This, That, and Sunday

March 4th, 2007 . by Cary

I love my son-in-law, M. My youngest daughter, from the first marriage, married a wonderful, Godly young man last May. He is very loving, adores C with all his heart, and is musically talented.

I am a dufus. It was in March. March 10, to be exact. Happy Anniversary, guys. Sorry ’bout that…

He’s also artistically bent, as the two buttons in the left sidebar indicate. He just “whipped those together” while goofing around, he said, and I liked ’em so much I stuck them on the blog. Please, steal them and spread them around.

M and C are moving to Idaho next Sunday. We are trying to spend some time together before they leave, as TMBWitW and I don’t travel very often.

(I may go back to driving a truck, just so I can stop by and see them occasionally, but that means more time away from home…yuck)

I want to say “Hello!” to the family and friends who are peeking in over here – ya’ll are welcome to leave comments, that’s why I’ve left the Anonymous Comments available. Just do me a favor, and sign off in the comment so I know which one you are…

My blogfriend, Texas Fred, has admonished me for campaigning in his comments section. I apologized, and I do mean that, Fred. I understand your reasoning, and you are right, since I don’t have a budget, I don’t stand a real chance.

I would, however, like to ask all of you, my readers, to help me out a bit. Mention my name and website. To everyone, if you would, as a possible alternate candidate. Even if I don’t receive any write-in votes, I’ll have gained some exposure. My main goal is to get the Career Politicians to be aware of the fact that We the People are sick and tired of being the third or fourth thing thought of anytime they are in session. We should be first, along with the sovereign status of the United States of America. We shouldn’t have to fight for crumbs after most of the Career Politicians have finished pandering to their special interests, lined their pockets, and taken care of their favorite foreign country.

We should be first.

I would do that. I would hold America in the position of First and Foremost, with the needs of the Citizens and Legal Immigrants supporting America coming in right behind. I don’t have any special interests (except for model railroading, but that’s another story…) and I certainly don’t hold any other country in higher esteem than I do the Great Nation of the United States of America.

Weight loss update: Due to a glitch in my eating habits, I’m actually down to 219 this morning. That does not portend a loss; rather, it indicates that I didn’t eat much yesterday. Her highness, little miss MEG, was having issues with the bottles, and did not want to be set down. So, I spent a lovely morning holding her, and watching movies, while TMBWitW was at class. Greybeard over at Pitchpull dropped a nice comment in Friday‘s post regarding my good looks; we tossed some weight-loss stuff back and forth a bit. I’ve got to start working on better eating habits and exercising more (actually, any is more than what I’m doing now…).

That should do it for this edition of This, That, and Sundry.

(made you look!)

Oh, and no updates on the job situation yet. I have an interview with a custom shop on Monday; it sounds like a nice little shop to get involved with. Your prayers and thoughts are received with glad tidings.

Thank you for stopping by, God bless you all, Wear Red on Fridays, and write in Cary Cartter for President in 2008!

    I wish you only the best Cary with your job search brother…

    The good Lord will take care of you and that I’m certain. You’re a good man with a BIG heart and great things will be your blessing.

    Our time is not the same as the heavenly fathers as you are well aware of. Be patient, I’m sure he’s got your ‘6’. 🙂

    Semper Fi.

    Thanks, bro. Your prayers mean a lot to me.

    I am sure, as are we all, that the Good Lord has the perfect position for me; it’s just a matter of continuing to look until it is pointed out to me.

    Yes, He certainly does have my 6 – and my 12, and my 3, and my 9.

    That would make you an ‘all around’ great guy wouldn’t it?

    My clock hands got stuck together at high noon a long time ago…

    Got this spring board and plastic bird that shoots out between my ears that keeps going “coo-coo coo-coo”

    I knew there was something about you I really, really liked.

  5. comment number 5 by: Tom

    Good Luck, I put my name out there too..I’d just like to see elections for people that are not already bought and paid for!!

  6. comment number 6 by: cary

    I agree with you there, Tom – seeing the interest of the American Citizens being sold up the river is infuriating – and unless someone who is actually in touch with the American People gets into a leadership role, then we are all without a paddle…

    I think that my daddy would make the greatest president in the world and it would benefit american society to have a president with such common sence as well as someone who knows the people and lives like the rest of us do without the billion dollar home and all the extras of rich living

    From Gunz-‘Got this spring board and plastic bird that shoots out between my ears that keeps going “coo-coo coo-coo”‘
    That’s hilarious!

    I like the Cartter is Smarter button.
    Custom cabinetry?

    Take care Cartter.
    FTGF!

    There you have it, folks! An unbiased, ringing endorsement!

    Thank you, Cimarron! Your words mean a lot to me. You will be missed when you move to Idaho…

    Daniel – Yeah, that Gunz keeps us all in stitches. Mike himself said he liked the Cartter is Smarter button, too. Feel free to steal it.

    Custom cabinetry would have been nice. No call back, no interview. One of these days, I will have my own shop. Until then, I’ll have to fill in with something else…

    Ok, thanks.
    I’ve had to rework my website, just put your link back up.

    FTGF!

    Yeah he does, great guy with a great sense of humor and a loyal Marine!
    He cracks me up!

    I almost took a job in custom cabinetry. Stick framed construction brought home my bacon.
    I used to work at an Electronics firm too and then into paint manufacturing.
    Good luck and Godspeed!

    FTGF!

    Cary – you are the only one out there that makes sense and “We the People” are getting a little tired of all the Special Interests!
