Recently, I accompanied my new young friend, Jazzy, to an appointment she had scheduled. It was over an hour drive, one way and we talked, laughed, zig-zagged through traffic and enjoyed the scenery. Upon arrival, I decided rather than to stay in the car, I would sit in the waiting area of the establishment to pass the time.
While watching the people come and go, I encountered four people, in the course of about 40 minutes, with nose rings. Not the kind that are a small sparkling stone on the side of the nostril, but the kind that looks like a ring, hanging out from under the nose above the upper lip. It was at this time that I had to remind myself of two things; one, I was in a large metropolis, lots more people equals lots more interesting folks and two, I was getting old. As I tried not to stare at the person with the rainbow colored hair and giant nose ring setting next to me, another person came up to said person and asked where they got that great looking nose ring. A new ice breaker for starting a conversation, at least to me.
Jazzy is a whopping 23 years old and me...well, let's just say, no longer fifty something, but we get along very well....I learn from her and she learns from me. When Jazzy was finished and we were back on the road, I disclosed my shock of the nose ring tsunami I had just encountered. She grinned and announced that she used to have one too. I told her I always thought that having a nose ring was a sign of submission or being owned and that I was certainly happy she had got past that particular part of her youth. She laughed and we enjoyed the ride back.
Later, I did some research into the ring in the nose and found out that, in different cultures, the nose ring was actually a symbol of beauty, prestige and wealth. Where I had made my mistake was thinking that it referred to being 'led by the nose', which probably got its origins from ringing a cows' nose.
The meaning of being led by the nose means 'to control someone and make them do exactly what you want them to do'.
There has been another shooting by police that turned another city into mass chaos. Riots, looting, setting fires, throwing objects off of over passes onto innocent drivers and beatings, all done because they were given false information. Who gave the info? The major news networks. Why? That is a good question.
What is going on behind the scenes of where our country gets its news source? A little research into who and what owns the major networks may be a shock to many people, but the information is out there if we care to look for it. Sadly, many will not. We are content to sit in our favorite chair and put our trust in the evening news.
It seems we are being spoon fed just exactly what the powers that be want us to know. We need to wake up. If we don't, we may find ourselves being led by the nose only to find out that where we are being led is nowhere we want to be.

Not In The Books
Many moons ago, when I sat behind a small desk in history class, I'm certain that most of my attention was day dreaming out through the window on the far side of the room. History did not interest me, nor did most of the other subjects, I was simply there because I had to be. Had I been recommended to start high school at age 30, I would have been a much better student. One thing I do know for sure, had I been told about the following subject matter, I would have paid a lot more attention.
I will tell the story in my own words and I assure you, that if you find it hard to believe, the information is out there, if only we look for it.
At the end of World War 2, when the alliance had defeated the Germans, it was rumored that many of the Nazi's and their followers had escaped to Antarctica. This exodus had apparently been going on for some time and I have read that it is estimated that more than 200,000 German people could not be accounted for, after the war, along with large portions of their military equipment and U-boats.
Although the war was over, the United States sent a large armed military group which consisted of ships, submarines and aircraft to Antarctica under the guise of exploration. One of the officers on this trip was Admiral Richard E. Byrd. The deployment was to last for nine months. Within three to four months, this group headed back after suffering damage and losses.
They stopped in South America and it was there that Admiral Byrd told the news agencies what he, and many others, had seen. He said the Germans were indeed there, with a large underground base and they were equipped with flying saucers that could navigate between the North and South Poles in a matter of minutes. He also said the Germans were in the company of extraterrestrial beings. This was just a few months before the Roswell, New Mexico incident.
Folks, this isn't fantasy, this is truth. It's been 70 years since this took place. Why aren't we told about this?
Think about this information for awhile. You can roll your eyes and decide that perhaps I've soaked up too much of the Carolina rays, but I urge you to do your own research and keep an open mind.
Stay tuned for more, as this is just the beginning of my find.

Brother Bob
Having jumped into the rabbit hole, or possibly a worm hole, I have come to discover many a weird thing. Some of the things I have come across excite me and others leave me nearly despondent.
I feel the need to share, even though it is way out of my realm. I like to be funny or witty and the material I have come across is anything but. It is really nothing new, the information is out there if one chooses to search for it. Of course, when taking a path that is not followed by the masses, discernment is always an important factor to keep in mind, along with the knowledge that a lot of people are going to roll their eyes and shake their heads in dismay.
As I ponder how best to approach my task of revelations, I decided it was time to try to be funny, if only for awhile. Rather than wax eloquently about some recent outing where I possibly made a fool out of myself, I shall share with you, one of my favorite jokes.....
Brother Bob, as his parishioners called him, had started a new church. The number of his flock were beginning to increase and the one thing Brother Bob did, that was much different than other churches, was to personally conduct interviews with the good folks who wanted to join the church.
One bright sunny Monday morning, Brother Bob strolled to his office and found three couples in the waiting room all ready for their interviews. There sat Carl & Carole, a couple who had just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, Bernie & Betty, who had been together nearly twenty years and Johnny & Sally, newlyweds.
Brother Bob was not one to waste time or space and proceeded to usher the couples into his office in order to do the interviews all at one time. He explained the usual things that he expected like being to church on time, putting the right amount of money in the plate and trying hard not to sing out of key. All the couples seemed to take in the requirements with little fanfare until Brother Bob dropped the last one in their laps. He explained to them that in order to become a member of the church, they had to abstain from having sex for two weeks from the day of the interview.
Believe you me, the room got deathly silent. Carl & Carole's facial expression never changed, Bernie's eyebrows were more than half way up on his forehead and Johnny & Sally's chins were nearly on the floor. After a brief time, they all got control of themselves, albeit except for Carl & Carole, agreed to the terms and promised to meet back at Brother Bob's office in two weeks.
Two weeks later, Brother Bob walked to his office and found all three couples sitting in the waiting area. Even though Brother Bob was a bit odd at times, he knew when to be discreet. He took Carl & Carole into his office first. He asked them if they had been able to abstain for the allotted time and after a small fit of laughter and a couple of snorts, they assured him they had been able to hold out for the two weeks. Brother Bob welcomed them to the church.
Next was Bernie & Betty. They sat down across from Brother Bobs' desk and told him that even though there had been a couple of close moments, they too had been able to abstain. Brother Bob welcomed them to the church.
Lastly, Johnny & Sally came into the office. Brother Bob asked, "Were you able to abstain for the two weeks?" Johnny hung his head low and said, "No, Brother Bob, we did not. We tried really hard but one day Sally bent over to pick up a loaf of bread and well, I just couldn't help myself."
Brother Bob said, "I'm sorry to hear that son, you cannot become a member of the church."
Johnny replied, "That's OK Brother Bob, I can't go into Kroger anymore either."
