Arlington National Cemetary photos

Even though it was a sad day since I was at Arlington for the funeral of a good friend's mom, and she was 81 and had a good life I always take photos there and pay respects to all my dear friends who are buried there. Yesterday during the service a 21 gun salute was going on during our service adding an extra feeling of poignance to the service.

The horse drawn carts were there and the pristine gronds at Arlington were perfect as always

Connie is in a better place and Hello to Ken! my best friend buried there.

The North American Currency Union is a theorized economic and monetary union of the three principal countries of North America, namely Canada, the United States, and Mexico.[1]

Map of the theoretical NAU, with Canada, Mexico and the United States
Implementation would probably involve the three countries giving up their current currency units (U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar, and Mexican peso) and adopting a new one, created specifically for this purpose. The hypothetical currency for the union is most often referred to as the amero.[2][1] The concept is modeled on the common European Union currency (the euro), and it is argued to be a natural extension of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP).
Conspiracy theorists contend that the governments of the United States, Canada, and Mexico are already taking steps to implement such a currency, as part of a "North American Union (NAU)".[1] No current members of any country's government have officially stated a desire to create such a body, nor introduce a common currency as part of this concept.[3][4]

Will be taking a few days off, recooperating. :) have a small cold

Merry Christmas and Happier New Year.

Well,, I am late on my cards,, the turkey is still thawing,, place is a wreck
can't find the stockings to hang,,



no presents are wrapped.. all are in the original bag and all the receipts are lost too..



I stubbed my toe, and I have new grey hair,, all over my body now,, before it was confined to the chin area..:)





and I am built like the Snowlady now .. people used to think I had a boob job


but now that the boobs are near the waist,, all myths have been debunked





Let's see.. so what else is new....

• my piggy bank was robbed by Uncle Sugar
• all my friends are over 55 now, those who made it through the last decade:)

• Those who are still with us carry a separate briefcase to disguise the daily pill despenser and other medical devices,, diapers, oxygen, canes, or walkers as a computer devices and IPODs or a laptop. No one will notice the tubes hanging out of the briefcase,, it may be mistaken for a computer cable now that everyone has reading glasses and regular glasses; transition lenses and bi/or tri focals.

• And if it is dark enough outside it won't matter anyway, because everyone will be at home making sure the pharmicist didn't make an error on the pill count.

One a Eureka note:

Now I finally understand about Rudolf's RED NOSE lighting up the way--Santa had a serious night vision problem along with diabetes and a weight problem that is why he needed a whole TEAM of Rheindeer. yeh.

Wow, it feels so good to close to sixty so I can put all of this in perspective. :)

Love ya
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year..for real

Jihadist calls for 'YouTube Invasion'

German News: Expatica
I suscribe to this since I have family in Germany, and the EU is closer to the Jahidist and keep closer track then we do since they are easier to HIT
but I am not surprised about that---now since President ELECT Bobama actually puts his news briefs on U-Tube,, all the bad guys can follow it too!!!



04/12/2008 Jihadist calls for 'YouTube Invasion'
An Islamic extremist identifies YouTube as the 'best' way to reach Westerners and US president-elect Barack Obama

WASHINGTON -- A member of an Islamic jihadist forum has urged supporters to wage a "YouTube Invasion" by uploading propaganda videos to the popular video sharing website.

The SITE Intelligence Group, a US-based monitoring service, reported late Tuesday that the call was made last week by a member of al-Faloja: a password-protected jihadist forum, using the name Omar Abdul Hakim.

Aware that the Google owned website was watched by millions and even used by US president-elect Barack Obama, Hakim said jihadists should use YouTube "to shame the Crusaders by publishing clips of videos showing their losses."

"The members of YouTube number in the thousands of millions and most of them are the filthiest and most dangerous people on earth," Hakim wrote.

"Brothers, let us go to work and invade. I ask you, by Allah, as soon as you read this subject, to start recording on YouTube and to start cutting and uploading and posting clips on the jihadist, Islamic and general forums."

The forum member included step-by-step instructions on how to post videos on YouTube and what software to use to cut clips into 10 minute sequences.

Although YouTube's "community guidelines," state that it seeks to "encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view," it prohibits videos featuring graphic violence or hate speech.

It is not uncommon that Islamic militant groups make use of the Internet as a means to communicate and spread propaganda. A recent US Army intelligence report warned recently of the dangers behind the micro-blogging service Twitter, which is viewed as a potential tool for terrorism.
