Kevin flew in from Colorado last night. Jimmy arrives home from Penn State tonight. I have one meeting and two work holiday parties and then I’m off until January 4. We’ll have dozens of family and friends over on Christmas eve. Last year the party didn’t end until about 2:30 am and included a drone being flown around my neighborhood by drunks. Merry Christmas!!!

Discuss Christmas?

Is that still legal?

We’ve got guests staying with us, but because the family has arrived for the holidays there’s no room for them in the house and we’ve had to make up a space for them in the barn. The weather has been pretty nice and with the animals in there as well it should be fairly warm, I just worry about the baby- it’s due any day now, but they seem to be fine with the accommodations and…

Gotta go, three Asian guys just drove up in a Subaru…

The SSS nativity Pork-O-Rama is awesome, should look really nice with the bacon ornament adorned tree posted earlier. Some of these photos are a real hoot.

Was in Publix yesterday and there were some balloons floating over the checkout but nothing else. The lack of any Christmas decorations and music was sobering.

Like admin, I’m off work until 1-4-16. Monday & Tuesday I’ll be arranging delivery of two big Christmas packages to the families we adopted. Wednesday I pick up the live lobsters and mussels that will be sacrificed for our Christmas dinner and seasoning the prime rib that will accompany them.

After Christmas I’ll be taking an Al Bundy vacation in the Fortress of Asshole-i-tude and playing it by ear.

ONE PART OF MY CHRISTMAS IS LIKE THIS:

I heard this once aired on the radio and I tracked it down. It was cited as being written by Cy N. Bahakel.
___________________________

“THE KING”

He was born 2000 years ago in a manger in Bethlehem. All history is dated by that birth.

He never owned a pillow on which to rest his head, or a house in which to sleep.

He had no publicity men, no gimmicks, no worldwide organization. Sought no fame or glory, refused all political honors, and yet he changed the world as no other person in the long history of mankind. He had no congregation, yet he typified the best ministry, in all the history of religion.

In three years he accomplished more than all the armies that ever marched on the face of the Earth. For he revolutionized the healing spirit as he healed the sick, gave hope to the downtrodden, and administered to the poor. His spirit was not like that of any man, for his was the Spirit of God.

This Christmas we commend to you the life and works of the incomparable Jesus Christ, with out whom there is no real Christmas.

A safe and Merry Christmas to all, and don’t forget your 8 year old when you go on vacation. It can be emotionally scarring.

This is the first year that it does not feel like Christmas time. At all. I’m sure a lot has to do with the abnormally warm weather, but also the constant auditory bullshit that is pumped into my skull on a daily basis by the mainstream media and their willing counterparts, the citizenry. This time of year we should be hearing fluff stories about “the hot holiday toy,” or “AAA travel estimates.” Instead this year we get Islamic terrorism, “refugees,” Paul Ryan grinching us out, whiny college students, Donald Trump is racist, Charlie Brown is racist, Darth Vader is racist, etc. Humbug.

Must be nice to be able to take TWO FUCKING WEEKS off, but then, you drones all have to answer to a BOSS!

As for me, we’ll be visiting one of the daughters up near Santa Barbara. I get to take her driver’s side door apart and install a new power window motor. It’ll be a fun-filled Xmas eve!

Sincerely, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all you ST monkees!

think I am saying goodbye all , I understand left a comment all too well , Merry Christmas

This is the BEST site I have ever participated in !

So many awesome personalities.!

So few connections in real life . Wish I was like everyone else . That is not possible , as everyone else is already taken .
I am opinionated , knowledgeable on many subjects. Actually published in scientific journals , under psuedoname, shit I cant spell and drinking homebrew , was a technical journal lol , . Changed the history of the known world , and that is factual .

That is my tradeoff , I can carry 10000 different data points and actually correlate them to the common denominater . Peeled the onion .

But I am not very well received in polite society . So many thoughts go thru my head at the same time that it is difficult to interact with others when I am finishing their sentence after 2 or 3 words.
even when their are 25 people all talking at the same time . It makes me intolerable to others .
Also why I have such a hard time typing .

Of those who have showed me the kindness of responding , whether it was positive or negative , I THANK YOU. It is awesome when someone talks to me . My history is no more special than any of the other 7 billion special snowflakes out there. Communication is something that is so elusive to me .

Of course posting this shows my absolute stupidity in interactions with other people .

Be Well all and have HOPE , for without that you will be in despair. Create your own destiny , by the will that is given to you from the Creator. The Most fundamental physics give us the ability to perceive and influence that reality .

Im just a cook , but I am happy in that title , aspire to nothing else . Passage in the Bible says worry not what you do in life ,for someone must feed the children .
GM out with regards to all )))))))))))))))))) it is 12/19/15 @ 131 am est and hail and well met , but goodbye
