Remember our guys and gals over there fighting , so
you and I don't have too.
And remember, they are praying
for you, so don't
forget to pray for them and their families.
This from a father of one of our soldiers
I Love This Comeback. What about you?
One of my sons serves in the military. He is
still stateside, here in
California . He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming
people were to him, and his troops, everywhere he goes,telling me how people
shake their hands, and thank them for being willing to serve, and fight, for
not only our own freedoms but so that others may have them also.
But he also told me about an incident in the
grocery store he stopped at
yesterday, on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of several
people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha.
He said when she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the U.S. flag
lapel pin the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached up and touched
the pin, and said proudly," Yes, I always wear it and probably always will."
The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to stop
bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi.
A gentleman standing behind my son stepped
forward, putting his arm around my
son's shoulders, and nodding towards my son, said
in a calm and gentle voice to
the Iraqi woman: "Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this
young man have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country
and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief
that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't need to be
there today. But, hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so loudly
and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to Iraq so
you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country that you are obviously here
in MY country to avoid."
Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have more responsibility here than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. I know deep down in places you dont talk about at parties, you don't want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

22 Wonderful Uses For Petroleum Jelly
by Darlene McFarlane, Jul 30, 2007
Today, Vaseline is found in nearly every medicine chest, glove compartment, purse, desk drawer, garage, emergency kit and winter coat pocket. It is still used for cuts and scrapes, but over the years the list has grown by leaps and bounds.
Petroleum Jelly in it's raw form was a curse to U.S. oil drillers in the late 1800's. It had a paraffin like consistency that stuck to the shaft of their rigs and caused them to seize up. The chemist, Robert Cheseborough created a gel by distilling thin oil rendered from the raw material the drillers liked to call "rod wax."
In 1870 Cheseborough opened his first factory in Brooklyn, New York, under the brand name "Vaseline" as an ointment for skin injuries.
Below are but a few of the many uses people have found for the wonder ointment, Vaseline Petroleum Jelly:
Water Rings on Wood Furniture:
Rub petroleum into damaged area with your fingers and let stand for a few hours or if possible overnight. In the morning remove excess jelly with a paper towel and buff with a soft cloth.
Super Glue Cap:
Often after it's first use, the super glue cap ends up stuck fast to the tube and can't be used again. Put a thick coating of jelly inside the cap threads to keep it from gluing itself shut. This will work on any cap or lid that may stick.
To Shine Shoes:
A thin coating of jelly on shoes, boots and purses will keep them looking great and repel water and road salt. Wipe on a thin layer and wipe off excess with a soft cloth.
Squeaky Doors:
Quiet a squeaky door hinge with a coating of petroleum jelly on the hinge pin. Your door will be quiet and you don't have to worry about messy drips.
Keep Your Hands Clean:
No matter what the chore, if it is messy rub on Petroleum Jelly before you begin. It will keep paint, stain, car grease, and garden dirt from embedding in your skin. It will soften your hands while protecting your skin. Just wipe off with paper towel or an old rag for clean up.
Hair Coloring:
To keep hair color from staining your skin, apply Petroleum Jelly along hairline and ears before you begin.
Cuts and Sores:
When Petroleum Jelly first hit the market, it's purpose was for protecting cuts and scrapes by acting as a barrier to keep out moisture and bacteria.
Moisturizer:
If you have sensitive skin Petroleum Jelly can be used as an all over body moisturizer. It contains no chemicals or perfumes.
Car Battery Posts:
Stop battery post corrosion by applying Petroleum Jelly on the terminals.
Outdoor Lights:
A thin coating of Petroleum Jelly on light bulb threads will prevent them from sticking when they need to be replaced.
Nail Polish:
Rub Petroleum Jelly on the skin around your nails before polishing. If you make a mistake it can be wiped off when your nails are dry and it softens cuticles at the same time.
Paint Cans:
Petroleum Jelly forms an air tight seal when applied around the inside edge of the can.
Frozen Locks:
To keep your locks from freezing, smear Petroleum Jelly on the shaft of the key and insert it into the lock. Work the key and lock 4 or 5 times to lubricate the tumblers. This is also a good remedy for keys and locks that just don't seem to work smoothly together.
Sticky Drawers:
Apply petroleum Jelly along the runner on a sticky drawer to make it slide more freely.
Rough Feet:
If you are like so many people, your feet are hard, calloused and dry. Apply petroleum Jelly to your feet after bathing or showering. Apply within the first three minutes of bathing before the moisture on your skin evaporates. It will make your feet softer, and act as a moisture barrier to keep your feet from drying out.
Garbage Can Lids:
In the winter rubber garbage can lids can freeze to the can. A thin coat of Petroleum Jelly will keep it from sticking.
Chapped Lips:
Apply as needed.
Makeup Remover:
Use as you would any makeup remover. It removes makeup safely while softening your skin.
Diaper Rash:
Use in place of expensive ointments and creams to prevent rash.
Tight Finger Rings:
Apply to your finger and the ring will slide off.
Grandpa's Bald Head:
Gives a glistening shine for those special occasions. Just apply and polish.
Nuts and Bolts:
Keep nuts, bolts and screws from rusting by coating with Petroleum before using.
Why spend unnecessary money on countless bottles, cans and jars of chemical products when one inexpensive jar of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly can do it all? It's easy on the environment, contains no allergens or chemicals and is easy on the pocket book!
