Please email this to everyone you know-and have them pass it on

IF my SENSITIVIY seems to get more intense the older I get. I seem to see how the world should work, it seems so obvious to me... We are one planet! We shouldnt be separated by language, borderlines, relgions, and politics. But we are so...separated by those differences....and the greed of the large Corporations who only worry about their stockholders.

WAR is one of the main businesses of this Planet! And one of the most ecnomic drains of the peoples of the world.

The past month or so, has seen A tragic earthquake in Haiti, a few days go in JAPAN, and Yesterday one of the strongest earthquakes in history, devastated that country as well. We had Katrina in NEW ORLEANS< which almost destroyed that town, and our country , not only wasnt prepared, but our expresident, was more concerned with raising money for his Republican counter parts, than worrying about his flock. The man in charge of this disaster, was a disater himself...Mr BROWN, was a manager of HOrses...and was not capable of handling his position, that BUSH gave him as a political plum.

I never used to sit and watch the news, and actually cry. The sadness, is not only for the present situations, and loss of life, but I cry for ManKind itself, thinking we are really hopeless. The concepts of GREED,FIghting, Acquisition of Territory and Power...is found somehwere in the spiral helix of our DNA. Our belief systems of religios superstitions, miracles, and following nonsense writing down thousands of years ago by completely ignorant and supersitious people blows my mind. To think that there are poeple who actually think that two people NAmED ADAM and EVE really started this mess (and the religous people ignore the fact their belief would implicate their children of incest)......and people still think NOah built the aRK, and there was one of every species on earth...(the boat would have to have been twice the size of the BRONX ZOO) just for the animals, and another several acres of boat for the people who wouuld care for the animals..feed them, and shovel their kaka! and then, another thousand aces of BOAT to be filled with the proper feed for all these different animals......therefore...the boat called NOAHS ARK, woudl have to been the SIZE of RHODE ISLAND!

If the entire would could get amnesia....forget that we do not agree with the rligons and politics of others....we could spend all the military budgets on rebuilding countries that get devastated by NAture. The Hungry would be fed, the infirm healed, money for medical research for medicines...and for future research. We could have an incredible transportation system worldwide. We could have solar, and hydro electic power...light up the world. FUSION nuclear power could be created...which wouldnt be radio active. Roads and rain systems could be built for inexpensive travel. We can go off the dependence of gasoline, but that is because of the greed of the corporations. We can have a world wide rehabilitation for people on drugs....and that would cut the cost of crime.....way way down.
The reason we have such religous differences is becuase most religions are power based...to control the masses, who fall for the shit of their leaders. The POPE, the WORD of MOHAMMED, the CrazY HAssidics and their nonsense..and although, the HINDUS and Buddists are peaceful, they can refine some of they beliefs.
The corporations have boughtup so much farm land world wide and destroying the earth, changing the crops, which are no longer natural but their DNA has Changed, ant eh foods are less healthy, less tasteful, but created to be more plentiful and more resistant to disease and bugs. And the pesticides are causing diseases......
These corporations have made conditions so, that the farmers have lost their farms...they have large food conglomerates...that fix prices adn the farmers cannot get enough money to survive....they loose their farms, then the big guys buy up their land...
Our form of Democracy, is as evil as Communism.....although, Commumnism has never really been put into affect....RUssian Communism was a dictatorship....so we really dont know if it can work. It does work in ISrael, on the KIBBUTZ, but in a Capitalistic and Socialistic Country.
Not until the UNITED NATIONS can shit or get off the pot...Really discuss things as they need to be. Being Politically correct, only keeps reality hidden. They need to find the same realization that is contained in this blog. BUT HOW TO ACHIECE THIS.. I DO NOT KNOW. WAR HAS TO BE STOPPED.. THAT IS THE FIRST STEP. THEN WITH THE MONEY, START MAKING THE WORLD MORE LIVEABLE.

I KNOW I AM NAIVE! I DOUBT IF THOSE IN POWER, WOULD PUT THEIR POSITION AND LIVES IN JEOPARDY TO SAVE THE WORLD. NOT UNTIL, MARS INVADES, WILL EVERYONE REALLY WORK TOGETHER.....I TRIED TO CALL THE PRESIDENT OF MARS TO HAVE A CONFERENCE....THEIR
800 NUMBER WAS BUSY!!!

VOODOO,iNCREDIBLE FAST HOMEMADE(THEY THINK) SOUP

After evangelicals attacked a voodoo ceremony in the Port-au-Prince neighborhood of Cité Soleil this week, Max Beauvoir, supreme head of the Voodoo religion in Haiti, raised the prospect of "open war" between proselytizing Christians and Voodooists, according to Agence France-Presse. He claimed further that some evangelicals are using food aid to "buy souls" and steer adherents away from Voodoo.

iF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, SOME OF THE NONSENSE IN THE CHRISTIAN(AND OTHER RELIGONS AS WELL) ARE JUST AS REDICULOUS AS THE VOODOO NONSENSE.

hERE IS A VERY QUICK RECIPE FOR A SOUP, YOUR FAMILY AND FREINDS WILL THINK YOU WERE UP ALL NIGHT COOKING.... rECIPE FOR FOUR.

open up a can of PROGRESSO CHICK/Sausage GUMBO. Add 1/2 to full cup of cooked frozen shrimp. Chopped up one large roasted pimento. Add 4 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, Table spoon of dried cilantro (or two tablespoon of fresh) hot sauce to taste....2 cloves of fresh grated garlic. one small onion chopped small
and a few tablespoons of apple cider or wine vinegar to taste. ALL OF THIS DOENST EVEN TAKE 5 MINUTES. MICROWAVE UNTIL SHRIMP IS DEFROSTED AND HOT.

THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS..ANOTHER WAY IS TO ADD THE VINEGAR, OLIVE OIL, FRESH GARLIC AND ONION AFTER THE SOUP IS IN INDIVIDUAL BOWLS AND SERVED.. GUEST CAN ADD THOSE THEMSELVES. YOU WILL NOT BELIVE THIS ALL ISNT HOMEMADE...

SNOWDAY(WILL BE ADDING TO BLOG ALL DAY AND NIGHT-COME BACK

tHE SNOW COVERES THE LANDSCAPE, THE BACK OF THE STORE, WHERE THERE HOHOKUS BROOK WINDS THRU AND THEN CURVED TO THE RIGHT, AND HEADS FOR RIDGEWOOD, LOOKS LIKE A PICTURE POSTCARD, WITH SNOW LADEN ROCKS AND TREES. THE DUCKS, ARE NO WHERES TO BE SEEN. THE THREAT OF A BLIZZARD LATER TONIGHT,,,A SNOWACAINE LOOMS. HIGH WINDS UP TO 50 MILES AN HOUR HAVE BEEN PREDICTED.
BUSINESS OF COURSE IS NON EXISTANT. I SAID THAT IF ANYONE CAME IN, THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE INSANE. WELL, ONE WOMAN DID COMEIN, AND THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH HER....EITHER OVER MEDICATED, ALZHEIMERS....ALTHOUGH SHE TOLD JUAN, THAT SHE HAS KIDNEY TORUBLE FOR 20 YEARS...BUT SHE OWULD TALK, AND EITHER FORGET WHAT SHE WAS SAYING,,,HAVE TO THINK OF A WORD...BUT SEEMS SOMEWHAT DISCOMBOBULATED.
i HAVE LOADS OF WORK TO DO, REARRANGING THINGS....BUT BEING ALONE NOW, AND THE PORTABLE PHONE NOT WORKING, I CANNOT GO TO FAR AWAY FROM THE OFFICE AREA.....

Wednesday..back to SOS(Same old shit) stress,business etc

Last night I went to the diner with my friend BArabara the gorgeous lawyer...who got me out of my depression> This morning, the idiots from INDIA...Avanta BAK started harassing me...again, they only called 4 times today...(that I know of) and I told a few of them to go F themselves,....one a flying anus, told me I was rude....before I slammed the phone down, I told him....in question form "I am rude.? you dont think harassing me and calling efore 8 in the morning and calling all day....12 times in a day and half, after i told you assholes that i paid>????A few other calls when I heard their voice, I told them to go and feed their elephants.....ONe call, I was somewhat calm, and asked to speak to his superviser and he wouldnt..stop talking about other stuff.
The second pressure inducing calls were a series of call form a woman who put a deposit on a set of chairs 5 months ago.....we kept them for sale, in a holding room, even though the bill states that after 2 weeks, they loose their deposit, or a storage fee can be applied. We called her and her number was disconnected. John then wrote her a letter telling her to call if she still wanted the chairs.. IN a few more weeks she appeared here..telling us she wanted them, but the balance couldnt be "cashed" (a check"....for two more weeks....We told her we would hold the check, and when it was cleared..she could get them.
WHile I was on vacation she came to pic them up....one of the rungs was loose and needed glueing...no big deal....THEN SHE SAID SHE WANTED ALL HER MONEY BACK AFTER WE WERE NICE ENOUGH TO HOLD THEM FOR 5 MONTHS...AND NO STORAGE.... She called back,...the chair has been repaired like new.....she said she wants all the money back...."I didnt buy busted up stuff" I told her it is not busted up...which it isnt.....anyway.... she said I will hear from her attorney....I said fine....and I would then charge her for storage for 5 months....Then her brother called, and i told him she bought the chairs in this condition.....etcetc......then she called back again and is going to sue me and calling channel 7 NEWS....I said I love advertising.....I called channel 7 news myself....and left a message on their machine.....You know the phrase no good deed goes unpunished....well use it HERE!!!


I will hold up stories about my vacation when I get my photos back on a CD...since my camera somehow...lost all of them..but left it in EDDIES computer.....in Mexico.

Today I want to comment on some of the big news...or what the FLYING ANUS COmmitte of AOL,considers big news. AN ISRAELI PLASTIC SURGEON fixed the penis of a Muslim Arab, that got mangled at his circumcism......their article gave far to much description of his dick, as to condition, size, scars, etcetc.. But now, its all fixed up, it wroks again, and is over 3" bigger. I am so happy for him..This is really not what I called important INTERNATIONAL NEWS. Jewish babies are hardly old enough to pee when they cut circumciszed....but ARABS get it done when they ar thirteen....OUCH...really, fucking ouch....and when their tradition started, they didnt not have any anesthesia or anticeptics....(nor do the Africans who are also about 13)....I cannot imagine the intense pain...and fear they must go thru in anticipation. Now Jewish kids should be so thankful, that on their theirteenth birthday, they dont get "cut" but get Bar Mitzvahed, with a giant celebration..catered...maybe taken on a cruise with their entire family and friends...or go to a hotel for the weekend...or even have a Memorial Bar Mitzvah Baseball game at the MEADOWLANDS......that cost almost as much as a Coronation in a small country. OY, culture is so frigging stupid....
So now, there is an ARAB that can thank his sex life on a JEW. I just hope that his newly deisgned penis, doenst create a child, that will become a suicide bomber.

Other very important news today from the FLYING ANUS news group from AOL.....they just discovered that after analyzing the skulls of some newly dig up dinasaurs....now are you ready for this???? The huge dinasaurs, although they had teeth, didnt chew their food, wich was mostly vegetation.....they swallowed their food whole..WOW! That is the news...the headlines...THEY SWALLOWED their food whole. Now I can relax...I was so worried that they had to chew their leaves.WHY IS THIS NEWS. WHAT HAPPENED TODAY IN AFGANISTAN, WHAT HAPPENED IN IRAQ, WHAT ABOUT THE VARIOUS HORRIBLE STUFF GOING ON IN AFRICA...THE STARVATION, THE Killing of GAY people in Liberia and Nigeria, The Stoning of women and other sinners in Arab, and African Muslim COuntries,.......there was no news of HAITI.....just other news about the Greeks rioting, French company with a high suicide rate, MOre shit about TOIGER woods and his magic putz//....all very unimportant nonses....This is all part of the DUMBING DOWN of America by All the MEDIA.....just now I heard on the channel 9 NEWS, that they have a guy in jail who threw is two month old baby off a bridge into the water.....IS THIS NEWS?

tHANK GOODNESS WE DID HAVE A GOOD DAY IN THE STORE....

Dreary day, back in the store and depressed!!

Usually I never get depressed...and after having 8 days off...feeling full of life and happy, I certainly shouldnt be depressed. BUT....being thrown brutally back into reality of my life in the STORE and back into the UNITED STATES and winter, is like being thrown naked into ice water after sitting in a sauna for an hour or two.
Phone calls from ATVANTA bank, who didnt yet get their check form the Credit Coard COnsolidators....who began calling me 8 in the morning...and at least 7 or 8 times more......saying the call is being recorded..finally after the third time, i said, its being recorded...good, go to hell and go fuck yourself....this is harrassment....it continue all day until 6.
Atvanta Bank raised my rate of interest to 32 percent after the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center....business in this area was at a standstill and NO ONE paid their card for a few months...so we get horribly punished finantially becuase of the attack...that was either planned by CHENEY and BUSH, oar who at least, let it happen, purposely,m or by stupidity....but, being a Conspirisy person, I really belive it was created to get all Americans to accept another Iraqi war...out of revenge for attacking us...
JUst think about it....where were all the planes that were supposed to be in the air to protect us. Do you really think Washington DC would be left un-attended ? So you thing that the PArt of the Pentagon that was attacked was only co-incidently empty of all people and paperwork....it was under renovation....and no one really saw a plane there..only a few doctored photoshopped images.....and one of them showed any WINGS of the plane, that wouuld have had to be sheared off.,,,and the hole in the building was very small....the top floor was there ,as was the bottom...it looked like a missle hit...and that is what I think it was...a missle, from an airforce base only a few miles away.
Back the the state of affairs here..John and Richy et all, did a wonderful job while I was gone, delivering, picking up and buy and selling....The store looked good. And I was proud of all of them..
Another thing I was depressed over was that somehow, and we still can not pin point when and how, but when we went to put the card from the camera into the computer....it registered empty..All photos were lost. 500 of them...some of them were beyond awesome and there were some video shorts...the memories in my mind will not belost however, but I cannot plug my brain intot the computer and bring the fantastic images upon the screen or print them out. SOmewhere in Mexico, on Eddies computer, he had tried to download them..and hopefull he has them, will mail them to my on a disc. I was saddened and yet not angry...I didnt have a fit, or start blaming anyone.....and that is a sign, that my trip was theraputic.....I remain calm>!!!
Today was dismal, few people in, and I must have had a bit of jet lag and just plain tierdness. As yesterdays blog ended....I got back to the house from the 3 hour trip into asshole nowhere....and another 3 hours back, that turned into 6 or 7 hours back under a starry starry moonlit night.I think s might have slept for an hour and half, when I awoke ..and started the trip to the airport...
Eddie was awake, and soon George(his cousin) and another guy whose name I cant remember) arrived and they all went with me to the airport.. I was sad to leave Eddie, Sad to leave Mexico, and sadder to have to return...the the same old grind, where laughter is not a common thing and most people dont smile. Customers think they are entitled to special deals, especially the very rich...and have some Papal or other dispensation to say what ever they want, be insulting...and we do not have the right to return the same behaviour.. I guess, since John has more patience than me, he can handle and even sell more than me....where as, I will not kiss their ass....well, unless they are very cute...and that is another story!

On one of the almost daily trips on a highway, that becomes a bumpy road, we passed a litle village called PALO GACHO!! I asked Eddie what Palo GACHO MEANS...and he said it means "UGLY STICK" We were driving thru ugly stick.....that is the place where the famous ugly stick comes from..when people say He looked so bad, he was beaten by the "ugly stick" Soon after we drove thru, we stopped for gas....two bus loads of people got off and formed a huge line for the bathrooms. This was not a pretty bunch of people..they were really all extremely scary .....so I made a joke to EDDIE..."Do you Know where they all come from?" He asked back "PALO GACHO" and i said thats right and we broke out into laughter.....We were on the same wavelength.
So for a few days..when we saw a person who waas very unattractive, all we had to ask was"DO YOU KNOW WHERE THEY WERE FROM?" and we would howl.....We saw a lot of people from PALO GACHO!

On GOOD FRIDAY, all good Catholics still do not eaT MEAT IN MEXICO....EDS MOM MADE SOME MEAT TACOS FOR BREAKFAST... then we went down the block to visit Abuela(grandmother)....of course, we had to sit down and eat there too...She made, a traditional Good Friday breakfast....a bowl of cut up fresh sardines and eggs...with a side order of tacos...soft and home made. This was my least favoarite of anything I had in Mexico....and yet, I ate it all, not to offend Aubela... I put on a lot of hot sauce, which masked the fishy flavor...and then drank a lot to put out the fire. I told her they were delicioso (very delish)..and although I love fish..scrambled eggs and fishy fish, just doest cut it for me. But these humble people deserve super respect..and compliments for their sincere hospitality....They treated me just like family...and I felt very welcome, and happy and honored to be there. Eddie invited me into his family, and Invited them into my heart and prayers.

back home.......feh

I got back today and I cant say I am happy... I think I would have been contented if I had been hit on the head, and forgot who I was, and where I live....and had to stay there.. Of course, logic would have it, if I had no PAssport if it was stolen, someone would send this Gringo to the Embassy.....and by then, a missing persons report would have been filed...
But for one week, I was happy, not to be filled with the daily bullshit, of buying and selling, and peoples kvetching......and things I did or didnt do........
I awoke to Roosters crowing and birds chirping....,in a small very modest home, that an employee bought for his mother, while working for me....and he didnt tell me....he is very proud, honest, humble and a hundred other very wonderful adjectives..that describes his personality. He invited me to Mexico, but tried to persuade me to stay in a hotel. This house did not have hot water yet...It was small, poorly painted...but he bought it and it was his or his mothers.....The love in the house, was more enjoyable, than any even luxury hotel could have affored me. The bed was surprisingly comfortable. I slept late, and he didnt wake me unless we had to go somewhere...DOwn the block lived his grandmother, an aunt, and assorted relatives in another house...also filled with incredible love. His mother angrandmother were always cooking......with is one of the ways that they show their love..and it so reminded me of my old JEWISH RUssian Grandmother, who barely spoke English, but communicated her love with her home cooking.. Even though they were poor, they still had three televisions..one being nicer than anything I bought myself....a pick up and a jeep..kind of old...and seemed happy. When you havent enought money for luxuries, then you are forced to find happiness in those around, you, and things like family and parties, cooking, music,...gardens...etc...and I think that they can ex[erience more pure happiness than some millionaires....If they have their health, food and shelter..and family....and do not put their expectations higher than reality..they can really be happy.
The last day, we had planned on going to a resort with over 20 over his family....but they got a call that his Grandfathers sister.....who lived high in the mountains...a long schlep away was on her death bed...so the party was cancelled and we all packed into two trucks.....and schlepp three hours up into the mountains...on roads that were very scary...dangerous...with lost cattle, horses and other creatures blocking the roak, which was barely wide enough for 2 cars....... one lane bridges, which had no guard rails..and if there was a slip up...bye bye...curves that if you over shot them, you would end up in some valley far below.....very scary...and then the last ten minutes..there was no road, but a very muddy and rocky path, that if I saw a survivor of one the Mexican 16th cent explorers still lost..I wouldnt be surprised.....and the family lived on top of the very tallest mountain..no less..OY.
The Aunt who was supposedly dying...looked very healthy to me......she was however very badly sufferering from Reuhmatroid Arthritis...but very very far from her death bed as we all were told....Eddie was as angry as me....but she and her family had a nice dinner waiting for us....and her back yard, if you can call it that....which was the side of the mountain, had Tangerines, Oranges, mangoes, bannanas,,,and many other kinds of fruits and veggies growing.....i picked a large green orange, and it was really ripe, large and very sweet......I talked with his great auntI would look into some natural help for her pain.....they do have some natural cures..but nothing works for her yet...
We were so high in the mountains....that there were no peaks higher....on top of their mountain, they had dogs and cats, a variety of turkeys, chickens, roosters, a rabbint and other animals........There are so many dogs in Mexico....that they run wild in the streets...they are thin. amd very unhealthy......so sad.....
I will continue more tomorrow..I am too tired....got no sleep last night becuase we couldnt get out of that mountain....a bad accident had the roads...closed..got back in time to pack and race to the airport at 5

nEW pOST sAME DAY

lATE THIS AFTERNOON,WE ALL PILED INTO EDDIE PICKUP, LOCATED HACIEL...WHO WAS VISITING AN AUNT, DOWN AT THE BEACH.....AND WE WENT TO WHAT HE SAID WAS THE BEST SEAFOOD PLACE IN THE WORLD....IT WAS DOWN A ROAD THAT WASNT PAVED, AND RIGHT ON A RIVER....THE LA MANCHA RIVER.....IT WAS VERY OLD, OUT IN THE OPEN......NO WINDOWS, BUT A ROOF. THE KITCHEN WAS POWERED BY SOME GAS STOVES AND SOME BURNING WOOD. THEY COOKING IN ANCIENT POTS,PANS AND CLAY VESSELS...i WOULD SAY IT LOOKED SHABBY....BUT.....THE ARMOMAS COMING OUT OF THE KITCHEN....SURPASSES ANY RESTUARANT YET THIS TRIP...OR AS A MATTER OF FACT, ANY IN NJ.
fIRST OUT WAS AN ICE CREAM SUNDAE GLASS FILLED WITH SHRIMP, SAUCE,CHOPPED CILANTRO AND ONION..AND OF COURSE avocado. tHE SAUCE WAS PERFECT...NOT SPICEY..I DID ADD A LITTLE SPICEY SAUCE AND LIME JUICE.....wow.....THEN SHE BROUGHT OUT FOR MA A WHOLE FRIED FISH....LOOK LIKE A SEA BASS..BUT IT HAD SOME OTHER NAME..IT TOO WAS PERFECT... EDDIE HAD A FISH AND SEAFOOD SOUP, A LITTLE SPICY, AND HAD A LIME FLAVOR WITH A HINT OF SOMETHING I NEVER HAD BEFORE..A SPICE.....THAT HAS TO REMAIN NAMELESS SO FAR. TILL I FIGURE IT OUT...MAYBE A SRONG CAMMOMILLE FLAVOR?
gEORGE HAD THE SHRIMP COCKTAIL TOO AND FRIED FISH....WE ALL WENT AWAY FEELING GREAT......
THEN WE DROVE DOWN TO THE GULP OF MEXICO AT SUNSET....GEORGE LEFT WITH HACIEL ON HIS MOTORBIKE......AND THEN, EDDIE AND I GOT STUCK IN THE SAND....EDDIE GOT US OUT FINALLY....I WAS WORRIED WE WOULD BE STRANDED TILL MORNING......WE WERE MILES FROM CIVILAZATION....DOWN A ROAD, THAT NOT ONLY ISNT PAVED, IT CONTAINS HOLES, ROCKS, BUMPS,HILLS, AND GOES THRU THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE...PAST A CEMETARY THAT LOOKS LIKE A NORMAL CEMETARY IN DRAG..EVERYTHING IS PAINTED IN GARRISH COLORS..AND REAL AND PLASTIC FLOWERS ADORN THE STONES...PHOTOS WILL FOLLOW EVENTUALLY....IT WAS NOT EIRE, BUT VERY STRANGE....LOOKS LIKE IT WAS DESIGNED BY 1970 ROMA FUNTIURE COMPANY.....

The Sun Finally came out,FOOD(of course) relaxing

The sun finally came out for the first time in 5 days....bright shiny and everything looks more colorful...but the rain never depressed me......just being away from the daily grind, for the first time in 5 years is refreshing. No schedule to adhere to...to special time i had to get up....just relaxing and when we go somewhere its the spur of the moment....with no great expectations.
My limited Spanish...is not as limited as I thought. I can order from retuarants, go shopping in the stores, and even ask for medicines at the pharmacy.....and engage in conversations..of course my grammar is much to be desired, people can understand the GRINGO
Yesterday we all piled into the pickup truck, and drove out to the PYRAMIDS...built by Eddies ancestors a few thousand years ago...
eVEN THOUGH,,this is a small retuaration....and that much of the tops were missing, it was an awesome glimpse back in time....the size of them were small in width and breadth too....which might make them some of the earliest extant....we walked around, posing on stone pedastle, imitating the gods of ancent times..we laughed got silly, George said the area had an echo...since we thought we were the only tourist there...he yelled our various body parts and curse words to reverberate in the 20 acre or more historical land mark, surrounded by the orginal stone wall. We walked a few feet and realized, a large group of people heard our obsenities..which made us get hysterical......then a large AGerman Sheppard can running up to us....I extended my hand...and EDDY got scared....an stepped back. The dog opened his mouth and grabbed my hand....IN PLAY...we played and Eddy looked on in horror, sure that I would be eaten alive..This dog was a huge puupy at heart....just looked scary
Today is Good Friday......forbreakfast Eddies mother made the typical local sausage and beans, which we stuffed into Corn tortilla shells, that we bought commercially yesterday....After we ate the meat ones, his Grandmother,who raised him and lives down the block, called to invite us for GOOD FRIDAY tortillas, which turned out to be sardines and scrambled eggs and hot sauce....which didnt really dound so great, but with hot sauce and cilantro, was very nice..and different...Today we might go to the GULF and have a fresh whole fish cooked for us...

gUACAMOLE, & OTHER FOOD.....YUM

THE BLOG WILL BE OUT OF CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER....BUT ITS THE CONTENT THAT IS IMPORTANT..NOT WHICH CAME FIRST...IT IS MY STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS...
TONIGHT, Ed and his Mom prepared fresh gucamole....it was great....to say the least...and we had so much that I couldnt finish my portion....ealrlier, we went down the block to visit his grandmother, who is a striking woman, dark skined, long hair, and was wearing a bright red scarf.....she reminded me not only of a typical Mexican, but a Native American.....which really are the same...the difference being, the bordline and WOrds and Names....the blood starting off as the same, while the Mexicans might be mixed more with Spain Spanish...but most people forget one thing...we are all members of the human race.....although, some dont act like it.....
I remember my Grandmother, who was only able to show her hospitaltiy by feeding others....cooking for her freinds and family...it was how she showed her love. These people and my grandmother have so much in common......The minute Eddie and I got to Grandmothers house, we were offered fried chicken, which we rolled into tacos with a sauce.."Salsa Mexicana" called that becuase of the colors of the ingredients...Green chillies, red tomatoesfresh) and white Onions....the colors of the MEXICAN FLAG.
Simple food,but so delicious......I refused to eat the beans for several reasons, the first being high carbs, and the other, the tradional reason of what happens after you eat beans...

Carnival=Their MADI GRAS,Great Supermarket

The second day....we went to a local restuarant for lunch..I of course ordered Gucamole...which turned out to be the best i ever had....basically because the avocado, was picked of the tree the day before! Then a had shrimp in a hot mango sauce,,,served with white rice that had a special flaor infused....a mixture of fresh garlic and spice... It was tangy, but againm, not spicey.....and I
had taste bud orgams....

I am in Mexico....I will ramble on..with fabulous things..i saw or tasted

Got thru airport security faster than I expected, and everything was checked, shoes and belt removed, computer case opened....the only test they didnt give us was one using a proctoscope.
I changed planes in Houston, with barely enough time to find the Train to the next termainal...they were already loading...The plane was more like a toy jet that you wear.....and have to flap your arms to take off. It sat 50 people, and the aisle, was barely large enough to walk thru...the fatr assed Steward, barely squeezed down the center to serve our choice of coffee,water or juice and a 3inch bag of pretzels. The seat was hard...really, and my butt hurt by mid trip......
I look ahead thru customs, thru glass doors and didnt see EDDIE...and was worried. The plane was almost an hour late, and I dont know why. We left on time and it was a smooth trip....there was no traffic jams up there, unless the pilot wasnt flying at full speed or fell asleep, or was having sex with the co pilot...which probably is impossible, due to the small cock pit....(excuse the pun)
I got thru customs pretty fast.....and walked out to see no one waiting for me....but then, i realized...that wasnt the waiting area...got my baggage, turned a corner and saw George...who also went home, and i for got....(he is Eddies cousin) Then I saw Eddie and some other guy I didnt know..(turned out to be a brother in law of someone)
The first think I notices when we walked out of the AIRPORT, it was COLD. YES, it was cold in MEXICO..and I didnt think top bring a sweater or a small jacket....only the huge overcoat......and it was drizziling....George and Brotherinlaw....jumped into the open part of the pick up truck, and Ed and I entered the cab.....I mentioned the safty of the open back and EDDIE laughed...hey, this is Mexico, that is the way it is done here...OK..so in ROME do as the MEXICANS.
Eddie has been in MEXICO for 8 years, and was 16 when he left, so he wasnt sure of the roads....Brotherinlaw, gave him directions from the back of the truck thru the little window.....and a few times, it was the wrong direction and we had to retrace the steps...But most of the times, I always get lost trying to find my way out of Newark airport and on to the right roads hom...we finally ended up in CARDEL, which is a part of Veracruz, as HOHOKUS is a suburb of NYC.
tHE ARCHITECTURE IN HIS suburb, is similar to Santo DOmingo, and the town comes alive at night..People go out to eat late, hang out in bars,clubs....and even lots of store stay open later than you would imagine...There are all kinds of foods,fruits, and other things being sold late at night,....you can even buy a romantic bunch of flowers or a custom decorated cake......
We stopped at a corner TAQUERIA....about midnite...Eddie ordered for all over us...i had nine....yes nine, tiny tacos ....filled with meat,onions,cilantro....cut from a hunk of meat that looked like those in GREEK RESTAURANTS that rotate top to bottom.....like gyros, but the meat was different....they put hot sauce on the table...It was so much better than Mexican FOOD here...WOW..and not spicey, as I imagined. I asked the waitress if they have diet SODA..which they didnt...Ed said order water..so I did...I order a
"agua dieta" Diet water...and she laughed...she knew I was joking..

We got back to the house....I met Eddies mother, a very elegant woman of about 50....his little sister, who he had never seen before he left Mexico 8 years ago...and his older sister,,,,,I greeted them and brought a big Red Heart Shaped box of chocolates, becuase they celebrate Saint Valentines DAY too.....we schmoozed a bit....I felt very tired but relaxed......I knew my store was in good hands, and I had nothing to worry about...I was here.....and ready for an adventure...which had stoped about 5 years ago, when BUSHES 9/11, the war, the economy, and change in tastes in furnishings, stopped me from my EURO excursions and fun.........

Day after the blizzard, Sarah Palin, My Grandfathers Grave found,DR was shocked

The day after the blizzard...was a disater for businessl a small handfull of people entered...and only one person spent 15.00. Not even enough money to buy enough underwear for my trip to MEXICO. The boys were terrific and shoveled out the MAHWAH store..and my house..and then, Juan went on his very first house call all himself and did very well.!!!!
I was estatic to read that SARAH PALIN is very down in the polls...VP BIDEN said that he likes her, but some of her comments he just doenst understand..she is so far out.....He was kind.... he should have called a a hypocrite uneducated moron, who is as articulate as a stuttering parrot. She kills wolves, makes moose stew, and was part of a plot with her husband to have ALASKA secceed from the UNION>.which makes her a traitor....and then this traitor (who acts and sounds like she had a lobotomy) runs for VICE President of the COUNTY she wanted to secceed from. And why OBAMA, didnt really concentrate on those facts.....or did OBAMA feel that she would be her own best enemy?

My Nephew found a website.."FIND A GRAVE.COM: and came up with a photogrpah of a tombstone, supposedly that commemorates the lives of my GRANDFATHER "ADOLPH gREENSTIEN" AND HIS SECOND WIFE.... PEARL DIKE"...BUT WHY WASNT HER LAST NAME ON THE TOMBSTONE AS "Greenstein" or werent they married...That is the next mystery to find out....HE died at a very young age...in his fifties...and the old bitch lasted until 1973...he died in 1940!!!! Somehow there had been talk of his wife and kids murdered him for his money....The grave stone was new....actually look even too new to have been put there in 1973....and definatley not from 1940.....the twins, must have erected it after their mother died in 1973.....unless, it is some kind of scame and photo shopped....I dont think my nephew paid for the photo...if he did..then something smells fishy.

I went for a quick check up at the Cardiologist this morning..My blood pressure was good, the tick tock sounded good to him. He refered to other tests which didnt show any blockages....and thinks the medicine itself makes me dizzy!! He was shocked that I had lost 16 pounds since I was there last month....He just said keep it up, and if i can...possibly, I might eventually not need medication.....

NOthing happened today but snow!! I slept

I tried to sleep..but people, still called. An Insurance Salesman from AFFLACK (quak quack( claled and wanted to come over to discuss an insurance plan.....for employees...he asked if everyone was here...WHAT? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? no!!!! i TOLD HIM TO LOOK OUT THE WINDOW, AND IF HE DIDNT NOTICE IT IS SNOWING..NO ONE IS COMING OUT ANTIQUING.!!!!!!
THEN A VOICE, ASKING FOR ME..... with an INDIAN ACCENT>.....either they were selling something, or for some kind of late payment on a credit card(which I doubt..we are paid up I think)
Then Glen called, Elliot called, some woman called and wanted to know if I buy bathtubs.....(I dont) sure I said, in the middle of a snow storm, at 8 in the morning, I am coming out to look at a frigging bathrub. LET ME FUCKING SLEEP ONE DAY WILL YOU !!!!!!!!!!!tHERE WERE A FEW OTHER CALLS AS WELL. sHIT...EVEN IN A BLIZZARD, I COULDNT SLEEP LATE.!!!
I let buddy roam the store, all by him self...to guard it..,well, no....I couldnt take him out to pee pee or.................so, in the morning we will be searching for presents.!!!!

Got Into Someones pants!!!! SOUL Food in CT...etc

Tonight, while getting my clothes together for my trip to MEXICO, Juan asked me if I am taking the pants that he bought me for XMAS. I said, NO!! They dont fit.....when I tried them in December.....I couldnt remotely get them on and close them...I thought it was an inpossibilty forever.
Well, I got on the scale, and the weight of 222 in December was about 204..that is 18 pounds...well, I said I would try the pants, but no way would it fit.ITS SO NICE TO BE WRONG. THEY NOW FIT.....THEY WERE 38", MY OTHER PANTS WER 40 AND TIGHT...SO i LOST TWO INCHES... IF I CAN KEEP UP THE DIET FOR ANOTHER THREE WEEKS. mAYBE I CAN THEN GET INTO A 36.....AND ANOTHER MONTH..MAYBE A 34....aT LEAST NOW THERE IS HOPE AND I HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW TO DIET.....

tODAY MIKE AND I SET FORTH ON THE TRIP TO NORWALK CONN...TO GET MY PASSPORT RENEWED..WE WERE OVER AN HOUR EARLY, AND LOOKED FOR A PLACE TO EAT...THE TOWN OF NORWALK IS DEPRESSED... MANY MANY STORES ARE EMPTY....WE FINALLY FOUND AN OPEN SUBWAY....and I ae a sandwhich which was tasty, and supposedly only 300 calories.
ALthough logic has it that the sand which must be double that.. If one piece of bread is 100 calories, how can a 6"wheat bread roll,with a little turkey and ham..together be 300? Well, they threw on some tomatoe, lettuce, jalapenas, and onions...and it was good!!!
Next door was a soul food place called JEFF's...the sign on the door said it was ZAGAT Rated.......and the aroma wafting out was incredible.....
After I completed all of the procedures...we left, but I forgot to visit the mens room.....so, when we got into the car..I said to MIKE< I better make a pit stop before we get on the highway...so....we went to JEFF's to use their restroom....when we walked in, we were face to face with all the food...Cafeteria style..we were staring down at all kinds of ribs, freind chicken, pulled pork, various pork chops, freind and blacken cat fish and other fish, crab cakes, Collard greens, mac and cheese, friesm corn bread...and the list goes on.....I wanted to try something.....the least fattening seemed to be the pulled pork....and collard greens.
and a diet coke....We walked into the back and there was JEFF!!!! Getting a little stage ready for a jazz band, which plays nitely....The place must really ROCK..The food was incredible....I didnt eat the complmentary corn bread...(I did seak a little taste....a bite, and it was relaly good) Jeff came over to our table and asked where we were from, and we talked for 20 min. He offered MIke a drink free, and wanted me to try his crab cakes....which i said, I would be back for on FRIDAY>

Two weeks back, when the Earthquake devastaed Haiti, and 200,000 people died,and thousands lay injured and dying, and hungry, and in shock, the EVIL EVIL man PAT ROBERTSON (The Born AGAIN hypcritical multimillionaire..said that the HAITIANS deserved this because they signed a pack with the Devil...years before when they got their freedom from the FRENCH...here is my commentary: love all the idiots who have to quote the bible for everything....The bible was written by ignorant old men, 5000-2000 years ago. they had no knowledge of medicine, dna, genetics,psychology....they knew not of very much....and we are supposed to listen to that crap, while we are flying around MARS taking pictures???
Robertson is an evil idiot, who lays claim to fame and fortune, but manipulating people in the name of this ficticious GOD. who would kill 200,000 people, and make millions more suffer? This is no GOD I want anypart of.
Robertson, Oral Roberts, JIm Baker and his wife, Jimmy Swaggart, and even Billy Graham, are all snake oil salesmen of one kind or another....They know you mention GOD, its a good way to make people listen and cough up money. Why some of them have done some good, they became very rich and very crooked. Some just didnt get caught.

PAINFUL POEM
how do you say no
when you know
its the wrong decision to give
what they say they need
when they feed
on the negative
and fill their veins
with venom
that calms their soul
temporarily
and calms their pain
numbs their brain

How do you say no,
when you know
the answer lies in understanding
chemisty
of the body
chemistry of the mind
chemisty of the soil
that grows the flowers
that produce the powers
to ease the illness
destroy the ego
the body
and your dreams

Sarah Palin Should work in Nevada,Snow, other nonsense

Sarah Palin is a whore. The way that moron is putting down OBAMA, for her own finantial benfit......is a disgrace. Half the country looks at her as an idiot...she knows shit from shinola. Even Glen Beck was making fun of her.....She was unable to name a "founding Father" on his program, until one of his crew held of a dollar bill.. Its funny, but sad, that Americans Buy in to REPUBLICAN LIES and NONSENSE. The only reason that she is in the spotlite, is that the REpublicans "wanted to loose this election" YES, and she was their guarantee...The people were tired of Adolph H.Bushes policies of lies, war,and robbing the country blind.

My eye hurts, I feel like shit, We bought out a large mirror store,etc

My eye is closing, red, it hurts and I think there is a style under the eye lid..and i feel fluish..bluish and Jewish. We brought in MORE than a 18ft truck load of mirrors......more mirrors that we have had in 8 years...all in one day. SUCH A DEAL(say with a BRONX ACCENT)
No one commented my my silly GROUND HOG DAY as a HASSDIC Holiday....So I didnt offend any of my readers.....so who would be offended. I do not think I have many or any HAssidics reading this blog. I wonder if they are allowed to have a computer.. They dont go to the movies or shows, or anything in the real world...They eat,sleep,breathe, and pray...their relgion. They do not get involved in the outside world....and are naive.
The ground rumbled and grumbled
moaned as their
Fields of vision blurredlIn an instant
ten thousand souls
raised upwards towards the heavens
then looking downwards
for others to join them
all to soon

The dust rose
over a city leveled
after shocks
paralyzed the shaken
thinking
the words of Jesus
my God why hath thou forsaken us

The dead and dying
those injured and crying
praying
for miracles that will not come
to save the crushed and buried

The world will come to
coax the Phoenix to rise from the flames
help that only originates
from great devastation
while keeping corruption
under a watchful eye


POEMS WITHOUT WORDS

If I could write a poem
without words
or punctuation
and capture
emotion on paper
with out pencil or pen
or computer screen
the paper might burn
from warmth in my heart
Tears would dampen
the very fibers
within
Smiles would cover
every inch ,where words would have been

Hassidic Ground HOg DAY

The following is a quick synopsis of what Ground HOG DAY would be like if it was a HAssidic Holiday. It is an abstract, cartoon type concept.....it is not written to be serious, but silly. A few years ago , I didnt a long version with fine details...but didnt have the enrgy this morning..


This group traces its origin to the DIASPORA, when a ground hog lead a group out of the wilderness to saftey in the wilds of HUNGRY, and protected them from the dangerous wild boars....that are not kosher.The name of their schul(temple) is Temple Beth MISHAGOSs

· Now there will be 6 more weeks of WInter...in BRooklyn..This small group that prays to the Ground Hog is not well known....They pray at night,,,,when others are not around....They have a Picture of the GRAND GROUND HOG, who wears a black hat, has typical payes(hair curls) and wears a black coat

... Then men, with prayer book in hands, pray.....while the women, prepare pickeled herring and lox ,cream cheese and bagels, health salad, and tea in old SAMOVARS.When the ground hog comes out, the men, start praying and swaying back and forth very . The Ground hog looks around at the men...when he finally goes back into ...the hole, the men all shout in unision "AMEN: and now we eat...

I just heard the coming attraction of TONIGHTS OPRAH show, she is interviewing children of the kidnappers of Elizabeth SMART......and how their mother cooked and served the kids pet rabbit......REALLY, ISNT THIS REALLY TOO MUCH FOR TV...WHAT WILL THE TV AUDIENCE GET OUT OF THIS..ITS UPSETTING, NOT ENTERTAINING, NOT A LEARNING SITUATION..WE ALREADY NOW PEOPLE ARE CRAZY......I THINK THIS IS NOT AN OPRAH QUALITY SHOW..... and upsetting...I LIKE OPRAH....but who cares!!!! Pet Bunny Stew...ewwwwww

Tune in later for more.. Write the above 9:40 in the morning.
