Four generations of McEntires

Aches and pains

This 70 year old man went to the doctor and told him that his left leg was hurting. After a series of test and x-rays the doctor could not find any physical condition that would cause the problem, so he told the old man it was just old age. The man replied that it was'nt old age. The doctor said the test showed nothing physically wrong, and asked why he thought it was'nt old age. The old man's reply was " there is nothing wrong with my right leg, and it's the same age as the left one."

Rain, rain go away
Little Johnny wants to play
Come again some other day

This is the day which the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Ps. 118:24
This is about the 10th day in a row that we have had rain. I'm sure that we would all like to see some sunshine. We really don't like this cold, rainy, dreary weather. But you know that not many months from now we will be complaining that it's to hot and dry. We just never seem to be satisfied with the weather. After complaining today about the weather, I thought about this verse in Psalms. This is the day that the Lord has made. We should be thankful for it. There are a lot of people that can't even get out of bed to go outside. I just thought of the old saying "I complained because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet". Let's just sit back and enjoy the day that God has made.

This morning, from a cave somewhere in Pakistan, Taliban Minister of Migration, Mohammed Omar, in retaliation for the execution of Saddam Hussein, warned the United States that if military action against Iraq continues, Taliban authorities will cut off America's supply of convenience store managers. And if this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by Dell and AOL customer service technicians and Motel 6 managers.

It's really beginning to get ugly!

This global warming is terrible. No school today, so I just sit at home all day with my sweetheart and enjoyed every second of it. Talked to Jeff this morning. He said all of the trees around his house had ice forming on them. Jason worked last night, so I haven't gotten a weather report from Athens.


There was once a snail who was sick and tired of his reputation for being so slow. He decided to get some fast wheels to make up the difference. After shopping around a while, he decided that the Datson 240-Z was the car to get. So the snail goes to the nearest Datsun dealer and says he wants to buy the 240-Z, but he wants it repainted "240-S".The dealer asks, "Why 'S'?"The snail replies, "'S' stands for snail. I want everybody who sees me roaring past to know who's driving."Well, the dealer doesn't want to lose the unique opportunity to sell a car to a snail, so he agrees to have the car repainted for a small fee.The snail gets his new car and spent the rest of his days roaring happily down the highway at top speed. And whenever anyone would see him zooming by, they'd say "Wow! Look at that S-car go!"

MY SOAPBOX FOR THE DAY

Hello I'm back.

Soapbox #1


I don't understand why we the American people, through voting, hire someone to do a job and then allow him or her to spend the time in office campainging for a higher office. I see governers and senators that will spend the next two years campainging for the office of president. I think when they are elected they should have to sign a contract, that they would either resign or wait until their term expires to run for a higher office. I worked 27 years for Dow Chem. Can you imagine if I told my supervisor that I wanted to take off 2 years, with pay, to look for another job. I'm sure that they would give me the rest of my life off without pay in order to find another job. We as voters should demand that our elected officials fullfil the job they were elected to do.
I voted for and support President Bush, but he spent the last 2 years as governor campainging for president and not doing the job he was elected to do.

Soapbox #2

Nancy Pelosi said that when the Dems. took control of the house they would begin working 5 days a week instead of 3 days a week. I'm not sure that we, as tax payers, could afford to have them to work more than 3 days a week. But back to the issue. One of the first things that the speaker did was give congress a day off to watch the national football championship game. Sounds like the old indian saying "the speaker speaks with a forked tongue". Did anyone out there get that day off, except for our overpaid congress.

O.K. Jason, and Tina that leaves only you. Get with the world of blog land. Look forward to seeing you here. A Doctor was addressing a large audience in Tampa. "The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water. But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?" After several seconds of quiet, a 75-year-old man in the front row raised his hand, and softly said, "Wedding Cake."

Well this is Thursday, Jan. 4th, 2007. The reason I made this statement is so I can get used to writing 2007. My sweetheart says she is feeling some better this morning, but she is still in quite a bit of pain.
It's another dreary winter day here in Freeport. One of those days when you dont feel like doing anything. So I won't. I did resume my school crossing guard job this morning. Only had two kids, which I was supprised to have any because it was raining.
Went to church last night. Was supprised, but happy to see Jeremy there since he has been sick. Hope you feel better today. Dad, The Old Texas Nail Bender

Well my sweetheart ( see picture) is in bed with a pulled muscle in her back. I went and got some muscle relaxer pills that the doctor called in for her. We hope that does the trick. Please keep praying for her. She said it seems to be filling some better this afternoon, but I know it is still very painful.

We are still trying to work the kinks out of my blog. That's worse than trying to work the kinks out of my hair. Ha. I will try to post again and see how it works out. Well this was our lazy day. The first day after the holidays. We did'nt accomplish anything, just like we planed. If this works I will try to post some more tomorrow. This is not a promise, like Amber do'es.

I am starting a new blog. Mom and I have had problems with my old blog being linked to hers. At times by accident I would post on hers or she would post on mine, so to correct the problem I just set up my on blog. Will post something later.
