Republicans

2006-09-22T21:08:00.000-07:00


They call themselves "the "Party of ideas", but how many are good ones. Here's a whole slew of humdingers. A liberal political rant.

I'm confused about fashion

2006-08-25T21:08:00.000-07:00

I'm really confused. Just when I thought I was supposed to take my baseball cap, and carefully bend the bill so it has a perfect curve, things have changed. Now it seems like you're supposed to keep the bill perfectly flat, and rotate the cap on your head about 30 degrees so the bill is facing either 10 o'clock or 2 o'clock. I was on the bus yesterday and there were 2 guys sitting opposite each other. One had a cap on with the curved bill, and the other had the cap with the flat bill cocked to the left. Can someone tell me how I'm supposed to wear my baseball cap?
Also, are the baggy jeans barely held up to your knees with the crotch hanging down to your ankles, are they going to be around awhile, and should I invest in some?

Getting Older.....

2006-08-24T18:23:00.000-07:00

As I get ready to turn 44 this month (God willing) I'm living in today, but also looking back and looking to the future. Defining my priorities and resolving to do what I can to make life better. Here are some of my "44" resolutions.

1) ALWAYS live by the Golden Rule...Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

2) Be more open with others and allow people to see the real "me".

3) NEVER be anyone's Door Mat.

4) I will not overly concern myself with what others think about me. I'm over 40 now and I've earned the right to be myself.

5) Priorities = God, Family, Country including my wife's family

Favorite saying - It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.

Likes - peace, harmony, health, nice people, my cats, guppies, the outdoors, world news, ships, ocean waves, honesty

Dislikes - loud obnoxious people, know-it-alls

Loves - (see #5 above = priorities)

Hates - anything Evil

Wishlist - Vacation to visit family spread out across the USA, Alaska Cruise, Home Theatre with awesome flat tv and surround sound, peace and happiness for everyone.

Birthday wishlist = Happy Birthday phone calls

Back In The Saddle

2006-08-24T16:49:00.000-07:00

Jeesh, a lot has happened here lately. Between the stomach cramps and diahreaa, I have spent a lot of time in the john. Went to the doctor, they took blood and 3 stool samples, and until I get over this thing I'm babying my stomach as much as I can. Lots of gelatin made with fruit juice.
The old computer with a 233mhz processor took a flying leap off the front porch last Sunday and re-assembled itself into a twisted heap of metal on the concrete. Some would call it artwork. I call it a pissed-off owner and a junked computer. In its place is a Compaq Presario Desktop from WalMart. Taking it for its first test drive right now.
Still waiting for SSDI backpay, getting so close right now I can almost hear the kachink. My lawyer got his share and so the pie is being sliced and divided. Maybe I'll end up with a few crumbs or at least a small slice. LOL In the meantime my payday for SSDI went from the 4th Wed of the month, to the 3rd of the month. That means this month I get 2 checks almost back to back. That helps a bunch.
Our email address is still RnKTapp@peoplepc.com.
That's it for the updates from here, please say a prayer for my tummy!

Need Ideas For Summer Squash!

2006-08-18T17:59:00.000-07:00

Usually every Friday here lately we get a free basket full of fresh organic vegetables grown locally here, from the local health dept. This week there was a whole extra bag of nothing but summer squash...zuccini, yellow squash, "pan patty" squash, etc. Tonight I sliced and cooked some in a pan on the stove with some onions, in coconut oil, and it was real good. Does anyone have any useful ideas on other ways to cook summer squash?

Living In Today

2006-08-17T12:37:00.000-07:00

This is what is on my mind today, and so here it is. Rather than wistfully look at yesterday, and fret over what could have been, or what we did wrong, or what we should have done, OR, rather than look at the future, and worry needlessly over things we have no control over, it would be so great if we could learn to just Live In Today, enjoy the moments that will never pass this way again, the here, the now, the everyday things that make life special, we would be so much happier. Too often I find myself thinking about negative things, things that take away from the enjoyment that life has to offer every single day. Being happy in today and in the moment and being thankful for every little thing is so much a part of learning to be happy. And it is a choice that we can consciously make. We can choose to be happy, we can choose our thoughts, we can choose our goals. If we stay focused on our goals and choose to pattern our thoughts in a positive way, the results tend to follow our thoughts and our lives become better and more fulfilling, and we get one step closer to reaching our goals.

Blog-Lazy

2006-08-12T08:07:00.000-07:00

Yes, the past few days I have not been as vigilant as I could be. I have to admit, it is because I haven't been online as much. I've still been trying to keep up with what's going on, and I have much to write about, but the inspiration has to flow and the energy has to line up and my coffee has to be just right, you see a lot of things behind the scenes go into making a blog like this....LOL...Trust me, I will "Opine" about something soon. (see, Bill O'Reilly, I can use that word too!)

Soy Milk and Soy Product Alert

2006-08-09T09:09:00.000-07:00

After a Heads Up from Mary, we did some web research about soy milk and soy products. There are web sites that say soy products Prevent cancer, and there are some that say it Causes cancer. The meat and dairy industry are large and powerful, and want to prevent people from using soy products. The soy industry is also large and powerful, and want people to use soy products. So it can be confusing to sort out the truth. But it appears to us from our research that soy products and especially products like soy milk, which contain soy isolates, are actually more harmful than they are good! The link above at the title has some useful information. My next step is to research Rice Milk.

Opportunity

2006-08-07T11:47:00.000-07:00

Sunday morning I watched "Meet The Press" and saw an interview with Condoleeza Rice. I was really impressed with the interview, and came away with a higher opinion of her in her role as Secretary of State.
In particular, one view she expressed about the middle east and the war there was encouraging, and also a lesson relevant to everyday life. In answering all the questions about the conflict and the negative views about the prospects for a cease-fire, and doubts about anything good coming out of this mess, she reminded us that every crisis, no matter how bad it is, also brings with it opportunity. She said that our goal (U.S.) is to make full use of any opportunity that presents itself, to help with the overall picture in the middle east. The news media is focusing on the damage this war will have, and Condoleeza answered question after question that was negatively directed, and she responded with great poise and dignity.
How great it would be, if we could view every crisis that comes up in our lives, as an opportunity for good, and an opportunity for growth.

St. John's Wort and whey protein

2006-08-06T12:25:00.000-07:00

Recently we started taking St. John's Wort, and I'm wondering if anyone else has any experience with this herbal supplement. It is the most widely used herbal supplement in the U.S. It is supposed to have antidepressant qualities. Reportedly it takes up to a few weeks to have a noticeable effect, I can't say that I have noticed any great positive effect yet, but on the other hand it has had no negative effects.
Also, we recently started taking whey protein, and are mixing it with soy milk. It is a way to make sure we are getting adequate protein, seeing as we don't get much meat protein. Has anyone else tried whey protein or soy milk? Surprisingly the soy milk doesn't taste bad to me, we are using the organic vanilla flavored soy milk.

Pics of our daytrip to Seattle

2006-08-05T06:56:00.000-07:00

On Thursday, we went to Seattle for the day. We took public transportation. All the way to Seattle and back to Shelton, round-trip, was only $7.50 each, and most of that was for the ferry ride from Bremerton to Seattle. Ferries are used by commuters quite a bit back and forth to Seattle from different cities, and also to Canada. The Washington DOT operates most of the ferries, I think.

British Accents on TV

2006-08-02T08:45:00.000-07:00

Have you noticed the trend on TV for people with British accents? It seems like we in America now have an insatiable appetite for the sound of the British accent. I have to admit, I love the way Cat Deeley (hostess on SoYouThinkYouCanDance) says the word "jidges" when she introduces the judges.
Have we run out of talent in America? Is there a talent shortage here? Do we have to go to the shores of Great Britain or Australia now to find someone who can do an Infomercial and show us all about the "Magic Bullet" smoothie maker?
Think about it....How many personalities or TV shows or commercials can you think of that have someone with a British accent now? Here's a few....the gecko on the Geico insurance commercial, the TV show The Nanny, it seems to me it kind of started with the game show "The Weakest Link". After that the English accent just sort of took off and now on a whole LOT of shows you hear the accent. I wonder what the Next fad will be for accents on TV? I say it will be the German accent next. (Dr. Z on the Chrysler commercial, also Volkswagen commercials). I'm still partial to my wife's Boston accent, though....I wonder if it was the accent that hooked me?

Politics dictating scientist's reports

2006-07-31T11:35:00.000-07:00

I watched 60 Minutes last night and was informed (not surprised) about how the Bush administration has been editing and censoring what the top NASA scientists are able to report, and whether or not they are able to be interviewed by the press, specifically about Global Warming issues. This has been going on for a while, and after much uproar the White House has finally decided that NASA scientists can be interviewed by the press ONLY if the scientists say that they are sharing only their views and not the Government's.

Our weekend

2006-07-30T13:52:00.000-07:00

We started out on our bikes Saturday morning, went to quite a few yard sales, didn't buy anything, and then we decided to ride our bikes over to the Mason County Fair, a few miles away. We got there, secured our bikes, and one of the attractions, Jerry Harris, "Master Hypnotist" was getting ready to start his show. He needed 10 volunteers, and Kathy decided to be a volunteer. They were placed on chairs on the stage, and then he went to work. I sat in the audience and watched, and I have to tell you that I had been up until that time a major skeptic. After the show we were able to purchase a dvd of the show, and watched it at home. It was very interesting, and humorous. Soothing music and relaxation techniques induced a state of ultra-relaxation. As a spectator I have to say that I believe there is something to it. What, exactly, I don't know. Anybody have any experiences or opinions?
After that we spent the afternoon walking around and looking at all the exhibits, and the 4H exhibits really inspired me to want to get into crafts and make something. Lots of cool crafts, and agriculture exhibits, too. Animals too, there were Llamas, goats, pigs, horses, cows, rabbits, chickens, birds, you name it.
The ham radio club had a neat exhibit, too, and had a booth where you could send messages like a telegram to anyone, via radio. I wrote out a message for Dad, it was supposed to be relayed via ham radio to Georgia, and then a ham was supposed to call him via phone to tell him the message. I screwed up, though, I think I wrote down Dawn's phone number instead of Dad's (0402 instead of 1769). It has been so long since I have called anyone on the phone, my memory of phone numbers is getting bad! So, if Dawn gets a phone call from the ham radio club with a message for Dad, that is why...LOL...
Anyway, it was a beautiful day at the fair, saw Many, Many exhibits, didn't stay for the rodeo, though, because it would have been dark out by the time it was over and we were on the bikes. We put 9 miles on the bikes yesterday and who knows how much we walked at the fair!

Bicycling update

2006-07-29T09:12:00.000-07:00

34 miles on the bike odometer so far...we saw a deer on the bike path last week, it just stood there, a doe, about 20 feet from us. That was really neat. Right in town, too. How's everyone doing with exercise?

Forrest Gump Goes To Heaven

2006-07-27T20:01:00.000-07:00

Thanks to my sister Dawn for this hilarious one!

FORREST GUMP GOES TO HEAVEN

The day finally arrived. Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven.
He is at the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself. However, the
gates are closed, and Forrest approaches the gatekeeper.
St. Peter said, "Well, Forrest, it is certainly good to see you.
We have heard a lot about you. I must tell you, though, that the
place is filling up fast, and we have been administering an entrance
examination for everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it
before you can get into Heaven."
Forrest responds, "It sure is good to be here, St. Peter, sir. But
nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. I sure hope that the test
ain't too hard. Life was a big enough test as it was."
St. Peter continued, "Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only
three questions.
First: What two days of the week begin with the letter T?
Second: How many seconds are there in a year?
Third: What is God's first name?"
Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the next day
and sees St. Peter, who waves him up, and says, "Now that you have had a
chance to think the questions over, tell me your answers."
Forrest replied, "Well, the first one -- which two days in the week
begins with the letter "T"? Shucks, that one is easy. That would be Today
and Tomorrow."
The Saint's eyes opened wide and he exclaimed, "Forrest, that is not
what I was thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I did not
specify, so I will give you credit for that answer. How about the next
one?" asked St. Peter.
"How many seconds in a year? Now that one is harder," replied
Forrest, but I thunk and thunk about that, and I guess the only answer can
be twelve."
Astounded, St. Peter said, "Twelve? Twelve? Forrest, how in
Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?"
Forrest replied, "Shucks, there's got to be twelve:
January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd.... "
"Hold it," interrupts St. Peter. "I see where you are going with
this, and I see your point, though that was not quite what I had in
mind.....but I will have to give you credit for that one, too.
Let us go on with the third and final question. Can you tell me God's
first name"?
"Sure," Forrest replied, "it's Andy."
"Andy?" exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St Peter.
"Ok, I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first
two questions, but just how in the world did you come up with the name Andy
as the first name of God?"
"Shucks, that was the easiest one of all," Forrest replied. "I learnt
it from the song, "ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I
AM HIS OWN. . . "
St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates, and said: "Run Forrest, run."

Politics in our house

2006-07-27T09:21:00.000-07:00

James Carville, the famous Democratic strategist, is married to a famous Republican Strategist, Madeline something-or-other. Ever wonder how they stay married?....LOL

The web address for my blog is "rickandkathysaid", but the title of the blog is "Rick Says". Just so that I don't confuse anyone, I should state that the views expressed here are mine alone. Kathy and I go head to head sometimes about politics, she is conservative and sides more often than not with the Republican agenda. Even so, she still has SOME redeeming qualities and is actually a great wife.....LOL....I'd like to see her start a blog of her own, and maybe I can get her to do that. She likes to read what I write, though, and we both are strongly opinionated in some areas. Please don't anyone ever take offense if my views on an issue don't match up to yours. God created us all differently, we are all a special "recipe", just like Mary wrote about in her recent post.
I think healthy debate is stimulating and helps to exercise our brain.
Unless, of course you're a Republican and don't have a brain to stimulate.....LOL

Any Questions?

2006-07-26T16:53:00.000-07:00

George W. Bush - 4 years National Guard - No Combat

Dick Cheney - 5 draft deferments - No military service, no combat

John P. Murtha - 37 years USMC, 2 Purple Hearts, Bronze Star with a Combat "V", and Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry

Any Questions?

Wishful Thinking

2006-07-25T16:36:00.000-07:00

I wish we could have a President who is not a career politician, not a Republican or a Democrat, and not owned by any special interests. I wish we could have a President who was a born Leader, who could rise above the politics and the media "white noise", head and shoulders above the fray of CNN or FOX. I wish we could have a President who had an unblemished character, whose rise to power didn't depend on the treasury chests of wealthy corporations. I wish we could have a President whose every move didn't depend on a right-wing base or a left-wing base. I wish we had a President that our children could truly look up to as a human being and a Leader, a President who could Unite our country and inspire our Youth, rather than divide it along party lines. I wish we could have a President who would inspire the Parents of today to be better Parents, rather than look for parenting solutions in Government. I wish we could have a President who would inspire us as citizens to become better stewards of the earth God has given us to live on. I wish we could have a President......

2006-07-25T09:59:00.000-07:00

I went to the Dr. yesterday and got my recent lab report, and my cd4 count is at 567, compared to 301 in April. The AFP tumor marker (liver cancer test) went down to 10.3, compared to 16 in April. Cd4 percentage went up to 24.1, compared to 22 in April. My liver enzymes have "reversed", meaning that my ALT levels are higher than my AST levels, which is normal. In April they were the opposite, my AST was higher than my ALT. Currently my ALT is 67, and my AST is 61. All of the other lab readings are in Normal range, except my protein, which is 8.4 (normal is 6.3 to 8.0) and my platelet count, which is 133 (normal is 150-400). Everything has been improving. All the prayers, and making the changes that I can, are having an effect. My next labs will be in November, and my prayers and our goal here are for even better health and better labs. Last night we celebrated with ......dare I mention......PIZZA!........that is a rare treat for me nowadays, and I sure enjoyed it. Everyone thank you and please keep me in your prayers, and especially pray for everyone that is sick, and especially today for my uncle as he recovers from surgery.

The Declaration of Independence

2006-07-23T07:20:00.000-07:00

The Declaration of Independence

In Congress, July 4, 1776

The Unanimous Declaration

of the Thirteen United States of America

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws of Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our People, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the Lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have We been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
