COnfessions of a MAD Antique Dealer

Barry Goldwater, who was a real conservative says"

Tue, 13 May 2008 06:14:51 GMT

That if everyone who was having an affair and cheating on their spouse, or in any other way was fooling around...was made to quit.....there would be no one left in WASHINGTON....he and William O Douglas had a lot to say that would seem that they might have had a crystal ball..and could see into the future. Their comments seems to be very fitting in what is happening today..in this BUSh adminishorroration.

I got a late start tonight, and just got over yesterdays allergy attack...so I will post pone most of my plan blog....I do want to comment on the horrors of the week. Cyclones, Earthquakes.....which I sort of predicted...but logically, not psychically... There was the volcano that went off in SOuth America....and usually soon after one of them goes office, there is an earth quake on the other side of the world....very soon after.. The planet lost so far this week over 100,000 people maybe much more. AOl had a listing of ten earthquakes that were in the past....CHINA lost millions..over the centuries....what if they didn't die..what would the population be today then...so much more.....Maybe, the earth weeds out people, like hunters cull out deer...to protect the "human herd" Diseases help this process as well. and thirdly, war continues the process.... Seems part of a package...I do not know how to figure quickly..but if we can go back to the Revolutionary war....war of 1812, French and INDIAN Wars,Civil War,Spanish American WAr, WW1,2 and Korean, Viet Nam and the two IRAQs...how many of our people died....???? Here and abroad?? WW@ the planet lost over 50, million people......Lets say over the many centuries,,,their were no plagues, no wars...the population of PLANET EARTH might be 4 times or more than what it is now...and we would be all starving to death.?.

Nothing very exciting happened today..we did get in a very nice banded inlay Chippendale DR table and 6 carved chairs...and...a breakfront...BRAND NAMES. American used designer furn.....Had two people in today...I hope they do not read the blog,,,,,,but then again, if they do, I am hoping they have a sense of humor....they told me a few times how religious they were..and how GOD judges them...and their "word" but, doesn't GOD see how they eat peoples heart out...and their annoying personality.....isn't that a bad trait.....? But they were funny and I wasn't mad and they did buy something.... But the conversation was GOD this and GOD that....and according to the BIBLE...you know...the bible gets us into all these messes ...and then its followed by war and economic failures and horrors... Please ask your GOD to mind his own business and stay out of the affairs of man...MANY an atheist is a good person....and many who follow their region following it to the "word of the"law will go out and lie and steal...and screw you in business.... But Religion is a natural outgrowth of our own biology..meaning.....our brain function..is such, that our personality is normally superstitious...and even ME....knowing logically that superstitious is foolish...still have them..thank GOD (knock on wood)..... Its built in... and forming religion is a natural outgrow of how our brain was formed. We cannot answer all questions, we cannot accept the fact that we are alone....so we great a GOD and Religion for answers...and to have this invisible friend in "heaven" whose location is yet to be found, that we can talk to and pray too and beg for favors and forgiveness, health and happiness. and guidance in picking special numbers to win the lottery.

Today we all shared lunch....I bought avocados,tuna, and the guys brought in tomatoes,onion, cilantro...and we make tuna mole....or guacatuna.. All the ingredients that you would use in a good tuna fish salad...and all the ingredients that you would use in guacamole......mix both salalds into one...add some HOT sauce...and you have tuna mole...squeeze a little lime on it..and its great...you also can put some grated cheese..mozzarella or even a charp cheddar..wrap in in a burrito skin and put it the microwave or oven till warm....hmmmmmm

WOW did I have a headache today-still do

Mon, 12 May 2008 02:21:25 GMT

OK, I didnt pay my dues to the NHS (National Hypochonriac Society)...but I am still allowed to kvetch...I woke up wioth burning eyes, which turned into a throbbing headace....under my scalp....There pollen in the air today was actually visible...and covered my two cars with a yellowish green haze. There was also some kind of stringy brown stuff floating around, and piling up in the driveway. I took two aspirins, which hardly did any good.

Mothers days traditionally is lousy in business...but we did sell a few items. and did 6 times what we did last SUNDAY, which wasn't enough for two people to go to a decent place to eat and have a bottle of wine.

I am going to close here, but tomorrow night, I have some great quotes from people .....BARRY GOLD WATER(a republican) and WILLIAM O DOUGLAS Chief Justice of the SUPREME COURT....a liberal.......Their quotes will be aimed at GEORGE BUSH and the rest of his neo nazis Corporative Criminals. Hitler had the KRUPP family...we have Halleburton,The Carlyle GROUP, Bectel, and all ot hers who benefit from war..DID I mention EXXON MOBIL...how could I forget them. So tune in tomorrow...and I will tell you the adventures of those two, and MR STINKFOOT came to MAHWAH....(if you do not know who he is...you will have to go back into the GRANNY ATTIC archives....

Day before mothers day,35AntiBUSH Bumper stickers, Rupert Murdoch etc

Sun, 11 May 2008 02:23:19 GMT

It was the day before Mothers day....and all the people were at the malls....we had a bunch of people measuring...which may or may not be good...This was far from a good day before a holiday...but then again, business in most places isn't good. The florists, the candy stores, JEWELERS, and some clothing places are dong well...tomorrow, will be the busiest day of the year for restaurants.....but other stores...are suffering thanks to the economy created by the DUMB MONSTER in the WHITE HOUSE. and in reference to him I hope you enjoy the next 35lines, sent to my by one of my wonderful online friends.

I just heard on the radio, that RUPERT MURDOCH is not going to buy another NEW YORK NEWSPAPER....NewdaysDAY...good...But what is happening, when one person(or group) buys up another part of the media, they will censor the news,control the news, decide who to present the news..and it will be NEWS choreographed by one mind set...and we will never get enough of the truth....we will not get another view point. Eventually, the government will tie in with the media moguls and all will be lost. We have to be very careful to keep the Internet FREE. Free from control, free from censorship, and open to opposing viewpoints. Let us say MURDOCH was a staunch liberal, which he is ot, he might support his candidate, push his agenda, and bad mouth and scandalize everyone else...we must educate ourselves and out children to be aware of this, and to keep our eyes , heart and mind open....

RAIN, New way of burial(yeech)Auction?

Sat, 10 May 2008 02:06:33 GMT

Rained all day, and all my fragile customers stayed home.. I went out to try to make a deal to auction off a huge furniture store that is supposedly moving, and not going out of business......because they lost their lease. I did find that they did loose their lease and the entire block....is being torn down......a fabulous 120,000 foot store...with another 100,00 feet of other businesses..is being destroyed for another strip mall. More Korean NAIL LADIES, a CHINESE restaurant, a Friggin Star BUCKS, a pizza joint, a drug store, a dollar store, a beauty parlor,at least one store to sell sneakers and clothes, MORE OF THE SAME more and more and more.. and no interesting stores. Why not an Eskimo Restaurant, an Enema Parlor, A body piercing salon, A small porn shop for octogenarians, A JEWELRY store that make things from various discarded body parts, like bones and hair and nails, A pet shop that only sells dangerous and poisonous pets,an old fashion HEAD shop form the 1960's with psychedelic posters and paraphernalia..only as "collectibles" and not to be used.... A food shop that sells the weird foods that is shown on tv.....Where the host travels all over the world eating horrible things we wouldn't and couldn't..like worms, bugs, stinky tofu, chicken uterus on a stick and chicken ass kebobs, yak penis, 1000 year old eggs, bar b qued locusts, friend grasshopper and ants,,,etcetc (all the above that I mention was not a joke but from the TV PROGRAM)...Yes, we need a mall with strange and interesting stores. HOW ABOUT A SMALL SHOP that sells games and toys for adults.....Checkers, chess,backgammon, board and card games, darts, etc etc....

But please no more strip malls. We have enough fast food places...enough Pizza places...and all of that crap...it only dilutes the money that any place can make.....it weakens business as a whole to have too many of the same businesses...then no one makes money.

IN the news today they discussed a new way of burial...sounds disgusting, but then again does throwing someone in a hole to rot sound so good, or being thrown into a fire to be burned to a crisp sound so wonderful....but the new way....they put the body in a tank with lye and water and then heat it up under pressure...and they turn the body into a doody brown syrup....yep, they melt you down to a liquid, except for a few bones, and flush you down the drain.. Something more disgusting about that....but hey, when your dead your dead...and does it really matter....only to the living...But since we do not live forever....and we have to die and our molecules and atoms have to reunite with the universe..where underground, turning to ashes and scattered, or flushed down the drain...to eventually go out to sea......the most minute of particles re-enters the life cycle. And I don't think it matters which way they dispose of us....if there is reincarnation, it is of the spirit and not the flesh. The spirit will just reenter a new "home", a new body to inhabit for its next incarnation...if it does exist..and if it doesn't ...then...who cares, this is it baby..and enjoy it while you can. I had another thought....and I do not know if its any sicker than the other ones.. The body could be dehydrated....well at least the flesh, dried and powdered.. The Powder could be added to a recipe with eggs, flour, spices and made into little cakes or cookies.....and given to family to eat. Then they could say that they have their relative within them...it becomes part of them......which is true. Som e of the protein would enter their body and become part of them....and of course, some would turn to shit. There are tribes ..very primitive tribes that do practice this.. They don't make the flesh into cakes, but eat it like brisket in sauce, maybe with a side order of fries.... I really think this is bizarre....but if you take the time and don't get emotional....your relative becomes part of you. Doesn't really sound that bad. So this opens the opportunity to have a combination funeral parlor restaurant...where only the mourners can eat.... It is only sick because it is not our culture...But there are many thing in our culture and other cultures that are foreign to each other. There are those who feel that circumcision is cruel and primitive...and the HASSIDICS actually used to have the MOHEL(rabbi or guy who performs the schmekelectomy) bit off the excess..This is true...A MOHEL IN MONSEY was arrested two years ago for transmitting a disease to a child that way, and its now forbidden) Look at the POLYGAMIST..the one 67 year old guy who has over 20 wives and countless kids( how he can afford them is another mystery)

The phone drove me nuts today.....Recipes,etc,THE CYCLONE TRADEDGY

Wed, 07 May 2008 04:46:56 GMT

Today I got more junk phone calls.....than any ot her day ever.....Immediately in the morning...I got two calls from INDIAN MEN....talking about the Internet Yellow pages..we usually get a few calls a week, but not two in one day.....and I AM ON THE NO CALL LIST....I will not repeat what I told them, except....it included flying to INDIA with a knife,, and that I would have their body parts removed if they ever call again. Then there were two similar calls from women, one again INDIAN and the other one....maybe American...... Then there was an offer of borrowing 250,000dollars for a business loan...I pushed the ONE button and got connected to a "representative" who I told to "go fuck your self...I am on the NO CALL LIST""and he got all flustered and said....really I will suck your dick....."when he heard what he said he said..."NO I MEAN........."I hung up before he was able to straighten out his phrases and his mind...and there were three more such calls....another one was from an alternate PHONE COMPANY, and another from a CREDIT card company who wanted to give me a bet ter deal......and every few minutes, the phone rang for something..and some times two and three at a time.... It was phone madness.

I had wanted to post photos of SUSAN and FRANKS BABY but I cant do it from this computer, or..maybe its the program.....Today I got up a littler earlier to go to VOTWE for the local election..but to my surprise the election wasnt today.......So I called myself schmuck a few times and went to work. Didnt buy anything much today ..but a very nice oak dresser, all refinished with an oval mirror.....u[pon instpection, we think we had sold this 20 years ago at an auction.....it was our "finish"....and out repro hardware.

Adult entertainment superstar Ron Jeremy has surfaced on the PETA website, in a video interview where he opines on what KFC should do to make their food more cruelty free. Jeremy, a man who's no stranger to the phrase "finger-lickin' good", wants the Colonel to raise his prices by a few cents a bucket and invest in more humane farming techniques.

ROM JEREMY PORN STAR REPRESETS PETA IN ANTI CRUELTY

While it remains to be seen how much influence Jeremy will have over the chicken-eating public, he and PETA are a nice fit - an organization committed to public nudity in a good cause, and a man whose drumstick is already familiar to millons of adult film enthusiasts. Can we expect to see Ron crouched naked in a cage in Covent Garden in the near future? And is it weird to be looking forward to that?

RECIPE FOR AN INTERESTING DISH.....Strange Chicken SAlad

In a deep bowl, put chunks of boiled or roast chicken, one inch pieces, ad cubes of ripe avocado,crumbled blue cheese, blue cheese dressing, tobasco sauce, table spoon of finely chopped onion, tablespoon of fresh chopped cilantro,(optional) a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil...

Another options: Instead of other saauces or cheeses, use a teriaki ginger dressing......

I ask all the BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS, and other religious fundamentalists...WHERE WAS YOUR GOD DURING THE CYCLONE.......??

POLISH JOKE? I visited the BAR in Star wars.Really!

Fri, 09 May 2008 02:01:52 GMT

Upside-Down House (Syzmbark, Poland)
This upside down design seems totally nonsensical–but that is exactly the message the Polish philanthropist and designer, Daniel Czapiewski, was trying to send. The unstable and backward construction was built as a social commentary on Poland’s former Communist era. The monument is worth a trip be it for a lesson in history or balance.

There is a lot of news into nights media blizt...but before I go there....I want to tell you all about my trip to South Jersey.....to buy fabulous things for the store...A certain fabulous custom maker of reproduction antiques is leaving America......and we are trying to buy them out....well, at least of their best stuff. I am not going to lsit all the great things until they are IN THE STORE....but the best part of the day, was eating in a FAMILY STYLE TRUCK STOP. Now, I do not know what kind of family they had in mind. The people in there really all were unique...and I curse myself for forgetting my camera..for it would have been one hell of a blog tonight..IT LOOKED LIKE THE BAR in the First Star Wars Movie...when young HArrison FORD sat down to have a drink.....and all the creatures in the bar were from other planets....and had three eyes and a nose on top of their heads...and some were green , or purple.....well if you don't remember look it up on you tube. And then there was JABBA the HUT who followed. Well, I think Jabba the HUTS cousins were there tonight...along with the GREAT PUMPKIN. One man, with a stomach that must have been a size 75(no exaggeration) more than twice my waist....maybe even 100 inches....came in wearing AN ORANGE TEE SHIRT. WHEN YOU LOOK LIKE A FUCKING PUMPKIN YOU DO NOT WEAR ORANGE.......... i DIDNT LAUGH, BUT TOLD ERIC, just turn around, the GREAT PUMPKIN IS HERE.....and he did....and his eyes almost popped out of his head and he put his hands over his mouth.....and to add a little color to this pix, he was wearing cut off short pants and a BLUE TOOTH phone. in his ear.

Then there were a few TRUCKERS who were over 60 years old with long hair down to their shoulders...or longer.....almost everyone had a pronounced pot belly....There was one young trucker,, very fat.....with cut off slevers and short...who was quite loud..he was telling another guy at the next table the story of his life...how he got a girl pregnant and she was to have twins....and then she was in an accident and the twins died, and she killed herself....and then he ran away...to the "open road" I swear I was expecting a country singer to come out of the wood work with his guitar and start putting his tragedy to music.......One truck looked like a grey haired Charles Manson...with "those eyes" Our Waitress and the other waitress were both chewing yellow bubble gum, clicking as they chewed and occasionally blowing bubbles. I commented to Eddie what bad waitress they were and how low class....when he reminded me, "What do you expect, you are in a truck stop.

THE FOOD. The hot rolls came out....cold, but were covered with stickey HONEY...something I never had before, but I have heard of HONEY BUNS....I ordered sirloin steak, medium rare...super sized..which meant, that for 4.99 you get a second steak,,,the first one was 10.99 or around there..The potatoes and corn were cold and not very good, but to my surprise the steak came out perfect....and extremely tender, no fat, good size and had great seasoning on it... For dessert I tried their home style apple pie.... I was shocked to get a piece of pie that was not home style. it was HOME MADE.. Fresh apples, not over cooked and not too sweet. and for a mere 1.99 and if I wanted....ice cream was only 50cents more.

The menu had a Southern flare....Hillbilly...I guess it was 140 miles from Bergen COUNTY..and the get lots of Southern and Western Truckers.... they even had scrapple on the menu...scrapple is.Scrapple is a savory mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and flour, often buckwheat flour. The mush is formed into a loaf, and slices of the scrapple are then fried before serving. Scraps of meat left over from butchering, too small to be used or sold elsewhere, were made into scrapple to avoid waste. Scrapple is best known as a regional food of Delaware, South Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland There are parts of the animal you just wouldn't eat...ears, snouts, ass holes, fat, and other nasty parts...but by the time they get done with it, and add this and that and spices,, its supposed to be very good. I will taste it next time, and if I survive , I will give you all a report.

shirley temple? NO, My GOD CHILD IN HUNGARY, Jennas Wedding,JEWISH Geneology

Wed, 07 May 2008 21:59:47 GMT

That Gorgeous little girl above is not Shirley Temple, but in my humble opinion really looks like her. She is non other than, my GOD child...SUSAN ANN in Veresegehaz, a suburb of Budapest, as HOHOKUS is a Suburb of NYC. He baby brother DANIEL, was born just two days ago..and eventually I will figure out how to put his picture on the blog...and his adoring and adorable mother SUSAN.

My sister called me today, filled with jubilation and excitement....I thought maybe she won the lottery, or a bag of money was thrown from a passing BRINKS truck and landed on her lawn. BUT, the news is quite interesting...The people that I met in HUNGARY two years ago, who shared the same name as my Grandmothers maiden name.....continued to do research to see if we were related. I agreed to meet them by a statue in the park...of....I think it was Franz List...... Frank, the DADDY of Shirly TEMPLE and DANIEL.....sat with me on a wonderful perfect day... At some point I looked up and saw an attractive woman, who very much resembled my sister strolling down the auto-less street, or mall. "Frank, I bet thats her....thats GABBY...look at her, she looks like a slightly younger ARLENE...the cheek bones,m the facial structure...." I walked up to her and asked, "Are You GABBY?"......YES!!! How did you know....."You really look like family....my siter Arlene ( with whom she had communicated by email" After a few laughs, we went to a wonderful restaurant to eat...."(what else do JEWS do when they get together. They eat, and eat some more, and then tell stories of real estate deals that they could have, wouldhave, and should have made.." GAbby emailed Arlene that they somehow found papers....documents of my Great Grandparents...(and they got the names right..there o doubt" and a marriage certificate of EMIL, one of my Grandmothers older brothers...18 years her senior... SO we are related....but at this point I am not sure how GABBY and We are related....besides the high cheek bones, the hazel eyes (with a twinkle) and the nose. Another co incidence is that her CHILDREN go to a JEWISH SCHOOL that was set up by ESTEELAUDER FOUNDATION........and the coincidence is that Estee Lauder grew up in the same house as my mother in BROOKLYN, on OCEAN Parkway......Her Father was UNCLE JOHNS brother, who married my Mothers AUNT ANNA....I think they all lived in that house with a HUNGARIAN Great Grandmother on my GRANDFATHERS SIDE...and GABBY was on my GRANDMOTHERS SIDE.....
Now just look at those punims (Yiddish word for faces....actually its also HEBREW..with the "IM" ending.Those are two of the cutest faces on the planet..almost too cute to be real...and now, becuase of polution, they are endangered....The eucalyptus trees suffer from the Carbon in the air...and...Those threes are the only source of food and water that these KOALAs get. No trees no bears...so damn sad.....We just have to figure out how to clean up the planet...The first step is to rid our selves of REPUBLICAN POLUTION....big corporations that pollute.....not that, Democrats cant pollute..I willnot be just one sided.

I was snubbed.....I was not invited to the wedding......and I heard that it is being held under a huppa, with Glatt Kosher caterers......but then again, you know how rumors are...And I just can hear GEORge W say to his daughter...Ma-zeel tuff you all!!

I only wish her what ever happyness she deserves..and I am not the one who decides this...The GREAT SPIRIT.....will not blame her for the sins of her father and grandfather and great grandfather...I wish her to rise up, and give unto the world something, to soften the blow of the pain and suffering her family has caused. My she live and prosper and produce a child, that might rise to theoccasion to bring great and positive change to the planet..and make up for the damage her DNA has done before her. Let the futer member of the dynasty produce something wonderful, positive and uplifting. And it will come to pass. This is a prohesy.... You can say you saw it here first....if you are lucky enough to be around. AMEN

BOYCOTT EXXON MOBIL AND WALMART.....THEY ARE BOTH VERY EVIL

Eagle to get NEW Beak Arron Burrs Relative was here, CinqoDe MAYO"what a DAY"&night

Tue, 06 May 2008 01:00:17 GMT

I am so friggen pissed. I wrote a huge BLOG and AOl...somehow lost it......so I have to write it again, and I hope that I will be able to repeat what I said...Lets start with the man in the photo...the rock star looking guy, who really resembles the late great FRANK ZAPPA....he is not famous, but one of his relatives was....He is the great, great, great, great..(how have no idea how many greats....because I for got to ask) grandson of Aaron Burr.....the Man...who shot Alexander Hamilton in a duel...yes, we Americans had duels, not just the French...but usually, when there was an insult, the duel was fought by "seconds" stand in....like movie doubles...and no one, really ever got hurt..Well MR BURR, either really was revengeful, or his bad aim, was too good. and Alexander Hamilton, the founder of PATERSON NJ..the first Industrial Center in the USA....was shot dead..You can see his portrait...there is a bit of a resemblance....to the man who was third VP under Jefferson...and whose father was the 2nd President of PRINCETON UNIVERISTY...... Now the ROCK STAR...Burr, came today to vishis family who live in HOHOKUS....yep, Aaron was dating the woman who lived in what is now HOHOKUS....She lived on the Franklin Turnpike, which was already there....prior to the American Revolution.......in HOHOKUS...it had various names over the years....and the house where she lived...is now the HERMITAGE MUSEUM.....one of the three attractions that HOHOKUS has to offer...The other two attractions....the HOHOKUS INN, which is on the corner of MAPLE AVe and FRANKLIN TPK, which was a stage coach stop...inn and restaurant even back then...and GRANNYS ATTIC...the largest antique store in NJ... OK...back to AaronBurr....he and his family eventually lived in Bergen County and still live in HOHOKUS.....I found this out when he gave me his credit card....I commented on his name and we went into a hyst erical historical conversation..

Today is MAY 5th, or better known as CINCO DE MAYO, a holiday for celebration by Mexicans....from Mexico and all around the world..Most people, including MEXICANS think its Mexican INDEPENDENCE DAY...well its not....and even Mexicans, who are not terribly educated thinks it is too. Its a day of celebration, invented in the state of Puebla....someone thought they just needed a holiday...to party and this was invented for celebrating both sadness and happiness......that is the way one Mexican person told me tonight.....so....in celebration of sadness and happiness, the BOYS and JOHN and I went to a RESTAURANT called teh CINCO DE MAYO in Waldwick, maybe a mile from the HERMITAGE MUSEUM, that I mentioned above...right on the FRANKLIN TPK....the same street my MAHWAH store is on.....of course Aaron Burr never went there for tacos or guacamole.....because at that time, there were probably bears and Indians living on the spot now occupied by the strip mall it is in......and Mexican food was unknown in these parts.....

The Restaurant was jumping..People were waiting on line outside..Music was blasting..and colorful helium balloons were everywhere....we were told that there was a 45 minute wait.....which didn't bother me because I wasn't hungry....the guys had brought their six packs of CORONAS (Mexican beer into which you put a squeeze of fresh lime) and I was really happy for the owners, because they had not been doing well in this economy. We waited, talked and joked....and commented on the amount of people who are morbidly obese.. I don't mean fat...I mean, people who couldn't get into a phone booth to make an emergency call...or if they got in and ate a jellybean, they wouldn't be able to get out. I think cell phones were invented by fat people. People who were to fat to get into a phone booth without getting stuck....makes sense...necessity is the mother of invention..Now I am not making fun of fat people...not with MY BELLY... I was asked if I was having twins.....or what is my due date......

We waited for the table, and then we waited for the food...we waited and waited and waited...But I almost fell asleep..I wasn't even hungry...I enjoyed the party atmosphere...it was happy, it was joyous...people brought their own wine, and tequila(with the worm) There were people with jars of SANGRIA....Everyone was happy...which was so nice....and what was even nicerwas my analysis of the situation..We Americans were there, celebrating the holiday of another culture..A culture that is always in the news getting berated as illegal aliens. People calling them illegal, criminals, people who want things for nothing.....and all negative dialogue....but here...I saw assimilation....Acceptance...enjoyment....they were embracing the Mexican culture, the food, the joy, the music,.......But we should not only accept them, but learn from them. They are truly hard working people. They are pleasant, kind, and joyous. The know how to share...They know how to say please and thank you....and mean it. They work their asses off for little pay, and send much of their earnings to support theri mother and father, or even wife and children. They will share a room with many others, give up their own pleasures and privacy, for family.... Its seems that the average people have more respect for them than you think. But there are those....who say horrible things....including jail them and even some really horrible trash say...shoot them...and you know...There are HELICOPTERS who fly over the RIO GRANDE...and they have machine guns..and they do shoot these poor sweet people, as if they were escaped convicts, or wild game. And of COURSE, a lot of this is in the GREAT STATE OF TEXAS, home of the most hated president that our COUNTRY EVER HAD...and I guess, if you all studied history..we stole TEXAS and other states from the MEXICANS......so in reality, they have as much right to be here as we do...and maybe more.. Again I repreat..we all can learn from them... Learn Generosity, kindness, work ethic, the concept of sharing, humility.;;;;;;;take a good look my friends and learn... I think a lot of my blog readers do no need to be preached to...I think most of you think like I do.

The next photo, of an Eagle that was shot by a hunter......who was found starving to death....but was hand fed by kind people for a few years....and now, medical technologist are building him a new prosthetic beak...which is really great... The eagle is the symbol of our great country....but, how many people.....also need prosthetic to walk(etc).isnt there anyone out there that might help a human.......I guess helping a human isn't as newswothy as helping an eagle......Back to the hunters....I hate them...The masculine guys wit h little dicks, who have to kill animals, and bring trophy's home to show they ar a man...and....use logic..."they are culling the herd" to make them stronger....and while if we are talking about deer, it might be true....don't tell me they don't get their jollies killing those animals.....then there are those who kill bears for fun too...there is no heard to cull...and yesterday someone shot 5 sea lions who were caged....and ready to be moved out the way of salmon fishermen.....they were shot and killed in cages.....hunters again....if I had my way..and I am a revengeful bastard (although I never ever have seeked revenge..just fantasize about it like many people) I would shoot of the little penis of these hunters....and make sure they live a long life as a dickless wonder....that would be good punishment for them.....

The last entry wil be about the photo of the above group of people..with a church...in front of them Well the Vatican decided today...that a little girl in the 1600's saw a vision of the VIRGIN MARY....so this week, the VAtician deicded she really did see MARY....and to celelbrate the vision they all got togetehr on the same spot.. I will fill you in tomorrow with more details....I wonder why it took them 400 years to make a decision......I guess the girl is no longer around to argue with.....Today, I am sure they would haveput her on anti psychotic medications for hallucinatory episodes....and even BUSH..said GOD told him to invade the midEAST....he should be on medication for hearing voices......yes heavy medication.......I personally would have perscribed Arsenic...but PAcil, or Thorazene might do.? But as much as a trash BUSH..t he real Darth Vader of the BUSH ADMINISTRATION is CHENEY, KARL ROVE and RUMSFELD......pray they all will be gone soon...

Made a dish from stuff laying around....New Poem

Mon, 05 May 2008 03:58:01 GMT

Many of the recipes that I invent...or create...came into being because I wanted to make something....and I looked in the fridge, and the cabinets...and tried to crate something from what was laying around.. I had some cooked sausage in the fridge today...some onions, a bag of frozen spinach, a can of GOYA pink beans......Here goes.....I sauteed some garlic and onions in extra virgin olive oil. Then I added the can of drained beans..(large can) the 3/4 of a bag of frozen spinach...Then I threw in the sausage(Italian).. then for what ever reason, I added some balsamic vinegar, water...simmered it for a while...then I added a slice and a half of whole wheat bread in little pieces...almost like dumplings.....the final addition was salt and HUNGARIAN spicy Paprika paste....Don't ask me why I decided to add the bread and vinegar...but it WORKED....When I served this dish....I added some more vinegar. The Cubans would have added some chopped onions and virgin olive oil and grated fresh garlic right on top... What ever you want to call this dish...it was great. I would add some baking soda the next time I make it...it will cut out some of the "gas"

To make this dish again, I think I would add some green pepper and celery...and even risk the addition of some cilantro. NOW, to make it healthier, eliminate the sausage...or ham...and make it vegetarian......it will be just as delicious.... You can serve this bean stew over your favorite rice.....But don't forget to add a few tablespoon of balsamic vinegar on top when serving....and if you want to become LATINO...add the virgin olive oil,chopped onions and garlic too. The Brazilians have a dish called Feshuada(I dont know if this is correct spelling or not)...and this dish resembles it in a way.......

Not much happened today business wise....I even went upstairs in MAHWAH today and fell asleep for an hour and half...while GLEN held down the store....with NOTHING TO HOLD DOWN. BORING.... very few people came in......

If I close my eyes

and drift away

while gently dreaming

sleeping

exiting this dimension

for another

leaving

one illusion

for another

possibly finding

reality

on another plain

mental

and

physical pain

terminate

new life germinates

the need for greed

ego

not existing

Time, and space

bends in on itself

will quickly bring

those loved ones

into my circle

instantly

warmth of spirits

intermingling

needing nothing

but each other

to bring eternal bliss

Aunt MArgie, Old people rock,Brocolirabe THE BEST

Sat, 03 May 2008 01:44:36 GMT

Many years ago, when I was in high school, Aunt Marge lived upstairs from Judy and SEYMOUR.....and even then Seymour was an antiquated name..Judy was my friend, and her brother Seymour was different than any people that I knew in his looks, behavior, speech pattern and attitude. He was into antiques, which was something I knew nothing about, didn't care about, and actually had a distaste for old and smelly furniture...that reminded me of Victorian funeral parlors.

When I visited JUDY, Aunt Margie , who lived upstairs, always seemed to make an entrance...she was a very kind sweet lady, with always something nice to say to everyone.. I think she had a new baby then...who is now 56...and I was maybe 16 or 17 at that time. That same Aunt MArgie, eventually became the only honest mayor of PASSAIC NJ and served several terms....the city had a hard time handling honesty, and eventually she stopped running... SHe was in the store today...looking like the same aunt Marge, except with grey hair. Same style, few wrinkles.. I commented on how she forgot to get older.. I asked her you must be what 67 or 68 by now...she laughed and said...I was in my thirties when you were 16....no MAURY I am 85.....she dresses like a young woman as well..she seems fit, her voice is young and crisp. Had I been wearing a wig...it would hav eflipped. JOHN, too, took a step backwards and gave a long "wow' which is very demonstrative for him.

MArgie is 85 and has a booth in an antique center....She is now a dealer...and just loves the beauty she finds in antiques....as I do. I am not in it for just the money (what money??I lost over 22K last year) She refuses to get old......My Aunt IRMA opened up an antique doll shop when she was 88 in SAN FRANCISCO.....her bother DAVID closed his antique store when he was 96 in the same city and MRS HABERNICKEL from Ridgewood, the founder of HABBAND PANTS......lives in is over 100 years old and she still goes toto the beauty parlour every week and still collects dolls.

One DAY Seymour.....was on the bus to NYC...and I got on....on my way to walk around Greenwich Village..as young people did in that day.... He was cordial, and I hadn't seen him since I entered college at least 3 years before...He asked what I was doing...and I said ..nothing really, just gong to hang out.....then he asked me to join him to visit an antique show at the Coliseum in NYC.....I thought,,WTF, I never went to one, why not and its free. ALl I can remember that I was bedazzled by all the wonderful things I saw....and in those days, they were REAL ANTIQUES not 1940's crap...that you see today.....there is one thing that I remember, The image is indelible in my brain...it was a Signed Tiffany Floor lamp....WISTERIA PATTERN on a bronze base...and I remember the price $5000. My parents house at that time was maybe 18 to 20,000...and MAURY LUBMAN, a kid in college, home for the summer, had the audacity to even think that "this someday will be worth a million dollars". And it did come to pass, that that lamp.today woul d be worth that. I remember wishing that I had the money to buy it..I had the foresight, but not the coinage. OH WELL! But, it was the background for later in the antique world.

Back to Broccoli rabe...OMG....I just finished a bowl of one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten....and how simple. I cooked the broccoli like last night.ANd drained it. I added humus..... a can of chick peas drained, about 1/3 equal amount of sesame paste, some toasted sesame seeds, a few sprinkle of dried cilantro, salt and MEXICAN Chipolete salsa(sauce) you can use Tabasco too. Tonight I forgot the onions... I put it in the food processor it was thick, and slowly thinned it out....Then I added a few large tablespoon full to the drained broccoli.....It was incredible......If I ever open a restaurant this will be a staple on the menu.
