Busch Brothers Signed Up Big Time

Forget all the B.S. in the forums and Mike Helton’s effort to slow them down. The old man, Richard Petty said they were not really what sponsors are looking for. Flush that crap down the drain baby. Kyle just signed a full ride, multi-year deal with Monster Energy Drinks and brought Kurt along with him. The Big Sponsor was delighted and stated that these are the kind of guys they are looking for.

When I was a kid, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad.

I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his Biscuit, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I’ll never forget what he said: “Honey, I love burned biscuits.” Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned.

He wrapped me in his arms and said, “Your momma put in a long hard day at work today and she’s real tired. And besides… a burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!” You know, life is full of imperfect things… and imperfect people. I’m not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. What I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults and choosing to celebrate each others differences, is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. So…please pass me a biscuit. And yes, the burned one will do just fine!

Pass this along to someone who has enriched your life… I just did! Life is too short to wake up with regrets… Love the people who treat you right and forget about the ones who don’t.

Why Are Some Plants Called Weeds?

By: Tom Henricks  

 That plant is a weed.

This may sound like two minutes with Andy Rooney but I just don’t agree with this term. If a plant looks pretty and it has some quality that makes it useful, then why is it a weed?

What is a weed?

The chicory plant has a pretty little flower and some people use it to make tea. Isn’t the bright yellow flower of the dandelion similar to a marigold or some little yellow daisy? You can make wine from dandelions. That’s good isn’t it? What is grass? It just lays all over the place and looks plain old green. I guess cows can eat it. I don’t think it’s a weed but I think it acts like a weed. Grass tries to overpower everything else. If Creeping Charlie tries to do that, we call him a weed.

Do weeds have some exclusive property that we can use to define them from other plants? Are those other plants just “plants” or should we call them “non weeds”?

When my wife “weeds” the flower garden, she will constantly ask “is this a weed?” Does it really matter? My response is always the same. “If you like it – leave it there. If you don’t like it, pull it out.”

Milkweed – wow, poor plant got it right in the name. This plant with the fun little seedpod is home to the much admired Monarch Butterfly. The monarch needs this plant to survive. Children love to open the mature seed pod and blow the little parachutes all over the place. We are intent on eradicating it because it is a “weed”. I don’t know what makes it a weed.

There are some plants that I guess we can safely call a weed. Poison Ivy comes to mind first. I can’t see anything good about this plant. This one can go away forever as far as I am concerned. A couple of good doses of this plant have it on “My weed list”.

There are some very interesting names for weeds. The mouse eared chickweed. Does this really sound like a weed” It sounds like something we should see on the farm. Another similar name is “lamb’s quarters”. It belongs to the “goosefoot family” It just does not sound like a weed. More farm type plants – try “field horsetail” and “wild oats”. Sounds like they should do well together.

Don’t forget the “european frogbit.” Now you really must wonder about that name.

I like the masses of purple loosestrife I see growing in ditch banks but I guess it is a monster in disguise. It gets out of control and chokes out everything. Maybe that makes it a weed.

I guess St John’s Wort and Cypress Spurge don’t sound that good to me. Maybe I will add them to my weed list.

Now this one really makes me wonder. I looked up Common weeds of northern United states and Canada. Where is the thistle.

That mean bristly plant wasn’t to be found in the list of weeds. It must be a good plant I guess but I can’t imagine why.

I want to talk to the guy that made that list of weeds. I just don’t think he has it right!

I think I’m going to call Andy Rooney and see what he thinks of this whole weed deal. I bet he could provide a very interesting response.

I Am Not a Senior Citizen

$5.37! That’s what the kid behind the counter at Tim Horton’s said to me. I dug into my pocket and pulled out some lint and two dimes and something that used to be a Lifesaver. Having already handed the kid a five-spot, I started to head back out to the truck to grab some change when the kid with the Elmo hairdo said the worst thing anyone has ever said to me. He said, “It’s OK. I’ll just give you the senior citizen discount.”

I turned to see who he was talking to and then heard the sound of change hitting the counter in front of me. “Only $4.68″ he said cheerfully. I stood there stupified. I am 56, not even 60 yet? A mere child! Senior citizen? I took my food and walked out to the truck wondering what was wrong with Elmo. Was he blind? As I sat in the truck, my blood began to boil. Old? Me?

I’ll show him, I thought.. I opened the door and headed back inside. I strode to the counter, and there he was waiting with a smile. Before I could say a word, he held up something and jingled it in front of me, like I could be that easily distracted! What am I now? A toddler? “Dude! Can’t get too far without your car keys, eh?” I stared with utter disdain at the keys. I began to rationalize in my mind. “Leaving keys behind hardly makes a man elderly! It could happen to anyone!”

I turned and headed back to the truck. I slipped the key into the ignition, but it wouldn’t turn. What now? I checked my keys and tried another. Still nothing. That’s when I noticed the purple beads hanging from my rear view mirror. I had no purple beads hanging from my rear view mirror. Then, a few other objects came into focus. The car seat in the back seat. Happy Meal toys spread all over the floorboard. A partially eaten doughnut on the dashboard. Faster than you can say ginkgo biloba, I flew out of the alien vehicle. Moments later I was speeding out of the parking lot, relieved to finally be leaving this nightmarish stop in my life.

That is when I felt it, deep in the bowels of my stomach: hunger! My stomach growled and churned, and I reached to grab my coffee, only it was nowhere to be found. I swung the truck around, gathered my courage, and strode back into the restaurant one final time. There Elmo stood, draped in youth and black nail polish. All I could think was, “What is the world coming to?” All I could say was, “Did I leave my food and drink in here”? At this point I was ready to ask a Boy Scout to help me back to my vehicle, and then go straight home and apply for Social Assistance benefits. Elmo had no clue. I walked back out to the truck, and suddenly a young lad came up and tugged on my jeans to get my attention. He was holding up a drink and a bag. His mother explained, “I think you left this in my truck by mistake.” I took the food and drink from the little boy and sheepishly apologized. She offered these kind words: “It’s OK. My grandfather does stuff like this all the time.”

All of this is to explain how I got a ticket doing 85 in a 40. Yes, I was racing some punk kid in a Toyota Prius. And no, I told the officer, I’m not too old to be driving this fast. As I walked in the front door, my wife met me halfway down the hall. I handed her a bag of cold food and a $300 speeding ticket. I promptly sat in my rocking chair and covered up my legs with a blanky.

The good news was I had successfully found my way home.

Can Dandelion Tea Help to Treat Cancer?

CLICK HERE to Buy Dandelion Tea Products

 In 1981 3 researchers from Japan discovered that dandelion promoted anti-tumour activity. This tumour fighting property was clearly tied to the timing of the when the dandelion extract was administered. The cancer fighting properties of the dandelion plant might be related to the nutritional value of the plant. A Department of Agriculture study within the US revealed that dandelion greens offer much more vitamin A than carrots. This plant provides much more vitamin B, C, and D than numerous conventional vegetables. Vitamin A, C, and D are recognized to ward off or fight cancer.

It’s been 3 years since Joshua and Toby were shown on the first video. This is an interesting and touching follow up 3 years later. Joshua loves cats and dogs.

This video reminds me of Lee and Jaegar. The dog acts and looks just like Jaegar but he is yellow instead of black.

Canada Pensions…. 
Only in Canada
*      It is interesting to know that the federal Government of Canada allows :

• A monthly pension of : $1,890.00 to a simple refugee
• plus :                                 580.00   in social aid

                                             ==========

•  A grand total of :         $2,470.00    monthly

                                                X   12       months
                                           ========== 
                                          $28,920.00   annual income 

·         By comparison, the Old Age Pension of a senior citizen who has contributed to the development of Our Beautiful Big Country during 40 or 50 years, CANNOT receive more than :

•     Amount/month          $1,012.00    in Old Age Pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement

                                              X   12 months
                                          ============ 
                                                                        $12,144.00          annual income

•    A difference of :         $16,776.00          per year

*      Perhaps our senior citizens should ask for the Status of Refugees instead of applying for Old Age Pension.

*   Let us send this message to as many Canadians as possible, and maybe the allowance of refugee could then be reduced to $1,012.00, and that of our Canadian pensioners raised to $2,470.00 per month.     (who actually deserve it) the money that they have been paying in income taxes for 40 or 50 years,

                                          AN INCREDIBLE NONSENSE !!!
                           OUR CANADIAN SENIORS CITIZENS, DESERVE BETTER
