Is Something Wrong With Me ?

There is something about this ring-tone that makes me smile.

Survival Tips

1, When roughing it in a camping or survival situation avoid cutting yourself while preparing meals by having someone else hold the meat or vegetables while you cut them.
2, High blood pressure is a problem for some, this can be solved by cutting yourself and releasing some of the pressure. Better yet have these people hold you vegetables while you cut them.
3, Bad coughs can be a problem while stalking food so take plenty of laxatives then you will be too afraid to cough.
4, Two basic survival supplies are duct tape and WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't use duct tape if it doesn't move and should use WD-40.
5, When dealing with machinery in the field if it can't be fixed with a hammer it's an electrical problem.
6, All other problems and issues can be solved with a suitable application of high explosives.

What If ?????

 Have you seen those ads on TV which say if you pay too much for cable TV things will snowball out of control ? Well what about this...................
Obama has come out and said the Supreme Court has never shot down a law congress has passed, (he is either the dumbest president ever or lying thinking we are stupid) So what if the court throws out the health care law and what if Obama says the court is out of control and needs to go and what if the extreme left wing starts to riot and protest adding to the protests on Wall Street and the Trayvon killing and what if the radicals start looting and burning and 'we the people' start to defend ourselves causing the looting and riots to increase. And what if it gets so bad Obama declares Martial Law and tries to confiscate all the guns and ammo and food supplies, and what if he suspends the elections because of the Martial Law, and what if this causes a full blown revolt of government and many military troops refuse to fight US citizens and what if UN troops have to be called in to help Hmmm.............................

Maybe this is a little far fetched and not really possible.... I mean for this to happen we would have to have a lot of well armed patriots with good supplies of food and ammo, and Obama would have to have set the stage by challenging our Constitution and legal system and the DHS would have to be well armed with lots of ammo and the government would have to be full of left wing extremists who have a history of wanting revolution dating back to the 60's and 70's and there would have to be very strict gun laws in Washington DC, LA, New York etc.so the conservatives would be unprotected and unable to fight back. There would also have to be a high percentage of Sheeple who would let the government get away with this because they relied on the government for their income. These Sheeple would have to be educated by the government making them think the government was their big brother. There would also have to be a lot of economic unrest over the whole world and a general consensus that we needed a one world government.
Obama would probably go on record saying he wanted to fundamentally transform our country as we know it. There would have to also be a majority of US troops who were devoted to up holding the Constitution and would defect thus requiring the UN to be brought in. The government would also have to have control of the media and be able to squelch those who oppose them by having control of the communications systems.
I would think Obama would have given us a hint by now of his intentions by wanting a national police force equal in strength to the military, he would have to be building strong ties with our enemies by sucking up to them apologizing for America or showing disrespect for our nation.......... Well surely this could never happen.
Disregard my last....carry on.





    

Ramblings and Welcome.

Special welcome to Destination Self Sufficiency , thanks for hitting the follow button, please be sure to swing by and check out his site.

Things are slow right now, Stephen is out of the hospital now so I guess it's time to stop being so nice to him.

I see DHS has ordered a whole bunch of ammo, I'm looking on the bright side, maybe they are going to start self defense training classes for the general public and need lots of practice ammo.

Oh well, life goes on.

Dog Catchers.

I was reading Modern Day Redneck the other day and he was talking about calling animal control. It reminded me of an experience I had a few years back.
There had been two dogs running loose and chasing my chickens, I happened to catch them after a day or so and called Animal Control to come and get them. It was about 3:30 on a Friday. They explained that they got off at 4:00 and could not get them till Monday. I told them I did not want to keep, feed and water them all weekend but they insisted that was the best they could do.
I said no problem, would they please notify 'Dead Animal Pickup' to stop by Monday and pick them up. I hung up the phone.
Animal Control was there in 15 minutes.

Who cares ?

This case over George Zimmerman shooting some thug (or any similar case for that matter) doesn't bother me too much.
 I was always taught (and taught my kids) if you hang around with thugs and act like a thug sooner or later it would catch up with you. From all we know about Trayvon Martin he was a 'gangsta' or one in the making, so it appears to have caught up with him. His mother had sent him to his fathers because she was having trouble with him so it seems he was not as innocent as they make out now.
I just believe things tend to work some ways for a reason, who knows if he had lived he may have turned into a major drug dealer, killer or thief, if not already. I think of it as a retroactive or preventative justice. Bottom line is I believe you do bad things and sooner or later you pay the price.
 I don't know all facts in this case and it appears there was blame on both sides but one thing I have learned is life is not always fair and certain actions seem to accelerate the 'unfairness'

Those of you who have kids at home should use this as a teaching moment and explain to them the dangers of hanging around and acting like this. It may seem cool to them but leads to a dead end life or death. 
It would be better to explain to your kids the dangers rather than letting them wear hoodies to school to protest like some idiot principal in Delaware did. (and we scratch out heads and wonder why the school system is broke.)

I leave you with a John Wayne quote which sums this up perfectly.

Dueling, Maybe Time To Reintroduce

I am fascinated by old customs and I think some of them might be good to bring back. Dueling was accepted in  in Europe many years ago and was  practiced in the United States till the 1840's until it became frowned upon.
Usually when one party felt they had exhausted all other means to settle an issue they would challenge the other party in a public place. The other party had the option to drop the issue and apologize or pay restitution or accept the duel.
I think this is a  idea which we seriously need to revisit, think of all the money we could save. It would stop a lot of frivolous law suits, not many people would be willing to risk death or serious injury over a fake claim. It would certainly make most people want to do the right thing instead of trying to wrangle out through legal loopholes. For example, you have a minor auto accident, it is your fault and you or you insurance company pays for the damage however the other party claims they cant work or function due to back pain, nightmares, whiplash etc. You know it is a sham because it was a bump in a parking lot for instance so you challenge them to a duel. They now have a choice either back down and publicly admit they were lying or face a duel, my bet is 99.99 % of the time they would back down. Even if you had professional duelers which you could hire to represent you they would cost a fortune and regardless of which side won the issue would be settled and no further payment would be required so another reason most would back down before it went that far.
Or lets say for example someone owes you money and they fail to pay, if challenged to a public duel almost all offenders would pay up to end the issue, if not you would get the opportunity to extract your pound of flesh, win or loose the issue would be over.
Usually in any argument between two parties one of them knows in their heart they are lying so for this reason I think this would be a wonderful system, it would save a  ton of money in law fees, insurance payments, jail over crowding and would be a excellent way to keep people honest.

Random Thoughts, Update.

Things have been hectic lately, I seriously need to get back in a groove.
 I had another talk with Stephen his frustration level is high at the moment, the doctors are not sure when he can go home and what further treatment he should have. He is ready to check him self out and he kept saying how he hated being there. I made him laugh when I told him it could be worse because Obama could be in charge of his health care, he has too many guns and survival supplies and would be considered a unnecessary member of society to get treatment. We both agreed we needed to have a long vacation. It seems now-days we get so tangled in society and business that at some point you need to say enough.

Blogger Down Update

I talked briefly with Stephen last night. He sounded good but is still in ICU. He has had 2 stints and hopes that any other issues can be corrected without surgery. He indicated that maybe they would let him go home in a few days. I passed along all the well-wishes from all of you and he said thank you very much, it meant a lot to him.
Thanks again, Duke.

Blogger Down

Just a quick note, I received a text message from Stephen's wife late last night, he was taken to the hospital with a heart attack. From what I could find out he is stable, he has had two stints and is in ICU.
 I will pass along more info when I can please keep him and his family in your prayers.
Thanks, Duke.
