As the New year approaches, and after numerous visits to the hospital the past 6 months, I start to recall all the great times I had in my younger days.
One of my favorite memories, occurred when my family lived in Washington D.C. in Brentwood Village.
My grandparents lived on Kilbourne St, near Adams Morgan.
Every Saturday, my grandmother would go to Hellers Bakery, buy some hard rolls,and some cinnamon twist donuts , hop the bus and pay us a visit.
Although the donuts were good, what I loved the most was a hard roll, slathered with butter, and a mug of hot chocolate to dunk in-it was Heaven on Earth.
Sometimes my Aunt Carmen would stop by.
She would go to Mancusos, a nearby Italian Store and pick up some salami, provolone, capicola, tomatoes and a loaf of bread- a most excellent Saturday afternoon lunch.
Later the kids would go out to play and the adults
would spend the afternoon talking about the old days in Atlantic City and other subjects.
Those were the days of an era long gone but never forgottened.
It is good to have memories, for as long as we have memories our past can be relived, and it great to have family to remind you of the some of the good times that we may have forgotten.

Atheist, Thanksgiving, Christmas
I have a number of atheist friends. They are opposed to the displays of the Ten Commandments in public buildings, manger displays in public spaces and the words "In God We Trust" on our coins.
Yet, when it comes to the celebration of Thanksgiving and Christmas, they are fixing big meals for the family, and on Black Friday they are standing in line to buy gifts for Christmas.
If they are truly atheist, shouldn't they ignore these days and treat them as any other day.
Or are they playing the odds. Do they think that by celebrating these Christian Holidays they might just have something positive to show St. Peter when they get to the Pearly Gates.
Someone is being hypocritical. What are they going to do on Easter??

Knuckleheads in Egypt
Why do foolish Americans go to dangerous areas of the world to hike, or go to school, or visit ancient art and relics?
Previously we had the female who was kidnapped by the North Koreans, then we had three idiots who could not find any place to hike in the United States, so they decided to hike in Iraq and ended up prisoners in Iran, and now we have three knucklehead Americans who were captured by the Egyptian police for throwing bombs .
One would think that if you are attending a school in a foreign country and riots break out and the government falls it would be time to leave.
If you are in a country with Islamic leanings, and a bad record of human rights and that treats Christians as second class citizens- you should not be there in the first place.
Listen up all you knuckleheaded Americans- GET OUT NOW!!

Occupy and media bias
The dirty animals of Occupy who are turning the New York piece of parkland into a shit hole- are occupying the space illegally. They do not have a permit, tents aere illegal, grills are illegal and shitting and pissing in public is illegal.
yet the city allows this to occur.
About a year ago a group of residents sought a permit to gather at the same piece of land and protest the building of a Mosque close to the 9/11 location.
They were denied the permit.
Yet Mayor Bloomberg, the Idiot, allows these Occuping Pigs to do what they want-- where is the bias- the media will not report this and the politicians are such moral cowards they keep their mouths shut.
It is a shameful thing.

Electric Cars
I do not understand the concept of electric cars.
They get terrible mileage, they cost too much, and you have to plug them in to recharge the battery- which by the way is very expensive.
Is it a clean energy thing- well most of the electricity in this country is created from the burning of coal.- I am not opposed to coal burning, but, if everyone started using electric cars, more coal will have to be mined and burned.
If you have an electric car- imagine what your electric bill will look like when you put a car charger in your garage.
What if the whole neighborhood has electric cars, and they all plug their car in at night to recharge- can you imagine the power surge- can you imagine the blackouts when all this electricity is used at once and the grid is overloaded.
Speaking of blackouts, what if there is a blackout- how wil you charge your car- you will have to convert to the gas mode if you have a hybrid.
In Montgomery County, many of our buses and county cars are run on natural gas- good mileage, clean burning- and this country has so much natural gas that we can say good buy to the towel heads and tell them to keep their oil.
Since we will be burning less coal- we can sell the surplus to other countries. Since we will save on oil, and if our elected officials were smart we would drill for our own oil which we have plenty of- we can sell that surplus to other countries and maybe even at a cheaper price than OPEC sells it for.
Speaking of drilling our own oil- do you know the Chinese are drilling for oil 60 miles off of the Florida coast- Obama and the liberals will not allow American oil companies to drill. but do nothing to stop China from doing so- and guess what- if there is an oil spill- and it pollutes the Florida coastline- do you really think the Chinese will fund the cleanup.??
Do you really think the Chinese give a damn if they pollute our waters and kill off all water fowl and fish??
I do not think so!!
So the hell with the eletric car-- lets go natural>

Where is the media?
I am not a Rick Perry supporter- but he has a memory slip and the media is all over him- making fun of him, portraying him as an ignorant boob--yet--Obama our President- recently made the announcement that he was happy to be in Asia- hmmm- he happend to be in Hawaii his birth state- since when did Hawaii become a part of Asia-
this is the same man who thinks we have 57 states, that Austrians speak Austrian, doesn't know what a pun is, and cannot pronounce corpsman(he pronounced it corpseman.
Where is the media and their jokes about Obama.
The closest the media comes to making jokes about the White House is poking fun at the Vice President- I guess if you are Black and Liberal you are above criticism.

Beware the payday scam
If you get a phone call from the Sheriffs department from a Mark Stone stating that you in the process of being served papers for a loan that you did not take out but someone may have using your name and banking info.
Hang up and call the police. It is a scam.
If the person on the other side of the phone mentions a law firm who is handling the matter- and the name of the firm is Levitz and Stein- hang up and call the police.
Do not be fooled by your caller ID- it will display a Montgomery County or State government number-if you were to call that number back they will answer "Sheriffs Department" Ask for the perswon who called you- he does not exist- they have no idea who who are talking about.
How do I know all this- I was a victim of such a scam and lsot three hundred dollars.
Beware.
For more details- email this blog.

Becareful What You Breathe
From 1995-2000 I worked the night shift at Giant Food.When the weather becme warm someone from the office would wait until all the customers left the store- then he would walk up and down the sisle and spray CB-38 --CB-3 was an insecticide that was used to keep down the warm weather insects.
The employee would not only spray the air- but food products would be sprayed, cooking areas, food prep areas.
According to directions- these areas were to be rinsed off prior to use.They were not.
The most toxic ingredient in CB-38 was 1,1,1, trichloroethane.
This chemical could be absorbed through skin, breath and mouth.
During the years I worked the night I had frequent attacks of shortness of breath-- the doctors blames it on asthma-but I knew better.
Other employees complained- yet nothing happend.
I conyacted The City Paper, local news, Katie Couric , lawyers- no one had any interest.
I know of two employees who have died from lung related problems,others have had csncer, I am currently suffering from pulmonary fibrosis-I just started oxygen therapy.
I would like to know how many customers have suffered any side effects
If you need more info look up 1,1,1, trichloroethane.
If you know of anyone who worked for Giant or shopped and developed cancer questiion what Giants they may have shopped at- if its a Bethesda Store there might be something to look into.
But remember other GIANTS WERE ALSO INVOLVED.
