L’Shanah Tovah,

SO, a few days back I went looking for our High Holy Day tickets and noted that they had not been received. So I sent an email to the temple figuring I had forgotten to send in my pledge form and was told they they had been mailed, and that replacements would be available at Rosh Hashanah services.

I knew onions and I didn’t get along .. but I never really took the time ot figure out why .. maybe this “Old Wives Tale” is based in fact and not fiction?

In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu.

Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it and many died.

The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. (continue reading…)

As many of you know, I have been very generous, helpful and giving in the past. Well, as of right now that is over! Unless there is a measurable return in it for ME, don’t bother asking.

For reasons I am not going to get into, the power at our home got shut off Monday. This is right after having dropped almost $200 in groceries for the family on Saturday.

The power was restored on Friday. In the middle of that time, I called many people that I KNOW could have helped me out in a pickle. All of them turned their back on me and my family. After I have helped them in the past, this really hurts.

So, since I know I cannot count on my “friends” any more (and you know who you are) I guess I am going to turn into a totally selfish SOB.

So DON’T ask for my help! It is not available. Don’t ask for my advice, because you know you are not going to consider it anyway.

Changes happen .. and this time I am happy to report a good change.

For the past week I have been busting my a$$ to secure a local driving position. Today I accepted a job that will have me home every night.

There is NOTHING more important to me than my son, and with that said, it was more important to have me home than following my dream of being a trucker .. so I have modified my goals and am trucking locally instead of all over the USA.

Shalom U’Varecha!

Dear Mr. President, I heard you say you will not guarantee SS checks if the debt ceiling isn’t raised.

Why is it the scare always has to do with SS, Medicare, & our Soldiers pay?

Why not stop your pay, your staff, or Congress and the Senate to save more money for our country?

Why use Seniors, Soldiers, & our Needy as examples?

Take the money from those who take no risks and reap the benefits!!

Instead of threatening to withhold Social Security, VA and disability payments of people who really need the money….

Lets hold the paychecks of all house & senate members, then see how fast they resolve the debt ceiling crisis!

In Texas , there is a town called New Braunfels , where there is a large
German-speaking population.

One day, a local rancher driving down a country road noticed a man using his hand to drink water from the rancher’s stock pond.

The rancher rolled down the window, and shouted, “Sehr angenehm! Trink das wasser nicht. Die kuhen haben dahin gesheissen.”

Which means: “Glad to meet you. Don’t drink the water. The cows have shit in it.”

The man shouted back, “I’m from New York , and just down here campaigning
for Obama’s health care plan. I can’t understand you. Please speak in
English.”

The rancher replied, “Use both hands. You’ll get more.”

Well .. it has been a while since my last update .. but that is ok .. No one reads this anyway.

Working for Swift .. it’s a job .. not paying much right now .. but it’s a check that I didn’t have before.

Currently sitting in the Edwardsville, KS terminal .. down until tomorrow due to lack of hours so I have updated all the things that I have not had time to do. Like CBSW’s website!

I’ve been to places like;
Norfolk, NE
Fort Atkinson, WI
Broken Bow, NE
Pleasant Prairi, WI
Napoleon, OH
York, PA
Manassas, VA
Baltimore, MD
Port Naches, TX
just to name a few.

Hopefully, they will honor my home time request .. if so .. I should be home for a couple of days on July 2nd or 3rd.

More later .. when I think about it ..

Here is a little information regarding Copy Machines built since 2002. Pay close attention children!

Well, things are starting to move forward again.

Charles’ will has been sent to the probate court.

Things have been cleaned up again around the house (still have a lot to do) and I am going back to school. I have had extensive talks with the family and we have all agreed that it is time that I take advantage of not having to be at home 24/7 and for me to get my CDL once again and go back to driving.

Plenty of options as to whether I go over-the-road (OTR) or local, but will probably be OTR or a year or so. If I have to, I can always get my passenger endorsement and drive the bus for the school system.

Put the truck in the shop last month to get a few things done .. mechanic came back with a bad report and since I have been using him exclusively for 8 years, I trust him. So I got rid of the truck and got a jeep. You can go here to see it. It has 75,000 ORIGINAL miles on it and was in a lot better condition then the newer one I looked at with almost triple the mileage!

Alex is doing good in school. He really is a good kid. I don’t have near the problems out of him that I gave Mom and Dad! I got lucky there! LOL

Picked up a new customer for my hosting business today, so even that is starting to go better. And that I can run from anywhere I have my laptop!

Anyway .. time to get off here and get some more work around the house done.

Shalom!

Alot has happened since my last update. But I am going to make this one very brief.

Many of you know that in early November I started looking after Charles Brother Wayne while he was in the hospital in Houston. Sorry to report that Wayne passed away on Dec. 21st.

Took Charles in to the ER on Dec 19th because he couldn’t keep food down. He was starting to get better. However, we found out that the Amiodarone was killing his liver. Since that is a drug that helps prevent arrhythmia’s, he was scheduled to be transferred to Methodist Hospital. However, on the 27th he started getting worse again and was again not able to hold food down.

Charles went to be with his Lord on Dec. 28th.

Because Wayne’s son was in town to handle his Dad’s affairs, and had to leave this Sunday to return to Oklahoma for work, I moved Charles Memorial service up to today so that he could attend.

It has been a very rough 2010 for the family.

Duno what I am going to do now .. I stopped working full time over a year ago so that I could take care of Charles. Guess it is time to start looking for a job again. Wish me luck.

Shalom,
JT
