Events

On Christmas Eve I cashed that $50.00 dollar check I wrote about a few days ago. I fifty brand new one dollar bills and then went to downtown Tampa and gave 5 homeless people $10.00 each. Three of then very very happy and grateful while two seemed somewhat indifferent.
Anyhow I was happy to bring them some joy.

Christmas was good, however not being with family this year made it seem like any other day for the most part. This was only the 3rd time in the 19 years I have lived in Florida that I have not been with family. Seems weird.

Over in the middle east things are getting heated again. The moronic leaders of Hamas having been launching rockets into Israel on a daily basis for a long time and there had been no retaliation. This week Israel said stop or we will attack and it will be brutal. Well Israel stuck to it word and has been bombing the Gaza strip. How do the Palestian leaders fail to understand the history of Jewish people? How do they fail to realize that continued attacks on Israel will ultimately mean the end of any chance they have of getting a homeland. I agree with a lot of the Palestian demands however Israel has every right to exist and they are not going anyplace.
Israel has the military power to make you "go away" and you would be much better off if you worked with them if you want your own country. I'm just sayin........

Hope your Christmas was joyful even without close kin being near. It was a good thing you did with the $50.

5000 years of history has taught nothing to idiots trying to "destroy" Israel. They surely have a death wish.

Christmas was joyful overall, no complaints. Giving the money felt good. Heck if somebody saves a buck a week then they can do this also.

I am of the opinion that thay both deserve what they get at this point. So many people have tried to help and they usually ignore it all.
