Whew ok
Purge is successfull first garage sale over .. profit . I guess you call it profit ...600 bucks .. thats alot of 50 cent items I gotta tell you. What a great couple of days for it thought I think today ... I got a sunburn. I unloaded a table a futon and my beloved recliner.
In the mean time all 17 yards of mulch is down the decking has arrived for the deck and I was able to purchase mitor saw to complete the raised gardens.
As a bonus my friend has offered me his 265 gallon fuel tank. My neighbor has a welder and I know a guy with a plasma cutter. I can smell the pig roast now. Invitations have been sent for Big Boil 2010. Big Dinner is a way for us to meet people strangers and people from afar. If we hit it off in a bar or on the street or if you are a neighbor your invited. Unplug and sit down for family style dinner with a prayer. We started with 7 people. Over the last year we have reached as many as 45. Takes some planning but you can see families having clean family fun. Stay tuned for photos.

Different things
Discovered Coconut oil. Granola is now made with weigh and coconut oil .. This means the protein count is up and the cholesterol level is down interesting all the things you find. It would seem the sacrifices we made to move faster and be more convienent have led to our multiple health conditions. No one hates tree hugging liberals more than I do but I can see now what drives there passions.
WWII forced us to abandon many things that we never went back to. More than butter and lard which it seems are better for you but also family time which we sacrifice for speed of living.

OR ......... Enough is a feast
A Message by George Carlin:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away
If you don't send this to someone you care about....Who cares?
