THE CLINTONS:


THEY SURE KNOW HOW TO GAME THE SYSTEM!!!!
 
This is funnier than anything you can send me.... and the joke's on us!

Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York State Senator, now comes under this fancy "Congressional Retirement and Staffing Plan," which means that even if she never gets re-elected, she STILL receives her Congressional salary until she dies.. If Bill out-lives her, he then inherits HER salary until HE dies. He is already getting his Presidential salary until he dies. If Hillary out-lives Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies. Guess who pays for that? WE DO.

It's common knowledge that in order for her to establish NY residency, they purchased a million dollar-plus house in upscale Chappaqua. New York . Makes sense. They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still makes sense.

Here is where it becomes interesting. Their mortgage payments hover at around $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residence HAD to be built within the acreage to house the Secret Service agents.
The Clintons charge the Federal government $10,000 monthly rent for the use of that extra residence, which is just about equal to their mortgage payment. This means that we, the taxpayers, are Clinton 's salary, mortgage, transportation, safety and security, as well as the salaries for their 12 man staff- and, this is all perfectly legal!

(interesting, isn't it.)
When she runs for President, will you vote for her?

A Really Fun Commercial

Some say the beer commercials are the best,
others favor auto or insurance commercials. 
Don't make up your mind until you watch this one!
One of the best commercials ever...very creative and a high rate of difficulty...well done...I wonder how many takes it took to have this video perfect.

Happy Mother's Day and Happy Birthday to My Baby and Me!

Every few years we have a grand collision of Mother's Day
and Cody and my Birthday's.
It makes for quite a Grateful and Happy Day
This happens to be one of those years we celebrate
Mother's Day and Cody's Birthday....
mine not so much ;)!


 
To all you Mothers & Grandmothers ~
 
This is for the mothers who have sat up all night with sick toddlers in their arms, wiping up barf laced with Oscar Mayer wieners and cherry Kool-Aid saying, "It's alright honey, Mommy's here."

Who have sat in rocking chairs for hours on end soothing crying babies who can't be comforted.

This is for all the mothers who show up at work with spit-up in their hair and milk stains on their blouses and diapers in their purse.

For all the mothers who run carpools and make cookies and sew Halloween costumes. And all the mothers who DON'T.
 
 
This is for the mothers who gave birth to babies they'll never see. And the mothers who took those babies and gave them homes. And for the mothers who lost their baby in that precious 9 months that they will never get to watch grow on earth but one day will be reunited with in Heaven!

This is for the mothers whose priceless art collections are hanging on their refrigerator doors.

And for all the mothers who froze their buns on metal bleachers at football or soccer games instead of watching from the warmth of their cars, so that when their kids asked, "Did you see me, Mom?" they could say, "Of course, I wouldn't have missed it for the world," and mean it.

This is for all the mothers who go hungry, so their children can eat. For all the mothers who read "Goodnight, Moon" twice a night for a year. And then read it again. "Just one more time."

This is for all the mothers who taught their children to tie their shoelaces before they started school. And for all the mothers who opted for Velcro instead.

This is for all the mothers who teach their sons to cook and their daughters to sink a jump shot.

This is for every mother whose head turns automatically when a little voice calls "Mom?" in a crowd, even though they know their own offspring are at home -- or even away at college.

This is for all the mothers who sent their kids to school with stomach aches assuring them they'd be just FINE once they got there, only to get calls from the school nurse an hour later asking them to please pick them up. Right away.

This is for mothers whose children have gone astray, who can't find the words to reach them.

This is for all the step-mothers who raised another woman's child or children, and gave their time, attention, and love... sometimes totally unappreciated!

For all the mothers who bite their lips until they bleed when their 14-year-olds dye their hair green.

For all the mothers of the victims of recent school shootings, and the mothers of those who did the shooting.

For the mothers of the survivors, and the mothers who sat in front of their TVs in horror, hugging their child who just came home from school, safely.

This is for all the mothers who taught their children to be peaceful, and now pray they come home safely from a war.
This is for all the mothers we miss.
 
Happy Mother's Day Mom
 
 
I lve and miss you soooo much!
 

 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
 
Now for the best birthday present I ever received!
 
 
The baby of the family
 
 
~In Alaska~
You were a smart little guy -
throwing your bottle out the door so
Whitley would retrieve it for you!
 
 
Always a happy little guy,
even when you had to wear glasses
at such a young age.
 
 
You have such a quick whit and
 usually keep us in stitches!
 
 
You've grown up too fast

 
  my fantastic Seafood Chef
 
 

 
I am so PROUD of the man you have become ♥
and honored to call you my Son!
I love you with all my being! 
 
 
 
Happy Birthday Cody!
Happy Birthday to us!!

Bible Lesson

 
Remember what Jesus said: 'Goats on the left, sheep on the right
(Matthew 25:33).
                                                
Jesus also told Peter that if he wanted to catch fish do it from the right side of the boat.   They did and filled the boat with fish.
 
John 21:6 (NIV) ... He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." When they did, they were unable to
haul the net in because of the large number of fish."
 
Origin of Left & Right...
I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the "right"  and Liberal Socialists are called the "left".
 
By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:   Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV) - "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the
heart of the fool to the left."
Thus sayeth the Lord.   Amen.
 
It surely can't get any simpler than that.
 
Spelling Lesson :
The last four letters in American..........  I Can
The last four letters in Republican........ I Can
The last four letters in  Democrats......... Rats
 
End of lesson !  ....Test to follow on November 6, 2016 .
 
Remember,  November 2016 is to be set aside as rodent removal month.

#radhabeauty Radha Beauty Fractionated Coconut Oil Review



What is it?
Fractionated coconut oil is coconut oil that has been processed or “fractioned” to create a very shelf-stable oil. The fraction of the oil that is used is very high in saturated fat, and this product can be used in a wide variety of ways.
Coconut oil itself is extracted from the meat of the coconut.
 In pure form, coconut oil is solid at room temperature, but when refined or fractionated, it becomes liquid at room temperature.
The big advantage to fractionated coconut oil over
regular coconut oil is that it is very shelf-stable.


The most common use of fractionated coconut oil is as a carrier oil for essential oils and massageIt can also be used as an intensive face moisturizer, a very versatile oil base for making body scrubs, after shave and other body and hair care products including soap. You can even cook with it!


I like to use it for face and eye makeup remover. It leaves my skin feeling silky smooth and does not clog my pores. I also love it as a moisturizer for my hands.  Only a small amount is needed and absorbs well into the skin. When hand washing the oil doesn't wash off easily, which is perfect for us moms who seem to be constantly washing our hands.
But
my most favorite use I found for Radha Beauty Fractionated Coconut Oil  was to use it after shaving my legs. I mixed a couple of drops of Lavender Essential Oil into it and my legs were left feeling smooth and smelling lovely.

Product Description

ONLY ONE INGREDIENT - 100% Pure Fractionated Coconut Oil - No Fillers. The Highest Quality carrier oil available. 16 OUNCE BOTTLE!

ODORLESS, NON-GREASY & COLORLESS - This wonderful fractionated Oil is always Liquid, Odorless, Colorless, Non Greasy & Non Staining

BEST CARRIER OIL for Massage, Therapeutic Recipes & Essential Oils. It also has natural antioxidant and disinfecting properties and does not clog pores. It is an extremely versatile oil that can be used for making anything from bug repellent to hair serum.

VERY LONG SHELF LIFE - Does not go rancid and can also be used to prevent other oils from going rancid



Radha Beauty Fractionated Coconut Oil
 is available on Amazon

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
