Time of Sharing and Caring<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Baskerville Old Face","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It is that time of year again when we all go
out looking for the perfect gifts for friends and loved ones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s all remember to stop and be thankful
for what we have be it health, wealth, family or friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We may not have all of the things we want on that
list, but even if we have only one it could be more than other people have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So let’s all try to do something, anything
this holiday that you not normally do for someone or a group.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That one selfless act of kindness could
change someone’s life this holiday season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The expression "pay it forward" is used to describe the concept
of asking the beneficiary of a good deed to repay it to others instead of to
the original benefactor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s pay it
forward this holiday season, pay it forward was not only a movie and a movement
it should be the way we live our lives, a daily philosophy and words to live
by.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Over the past few weekend my Father in law and his brother and I have spent a little extra time at the cabin on a building project, each week we try to make sure we are done by the football game and go to one of the local watering holes to watch it. We had been going to a place called <a href="http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/322/1321562/restaurant/Wisconsin/Lipsie-Pines-Tavern-Spooner" target="_blank">Lipsie Pines</a>, they had a great waitress, good drinks and excellent pizza. We went to the bar on the weekend of the final Nascar Race and to watch the football game as usual. All started off well with a Bloody Mary, the Game on the big TV and the race on a Small TV behind the bar. After the game had finished we asked for the race to be put on to the big screen so that we could watch the end of the race and order a pizza, that is where it started to all fall apart. The owner and his son and some buddies came up front and said put the game on the TV, the waitress told them we were watching the race they said we could watch it om the small TV (note there are 3 big screen TVs 4 or 5 smaller ones). the waitress told them we were going to leave and not order if they changed the channel, the owners son said bull**** we would not leave. The channel was changed and we told the waitress that we would settle up with her and we were gone. She was very nice and apologized over and over for something that was not her fault. Last weekend was final weekend of deer hunting in WI. my Father in law and his brother after all had left stayed to watch Sunday night football but not at <a href="http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/322/1321562/restaurant/Wisconsin/Lipsie-Pines-Tavern-Spooner" target="_blank">Lipsie Pines</a> but at another bar call <a href="http://www.explorewisconsin.com/spotlight/pairolakeslodge" target="_blank">Pair O Lakes Lodge</a>, the report came in that the food was good, drinks were good and they (the customer) got to watch what they wanted on the TV. </span></div>

became a rare commodity I always wanted more, more, and more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There always something to do around the house
that there was no time for little time to go to the lake or even little time to
slow down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A couple weeks ago I had my position
eliminated by my employer and now I have lots of TIME, too much time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I Know from now on I will never ask for more

I am still surprised that when people are looking for an answer, information or a video they will say that they cannot not figure this out. Then my answer is to google it and you will get the desired results, ok maybe not every time but you may be surprised how often the answers lies within Google. Case in point, my daughter (Miranda) wanted to know how to double space using the latest version of word, I was doing something at the time that she asked so I told her that I would be there in a minute. When I went to see if I could help her she said it's all good I Googled it. Now let's not tell her but if I could have not seen how to do it quickly that's what I would have done.<br />

</div><div align="left">Last weekend I went to Butch's I have been many times before, but now I would like to share my favorite with you. The one item on the menu I always get is the Steer Fillet. They say it has better marbling than the standard fillet. I am not sure if it does but for the extra couple bucks I say get it because I have never had a bad one. So if you are in Milwaukee WI stop by Butch's <a href="http://www.butchssteakhouse.com/">http://www.butchssteakhouse.com/</a></div><div align="center"><br />

I will agree that the first writer is wrong in calling people names and they do have the right to retire if they want, I will go so far to say that they have earned the right thought their service of their job. The only problem with the writers rebuttal is that they went on to say want the Governor of WI had done to union members was akin to making them slaves to the wishes of there employer. There in lies the problem you say something very smart ( people have right to do what they want without recourse) but ruin the entire article by linking anything to slavery. I am quite sure that having a job any job is not the same as being forced to leave your home against your will and work for free. We all are passionate but please read what you say before you print it because no one will listen to the good parts if the other parts offend.<br />

I think she makes some good points. I hope you will read and form your own opinions on how we fix our financial futures.<br />
<br />
Alan Simpson, Senator from Wyoming , Co-Chair of Obama's deficit commission, calls senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he compared "Social Security" to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats. <br />
<br />
August, 2010. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's a response in a letter from PATTY MYERS in Montana .. I think she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!<br />
<br />
Listen up. Direct from Ms Myers:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"Hey Alan, let's get a few things straight.. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole for FIFTY YEARS. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63). <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
3 My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero ambition losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would have made Bernie Madoff proud.. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and your ilk pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age 67. NOW, you and your shill commission is proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One, and now you morons propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because you idiots mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal money from Medicare to pay the bills. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you incompetent bastards spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt. <br />
<br />
To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "bullcrap" on your incompetence. Well, Captain Bullcrap, I have a few questions for YOU. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 50-year political career?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from the American taxpayers?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and health care benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or, as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It is you, Captain Bullcrap, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the "greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcases who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers. And for what? Votes. <br />
<br />
That's right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And you can take that to the bank, you miserable SOB.DocMastrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12837072097881563768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1226881503319260566.post-58775819863861858952011-10-17T18:02:00.000-05:002011-10-17T18:02:00.836-05:00McDonalds again Tomah WI. MonopolySo here is a little story for all my friends in BlogLand. it all started about 21 years ago I worked for McDonald's in Duluth MN and did what they called their local store marketing and the very 1st Monopoly promotion came out I worked ties with the local cable company and the car dealer for a few nice ti ins. Since that time each year when it's monopoly game time. I play it because it brings back memories. This year is no different. Each year they try to get you to buy a certain menu items and if I am going to eat food that is not very good for me then I want to max out the game pieces. This year you get extra game pieces for going large with your meal ( I guess calling it super size was a little to close to home for some of their customers ) but they take away the medium drink so you only gain two pieces. So I thought why not trade in the large cup to a medium and keep all the extra pieces. Well at first this worked fine all the McDonald's I stopped at were happy to swap the cup, until I got to Tomah WI. where I asked the same request and a manager said that I could not do that. I asked why (because the other stores had done that for me) and she said that it was in the rules that McDonald's had sent them so I wondered are they in the rules that the public gets she said no. I asked her if the rules weren't published to us (in the official rules) how could they stop my request and where do I get a copy of the rules. I was told if I contacted McDonald's that maybe they would send me the rules. So I had one final question if it was not during Monopoly could I trade in the cup from large to medium and she said of course. OK lets just process my order so I can go home. when I got my order (with the large cup) I left it on the counter and she yelled to me that I forgot my cup I answered back I don't think so. the good news is I can remove another of the McDonald's off of my list to ever stop at again.<br />

</div><div align="left"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A great thing happened this summer a company called usagain put boxes (like very large mail boxes) around town to donate clothing. Goodwill is all the way across town as many of us we box up our used clothes and wait to donate them. The usagain boxes let me drive only a half mile away and donate same day. The other day I saw something that disturbed me but first more on usagain from their website </span><a href="http://www.usagain.com/">http://www.usagain.com/</a> </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"> USAgain is a green for-profit enterprise that collects used clothes and resells them worldwide to conserve precious natural resources and greenhouse gases. We provide thousands of convenient locations across the U.S. where you can drop off your gently used clothes and shoes any time of the day, any day of the year. For the clothes you no longer use, we provide an easy, eco-friendly way to remove them from your closet! What's more, the clothes are given a second life at affordable prices for people who can't afford brand new clothes. It's a win-win-win proposition.</div><br />
<br />
Now I think their statement and use of the clothing is a great cause but back to what I saw. One afternoon I saw the usagain truck and a person emptying the box, the problem was that instead of walking the clothes over to the truck and putting them in it he was throwing the clothes into the street behind the truck. Now if you are like me I clean the clothes before I donate them and it is a mute point if they are going to thrown onto the ground before collection and as I said not just the ground but in the street. I would think that you could respect the clothes walk them to the truck and put them in it. It will for me make me think twice before I donate clothes to them. A quote I am sure I heard somewhere is <br />
<br />
<blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">"To donate is divine to see clothes thrown into the street is wrong and just makes me MAD"</span></div></blockquote>DocMastrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12837072097881563768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1226881503319260566.post-46251490617980803302011-09-16T13:39:00.001-05:002011-09-16T13:46:04.697-05:00Wash Your Hands...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPbZamNKQS4MAaSXCqGVVC0zH62glvf4ZJykT2CAi5pOLYgUWBnoG4KGXyDETGljkHs1_jFyU3Idn-CDVQwyra7MuKIDBEjdzh6ZdNHUXG2Z_c9N7F4elLudRF9wXVPF3LyQN-q2Vkd0A/s1600/wash+hands.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="116px" rba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPbZamNKQS4MAaSXCqGVVC0zH62glvf4ZJykT2CAi5pOLYgUWBnoG4KGXyDETGljkHs1_jFyU3Idn-CDVQwyra7MuKIDBEjdzh6ZdNHUXG2Z_c9N7F4elLudRF9wXVPF3LyQN-q2Vkd0A/s320/wash+hands.jpg" width="320px" /></a></div>We have all seen this Sign before and what it had always meant to me before was the restaurant was committed to not spreading <strong>GERMS.</strong> I saw sign like this the other day and the thought occurred that maybe the true purpose of the sign is that the employees can't remember to wash their hands without the <strong>SIGN</strong>.

So this year at camp they had a talent show and J.R. does what J.R. does best he tells jokes. This year his jokes of choice were Chuck Norris jokes, a sample goes as follows:<br />
<ol><li>When Chuck Norris was born the only person who cried was the doctor. NEVER slap Chuck Norris</li>
<li>If at first you don't succeed your not Chuck Norris</li>
<li>Chuck Norris once ate an entire bottle of sleeping pills, they made Him BLINK</li>
<li>Chuck Norris gives blood often, just NOT his own</li>
<li>Chuck Norris doesn't wear a watch, HE decides what time it is</li>
<li>Chuck Norris once kicked a horse in the chin, Its descendants are know today as GIRAFFES</li>
</ol>He was booed off the stage, who would have know that Chuck Norris and Band Camp Don't mix<br />

Contrary to what the some of the big talking heads have said you have not missed the opportunities that social media brings. There will always be another Train, Plane or Bus you may be behind the competition but all it take is time and hard work and you can ketch up. Here is an outline of the process you need to follow.</div><ol><li><div align="left">Do Something (the answer will never be found in not trying)</div></li>
<li><div align="left">Read a book,( Social media Reading list suggestions <a href="http://bit.ly/nXvhUk">http://bit.ly/nXvhUk</a> ) get online and search out the topics you are interested in. (there are great tutorials on line)</div></li>
<li><div align="left">Set your goals (what am I trying to accomplish) and how to measure those goals</div></li>
<li><div align="left">Choose what your going to tackle first (don't get to many projects all started at once and never finish one)</div></li>
<li><div align="left">Make sure your entities are all tied together.(working as one to complement each other)</div></li>
<li><div align="left">Worry less about the form and worry more about the function (bad spelling(see ketch up above) poor punctuation and not the prettiest web sites won't stop you from being successful)</div></li>

Even your life starts out as free with your parents footing the bill. As you grow up even the things that were free are no longer. one example is public school sports they used to be free, to maintain the freeness they started to add user fees so that if you don't want to play it's still free figure that one out. It also seems that many other services (to many to mention) start out free and then they hit you with the premium package (and we all know that there is nothing good that's not a premium). So I have a new idea so all these companies and other entities let's just start calling a duck a duck and stop selling me a duck and trying to tell I bought a goose. Or better yet stop selling me the free duck then telling me that for a small upgrade I can have the goose package.<br />

<br />
<br />
<strong>1. Geeks Are Sensitive and Loving</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
Geeks are usually sweet, sensitive, loving people with big hearts. A genuine geek is selfless, and he or she would never intentionally hurt you. A geek has been made fun of before, and he knows what it’s like to be hurt. He has a firsthand understanding of human emotions. He isn’t afraid to show his sensitive side, and can love on a deeper level because of it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>2. Geeks Have Seen It All</strong><br />
<br />
Let’s face it, geeks aren’t known for gettin some on Saturday night; however, they are known for watching Internet porn. There is a very good chance that your seemingly innocent geek guy has seen it all… online. As a result, he’s not going to think it’s strange when you want to bust out with some fun toys, some kinky movies, or even a playful friend. If he’s a gamer geek, he may even be used to role-playing, and he will probably be open to that too. Geeks have great imaginations and are very passionate. You can definitely use this to your advantage.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>3. Geeks Don’t Cheat</strong><br />
<br />
Your geek guy probably wonders how the heck he was able to get you in the first place, and he’s certainly not going to do anything to jeopardize your relationship. Besides, it takes a hell of a lot of energy and social skills to maintain an affair for any length of time. Your geek will most likely prefer to put that extra energy elsewhere, into something much more productive.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bitrebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Geeks-Are-Better-Lovers-4.jpg"><img alt="Geeks Are Good At Relationships" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-84168" height="417px" src="http://www.bitrebels.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Geeks-Are-Better-Lovers-4.jpg" title="Geeks Are Better Lovers" width="625px" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>4. Geeks Put You First</strong><br />
<br />
Loyalty is very, very important to most geeks. Once a geek loves you, unless you do something foolish to lose trust, he or she will always love you. Geeks are typically creative, and as Misty pointed out in her recent 5 Traits of Creative People article, creative people like challenges. Geeks are typically good problem solvers.<br />
Your geek will most likely want to be with you until you end it someday. He or she will put you first, and it might very well be one of the most fulfilling relationships you’ve ever had. Geek love is a special kind of love, full of child-like innocence and honesty. According to Jean Carroll, Elle magazine’s love and sex advice columnist, “A geek is an excellent provider and a guy who puts you first. He’ll turn out to be a great father and a great husband.“<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>5. Geeks Are Inherently Romantic</strong><br />
<br />
Many geeks haven’t been in a lot of relationships. Whereas the jock guy might think it’s a pain-in-the-butt to buy you roses or leave you love notes, a geek guy appreciates these opportunities and looks forward to them. I know geek girls that spend months planning the perfect Valentine’s evening for their guy. Geeks love romance and adventure, and they are always excited to make you happy with an unexpected surprise. It’s never a bother or a burden for them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>6. Geeks Have Big Brains</strong><br />
<br />
Scientists, family therapists and psychologists all agree that our brain is the most important sexual organ. We all know that geeks have big brains. Because of that, even though they are many times naive and a bit inexperienced, they have an strong sense of self-confidence. Deep down, they know they are smart and they’ve got the goods. They aren’t going to be sucking in their stomach or staring in the mirror making sure they look perfect. They are already confident with themselves, and their focus is on you. You are the very lucky king or queen in your geek’s eyes. Don’t be afraid to get involved with any of us geeks. The experience might, just might, surprise you.<br />

Another quick note is just because SOMEONE you know or work with is linked to someone else that does not mean that they should be a link of yours. Remember that the only contact that you need are ones that can be mutually beneficial. In closing the LION can always catch the slow and the weak (or people that are not careful who they add as contacts) so Don't be slow and weak.
