On FaceBorg I Read:

This is your reminder to record your mama. Record her around the kitchen, ask her why she used chicken broth instead of water, or why she does or doesn’t use velveeta and record that. Record her fussing about the same old stuff like she always does, prank her and record that. Record her funny sayings and her bits of advice. Ask her to tell you about the day you were born and record her face as she lights up remembering. Record her telling you to put some socks on that baby and when she tells y’all don’t go in her pots without washing your hands. Ask her questions, both serious and silly ones, and record her answers. Play her favorite song and when she starts dancing/singing, yep, you guessed it… record it. Make her laugh…I mean REALLY laugh and for the love of God, record that, too. And take lots of pictures of and WITH her, even when she tells you she’s not dressed for pictures. Take them anyway. Record it anyway. And when you get the chance, tell her you know she did her best with what she had and her best was always enough. And if you want, record that, too.

I hope this hits you in just the right spot and you take heed, because the day will come when there is a longing so deep to just hear her voice, her laugh, see her as she was…and when that day comes, you’ll pull out your recordings and feel just a little bit of her again

I saved all my father's emails... during his last years we bought him an Apple and he used it daily to chat with the family... precious... he got to see movies of his great grandchildren... etc etc etc

My Father and I had a Couple of Adventures during his last years... I drove him around and we explored many interesting places... including... Apollo Heights in Saratoga, California. A Subdivision that he Created... He bought the Bare Land, had water, electricity and a road built... and then he sold plots for people to build houses overlooking the Santa Clara Valley... Quite an Achievement...

Chuck Schumer's Words after the Government Funding Bill was Passed were Memorable.

Madam President, it has been a day full of twists and turns, but the American people can breathe a sigh of relief. There will be no government shutdown. Democrats have said from the start that the only solution for avoiding a shutdown is bipartisanship, and we are glad that Speaker MCCARTHY has finally heeded our message. In the end, more Democrats supported this bill in the House than Republicans, proving bipartisanship was the best answer all along. I want to thank my colleagues here in the Senate, especially our appropriators, the Presiding Officer and SUSAN COLLINS and Leader MCCONNELL. Our bipartisan work in the Senate set the tone for the bill we are about to pass. Our bipartisanship made this possible and showed the House that they had to act. We will keep the government open for 45 days with a clean CR at current funding levels, and we avoided all of the extreme, nasty, and harmful cuts MAGA Republicans wanted. No 30 percent cuts across the board; no 30 percent cuts to things like healthcare, to the Social Security Administration, to the nutrition programs for kids; full reauthorization of the FAA until December 31; and the poison pill amendments, of which there were scores—MAGA-inspired riders—were all removed from the bill. After trying to take our government hostage, MAGA Republicans won nothing. So one more time, it is good Speaker MCCARTHY finally—finally—heeded our message that bipartisanship was and is and remains the only way. He could have made this decision weeks ago. Now, I have said from day one, this is a bridge CR, a temporary solution, not the final destination. We will not stop fighting for more economic and security assistance for Ukraine. Majorities in both parties support Ukraine aid, and doing more is vital for America’s security and for democracy around the world. But this CR is still very good news for the American people. Today, MAGA extremists have failed, bipartisanship has prevailed, and both parties have come together to avert a shutdown. Once again, thank you to Leader MCCONNELL, Appropriations Chair PATTY MURRAY, Vice Chair SUSAN COLLINS, and Members on both sides of the aisle who came together. Today’s CR would not have been possible without the Senate’s good work. The Senate showed that bipartisanship was the only way, and the same will be true again in 45 days.

There has Been a LOT of Mockery of Christianity and the Rapture recently on FaceBorg... 

Joe Blow Posted:

I’ve got some questions…

So, did the rapture happen 24 separate times? Does the rapture happen at midnight GMT or midnight in Jerusalem? What if you were heading East and just missed the rapture in the eastern time zone and by the time you get to that time zone the one to the west is rapturing and you miss it, do you get a rapture Rain check? When you’re raptured do you leave your clothes or do they get raptured with you? What if your clothes were sinful but you weren’t, would your clothing hold you back? What if you got your clothes from a thrift shop and the person who originally bought the clothes was sinful? Is there a brand of soap that’s better at getting sin out of clothing over others? Do banks accept being raptured for missing a payment? What if you were on the toilet as the rapture was happening? Is there a check in Procedure in Heaven Once you’re raptured? Why don’t priests and nuns ever get raptured? Why don’t raptures ever happen on a Sunday? Does the rapture happen instantaneously or do you ascend slowly? How slowly? Can you control the assent? Can you fly around for a bit as you ascend or do you just go straight up into Heaven? What if a plane gets in the way? What if a plane is being flown by a pilot being ascended? Does the pilot drag the plane with him? Do animals get raptured? At what point do these predictions become obviously fake? Has anyone, aside from Jesus, ever actually been raptured? Would Blondie’s song “Rapture” be eligible to be raptured? When you’re being raptured, does it make any sound? As you are ascending, does it get colder as you rise in the air? What happens if you are struck by lightning while being raptured? Is there an orientation class to get familiar with Heaven once I’m raptured? Does Heaven come with a map? Let’s say that there is someone who you really don’t want to see in heaven, how would that work? Could you paint lamb’s blood over your doorway that prevents you from being raptured? Can you put lamb’s blood over the doorway of someone else’s doorway and prevent them from being raptured? Do you age in Heaven? Do you still have to brush your teeth in Heaven? Does ice cream melt in Heaven? What if you like melted ice cream, would it only melt for you in Heaven? Wait… why is Jesus coming? I thought we were going to see him?!? Wouldn’t it be better to say, we’re coming?

I’m beginning to think that this is as poorly thought out way too reward people!

and then... 

“When people ask me if a god created the universe, I tell them that the question itself makes no sense. Time didn’t exist before the big bang, so there is no time for god to make the universe in. It’s like asking directions to the edge of the earth; The Earth is a sphere; it doesn’t have an edge; so looking for it is a futile exercise. We are each free to believe what we want, and it’s my view that the simplest explanation is; there is no god. No one created our universe,and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization; There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that I am extremely grateful.”

― Stephen Hawking

Infinite Rainbow Poster

Cross made of Sacred Wafers... It's funny but I have no recollection of ever eating Blotter Paper LSD... I guess I Stopped Taking LSD before that Technique was invented... Mostly I ate Four Way Windowpane... a Square of Brown Gelatin about on tenth of an inch on a side... I used to Cut it into four pieces and eat one piece... then decide IF it was good enough quality to eat more... usually I didn't want to eat any more so I gave the rest to other people... Sometimes it was Bad Quality... made my body cramp... why? They said it was mixed with strychnine... but "They" say a Lot of Crazy Stuff...

In the event of all out Nuclear War... I'm Ready... I figure that I'm at a Ground Zero Location. Instant Death. One of the Advantages to being a Christian is The RULES for Going to Heaven After You Die. Only ONE Requirement... Really! All we have to do is Accept Jesus as our Personal Savior and YOU'RE DONE... I Did that in 1976 because I was Dating a Lady and She Wanted me to Be a Christian... I Couldn't Care Less but I Wanted Sex... and So... I Accepted Jesus... and At That Time I Really Meant it! Then After we Got Divorced, I Never Went to Church again... So I'm a Backsliding Christian... BUT... I'm Going to Heaven When I Die! Whoopee!

Another Classic Greg Drawing... Staged with Rainbow Glasses and Stuffed Animals in the Window... After I Retired I Really Got Into Smoking Marijuana and Drawing With Pens and Pencils...

I can see in the Videos unacceptable pauses as I try to Remember what I'm doing! Many Musicians love to play stoned on Marijuana but That Just Didn't Work for me... Let's see... First I Play an "E" and Then an "A" and then... uh... uh... Oh Yeah! I Play s "B7"
