Old Pain
Hello All, I just had to share this with all of you. Living through our time, facing War and all the pain and hardship that came with it. Now i find myself having to see history repeating itself. I lost so many friends and family to that war. Not just then but over the years. It is so hard to see family members,once again, in the armed forces and going to war. My son-n-law, a strong hard working young man, joined the service a few monthes ago. When he told me i just broke down. I told him all that we went through. I can remember watching on TV, as Johnson shipped our boys out of here by the plane and ship loads. I am proud of him for wanting to stand up for our country. But it just dont stop the pain and fear. I am sure that i am not the ony one on here to face this again. I just wanted to let all of you know that no matter who you are and where you are at, you are not alone in this. My thoughts love and prayers and with all of you and i ask the same for my loved one. We were all strong then and we are all still just as strong. God Bless America and all our boys, everywhere.
Remembering Pearl Harbor
What Happened on December 7, 1941
The Pearl Harbor bombing by Japanese carrier aircraft and subs came as a complete surprise to U.S. commanders in Oahu, Hawaii the morning of December 7, 1941.
On the eve of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, most of the U.S. military installations on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, were under close watch for possible Japanese sabotage or subversion, but neither U.S. Admiral Edward Kimmel nor U.S.General Walter C. Short were prepared for an all out attack. The misjudgment would cost over 2000 lives, the destruction of the entire U.S. Pacific Fleet and scores of aircraft.
In an effort to guard Army,Navy and Marine Corps installations on Oahu, vessels and aircraft were placed close together. The eight battleships of the Pacific Fleet plus nearly a dozen other naval vessels lay tightly moored in Pearl Harbor.
Newspaper accounts of tensions between Japan and the U.S. reported that by November 27, all negotiations between the two countries abruptly halted. But the U.S. commanding officers Kimmel and Short determined that Japan's airpower was not designed for prolonged overseas attacks. Instead, the Navy expected activity from Japanese submarines. Procedures went into effect to protect U.S. planes and vessels from sabotage rather than build up defenses for a Japanese attack.
The United States was totally unprepared for the attack.
Please take a minute to honor those that lost their lives that day.

back to my weird weekend
Since it was a nasty outside weekend, I spent mine(inside) mostly Paisley style, if you catch my drift, AND I know you do. I spent most of it in my own private little "rock and roll"
world. The friends I took with me were Keef and Neil. I watched the Rolling Stone's "Shine a light", for the second time. I did not remember one thing. And, what I did remember wasn't there. I was sure Keef and Ronnie did Thru and Thru, but they didn't yesterday. They did "connected" instead. The entire thing was not as it should have been and I can't understand why. I don't think I have other Stones concerts that I confused with this.
Next was the DVD of Neil's "journey through the past". Starts with the Springfield, moves to CSN&Y, the the very beginnings of Crazy Horse. He was very young and cute and with Carrie Snodgrass at the time. Totally weird film. This was something he did in 1972. It was only put out on vinyl and cassette. I'm not sure why he's got problems with it, but he's got problems with it. I guess we all have problems. The reason I have the DVD is because it's the last disc in his boxed set.
I also learned about heavy metal. I saw a bio of Metallica and man o man those guys.......TROUBLES The lead singer was in a car accident(dui), killed his passenger and screwed the people in the car he hit. Did 2 years of time. Another member was killed when their bus spun out on black ice. Motley Crew has a history almost as bad as Metallica, but I really did not see much of them cause I ran out of interest. Well guys, that was my spacey weekend. Hope yours was as good as mine. May be back later. See ya you hippies you!

It's Going To Happen!
New Jersey Likely Next to Legalize Medical Marijuana
(Source: The Wall Street Journal)
December 1, 2009
-------
New Jersey is poised to become the next state to allow residents to use marijuana, when recommended by a doctor, for relief from serious diseases and medical conditions.
The state Senate has approved the bill and the state Assembly is expected to follow. The legislation would then head to the governor's office for his signature.
Gov. Jon Corzine, the Democrat who lost his re-election bid last month, has indicated he would sign the bill if it reaches his desk before he leaves office in January. It would likely be one of Mr. Corzine's last acts before relinquishing the job to Republican Chris Christie.
Read the entire article here.
Please show your support by contacting your elected officials and urge them to pass the Senate version of The New Jersey Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act. You can do so by going here:

Last Minute Christmas Gift
I found this on a site, instructables.com, and thought one of you handy people might like to try this. It is a Rubik's cube made of dice. First reply
disregard my previous post
The headline and one sentence are true, but it was never meant to be posted. I was on someone else's computer, they wanted to use it, so I hit print instead of cancel. I'll be back later to talk about my weird weekend.
