  Good morning all…..I am trying to get into a routine to where this becomes easy and I do not forget all that I need to do.  I am probably the most disorganized person I know.  I did not used to be this way, I think back on when I had children at home and underfoot.  I lived in a small house, smaller than the one I live in now, and lets put it this way Cracker box, with doors and windows.  The kitchen in that place was the size of my master bathroom now.  So maybe I thought I had a lot of things and really didn’t.

I just keep collecting things, and making things, never throwing things away.  Just in the past 2 years I have bought a lot of yard sale treasures.  Now comes the real reason I lead up to this.  I was watching my morning show a couple of days ago, maybe a week ago.  They had the 10 best websites up for discussion, I think it appeared in one of the magazines that is why they were talking about it.  Well anyway, they mentioned Goodwill, and all the fine work they do.  Well it seems that they have a site that is set up just like e-bay.  It is an auction site, and you bid on stuff, they offer up a lot of Antiques, One of a kind items, Nostalgic items, Art, Collectors items, and there are some really interesting things on there. As well as useful things that need homes.

They seem to use the words, Vintage a lot, and they tell you things about the items with pictures and all.  I have been spending my time cruising the site…..and I have won several items.  The site is http://www.shopgoodwill.com  and it is set up for all the Goodwill Inc.s’ across the country to get on there and offer up their stuff.  And the money made goes to help with education, and training, and placement for people with disabilities.  It is a cool site and I have won several items that have already come to me and I am satisfied with them so far.  I am collecting Plates now and I got 2 beautiful plates that are made in Germany and hand painted with gold edging….They came yesterday and WOW they are prettier than they were pictured.  I also won a Logic 3 ipod station….I asked a few questions before I bid on it….they answered really fast too.  I got it for $5.00 and was told that it worked fine, they checked it out before offering it up for bid.  The shipping is a little steep depending on which Goodwill you are dealing with.  But I do not mind paying for the shipping or a handling fee knowing it is going to Services for Goodwill. 

I will keep you all updated on this, because I have several bids in on other things  and I will see in the next week or two how they take care of business.  Well I have to go for now, I have way to much to catch up on today.  And I work on Thurs., Fri., and Sat.  So  I won’t have much time to waste like I have been.  I try to get meals planned, shopping done, clean the house, and get laundry done before I have to go back to work so I am not stressed the days I am away from the house.   You all know that If I don’t do it no one will.  My old man’s arms are broke, and he doesn’t know how to cook.  His favorite pass-time is exercising his drinking arm in front of the TV, Not figuring out dinner so we can eat when I get home from work at 8PM.  You all have a great day, and check out the site.

This morning I was looking at my favorite site wanting to know what happened last night  on the show.  I missed it because I went to bed after my regular Wednesday show on  Sci-Fi Channel.  And for some reason I actually slept until 3 AM this morning, so I got online to check my mail and went to coast to coast am site, I found out they had Jim Marrs on for one hour last night.  He is pretty interesting and I clicked on the link and listened to the pod-cast.  Then I clicked on to his site and ventured around, I haven’t seen his site in a while. 

Jim is a very interesting individual and he discusses a wide range of subjects too.  http://www.jimmarrs.com/  I went there and clicked on the secrets of Redgate which took me to a page that reads Secrets of Redgate at the top.  But at the side bar on the left at the very top there is a heading about Deer Lodge history.  I clicked on it and it was really interesting to get the history of Deer Lodge Montana.  I have never been there but I have been through Montana in a Big Rig, on my way to Spokane WA.  I love the area up there it is truly beautiful, and full of history.

Then I clicked back to the first page and scrolled down….to the list of articles.    I went to the one  Titled  545  written by Charlie Reese.  I did not know some of the information that the writer put in there.  It is definitely worth the time to go there and read it.   While you are on the site look at the archives to find the other article the date of  July 22,2008  on Protecting Banks and Not Borrowers written by Jerry Mazza.  and it is an eye opening piece.  The article covers some of the things that had been done to implement what is going on right now.  All the way back to 1980’s.  I for one was enlightened by the information, and thought OH MY GOD!  I for one agree with what Charlie Reese had to say about the 545, that is exactly what needs to be done and when it happens I can only hope it is not too late for all of us.  Just some good reading if you have some time take a look at the site. 

Also when you are there on the home page there is a heading at the very top that reads Friends of Jim, click on it and see other links to other sources of information.  Other web sites with all kinds of Information, Erthfiles is a good site, and so is Info Wars.  I visit some of them from time to time to get news and information you won’t find in the mainstream News stations.

All the news we are going to get is the same on all the channels just with a little bit of a spin depending on which stations you watch.  Just take notice what is on one channel, is almost at the same minute of time on the other station and sometimes they mix up the order to throw  you off, but it is the same.   If you doubt it just switch around and go from one to the other using your recall button…..See if I am right.  Just food for thought and good reading!
