It's a Conspiricy!!!!!

I'm telling you its a conspiricy!! Nobody in this town knows what's going on anymore. I've never met a group of people so directionally challenged. It's a just soooo soooo....... it's a mind bogglin thing. Nancy and I are settled in for a quiet Sunday afternoon and there is a knock at the door. Naturally the dogs go nuts so Nancy stepped outside to find a girl, a boy, and a box of groceries. The long and the short of it is that they are here from Brookshires, our local food distribution center intent on a home delivery with my groceries. Since the "Brookshires" logo explained away the "who" Nancy asked the "what & why". "The handi-capped man who lives at 301.....blah blah blah ordered these and we are delivering them responded the glowing young staff at the successful completion of their mission. With the appropriate questions asked and accompanied by my wife"s stunning good looks the delivery staff began to realize that perhaps....just perhaps she is not a handi-capped man and they were at the incorrect location. Just like all the mail in this town. Do you suppose the Brookshires staff could be related to my mail carrier?

PS The "stunning wife" previously referred to in this blog has proofed and approved this message.

Shiner the Wonderdog

Nancy and I are sitting in bed winding down for the evening. She is enjoying her tea and I am experiencing a fine brandy.....no, not the dancer. All was good, we are talking about our day, making a plan for tomorrow, and dreaming of our future. Then it happened. Out of nowhere I seemed to have a small episode of flatulence. God as my witness, at that moment Shiner the Wonderdog wined and cried in pain then jumped off the bed to sleep on the floor. Man's best friend my arse.

To the Peanut Nazi's

Today, June 14th of 2010 I did something I should have done years ago. I have talked about it over and over but today I put my money where my mouth is. I joined the NRA. I feel good about my new affiliation. Homeland Security are you listening??
I've never been one for bumper stickers but today is a day of change and I think I will have to revisit that decision of years ago. Never say never, right? Does anybody out there feel as stongly as I do about the way our freedoms are being stripped away? I belive that people are really desensitized to the ripping away of our freedoms. Just a little at a time. Like being TOLD that YOU WILL buy health insurance because its good for the masses. Do you realize that your "factored" rates will be to cover you as a healthy non smoker as well as the HIV crackhead unwed-mother?? Hardly seems fair if "fair" were a real word. Back to the NRA. This is a group that is portrayed as a bunch of extremist but if anybody were to take a realistic view of American history they will realize they are simply protecting freedoms guaranteed by our founding fathers. A time is coming when we will live in a state like our neighbor Mexico where the only individuals owning a fire arm are the criminals. At this juncture I must say that for most of my life I have been quite apathetic about what Usam's dictates have been but at nearly 50 I (a)have realized the value of a voice crying in the wilderness and (b)am genuinely concerned about the world I am leaving for my children since they have no sense of alarm regarding the signs of the times. Next entry will be a look at the lighter side of life cause that's important too.

If anybody out there has an opinion on the principles I have shared please take time to share them. Time is short. The new USSR is speedily cascading towards an irreversible and premature demise.

Next perhaps a look into "Life according to Shiner" (my dog, not the beer)

No more soup...I mean peanuts for you!!!!

I'm listening to the local talk radio station today......yes I know that makes me old but it's true, I listen to talk radio. Dave Ramsey is a prince among men. I digress. The news comes on and I hear it. I had to do a double take as it was so ludicrous. I've always heard that poo runs down hill and the trickle down effect can never be stopped, only slowed. The news caster announced that legislation has been introduced to BAN PEANUTS FROM ALL FLIGHTS because some airline patrons have exhibited allergic reactions to said peanuts. Welcome back to the United Soviet State of America comrade. Please have all orfices available for a cavity exam should Usam desire a more thorough look into your private past. Yes my friends, the peanut is about to go the way of the dinosaur. Our esteemed leader has decided to absorb our automotive industry, our communications industry, the HEALTH insurance industry by deciding for YOU that SAM will be the preferred vendor to sell health insurance and YOU WILL purchase insurance from SAM and SAM alone at HIS predetermined price. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo now here we are, All of us are to be forbidden to consume the nut on a airplane because a select few can't keep from putting objects in their mouths that aren't good for them. I am so a fan of socialism. This is really working out for me. The same news cast played an excerpt from the head of the Texas Workforce Commission asking him about the multi million dollar short fall in UNemployment benefits and what he was going to do about it. With much ambivalence he stated that they would simply raise the percentage taxed on small business's to meet the shortfall. I guess just NOT paying the UNEMPLOYABLE for the privilege of staying home to watch Oprah never occurred to him. I'm gonna have to get a night job delivering pizzas to support the taxes on my day job.

PS For those in Homeland Security who are tuned in to this broadcast you should probally know that I intend to join the NRA in a national effort to undermine the KGB/IRS

I feel so misunderstood

Sometimes it all seems a little pointless. I really have no idea if anybody out there really and I mean reeeeeeeally gets what I am talking about. My whole premise is to get people to think. Really think. Can anybody connect the dots? I'm not one to lay out a series of bread crumbs for the simple minded. I want you to think. Put the clues together. Think about what God see's when He looks down on humanity, which I might add is quite frequently. I think He see's a conundrum. (for the cerebral challenged segment of my audience a conundrum is a irreconcilable set of circumstances) On one side of creation He see's His creation that He had to sacrifice His own Son to keep every one of us out of hell. WOW!!! Can anybody say "highly valued"???? Let me play devil's advocate for a minute and say that on the other side of creation He see's a microscopic mammal that is HIGHLY egotistical, self serving, immersed in its own sense of infinite wisdom, a creation that has an infinite ability of cruelty towards its own species as well as the rest of creation, a sense of self righteousness that is played out in a perverse reality, an organism that is designed to be joined together on every level....from the physical to the spiritual, between each other as well as our creator. Does anyone besides me believe we are a little off track? I LOVE my creator but am highly biased against being identified with the group referred to as "christians". I've come to believe that the bunch of "forgiven" folks are the biggest bunch of trespassers I've ever met. Expressions such as "I did all I can, God will fix it" "I'm not perfect, just forgiven" Good God!!!! This is the most self absolving crap I have ever heard!!!!!! What ever happened to accountability? What ever happened to integrity? Did anybody ever read the storey of Joseph or Jacob???? Everything in this life exacts a price.....including your creator. He didn't just throw his son on the cross and then say "it's allllll gooood" How about Abraham?? Perhaps a little self sacrifice there?
I'm NOT picking on anybody in particular. I'm speaking to myself as well. Nobody really understands what sacrifice really is. "I fasted soda pop & coffee for a day" crap....... Did you know that if you ate (at all) today you are in the top 10% wealthy of the entire world??? Does anybody want to talk about integrity? Did you keep the extra 27 cents because the checker at brookshires can't count out change? Did you keep the pen handed to you to write out a check for your latest.....(fill in the blank) Did you allow someone to draw a "incomplete conclusion" because you didn't volunteer all the pertinent information? Did you not fill up the car with gas for your spouse because you "didn't notice" or you "forgot"??? My friend,
God saw you. Your conscience saw you. I saw you.....or should I say I saw me? Here's the deal. Integrity DOES NOT have a grading curve. Integrity DOES NOT have a percentage. Integrity IS NOT measured by what you did right...the last time.
Integrity is measured by.........Shhhhhhhhhh.........by what you do in secret. It's what you did when nobody is looking, When nobody knows.................
If nobody knows does it really matter??? Ask David then get back to me.
Robert

Value what you have been given, care for it like fine crystal, treasure it like it's the last one in existence, be ready to give it away at a whisper from the Lord.

Who's money spends the best?

Customer #1
I have a customer in mansfield who lives in a house that is not less than a million dollar home. It occupies 2 lots facing the golf course.
IT HAS 5 AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS. FIVE OF EM!!!!! I've been doing his A/C work for 10 years and well this guy, lets call him "jack" needs an evaporator for one of his systems. He has all Trane equipment which is great stuff, expensive too. So I said "Jack", It will be $1600-$1900 for the evaporator, freon and labor. "Jack" says to me... WHAT!!!! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!! A WHOLE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DOESN'T COST THAT MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH. So when it was finally over and after threatening to call another contractor he relented to pay. Next I get a phone call from "Jack" asking me to replace a thermostat and whats his "Jack" price. Oh God, the rush of witty comebacks were so overwhelming that I almost blacked out. Can you hear it? For a man who is willing to say anything out loud that passes thru his brain I had to practice a lot of self control. I think I pee'd myself during the phone call. So I gave him a "Jacked price" thermostat and handed him a small personal victory. All in all I left with $1,800+ of his money. Hmmmmmm....enjoy the thermostat "jack".

Customer #2
Enter Charlotte winters. Charlotte "C" responded to an add I had posted on craigslist for used air conditioners. Used A/C's, $750 installed with a 30 day warranty. I sent my tech John over on a friday night to do the install. He returns with CASH. Monday, Memorial Day came and "C" was having some issues so I told her John and I would both come over to see what the problem was. Here's the nut.
"C" told me that she had been saving for over a month to have air conditioning in her mobile home. Somebody had fired a bullet hole thru her previous A/C. A friend had put a window unit in her bedroom so she could sleep. The thing is that "C" had no bitterness about how difficult the last month had been. As a matter of fact since we did a few extra things while we were there and it was memorial day she insisted on paying. I asked her for a token payment and went on my way.

So when I got home I took "Cs" money out of the box to take another look at it. It was sooo much more attractive than "jacks" $1,800.00 check. It looked like money earned. It didn't smell like "jack" had to sell one of his race horses to give his wife air conditioning. It had the sweetness of a single woman making the best of her life in a not so kind world.

pay it forward.......please, somebody needs you

"the poor you will always have with you..."

remember that you didn't arrive where you are today by yourself....my mimi taught me that.
