It's A Good Idea

2009-10-02T13:27:00.000-07:00

A physics teacher in high school, once told the students that while one
grasshopper on the railroad tracks wouldn't slow a train very much, a
billion of them would. With that thought in mind, read the following,
obviously written by a good American ..

Good idea . . . one light bulb at a time . . . .

Check this out. I can verify this because I was in Lowes the other day for
some reason and just for the heck of it I was looking at the hose
attachments. They were all made in China. The next day I was in Ace Hardware
and just for the heck of it I checked the hose attachments there. They were
made in USA. Start looking .

In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or do affects
someone else - even their job. So, after reading this email, I think this
lady is on the right track. Let's get behind her!

My grandson likes Hershey's candy. I noticed, though, that it is marked made
in Mexico now. I do not buy it any more. My favorite toothpaste Colgate is
made in Mexico now. I have switched to Crest. You have to read the labels on
everything.

This past weekend I was at Kroger. I needed 60 W light bulbs and Bounce
dryer sheets. I was in the light bulb aisle, and right next to the GE brand
I normally buy was an off brand labeled, "Everyday Value. " I picked up both
types of bulbs and compared the stats - they were the same except for the
price. The GE bulbs were more money than the Everyday Value brand but the
thing that surprised me the most was the fact that GE was made in MEXICO and
the Everyday Value brand was made in - get ready for this - the USA in a
company in Cleveland, Ohio.

So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that
are made right here.

So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets . . . yep, you guessed it,
Bounce cost more money and is made in Canada. The Everyday Value brand was
less money and MADE IN THE USA! I did laundry yesterday and the dryer sheets
performed just like the Bounce Free I have been using for years and at
almost half the price!

My challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for
everyday things and see what you can find that is made in the USA - the job
you save may be your own or your neighbors!

If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others in your address book so
we can all start buying American, one light bulb at a time! Stop buying from
overseas companies!

(We should have awakened a decade ago . . . . . )

*Let's get with the program .. . . . help our fellow Americans keep their
jobs and create more jobs here in the U. S. A.*

Oh My Mars....Attacks!!!

I actually loved this movie. It was everything you could play with in a movie. However; there are some things we may have easily overlooked lurking under the rocks of invasion and attack.

Look at those....

Studying this poster at length, one might wonder what "we" men or "society" lets go unsaid about what we think regarding the place of the human "woman," especially in terms of love, lust, reverence and disdain. Glare at the images and see what you come up with. Nonetheless, still a great movie. Even worse; what if we are the martians????

The Question of 'IS'

2006-10-04T12:57:00.000-07:00

Is enuf of nothing something? If nothing can be quantified; then it can no longer be nothing. But nothing is a lack of quantity of something—which makes it something still.

It is good that God doesn't answer every prayer. We are too easily consumed.
Thoughts, sights and smells can have profound effects on us.

Infinity Mine

My eyes can only peer at the gloom; infinitely tiny before the chasm of light my soul feasts upon from sources unseen by mortality. Only the immortal may fellowship freely with the mortal before one becomes the other.

In my silence; the roar of the ocean is heard; the sea grumbles over the pebbles of Time.
In the darkness of my eyes; the vastness of space unleashed; stretching between unmeasureable shores.
In the pause of activity; the universe moves into its ancient places,
awaiting unfortold and humanly unknown destinations.......
