COINCIDENCE? WEIRD BUT TRUE...

 

 

    History Mystery

 

Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.

 

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.

John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

 

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.

John F. Kennedy was elected to President in 1960

 

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

Both Presidents were shot in the head.

 

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.

Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.

Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.

Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.

Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.

Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

 

 Now hang on to your seat.

 

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'  

                Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford.' 

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.

Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

 

And here's the kicker...  

               

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland

A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

Creepy huh?

 



 

WHO FIGURED THIS OUT?

 

1) Fold a NEW PINK
$20 bill in half...

 

2) Fold again, taking care to
fold it exactly as below                

 3) Fold the other end, exactly as before

                    4) Now, simply turn it over...                               

 What a coincidence!

 

A simple geometric fold
creates a catastrophic premonition printed on all
                            $20 bills!!!                             

COINCIDENCE? YOU DECIDE.

As if that
wasn't
enough.
Here is what
you've seen...

 

Firstly The Pentagon on fire...

 

Then The Twin Towers.  

 

..And now 

look
at this!

          

TRIPLE COINCIDENCE

ON A SIMPLE
$20 BILL

It gets even better!! 9 + 11=$20!!

This is too interesting to pass up!

A Bump in the Road



"A bump in the road" .... remember that calloused statement?

I don't know the author of this poem … received it today.  Very thought provoking and poignant. 

I do recall, however, the President referring to the Benghazi incident as "a bump in the road."  Today I heard an ex-Navy Seal being interviewed on Fox News regarding a book he has written about how to handle crisis situations in our lives.  At the end of the interview he asked if he could make a comment on Benghazi and of course the anchor said yes.  He then thanked Fox News for keeping th e Benghazi story in the news, since other news organizations are not.  He said the Seals who died deserve the public knowing the truth about the whole affair.

The poem was written by a MARINE CORPS Officer (ANON).

 

THE BATTLING BOYS OF BENGHAZI 

 

We're the battling boys of Benghazi
No fame, no glory, no paparazzi.
Just a fiery death in a blazing hell
Defending our country we loved so well. 

 

It wasn't our job, but we answered the call,
fought to the Consulate and scaled the wall.
We pulled twenty Countrymen from the jaws of fate
Led them to safety, and stood at the gate. 

 

Just the two of us, and foes by the score,
But we stood fast to bar the door.
Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied,
So we fought, and we fought, and we fought ‘til we died. 

 

We gave our all for our Uncle Sam,
But Barack Obama didn't give a damn.
Just two dead seals who carried the load
No thanks to us..........we were just "Bumps In The Road".

 

  Something has to be done with the incompetent people who literally sat there in the White House and watched the Seal’s execution on live streaming video and did absolutely nothing!   The Obama Administration must be held accountable and that will not happen unless ALL of US demand it!

 



It's That Time of Year.....Again

Aw, the Holiday Season

It will be upon us before we know it

A time of caring and sharing.......

 

GeRms



Are you ready?

Colds seem to be the worst for me.

You're sick, but not sick

enough to stop doing what you have to.

 I love to hear:

''you just have a cold''

No actually I have turned into a mouth breather!

I'm so stuffed up and congested, my nose no longer works.

It's such a joy to lay down and feel your head filling up.

You lay and wait for it to explode....

but it doesn't, at least then you'd get some relief!

So when I was asked by bzzagent to review Claritin-D for cold congestion I thought heck yeh!
A product that works hard to relieve nasal congestion
and sinus pressure, yay!

I thought Claritin was just for allergies and since I don't have 

 allergies I'd never tried it before..Now, I have never wanted to get a   cold before, and would still prefer not to.

But as they say, be careful what you wish for.

Yep,

Claritin-D ,which is found behind the pharmacy counter, advertises:

It relieves nasal and sinus congestion due to colds, as well as allergies

Provides non-drowsy relief in both 12- and 24-hour formulations

#1 pharmacist recommended adult multi-symptom allergy product

A question I wondered was what is the difference between

 Claritin and Claritin-D?

Both Claritin and Claritin-D relieve sneezing, runny nose, itchy, watery eyes and itching of the nose and throat. Claritin-D also has a decongestant to relieve nasal congestion and sinus pressure due to cold or allergy.

All I know is now I can breathe!!

*Disclosure - I was given the chance to try and review this product as a BzzCampaign through BzzAgent. I was not paid any money for this review. I was simply given the product to try. All opinions are my own.

Bible Study



"Left" and "Right"

: A little Bible study

Remember what Jesus said: 'Goats on the left,
sheep on the right'.

To Peter, 'if you want to catch fish do it from the
right side of the boat. They did and filled the boat.

Left & Right...
Origin of Left & Right...

I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the "right" and Liberals are called the "left”.

By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:
"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV)Thus sayeth the Lord. Amen.

Can't get any simpler than that.

Spelling LessonThe last four letters in American..........I Can
The last four letters in Republican........I Can
The last four letters in Democrats.........Rats

Here endeth the lesson. Test to follow in November 6, 2014. 

Remember, November is to be set aside as rodent removal month.

Best Motion Detector Security Light

 Recently I was chosen to test the

Ultra Bright Outside Security Spotlight

by Wireless Environment, LLC.

I was anxious to receive and try it.

I have tried and use several different brands

currently all around the house.

Those of you who follow my blog know why... 

I wondered if this one would be any different.

Let me tell you it is!!

First of all you can mount it anywhere, yes, anywhere!

Not just in the ground on a stake!

On the house, garage, shed

or even a tree!

This is the brightest Security Light I've tried to date,

 and believe me it seems like I've tried them all 

The Company boasts

''Mr. Beams brightest outdoor LED battery powered Spotlight with motion and light sensors. Great for security and safety for any commercial or residential property. Brightly light up warehouses, storage buildings, office parking lots, patios, decks, porches, yards, stairwells, hallways, garages, entrances/exits.''

AND it has every right to!!

With:
300 Lumins
30 foot motion detection range
It has shown me exactly what I've been looking for.

                         Solar motion sensor lights are good, but don't stay as bright as they start out as the night progresses on, which is disappointing to say the least.

I love the brightness and reliability of the Ultra Bright Outside Security Spotlight. Since it takes batteries it can be placed anywhere, not just where the sun will charge it.
No wiring or cords to run.

Hide in it a plant

 
or place it in a darker area,
endless possibilities!

And it turns itself off after 30 seconds of inactivity to save on your battery life.

How SMART is that!

I highly recommend the Ultra Bright Outside Security Spotlight and plan on purchasing enough to surround my home.

A sense of security can't be measured but can give you a good sense of relief. 



Disclosure: I received a Spotlight from Ultra Bight Outside Security Spotlight to review. All my opinions said here are my own.

Great Backyard Bird Count and Spoon-billed Sandpiper

It's nearing that time again for the Great Backyard Bird Count!!

The 17th annual GBBC takes place February 14-17, 2014.

Yes, it's early but get it marked on your calendar so there's no forgetting ;)

And be sure to get your cameras

ready to grab some great shots!

As always there is another free poster available this year to help identify the species in your area.

To hold you over here an update on the Spoon-billed Sandpiper.

"Some unexpected good news has us looking back at this 2011 video of an endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper hatching its young in Russia. The adult male in this video was recently spotted in wetlands near Shanghai. In the intervening years, this one-ounce bird has flown the 3,200 mile journey between Russia and China three times and is still going strong—a symbolic moment of tenacity and hope for this critically endangered species."

Watch the father with his chicks.

 Video includes commentary by the Cornell Lab’s Gerrit Vyn.
Filmed July 7, 2011, near Meinypilgyno, Chukotka, Russia

''Spoon-billed Sandpiper: Hatch

This piece captures the first moments of life at a windswept Spoon-billed Sandpiper nest. When the young finally hatch and emerge from the nest, after 21 days of incubation, they stumble about on well-developed legs and feet and begin to feed themselves. Females lay 4 eggs in a simple tundra nest in a shallow depression, most often in mosses, lined with a few dwarf willow leaves. Both adults incubate the nest, taking half-day shifts. The male most often incubates during the day and the female at night. After the last chick hatches, the male begins his job of leading the chicks as they grow and become independent about 20 days later. The female departs soon after hatching and begins moving south.''
