Today's Tids Issue 3,437
Opening Stuff:
There
is little reason to believe anything other than that Putin
is in Syria to save Assad and eventually control the Middle East with Iraq and Iran.
This is an incredible quandary for the US..and the allies in the region. It is probably
too late to do much about it, aside from starting a World War. Putin is
probably counting on the US to do little other than talk and go through diplomatic
channels. It is a little like the Cuban missile crisis, except the decisions
should have been made 3 years ago.
So
what if I don’t know what apocalypse means? It isn’t
like it’s the end of the world.
I
see where part of the ISIS growth and stabilization strategy
is pushing for pregnancies among their people. They expect that will assure a growing
Caliphate with a secure future of more bloodthirsty citizens. So, maybe we
could send over Planned Parenthood to thwart their efforts. See, there’s a reason
for everything.
Men
with thinning hair have a new marching song: “We shall
overcomb.”
The
Question:
What do you think was the national average cost of
a Wedding last year?

I
see where Goodell’s officials took the air out of the
game last night when they clearly missed a huge and critical call with a minute
or so to go. It was obvious to all except the official who didn’t seem to understand
the “batted” ball rule. People who are concerned with the “integrity of the game”
should be looking into the commissioner’s office first.
The
Voice finished its blind rounds and all of the teams
look pretty formidable. I think Adam did quite well as did Blake. But, Pharrell
and Gwen added a couple of Country singers which is seems is always a good idea
on this program. After all, Pharrell won last year with a folk singer. Maybe I’ve
seen too many singers, but I had trouble remembering my last night’s winners
and losers this morning. The only two firmly in my mind were Dustin Christianson
and Shelby Brown. Even though not firmly affixed, I did like quite a bit Sydney
Rhame. And, I think Summer Schappell will be pleasant if she lingers. Dustin Monk
was not high on the viewer charts but I think he has potential. Everybody
including Critics liked Amy Vachal, and I will say she had a nice voice, but something
didn’t grab me. Blaine Mitchell’s voice was good to me, but he had trouble
making eye contact. Chase Kirby was dreamy, and emotional, but, will he survive
when the going gets raucous.
I’m
thinking I like the entry of Jason Chaffetz into the
Speaker race. He seems to make sense, and may be what is needed to get the House
off dead center. He could win if he makes the case that McCarthy is just
Boehner 2.
ISIS
is forgetting one thing. Succeeding generations tend to
rebel against their elders. “But Mom, all the other kids don’t like cutting off
the heads of Christians.”
Some
days you get good news and as a result it tends to
reflect a brighter mind. That is of course, if with the Tids, you can find something
bright to say.
I
wasn’t originally going to get a brain transplant,
but then I changed my mind.
I
see that Ben Bernanke is making the rounds of the talk
shows, probably in advance of a book or something. He seems to be advocating
for more intense investigations of people in big banking institutions rather
than just the institution itself. He says, as many observers I have read and know
say, that we will never end bad behavior among financial whiz bangs if the only
punishment is large fines against the companies. People need to go to jail, Bernanke
urges -- even, the sheltered bigs, who oversee
an environment of indulgence?
I
guess Patrick Kennedy is delusional after all. Over the
weekend he said that his father Ted “was the greatest Senator in the history of
America”.
What’s
with this new trend by Presidents of getting around the
USA system. First you let lawbreaking immigrants stay, and then the leader of
the country, and leaders to be, espouse avoiding the checks and balances to
satisfy their personal agenda’s. Somebiodis always tryingto lowr the bar of
resposobiity, which genrallyleas to
It
was a humorous juxtaposition last night on Wheel of
Fortune where one female contestant, a young lawyer who’s goal was to scour the
country looking for great hotdogs, stood next to another female contestant, a
nutritionist! The hot dog eater looked quite fit and healthy.
Did
you know that Steve Jobs was the son of a Syrian Political
refugee who came to New York seeking freedom from tyrannical aggression? I
wonder what he would think of Presidents going around Congress.
It
appears that a lot of Syrian refugees are Christians.
You know what happens to Christians when ISIS walks in.
There
are just too many new TV programs around right now,
and that makes it tough to get into a good routine. Let’s see, I’m having agita
over TV program clutter and Syrian refugees are sleeping in mud.
The
Parking Lot: Chapter 18 continues…
Te two
men looked relieved, especially Joseph who had been concerned that he might be
faced with fighting, and even killing his friend. The two went back to their
table where Richard brought out a stack of papers from his deerskin carrying
bag placed them on te table between them down. They sat and began discussing
the papers, many of which looked like crudely drawn maps.
Elisabeth
reached over and drew her fingers along the forearm of Jeremiah. The sudden
touch raised the hair on his arms. He turned his head to see his smiling,
beautiful friend. He clasped her hand and she moved her thigh next to his. “Maybe
we should get fresh air,” she whispered. She nodded towards the two men who
seemed deep into their more serious discussion.
There was
not a sound as the two moved effortlessly to the shoreline disappearing into a
small copse of birch trees. “I hated seeing you so quiet, so stern. I didn’t
know what to do.”
Elizabeth
put her finger to his lips to stop his talking. She stood up on her skin clad tiptoes
and kissed him gently. “I was scared for you.”
Jeremiah
felt as though his heart had jumped into his throat, He could barely breathe.
He now leaned forward and kissed her, but harder more urgently. He put his arms
around her, into the small of his back. She reached up and held him behind his
shoulders. Their bodies melted into each other. This had always been the
promise. Now it was the feeling.
The
Answer:
The down payment for a median-priced USA home is $34,305.
Last year the average cost to get hitched was $31,213 – up from $29,858 in 2013
and $26,984 in 2010.. But, brides love it and feel it is money well spent. The
most expensive place to marry is NYC with an average cost of $76,328, which is
6 times more than the lowest average cost location: Utah at $15,257. Mormon Tabernacle
Choir anybody?
Ok,
name one good reason to get married? Maybe, here’s the
answer:
