I HIT 50!!!! FOLLOWERS THAT IS!


The above is probably the longest connecting link I've seen.

This was initially my Private daily Spiritual Journal, and I decided to Blog it. Recently, I have been so blessed by many new followers that have completely re-infused  my desire to Blog. It's never been about the numbers, the fact that  you are validated by others is an ENORMOUS CONFIDENCE boost in your writing, Photo's, posting-- and ability to relate to others in LIFE!!!!

Because of certain NEW FOLLOWERS that have signed up recently- (and I don't know why or where these WONDERFUL People came from)- but I LOVE IT!!!! This is becoming FUN again, and I look forward to creating interesting and funny Posts, that may just make someone smile!

Here is a sample of what I've always referred to as:

GOD IS IN THE DETAILS!!!!

"Stop, Look, Listen and Shoot !"
(Click photos to slightly enlarge)

I heard it first, and caught a SLIGHT movement..... click: NOTHING!

Possibly something on Right Side of Frame....click...

YES! There is definitely something there...moved closer.....(crick-Japanese camera setting!)

Hair and a Tail???? What is it!???? click.......

There is goes and Fast-- and burrowed out of sight! click......

Stopped, Removed leaves to reveal??????? What is that outline? Double click......

OMGosh--It's a Mole! (Should have double clicked!!)

If I hadn't Stopped Looked, Listened and Investigated..... I'd have missed this awesome encounter of a Critter that is hardly ever seen, and causes many, many problems in yards and gardens!

I would have missed a cool creation of God's! I went to video him,  but he burrowed so fast it was nothing but a Blur! I was amazed that I had caught him on top of the ground, with a rustle and slight movement!

I missed the tip of his nose here--but check out those DIGGS on his left front foot!!!!

DO YOU THINK I SHOULD GET THIS MOLE ON MY BACK LOOKED AT?


Hope you enjoyed- it-- I surely did--the miracle of Creation, Life, Nature--it is so compelling, that to me: there has to be a creator--"Nature Itself bears witness, so that no one is without excuse in SEEING ME, IN my Creation"..God , (paraphrasing Romans.) italics mine.

I may miss a post tomorrow since I'll be traveling to NC to see my Sister! Please pray for safe travel, as there are supposed to be some BIG Thunder Boomers!

GO GAMECOCKS- BRING HOME A NATIONAL TITLE BABY!!!

PLASTIC JOY--: AN AWARD


An award from ILY:

In a shameful attempt to generate more hits:
I slept ALL day on the Couch--I mean ALL Day, after a full 8 hours a noche!

I am currently working on this post-- I have the top 5!


I AM GOING TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT:


LIST THE 3- THAT DID NOT MAKE THE TOP 5.

OK--here is a taste, nothing tasteful about this at all trust me.....of WHO ALMOST MADE IT!

1. GI JOE: The Doll: for going Commando LONG before it was even known that we could !

5. A "PLAYA" TO BE NAMED LATER..INSERT NAME HERE.......... POSSIBLY IN A TRADE, (for a 1st round draft pick...... ). JUST TO RE-UP THE CREEP FACTOR AGAIN!
YEP- I JUST "CAN'T GET HER OUTTA MY HEAD" ? (mind?  which is it?)

*I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I CAME BACK AND CHANGED THE ORIGINAL POST. I IMMEDIATELY SUFFERED FROM BLOGGERS' REMORSE TRULY EVEN BEFORE I HIT POST! AS SOON AS I PUBLISHED IT, I REALIZED IT WAS NOT UP--OR SHOULD I SAY, IT WAS WAY BELOW MY PERSONAL STANDARDS & MOST EVERYONE'S GOOD TASTE. I REALLY WENT TOO FAR WITH THE COMMENTS. IT WAS TOO CRUDE, AND BY THAT I MEAN 

REALLY FUNNY!

BUT HOW FAR DO YOU GO FOR A LAUGH? WE HAVE ALL BEEN TALKING ABOUT HONESTY, INTEGRITY, CHARACTER, AND RECONNECTING WITH OLD FRIENDS  OR FAMILY RECENTLY!
I DID HAVE FUN WITH IT--BUT TRULY WONDERED IF I WOULD WANT CERTAIN FRIENDS, or FAMILY TO READ IT & THE ANSWER WAS NO.

I'M NOT TRYING TO BE PRUDISH OR PERFECT, BUT I NEED TO BE CONSISTENT & CONTINUE TO TRY TO HOLD MYSELF TO A HIGHER STANDARD. MY ORIGINAL POST WAS CRUDE AND OVER THE TOP, SO RATHER THAN COMPROMISE-  I TOOK THE HIGHER ROAD FOR MYSELF!

SATURDAY EVENING POST(S)!


Saturday Evening Post!

Of awards and pictures! I received an awesome award from ILY, via LL COOL JOE
WHICH I WILL POST EITHER TODAY OR TOMORROW!

I had a post prepared for today that will be awesome!!! So please return for the Award POST

vs.

MOLASSES

Yet another Educational, Challenging Picture Post, about Life and the Details thereof.




REFLECTIONS. STOP AND LOOK CLOSELY--YOU HAVE TIME!
See the Basketball in the picture?.....this picture is upside down, and happened by accident as I was flipping the original to Landscape format to edit it. If you didn't know- I'm not sure it would ever even have been noticed at a casual glance it is upside down, OR the Basketball..
DIDN'T YOU ENJOY HIGHLIGHT'S,  the magazine usually found in your Dentist's Office, and the HIDDEN PICTURES!!!!!!

RIGHTSIDE UP!!! 
You can now see the Basketball easily, now that you know it's there. Look at top pic again, and look at the Double reflection the Ponds surface, (in both pics) made on the Basketball. It seems to be hanging in mid air in the top Pic..
Or not.......

Original Pic--I took it this way to take advantage of low light conditions so no flash would be needed.

Peace out!

RELATIONSHIPS & PICTURES!



WOW! AFTER YESTERDAY'S RESPONSE I JUST HAD TO BE HONEST AND POST ONE LAST PIC. IT'S NOT NEARLY AS FLATTERING AND WILL SHOW WHAT NEEDLESS WORRY, RESENTMENT, UNFORGIVENESS, AND DRUGS WILL DO TO A PERSON. THIS IS PAINFUL--BUT HONESTY MUST PREVAIL.
I LOVE YOU ALL,


PLEASE PREPARE YOURSELF: IT'S A SHOCK!















PLEASE STILL LOVE ME...I'M THE SAME IF NOT WORSE ON THE INSIDE!

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER




BETTER LATE THAN NEVER?????



PLEASE don't go anywhere guys--It is really helping me day by day to read your comments!!! I appreciate you all, and as the Grand Funk Railroad passes, the Blog will again get much more positive, and

I'll once again be EL CAPITAN!!!

Enjoy an oldie! PUT THE HEADPHONES ON AND CRANK IT UP--LISTEN TO EVERYTHING--IT IS ROCK GOLD FROM ARGUABLY ONE OF THE GREATEST PERIODS OF MUSIC EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS SONG IS FROM 1970--THE YEAR THE FOOTBALL PIC WAS TAKEN!!!!



Everybody, listen to me,
And return me, my ship.
I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
Though I'm feeling mighty sick.

I've been lost now, days uncounted,
And it's months since I've seen home.
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
Or am I all alone.

If you return me, to my home port,
I will kiss you mother earth.
Take me back now, take me back now,
To the port of my birth.

Am I in my cabin dreaming, or are you really scheming,
To take my ship away from me?

You'd better think about it, I just can't live without it.
So, please don't take my ship from me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah ...

I can feel the hand, of a stranger,
And it's tightening, around my throat.
Heaven help me, Heaven help me,
Take this stranger from my boat.

I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
Though I'm feeling mighty sick.
Everybody, listen to me,
And return me, my ship.

I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
Ohhhh ...

I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
Repeated to fade



Going to drive up North of Boone NC. to see my baby sister. She is 8 years younger than I, and as I saved from her from frequent terror attacks from my Brother who is 4 years younger than I--making him 4 years Older than her (the MIDDLE child)...Chinese Water torture, wrist burn, and frogs--those knuckle hits on the arm that make an instant bump rise up-Damn those hurt!!

He is 4 years my Junior so being the middle one- he terrorized my sister, and since he couldn't whup me, I was her savior, and Big Brother that could do no wrong! Till she grew up and I fell of my pedestal when she realized I had faults.

I remember the first time she saw me kiss my girlfriend in the driveway-and she told me IT devastated her! You really have no idea what people see, and think that young! She is a very very wise woman!!! She then found out I had smoked Pot in college and that blew her mind!!!!

I really appreciate and love my Brother and Sister very much--and am reconnecting with both. We have NEVER had words or problems--time and drifting apart with separate lives just steals time! I'm making it a point to call both weekly or every two weeks.

Time passes way to quickly and it is doing my Mother's heart so good to know that we are getting close again.

Do you have someone in your family you need to reconnect with. Maybe even bury the Hatchet so to speak.

Is there someone you just can't reconnect with do to a past wrong?

UNFORGIVNESS will eat away at you like Cancer! Now of course I don't no all the facts, and have no right to but in...but..... (snicker)-- is it something you could consider? Just a thought..............

LOVE YOU ALL,

Time waits for no one-------

FROM CHILD- TO JUNIOR HIGH PIC, TO MID TO LATE 20'S, TO SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, TO 2 WEEKS AGO....IT PASSES BY.......... USE IT WISELY...
LIVE IN THE MOMENT(S).

OLDIES BUT GOODIES! SIGNS OF THE TIMES


SIGNS O' THE TIMES!
 























 this is my pic- as some of these really STINK......
This is my pic on porch yesterday, and I want you to see a pic that was posted with this article on Wicked-Pedia!!
I mean- MINE is soo much better! Just kidding...-I'm sure theirs is only about 75 dpi's for Internet posting, but enlarging them totally washed out the picture from Wikipedia. There are others linked to the article that are BEAUTIFUL and oh so Diverse!

Pic's from Wikipedia

 (Pic and Image of Table courtesy of Wikipedia)




Pentatomidae, Greek pente meaning five and tomos meaning section, is a family of insects that includes some of the stink bugs and shield bugs. Their antennae are 5-segmented, which gives the family its scientific name. Their bodies are usually shield-shaped. The stink bugs have thick wing covers known as shields. The name stinkbug derives from from their tendency to eject a foul-smelling substance when disturbed; the liquid containing cyanide compounds with a rancid almond scent. This is known as autohaemorrhaging, and is a form of antipredator adaptation.


(Wikipedia pic)

The table above and the picture, were the actual ones, (along with several others on Wikipedia)....cool,  the fact that one of the pics they posted was one on a screen as well...
