Queen @ MindSay

Just for fun....here's the scenario.
We have thrown out all the politicians great and small. The US is now ruled by a King ( or Queen) with 100% complete authority and that King (or Queen) is you.
So, you now have complete control. What are some of the things you will do as ruler of the US? Small things and/or big things. Think about it. What things will you decree?
I'll get us started.
As Queen " inyourfacegrace" I will impose a flat tax system. Everyone  will pay a 15% flat tax including the church and all businesses.
All dogs and cats must be spade or neutered unless you obtain a special breeders license (and few of them are available otherwise you will be fined for everyday your in violation.
I will legalize pot. We're wasting money trying to fight it. I'll legalize it and tax it.
Marriage will be defined as two ,unrelated, consenting adults. Divorce is no longer an option so think carefully before you marry.
Ok, I got us started.
Will the next King or Queen take the throne.

(For those who haven't picked up the subtle movie references, it's "28 Days Later". But that's only for the subject line. For those who know me well, I love messages-within-messages. So a slight twist to the name of a movie, to reference the situation, and voila! Subject line. Actually, if you've seen the movie, it may make some sort of twisted sense if you try and tie it into this series of posts. Now on to the show..)

 

.....

When your love is on the run
Don't fall apart at what's begun
It's just the healing process
Of your heart

When your dream has lost it's cause
Don't waste your time in closing doors
You'll be the last to know
When love has gone

Love is on the run
Love is on the run
Love is on the run
Love is on the run from me

....

 

excerpt from "Love Is On The Run", The Moody Blues

 

....

They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is

Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares

The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me

 

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
....

 

excerpt from "Unforgiven", Metallica

 

....

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning, 'round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

The show must go on
The show must go on

....

Happy Independence Day! As I have done many years in the past, I officially can say this:

 

T-minus 5 days and counting...

A Content Management System (CMS) is exactly what is claims to be — a way to manage your website content. It is an application that is used to create, edit, manage, search, and publish various kinds of images and texts. A good CMS makes publishing and updating your website effortless. There are four main types of CMS to choose from. Look into each type thoroughly with their respective uses so that you can decide to go for what suits you best. • Enterprise CMS – used to manage and store content which are related to organizational processes. This tool allows the server to manage the unstructured information of the browsers. • Web CMS – used for generating, managing, and regulating a wide range of HTML collection. • Mobile CMS – designed to simplify the publication of content for mobile device browsers. This tool generally resizes the images and graphics to fit the screen of the mobile device being used. • Component CMS – manages content at a “component” or basic units rather than at the document level. This tool has greater accuracy and has lesser costs compared with the three others. Any of the above-mentioned CMS support any of the following features: • They have the ability to assign responsibilities to different categories. • They send messages to alert servers about content changes. • They track multiple versions of a single instance of content. • They capture content. • They publish the content to a storage area called repository to support content access. You choose carefully whatever feature it is you need for your site. Decide on which will help you best and go for it. Choosing the right CMS for you is a very challenging task but it is something you need to think of thoroughly. A CMS that is carefully planned for helps maintain the consistency of your pages’ content and creates a lasting effect on your site. With all the CMS today, wordpress has become a popular choice because it is the easiest one to use and changing its template is not as complicated as the others. But beginners are recommended to use joomla or dupral because they’re the friendliest tools for those who have no background with CMS. It has been said that CMS can transform a weak website to a profitable making entity. Don’t miss out on this opportunity and let it change your business just as it did to many others.

Growing up as a kid I've never been close to my mom's side of the family. By that I mean I rarely seen them. But now as I'm older I realize that even though I see my Dad's side of the family a few times a year, I realize I know little about them as well.

 

On Father's day, my parents and I (my brothers were working, I beleive) went to see my grandpa (dad's dad) and we stayed there longer than usual because we were talking about a recent event that went on my Mom's side of the family with him and my Aunty Lena and Uncle Paul who were there. I'm not going to say what the even was, because it's highly personal and I've been basically forbidden to talk about it to anyone other than the family.

 

But anyways, after they left we chatted for a while, and I found out my grandpa had been in the air force during WW2 in England! Growing up I got a lot of mixed signals and I thought I was told he was a chef in WW2, or a shopkeeper. But now I know the truth that he loaded planes for people-some people he knew flew bombs over Berlin. Thank god he never had to fly planes or do any bombing. Even now over 60 years later, he is absolutely against going into planes because of that.

 

After hearing this I was absoluetly astonished. I'm big into research WW1 and 2, and after watching movies such as "Flyboys" (a WW1 movie, but still) I never dreamed of someone I knew stocking planes like that. I got to say my grandpa is becomming an inspiration to me. I just wish I would have know this information even a year ago. He'll be 92 in August and although in pretty good health for his age....well, you know the rest...

 

However, he is not the only person I've gained a new appreciation for. MY aunty Cathy, who is in her early 60's, has been a part of different quires for a long time, and it turned out that one time (I'm not sure when, I'm going to have to ask her) she sang for the Queen of England with her quire! It just amazes me how little I know about the people I've grown around. I really want to learn more about them. They've accomplished so much and are still living to do even more great things for their family. I can only hope I can do a lasting favour for them.

     Let me introduce to you one of my grandaughter's. This is Sloane and she is 4 year's old. She is at the age where everything is fairy queens, princess and magic unicorn's.

She tell's me that I am her fairy queen and that I can make all the bad people be good. And that she is the fairy princess and she tell's all the kids what to do.

 

     Today we put our princess and queen tiara's on our heads and visited all the magic places. We had sword fights with dragons but we had to be very careful because they blow fire out of their mouths. We saved the baby from the dragon that would be (Nickolas the new grandbaby) He was very thankful and showed his greatfulness by smiling and gooing at us along with some leg action he kicked the dragons in there belly.

 

     We then had a tea party with with all the wee people. We had cakes, tea and onions. (it's the only thing she could find for sweets, grandma is lacking in the food area). We had so much tea and cake that we could hardly move. After the tea party was over the princess decided we needed to watch the Unicorn movie she had brought so then we sat down and watch the movie. We both needed some rest with all the fighting with the dragons. Of course we still had to wear our tiara because we were queen and princess.

 

     After the movie we ate our lunch which the princess ordered chicken strips, mac and cheese, green beans,

chocolate milk wich she finished her plate off and drink. We were so tired we took a nap and as we were laying there she decided to tell me a story. Her story was about how her daddy fought off the robot that was after her and how he stepped on it and broke the robot, How her brother was sad that his robot wasn't working anymore and that even though the robot scared her she really didn't want her daddy to break it because she wanted to play with it. At the end of the story she informed me that is was just a story and it wasn't true and that she didn't have a robot!!!.

 

     Well finally her last words were before she went to sleep was that she loved me and that she wanted to stay with her queen and how her grandma was so pretty. She wanted to kiss me good night but had informed me that she had ran out of kisses and hugs and didn't have anymore. I told her that was ok I had lots and I would give her all she wanted so she wouldn't run out of kisses and hugs for a while.

 

     Grandkids you just gotta love them. If I knew they would be this much fun I would have skipped the kids and went straight to the grandkids.
