A July Wedding?

If everything goes as planned I am getting married next month. His name is Jim and is 57 years old.
I will get a picture tonight of him to post on here for you all to see.
He's been single for two years now vs my 7 years. I told him it may take more of me getting use to the idea that I would be married than him. But we have been talking and I think everything will be right as rain.
There is one thing that I need to do before getting married that concern getting my personal affairs together, other than that I think we would have just gotten a JP and gotten married last week. I have known him for nearly a year and Wednesday the 4th of July Jim and immediate members of his family along with Sydney and I(8 in all) are going to get together at a local Cracker Barrel-like restaurant called Ole Saw Mill Cafe for a,"Hello I am the woman marrying your father" meeting.
I will be known as Mrs. Curry for the sake of Sydney and my sanity of not having to deal with all the name changing that I would DREAD like the plague in this day and age. He seems to be OK with that as well.
Sydney has taken to him quite well and asks about Jim when he is not here. Of course my dogs greet him like they do me, licks so wet that you need a bath upon entering the doorway. Love me love my dog- so very true

My Views on "THE WAR" in Irac


September 11th was a tragic day in United States history, that goes without saying. President Bush went through The House and Congress to set up strategies on just how to approach the terrorist. Word was after voting to attack. This process according to me was entirely way too long. But then again, if I got slapped I would not be as so kind to stand there and think about slugging that person back either. Go in and kick some ass I say. Not later but now. But we waited to long, the flies were scattering around the arid landscape abroad.
The threat of National Security not only for the US but all over the globe is always present. We sat back and waited for it to happen and it did.
Whatever happened to preventive maintenance? We do it on our cars, homes, why not our country?
Where are our spies? Remember the attack on Midway Island? The Americans knew it was coming. Our military intercepted. And on 9/11 there were reports there was to be an attack on the US. It came without interception. WHY? Because the people in Congress are sitting on their butts trying to figure out where they are going to go on their next vacation?
So now our troops and contractors are around the globe. Yes, they are dying for our country to be safe in the future. We don't like our family and friends dying there.
But imagine that if we were attacked again here in the states. How many children and other civilians would be dead then? LOTS.



Now everyone is screaming,"BRING OUR TROOPS HOME." These people are the ones who never heard their parents say," If you are going to do a half ass job then don't do it at all."
I think it is now a Civil Action due to the actions that we are trying to help another country put it's government back into force. It takes years to get things like this in order when you have oppositions to overcome.
We enjoy our freedom. Let us help others to enjoy theirs.

Dinosaurs and God

Now for the next couple of posts I am going to go into taboo country; meaning in short: Religion, politics, racism and other like topics that people tend to fight over. This is MY one persons point of view.









This bad boys head is said to be 150 M I L L O N YEARS old
Now, no where in Genesis do I recall that these monsters ever roamed around with Adam and Eve. But it is obvious they were here. You do not have to see the bird to know that it pooped on the top of your head nor do you have to see a million dollars to know that exists. It just is.

I do not believe in the Big Bang Theory, I do not believe we came from wanna be upright or half bent over monkey humanoids. But I think their kind may have still existed in some small way when Adam & Eve came on board.

I have read in the Bible about a Leviathan. Most people have who read the NIV. And what about Noah and the animals? It would have been nice to have gotten a list of all creatures that boarded his giant vessel. Was the Lock Ness monster a dinosaur and was left in the Great Flood to relocate in the Scottish Isles? Who knows. And there is no mention of Big Foot either.

The Behemoth is can honestly say that I do not recall (no I am not related to Ronald Regan) reading of it in Job. I will, however look into that tonight.

I read articles all the time on different theories. Here is mine:

God said,"OK, lets start out with these little critters and see what happens." POOF A small ugly creature that resembles a mouse comes into view, only he had an armour plate like an armadillo. "Hum? Lets' get bigger."POOF in comes rhinoceros like looking animals with big teeth for tearing into whatever. Then bigger and bigger they got until he said," I don't like these things." Kind of like drawing on a black board then erasing things out to start over again. How HE did it is a hot topic too; anything from a meteor casting darkness over the earth to another flood or continental drifts that separated the land. As a Christan, What are we to believe?

Did the knights of Mid-evil times long ago really slay Puff The Magic Dragon?
Did the sailors really see giant serpents and sirens/mermaids?
And what about the fabled unicorn that little girls cherish?

I think that possibly God was sketching, erased the slate to start anew with Adam and Eve, and up till Noah's time, HE erased again, HE is sketching now but I do believe HE is ready to put the chalk down and erase again.

To Catch A Theif

This thief does not include Robert Wagner or Stefanie Powers but a pair of raccoons.
I have been setting bird seed out in my yard on a hanger pole but had put the bag on my porch. I noticed that the bag had been torn appart in several locations. Well, last night as I sat watching The Chiller Channel I heard my brass spittoon (butt can) clanking as brass will do when knocked around. I turned on the porch light to see 2 coons in the bag that held the cracked corn and sunflower seeds. I banged on the door to shoo them away. I went outside to get my trap out of the back of my pick up truck; since I never put it back after a relocation of cat #13 earlier in the week. I baited the trap with dog food and found this fuzzy monster with a bad temper this morning. Her leg is missing hair from sticking it outside the cage trying to get out.
I tell you what, this $59.99 medium cage is the best thing. I have caught sooo many cats and raccoons in it that it paid for itself the first month I bought it 3 years ago.
This is a female raccoon, she turned over on her back as I hosed her down since it is about 85 degrees outside and she was panting. She obviously had been nursing babies. My neighbor is not home to shoot the thing so I will take her to a remote location and let her go in an unpopulated area.
And one more thing, these critters STINK!


Memphis Night Life

Memphis is a great place to be on Friday nights. Walking down Beale Street listening to all the Jazz music playing, the smell of great BBQ and alcohol fill the air, horse and buggies are walking up and down the streets with newly weds and sweethearts cuddling under blankets on cool nights. Lights, Music, Action.........

Watching The Mountain

I am interested in astronomy and was link surfing to find this nice picture while looking for a space view of volcanic activity here on planet Earth. I was specifically looking for the islands developing underwater in the Hawaiian waters when I ran into this Alaskan Volcano that had a minimal eruption in May 2007

Wired For Sound............and

anything else. Who needs drugs when we have caffeine boosters. I took a few to try them out but frankly, I am afraid to. I am not caffeine sensitive and the baby factory is closed for the season. The silver is sweetened while the copper colored one I am guessing is "black". I will however, try it in the morning.


I have been nursing this watered down orange juice all night. Still lovin the labels.

It's Worth Reading the Labels




I stopped at the Pilot Truck stop in Lebanon, TN., I was going for the water when this new bottle caught my eye in the cooler. There were many different antidotes to choose from. I stood there reading the back and started to laugh. Well it said I would feel refreshed. Hummmm? Well at 3:30 in the morning I thought I would give it a try.

Apocalypto

When I was in high school I loved the Mayan and Inca's that I studied in history.

I bought this movie at Wal-Mart last week. OUTSTANDING!!!!!
Regardless what you might think of Mel Gibson, he puts out some Great movies. Here is a trailer I found on the net.

Put on your glasses to read the subtitles, but I found that most great movies have them. This movie has lots of violence and some nudity (not the bad kind though)I recommend it as a PG13 if they are mature. It is rated as an R.

Another look at Mel's point of view how it must have been..............
