the door...yummmmmmm
But at the very end.....the son...dressed in an ORANGE SUPER HERO UNIFORM.....he lets you know there will be a sequel to this movie....It was so very bad.....I LOVED IT!!!!
a movie is entertainment...The acting doenst have to win awards, nor does the plot..It was so bad it was great...funny...and ther ewere some parts that you had to figure out.....it really KICKED ASS

Anotoher terrible movie that i LIKED...was Bruce WILLIS in COP OUT.....another good guys bad guys, cops with a good buddy partner..who gets suspended for screwing up...but continues on the case and solves it.....Lots of violence...drugs, jokes, poor acting....but it was fun

THIS MORNING.... I went to the Saturday market in TOWN.....its amazing...the town was lined up and down with booths.....Half selling fresh fruits and veggies...some of the most healthy specimens...not like we see in the Supermarkets back home.....for example radishes...the size of lemons, and everything look so healthy.....one lady had large boxes of incredible mushrooms...the type you buy in a tiny plastic contianer at the A&P, and you have to apply for a mortgage to buy it.....
i understand the use of the money...as long as there are prices on things, i can buy them... i bought some home made strudels...cabbage, sour cherry, poppy seed and cabbage....i was almost salavating over them....until i tasted them....My brain chemistry tasted them prior to eating them.....and they were a great dissapointment...MAURY can outcook these peasants.....the APPLE strudel has no taste at all....I think they used plastic or used apples..... The cabbage strudle was the best.....it was so good, Frank and SUASAN didn't have to buy gas for their car.
Today i am going to a BEAT and WOlf Sanctuary........i bought honey...and will feed the bears....honey on a stick.......and hope to take photos.........
i have been resting a lot....well needed.....Frank and SUSAN have two GORGEOUS children.......and smart and full of personality.......and a hungarian dog.....a PULI...it looks like a RASTAfarian.......dog..with dreadlocks hanging all over it...almost to the ground.....and you cannt see its eyes......He lookies like a black mop....with 4 legs.....he is very friendly and lovable.....good with the kids ...his name is MOOKIE.....and he also gets along well with their cat MITZIE.....and luckily they both ignor...their two guinea pigs......Shadow and Louis Seifer....they are both adorable...and when they want food they hum and grunt and purr and really know how to commujnicate.....and when someone goes to the refrigerator...they get all excited and started singing...........so this place is a mini zoo..two young kids.....2 Rodents, a dog and a cat and one mad antique dealer......
I went into town a few times, but no sight seeing....just shopping......with Frank......Tomorrow are the elections,,,which are getting dirty.......the police or security...are in town.......One of the canidates got an email...a threat on his life....Frank was called in to trace the email.....to its source(he is a computer expert) and they caught the person..........today Frank had a meeting with the top Security of the COUNTRY at his school.....(I was not invited)........i yet to find out what happened.......

The Stuffed CABBAGES are in Bloom, The Bears will be fed...&other Hungarian News

2010-10-02T04:20:00.000-07:00

I am in the land of the elsusive stuffed cabbage of life...Hungary. Where the smallest restuarant, street vendor.....serves incredible gourmet food. Where "CAKE HOUSES" differ from Bakeries....in that what are in their lit cases, are jewels of what we wouuld think of as French PASTRIES....small morsels....of incredible edibles..cake with cream, fresh fruit, marsipan and a tremensous amount of creativity...Most cake houses also serve home made icecream, whose flavor makes HAGGENDAZ an inferior brand....
So far i did a very strange thing...I rested.....more rest in a few days, that I got in a year at home...I crashed....Once here I couldnt stay awake.....which means, this trip was long needed... No phones to answer....customers to argue or bargin with......I know my store is in good hands....with good people...who often do better with me away.....
Today, we are going to a BEAR and Wolf Sanctuary right here in this cute little town ov Vereshegyhaz, a suburb of Budapest...about the same distance as HOHOKUS is from NEW YORK CITY...Used bears and wolves from all over Europe are sent here....to spend the rest of their lives in peace and harmony....all different flavor bears....are here..and they seem to get along......how interesting.. MAybe we can learn something from these vicious animals> Later, I am going to greet them, with a large stick that i stick into a jar of honey....they will come to the fence and lick the honey off the stick.......and for those of you who dont know...i am scared shitless of bears...so this will be quite an experience.....The wolves only eat meat....but i forgot to bring a bag of REpublicans with me to throw over the fence.....sorry wolves, next time... I wonder if they will eat fillet of Pallin, leg of Limbaugh, and neck of BECK.
You know how we Americans always think we have the biggest and best of everything...? Well, i went to a store...in Bedapest outskirts...called AUCHAN...its sort of a FRENCH Walmart...but its so big.....Once you are in, you can see the other side of the store..if you have binoculars...It must be at least a quarter of a mile long....The food department...for example....as two long aisles....just for SALAMIS of Europe.......Can you imagine a few hundred feet of different salamis......the meat aisle is a few hundred feet long...with every part of every animal there.....incliding rabbit fillets, rabbit stew meat, rabbit legs, and a packet of sealed rabbit livers....every part of the pig was there.....ears, legs, tails, noses, heads, bones, stomach, livers,hearts....the only item that was vaccuum packes were pig assholes.....which i heard they bread and deep fry and call them some kind of pretzle....
They had a huge delidepartment........with every type of ham, bologna, roast beef, pig and other things, all kinds of PATES,sliced cheese....thing you dont ever see in America...and maybe we dont want to see them..some were probably 99 percent chloresterol....and made from brains, blood,internal organs....and left over Nuclear waster from Chernobel....I wanted to get close to the case, but there was a line not to be believed....and only two creepily slow workers behind the counter......I wantd to buy some of the pates,which we rarely see.......and cant afford....I think the food prices on most items is roughly half American prices....except soda...is about the same.>>>>.
The had a huge fish tank...but instead of LOBSTERES that we are used to seeing..this tank was filled with live fish....they were all CARP......but the tank had more fish in it than water..It was cruel and sad...The fish were actually touching each other....hardly any room to move around.....and it was filled from top to bottom....right to left....like sardines in a can..with a few drops of water...This is cruel......
Hungarians love jam and jelly......when I grew up we always had strawberry,apricot and Prune "lekvar" in the refrigerater..and Grandma would always drink coffee and have jam on rye bread....as she told me stories about her homeland....Hungary.....niether of us would have dreamed that someday....I wouuld be schlepping around HUngary....not as a tourist.......buying Jelly and jam at stores and flea markets.......Well this store...had a huge selection of JAms and Jellys from all over EUrope.....and at the Market in the Street today....ladies were selling their homemade concoctions.....
TOday, Saturday...is market day in the streets of VERESHEGYHAZ...a suburb 18 miles from Budapest.... The streets are lines with tables, tents,booths, or just blankets on the ground displaying their wares......Half of the market is Fresh fruits and veggies...and a very healthy selection....the other half is all kinds of clothing and accessories, table cloths and other fabric things...and the third half is everything else from used crap, to toys,kitchen wares and other useless bargains......it was fun to walk around....many of the Merchants were Gypsies...true died in the wool Gypsies...those who Hitler threw into the ovens with the JEWS...for the same crime....just being who they were..
Their reputation is somewhat steriotypically correct. They used to travel around in wagons, steal local children to keep their DNA mixed so their wouldnt have too much inbreeding...and they were experts at shop lifting......and stealing just about anyting..

I am gong to run away....New recipes.......

2010-09-21T20:40:00.000-07:00

I decided today that I am going to run away...dont worry, i shall return. I am oging to HUNAGRY to visit my freinds and god children. I must get away or I will loose it. The stress of business and everything else is getting to me..... I must practice up on all 123 Hungarians words I used to know..... and get ready to eat and eat and eat and eat and eat>>>>

Tonight a made a new creamed soup....with what ever was laying around the kitchen....here goes..into boiling water...two sticks of celery, one small rutabaga, two carrots, one small ripe acorn squash, two large onions, one clove of garlic,one large potatoe....i letter it simmer for a very long time until everything was mushy and the water was almost boiled out.. When cooled.....I put it thru the Cusinart FOOD PROCESSOR...then i added salt, black pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon.....and then simmered it for 5 min..and then added half and half...to the desired consistency...and then...heated...but dont let it boil. It was similary to the cream of Butternut Squash....but a little different...subtle and wonderful. Add chopped parsley or scallon on top before serving.
