Back from visiting the kids

Ok, sorry, I have to go
there. Are you kidding me? What in the world is going on with this
President and his administration--
I find it quite amusing that
the President believes if he shows anger at issues he’s “going down the tubes”
on--Benghazi, that people will believe that there’s nothing to learn about how
poorly they handled the situation. That
approach will fool fewer people each time it is implemented. In fact the only people that it is currently
fooling are those in the “Jimmy Kimmel piece” you’ll view later.
The President’s poor
performance has essentially brought his plans for immigration and gun control
to a screeching halt because people are finally starting to realize that if
they can’t trust the administration on the three scandals facing them, what can
they trust them on? Above all of the
fray, we still have “Obamacare” with no realistic solutions being offered. Indeed a true fourth disaster waiting to happen.
I’m sorry but as all
unravels for us, the citizens, it most certainly appears that all the President
really wanted in his second term was to continue his extravagant travel and
vacation itinerary. At least that’s working
well for him and Michelle. Oh yes, that
would be working well--AT OUR EXPENSE!

We have renewed the account that Wanda
Jackson had set up at the photo sharing website, picturetrail.com for the
Roosevelt Alumni: http://www.picturetrail.com/rooseveltalumni. She had posted many pictures from past
reunions, class panels, and old schools buildings along with write ups about
them. We thought you might find these
interesting if you haven’t visited this site in the past.

Polish Sausage
What Aisle is the Polish
Sausage in?
Everyone seems to be in such
a hurry to scream ‘prejudice’ these days….
A customer asked, “In what
aisle can I find the Polish sausage?”
The clerk asks, “Are you
Polish?”
The guy, clearly offended,
says, “Yes I am. But let me ask you
something. If I had asked for Italian
sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian?
Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was
German? Or if I asked for a kosher hot
dog would you ask me if I was Jewish? Or
if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican? Or if I asked for some Irish whiskey, would
you ask if I was Irish?”
The clerk says, “No, I
probably wouldn’t.”
The guys say, “Well then,
because I asked for Polish sausage, why did you ask if I’m Polish?”
The
clerk replied, “Because you’re in Home Depot.”

This was received tonight
from Kathy McDowell's father. He was
thinking this would be the last report, but it sounds like more will
follow. He is really doing well it appears, thanks for prayers and he ask
they continue and feel free to have on your prayer list. The prayers are
taking care of this better than the medical community obviously. Geary

They still are not sure what
is growing on my face (besides the part of my beard they didn’t burn off with
their radiation treatments – lol). The
PET scan showed the knot by my ear at an even brighter level this time
than it was last time, which should indicate cancer. The thing they are not sure about is whether
it actually is or not. The MRI from a
few weeks ago is vague in showing what the cells should look like if they are
cancer. Yet, they have enough similarity that they can’t be discounted. The fact that radiation and chemo didn’t touch
it makes it almost a phenomenon. Thankfully
there are no other places showing up, which is good. This
stuff has not spread. Anyway, they
decided the only way to deal with it is to go in and SEE what it is. They are going to do something like a deep
“skin flap” by my ear down the side of my face and go in and look at it. If it is something they can extract they will
do that. If not, they will get a good
biopsy sample and go from there. The
surgery is going to be done with something just a little stronger than a local,
which probably won’t bother my heart, and they aren’t going to do a full facial
cut which would go around behind my ear and down my neck a ways. The surgery is scheduled for June 7th if I can
get over this pneumonia. It just hangs
on and on.
That is my whole story for
this present time. I don’t know any more
than I did, but maybe I’ll know more eventually. Aside from the pneumonia I feel okay and the
place in question is not sore or hurting physically. The radiation and chemo may have taken a
little of the wind out of my sails since my energy level seems to be down just
a bit, but nothing serious.
Thanks for your prayers. That is the one thing I don’t think the
doctors have taken into consideration. Keep them going up if you will and I’ll keep
you posted when I know something.
Love you all,
Phil

The following clip is from
“Jimmy Kimmel Live” and is a riot. If
you are alive it will make you laugh.
I’ll apologize up front if the ending offends you. Yes, this was staged and the clip edited to
include only the most outlandish answers.
However, that said, I think the answers are a good indication of just
how “engaged” so many of our citizens are with what’s going on in the
world. I do encourage you to just
“lighten up” and enjoy.
