~ G'Day ~

Shewwwww doggy! Have you ever had a day when your feet hit the floor & you knew you should NOT have gotten out of bed?!

It all started out with everything going wrong (I do believe the full moon has passed) … I can’t imagine but another flat tire, the car won’t start, the front door is still locked, the garage door is closed, the phone is ringing, the house keys are on the key ring locked in the car … oy! The neighbors aren’t home, I’m in my nightgown! … every passing car in the neighborhood & then some are giving me THE LOOK!!! … & then I woke up! Did I get ya? Happy lst … chuckle.

Have a beautiful day ...

Obviously, This Man Was Clairvoyant As Well As Intelligent

HOW DID JEFFERSON KNOW?

(Especially read the last quote from 1802.)

"When we get piled upon one another

in large cities, as in Europe , we shall

become as corrupt as Europe ." Thomas Jefferson "The democracy will cease to exist when you

take away from those who are willing to work

and give to those who would not." Thomas Jefferson "It is incumbent on every generation to

pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world." Thomas Jefferson "I predict future happiness for Americans if

they can prevent the government from

wasting the labors of the people under

the pretense of taking care of them." Thomas Jefferson "My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results

from too much government." Thomas Jefferson "No free man shall ever be

debarred the use of arms." Thomas Jefferson

"The strongest reason for the people

to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." Thomas Jefferson "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the

blood of patriots and tyrants." Thomas Jefferson "To compel a man to subsidize with his

taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." Thomas Jefferson Thomas Jefferson also said this in 1802!:

"I believe that banking institutions are

more dangerous to our liberties than

standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation,

the banks and corporations that will grow up

around the banks will deprive the people of all

property - until their children wake up homeless

on the continent their fathers conquered."
