PUBLIC HOUSING

MothersHeartLeave a comment

PUBLIC HOUSING:

The problem with public housing is that the residents are not the owners.
The people that live in the house did not earn the house, but were loaned the property from the true owners, the taxpayers. Because of this, the residents do not have the “pride of ownership” that comes with the hard work necessary. In fact, the opposite happens and the residents resent their benefactors because the very house is a constant reminder that they themselves did not earn the right to live in the house. They do not appreciate the value of the property and see no need to maintain or respect it in any way.

The result is the same whether you are talking about a studio apartment or a magnificent mansion full of priceless antiques. If the people who live there do not feel they earned the privilege, they will make this known through their actions. The picture below illustrates the point.

 
The Resolute Desk was built from the timbers of the HMS Resolute
and was a gift from Queen Victoria  to President Rutherford B. Hayes.
It is considered a national treasure and icon of the Presidency.

Mr. Obama, with all due respect, get your f#####g feet off our desk!

I found that usimg E-Mail alerts are helpful an for the up-to-date when I cannot be on WordPess every day.
If you do not use the subscribe (enable) to the Email Subscription – I wish you would … I find it easy… and never miss anything that comes to my

e-mail Inbox.

I might miss something when so many are posted here on WordPRESS.

I HAVE IT AND HOPE THERE ARE SOME OF YOU WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT!

Also when finding the pages I list to folllew…some of you do not have it enabled….Maybe you should!

This is just my opinion….but to me worthwhile as I check my e-mail more often than coming to WP.

With so many others things going on (with me) ((and maybe you too))
I do like to keep up with you … that is why you are on my blogroll list!

Subject: Antwerp train station 
  

This video was made in the  Antwerp , Belgium Central (Train)
Station on March 23, 2009, with no warning to the
passengers passing through the station.  
At 8:00 am a recording of Julie Andrews singing ‘Do, Re, Mi’
begins to play on the public address system.

As the bemused passengers watch in amazement, some 200 dancers
begin to appear from the crowd and station entrances.

They created this amazing stunt with just two rehearsals!

Enjoy!

Ricotta Cheese Cookies

MothersHeartLeave a comment

 

This much-loved cookie recipe is quick, easy, delicious, and pretty. You can’t go wrong!

Makes about 100

For the cookies:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
1 (15 ounce) container of ricotta cheese
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 cups all-purpose flour

For the glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
milk
sprinkles

Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix all of the cookie ingredients well until the dough sticks together into a big ball. It will be sticky. Drop by teaspoonfulls on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes or until the bottoms turn golden brown. Let cool for 1 minute and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. In a small saucepan slowly stir milk into the powdered sugar until it creates a glaze thin enough to be spread over the cookies. Stir over low heat then spread over cooled cookies. Quickly top with sprinkles.

Note: Photo donated by the American Dairy Association. Many people write to ask if there is an error in the recipe because there are no eggs. This is an eggless recipe, no eggs are required.

The Queen & Dolly Go To Heaven !!

MothersHeartLeave a comment

Queen Elizabeth
And

 Dolly Parton

 

Die on the same day and they both go
Before an Angel to find out if they’ll be admitted to Heaven.
Unfortunately, there’s only one space left that day,
So the Angel must decide which of them gets in.
The Angel asks Dolly if there’s some particular
Reason why she should go to Heaven.

Dolly takes off her top and says, ‘Look at these, they’re the most perfect breasts God ever created,
And I’m sure it will please God to be able to see them every day, for eternity.’
The Angel thanks Dolly, and asks Her Majesty the same question. The Queen takes a bottle of Perrier out of her purse, drinks it down.

 

Then, wees into a toilet and pulls the lever.

 The Angel says, ‘OK, your Majesty, you may go in.’
Dolly is outraged and asks, ‘What was that all about?
I show you two of God’s own perfect creations and you turn me down. She wees into a toilet and she gets in!
Would you explain that to me?’
‘Sorry, Dolly,’ says the Angel, ‘but even in Heaven,

Maxine poses a question………

 
Good Question!
 
 

Let me get this straight . . . .

We’re going to be “gifted” with a health care
plan we are forced to purchase and
fined if we don’t,

Which purportedly covers at least
ten million more people,
without adding a single new doctor,
but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents,

written by a committee whose chairman
says he doesn’t understand it,

passed by a Congress that didn’t read it but
exempted themselves from it,

and signed by a President who smokes,

with funding administered by a treasury chief who
didn’t pay his taxes,

for which we’ll be taxed for four years before any
benefits take effect,

by a government which has
already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare,

all to be overseen by a surgeon general
who is obese,

and financed by a country that’s broke!!!!!

‘What the hell could
possibly go wrong?’

Last night I was sitting on the sofa watching TV when I heard my  wife’s  voice from the kitchen.

“What would you like for dinner my Love?… Chicken, beef or lamb?”

 I said, “Thank you dear, I’ll have chicken.”

 She replied “You’re having soup, stupid,  I was talking to the dog.” 

 

Quote of the day

Quote of the day:
‘Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.

If you give her sperm, she’ll give you a baby.

If you give her a house, she’ll give you a home.

If you give her groceries, she’ll give you a meal.

If you give her a smile, she’ll give you her heart.

She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.’

ROSES & HANGING BASKETS

A teenage granddaughter
comes downstairs for her date
with this see-through blouse on and no bra.
Her grandmother just pitched a fit,
telling her not to dare go out like that!
The teenager tells her
‘Loosen up Grams.
These are modern times.
You gotta let your rose buds show!’
and out she goes.

The next day the teenager comes down stairs,
and the grandmother is sitting there with no top on.
The teenager wants to die.
She explains to her grandmother
that she has friends coming over
and that it is just not appropriate…..
The grandmother says,
‘Loosen up,
Sweetie.
If you can show off your rose buds,
then I can display my hanging baskets.

Her last call

MothersHeart2 Comments

Her last call was from a cell phone…..

Sometimes only a picture can get our attention!

Do you see the motorcycle?

Do you see the motorcycle?

Now do you see it?

The Honda crotch rocket rider was traveling at approximately
85 mph. The VW driver was talking on a cell phone when she
pulled out from a side street, apparently not seeing the
motorcycle. The riders reaction time was not sufficient
enough to avoid this accident.
The car had two passengers
and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them.
The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact
and landed 20 feet from where the collision took place.

All three involved (two in the car and the bike rider) were
killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at
the Motorcycle Fair by the Police and Road Safety Department..
Pass this on to car drivers or soon to be
new drivers, or new motorcycle owners
AND ESPECIALLY EVERYONE YOU KNOW WHO HAS A CELL

PHONE!!!!!
A picture is worth a thousand words.

Save a life…

Stop talking on Cell phones and Texting while  trying to drive.

The life you save may be your own….. or mine…  
 
 
 
Keep passing this on so everyone will see what can happen by using a

CELL PHONE while driving

Julie Andrews Turns 69

MothersHeart3 Comments

 
To commemorate her birthday, actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan’s Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP.
One of the musical numbers she perform ed was ‘My Favorite Things‘ from the legendary movie ‘Sound Of Music‘. Here are the lyrics she used:
> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >> > > > > > > > >
(Sing It!)-If you sing it, its especially hysterical!!!

Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Cadillacs and cataracts ,and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don’t feel so bad.

Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pad s and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin’,
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin’,
And we won’t mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.

When the joints ac he, When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I’ve had,
And then I don’t feel so bad.
