THE ONLY FLAG THAT DOESN'T FLY

Between the fields where the flag is planted, there are 9+ miles of flower fields that go all the way to the ocean. The flowers are grown by seed companies. It's a beautiful place, close to Vandenberg AFB. Check out the dimensions of the flag. The Floral Flag is 740 feet long and 390 feet wide and maintains the proper Flag dimensions, as described in Executive Order #10834. This Flag is 6.65 acres and is the first Floral Flag to be planted with 5 pointed Stars, comprised of White Larkspur. Each Star is 24 feet in diameter; each Stripe is 30 feet wide. This Flag is estimated to contain more than 400,000 Larkspur plants, with 4-5 flower stems each, for a total of more than 2 million flowers.

Cancel your credit card before you die..........(hilarious!)

Now some people are really stupid!!!!
Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die.

This is so priceless, and so, so easy to see happening, customer service being what it is today.

A lady died this past January, and Citibank billed her for February and March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and added late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance had been $0.00 when she died, but now somewhere around $60.00. A f amily member placed a call to Citibank.

Here is the exchange :

Family Member: 'I am calling to tell you she died back in January.'

Citibank: 'The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.'

Family Member: 'Maybe, you should turn it over to collections.'

Citibank: 'Since it is two months past due, it already has been.'

Family Mem ber: So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?'

Citibank: 'Either report her account to frauds division or report her to the credit bureau, maybe both!'

Family Member: 'Do you think God will be mad at her?'

Citibank: 'Excuse me?'
< /B>
Family Member: 'Did you just get what I was telling you - the part about her being dead?'

Citibank: 'Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor.'


Supervisor gets on the phone:

Family Member: 'I'm calling to tell you, she died back in January with a $0 b alance.'

Citibank: 'The account was never closed and late fees and charges still apply.'

Family Member: 'You mean you want to collect from her estate?'

Citibank: (Stammer) 'Are you her lawyer?'

Family Member: 'No, I'm her great nephew.' (Lawyer info was given)

Citibank: 'Could you fax us a certificate of death?'

Family Member: ' Sure.' (Fax number was given )


After they get the fax :

Citibank: 'Our system just isn't setup for death. I don't know what more I can do to help.'

Family Member: 'Well, if you figure it out, great! I f not, you could just keep billing her. She won't care.'

Citibank: 'Well, the late fees and charges will still apply.'

(What is wrong with these people?!?)

Family Member: 'Would you like her new billing address?'

Citibank: 'That might help...'

Family Member: ' Odessa Memorial Cemetery , Highway 129, Plot Number 69.'

Citibank: 'Sir, that's a cemetery!'

Family Member: 'And what do you do with dead people on your planet???'



(Priceless!!)
And you wondered why Citi is going broke and need the feds to bail them out!!

Carl's Garden



Even after living in our neighborhood for over 50 years, no one could really say they knew him very well.
Before his retirement, he took the bus to work each morning. The lone sight of him walking down the street often worried us.

He had a slight limp from a bullet wound received in WWII.

Watching him, we worried that although he had survived WWII, he may not make it through our changing uptown neighborhood with its ever-increasing random violence, gangs, and drug activity.

When he saw the flyer at our local church asking for volunteers for caring for the gardens behind the minister's residence, he responded in his characteristically unassuming manner. Without fanfare, he just signed up.

He was well into his 87th year when the very thing we had always feared finally happened.

He was just finishing his watering for the day when three gang members approached him. Ignoring their attempt to intimidate him, he simply asked, 'Would you like a drink from the hose?'

The tallest and toughest-looking of the three said, 'Yeah, sure,' with a malevolent little smile

As Carl offered the hose to him, the other two grabbed Carl's arm, throwing him down. As the hose snaked crazily over the ground, dousing everything in its way, Carl's assailants stole his retirement watch and his wallet, and then fled.

Carl tried to get himself up, but he had been thrown down on his bad leg. He lay there trying to gather himself as the minister came running to help him.

Although the minister had witnessed the attack from his window, he couldn't get there fast enough to stop it.

'Carl, are you okay? Are you hurt?' the minister kept asking as he helped Carl to his feet.

Carl just passed a hand over his brow and sighed, shaking his head. 'Just some punk kids. I hope they'll wise-up someday.'

His wet clothes clung to his slight frame as he bent to pick up the hose. He adjusted the nozzle again and started to water.

Confused and a little concerned, the minister asked, 'Carl, what are you doing?'

'I've got to finish my watering. It's been very dry lately,' came the calm reply.

Satisfying himself that Carl really was all right, the minister could only marvel. Carl was a man from a different time and place.

A few weeks later the three returned. Just as before their threat was unchallenged. Carl again offered them a drink from his hose.
This time they didn't rob him. They wrenched the hose from his hand and drenched him head to foot in the icy water.

When they had finished their humiliation of him, they sauntered off down the street, throwing catcalls and curses, falling over one another laughing at the hilarity of what they had just done.

Carl just watched them. Then he turned toward the warmth giving sun, picked up his hose, and went on with his watering.

The summer was quickly fading into fall, Carl was doing some tilling when he was startled by the sudden approach of someone behind him. He stumbled and fell into some evergreen branches.

As he struggled to regain his footing, he turned to see the tall leader of his summer tormentors reaching down for him. He braced himself for the expected attack.

'Don't worry old man, I'm not gonna hurt you this time.'

The young man spoke softly, still offering the tattooed and scarred hand to Carl. As he! helped Carl get up, the man pulled a crumpled bag from his pocket and handed it to Carl.

'What's this?' Carl asked.

'It's your stuff,' the man explained. 'It's your stuff back. Even the money in your wallet.'

'I don't understand,' Carl said. 'Why would you help me now?' The man shifted his feet, seeming embarrassed and ill at ease. 'I learned something from you,' he said. 'I ran with that gang and hurt people like you . We picked you because you were old and we knew we could do it. But every time we came and did something to you, instead of yelling and fighting back, you tried to give us a drink. You didn't hate us for hating you. You kept showing love against our hate.'

He stopped for a moment. 'I couldn't sleep after we stole your stuff, so here it is back.'

He paused for another awkward moment, not knowing what more there was to say. 'That bag's my way of saying thanks for straightening me out, I guess.' And with that, he walked off down the street.

Carl looked down at the sack in his hands and gingerly opened it. He took out his retirement watch and put it back on his wrist. Opening his wallet, he checked for his wedding photo. He gazed for a moment at the young bride who still smiled back at him from all those years ago.

He died one cold day after Christmas that winter.

Many people attended his funeral in spite of the weather. In particular the minister noticed a tall young man that he didn't know sitting quietly in a distant corner of the church.

The minister spoke of Carl's garden as a lesson in life. In a voice made thick with unshed tears, he said, 'Do your best and make your garden as beautiful as you can. We will never forget Carl and his garden.'

The following spring another flyer went up. It read: 'Person needed to care for Carl's garden..'

The flyer went unnoticed by the busy parishioners until one day when a knock was heard at the minister's office door.

Opening the door, the minister saw a pair of scarred and tattooed hands holding the flyer. 'I believe this is my job, if you'll have me,' the young man said

The minister recognized him as the same young man who had returned the stolen watch and wallet to Carl.

He knew that Carl's kindnes s had turned this man's life around. As the minister handed him the keys to the garden shed, he said, 'Yes, go take care of Carl's garden and honor him.'

The man went to work and, over the next several years, he tended the flowers and vegetables just as Carl had done..

In that time, he went to college, got married, and became a prominent member of the community. But he never forgot his promise to Carl's memory and kept the garden as beautiful as he thought Carl would have kept it.

One day he approached the new minister and told him that he couldn't care for the garden any longer. He explained with a shy and happy smile, 'My wife just had a baby boy last night, and she's bringing him home on Saturday.'

'Well, congratulations!' said the minister, as he was handed the garden shed keys. 'That's wonderful! What's the baby's name?'

'Carl,' he replied..

That's the whole gospel message simply stated.

Take 60 seconds give this a shot! Let's just see if Satan stops this one.

All you do is:

1. Simply say a small prayer for the person who sent you this. Father, God bless this person in whatever it is that You know he or
she may be needing this day!

2. Then send it on to five other people Within hours five people will have prayed for you, and you got a multitude of people to pray to God for other people.

Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life for doing the thing that you know He loves.

GOOD FRIENDS ARE LIKE ANGELS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEE THEM TO KNOW THEY ARE THERE

A teacher applicant

THE TEACHER APPLICANT ---------THIS IS A GOOD ONE.

After being interviewed by the school administration,

the teaching prospect said,

"Let me see if I've got this right:

You want me to... go into that room with all those kids,

1. correct their disruptive behavior,
2. observe them for signs of abuse,
3. monitor their dress habits,
4. censor their T-shirt messages,
5. and instill in them a love for learning.

You want me to..

6. check their backpacks for weapons,
7. wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and
8. raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride.

You want me to....

9. teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and
fair play, and
10. how to register to vote,
11. balance a checkbook, and
12. apply for a job.

You want me to....

13. check their heads for lice,
14. recognize signs of anti-social behavior, and
15. make sure that they all pass the state exams.
You also want me to....
16. provide them with an equal education regardless of their
handicaps, and
17. communicate regularly with their parents in English and Spanish
by letter, telephone, conferences, email, homework hotline, web
page, midterm newsletters, and report card.

You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a
bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps.

You want me to do all this and then you tell me......

"I CAN'T PRAY?"

Are you nuts!

Read only if you
have time for God
Let me
tell you, make sure you read all the way to the bottom. I
almost deleted this email but I was blessed when I got to
the end

God, when I
received this e-mail, I thought...



I don't
have time for this... And, this is really inappropriate
during work.

Then, I realized
that this kind of thinking is.... Exactly, what has caused
lot of the problems in our world today.

We
try to keep God in church on Sunday morning...

Maybe, Sunday
night...

And, the
unlikely event of a midweek service.

We
do like to have Him around during sickness....

And, of course,
at funerals.

However, we
don't have time, or room, for Him during work or play...

Because.. That's
the part of our lives we think... We can, and should, handle
on our own.

May
God forgive me for ever thinking...

That... There is
a time or place where..

HE
is not to be FIRST in my life.

We
should always have time to remember all HE has done for us.

If,
You aren't ashamed to do this...

Please follow
the directions.

Jesus said, 'If
you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my
Father.'

Not
ashamed?

Pass this on
ONLY IF YOU MEAN IT!!

Yes, I do Love
God.

HE
is my source of existence and Savior.

He
keeps me functioning each and every day... Without Him, I will
be nothing. But, with Christ, HE strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)






This is
the simplest test.

If
You Love God... And, are not ashamed of all the marvelous
things HE has done for you...

Send this to ten
people and the person who sent it to you!





Now do you have the
time to pass it on?

Make sure that
you scroll through to the end.

Easy vs. Hard

Why
is it so hard to tell the truth but Yet so easy to tell a
lie?

Why
are we so sleepy in church but Right when the sermon is over
we suddenly wake up?

Why
is it so easy to delete a Godly e-mail, but yet we forward
all of the nasty ones?

Of
all the free gifts we may receive, Prayer is the very best
one....

There are no
costs, but wonderful rewards..... GOD BLESS!

Notes: Isn't it
funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then
wonder why the world's going to hell...

Isn't it funny
how someone can say 'I believe in God' but still follow
Satan (who, by the way, also 'believes' in God).

Isn't it funny
how you can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and they
spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages
regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing?

Isn't it funny
how when you go to forward this message, you will not send
it to many on your address list because you're not sure what
they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it
to them

Isn't it funny
how I can be more worried about what other people think of
me than what God thinks of me.

I
pray, for everyone who sends this to their entire address
book, they will be blessed by God in a way special for them.

And send it
back to the person who sent it, to let them know that indeed
it was sent out to many more.

Subject: FW: New Presidential ice cream flavor

Barocky Road is a blend of half Vanilla, half Chocolate, and surrounded by Nuts and Flakes.

The Vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient.

The Nuts and Flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow.

The cost is $100.00 per scoop.

When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but then the Ice Cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you.

Thus you are left with an empty Wallet, no change, holding an empty cone, with no hope of getting any Ice Cream. Aren't you feeling stimulated?

The Best Surgeon In California

Three Californian surgeons were playing golf together and discussing surgeries they had performed. One of them said, "I'm the best surgeon in California. In my favorite case, a concert pianist lost sever fingers in an accident, I reattached them, and 8 months later he performed a private concert for the Queen of England."

The second surgeon said, "That's nothing. A young man lost an arm and both legs in an accident, I reattached them and two years later he won a gold medal in track and field events at the Olympics."

The third surgeon said, "You guys are amateurs. Several years ago a woman was high on cocaine and marijuana and she rode a horse head-on into a train traveling 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was the woman's hair and the horse's ass. I was able to put them together and now she's Speaker of the House."

Subject: United?????????? Count Alex & Howard out of this boondoggle..



I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats and

Republicans, called upon America to unite behind Obama. Well, I want to make it clear to all who will
listen that I AM NOT uniting behind Obama! I will always respect the Office which he holds, and I will
acknowledge his developing abilities as an orator and wordsmith, BUT
that is it.
I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that he is a
one-term President!

Why am I doing this?
It is because I do not share Obama's vision for America; I do not
share his Abortion beliefs.
I do not share his radical Marxist's concept of re-distributing wealth.

I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make
$150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times since August...I
think it started at $250,000).

I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%.

I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage.

I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made public).

I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system inAmerica.

I do not share his Strategic views of the Middle East, and certainly
do not share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as Iran.

Bottom line, my America is vastly different from Obama's, and I have
a higher obligation to my Country and my God to do what is Right!

For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous
entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility but
for their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family,
and his spiritual beliefs!

They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs or their
philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their
personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country!


They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated
except being intolerant!

They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years.


They have mocked and attacked the very core values so important to the
founding and growth of our Country!


They have made every effort to remove the name of God or Jesus Christ
from our Society!


They have challenged capital punishment, the right to bear firearms,
and the most basic principles of our criminal code; they have attacked
one of the most fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free
speech!


Unite behind Obama?


Not today.


I am sure many of you who read this think that I am going overboard,
but I refuse to retreat one more inch in favor of those whom I believe
are sheep being led to slaughter, or at least to the kool-aid
fountain!



PRESIDENT BUSH made many mistakes during his Presidency and I am not
sure how history will judge him.



However, I believe that he weighed his decisions in light of the long
established Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers!!!



Majority rules in America , and I will honor the concept; ho wever, I
will fight to be a voice in opposition to Obama and "his goals for
America ."



I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked,
will destroy our Country!!

Any more compromise is more defeat!
I pray that the results of this election will wake up many who have
sat on the sidelines and allowed the
Socialist-Marxist, anti-God crowd to slowly change so much of what has
been good in America !


"Error of Opinion may be tolerated where Reason is left free to
combat it." (Thomas Jefferson)

Commentary
Barack Obama, Fabian Socialist
Jerry Bowyer, 11.03.08, 12:32 AM EST
Who needs Molotov when we've got Alinski?

Barack Obama is a Fabian socialist. I should know; I was raised by one. My
Grandfather worked as a union machinist for Ingersoll Rand (nyse: IR -
news - people ) during the day. In the evenings he tended bar and read
books. After his funeral, I went back home and started working my way
through his library, starting with T.W. Arnold's The Folklore of
Capitalism. This was my introduction to the Fabian socialists.

Fabians believed in gradual nationalization of the economy through
manipulation of the democratic process. Breaking away from the violent
revolutionary socialists of their day, they thought that the only real way
to effect "fundamental change" and "social justice" was through a mass
movement of the working classes presided over by intellectual and cultural
elites. Before TV it was stage plays, written by George Bernard Shaw and
thousands of inferior "realist" playwrights dedicated to social change.
John Cusack's character in Woody Allen's "Bullets Over Broadway" captures
the movement rather well.

BuzzArnold taught me to question everyone--my president, my priest and my
parents. Well, almost everyone. I wasn't supposed to question the Fabian
intellectuals themselves. That's the Fabian MO, relentless cultural and
journalistic attacks on everything that is, and then a hard pitch for the
hope of what might be.

That's Obama's world.

He's telling the truth when he says that he doesn't agree with Bill Ayers'
violent bombing tactics, but it's a tactical disagreement. Why use
dynamite when mass media and community organizing work so much better? Who
needs Molotov when you've got Saul Alinski?

So here is the playbook: The left will identify, freeze, personalize and
polarize an industry, probably health care. It will attempt to nationalize
one-fifth of the U.S. economy through legislative action. They will focus,
as Lenin did, on the "commanding heights" of the economy, not the little
guy.

As Obama said, "the smallest" businesses will be exempt from fines for not
"doing the right thing" in offering employer-based health care coverage.
Health will not be nationalized in one fell swoop; they have been studying
the failures of Hillary Care. Instead, a parallel system will be created,
funded by surcharges on business payroll, which will be superior to many
private plans.


The old system will be forced to subsidize the new system and there will
be a gradual shift from the former to the latter. The only coercion will
be the fines, not the participation. A middle-class entitlement will have
been created.

It may not be health care first; it might be energy, though I suspect that
energy will be nationalized much more gradually. The offshore drilling ban
that was allowed to lapse legislatively will be reinstated through
executive means. It may be an executive order, but might just as well be a
permit reviewing system that theoretically allows drilling but with
endless levels of objection and appeal from anti-growth groups. Wind and
solar, on the other hand, will have no permitting problems at all, and a
heavy taxpayer subsidy at their backs.

The banking system has already been partially nationalized. Bush and
Paulson intend for their share purchases to be only non-voting preferred
shares, but the law does not specify that. How hard will it be for Obama,
new holder of $700 billion in bank equity, to demand "accountability" and
a "voice" for the taxpayers?

The capital markets are not freezing up now, mostly because of what has
happened, although community organizers' multidecade push for
affirmative-action mortgages has done enormous harm to the credit system.
Markets are forward looking.

A quick review of the socialist takeovers in Venezuela in 1999, Spain in
2004 and Italy in 2006 show the same pattern--equity markets do most of
their plummeting before the Chavez's of the world take power. Investors
anticipate the policy shift in advance; that's their job.

It's not just equity markets, though; debt markets do the same thing.
Everywhere I turn I hear complaints about bankers "hoarding" capital.
"Hoarding" is a word we've heard often from violent socialists like Lenin
and Mao. We also hear it from the democratic left as we did during the
1930s in America. The banks, we're told, are greedy and miserly, holding
onto capital that should be deployed into the marketplace.

Well, which is it, miserly or greedy? They're not the same thing. Banks
make money borrowing low and lending high. In fact, they can borrow very,
very low right now, as they could during the Great Depression.

So why don't they lend? Because socialism is a very unkind environment for
lenders. Some of the most powerful members of Congress are speaking openly
about repudiating mortgage covenants. Local officials have already done so
by simply refusing to foreclose on highly delinquent borrowers. Then,
there's the oldest form of debt repudiation, inflation. Even if you get
your money back, it will not be worth anything. Who would want to lend in
an environment like this?

Will Obama's be the strong-man socialism of a Chavez, or the soft
socialism that Clement Atlee used to defeat Churchill after WWII? I don't
know, but I suspect something kind of in between. Despite right-wing
predictions that we won't see Rush shut down by Fairness Doctrine
fascists. We won't see Baptist ministers hauled off in handcuffs for
anti-sodomy sermons. It will more likely be a matter of paperwork. Strong
worded letters from powerful lawyers in and out of government to program
directors and general mangers of radio stations. Ominous references to
license renewal.

The psychic propaganda assault will be powerful. The cyber-brown-shirts
will spew hate, the union guys will flood talk shows with
switchboard-collapsing swarms of complaint calls aimed at those hosts who
"go beyond the pale" in their criticisms of Obama. In concert with pop
culture outlets like The Daily Show and SNL, Obama will use his podium to
humiliate and demonize those of us who don't want to come together and
heal the planet.

You've heard of the bully pulpit, right? Well, then get ready, because
you're about to see the bully part.

Acceptable Terms for Surrendering your Firearm

Subject: And Now You Know The Rest Of The Story!

In South Los Angeles, a fourplex was destroyed by a fire.

A Nigerian family of six con artists lived on the first floor, and all six died in the fire.

An Islamic group of seven welfare cheats, all illegally in the country from Kenya, lived on the second floor, and they, too, all perished in the fire.

Six LA, Hispanic, Gang Banger, ex-cons lived on the 3rd floor and they too, died.

One white couple lived on the top floor.
The couple survived the fire.

Jesse Jackson, John Burris and Al Sharpton were furious. They flew into LA, met with the fire chief, on camera. They loudly demanded to know why the Blacks, Black Muslims and Hispanics all died in the fire and only the white couple lived.

The fire chief said,

"Simple--- they were away at work."

Did you know that President Obama signed the stimulus package at the same desk where President Clinton got his package stimulated?
