Spread The Word Everyday

THANKSGIVING EVE: I’ll start my thanksgiving message a little early for my public blog this year. I just dropped off Julie S. to her apartment and Sally is doing taxicab service for her friend Charlene P. and I have the house to myself for writing. We just got back from Thanksgiving service here at our Lutheran church here in Topeka KS. Our choir sang, and I’m glad I got my voice back for singing. I’ve been thinking lately about the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and down the road this Christmas holiday. But first I’d like to write about my thoughts about Thanksgiving. I was not aware of the significance of the REAL meaning of Thanksgiving until I listened to Rush Limbaugh’s radio talk show program. Like millions of other folks I’ve always thought that the Pilgrims were saved by the Indians and then in return they sent the Indians to reservations. These stories are NOT true. If you want to know the REAL meaning of Thanksgiving, merely start listening to Rush Limbaugh and learn more...

11/26/2008 5:59:38 AM TOPEKA CITY COUNCIL: Well I did it. Last night I was the only conferee in the public comment here in city hall. While there I decided to declare my presidential aspirations for 2012. I passed the hat for donations. We’ll see how far that gets.

11/25/2008 4:43:48 AM BEAR COMMUNICATIONS: I’m going to write this am about the price of using the Internet, the web, cyberspace, or whatever else you might want to call it. Yesterday I coughed up a cool $400.00 just to keep our 4 cable TV’s ready and usable and connected to the world. The company was Bear communication out of Lawrence KS. When I wrote the check , I wrote it to “Bear Communication”, but was told later to make the check out to “Steve McQuay, a private contractor. Steve spent all afternoon wall fishing the four tv’s and I spent all day moving stuff around for Steve. What a mess !! Sally and I are going to need to have an organizational meeting, well, I guess I’ll need one with myself mainly. So Steve gets our new cables installed and the main TV downstairs STILL does not work going through the box. So now I have COX communication specialist coming over this afternoon. Whatever happened to the old days with black and white TV and folks communicating over the kit...

FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY: 11/24/2008 6:11:44 AM I am pleased to announce that our church will be starting a Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University class. You can blame me. Yesterday we had our preview class and it went well. I’m hoping that we get enough interested families. Sally & I are lifetime members.

11/23/2008 6:51:19 AM WEBSITES: So many websites, so little time! That’s the subject of my writing this AM. I just joined a couple more social sites, and I’ll post them to my home page just as soon as I get a ROUNTTOIT. Ever see one of those tokens? A rountoit is a little wooden poker chip that says ‘TOIT” on it. Whenever I get in a procrastination mood, like all last week, I need to pull out my “tuit” button. For example, the lower bathroom still has the stool off. Imagine that! Here it’s been almost a week with ONE bathroom for two of us! Imagine what our home would be like if we had teenage daughters living with us! But I have a good excuse.. I’VE BEEN SICK! I haven’t even turned on my computer! Now that’s being sick! I have no idea what my stocks are doing, nor do I care anymore. Why go to your portfolio when you know that there’s nothing there to brag about! The good news is, I’m feeling better and ready to blog again too. Guess I’ll post this to my public blog. Myron...

11/22/2008 5:52:30 AM FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY: I’m pleased to announce in my public blog that our church will be starting Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University.. Sally & I are lifetime members. Getting over the FLU.

11/21/2008 8:00:10 AM SICK: Ok, I’ve been sick. No biggies, just the flu. You know, temp around 101, dia … and all the crap that goes with it. I’ve been close to porcelain and my favorite chair. My laptop is acting up again too. Gotta go! 11/21/2008 11:22:22 AM I’m Back !!!! And I found out that my laptop got a virus and caused me unnecessary grief! Where was I? Oh ya, I’ve been sick. No big deal, just the FLU with the accompanying DIA .. and all it’s symptoms. I can still write to my laptop though! Does anybody care? What are everybody’s plans for Thanksgiving? My plans are the same as last year. Mark, Sally & I will go visit the EXPO center and receive a free meal. We also volunteer to serve, but it seems that they have plenty of volunteers. I’ll probably have Sally go to the store and buy want ever they need. If only we could finish our family to include John, Kim & Madeline. OH WELL. Guess I’ll post this to my public blog before my laptop decides to go berserk ag...

What is wrong with my sister state in Minnesota! I received this from listening to Shaun Hannity who referenced Matt Drudge. I’m working on getting over the flu. Myron@myownfaith2.com

11/19/2008 7:37:37 AM WOW!! My laptop healed itself!J I get back from the computer store expecting my mouse to go berserk again, causing me undue grief. WHALLA !!!, the laptop is running just fine! I can type again! Thanks to Jim Driggers at the new location at the old Donaldson’s jewelers for doing whatever the computer staff did to fix it! My laptop is my life! I know I know, it’s still just a machine! Some people fall in love with things, like cars, guns, etc. .. I’ve fallen in love with the Internet. Speaking of the web, I’ve updated my blog and added plaxo.com and facebook.com to my blog.htm link. This AM I got to thinking of the saddest I’ve been. Here’s the order of my saddest times in my 63 years of living. Here’s my list: 1) Losing my friend Keith Loomis when I was 15 years old. I turned my life to Jesus because of his accidental horseplay death. We were going to be confirmed in the Lutheran faith in Bruce SD. I have ONE photo of Keith somewhere in one of my computer...

11/17/2008 8:05:43 AM MY COMPUTER IS MESSED UP! 11/18/2008 12:15:44 PM I’m back!! Well, I don’t have a clue if my laptop is still messed up or not. I took my computer into the computer store here in Topeka KS and they could not fit my keyboard with a new keyboard. So I took it home and now it WORKS! At least it works for a little bit. Time will tell if the laptop will start acting up again. The machine is under warranty so I called DELL and they are sending me another keyboard. I guess I’ll keep it at home and have the computer store replace it only when needed. In the meantime, I’ve also started a new facebook.com website. Stay tuned. I hand wrote a letter to John & Kim too and scanned the letter. Myron

11/16/2008 6:34:22 AM FIRE!! I’m watching FOX news and there’s a bad fire in California. What a travesty. I wonder how it got started? Our downstairs toilet will need to be redone. The stool as plugged up and I had to call a plumber. No, I did not call Joe the plumber J I called Redman the Plumber to the tune of $85.00. But the stool is now clear and now comes a redo in our lower level. We live in a bi-level paid for home. Today I’ve been asked to be a mentor speaker for our LYO group here at OSLC. I’m looking forward to that. My keyboard is acting up. The right arrow key is stuck and will take over my laptop. Need to get that fixed too !! I continue to ask myself “If this computer has no emotion, why is it making me frustrated?” Guess I post this to my public blog and gt ready for church. Myron@myownfaith2.com

11/15/2008 6:42:25 AM IT’S SATURDAY!!! Yes indeed, it’s just another day for us retirees. But I always look forward to Saturday as that’s the day that FOX TV has there Business reports. I start my TV listening with Red/Green on PBS at 8:00 AM and immediately switch channels to FOX as I can’t stand that astrologer guy. It’s fun getting all those stock tips, plug them into my computer and await the results. Usually they’re wrong. The only ones I listen to mostly are Neil Cavuto and the chartman, Gary B. Smith. With the stock market going in a roller coaster ride, it’s all important to have good computer software and know what you’re doing before investing in the market. Just ask millions of folks now looking for a job and living hand to mouth. I know .. Sally & I have been there, done that, and it’s not pretty. At least we pay our bills. Now if someone could just go after the thieves who have stolen the folks 401K and made it into a 201K! Who could that be? Let’s start na...

As a conservative in exile, I will probably not be in attendance. I will post these emails from my good Christian friend Sonny. Sonny is getting Internet famous. Is that good? The following is sonny's email: November 14, 2008 Press Release Exploratory Obama Day Committee Meeting 11/15/2008 9:00 AM 10:30 AM Langston Hughes Room 205, Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library To Paraphrase Former President Ronald Reagan: "A person once convinced that a particular course of action is the right one, must.....be undaunted when the going gets tough."

11/14/2008 5:22:38 AM OUTLOOK EXPRESS: Sally & I use outlook Express for our email program. OE is a very good email program. Like any computer one must be very careful by doing a “reply to all” in one’s correspondence. Many folks don’t want to be bothered by those pesky emails wanting to help you with your sexual problems, etc. I don’t know how many ways I can pay off my already paid off mortgage. Remember, the wonderful world of cyberspace, also has bad people in there. Just be AWARE that there’s pedophiles who would like nothing more than to clean out your wallet or your life using your PERSONAL computer. Just a warning my friends.

Brewster Charity Bazaar will be held on Saturday, November 22, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. All items are hand-made and are unique. There is also a Bake Sale.

11/13/2008 6:01:32 AM BAILOUT: I need a bailout! Sally & I have a little bit of home equity that needs to be paid off. I want the bail out money to pay off in full so we can go to some resort like AIG. It’s just NOT FAIR!

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD? SARAH PALIN : Before it got to the other side, I shot the chicken, cleaned and dressed it, and had chicken burgers for lunch. BARACK OBAMA : The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a change! The chicken wanted change! JOHN MC CAIN : My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road. HILLARY CLINTON : When I was First Lady, I personally helped that litt le chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure right from Day One that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me. GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no midd le ground here. DICK CHENEY : Where...

11/12/2008 4:33:11 AM VETERANS DAY: Yesterday was a day to honor US Veterans. I drove over to the Great Overland Station and was honored, along with a few others. It’s hard to be in more than one place at a time. So many public places to choose from, so little time. So I chose to attend the tribute at the old train station, and I’m glad I did. I ran into Les Wenger and a few others. Les is my neighbor here in SW Topeka. We exchanged pleasantries and people we mutually knew. It was fun. Of course I gave Les my card. My good friend Sonny Scroggins made the Internet national media also through our local paper www.cjonine.com too. I’ll write about that in a separate blog someday. Sally also wrote to the letters to the editor also, and they published her letter. Of course I had to reply to her letter in the blog format. So many blogs, so little time. Now if I could only get some of my bucket list numbers crossed off. Myron Holter Topeka KS Visit us online at: www.myownfaith2.co...

11/11/2008 10:00:05 PM I HAVE AN IDEA: With my wife Sally’s letter to the editor to our local paper, I’m inspired to write. Here’s my idea. In regards to our city government, I’d like to thank our city manager for staying here in Topeka KS. Here’s an idea to make our city government more efficient. CURRENT SALARIES: City manager: 1 x 137.5K Mayor 1 x 20.0 K City Council 9 X 10 K _____________________ Total 247.5 K PROPOSED SALARIES: City Manager 1 x 35.35 K Mayor 2 x 35.35 K City council 4 x 35.35 K TOTAL 247.5 K As the writer of this blog, I will charge the city government only 2.5 K for my consulting services. This will make it easier for the city finance to make it a nice round figure to 250 K Details to follow in my public blog. Myron Holter Topeka KS www.myownfaith2.com

11/11/2008 5:42:29 AM OPTIONETICS: WOW! I told Sally last night that I know very little about options. But I’m willing to learn! That’s the whole crux about trading options. I just got back from KCMO and spent two days learning about trading options. I only wish I would have taken this training years ago. I told the instructor that I learned more the first hour than I learned in 20 years. He posted on the screen the next break. Now I have a partner too to help share expenses. So I guess I’d better get busy and put in practice what I’ve learned. Myron@myownfaith2.com

11/8/2008 4:48:13 AM It’s Saturday and it’s been quite a week here at the Holter’s and in our nation as a whole. This last week our new president elect, Mr. Obama , was chosen by our country to become our next President of The United States of America, the greatest nation on this planet earth. I’ll be praying for him! He won in an almost landslide vote. History will determine whether he’ll be a good President or not. I predict he’ll be worse than Jimmy Carter with his liberal policy. I for one am in conservative exile, as my good radio friend, Sean Hannity, likes to say. We need to support our new President, but at the same time we need to keep Mr. Obama’s feet to the fire when it comes to issues regarding the future of our country. Locally, Sally and I are continually trying to get out of debt. I am offering my knowledge to help set up a Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University class at our church. I am merely the messenger. I’ll load the DVD’s and CD’s for that week. We h...

11/7/2008 5:48:42 AM OUR BLOG; I have many blogs to choose from. Of course the #1 blogs on the Internet is our economy! The war on terror has taken back door. Our enemies are thrilled. I f you want to know more on my political leanings, merely surf on over to Hannity.com and learn more. I’m afraid our country is headed towards socialism and I for one don’t like it. What can we do as concerned citizens? For one we can create our own blog. For those not computer savvy we can call our friends, neighbors, strangers, etc. about the error of our leaders ways. I feel that our leaders are not following scripture. Here endeth my little blurb about my blog.

11/6/2008 6:12:39 AM EXILED I’m in exile. My political ideologies have been submerged in the recesses of my brain. In listening to Sean Hannity conservative radio, I can relate. I will write my opinions and post them to my blog. I’ll continue to make conversation with the folks and give them our business card. The reliv.com stamp is on the back and hopefully somebody will want to join us in this wonderful business. One of my bucket lists numbers can be scratched off .. at least partially. The ole’ truck, my hearse needed a little repair work to the tune of 11K. I guess we can use that for our emergency fund.. Need to get my laptop keyboard fixed too.

ELECTION DAY 2008 Well he did it. I’m talking about Obama being our next President. My Guy did not win. Are we ready for a socialist government? We’ll see. Throw the bums out! That what this election is all about. The reason McCain lost is because of the free fall at Wall St. and the resulting 401K’s turning into 101K’s. This is the reason the incumbent Republican’s were thrown out. My heart goes out to those folks whose retirement systems have been ruined by the greedy Wall St. CEO’s. If McCain told the folks, I’m going after those greedy folks to justice, named names and stumped that in his speeches, perhaps the results might have been different. The fairness doctrine is also perhaps coming to the front also. Goodbye conservative talk radio. Goodbye Rush Limbaugh/Sean Hannity/Jim Cates (KMAJ/am radio) and all those other conservative radio folks too. What might happen is that these radio shows that are currently conservative will also need to have a liberal person sharing t...

VOTE: Well, today is Election Day. I had all ready advanced voted this Presidential election year because I thought maybe I would be called up to work. The phone call did not happen. Never in my lifetime could I recall so much difference of the candidates. Do we want a SOCIALISTIC OR A CAPITALISTIC government? You make the decision. I all ready have. I have more important things to do today, like post to my public blog and also try to get organized here at home. My

Judas Asparagus A child was asked to write a book report on the entire Bible. This brought tears of laughter to my eyes. I wonder how often we take for granted that children understand what we are teaching??? Through the eyes of a child: The Children's Bible in a Nutshell In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says, 'The Lord thy God is one, but I think He must be a lot older than that. Anyway, God said, 'Give me a light!' and someone did. Then God made the world. He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been invented yet. Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden. Not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn't have cars. Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was Abel. Pretty soon all of the early people died off, except for M...

11/1/2008 7:33:36 AM HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! Yes indeed, today is our mother’s 95th birthday! I trained her well J Here I am at mom’s old place in Bruce, now purchased by my sister Julie & her beloved husband John Anderson. I’m writing this from a kitchen table and drinking coffee. It doesn’t get any better than this! Today, all the family is going to descent on Greenleaf Assisted living in Brookings SD and honor our mother with accolades of some sort, be it cards, hugs, or whatever means of expressions us norVeguns are allowed to express without getting too mushy. I guess I’ll save this to my public folder and now make a new folder/file file name. OK .. I did it. If I’m dead, you can retrieve this computer from John Holter and go to C:\mydocuments/… public-20081101 being the file name. Where was I? Oh ya, I’m writing about our mother. I chatted with the owner/operator of Greenleaf when we surprised mom the other day and told her about how many relatives to expect. I guess my numb...
