10/29/2008 5:50:18 AM HEARTLAND VISIONING: Where is our community headed? Why is our community going into a downward spiral? What’s the answers? Which direction is our community to take? These and other questions are the meeting I attended to last night at Washburn University. This was my 1st meeting with the group, as I understand that there were many others. We received a booklet explaining the draft of strategic planning. I guess the planners will attempt to implement these plans later on down the road. With that in mind, let me explain how I participated. 1) I introduced myself and also shared my Jim Cates t-shirt off. 2) I told the folks about heritage.org and to trust but verify. 3) I told the folks (via a mic) about dave rmsey’s financial peace university Then I had to leave as I wanted to go get an executive workout at the Y downtown.

10/28/2008 4:42:59 AM OPTIONETICS: Yesterday I attended a 2 hour training session o how to successfully trade options. It was interesting. In fact , it was so interesting that I purchased the two day seminar and I’m now a life time member, along with my new found partner Vick. Wish me well.

10/26/2008 5:22:51 AM This last week has been an interesting week for me. It started out with the stock market taking a dive and is still diving. When will it end? Who knows. And with our financial position the answer is “Who cares” But I do care for those folks who have been taken by the greedy folks, whoever they might be. I guess if I were in public office (which I’m glad I’m NOT, I promise to go after those GREEDY slime balls and bring them to justice. Can the Topeka mayor’s office do that? We started the week by visiting our senior advisor , Roger Shumaker. Sally’s IRA is down 30 + % since this downfall. My advise to Sally is to stay in for the long haul with her portfolio. My portfolio has been into cash long before this market crash. I continue to paper trade and I’m very contented to do so. Later on this week, I made a Quicken will maker and had it witnessed by Charles Cusic & John Davis. Roger Shumaker agreed to be my executer. I had him read the will and he re

10/22/2008 4:37:44 AM FINANCES: Roger Shumaker is our senior financial advisor. Sally & I trust him with HER money. Yesterday we had a meeting with Roger and we discussed Sally’s money. I just listened. Roger likes to talk. In any event, Roger is of the opinion that our country’s finance will rebound. I share Roger’s sentiment. The glass is ½ full, and so are our finances. We’ve lost some money in the market, but we’re still eating and have each other. What more could one ask for? Yesterday I also started my physical therapy for my left shoulder. The official word for my ailment is cemented capsulitis or something like that. I call it “frozen” shoulder. I explained to the therapist my symptoms. I now have to do some more exercises at home. So many appointments, so little time. Guess I’ll need to resurrect my calendar… NAAW, I’ve my my official scheduler right next to me, named Sally. I called the IRS the other day to find out why our taxes were rejected. I forgot to

10/18/2008 6:14:16 AM I HAVE AN IDEA: (Plan A) I read with interest yesterday’s paper in our local paper regarding our mayor’s wishes and I have an idea. Sally get’s scared whenever I mention to her that I’ve got an idea. Her usual response is “You’ve always got an idea” or something to that. So, here’s my idea. Instead of having nine city council people making our decisions, let’s have four. The four civil servants serving our great city could be divided up into NW/NE/SE/SW and the quadrants would be divided by the Kansas river and Topeka Blvd. The elected officials would need be a Topekan and live in the quadrant they would represent. Come election time, the citizens would vote for ALL FOUR of the servants of our great city, the capital of Kansas, Topeka KS The next question would normally be, “What happens if there’s a tie”? That’s when the mayor casts the deciding vote. Read the local paper, cjonline.com and reply in kind if you so desire. Just ole’ Myron@myownfaith2.com

10/17/2008 6:36:48 AM Sonny Scroggins My friend Sonny asked me to be the master of Ceremonies. I guess I’ll scan the program and post it on our web. Thanks Sonny! It was an interesting time. I felt honored to be asked. Mark came along and was willing to share with us our web. My diabetes training was very interesting too. I now have a pin pricker thingy and am making a matrix for my blood sugar. Thanks to the St. Francis diabetes center also for all the diabetes knowledge to share. Sally set me up for a left shoulder appointment too. I have frozen shoulder. Hopefully my church will buy into the Dave Ramsey’s financial Peace program also. My

Of couse everyone had their own flyers and yard signs, well only Nancy and Chad. For those not in the know, I collect yard signs. I could care less whose name is on the sign. Remember, I’m an Internet Blogger, so many websites, so little time. I will now copy/paste the email I received.

GA BANKER COMMENTS Written by Jerry Teasley of Pine Mountain , GA former Banker Most of my friends know I have tried to stop thinking, but I can't help it in the wake of all the recent economic news. My banking career started in 1970 and ended in 1993, but I still keep close ties to the industry. During my banking years I did learn one or two things along the way. The problem with our economy today is from a liberal thinking congress, senators, and presidents, as well as greed and dishonesty. When you put these together it spells disaster in any area of our life. Ask any banker (just walk in and ask one that has been there for 15 or 20 years) and they will tell you these are the FACTS: * Under Jimmy Carter we received the Community Reinvestment act. This law says banks have to make loans in low income areas and it has forced many lending institutions to seek to make loans to people in areas that lenders would not normally go because of the risk and low property values.

10/4/2008 4:32:56 AM RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL: It’s time for some fun and frivolity! I’m wearing my jocular hat while writing to get y in the mood. Today Sally & I have been married 39 years. What better way to celebrate our wedding day than to head back to the 18th century? My favorite event at the festival is the drunken sot and the gypsies. I like them all! We might even participate in a little political ideologies, all in good humor of course. I’ll have Sally take all the photos. I remember once I asked if I could take a picture of a character. The person replied in a good English dialect, you mean my portrait? They did not have computers back then, not to mention digital photography. So this year I’m going to let Sally take all the “portraits.” Eventually they’ll make their way into our web. Of course, you all reading this most likely didn’t have a clue as to what I just wrote. See ya Myron

I would like to ADD two more words for Mr. O-Reilly, patheads and pintriots. I made it up my friends. This is just my devious mind working overtime before I get busy doing constructive things, like taxes. Yes, I need to do my 2007 taxes ! Here are the definitions: PATRIOT: A person who loves ones country .. Webster PINHEAD: A stupid and silly person .. Webster PATHEAD: A patriot and a pinhead, the majority being a patriot .. Myron PINTRIOT: a pinhead and a patriot, the majority being a pinhead .. Myron So let me explain a little bit about my grading system.

10/3/2008 4:56:39 AM WHERE DO I BEGIN? 10/3/2008 4:57:07 AM There is so much going on in this world as of late. Financially, this country is in a mess! Politically, this country is divided between the liberals and conservatives. Religiously, we’re becoming morally bankrupt. To me personally, I’m gong to cling to Jesus’ apron strings that much closer. Dear God: Please help our country out! We have a very distinct ideology right now. Please help the voters make the right decision regarding which way we want our country to be led. There is a clear distinction Lord, and please open up the minds of the voters to know the difference. We pray in your holy and precious name.. in Jesus name, AMEN. Personally, I feel that the liberal Democratic Party will be leading us down the path of socialism. I for one do NOT want that! Never in my lifetime has there been such a clear distinction between the two parties: LIBERALISM OR CONSERVATISM. I’m a conservative. I feel that if our country ele

I scan the judges decision and make a web page for all to review. Read my July articles for further info.
