She devil?

So Nancy and I were discussing flags being at half mast today and the society we live in and naturally the subject of random shootings and Gabby Gifford came up. The tragedy of a 9 year old child being murdered, a federal judge, and so on. I mentioned that Gifford was being flown to a rehab in Houston today. (for those who live under a rock Mrs Gifford was shot in the forehead and the bullet exited the back of her head) Nancy was totally amazed at the miracle of Gifford surviving such an atrocity much less walking unassisted in less than 2 weeks. With my modest education of the Book of Revelation I asked Nancy "Do you suppose that Gifford is the Anti-Christ?" The bible says that the anti-christ will recover from what appears to be a fatal wound to the head. With out missing a beat my lovely bride asked me "is she a republican or a democrat?" (that might have cost her some karma points)I have to admit I never saw that coming. My response was this: Nancy, I don't think God differentiates between democrats and republicans when making an anti-christ.
Things that make you go Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Ya just can't make this shit up

Today....yes TODAY, mark it down, January 18, 2011, my very own Federal Firearms License arrived in the mail. I need to ask this question. Did ANYBODY who knew me as an adolescent ever dream that I would possess an FFL???????? I know that to have known me growing up it would have been a wild card guess that me, Robert Watts Hardter would be trusted & licensed by the ATF to sell guns to YOU!!!! Some things are just so funny & unexpected that you just don't know what to say. So to all who understand that God can bring about miraculous changes in a man I say "Here I am" and to all who say its just a fluke or there is no justice I say "bite me" To the ATF I say "yall are gonna just have to ride thisw one out to the finish"...........................................PS my wife believes in me, hence I succeed as a man. Who deserves the credit? Me? proly not. My wife? maybe.
Creator God? Hmmmmmmmm

The Fuller Brush Guy

I can't think of a more emotionally challenging job than that of being a Fuller Brush Salesman. I figure it requires people who just thrive on rejection. How in the world do you get up in the morning knowing that the first 99 folks you talk to are gonna tell you to hit the road before that one golden individual says "yes, as a matter of fact I do want some toilet bowl cleaner" These are trying times we live in. Keeping perspective on our lives is very important. I paid a even $100 to fill my truck this morning. Never thought I would live long enough to see that but that's another story. None the less my point is being grateful for what I do have, or possibly what I Don't have. I don't have to stand on a 120 degree street in August working a shovel in the city. I don't have hepatitis. I do have a fantastic wife and the Wonder Dog Shiner (yes he does have a cape). I have peace in my life. I hope you find a place of peace and contentment in your life. To be content in life is to have reconciled yourself with where you have been and willing to accept where you are going. Everybody sing with me now..."Happy trails to you.....until we again"

Who da thought

Mark this day in your history books. Today, January 10, 2011, the ATF&E (Alcohol,Tabacco, Fire Arms & Explosives) approved me for a FFL. Thats a Federal Fire Arms License. I am authorized by the federal government for the sale of fire arms to the public as well as law enforcement officials. Good Gosh. This opens up a whole new world for me. A ATF agent agent sat in my home and interviewed me & the mrs. Apparently they don't read my blog. Good thing that didn't come up in the interview. Does anybody wanna buy a gun?????????????

PC will be the beginning of history rewritten

OMG
Lets review. Here is an excerpt from a news article regarding Mark Twain's Huck Finn.

Now comes a new edition from Alan Gribben, a Twain scholar at Auburn University in Alabama, that eliminates the offending word, replacing it with the word “slave.’’

WHERE ARE WE GOING IF WE DONT KNOW WHERE WE CAME FROM??????????????????

A classic work is being rewritten in the name of political correctness because someones "feelers" got hurt. Stop carrying your feelings on your sleeve and be a real person. In 1885 this country's entire mind set was built on the foundation of the strongest survive. The peripheal fall out was bias and racism. NOT condoning either of these lines of thought in a "enlightend" society but how does rewriting/editing/censoring one of the great literary classics improve our society? In my humble perception if we deny the origins of our substance we are destined to repeat our errors. Hmmmmmm so that means if you/we/I buy into this pc shit our children our condenmed to the predijuices of our predessecors. Here's an idea, instead of denying Mark Twain owned a pencil and insted of denying nazi Germany existed take a good look at who you are and where you came from. Instead of letting pride get in your way and hiding behind the tag of PC just ask yourself "is this what I believe?" if not or if so ask the God who made you to forgive you for being human and not perfect. Grow your ass up and make a difference instead of playing like history never happened.

Hello? Is anybody out there?????????????

281 is the magic number

281....that's it....the magic number. $281.44 is what it cost to have lighting and appliances in your very own RV. Ouch, that stings just a little. I cant begin to tell you the amount of apprehension and trepidation I experienced prior to flipping the switch after I finished all my "new" wiring. The retailer has been thru this before as the box is Clearly marked NO RETURNS ON OPENED PRODUCTS, Grrrrr. Oh well, lesson learned........read the f......sticker first. God bless my wife. She is a saint. NOT ONCE did she EVER criticize me in any way. All she asked was "Can ya fix it?" I'm gonna get a church named after her.
