MMMMM...BACON
The Saturday before labor day is "International Bacon Day"
So I decided to celebrate, :)
This is homegrown, thick sliced ( from my brother in laws pig) that I just cooked on the grill
at work......
UPDATE:... it is now gone and I have to clean my mouse and keyboard!!!

Thinking About Life...
I'm working today, before the cookouts start and this
song came on the radio... I paused....
and it made me realize that this is life, its what you make of it.
There's No Way Out Of Here lyrics
There's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good
There was no promise made, the part you've played, the chance you took
There are no boundaries set, the time and yet you waste it still
So it slips through your hands like grains of sand, you watch it go
There's no time to be lost, you'll pay the cost so get it right
There's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good
And never was there an answer, there an answer
Not without listening, without seeing
There are no answers here, when you look out you don't see in
There was no promise made, the part you've played, the chance you took
There's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good

They told us......
Verbatim from "DOUG ROSS JOURNAL"
They told us that allowing law-abiding citizens to carry concealed weapons would turn our streets into rivers of blood.
They told us that taking trillions of dollars and giving it to those "who truly needed it" would cure poverty.
They told us that giving home loans to those who couldn't afford them would make the American dream achievable for all.
They told us that paying into the Social Security "Trust Fund" would guarantee a comfortable retirement for everyone.
They told us that allowing teachers to unionize in public schools would help inner city students reach for the stars.
They told us that the federal government could run a guaranteed, affordable health care program for seniors forever.
They told us that the new employment paradigm consisted of millions of "green jobs".
They told us that their support for immoral and criminal behavior wouldn't result in the breakdown of the two-parent family.
They told us that spending trillions on Stimulus programs would heal a damaged economy.
They told us that raising taxes on corporations and "the rich" would create more jobs.
They told us that our borders were "as secure as they've ever been".
They told us that intentionally restricting access to our own sources of energy would reduce dependence on foreign oil.
They told us that spreading unemployment benefits and food stamps far and wide would help the economy.
They told us that, despite other failed government health care programs, they could successfully take over the entire medical system.
They told us that their record-breaking borrowing could never result in a downgrade of the United States' AAA credit rating.
They told us that "the Constitution doesn't matter".
They told us that anyone who opposes their unconstitutional, un-American, reckless and failed policies are racists.
Well, I'm here to tell you:
Everything they told us was a lie.
Everything they told us was wrong.
Intentionally, diabolically, criminally wrong.
And if we don't vote out every Democrat politician -- at every level of government -- in 2012, this beautiful Republic, this magnificent country, this bastion of free enterprise and private property rights, this shining city on a hill... well, it will be finished.

A cowboy named Bud.....
......was overseeing his herd in a remote pasture when
suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.
The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, Will you give me a calf?"
Bud looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks
at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, Why not?"
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASApage on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.
The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg , Germany .
Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored.
He then accesses an MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer, turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."
"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says Bud.
He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks
on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.
Then Bud says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is,
will you give me back my calf?"
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"
"You're an aide in the Obama Administration", says Bud.
"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"
"No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about how working people make a living - or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep.
Now give me back my dog.
Let THIS post Sink In.....
In a round about way I ended up at "MacBourne's Musing" and one of his post
had a link over to a very simple post at "AK's and cupcakes".
Go take a look at what happened when we were warned about Hurricane Irene
and then think about what it will be like when the real SHTF scenario is here.

Dear Verizon Wireless Girl......
Thank you :)
Last friday night, about 8:00 pm I got a call that was an 866 area code on my phone.
I usually don't answer numbers like that but for whatever reason I picked it up.
It was a girl from verizon and she wanted to let me know that my plan for my phone,
which is unlimited calls and txting, was an older plan and they have a newer plan out.
I was kinda short with her being the skeptic that I am, I said "And how much is it
gonna cost me?"
She was very nice and said actually it will save you about $30.00 a month.
Me "YA Right"
"Ashley" ( I forget her real name, but she sounded like an Ashley)
"No Really nothing will change, you will just have a cheaper rate"
Me "So you're telling me that you called me a 8:00 pm on a friday to tell me my
cell phone bill is going down by 30 something dollors and I don't have to do
anything but agree?"
Ashley "Yes its the truth../cute giggle"
Me " Okay sign me up!" and "Thanks no-one has ever called me to save me money!"
After hanging up I said to myself ...we'll see...
I just got my new bill $116.79..... last month it was $146.81 unreal!!!
So thanks "Ashley"... I appreciate it!

TheOnesDay® *.......
A man goes to the White House and asks to see President Obama...
The Marine on duty tells the guy that Obama isn't President, and to please leave. The man goes away.
The next day he comes back to the White House and asks to see
President Obama. The marine on duty reminds him that Obama is not President, and to please go away.
The man goes away. The next day, he comes back again, and again the same Marine is on duty. The man asks to see President Obama , and the Marine, his patience worn out, says, "WHY DO YOU KEEP COMING HERE ASKING FOR HIM? OBAMA IS NOT PRESIDENT ANYMORE!!!"
The man smiles and says, "I know, I just like hearing you say it."

OMG OMG OMG>...just watch........
What the hell were they thinking???
How could they see??
from over at Aceofspades
The Gay Cowboy.......
A successful rancher died and left everything to his devoted wife.
She was a very good-looking woman and determined to keep the ranch, but knew very little about ranching, so she decided to place an ad in the newspaper for a ranch hand.
Two cowboys applied for the job. One was gay and the other a
Drunk.
She thought long and hard about it, and when no one else applied she decided to hire the gay guy, figuring it would be safer to have him around the house than the drunk.
He proved to be a hard worker who put in long hours every day and knew a lot about ranching.
For weeks, the two of them worked, and the ranch was doing very well.
Then, one day, the rancher's widow said to the hired hand, "You have done a really good job, and the ranch looks great. You should go into town and kick up your heels." The hired hand readily agreed and went into town one Saturday night.
One o'clock came, however, and he didn't return.
Two o'clock and no hired hand.
Finally, he returned a round two-thirty, and upon entering the room, he found the rancher's widow sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine, waiting for him.
She quietly called him over to her..
"Unbutton my blouse and take it off," she said.
Trembling, he did as she directed. "Now take off my Boots."
He did as she asked, ever so slowly.. "Now take off my Socks."
He removed each gently and placed them neatly by her Boots.
"Now take off my skirt."
He slowly unbuttoned it, constantly watching her eyes in the fire Light.
"Now take off my bra.." Again, with trembling hands, he did as he was told and dropped it to the floor.
Then she looked at him and said,

Good morning Irene...
Well I'm sitting here listining to light wind and rain waiting for the "BIG" hurricane.
I would like any of my readers that are south of New England along the eastern seaboard
if you had any major issues with this storm??
I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens as the day goes on.
Now its time for a coffe run to cumberland farms.
I would like to thank "SOYLENT GREEN" ( great blog for Rule 5 babes and snark and science)
for this link "REAL SCIENCE" Its been quite amusing reading some of the posts that Steve
has been putting up about the "hurricane". Go read and realize how much hype this storm got.
One of the real reasons I have not been overly concerned is the fact that we have a true leader
at the helm... I actually feel so much safer and secure now:
OH and we also have his esteeemed side kick mini-O:
Thank GOD I'm safe.
