American bison droppings

Idahofalls Idaho: "Dung and Dunger: a chip off the old bison Two Idaho artists have founded a company called Dung and Dunger that makes paper art from American bison droppings. Victor Bruha and Daniel Hidalgo say they plan to market their hand-made creations to tourists, KIFI-TV, Idaho Falls reported. "It's interesting because it's a local handmade product and ... A lot of tourists are looking for something that has a local flavor and by doing this we are upping the entire process -- making the paper, making the prints, selling the art work, it's all done right here," said Hidalgo. The artists say the process of making paper out of bison chips has been around for years. A single bison chip can yield 20 to 25 sheets of rustic paper that can be used for printing art. The artists said they plan to make Christmas ornaments from bison dung once the holiday season rolls around. I Live about 45min. Drive: From Idaho falls, guess I'll just have to check this out... Not sure how I feel about using paper made from animal..sh#t?...What's next human dung? Makes me think twice, about sticking paper in my mouth's next time... Yuck!!"

Iran's nuclear arms program

US-slim data on Iran:" The United States has inadequate intelligence on Iran's nuclear arms program, a U.S. commission is preparing to tell President Bush. The report is due to be given to Bush and an unclassified version to Congress March 31, but sources told The New York Times that U.S. intelligence agencies have had little success in the kinds of human spying necessary to understand Iranian decision-making. The nine-member bipartisan presidential panel, led by Laurence Silberman, a retired federal judge, and Charles Robb, a former governor and senator from Virginia, had unrestricted access to the most senior people and the most sensitive documents of the intelligence agencies during the past 14 months. The most recent statement by U.S. agencies about Iran and its weapons was an unclassified report sent to Congress in November by CIA Director Porter Goss, who said Iran continued "to vigorously pursue indigenous programs to produce nuclear, chemical and biological weapons." You know what upsets me about this more then anything is that, we have our people over their. We hear and are told that: American soldiers are safe, and our government is on top of everything to keep them safe, so they say. But then something like this comes out and it's scary, because you know inside of you their is truth in it.

U.S. hobbling German Sept. 11 trial

U.S. hobbling German Sept. 11 trial:"Hamburg : German prosecutors of a suspected al-Qaida terrorist are frustrated by U.S. testimony the suspect had little to do with the attacks of Sept.11, 2001.Moroccan-born Mounir Motassadeq is on trial in Hamburg before five judges.He is accused of more than 3,000 counts of accessory to murder and membership in a terrorist organization, namely al-Qaida. But attorney Dietrich Snell, who headed the U.S. commission's team that investigated the role of the Hamburg cell, told judges the ring-leader, Mohamed Atta, and the other Sept.11 hijackers did not develop the idea for the attacks on New York and Washington plot on their own.Rather, Snell testified, they were recruited by al-Qaida chief - Osama bin Laden during a visit to militant training camps in Afghanistan. That was a blow for prosecutors, who must prove that important elements of the conspiracy took place in Germany, the New York Times said Wednesday. Motassadeq, 31, was convicted on the charges in 2003 and sentenced to 15 years in prison, the maximum under German law. But an appeals court overturned the verdict, ruling the evidence did not justify the result." Personally I don't feel we will ever know who was truly involution in the Sept.11, attack. And if we do, it won't be while I'm still breathing. Yes someday someone will brag or tell. But that day is and will be a long time away So as far this man do we really want to be the one's who burn him at the stake! Well.....I don't feel I would want to make that call, unless I was %100 sure it was him. Or to that matter, anyone.

Ebay This

ebay:"Governor candidate uses eBay for publicity. Self-employed contractor Larry Bays, a gubernatorial candidate in Ohio, is auctioning his services as a handyman on eBay to gain publicity. "The idea came to me one evening when I got this letter from (Ohio Secretary of State and gubernatorial candidate) Kenneth Blackwell asking for donations for his campaign, said Bays, a contractor and Wayne County parks commissioner. At the same time I'm opening his letter, there was this story on the evening news about this pregnant lady who was putting her tummy on eBay and renting it out for advertisement. I thought that was a great idea, and it was exactly what I needed to do. Bidding began at $900, for chores such as painting, cleaning, carpentry and plumbing. The winning bidder gets one day a month of services during Bays first year in the governor's mansion. Oh Ya - He's a Republican." I saw this and laughed..Really should of known he was a Republican, it's all about money not what he can do to change things. Personally I think this type of ads on Ebay is stupid now was cute when the first time I heard about it but, I don't know about others but. I sure would never pay for this type of publicty least not for $900.00 min. bid

Saddam capture fiction

Public version of Saddam capture fiction:" Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: A former U.S. Marine who participated in capturing ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein said the public version of his capture was fabricated. Ex-Sgt.Nadim Abou Rabeh, of Lebanese descent, was quoted in the Saudi daily al-Medina Wednesday as saying Saddam was actually captured Friday, Dec. 12, 2003, and not the day after, as announced by the U.S. Army. "I was among the 20-man unit, including eight of Arab descent, who searched for Saddam for three days in the area of Dour near Tikrit, and we found him in a modest home in a small village and not in a hole as announced," Abou Rabeh said. "We captured him after fierce resistance during which a Marine of Sudanese origin was killed," he said. He said Saddam himself fired at them with a gun from the window of a room on the second floor. Then they shouted at him in Arabic: "You have to surrender. ...There is no point in resisting." "Later on, a military production team fabricated the film of Saddam's capture in a hole, which was in fact a deserted well," Abou Rabeh said." Does any one remember the story of Jessie James? If not well the story goes how someone caught him from the back, and shot him dead, and he went down in history as the man who shot Jessie James. Well if you read the book wrote by his family is tell a whole different story, about a man who live to a old age and died. What I'm getting at is, we as humans tend to believe what, our government tell us. Should we?

Thought this picture expressed how I was feeling to day, I was in a car accedent last night with some young girl from out of state and she just kept screaming at me how much she hated me. Well Police now say I have to take her to court and sue her to get my car fixed. so pretty upset over all of this as I have never been in a car crash before, sort of feel like God is flicking me because I did something wrong. No matter what I thought the picture said how I was feeling, hope you like it.

Gulf War illness

Newsletter:"never use Diet Coke to cook with. Heat turns the Nutri Sweet (aspartame) into methyl alcohol . It is thought that maybe all the gulf war illness could be due to the diet coke that sat in the sun and got warm. Do not heat anything sweetened with aspartame because it metabolizes into methanol, which is poison. That's why, at first, the manufacturer refused to put out any recipes for baking and cooking. Medical studies done in the past few years have shown many, many illnesses and syndromes to be connected to aspartame, neurological disorders, brain cancer and migraines were at the top of the last list I saw. I've known a number of people who had migraines and when they quit using aspartame the migraines didn't come back. Myself I will not drink any-brand of diet soda I just don't like the after taste even my doctor told me years ago stay away from them and I have."

Prostitution Placement Debated

:"How many brothels on one street make up a red light district is under debate in the Australian state of Queensland. The issue arose when the Prostitution Licensing Authority endorsed two brothels across the road from each other in Bundall on the Gold Coast, a major tourism destination. However, that prompted the state's conservative Opposition to ally with brothel owners from the Queensland Adult Business Association to call for the government to define red-light districts in the Prostitution Act. The act requires the PLA to refuse a license if the number of brothels and adult entertainment premises in an area would substantially affect the character of the area by creating a red-light district, but does not define such a district. QABA spokesman said approving multiple licenses put localities on a slippery slope to becoming true red-light districts." Okay...Would someone comment on this and clear this up for me? Personally I don't care, what someone does with their own body as long as it don't hurt anyone, and this is what they want of their free choosing. But why is it okay to sell.. Sex for money if you pay-tax's on it....This reminds me of something that happened 15yrs. Ago. I knew this couple that were on welfare, got caught up in a (Drug-Bust)...The legal system also charged: (Frauding the Grovement & Welfare Fraud) On the grounds they were working under the table and not reporting their income, and they were found guilty...Lets see this is a 50/50 chance you'll get busted any way. Remember if your collecting State $$ Funds....Make sure you report to your Social-worker your Profit's from your... DRUG or PROSTITUTION Income, don't forget to keep records of customer buys too, you'll need it for tax-time...Or Court to bail your ASS-out...LOL

Dead end Job

Weird News:"Around the year 1500"s - Old England is and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-house" and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they thought they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or was considered a "dead ringer." And that's the truth. . . (who ever said that History was boring)?" Now how would you to have to do this job? Talk about watching the dead, I've worked in some pretty dead in jobs. But never one this bad."

Surgery Follow-up

Hello everyone... Well it's been a week since my surgery went to see the Doctor, for my follow-up. He said I would live but, won't feel like it for another 30-days because of all the repairs he had to make in my ear. I have to go back in 3-weeks to have a hearing test done and also take out some more stitches, till then I now have to put these steroid drops in every two hours or 6 times a-day, to help the healing part also the drops help clean out the packing they put in stuff, they have in my ear to protect it till its all healed also said I would not hear much of anything till all the packing is out, and the tissue has healed which is normal according to him. What they did to my ear. Doctor said: Replaced the ear bone with a dead person's bone...Yuck! Did some repairs on a nerve called ( the 5th. Carnal nerve). And scraped a lot of scar tissue damage away from everything and then took a skin Graff of my muscle tissue and flatten it and made a ear drum out of it, to sew in place of the damage one. A lot of work done to a little ear huh. Well I hope it was all worth it in the end, guess I will just have to wait and see, wait that's hear..LOL Any way, wanted to thank all of you who sent me e-mail greeting of (get well cards) meant a lot to me, never knew I had so many friends...Thanks Debi

Roman stone Legendary-says Pope will live

MSNBC:" Does a stone carving in one of Rome’s biggest cathedrals know whether Pope John Paul II will survive his latest health crisis? The monument to Pope Sylvester II, who ruled the Catholic Church 1,000 years ago, is said to moisten when the death of a pontiff is imminent. On Friday, a priest touched the carving in Rome’s Basilica of Saint John Lateran and confirmed it was dry and good news for the pope, who had windpipe surgery Thursday after being rushed to the hospital with breathing problems. The pontiff is also battling Parkinson’s disease and crippling arthritis. In the sacristy of Saint John Lateran, the pope’s “second cathedral” for his role as bishop of Rome, two elderly Italian nuns in gray habits said the monument’s prophesying power was well documented. “It sweats when the death of a pope is approaching,” one of them said. They did not give their names. “The stone cries. It’s true, it has happened. There are people who have seen it,” the other nun added. Both said they did not know anyone who had witnessed the phenomenon. Peeping out from their empty confessionals under the gaze of gigantic white statues of saints, several priests said they had been unaware of the legend. Father Edoardo was at first skeptical when told about the carving, framed by two yellow marble columns. “The stone feels cold,” he said on touching the carving and columns. “But dry.” Breaking into a smile, he added, “So the pope will live.” Forgive me for saying something bad about this as I have good friends who are catholic, and mean no dis-respect to them or anyone else, that may be also catholic. But I don't know, if its a blessing, to know when someone is going to die...To me it seems all most sad as I wouldn't want a rock laying around my house, that one day said....Oh! Your mom's going to die today. I feel that would just make then hurt more when I'm gone. I accept the fact their is a stone people believe in, but why does it have to be connected to death? Why not something nicer like a New Pope will take his seat over the people, that seems more pleasant to think about right?... Least to me anyway"

Soldier-Message of love

MSNBC: "With premonition he wouldn't survive in Iraq, a GI left a video for his wife. In- Fort Benning Ga. - Before deploying earlier this year, Sergeant First Class David Salie was certain of two things: Serving in Iraq was the right thing to do and he wouldn't survive his tour. He shared that premonition with his wife weeks before he left. "He rolled over and looked at me and he said, 'D, I'm not coming back,'" recalls Deanna Salie. Sadly, David Salie's prediction came true. He was killed in a roadside bombing on Valentine's Day, just four days into his Iraq tour. His children and wife are now mourning a terrible loss. "I am a little mad at him for leaving me, because I don't know how to live without David," says Deanna. But Sgt. Salie knew one more thing, that he should tell his family how much he loved them, in a way they could never forget. "If you're seeing this, then I'm not coming home," begins a videotape Sgt. Salie made the night before he left. He secretly recorded messages for them with instructions to view the video only if he didn't return. "You're without a daddy, in person but I'm always with you. You're without a husband in person, but I'm always with you," says David on the tape. It's an eternal message of love from a husband and father to his family. There are other recordings for future milestones, like graduations and weddings I won't be there to share. But there was a bigger message for the present. "The price was worth it, in my heart," says David on the video. "What I have done was the right thing to do." Because everyone who loved David Salie knew that he believed in America and was willing to give his life fighting for Iraqi's to share American freedom. Deanna believes that too. "He sent word to a lot of the single soldiers' families," she says. "He said, 'Don't worry about your son, I'll stand in front of him.' There are a lot of little girls and little boys who are without their parents. And we're making those sacrifices to make their lives better." David's father, Jim, agrees. "My son died doing what he loved," he says. "He knew what the consequences were." There were no words for the family's sorrow, but they know David doesn't regret his sacrifice, because he said so." I had to post this and I hope you agree after reading this, yes this is a sad day for his family and wife. But he said it all in his last words...He has gone and done what he could for the future of freedom ! For all American people....He gave his life..... May he never be forgotten.............

Priest - Protestant and A Rabbi

: "It was a small town and the Catholic Priest, the Protestant Minister and the Jewish Rabbi were very good friends. Of course, there was a lot of kidding and joking between them all year long. To their surprise one year, the Priest and the Minister received a Christmas card from the Rabbi. It read: Roses are reddish, Violets are bluish When the Messiah really comes You'll wish you were Jewish." Sorry folks saw this and thought it was cute! Just a little humor. To cheer me up, and maybe you too...So if you got one better write it in the comments so we can all see it...

Scorpion

Okay...Your thinking, why did I post this? Well... I'm a Scorpion (water birth sign) and I'm always doing things in my life just because they are my character, don't make it right. But I always seem to do it...

cleanlaughs:"A scorpion, being a very poor swimmer, asked a turtle to carry him on his back across a river. "Are you mad?" exclaimed the turtle. "You'll sting me while I'm swimming and I'll drown." "My dear turtle," laughed the scorpion, "if I were to sting you, you would drown and I would go down with you. Now where is the logic in that?" "You're right!" cried the turtle. "Hop on!" The scorpion climbed aboard and halfway across the river gave the turtle a mighty sting. As they both sank to the bottom, the turtle resignedly said: "Do you mind if I ask you something? You said there'd be no logic in your stinging me. Why did you do it?" "It has nothing to do with logic," the drowning scorpion sadly replied. "It's just my character."

Operation For Me

Just thought I would let you all know I may not be posting on my Blog for a few days, as I will be going in for surgery on ear, - Wed. Feb., 23rd. Some of you that are long time readers you may remember last year in July, when I {blew my ear drum } out really bad and lost 60% of my hearing and it hurt really bad. Well I have spent the last 7-8 months trying to get it to heal, and I did get most of my hearing back but the ear never healed and I keep getting infections, and now I have a twitch in my eye from a nerve they say that runs thru the ear drum to the eye. And are going to try and repair that too! Wish me luck and, as soon as I feel better and am up and moving I will write you all and tell you how it went...Pray for me, because I am scared my last surgery didn't go to good a year ago, so I am on edge about everything till this is over....Bye For now - Coffee Talk"

Sex may be boring for - Men

:"Study indicates sex may be boring for some. A survey says 48 percent of men admit falling asleep during sex and 11 percent of women admit nodding off. Some 10,000 adults participated in the survey by Dr.Neil Stanley, director of sleep at the University of Surrey, said there's a scientific reason why men in particular are prone to the more common practice of falling asleep soon after sex. "The blood rush after climax depletes the muscles of energy-producing glycogen, leaving men feeling physically drained. Was found in the survey to have the highest number of men who fall asleep after sex, with men managing to stay awake for just three to four minutes. Men claimed to take up to 20 minutes before falling asleep. Stanley said women can avoid their partner having a nod-off by planning sex away from the bed, playing upbeat music, or videotaping the lovemaking to review afterward." Okay just to let you all know my mate of 3-4 years & I, broke-up this week-end and it was a nasty hurtful finish for me, so I am really down on men and trust so excuse me if I'm a bit bitter on my comments okay. I understand this to some length, but what if they don't like most of the stuff they suggested you do, and the bedroom is the only safe place to do the deed, because you have older-children? Anyone want to comment on this?" mine claimed he couldn't even get any there, my feelings was maybe he should of tried harder and he could of..."

Allergic To Girlfriend

:"A British man has been told by doctors he's allergic to his girlfriend's hormones and must stay away from her four days a month. The mystery began several months ago when Mr.Blaines,26 & Ms. Height,24 moved in together in Manchester. A kiss or hug would result in Blaines breaking out in a red, itchy rash or welts. After unsuccessfully trying various soaps and lotions, the pair visited Blaines doctor, who explained it was heights hormones Blaines was allergic to, and followed her 28-day cycle. The couple has reportedly adapted well to the regime, Height said it had strengthened their 18-month-old romance. Dr. Chris Lovell, Association of dermatologist, said it was "an extremely rare case, but not completely unknown. "This is rare and it is also much more common for the woman to be allergic to the man during certain times of the month,though it is also possible for the male to develop an allergy to high levels of hormones," he said." Okay I love this one because now you guys, all of you out their have a new excuse if you want to break it off with one of us women for one reason or another...I can hear the LIES NOW! I really like you but you see I went to the doctor because I had this rash since the last time we were together, and......My doctor said I am ALLERGIC to you, so for my health I can't see you anymore....LOL.....Hey wait maybe us ladies can use that line too, Honey I really care about you but your rashing my ass!!
