building material good or bad

After spending all day long working on the sheet rock at the office I wonder why anyone would ever want to use sheetrock. It is a poor building material and gains size over time so that when you try to make repairs It never comes out right because the size is different. When you cut it or hammer in nails it usually breaks some how and has to be repaired. The builders used to use stucco and they thing that sheetrock was an improvement I am not so sure they are right. At least with the stucco when you were done with it you did not have to be repair it again. In fact it was almost impossible to break a hole in it. Anyway the sheetrock will be done tomorrow,then it can be painted. All that remains now is a little tile work then we are done,wah hoo! Thanks for listening. Steve

It is all over now

Well another year has come and gone and Christmas passed by and it did not even seem like it was here. I don't know maybe it is just me but it did not even seem like it was Christmas this year. I can not tell if it was just that we were so busy with the birth center. Maybe we did not have time for Christmas this year. Oh I don't mean we did not have time, I meant that it was coming and we had to stop for it but we never really thought about it. It was just here and then it was just gone like it had never come to begin with. Now we have new years eve to deal with,some have parties some ignore it like it wasn't there at all. I think I might be in the ignore it category we will just have to wait to see how I feel about it at the time. Thanks for listening. Steve

what christmas used to be like

When I was a kid they did not have many of the things that the kids have today. There were no cell phones. no Ipods,no rap music and no computers. So most of the things that the kids want for Christmas this year did not even exist. We looked forward to our Christmas the same as they do today,but it was a much more simple time. We had toys that were made of wood and did not have battery's,or they were jump ropes and more old fashioned toys. We played with things that seemed to come from a time that had passed. But there is HOPE,I have seen many young people this year that are buying old fashioned toys. They are for the most part the same kind of toys that we used to play with all those years ago. Thank goodness for Christmas past. May it become the Christmas of the future. Thanks for listening. Steve

Now what Mr. President

The republicans have not taken control with all the new power they will get in January and the president can not get anything he wants passed. When January comes along it will get much worse for Obama. He thinks he is picked on now just wait. His approval rating is at just over 40percent the lowest it has been since he got elected. I see that his Dream bill that would have given thousands of illegals citizenship failed. He and his party have had more bad ideas than most presidents have in two terms. I fail to understand how he can have a complete lack of understanding as to how the government works. ALL OF THE THINGS HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WERE ALL LIES. HE WAS NOT EVEN BORN A CITIZEN OF THIS COUNTRY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. Thanks for listening. Steve

It is not about the presants.

Christmas is not about the presents but I believe we have lost the true meaning of Christmas. It is about a father giving his son so that others may live even if we do not deserve it. It is about a baby who was born a king but does not claim his kingdom for thirty three years. It is about giving us a chance to start over when we never knew we needed it. It is about the story of a virgin that is with child  even though she has never known a man. She has a baby born the king of the Jews,the king of the world and yet the world refuses to claim him. It is about the kingdom that turned the world upside down. It is about the man that was GOD and yet he was still man. So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. THING ABOUT IT WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU? Thanks for listening. Steve

When I was young.

When I was young I used to think I will never be like those old guys. They can not hear well and they carry a lot of funny stuff in there pockets. Well some how it happened to me,and whats even worse I did not realize it untill the other day. I was taking the stuff out of my pockets and changing in to clean overalls when it hit me I had become one of those dreaded old guys. I am going blind and can not see close up without my reading glasses. I have all that stuff in my overall pockets and my hair is falling out,I am getting old. Funny how quickly the time has passed and it seems to be going quicker all the time. I guess that is what they mean when they say time flies. Thanks for listening. Steve

Did BP do more damage than they thought?

There is a theory being considered in the scientific community right now that BP destroyed the gulf loop. If this is true the unusual weather that they are having in Europe might just become the norm. That would mean a significant change to there crop growing regions. We will have to wait a season or two to find out. Mother nature is capable of correcting most of the things that we do to her planet but it might take a while to correct. It might be that this has been known for a couple of months but it was not let out through the regular news media. Can you imagine the anger at being lied to when our own government knew about how bad the damage was all along. Thanks for listening. Steve
