My Original Basic Blog, but with occasionally enticing writing and an equally interesting point of view. My MORE ACTIVE Blog is here: https://tuneuppromos.wordpress.com
I need not seek to be recognized. I can give honor to God whether or not I’m openly appreciated by others. A Christ-first attitude can subdue any petty jealousies
or unhealthy competition.
I’m feeling thankful and searching for ways I can give back from what little I have left to give.
Connecting online with friends and family seems like a fun pastime that would enrich your life, but several studies report otherwise. Researchers at the University of Michigan found that the more time people spend on Facebook, the higher their chance of depression.
Another study, this one out of Utah Valley University, found that using Facebook can cause you to feel dissatisfied with your life. Researchers found “those who have used Facebook longer agreed more that others were happier, and agreed less that life is fair.”
Leave Facebook and you won’t compare your life with a snapshot of someone else’s.

This past May, Salami said that Iran desires a war with the United States.
“We monitor their acts day and night and will take every opportunity to set fire to all their economic and political interests if they do a wrong deed,” Brigadier General Hossein Salami, the IRGC’s lieutenant commander, was quoted as saying in Tehran on Thursday. “We have prepared ourselves for the most dangerous scenarios and this is no big deal and is simple to digest for U.S.; we welcome war with the U.S. as we do believe that it will be the scene for our success to display the real potentials of our power,” he said at the time.

This is not totally new thinking. And there is no denying that french fries are an amazing food that brings many taste sensations that top the list of our favorites. But they are somehow seen as healthier than sugar loaded dishes and even potato chips (mostly also fried) and eaten often in abundance to ‘fill’ that hole in your stomach. Why is it that we cast away common sense and indulge so heavily?
However – the wonderful creation brought by US Soldiers back to the USA after WWII from Belgium are even worse for you as once believed.
More evidence that fried food raises heart attack risk

I told myself not to weigh in on this subject because it is already gathering too many electrons – far beyond those which can actually bring progress to this existence we manage to preserve on this Earth. SO I will allow Michelle Smith Glass to express herself as a qualified female person.
Social Media Applications such as Facebook created an avenue for the average American to express their opinions on a broad canvas. Some people think they instantly transform into syndicated journalists.
But The truth Holds. You Can’t Please All of the People All of the Time and you certainly cannot create laws to regulate opinions. Or can you? Lenin and Stalin made attempts at controlling public opinion and look what it got them.
Here is a recent offering made by “conservative” users on FB. What’s the point? And was this actually made by true conservatives?
Common Sense says you cannot legislate Common Sense.
At least it looks like they’ve got enough Porta-Potties.
And while you’re at it down there, folks… Faster horses! Younger women! Older whiskey! And more money!
It’s time to gear up for G7 demonstration time. Jeepers creepers. This is going to be like Blockupy, Burning Man and Woodstock all rolled up into one! And to really give that special psychedelic touch, let’s do it in German.
The main demonstration was due to kick off at 1200 GMT in the state capital Munich, around 100 kilometres (60 miles) north of the Alpine venue where Chancellor Angela Merkel is to welcome leaders from the club of rich nations from Sunday.
Stop G7 Elmau!
Charlemagne’s Stones
The haunted stones of “Karlsteine im Hone”, a former pagan temple and burial area. A megalithic chambered tomb built sometime between 3,500 and 2,800 BC, the alleged phenomenon is said to be a result of pagan priests being killed, and their graves desecrated, by Charlemagne.
There is a legend that he broke the site’s largest altar stone with just one blow, to prove Christian beliefs were stronger than paganism.
The population of this region, as many others during Charlemagne’s reign, converted to Christianity – the alternative being death.
Charlemagne, Charles the Great, was later crowned western Europe’s first Emperor in three centuries by Pope Leo III in 800 AD, and his remains lie in Aachen cathedral, the oldest cathedral in northern Europe.

Sadly, however, he has grown weary of the corporate grind, clients’ gobble-dee-gook and all the competitive hoopla.
Scott has yearned to return to his first love of acting and entertaining his audience for years, and now–in becoming the best third member of The Don’t We Boys–he will fulfill his destiny and grow ever more powerful, assuring his plans of world domination and the dissolution of money and all governments.
