Several Little things

Anything at Anytime has little bits and pieces today.

First -

A few of the Ships on fire in the
Harbor

Today is Pearl Harbor Day.  I know your days are all really busy but if you could take a moment of your time and spend it in silence in remembrance of those that Lost their lives on that most Infamous Day.

Thanks




Second -

This is the Guy
Paydirt Pete

A Congrats to UTEP's Paydirt Pete (UTEP's Mascot) for making it to the Capital One Bowl Final against Ole Dominion's Big Blue.  Both of them had a tough road to the final but they got past some of the Big Names in College Mascots.  Now they are Head to Head to see who is the BEST Mascot this year.  Since My favorite (Herbie Husker) didn't make it I ask all of you to visit the link and Go Vote for Paydirt Pete in his final.  You can Vote as many times as you like (Like, I dunno maybe 10 minutes worth of voting :) for him?).  Seriously, Please Visit the Voting site and put a Vote or two down for good and rowdy Paydirt Pete.

OK, Now did I put enough links for you all to go Vote for Pete?  LOL

Third -

Did you know that Christmas is Right around the Corner?
Really........ I mean, like, 18 shopping days left to make sure you got everyone on your list.
That also means you only have 18 days left to do your best and get on Santa's Good List.  (and if you don't you know that means a lump of coal in your boot/shoe, Right?)
So, start doing that shopping and being really, really nice to others so you don't get that Coal.

On Second thought be really Bad and he might leave you a Whole bag of Coal.  Hmmmmmmm, maybe that isn't so Bad.  Enough Coal and you might not have to Pay for to much Heating fuel from your local gas company.  :)


Last but not Least -

As you all know my Birthday was last week.  My Parents called me and also stopped in here and commented on my Post that day.  Yesterday I got their card for me.

Awesome Card!

No, it did not have a Million Dollars in it so don't ask.  It did have a small gift card and that is as good as spent.

What was Awesome about it?

The Wording

You have all seen those Cheesy cheap cards - You know - the ones we all buy when we are in a hurry and Just have to get something?

Well, this one was NOT one of those.  It had the wording Just Right.  The Wording that tells you that the Person/People that got you THAT Card thought about it and Truly Cared about what they were sending.
It was Good enough that I am almost without the Right words to describe it.

Suffice it to say - It made me FEEL GOOD!

OK,

Don't Forget:

A Moment of Silence for Pearl Harbor Day!

Vote, Vote, Vote for Paydirt Pete

Christmas is Quickly Approaching

Always try and get a Good Card for someone 

(it will make you and them Feel GOOD)

AND

I Hope you All have a GREAT DAY!!!!!

One Day - Two weeks apart

With the Cocktail of drugs that I am taking I am  sleepy all of the time right now and at times it is hard to keep a topic on my mind to write about it.

So on days like today where I can not focus I will leave you all with something to ponder and decide what you would do:


A few years ago (before I got sick) I used to travel a lot.  I had a flat in a "bums" part of town.  This one guy comes up and gives me a hand getting everything changed and got me back on the road.  I didn't have anything at the time to give him other than my thanks.
Two weeks later I was back in that same (was not looking for this guy) and saw him off on the side of the road.  So I pulled over and asked if he remembered helping me.  I had just gotten out cash for the next days travels but gave it to him.  He looked at it and asked what it was for - I told him it was simple. He helped me that night and I got home to my wife and kids and my bed and I wanted him to go get a bed for the Night.

Now this was not your "bum" that stands at a cross section and then catches a bus to their home.  This guy lived in the cardboard box right next to him with what little he had and a skimpy sleeping roll.

What would/will you do if in a similar situation?
