Woke up last night with an annoying slight spree throat?
Post-nasal drip?
Cold?
Smoke irritation?
Snoring?
Who knows.
Always found that dill pickles relieved the “itch”.
Any basis for this finding?

Sorry, but this is theft! And, aggression.
I’d pull out the stops.
If I was the prosecutor, I’d indict everyone in the repossession company for not divulging the bank.
I start with asset forfeiture on everyone involved.
I’d get a dozen L3 interns to dream up causes of actions.
Add a zero or two onto the person’s actual losses as punitive.
Sorry, but I have little tolerance for this.

Subject: Defend America only. Do not manipulate or police the world.
http://www.downsizedc.org/etp/world-police/
Dear Politician:
Defend America only. Do not manipulate or police the world.
Take immediate action to prevent President Obama from launching any military action in Syria.
The President is trying to fix something that cannot be solved by outsiders dropping bombs. This will not protect innocent people. It will kill innocents. Their blood will be on the President’s hands, and on your hands, unless you use your powers to resist.
Take Sarah Pallin’s counsel: “Let Allah sort it out.”
Is it tragic? Yes. But to quote some way: “There are many problems in this world, and some of them are mine.”
Be like the Swiss: MYOB! Blessed are the peacemakers. Peacemakers don’t start wars.
Mr. Ferdinand Reinke

At Freedom Fest in July 2013, NH State Representative, Mark Warden, who is a Free State Project participant, small business owner and Realtor, was interviewed for the Future Money Trends blog. Says Warden: “The Free State Project is an amazing idea and concept that is just now coming to life.” You can read the transcript and watch the full interview

“Yeah, thanks for asking. The Free State Project is an amazing idea and concept that is just now coming to life. It’s a geopolitical movement with liberty-minded people, we could call them “small l” libertarians, some anarchists, people who really truly believe in less government, lower taxes, and more individual freedom, are moving to the state of New Hampshire. The original concept would say, “Okay let’s choose a small state that’s relatively low population,” and the original people who that committed to make this move chose New Hampshire as the destination. So eventually we’ll get 20,000 people to move. Once we have 20,000 people who have signed up, then that triggers the move, and people will start moving. However, some of us didn’t want to wait that long and we just went. So I moved from Las Vegas, Nevada six years ago, and 1,200 others have moved from all over the country and other parts of the world to New Hampshire to bring about liberty in our lifetime.”

Movin’ To the Country, Gonna Eat a Lot of Peaches
Posted by kid dynamite on August 25th, 2013
*** begin quote ***
If you’d told me that the tree fruit I’d have the most success growing in Central New Hampshire was peaches, I would have called you crazy – but you’d have been right.
While my apple trees that I planted a few years ago are looking terrible, my pear trees got destroyed by an unknown assailant, and my apricot tree went from looking-like-it-was-thriving to I-think-it’s-totally-dead in a span of 3 rainy weeks this spring, my 2 peach trees have been steady producers for the second year in a row.
*** end quote ***
Since I am going to New Hampshire soon — as soon as I can or no later than after the Free State Project gets the last of its 20k movers — and I’ve been thinking I’d like to “buy the farm”.
In a literal sense; not the military sense.
But in some respects, this will be my LAST move.
Teach, politics, and / or maybe farm.
My model will be George Washington. (Now all I need is a rich widow!)
I found this instructive since I was figuring fruit was “easy”.
Maybe pineapples?

Hasan Sentenced to Death in Fort Hood Shooting
A jury of U.S. Army officers sentenced Nidal Hasan to death for a mass shooting at Fort Hood in 2009 that ranks among the most worst soldier-on-soldier killings in the history of the nation’s military.
The sentence brings to a close a court martial in which the 42-year-old Army major offered essentially no defense to the Nov. 5, 2009, attack, in which 13 people were killed and 31 others injured. Maj. Hasan was convicted Friday of multiple counts of premeditated murder and attempted murder in connection with the shooting.
*** *** ***
Sorry but the State NEVER has the right to put anyone to death.
(I can understand the death penalty for someone who is too dangerous to incarcerate. Think Devil’s Island somewhere.)
Strategically, it’s something that can never be undone.
Tactically, it’s just not pro-life.
Plus, as an adder, isn’t this just what he wants?
Sorry, but I disagree.

How to Get Inspiring Ideas for Starting a Part-time Business
http://investorjunkie.com/30651/ideas-starting-parttime-business/
*** begin quote ***
But before getting started, any part-time business venture should work within the following parameters:
It should not conflict with your full-time job (i.e., it won’t cause you to be fired)
It shouldn’t require a lot of capital to get started
It should be within the realm of your skills, abilities and interests
You should have at least some knowledge of the profession or industry (if not, get some before you start)
It needs to be doable on a part-time basis — not all businesses are
*** end quote ***
Jason Alba of JibberJobber has the idea that the future belongs to those who can have ten part-time jobs.
Each consisting of 4 hours each on average and that generate 10% of your desired income.
He’s not ruthless about any of the numbers; just the concept.
I’ve tried that when I was consulting and it was pretty effective as long as you could keep the sales funnel full.
The hard part was doing just that.
Still, I think he is correct. Especially as I see the may employers treat employees.

are you kidding me?
Two years after Our Girl passes, I get a bill for $200 for her diagnostic care.
R U <synonym for excrement> ing me?
Sorry, but she was fully insured. (Two coverages to be exact!)
AND now for the first time I hear that I supposedly owe you money.
(Aside from that the estate was legally closed a year ago.)
Can anyone suggest what I should do?
First think that came to mind was to call and say “Who the hell are you any way?” Not like I wouldn’t recognize any of the names of her docs!!!
Argh!
I’m a peaceful fellow, but this makes me crazed!

*** end quote ***
This comes along at a perfect time. I’m been asked to speak to a group of young adults.
I guess I have fooled the inviter into thinking I have some special insight, skill or whiz dumb to impart.
Hence I guess I’ll have to do #3 until I have some sort of Epiphany?
My mantra for this is: “Networking, Burn Rate, …. and what else”.
From the pov of a fat old white guy injineer.
Argh!
I can feel the “energy” flowing now.
