Fedex-Castaway

If you remember the movie 'Castaway' staring Tom Hanks, This is the spoof.

New heights

Each day I always think that I have reached my limit. I find that each new day I have reached new heights. Each day is always a new first for me.

I like what Audrey Hepburn said: 'Walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.'

The day after Thanksgiving

I don't do black Friday. So yes I was lazy and didn't get up until 10:30 this morning. It was nice, the simple joys of life. Right???

Now what I must do (no matter what) is to clean up after Thanksgiving. So yes I have lots of cleaning to do. Wash dishes, a lot of dishes. Oh joy I can't wait.

Canadian Police chase

HAHAHAHAH! What?????

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Julie Andrews on her 69th birthday

If you google this you will find this on so many blogs and joke pages. So I don't know why I have it on mine. Hmmmm oh well.

To commemorate her 69th birthday on October 1, actress/vocalist,
Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan's Radio City
Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP.

One of the musical numbers she performed was "My Favorite Things"
from the legendary movie "Sound Of Music."

Here are the lyrics she used:

Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,

Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,

Bundles of magazines tied up in string,

These are a few of my favorite things.

Cadillacs and cataracts and hearing aids and glasses,

Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,

Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,

These are a few of my favorite things.

When the pipes leak,

When the bones creak,

When the knees go bad,

I simply remember my favorite things,

And then I don't feel so bad.

Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,

No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,

Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,

These are a few of my favorite things.

Back pains, confused brains, and no fear of sinnin',

Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',

And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,

When we remember our favorite things.

When the joints ache,

When the hips break,

When the eyes grow dim,

Then I remember the great life I've had,

And then I don't feel so bad.

(Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted
over four minutes and repeated encores.)

Summit ward talent show

I was going to put up something else, but it was too personal to share with the world.

Times as such as this

With the government saying: "we are not in a recession. Just in hard economic times." Who do we believe??? I believe in numbers and facts of today. Like the housing foreclose and the inflation. We have inflation in food, clothing, electronics, and etc.

The good news is that gas prices are going down!! The one bright spot in these dark times. But that is not enough. The Utah food bank has more orders for food assistance in about 15 years (give or take 5 years). More family's are living on the streets and in shelters. Their have been states that have shut down their food banks. Hawaii food bank shelves have nothing on them. The grim reality of our times.

How will President elect Obama and his team fix this??? The US people and the world would like to know how they will accomplish such a task. Such a big challenge for the Obama team. We will be watching, waiting, and praying.

Evolution

This speaks for itself.

UTES

I must say I'm sorry BYU fans you will not take part in the BCS. UTES are bound for the BCS. Score Utah 48 BYU 24.
Good job boys you deserve it.
GO UTES!!!!!

phycho cats

My cat is much like these cats. But when other cats or animals try and bully him, he will ignore them, and look at them as is there is something wrong with them, he wont up a fight.

Go UTES!!!!!!

The stakes are high!! Utah must win.

Red neck christmas tree

I know that it is not yet Thanksgiving. I also now that their are people out their that will get upset when you say Christmas in front of them. I could be wrong if so please tell me so, but I think that this is because Thanksgiving get overshadowed by Christmas. So to set the balance I have a small history lesson about the first thanksgiving:

" The legend of the five kernels"

The first winter, the Pilgrims spent in their new home was very cold. Food was in short supply. Some days they only have enough food for each person to have five kernels of corn for the day. But spring came. They planted food. It grew; and all the Pilgrims did not die.

From then on, when Thanksgiving came around, the Pilgrims put five kernels of corn in each plate to remind themselves of their blessing.

Let us Remember:

The first kernel reminds us of the autumn beauty around us.
The second kernel reminds us of our love for one another.
The third kernel reminds us of God's love and care for us.
The fourth kernel reminds us of our friends.... especially our Indian brothers.
The fifth kernel reminds us we are a FREE PEOPLE.

This Country is based on people who sacrificed so much for such idealism. They wanted a better world for the generations to come. My family history dates back to the men and women who build up James Town. I am grateful for their decisions to come hear and sacrifice to build such a nation.

New offices

NEW OFFICE POLICY

Dress Code:

1) You are advised to come to work dressed according to
your salary.

2) If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a
Gucci bag, we will assume you are doing well financially
and therefore do not need a raise.

3) If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your
money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and
therefore you do not need a raise.

4) If you dress just right, you are right where you need
to be and therefore you do not need a raise.



Sick Days:

There is a lot of people out there who likes Twilight, and there are people who don't. But this is fun just the same.

The Real Story!!!

A DOG'S DIARY:

7 am - Oh boy! A morning walk with Daddy! My favorite!

8 am - Oh boy! Dog food with breakfast scraps! My favorite!

9 am - Oh boy! The kids! My favorite!

Noon - Oh boy! The yard! My favorite!

2 pm - Oh boy! A car ride with Mommy! My favorite!

3 pm - Oh boy! The kids! My favorite!

5 pm - Oh boy! Welcome home Daddy! My favorite!

6 pm - Oh boy! Playing ball with Daddy! My favorite!

7 pm - Oh boy! Dog food and table scraps! My favorite!

9 pm - Oh boy! Tummy rubs from Daddy on the couch! My favorite!

10 pm - Oh boy! A moon light walk with Daddy! My favorite!

11 pm - Oh boy! Sleeping with my Mommy and Daddy
in the Big Bed! My favorite!

A CAT'S DIARY:

Day 183 of my captivity. My captors continued to taunt me
with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on
fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only
thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape and the mild
satisfaction I get from clawing the furniture.
Tomorrow I may eat another house plant.

Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their
feet while they were walking almost succeeded - must try this
at the top of the stairs.

In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors,
I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite
chair - must try this on their bed.

Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body
in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of,
and to try to strike fear in their hearts. They only cooed
and condescended about what a good little
cat I was. Hmmm, not working according to plan.

There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices.
I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However,
I could hear the noise and smell the food. More important,
I overheard that my confinement was due to my powers of
inducing "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to
use it to my advantage.

I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and
maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and
seems more than happy to return. He is obviously
a half-wit. The bird, on the other hand, has got to
be an informant and speaks with them regularly.
I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his
current placement in the metal room, his safety is
assured. But I can wait; it is only a matter of time.

Perspective

This is so illustrative that I want to make certain you get to see it. Sort of puts everything into perspective.

Veterans

The Army has finely considered my dad a Veteran. We got a letter by George W. Casey Jr. General, United States Army Chief of Staff and Pete Geren Secretary of the Army. The letter states:

Dear Glenn T. Robb

You have been submitted for a Freedom Team Salute Commendation by SPC Hyrum S. Robb for your service as a United States Army Veteran.

America has always called upon the Army to do the hard jobs. and its Soldiers have always answered the call. We are a free Nation, a Nation looked upon by millions of people around the world as the standard-bearer of freedoms-freedoms guaranteed by our outstanding Solders and by the Veterans who have served our great Country in the Regular Army, the Army National Guard and the Army Reserve.

We are an Army of tradition. Our greatest tradition if service to our County, and in that service we ask our Soldiers to carry out tough mission all around the world. Today answering the Nation's call may take them into harm's way as we fight the Global War on Terrorism, a war that touches us all and on that we must win.

As today's soldiers serve, the the traditions and legacy passed on by the Army Veterans in precious conflicts sustain them so they can so what must be done to protect our freedoms. Our Army would not be the best in the world without the service of its Veterans who continue to provide support and exhibit patriotism. You make a difference to today's Army and to our Country.

There is more to this letter but all its states is about a pin and a thank you for his service within the army. There have been protest against the military for their service. People went so far as to spit on theses solders. That just tells me that these people don't enjoy the Freedom of our Nation (if that is the case move out). This Nation is free because countless of solders have dided to make us Free and keep us Free. To these people I say Thank You!!!

Veterans Day

Veterans Day, 1954

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

3071

Whereas it has long been our customs to commemorate November 11, the anniversary of the ending of World War I, by paying tribute to the heroes of that tragic struggle and by rededicating ourselves to the cause of peace; and

Whereas in the intervening years the United States has been involved in two other great military conflicts, which have added millions of veterans living and dead to the honor rolls of this Nation; and

Whereas the Congress passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926 (44 Stat. 1982), calling for the observance of November 11 with appropriate ceremonies, and later provided in an act approved May 13, 1938 (52 Stat. 351), that the eleventh of November should be a legal holiday and should be known as Armistice Day; and

Whereas, in order to expand the significance of that commemoration and in order that a grateful Nation might pay appropriate homage to the veterans of all its wars who have contributed so much to the preservation of this Nation, the Congress, by an act approved June 1, 1954 (68 Stat. 168), changed the name of the holiday to Veterans Day:

Now, Therefore, I, Dwight D. Eisenhower, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon all of our citizens to observe Thursday, November 11, 1954, as Veterans Day. On that day let us solemnly remember the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly, on the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores, to preserve our heritage of freedom, and let us reconsecrate ourselves to the task of promoting an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not have been in vain.

I also direct the appropriate officials of the Government to arrange for the display of the flag of the United States on all public buildings on Veterans Day.

In order to insure proper and widespread observance of this anniversary, all veterans, all veterans' organizations, and the entire citizenry will wish to join hands in the common purpose.

Toward this end, I am designating the Administrator of Veterans' Affairs as Chairman of a Veterans Day National Committee, which shall include such other persons as the Chairman may select, and which will coordinate at the national level necessary planning for the observance. I am also requesting the heads of all departments and agencies of the Executive branch of the Government to assist the National Committee in every way possible.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and cause the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.

Done at the City of Washington this eighth day of October in the Year of our Lord nineteen hundred and fifty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and seventy-ninth.

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

THE WHITE HOUSE OFFICE

October 8, 1954

Dear Mr. Higley:

I have today signed a proclamation calling upon all of our citizens to observe Thursday, November 11, 1954 as Veterans Day. It is my earnest hope that all veterans, their organizations, and the entire citizenry will join hands to insure proper and widespread observance of this day. With the thought that it will be most helpful to coordinate the planning, I am suggesting the formation of a Veterans Day National Committee. In view of your great personal interest as well as your official responsibilities, I have designated you to serve as Chairman. You may include in the Committee membership such other persons as you desire to select and I am requesting the heads of all departments and agencies of the Executive branch to assist the Committee in its work in every way possible.

I have every confidence that our Nation will respond wholeheartedly in the appropriate observance of Veterans Day, 1954.

Sincerely,

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

Eisenhower wanted the nation to remember the men and women who gave their lives to this county and the preservation thereof. I believe that Eisenhower new what he was doing when he appointed Veterans Day. A day set apart to remember and to reflect.

This Veterans day we not only remember the veterans in wars past but also the veterans of this war. We must remember that we belong to the great vast human race. Let us pray for the safety of our military, the end of this war, and the preservation of life.

The pink car

Over the weekend I saw an incredible sight. I was at ShopKo, I was coming out of the store. I saw this car and the color was pink, that's right Pink!!! My first thought of the sight of this pink car was, "how embarrassing, I would never ride in a pink car"!!!! As I got a little closer to this pink car I saw words on it, they are: Hop, love, faith, courage, and charity. I also saw a shade darker of pink ribbons on it. You see this pink car was a symbol of breast cancer, (that is why I am writing this post in pink).

The person who drove the pink car must known someone, or that person had or has breast cancer. Maybe that person had the cancer and beat it. If that is the case; I would like to think that. You see I did not meet this person who drove the pink car. I think that it takes a lot of courage to face such an ordeal.

It had made me want to say that we all need to be on the alert to cancer. I know that this month is not breast cancer awareness month. But remember that someone love you and need you around.

This also made me remember that we often judge the person or things on the looks and not look past and to what is relay there. You know that old fashioned saying "do not judge a book by it's cover". Sometimes all we need is a second, longer look.

Who's on First/ buying a computer

If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, "Who's on First?" (up above) might have turned out something like this:

COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT



ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

Military Humor

I need to take this time and thank our service man and women for what they do. I know that their are many that don't appreciate our military and what they do to keep our lives safe and free. With out our military we would not have the life that we enjoy right now. We would not have freedom of religion and of speech. The right to Vote or even to defend. I have a great respect for our military, and thank heavens that our service men and women can keep a sense of humor, in spite the danger's they face.
Thank you for making my family's, my friends and my life possible!!!

Pumpkin Pie From the Pumpkin

Ok, I now know how to make a pumpkin pie from the pumpkin. This is so cool, and very good. Unfortunately it takes all day, but worth it. This is if you are in the Martha Stewart mood. I didn't make this, my brother did and he did a very good job.

Grow or purchase “Cooking” pumpkins, such as sugar, sweet, or pie pumpkins, to make your pumpkin pie from scratch. Carving pumpkins don't work as well in the baking process, because they have less flavor and a less desirable texture.

Prep 1-3/4 hours. Bake 1 hour. Stand 1 hour. Oven at 375

Pumpkin Pie From Scratch

1 5-6 pounds of sweet pumpkin

2 cups of pumpkin puree

2/3 cup sugar

1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

3 slightly beaten eggs

1 5 ounce can evaporated milk

½ cup half-and-half or light cream

Method to make the pumpkin puree from the pumpkin:

Preheat oven to 375 f. Scrub pumpkin thoroughly. Halve pumpkin and remove fibrous strings, seeds, and stem. Cut into 5-inch pieces. Arrange pieces in a single layer, skin side up in a foil lined large roasting pan. Cover and bake for 1- ½ hours or until tender. Cool. Scrape pulp from rind. Place in a food processor, in batches, if necessary. Cover and process until smooth. Place puree in a 100% cotton cheesecloth- lined fine-mesh sieve. (use a double thickness of cheesecloth). Allow to stand for 1 hour to drain. Press lightly to remove any additional liquid (discard liquid). Reserve 2 cups puree for the pie. (refrigerate any remaining puree in an airtight container up to 3 days or freeze up to 6 months).

Method for the Pumpkin Pie: 

In a large bowl, stir together the 2 cups of pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Using a whisk, beat in eggs, milk, and half-and-half until combined. Pour into pastry-lined pie plate. (you may need 2 pie plate) To prevent over browning, cover the edge of pie with foil. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or more until a knife that you inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. If desired, top each serving with Whipped cream and sprinkle with additional cinnamon. Makes about 8 servings. Or according to my mother she likes to bake the pie at 425 for 15 minutes then turn down the over to 350 for 45-60 minutes. All in honestly, I like to bake the pie at 375 for 25-35 minutes. The crust doesn't burn, and the pie isn't dry.   

Cheers Everyone!

Dangers in blogging

Staying Safe: Dangers in blogging

November 3rd, 2008 @ 10:08pm

By Nadine Wimmer

A growing number of Utahns are discovering serious drawbacks to a popular pastime: blogging. But we found some cases that may change the way you blog.

Lainie Ottley

Blogs help families share memories, but they can also make families a target for harassment, even stalking. But there's little law enforcement officers can do. It's simply post at your own peril.

A crazy birthday haircut documented on a family blog. His mom never dreamed their Mohawk memory would end up making him look like a member of the Hitler Youth on someone else's blog.

"We were really upset," blogger Lainie Ottley said. "For me, it's a huge offense."

She not only felt violated, but afraid of the association with neo-Nazis.

"Given the verbiage with the picture, we felt like it had created a pretty dangerous situation," Ottley said.

But when she called police, she learned there's not a thing they can do.

"That's some of the frustration, almost daily, when I take these calls," said Rhett McQuist, with Utah's Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force. "Right now, the laws haven't caught up with technology."

For another blogger, who did not want to be identified, the peril came not from pictures, but postings. "We had had no idea who it was," she said.

Degrading comments turned into more than a dozen threats and insults a day posted to her family's blog. "We just felt harassed and started to feel unsafe because of what was written," she said.

She and her husband eventually hired an attorney, filed a lawsuit, subpoenaed Google and were shocked to discover their stalker was a close family member. "It wrecked my trust in people, still does. And it makes you question everything," she said.

Those tough experiences get at the heart of what appeals to most bloggers: posting pictures of your children and making them accessible for family and friends. But how much information is too much?

We surfed blogs and found first and last names, birth dates for an entire, a countdown to the family Disneyland vacation, information on a husband's deployment to Iraq and a slide show of the inside of someone's house.

All this makes it easy, in many cases, for us to go from blogsite to blogger's doorstep in a few computer clicks.

It's just not worth the risk for these bloggers. "If you're going to do it, just know there's no way to keep it completely safe," Ottley said.

Criminal investigators say to Stay Safe, bottom line, don't post pictures of children online. You should also protect your blogsite with a password.

They also say guard information like your address. We saw pictures where the house address was visible.

Finally, adjust settings on your blog that protect your identity and make you unsearchable.

This is why I took off the pictures of my nephews. I hope that you will take off personal information you might have on your blogs.

The duckling & the Puppy

You gave me a mountain

I thought that this was good reading. I don't know how verifiable this story is but I like it just the same.

Brenda was almost halfway to the top of the tremendous granite cliff. She was standing on a ledge where she was taking a breather during this, her first rock climb. As she rested there, the safety rope snapped against her eye and knocked out her contact lens. "Great", she thought. "Here I am on a rock ledge, hundreds of feet from the bottom and hundreds of feet to the top of this cliff, and now my sight is blurry." She looked and looked, hoping that somehow it had landed on the ledge. But it just wasn't there. She felt the panic rising in her, so she began praying. She prayed for calm, and she prayed that she may find her contact lens.

When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but it was not to be found. Although she was calm now that she was at the top, she was saddened because she could not clearly see across the range of mountains. She thought of the Bible verse "The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth."

She thought, "Lord, You can see all these mountains. You know every stone and leaf, and You know exactly where my contact lens is. Please help me????"

Later, when they had hiked down the trail to the bottom of the cliff they met another party of climbers just starting up the face of the cliff. One of them shouted out, "Hey, you guys! Anybody lose a contact lens??"
Well, that would be startling enough, but you know why the climber saw it? An ant was moving slowly across a twig on the face of the rock, carrying it!?

The story doesn't end there. Brenda's father is a cartoonist. When she told him the incredible story of the ant, the prayer, and the contact lens, he drew a cartoon of an ant lugging that contact lens with the caption, "Lord, I don't know why You want me to carry this thing. I can't eat it, and it's awfully heavy. But if this is what You want me to do, I'll carry it for You.?"

I think it would do all of us some good to say,"God, I don't know why You want me to carry this load. I can see no good in it and it's awfully heavy. But, if You want me to carry it, I will."
