I enjoy reading your chatline text. With Bush, 'You take me as I am.' I
take offense on what
the gay activist Rosie O'Donnell said that Bush doesn't know his verb. We,
in Texas, have our
unique style of talking and walking. How insulting! Anyway, in the debate
Kerry may have the
style but Bush has more substance.

The shed we're constructing at the back of the house is almost done.

THE INTERNATIONAL POTLUCK DINNER is a kickoff to Skokie Festival of Cultures and was celebrated on October 11, Monday, three months earlier.  The kickoff in previous years was scheduled in January.  Why the change? Probably the cold weather.  Folks from different nationalities ( India, The Philippines, Turkey & the United States, of course) cooked and brought their national dishes for the guests to taste and sabor.

A Ken Burns Film

THE ROOSEVELTS:  AN INTIMATE STORY    Ken Burns and producer Paul Barnes captured the lives and times of the three great Roosevelts  -  Teddy (TR), Franklin (FDR), and Eleanor - seven-part series:

PBS   September 14 - 21,  2014

Part I    Get Action  (1858-1901)
Part 2   In the Arena  (1901-1910)
Part 3   The Fire of Life  (1910-1919)
Part 4   The Storm  (1920-1933)
Part 5   The Rising Road  (1933-1939)
Part 6   The Common Cause  (1939-1944)
Part 7   A Strong and Active Faith  (1944-1962)

I finished watching Saturday night.   I was captivated and wondered at the brave photographers (how they did that was so amazing) who shot the war and action footages that became part of the lives and times of these three historic figures and their family.  Ken Burns must have sifted through most of the footages in the historic archives.  What an excellent documentary.

THE WAR, A Ken Burns
Film

Reply

Recommend Message 1 in Discussion

From: ALTPresident1 THE WAR is another 5-star film by good-looking Producer-Director Ken Burns on PBS.  He's the ever favorite of "Downtown Girl Gloria", our ALT Treas, and mine.  She first  saw him in one of his book signings in downtown Chicago.  In fact, she's alway going to book signing in downtown Chicago including President George W. Bush when he was still campaigning as presidential candidate.  THE WAR is all about World War II.  The film as a whole is the story of soldiers who survived and spared by fate for them to tell straight and as was later on, I think, in order for us born after the war to know the unbearable sacrifices they made and did.  Folks, it cannot be even compared to what happened in Vietnam and Iraq or Afghanistan in my opinion.  The war footages were never seen before by me or anybody else I'm sure and the black and white old films were in good shape.  I even saw an old photo of my school in the Philippines, University of Santo Tomas, when it was used by the Japanese as an interment camp for the captured American soldiers, civilians and their families.  The mention of the food "lugaw" (rice and water) served to the POWs at Camp O'Donnell made me go to my kitchen the next day and cooked my favorite "lugaw" .. this time with pieces of yummy chicken instead of roaches or insects like given to those tortured and hungry Americans.  So far in my watching of the film, all Americans during World War II were united as one, not divided as Democrats or Republicans like of today, with no politics and aspiring ambitious politicians involved and mainly invested in the defeat of America to prove they were right,  Ken Burns obviously stayed away from politics of THE WAR. The film strictly portrayed the heroics of fearful American soldiers, mainly from major four American towns of Sacramento, Luverne, Mobile and Waterbury, marching on to the beaches and towns of Bataan, Guadalcanal, Anzio, and Normandy.    I've been eagerly watching THE WAR, glued to my tube, the new PBS series since Sunday, September 23.  True to PBS form, just in case you miss the early show, a rerun of the series is shown again after the run of the film.  It is a must see and never to be missed! 5th series this Sunday, September 30, 7:00 CST on PBS.

Red Skelton's Tips for a Happy Marriage for newlyweds 

...

1. Two times a week, we go to a nice restaurant, have a little
beverage,
good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays, I go on
Fridays.
2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in Ontario and mine is
in
Tucson.
3. I take my wife everywhere.....but she keeps finding her way
back.
4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our
anniversary.
"Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I
suggested the
kitchen.
5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she
shops.
6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric
bread
maker.  She said "There are too many gadgets and no place to sit
down!"
So I bought her an electric chair.
7. My wife told me the car
wasn't running well because there was water
in the carburetor. I asked where
the car was; she told me "In the lake,"
8. She got a mudpack and looked great
for two days. Then the mud fell
off.
9. She ran after the garbage truck,
yelling "Am I too late for the
garbage?" The driver said "No, jump
in!"
10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.
11. I
married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always.
12. I
haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to interrupt
her.
13.
The last fight was my fault. My wife asked "What's on the TV?" I
said
"Dust!

WalMart
Technology....

One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to
Mike, "My elbow hurts  like crazy. I guess I better see a doctor."


"Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies.
"There's a diagnostic computer down at Wal-Mart. Just give it a urine sample and
the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about it. It takes ten
seconds and costs ten dollars... a lot cheaper than a doctor."

So Joe
puts a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Wal-Mart. He deposits ten
dollars, and the computer lights up and asks for the  urine sample. He
pours the sample into the slot and waits.

Ten seconds later, the
computer ejects a printout:

"You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm
water and avoid heavy activity. It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for
shopping at Wal-Mart."

That evening while thinking how amazing this new
technology was, Joe began wondering if the computer could be fooled.

He
mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife
and daughter, and a sperm sample for good measure. Joe  hurried back to
Wal-Mart, eager to check the results.

He deposited ten dollars, poured
in his concoction, and awaited the results. The computer then prints the
following:

1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Aisle
9)
2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo.(Aisle7)

3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.
4. Your wife
is pregnant, Twins. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.
5. If you don't stop
playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better.

Thank you for
shopping at Wal-Mart

FROM THE DESK OF THE STREAKER
I still did not get around to looking for my papers on malaria.  The hopeful news is malaria maybe completely eradicated by the year 2015.  This is very good news! In the meantime, there's no prevention available but getting a mosquito net to protect oneself. After all it's impossible to kill all female anopheles mosquitoes!
