Sometimes You Just Gotta Say Aaaahhh!

Yup ’ true even his Majesty doth sometimes find himself to the verge of relinquishing a blood curdling ...... SCREAM!!

It has been just one of those days. Still I doth be suffering from such a vial inflection of churning stomach, fever and malaise that would kill any meager minion, I hop that this day would bring unto our fair kingdom a mild and quiet turning of events. Ah but fair not be-eth in thy heavenly cards for this realm, for today hath been a day one doth wisheth would have passed whilst one did sleep!

My story doth begineth as such….
“Awaketh my liege! Awaketh!!”, twas all but heardeth trumpeting forth from young Royal Feline Zoe as she pouncethed numerous times upon Sires Royal Aching Mid Section! What a pleasant dash forth to the Royal Commode one must maketh after such a loving start to ones morning!
Next after settling Zoe downeth for a brief respite once more, for all of abouteth 3 minutes, doth the frasarackin blastin sleep disrupter of a phone start ringing forth! “Please press 1 for English, 2 for Spanish ..oops interruptethed by a stray paw from lovely Zoe as the call be doth lost in a hang up! (hehehe)
Ah I doth have still a few minutes more that I mayeth .... Ring Ring ...URGH “Hello is this .......... or the care giver for ........ if so please press 3 now on your telephone key pad. ” ’ Ok boop “There is no one hear to take your call at this moment, please call back between the hours of…..“Hey wait a gosh darn minute YOU CALLED ME! One Doth Shout Uselessly to an automated machine! CLICK some unprintable remarks and thats it!!!
OK so now the day hopefully can only get better from here on Right?!? ANG “Thanks for playing please try again!”
So now the cable on the TV doesn’t work nor does the Internet load! Oh Great! Honey Did you forget Something!! Ah that glorious sound that a Husband Doth Live For!! Am I right Gents?!? Oops so I missed a bill or so this month and they want to turn this off repo that and chargeth me $XX for late fees! Hey One can not taketh blood forth from a Stone Can One!! Well maybe at Stonehenge!?!
Well let us puteth these on a back burner for now. It is off to get a trimeth for me and procureth a new coiffure for my Queen!
Whew that doth go smooth! So it is off back to our Castle doth we returneth!
OK checketh the mail, grabeth a bit of grub since all that we hath eaten was some toast and it doth be about 1:45 in the passing of noon, and quietly enjoy our feasting. .... AS IF…
Ring Ring “Hello” , “No this doth not be-eth the King, why doth thou wisheth to speak with him?” Ah tis okay, Hello Auntie K How be-eth thou?” “No we have not heard from him at all today, why is something amiss?” “You’ve got to be jesting! No, No way, Are you Serious!” Well this continueth on for about I sayeth a good 10 to 15 minutes and then ... Click.. “Okay giveth what hath transpired my love?” .....
In an effort to keepeth this short I shall Quill the remainder of this tale in the most brevity that I can and not deminisheth from its import.

Yep so just when you think things are as bad as they can be for a day, he he he look out someone has something else lined up to proveth you doth be wrong!

A New Year Begins!

Hello to all my subjects and a Happy and Blessed New Years to You ALL!

It seems of late that time has gotten away from me and I haven’t taken the time to enjoy the things that I truly should.
The fact that I constantly am ailing doesn’t help matters, but I shan’t be using that as a crutch any longer.
While I lay in bed within the Royal bed chamber in the wee hours of the AM the other day I began to think about my life as it is
now compared to how it was a decade ago. In sum I realized that I was surely bestowed with many blessings in my life that I have taken for granted these past few years. Allowing my condition to rule my life and attitude towards my life was the wrong way to live. I guess that I was letting my depression get the better of every situation and thus creating a great deal of animosity with the ones that I love. I can only hope that it hasn’t hurt those relationships to a degree of non-repair.
I see each day how the youngest’s attitudes towards myself and the Queen has become at times almost unbearable. We know that the only reason she remains with us is the fact that she would no longer have her transportation method that she has become so reliant upon. As for the relationship with the elder, she is working at taking care of her obligations to a reasonable level and hopes to leave the kingdom as soon as financially possible. That will be a said day in Bedrock when she goes. I also notice that the Queen and I tend to be short with each other more that we used to be. I guess her depression is getting the better of herself as well.? Just another gift from our lovely accidents!



Well I guess my resolve has to kick in and start to take my life back from all of this. I long for the happier days, the days when we would get up and look forward to doing things together. I know deep in my heart that we can get back there if we just put our minds to it! Even if we just start with one little thing at a time. I have started to make myself wake up earlier each morning, but that seems to be falling through as by around 10 am I am very tired and go back upstairs and lay down, and then when I next awaken it is after 1 pm. Whoa Sleeping Beauty has nothing on me but Looks! Oy and this lousy weather and now the snow we are getting is definitely not helping much! I don’t even have the energy or strength to go outside and clear off the driveway and walkways! Alas who but I or the Queen would do it!? Wait yes there is a far off memory of a time when the two young ones would argue over who would be able to use the snow blower to do the clearing! AH those carefree days of yesteryear!



Enough of that depressive crud!! We here at our castle do have some pleasure and entertaining good times! Yes we have a kitten that gives us unending moments of love and laughter. Perhaps we should take a lesson from her and find enjoyment in our lives in the simple things, like hanging out on our cat condo or even amusing ones self with a straw! AH! To be as carefree as a kitten! One can only wish!

So my thoughts for this day are simple: When all of the burdens life throws at you are more than you can handle leaving you so you don’t know what to do… Follow the advice of my kitten just leave it all behind you and off to your kitty condo you should go!!

Simply Christmas

Simply Christmas
‘Tis the time of busy streets,
Merriment and lots of treats!
Of packages filled with heart’s desire,
The end product of shopping trips from which we tire!
Christmas trees all full of lights that shimmer and sparkle on snowy nights.

It is the time of memories future and memories past.
Ones that go and ones that last.
Of childhood wishes and childhood pleasures.
Of little dolls and pirates treasures.
‘Tis a season that’s ageless, forgotten by time.
It carries with it something that’s priceless but cost not a dime.
It requires no outlay, no spending, it’s free!
It is something that’s dear to you and to me!
Everyone has it, no one’s left out!
If you ask what it is people will gladly shout…
“It’s joy and hope! It’s peace and love!”
“It’s wishes met and prayers answered from up above!”

If by now to this you are not a witness,
The answer now I’ll tell you…
“It’s simply Christmas!!!”

by: myself, His royal Majesty, the King!!

Yes It Is True I’ve Been Lax How About You?

It seems these days that I haven’t been too much on my game. I guess you can say that I have been complacent about things and the direction that my life has been taking. All in all I tend to just sit back and let the world pass me by and watch from the side lines just belly aching about this and that. Well that really doesn’t do a darn thing to change things or make them better. One could say that I followed the “Procrastinator’s Motto”.... “Why do Today what you can Put Off until Tomorrow!!” It seems that a great deal of us seem to be falling into that rut. This is a bad thing. It has many ill effects on ones self and those around them. I notice that the more complacent and lax I become the more depressed and unmotivated the Mrs gets and the more depressed and agitated the young one becomes. (Not fun to be around when this happens.) Up until today I really didn’t think too much about it.

This morning I was checking my emails and had received a link from my wife. It was rather appropriate for the way I have been lately and it was also a real eye opening motivator, if I do say so myself. It hit me hard smack between the eyes. It’s impact was more that I had originally anticipated when I first looked at the link compared to when I actually sat and watched the “movie” that the link contained. I thought that it was something that I should share with all of you and let you decide for yourselves how to react. So with no further ado here is the link to click on….http://usawakeup.org/

Once you have viewed this please let me know what you think and perhaps what we should do to motivate others to watch this video as well!?!

Eeny Meeny Miny Moe who is going to end this War?

Eeny Meeny Miny Moe who is going to end this War? Well I don’t know, Do you? Apparently one of the potential Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces doesn’t exactly know either.  It seems that the illustrious Barack Obama has put his foot in his mouth again.  In an attempt to change the belief that he is flip-flopping on his platform for dealing with the Iraq War Obama made the following comment “I’m going to call in the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and give them a new mission, and that is to bring the war in Iraq to a close.  We are going to get out.” There seems to be one problem, I guess Barack Obama doesn’t understand the role of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.  The Joint Chiefs of Staff does not have operational command of U.S. military forces.  That authority resides in the commanders of the various Unified Combatant Commands.  CENTCOM is the command with responsibility for Iraq [and 26 other countries including Afghanistan and Pakistan].  Earlier this month, the Senate confirmed President Bush’s appointment of General David Petraeus as CENTCOM commander.  Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno is the new US commander for Iraq, replacing Gen. Petraeus. Those are the people, along with the Secretary of Defense, to whom the orders Obama spoke of would be issued.
Knowing that Senator Obama, “is a student of military matters and intellectually voracious, it is thus rather stunning that he would betray such ignorance regarding the way the military actually functions.  In truth, the Joint Chiefs are not part of the chain of command. Indeed, they are specifically by statute not part of the chain of command but instead serve solely in an advisory capacity to the president.  Surely Obama knows this. Obviously he wouldn’t be seeking the role of Commander-in-Chief without knowing how the job is done. So what follows will be familiar to him, but may be enlightening to the media types who to date have overlooked yet another Obama misstatement.”

If you would like to get a bit more insight into this issue and some of the history of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, you can click this link to The Weekly Standard.

Happy Independence Day!

Today I was planning on writing this whole long blog about how I love my country and how much things have been changing of late for the worse at home and abroad.  However, I received an email from the USN Master Chief of my clan that sums it up pretty well.  It touches on a great many points that we need to think about on this day of celebration.  Please take a moment and read the posting on the Thomas More Law Center Blog that I have placed here.  It is entitled ”Happy Independence Day!

“  Just give it a click and you will open a new window where the posting will come up for you to read.  Thank you. 

I would just like to add a few sentiments of my own, even though they are so eloquently expressed by both Father Dennis Edward O’Brien of the United States Marine Corps and Richard Thompson of the Thomas More Law Center. 

We need to remember to be thankful for the freedoms we have today.  To give quiet thanks to our Brave Forefathers for obtaining these freedoms and to say a prayer for our Heroic Military men and women who are ensuring that we can enjoy our freedoms still today.  And if you happen upon a Veteran or Active Member of Our Armed Services, whether it be Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, National Guard or a Reservist, take the time to stop and thank that person for putting themselves in harms way for you and your family and for protecting our liberties and glorious nation both here and abroad.  Give them the recognition and kindnesses that they deserve!

Increase The Bounty in The Royal Treasury!!

Greetings to All my loyal subjects!!  Yup that means you all that are currently reading the self indulgent rantings of a self proclaimed monarch! Well

Today May Just Be” YOUR LUCKY DAY!!”

  Yes you did read correctly, I am about to let all of you in on a wondrously beautiful or should I write bountiful secret.  I know I know you all are thinking the same thing that I did… OK What is this gonna cost?!?  Well hang in there and I’ll tell you in a bit, first let me tell you what I was referring to.

Here is the background:

I was at the doctor’s the other day, I’ll leave out the boring medical items to save time, when my Dr. said ” Have I got a winner for you!”  Of course this wasn’t the first time I had been told this, so I was ready to just say Nope. All of the other times were great, but I was left with little to show for them but moths in my bank account and a lot of bill collectors wanting their money!!  I just sat listening and biding my time for the best place to just say too much moo-la lost the last time bub for me to give this one a shot.  So as I sat listening to him it started to really make sense and sounded like a really good idea!
this is the gist of the conversation…
You have a computer and you are usually on-line for at least a couple of hours during the day if you total it all up.  Yes, why?  Well what would you say if I said you could make money by surfing some ads on-line?  What is the catch Doc?!?  Well you have to surf 24 ad sites… 24 SITES I gasped!  Hold on Hold on it is 24 sites, but you just have to be on them for about 15 seconds each!!  15 SECONDS thats it!?! Yes that is it!  OK so what is the catch?  No catch, you just surf the sites and make money, AND if you have a web site you actually can place an ad for your own site in their system to have your site as one of the ones to be viewed!  Really?  Yes really.  OK so how do you get into this?  Easy just go and check out ... so he gave me the site information.

My inquisitive nature and doubting Thomas side still had some questions, like

how can you make the money by looking at an ad?

If you are being paid for surfing how can you have your own site be added to be surfed?

What is this going to cost me this time?

Once I invest how or can I get to my money? Well he said what you are actually doing is buying what are called “ad packs”.  These are credits for advertising clicks so to speak.  That is they are the number of times you can have people click to view/surf your ad.  That is what your “investment dollars” are actually going for. This brings us into the cost.  Well he said you actually don’t have to pay anything at all if you don’t want to.  You can actually get a free site which will give you a chance to have your site advertised by giving you, I think it is 25 credits to use.  If you want to actually earn money then he said, and this is the great part, the minimum to get involved with earning money is just

$10!! Yup you heard right, Just $10 will start you earning money for surfing 24 sites for 15 seconds a site!

Of course he added, the more you put in the more you get out, or build up if you reinvest it!  OK so then how do you get your money or can I even have access to get my money back?  Well look at it this way, yes you can get to your money, but you only have access to the cash balance that you build up from your investment.  The easiest way to get this is to think of a cash value insurance policy.  You build cash on the payment, but you don’t have the amount you pay.  What I mean is this… what you put in is going to purchase advertising for your web site.  This you can consider as gone, but don’t fear this amount is like a credit balance to your account.  This amount is the amount that your account is active for until it is all “spent” or actually recaptured in the amount your receive for surfing the web sites daily, plus 25% so if you invest $500, you have an active account that will be open until your cash value is equal to your original $500 plus an additional $125.  So once you hit $625 your account is closed, or if you decide to re-invest it it reopens/remains active. OK so now I was totally confused and must have shown it on my face.  He chuckled and said I was just like you when I was told about this.  Trust me, just go to the site I gave you and click on all of the links and they will be better able to explain it all.  OK I said and parted with this one remark… ”  This better not be like all the ‘other messes you’ve gotten me into Stanley’, or No One will be able to find your bones, let alone identify them’!!  We both laughed as he knew I was only teasing him, and off I went.

So sure enough I first got the free site, after viewing all there was to view, and played around for a few days.  This was OK and sure I was getting credits for my website, but it wasn’t doing anything for my pocket.  SO I took $10 over to my local Bank of America,(BOA), and deposited it to their account, faxed the proof of deposit and the receipt to their office and the next day poof there it was ... $10 in my account!! Yippee!  Now lets see what happens!?!  OK the next day there was a cash balance in my account of $0.13.  Hmm not great I thought, but a heck of a lot better then what any Money Market, Checking or Savings Account were earning, and better than any Bank or Credit Union were paying you in interest!  OK lets give it a shot I said so I scrounged up a few hundred more and sent it in.  So I waited and waited for it to hit my account, boy it seemed like forever before it finally hit!  Trust me I’ll never do that again!! Next time I’ll bring it to a local BOA!  Well Holy Cow just 4 days since my money hit the account and I have earned myself almost $40!! Now you tell me where you can get a return like that on your account!!  Plus before I forget to tell you I also have earned 1215 credits for advertising my web site!  Totally Awesome!! All I have to do is remember to surf my 24 sites daily, and you don’t even have to do it all in 1 session!

My advice to you is to definitely scrounge up what ever the amount is you can spare, amounts must be in $1 denominations and the minimum opening deposit amount must be at least $10, and follow the instructions to deposit the cash or money order or certified check into their account at your local Bank of America Branch near you then sit back surf up and watch the money zip in to your account!!

Well that is it for now my subjects, so click away on the nice little link below and join me on the waves to wealth-dom!!!

Food For Thought!

A change of topics today.  The Mrs, aka the Queen, told me about this video on YouTube so I watched it and thought it kind of hit some good points to think on.  So I have decided to add this to my message for today!  It is called “If I Were A Terrorist”.  It tells you some interesting things about what James Pence would do if he were in the role of a terrorist.  SO, please click and watch this and think to yourself

WHAT I WOULD DO IF I WERE A TERRORIST !

Hmmm could this already be happening!?!

Our government wouldn’t do this to us.  Or Would It…???

Are You Scared Yet?!?

I am becoming even more nervous everyday with concern for the fate of this Nation.  At first it was candidate vs.candidate is now Presidential candidate and Vice Presidential running mate!  BUT even on top of that you not only get 1 Clinton you get BOTH Clintons if Obama wins.  Next what really is disconcerting is how little the populous knows about the smooth talking, slick dressing Mr. Obama.  There was an internet video portrait done of Obama that was forwarded to me by my Better half.  I think it discusses quite a few things that we ALL should know and think about before making a decision on how we would like or dislike this Young Politician becoming this Great Nation’s Leader and The Commander and Chief of the Greatest Armed Services in the World.  In an effort to help you become better educated on this matter, just click on this Portrait of Barack Hussein Obama

.  Please take the time and watch this video.  It is quite something to think about.  I am not trying to diswade you from following your own judgement for the election, I am just trying to make sure everyone gets The Facts”. SO lets just take a few minutes sit back and absorb the information.
I am happy to review and comment on any items concerning McCain that come my way as well.  If anyone would like to send me some information, or even to say hi, just send me an email at
The King’s Corner
