Ubuntu: Linux for Human Beings

2006-03-05T12:30:00.001-08:00

Ubuntu is fundamentally different from traditional proprietary software: not only are the tools you need available free of charge, you have the right to modify your software until it works the way you want it to.

Ubuntu includes more than 16,000 pieces of software, but the core desktop installation fits on a single CD. Ubuntu covers every standard desktop application from word processing and spreadsheet applications to internet access applications, web server software, email software, programming languages and tools and of course several games.

Linux isn't Windows. Microsoft isn't Linux.
You won't find IE, any flavor nor Outlook Express or Outlook.

Right Hand of God

2006-02-02T17:59:00.000-08:00

Right Hand of God leans on what many believe.
"An Open Letter to Crazy Muslims" Deals with who's tha boss! Them or ?
Current events you think about daily!

Religious Icons - Free to Caricature?
We Christians here in the US have to co-exist with anti-religion and anti-Christian zealots like the ACLU and suffer through offensive tripe from Hollywood like the now-cancelled Book of Daniel,

Muslims Against Free Speech
Do Muslims hate free speech? Well...maybe not symbolic speech like the murder of innocent human beings through suicide bombing, decapitating kidnapped peoples, terrorist attacks, burning and mutilating bodies, etc.
-
Here at home...NBC uses free speech to attack Christianity through mocking the Crucifixtion on "Will & Grace" to it's recently cancelled series, "The Book of Daniel"

While we sell home grown produce from our gardens we also buy from local farmers. Between times we use the Houston Farmers Mkt It's huge and has good produce from the valley of Texas and elsewhere. Texas Farmers Markets For other States, you might find Your's Here

Home grown is Best for several reasons. One of which is taste! Another, many of us don't use poisonous insecticides. You can pick and eat it right out of tha garden.

Gardening & Selling Produce

2005-11-14T19:06:00.000-08:00

I blog part time. Garden in season full time. Have Fun anytime!

I didn't start gardening to sell produce at our Produce Stand
Near as I remember, my first garden was a 'Victory Garden'
about 60 years ago.
If memory serves, I recall at least one seed sprouted.
Excited was an understatement. I still get excited seeing that today.

My continuing interest most likely was sparked by an uncle letting me plow behind his mule. My Grandfather had an old horse he plowed with and would let me help sometimes.

Most of 11 Aunts & Uncles did some farming or gardening.
They proved that something besides rocks would grow in that part of
SE Oklahoma
where there were no lakes, but lots of one room school houses.
Today; If you knew tha spot you might fish over my old school at Sardis Lake.

My favorite gardening forum is Dave's Garden

From Death's Door to Home with Hope

2004-04-30T20:15:00.000-07:00

Many thanks to the professional and patient minded staff at the Houston VA hospital.
Thanks to Telecare and their efforts.

My wife had called them, they advised calling 911
The Nurse ask to speak to me. I told her Nurse Lela Sanders we would drive to the emergency room there.
She said No! You might not make it.
I wasn't so sure about calling 911, she wanted to know why. I couldn't think of a good answer.

She told me I could, would lay there and die.
We called 911!
She called back in 5 minutes to inquire if they had arrived.

The local hospital was in contact with the Houston VA and followed their instructions.
After exam, x-rays and two units of blood I was transported to Houston.

At the emergency room there, installing a tube to pump blood from my stomach
I was taken to MICU where they gave me more blood and continued to pump blood out of me.
During my six days as a patient there I never found a disagreeable staff person.

A Special thanks to 3-B Nursing unit, all shifts for their care.
Many thanks to the Doctors, My personal Doctor!

I was placed on oxygen 24/7
They stopped my internal bleeding.

I was sent home with hope for the future.
Febuary 05 I will be 70 years old (young) thanks to the dedicated staff at a veterans Hospital.
