The Coffee Shop / AN OPEN LETTER TO THE "VICTIMS"

« on: August 10, 2013, 12:55:49 am »

Best spoken encouragement that needs to be said more often:
 Thanks Rush...



AN OPEN LETTER TO THE "VICTIMS"
Personally, I don't think anyone does "positive" better than CONSERVATIVES. At the same time I'm not sure we say what follows enough, or at least not loudly enough. I just get tired sometimes of the negativity, so I thought it would ?pick me up? to write something positive, something we all believe, and something that should be spread far and wide, by as many of us as possible, I hope you will think so also.
 
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE "VICTIMS"

You know who you are. Liberals point to you every day, they point out to you - all of those people and groups who are "OUT TO GET YOU", those who "HATE" you and want you to "FAIL" or to "DIE"

Just a question, has ANY liberal...... EVER..... pointed to you and said:

"I HAVE FAITH IN YOU, THERE IS NOTHING YOU CANNOT ACHIEVE.
THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE SUCCESS YOU MAY ACHIEVE."

Well, as a Conservative, let me be one of many to come, who WILL say that.

We have no problem whatsoever, pointing right AT you, and telling you to your face that there is NO END to the possibilities this Country affords you, and no end to the achievements you can attain. We believe in you 100%, and we're here to tell you that in SPITE of what Liberals tell you, no matter how discouraging they sound, no matter how loud they shout that YOU HAVE NO CHANCE because you are either poor, or a minority, or a woman, or any of a hundred other put upon individuals or groups, that conservatives will ALWAYS have your back.

Now, if you DO happen upon a Liberal, who in spite of your present circumstances, whether it's due to your having dropped from school, or a teen pregnancy, or simply had the misfortune to be born into unfortunate financial circumstances, that looks you in the eye and sincerely says to you that you have the ability to achieve whatever your American Dream might be, then please immediately call 911 because there is a very good chance that they have recently sustained a serious head injury.

We just thought you should know that there has NEVER, EVER been a doubt in our minds that you have the ability to achieve your AMERICAN DREAM, and likely far BEYOND your imagination.

We'll be here as long as it takes to help you along in that effort, working to help you keep more of what you earn, have the ability to go to a school of your choice, and find or even CREATE a job that makes you proud, happy and successful.

Just to prove that we are serious, and dedicated just as much to YOUR success as we are to our own, me and all of my Conservative friends will be SHARING, LIKING, FORWARDING VIA E-MAIL AND COPYING AND PASTING THIS LETTER to every site we have access to so that you NEVER have a doubt that we are here, and that we are dedicated to your happiness and success.

WE WISH YOU ?A  WONDERFUL  LIFE?
sincerely,

an AMERICAN Conservative.

The Coffee Shop / Could be a brag LOL

« on: August 06, 2013, 11:11:49 pm »

Just have to spred it around I suffered hi temps (90's) and smoke but I started making sawdust yesterday and today. Guess what I haven't lost it all, but I'm breaking a few blades. Got to quit pushing against the side of the blade causing it to overheat and BAM!

The BOSS SUGGESTED (you guys know of whom I speak) I make some of those sewing machine plaques like I made for her, to sell to the quilting ladies, so I've got 4 preped and am cutting the first one now. I wish I could find some 1/2" or 3/8" by 12" pine or other cheap wood to cut these things out of I'm making them to fit a regular sheet of printer paper 8 1/2 by 11". Plywood isn't going to cut it due to the layers showing on the edges which makes them look cheap. The ladies that can afford them want the real thing.
As you may recall I cut hers from local oak 3/4" thick and that took plenty of time you can't hurry that stuf.
The 3/4 pine I'm cutting now won't let me go too fast either but it is faster than oak!
I think if I could get 3/8" wood I could stack at least 2 at a time and that would be a real help.
Well enough of this brag / heads up. Those of you who know me can expect a little more harrasment from O'l Gabby

The Coffee Shop / Weather and fires.

« on: July 30, 2013, 03:53:44 am »

Well along with the high Temps some into the low hundreds we now have a bunch of wildfires in the area, today the smoke in  the valley was so thick visibility was down to 1/4 to 1/2 mile. The slurry and water bombers can't do anything because they can't see where to fly let alone water bomb, it's dry as tinder and the streams are at the lowest flows I've seen in the 15 years we've been in Oregon. To say fire danger is Extreme is conservative. Everyone is experiencing respritory and eye irritation.
Still beats the he77 out of shoveling snow!

OK that being  said and done with it's 5: oclock somewhere.
I'm getting myself a drink!
Goodnight Y'all, yep it's 12:52 AM Tuesday Pacific time, but it's probably 5 somewhere.

The Coffee Shop / Retirement Dinner

« on: July 30, 2013, 03:33:17 am »

 
Retirement Dinner

A Priest was being honoured at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish. A leading local politician and member of the congregation was chosen to make the presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner.

However, he was delayed, so the Priest decided to say his own few words while they waited:
'I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it. He had stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his employer, had an affair with his boss's wife, taken illegal drugs, and gave VD to his sister. I was appalled.
But as the days went on I learned th at my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people.'...

Just as the Priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies at being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and gave his talk:

'I'll never forget the first day our parish Priest arrived,' said the politician. 'In fact, I had the honour of being the first person to go to him for confession.'


Moral : Never, Never, Never Be Late

The Coffee Shop / Heart Surgeon Funeral

« on: July 27, 2013, 08:57:30 pm »

Story of the Funeral for a Heart Surgeon:


This would be an acceptable reason to laugh at a funeral...


A very prestigious cardiologist died, and was given a very elaborate funeral by the hospital he worked for most of his life...

A huge heart... covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service as all the doctors from the hospital sat in awe.

Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside.
The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart forever.

At that point, one of the mourners just burst into laughter.
When all eyes stared at him, he said:
 
'I'm so sorry... I was just thinking of my own funeral... I'm a gynecologist!'

The priest fainted!......................
 
Then the Proctologist started laughing?

The Coffee Shop / Still breathing and taking nourishment

« on: July 25, 2013, 04:15:08 am »

Hey Y'all old Gabby here
just in case any are wondering I'm still kicking and making a nuisance of myself.
This year has been a real mess weather wise first it wouldn't warm up and dry out and now it's running tripple diget temps. so even though I've got the saw set up I don't feel much like cooking what little brains I have left. For those of you who don't know me my shop is a open sided carport that I share with my wife's Jeep and My Dodge P/U so in the winter I'm freezing them off and if it's hot like now they are cooking.
Health wise I'm doing pretty well and after not being able to eat my wife's excellent cooking I'm now eating everything in the house and my figure shows it. If it rains it pours.
Well enough of my belly aching I'm still hoping to get some cutting done this year but no guarantees.

The Coffee Shop / The talking centepede just a little corn. LOL

« on: July 25, 2013, 04:03:13 am »

The Talking Centipede


A single guy decided life would be more fun
if he had a pet.



So he went to the pet store
and told the owner
that he wanted to buy an unusual pet.



After some discussion,
he finally bought a talking centipede,
(100-legged bug),
which came in a little white box
to use for his house.



He took the box back home,
found a good spot for the box,
and decided he would start off
by taking his new pet
to church with him.



So he asked the centipede
in the box,
"Would you like to go
to church with me today?
We will have a good time."



But there was no answer
from his new pet.



This bothered him a bit,
but he waited a few minutes
and then asked again,
"How about going
to church with me
and receive blessings?"



But again,
there was no answer
from his new friend and pet.
So he waited
a few minutes more,
thinking about the situation.



The guy decided
to invite the centipede
one last time.



This time he
put his face up against
the centipede's house and shouted,
"Hey, in there!
Would you like to go
to
church with me
and learn about God?".....

YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS ......


This time,
a little voice
came out of the box,

"I heard you the first time!

I'm putting my shoes on!"

The Coffee Shop / The Gorilla a little corn.

« on: May 16, 2013, 03:02:54 am »

The Gorilla

There was a man who owned a giant gorilla and he'd never left it on its own.
But eventually he had to take a trip, so he left his gorilla in the care of his next-door neighbor.
He explained to his neighbor that all he had to do was feed his gorilla three bananas a day at three, six, and nine o'clock. But he was never ever to touch its fur.

So the next day the man came and gave the gorilla a banana and looked at it for a while thinking, "Why can't I touch its fur? Nothing seems to be wrong with it."

Every day he came in and sized up the gorilla for a little while longer as he still couldn't understand. About a week later, he'd worked himself into a frenzy and decided that he was going to touch the gorilla. He passed it the banana and very gently brushed the back of his hand against its fur.

Suddenly the gorilla went "ape" and started to violently jump around. Then it turned and began to running towards the man who, in turn, ran through the front door, over the lawn, across the street, into a sports car, and drove off.

In the rear-view mirror, he could see the gorilla in another sports car, driving right behind him and motioning for him to pull over. He drove for two hours until the engine began to splutter and the car just stopped. He jumped out and began to run down the street, over a brick wall, into someone's front garden, and up an apple tree. He turned around to find the gorilla right behind him beating its chest.

The man jumped down and ran back into the street screaming, until it became dark and he thought he'd lost the gorilla.
The man ran into an alleyway then, suddenly, he saw a giant shadow coming down the street ahead. It was the gorilla!

This time there was no escape. As the gorilla neared him, the man began to feel faint. The giant beast came face to face with him, slowly raised its mighty hand











and said,








"Tag!
You're it!"

I don't write them I just pass them along,
Hi Y'all
