https://www.foodprevent.com/whatll-happen-to-you-if-you-start-eating-3-eggs-a-day/

I have heard most of my life that you should limit your egg intake. Mainly because they are bad for your heart. High in cholesterol you know. Something that tastes so good and will go with several dishes is bad for you if not taken in moderation. Shucks!! Then I stumbled on this article. But then, they tell you this is good for you and someone else comes along and says that is bad for you! Drives me crazy!!

Here's another link sent to me by a friend:  

 https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-many-eggs-should-you-eat    

 

After eating up these articles, pun intended, I have a better understanding that there is a God. I can enjoy my eggs with an enjoyable side, such as bacon or sausage or ham or sausage gravy or toast with jam. The delectable combinations seem to be endless. 

In fact, one large hard-boiled egg contains:

• Vitamin A: 6% of the RDA
• Folate: 5% of the RDA
• Vitamin B5: 7% of the RDA
• Vitamin B12: 9% of the RDA
• Vitamin B2: 15% of the RDA
• Phosphorus: 9% of the RDA
• Selenium: 22% of the RDA
• Eggs also contain decent amounts of vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin B6, calcium and zinc

You will also earn yourself these 77 calories, 6 grams of protein and 5 grams of healthy fats.

There is more. Just read the articles and if you are an egg lover such as I am, you will walk away stepping on clouds and whistling your favorite tune.  

 

So scramble a few for me and pass the English muffin and marmalade.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What a Godsend!! It's National Taco Day AND National Vodka Day!!!! The best of two worlds in one. Since they fall on Friday this year I vote we turn it into Taco/Vodka weekend. However, you may need a designated taco filler. The old coordination begins to falter after 2-3 vodkas. Or is that the tacos? In case you are new to the taco scene (did you grow up under a rock?) then here's a quick and yummy recipe:

Chopped Onion 

Ground Beef (90%) 

Tomato Sauce  

Taco Seasoning  

 

Here is a recipe for homemade taco seasoning:

• chili powder

• garlic powder

• onion powder

• dried oregano

• paprika

• ground cumin

• crushed red pepper (optional)

• salt and pepper

• sugar (optional)

• cornstarch

 Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

Put an ample amount of meat mixture in a corn hard shell taco or a soft flour tortilla. If you want to spice it up use a little salsa. Pace is the best IMHO.  

And now for the good stuff-------VODKA.

The 20 Best Selling Vodka Brands In The World in 2019

• Smirnoff.
• Absolut.
• Khortytsa.
• Żubrówka.
• Khlibnyi Dar.
• Nemiroff.
• Svedka.
• Pyat Ozer.

I prefer Absolute but the truth is after a couple drinks they all do the same thing.

Rather than list the various drinks you can make with vodka here's a link that tells you how to make them and the ingredients for each cocktail:

CAUTION: THIS IS A POLITICAL STATEMENT

Adam "Shifty" Schiff

I have been accused of being a Trump supporter. So what's wrong for pulling for the underdog? That's what some from across the aisle feel about him. Along with calling him an illegitimate President, a racist, a whore monger and any derogatory name you can think of. Those with Trump Derangement Syndrom eat, sleep (with nightmares) and dream of his political demise. Possibly his physical demise as well! They don't want to burn him in effigy, they would prefer to do it in the flesh. 

Now with all the failed attempts to remove him from office by hook or crook, heavy on the crook(s) they are going to waste MORE TIME AND MONEY, your money, to impeach him. Be careful there Dems, don't fall on your sword. Just kidding. You go right ahead and do what you are doing best. Stumbling and falling.

What about the champion of their cause? The dishonorable Schiff currently serves as on the United States Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Ok, he is on a committee but the intelligence part eludes me. 

 

Here is the latest example:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obr4uibWOhU 

 

Well, you know what? I don’t believe Schiff’s denial of wrongdoing.  So I demand that Schiff and all members of his staff, his personal attorney and all his family members immediately release all their emails, texts, handwritten notes and phone records of all communications, incoming and outgoing, professional and personal, for the past five weeks.  I also want recordings of their phone calls because how can we trust that they haven't altered any so-called "transcripts?" 

I also demand that everyone involved be subpoenaed for questioning about those communications and all other contacts and communications with anyone else during this period under penalty of perjury! Anyone who doesn’t fully comply within four days is obviously guilty of obstruction, which is treason, so they must immediately be put into solitary confinement to await summary execution!!!

…And thus ends today’s episode of “Talk Like a House Democrat!” I thank you!

 

Leftists don’t seem to care if their people lie, as long as it’s in pursuit of their objectives. This isn’t the first time Schiff has lied, as he maintained for many months that he possessed evidence of Trump/Russia “collusion” in the 2016 election. He had nothing of the sort. And he lied big-time during a congressional hearing when he “parodied” (his later characterization) Trump’s phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky, putting outrageously fake words in the President’s mouth that will no doubt live forever in both the permanent congressional record and the minds of everyone who saw them in media reports. That was the idea, of course.

 

He spent time doing what he later said was a parody. He explained that AFTER he was questioned on his display while being the chairman of the committee that is out for the President's scalp. Here's my question, why didn't he state that this was a parody BEFORE he delivered his made up BS. Oh, probably because he thought he could get away with hoodwinking the public AGAIN!   

I think we should gather up the life long politicians and put them in a bag, shake it up and see who comes out first. Then when they have all escaped explain to them that from this day forward they will live with term limits, just like the President, pay for their own health insurance because we the people, the ones that pay for everything, has had enough and we are mad as hell and we will not take it anymore. If you don't like it here's a ticket to a country of your choice and we expect you to bamboozle them as you have honed your skills on us!!! 

 

 How did such simpletons screw up 

our well thought out republic

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

       Charlie Frank Pride

Who remembers this country music star? I had not thought of him in years until I ran across a short piece on Facebook. I was around when he became a voice to be reconded with in the '70s. Although I didn't care much for country music he caught my attention because of his voice and the way he carried himself. He had a look of pride mixed with a humble side. 

 

He was born in 1934 in Sledge, Mississippi as one of eleven children to a sharecropper. He married Rozene Cohran in 1956. He is an American singer, musician, guitarist, business owner, and former professional baseball player. He was a pitcher for the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_Red_Sox but had to hang up his glove when an injury caused him to lose the "mustard" on his fastball.

 

He served two years in the army from 1956-1958. His break came when Chet Atkins at RCA Victor heard a demonstration tape and got Pride a contract In 1966. After his first few releases that went nowhere, he released another single called "Before I Met You", which also did not chart. Not long afterward, his third single, "Just Between You and Me", was released. This song finally brought Pride success on the country charts. The song reached number nine on the US country chart. The success of "Just Between You and Me" was enormous. Pride was nominated for a Grammy Award for the song the next year.   

 

In 1967, he became one of the first black performers to appear at the Grand Ole Opry. His career took off at this point and he was off to the races. In 1971, Pride released what would become his biggest hit, "Kiss an Angel Good Mornin'", a million-selling crossover single that helped him land the Country Music Association's prestigious Entertainer of the Year award, as well as Top Male Vocalist. He won CMA's Top Male Vocalist award again in 1972.

On April 29, 2011, a biographical film based on Pride's life and career was announced to be in the works. The film will be produced by and star actor and professional wrestler, Dwayne Johnson.

 

On November 1, 2019, The Mississippi native is to be the inaugural recipient of GRAMMY Museum®–Mississippi’s Crossroads of American Music Award.
"As a native of Mississippi, Charley has had a significant impact on American music with his uncompromising honky-tonk country music." said Emily Havens, Executive Director.

Marriage vs Mate

 

So what is the difference between marriage (wife/husband) and a mate? Can you have both in one? This is a question that many have asked since God created Adam and Eve. Eve started it with that damn apple!  

 

You find the one you want to spend the rest of your life with (you think). So you take the plunge and get wed and settle down for a life of bliss (you hope). Then one day you find yourself asking, what was I thinking! The sparkle is gone. The wife/husband has changed. At least in your eyes. So what's missing? 

 

You made a mistake. You married a man/woman, not your mate. The one you married has so many flaws you can't get past. You don't communicate anymore, if you ever truly did. Maybe you had only talked AT each other and not TO each other. Maybe you expected one thing and got another. This won't do. You deserve better! Or do you? After all, you are the one that went into this with your eyes wide open. You convince yourself that he/she has changed, not you!! 

 

You married a man/woman, not your mate. So what is the difference? Well, a mate is something that you fold into and they into you. With time each has accepted the little idiosyncrasies of the other. You have learned how to agree to disagree and then let it go. You have learned to put your selfishness aside and be humble even if it hurt a little. And so has your mate! Giving becomes more of a pleasure than a task as long as it isn't taken for granted or abused. Trust is something that you have and so does your mate because it has been earned not trampled on. 

 

A mate is one that has evolved with you. A mate takes care of you and you take care of them at all times. They even put your needs ahead of yours and you, in turn, do the same for them.  

 

There is my humble opinion. If you just want a wife/husband go for it. However, if you want a lasting relationship take the time to understand and help your future mate to understand what it takes to be a mate.                                                                           

**Full disclosure: I have been through many marriages to learn these lessons.      

 

 Ricky Van Shelton

                    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4PBpesX6oo

Do you remember this country music singer? He was active in his career from 1986 to 2006. He was born in Danville, Virginia. That is 84 miles from Roanoke, Virginia which is where I grew up. 

 

He has 4 platinum records and more than twenty singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. He sang Gospel music at his church as an adolescent. When he was a teenager, however, Shelton discovered country music. He soon started singing in his brother's band, singing Country music, and performed at any local gathering he could.   

 

He married Bettye Witt in 1986 and then shocked the country music world when he announced his retirement in 2006. These days, according to his website, "Ricky spends time flying his airplane, working on his 150-acre farm, gardening, repairing his collection of classic cars and antiquing."

 

Shelton wasn't just a country singer. When he wasn't crooning country songs, he wrote a hit series of children's books too. Tales From a Duck Named Quacker and Quacker Meets Mrs. Moo were both successes in their own right. 

 

 

 

 

 

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

A Just Society  

https://victorygirlsblog.com/aocs-a-just-society-legislation-is-socialism-wrapped-in-a-glittery-bow/ 

A Just Society Creates a Place to Prosper: Put onerous regulations on landlords, set rent controls in place for all (see California’s new rent control idiocy), cap rental increases, and renters who face eviction get legal counsel.
A Just Society Is Merciful: Doesn’t matter what the crime was, any criminal released can’t be denied any federal funds.
A Just Society Uplifts Our Workers: will create a “worker-friendly” score sheet for federal contractors and give PREFERENCE to worker-friendly contractors who score high.
A Just Society Guarantees the Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of All: work conditions, unions, food, clothing, along with mental and physical health would fall under the jurisdiction of the United Nations.
A Just Society Embraces Our Immigrants: The federal government will have to give aid and assistance to ANY immigrant no matter his or her status.

   

Look again at the synopsis above. Do you see what I see? Socialism all wrapped up in a glittery bow.

 

Quote from AOC:

“These stark inequalities are being used by those in power to amplify fear and anger in our communities and further divide us. We must act boldly and swiftly to reverse the corrosive effects extreme inequality and poverty are having on our society.
A Just Society aims to ensure that we are on a path towards shared prosperity for all. A just society provides a living wage, safe working conditions, and healthcare. A just society acknowledges the value of immigrants to our communities. A just society guarantees safe, comfortable, and affordable housing. By strengthening our social and economic foundations, we are preparing ourselves to embark on the journey to save our planet by rebuilding our economy and cultivate a just society.

It is true many things need to be changed and improved. I for one want to thank her for pointing out the obvious. However, having the government step in and control every aspect of your life leads to tyranny and eventually everything gets chaotic and much worse. Prosperity, innovation, and employment comes from the private sector.

 

She seems to be showing her 29-year-old age. As such she is just like the millennials group that she belongs to. Most DO NOT UNDERSTAND what has happened to every society that has tried the communist way of government and due to the way they were educated? they simply are lemmings (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lemmings).
