Personally I don&#8217;t believe such nonsense and even if it is true there isn&#8217;t a darned thing anyone can do about it. We all just need to keep on keeping on and hope for the best.</p>
<p>Today I found this interesting video about the Mayans, who are being held responsible for a lot of this scary stuff going around because of their calendar ending this December, so I wanted to share it here.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My old college roommates have been trying to get me to join them in a paintball game sometime really soon. We used to have a great time together when we were in college playing paintball on a regular basis. It was great exercise and loads of fun! After the game we would go to the local pub for a bite to eat and hang out and party the rest of the evening.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not even sure where my old paintball equipment is nowadays; I think I lost it along the way. If I&#8217;m going to get involved in playing again I&#8217;m going to have to think about buying it. The Ultimate Paintball store at pntball.com website is where I&#8217;ll be going to buy my new equipment if I decide to take the plunge and get back into it. They have free shipping and the best prices on the Internet. I see that the tippmann a5 set is on sale at half price right now, so that is a pretty strong incentive to pick it up now!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Contribution by Kennith Griffin</p>
<p>I usually don’t watch the news when I get home from work because it is all just so depressing. There are so many people getting shot and robbed and whatever else that I don’t even want to see what is going on out there in the world. I am only worried about what is going on in my world except when what happens out there happens a little too close to home. The other night I flipped on the tv when I got home and heard a story about a home invasion that happened not too far from my neighborhood. This of course caught my attention immediately and I started to worry about the family that was in the house. I thought it might be a good time to call <a href="http://www.homesecuritysystems.com/adt-home-security/Illinois/">ADT Security Illinois</a> to talk about getting an alarm system installed in our home. Even though an alarm can’t prevent something like that from happening it can hopefully deter someone who sees the sign in my front yard and if it doesn’t I can have the comfort that my systems is monitored and if I hit a panic button the police will be on their way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems that I just can&#8217;t get away from hearing so many depressing stories from people all around me that are suffering from one or more health conditions. I guess the older I get the older other people are getting and with age comes health issues, what a crazy vicious cycle of life that we are stuck in. It really makes me wonder what I am going to be in store for the older I get. I all ready deal with a few health problems, nothing serious but enough to keep me going to the doctors more often that I would like to be going.</p>
<p>Inflammation seems to be a great concern for many of us and I&#8217;ve been told about a product called <a href="http://www.nopalea.com">Nopalea</a> that is supposed to help your body neutralize it&#8217;s inner toxins which helps reduce it&#8217;s inflammation issues. Nopalea comes from the Nopal cactus and it has been used by native peoples for centuries. We can now benefit from this cactus ourselves these days, it comes in a 32 ounce bottle and you can receive a free bottle of this wellness drink by calling 1-800-206-0086 and only pay the shipping and handling charges in order to try it for yourself.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve all ready called for my free sample earlier today. I&#8217;ll let you know when I receive it and see how it tastes. I&#8217;m a pretty picker eater/drinker, if I can&#8217;t get it past my nose then there is no way it is going into my mouth, even if I know that it is something that is good for me and will benefit me well after I swallow it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Philadelphia Red Cross Car Donation is looking to assist with the  process of donating your car, truck, SUV, van, airplane, boat, timeshare, or motorcycle, which is a good way to dispose of your unwanted vehicles and can provide you with a nice tax write off for the year.</p>
<p>Since 2011 is now over and done with, all donations will be going towards the 2012 tax return season and I have several old vehicles here at the farm that are just wasting away and have decided to have them hauled off the property and donate them soon.</p>
<p>A very useful site can be found at Charitydispatch.com, they have vehicle donation specialist waiting 24/7 in order to help you with any questions or concerns regarding charity donations. They make it easy to find the charity of your choice in which to contact to discuss donations and I&#8217;m glad that they were able to hook me up with the Philadelphia Red Cross that is going to profit from my several vehicles that I&#8217;m looking to rid the farm of.</p>
<p>I wanted to wait until 2011 was over to start donating, I&#8217;m looking for all the tax write offs that I can find for next year and this will certainly make a difference for next year&#8217;s tax time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I ran across a very odd story about how men are proudly wearing pantyhose and a that new product called Mantyhose is now on the market specifically for men to wear, for a variety of reasons. It seems that men have been wearing women&#8217;s pantyhose for quite some time now, for support, comfort and aesthetic purposes.</p>
<p>This story stated that European men have been sporting hose for several years, but the trend has been slow to catch on in the U.S. Steven Katz, who is a co-owner of Ohio-based Comfilon came up with the idea for creating men&#8217;s pantyhose after surfing the Internet and finding complaints from men who were frustrated about their lack of options. Many men who wear &#8220;mantyhose&#8221; say it isn&#8217;t them or even other guys who are embarrassed -it&#8217;s mostly their wives and girlfriends.</p>
<p>The Atlanta-based Luxelegwear.com, which makes European hosiery brands available around the world, has sold 75 to 80 percent of its products to men since it started in 2005.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well yesterday was a little more work than I had planned on.  Some drunk lost control of his truck and ran off the road and through one of my fences.  Some of the cattle escaped the pasture.  So I had to spend several hours rounding up the escapees and moving them to a different pasture while I mended the broken fence.  This happens from time to time, so I always have the materials on hand to mend the fences, but it is always an aggravation when it happens.  I wish all cars and trucks had a meter in them that tested the breath of the driver and if they register as having too much alcohol in them the vehicle wouldn&#8217;t start.  It was a drunk driver that caused the accident that killed my parents, so I don&#8217;t have a lot of patience or empathy for any of them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With so many jobs being taken away due to so many of today&#8217;s technologies that have taken the place of jobs that have previously been handled by &#8220;real people&#8221; I am so glad to know that <a href="http://www.depotexas.com/depositionservices/courtreporting.html">Court Reporting</a> is still being done by humans. For some reason I really thought that Court Reporters were a thing of the past, so I was pleasantly surprised when I found that one of my nieces was going to work as one come the first of the year. It&#8217;s not the career that I envisioned her getting into but it certainly isn&#8217;t a bad choice for her at this point in her life.</p>
<p>I have always been one to refuse using those self check out options at all of the grocery stores for various reasons. The main one is that I would not like to see our cashiers jobs taken away. Too many jobs have been lost over these past several years and it doesn&#8217;t look like many jobs are going to be opening up any time soon. I have to admit that I also enjoy having someone to talk with and do the work for me!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love my sister, all of them actually, but my one sister, who lives in New Jersey has it in her head big time, and she is trying very hard to get me hooked up and married off. She has made this one of her lives missions and is constantly trying to get into my business.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not that I wouldn&#8217;t like to meet a young lady, but right now the farm is my priority and is taking up all of my time, effort, blood, sweat, tears, money and love. There just isn&#8217;t enough of me to go around the place.</p>
<p>Sis found someone in her hometown that has been utilizing an online Dating Site with over 30 years of experience by the name of Great Expectations &#8211; Summit, NJ. Her new friend had many positive things to say about how this company goes the extra mile for their clients and she has made many new friends, online and at local functions that they host frequently. Sis then found out that there is one of their offices in Richmond, VA, which isn&#8217;t far from the farm and she immediately sent me an email with all of their information and the link for the site.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll take a look around, might as well, just can&#8217;t promise anything, but it wouldn&#8217;t hurt to look since I spend what little extra time that I have online anyway.</p>
