Just About Over



Pretty soon we can say goodbye to 2009 and hello to 2010 and a new decade. I found myself pretty stressed out this year over many things. Of course, like most, finances was top of my list. It seems everything keeps going up but our paychecks!! Credit card companies get bail outs from our friendly government and in turn send me notices that they are raising their rates!! Once again, our workplace still has a salry freeze which means no raise again for the second year in a roll. My wife says I need to relax and trust God's guidance in our lives. 2010 brings the promise of a new year, I pray that it's a good one.

Merry Christmas To All


For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6

God Rest Ye Merry Headbangers


Ronnie James Dio has to be my favorite metal singer. To me, he is the king of metal. And when I found out from his web site that he is fighting stomach cancer, my heart sank a bit. I said a prayer for Dio and kept waiting for updates from his website. So far, things seem to be going well and He seems to be doing good with the treatments. So for a Christmas share here is a great metal Christmas compilation for you that includes Ronnie, as well as Alice Cooper, Lenny Kilmister, Dave Grohl, Joe Lynn Turner, Tommy Shaw and a host of others! Bang Your heads and enjoy...http://www.mediafire.com/?tjmoynmlknz

13 more shopping days till Christmas


Have you finished your shopping yet? Except for some odds & ends stocking stuffers for our son, we are finished! I always beathe a big sigh of relief when we finish because I get so danged stressed when we shop and me being a finacial worry-wart doesn't help matters much! How about another Christmas share? From 1963 to 1969, The Beatles did something cool and sent out little flexi disc to members of their fan club giving them Christmas greetings. Now how cool is that? Does anybody even do that anymore? Probably not. Now the 1963 to 1967 records are pretty cool and funny, they feature all 4 together larking about and having a good time. Sadly the 1968 and 1969 records see the divisions within the band and messages were recorded solo and spliced together. Nevertheless, for your listening pleasure, here are The Beatles!http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QE1JF508

Winter Wonderland


Oh, the weather outside is frightful..okay, not so much here in central Illinois. But elsewhere in Iowa and Northwestern Illinois, NOAA says "blizzard"!! Here, the forcast calls for maybe an inch of snow and a wind advisory with winds gusting up to 50 miles an hour at times. I know my truck was rocking on the way to work. And when I took our Westie out this morning, he worked very fast and scampered right back to the door!! So if You're stuck in this, my heart goes out to you. How about some great Christmas lounge music to enjoy? Steve & Eydie Gorme's "That Holiday Feeling"
