Molly's 10 Commandments

Mollys TEN COMMANDMENTS.........

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me..

3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.

4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.

5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.

7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.


8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.


9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.


10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.

Middle Class

I aint worried about the deficit, the wars or jobless problem in my opinion they are big enough to take care of themself. But I am really worried about our poor congress. Those assholes are so overworked, underpaid, under staffed, with limited working expenses and in need of better equipment such as year old limos that are running on empty, computers, rundown offices, taxes to pay, and the benefits they receive for serving us is shameless. As middle class voters we need to consider their problems when it comes time to vote again. As a middle class American with a family to feed, credit card bills, a mortgage, second mortgage, plus other bills, ect; ect; ect; I think it is high time us middle class paid a lot more taxes taxes taxes, instead of allowing the rich to bear this burden of taxes, come on you middle class, suck it up, bear your responsibility, we got wars to pay for, social programs to fund, roads to improve and a thousands of other needless government social situations to foot the bill, so come on middle class, work your 10 to 18 hours, then get a part time job and help out here a little bit,

Janrain reports

Dear Janrain Customer,
On September 22, 2011, Facebook held f8, its 4th annual developer conference. There were two clear themes throughout the keynote address and the feature demos – user engagement and content discovery. Facebook is making richer experiences possible by expanding the capabilities of the Open Graph and through the introduction of a redesigned profile page – the hub of all user activity on Facebook.
Impact to Janrain Customers
Facebook has been slowly rolling out updates to user profile pages since f8 and APIs that enable deeper engagement with users are currently in developer beta.
As a Janrain customer, no immediate action is required on your part. You will enjoy continued access to the same set of rich user profile data that is returned as part of the Janrain Engage social login product. Here at Janrain, we are testing Facebook’s APIs and introducing new user permissions to ensure optimized placement of the social posts users make from your site to their News Feed in order to maximize referral traffic back to your content.
Janrain understands how developer conferences like f8 can cause concern for your digital roadmap. In order to help make sense of what f8 means for you, please join us for a deeper panel discussion with extended Q&A. Members of our product and digital and social strategy teams will discuss what all of this news means for Q4 2011 and into 2012, and we’ll be taking your questions throughout the conversation. Get the details and sign up here.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at how Facebook is making user engagement and content discovery possible.
Finally, Some Context for Content Sharing
Whereas the Facebook Open Graph of 2010 supported the ability to “Like” a variety of content and web pages, the Open Graph of 2011 supports many more actions or verbs. Simply put, users can now convey a richer set of intentions and context back to their social graph. This makes user actions on your website even more relevant to their friends. Apart from liking a page, your users can share that they read a news article, cooked a recipe, listened to a song, or recommended a restaurant.
Improved discovery
The new Facebook profile page now contains three distinct elements.

• The Timeline that allows a user to customize and share life stages and milestones with their friends and family
• The Ticker that displays all lightweight activities from friends such as “Lisa just became friends with Gina.” in real-time
• The News Feed itself that contains status updates and posts from a user’s social graph.

So, rather than display every action taken by a user’s friends, family and colleagues in a single timeline, these activity updates are neatly segmented into three areas of the profile page for easier discovery and consumption.
Automated Sharing
Users can opt-in to share activities to their Timeline one initial time which allows subsequent actions to be automatically shared to their Timeline. Facebook is encouraging creation of branded Facebook apps to make this automatic sharing possible though similar sharing can also be done from a brand site by requesting the publish_actions user permission which Janrain will make available shortly. Customers will be notified when the permission becomes available.
New Ways to Leverage the Open Graph
Regardless of your industry vertical, the Open Graph will provide new ways for customers to talk about your brands and products with their social graph.
Retailers
Instead of just "Liking" a product page, you can create any verb association. You will probably want users to "Want," "Own," and "Give" products, but think about other things customers would like to do with your products, like "Use," "Upgrade to," and "Rock." 

Media and Entertainment
Entertainment apps become much more important, as users will have new ways of engaging with video and music content.

Publishers
Publishers have the greatest ability to stay relevant, as the content stream from your website gets more social distribution through automatic sharing, and drives more users back to your site. You now have the option to introduce labels such as “Read”, “Commented”, “Strongly Agreed With”, “Disapproved” to your content.

Other Platform Changes
Lastly, Facebook has also announced several platform changes that will take effect starting October 1, 2011. We want to assure you that as a Janrain customer, no action is required on your part. Janrain has been consistently making changes and upgrades to API calls to ensure support for the latest and greatest from Facebook.
Join our Product and Digital Strategy teams October 7th for more discussion on f8 and get all your questions answered.
Best,
Vidya Shivkumar
Director of Products

a wonderful life

The last 5 years Molly and I have really had a wonderful life together, she truly has been a wonderful companion, we have worked disasters that happen in our nation such as hurricanes, fires and tornados.
 I worked with the Salvation Army in food service during Katrina, Gustav and Ike. During that stay I met freeloaders and some very pitiful people.
 Recently and in an incident that ended the joy of volunteer work Molly and I were hit by a tornado in Dearing, Ga while riding the motor scooter.
 But I am a very optimistic being and I am working hard to get over the heart condition and the crack in my skull and return to a life style of leisure, harmony, romps with Molly, fishing, biking, eating, sleeping, in other words, doing just what I feel like, any time I feel like doing it and Molly always agrees or decides.

Gay

I was looking at my old high school year book the other day and low and behold in 1959 I was voted the gayest boy in school. Since that year those asshole/bastards in DC have changed the meaning of that word. Here is the "funny" part I aint changed a bit. In the pic above (They did ask me)

Sosososocial security

Melita Kim Foster-Yates Truitt A friend on facebook

‎**This is a repost** From a friend who was in the financial world before he retired. This is very appropriate in light of what is going on !!! Remember, not only did you contribute to Social Security but your employer did too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you averaged only 30K over your 49 year working life, that’s close to $220,500. If you calculate the future value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employer’s contribution) at a simple 5% (less than what the govt. pays on the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working (me) you’d have $892,919.98. If you took out only 3% per year, you would receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years, and that’s with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit! If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you’d have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month. The folks in Washington have pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madhoff ever had. Entitlement, my foot, I paid cash for my social security insurance!!!! Just because they borrowed the money, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout !! Congressional benefits, aka free healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days, now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call my retirement entitlements !!!!!! They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives and now when it’s time for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place? 99% of people won't have the guts to forward this. I'm one of the 1%!

Mother

REPOST from
Marilyn Truscott

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him. "I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will." "All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say. The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?" God said: "When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining. I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly. I gave her strength to carry her man through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart. I gave her wisdom to know that a good man never hurts his woman, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly. And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed." "You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides

The Constitution

The Man Rules
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down

  Finally , the guys' side of the story.
( I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear " the rules"
From the female side....

  Now here are the rules from the male side.  

These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered "1 "
ON PURPOSE!

1.   Men are NOT mind readers.
( FIRST & FOREMOST RULE)

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports, It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

1.. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.

We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong.

1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;

Pass this to as many men as you can -
to give them a laugh.

Pass this to as many women as you can -
 to give them a bigger laugh.

The joys of being a Grandad:
A woman in Food City is following me and my badly behaved 6 year old grandson.
It is obivious to her that I have my hands full with the boy screaming,
for sweets in the sweet aisle, fruit in the fruit aisle, and for
toys, cereal and pop in the other aisles.
Meanwhile, I am working my way around and saying in my controlled voice
easy Billy boy. Just hang in there we will be out of here in only a few more minutes.
At the checkout, my little terror is throwing items out of the cart,
And I say again in a controlled voice, "William, William, relax
Buddy, don't get upset. We'll be home in five minutes; stay cool, William."
Very impressed, the woman goes outside where I am loading
my groceries and the boy into the car.
She said to me, "It's none of my business, but you
Were amazing in there. I don't know how you did it. That whole time, you
kept your composure, and no matter how loud and disruptive he got, you
Just calmly kept saying things would be okay. William is very lucky to
Have you as his grandpa."

"Thanks, lady," I replied to her, "but I'm William (Billy) . .. . That little
Bastard's' name is Steve."

Drag Race

I bought one of those new CTS-V Coupe it has  The Eaton-supercharged and intercooled 6.2L V8 engine generates a massive 556 horsepower and 551 lb.-ft. of torque.  Molly loves for me to drag race.

Freedom

Freedom! You aint free, it is a word passed down by old people like me and your grandparents. I will prove it to you in this post. Before you get in a foreign made car and head to Wal-Mart, stop and think about the last gas you bought, then research where it was imported from. While you are at it search for domestic oil companies. There is plenty of oil made in America. Guess what, if everyone would buy only that domestic oil for one week. DUH! It is dicatorship. Now as you drive to Wal-Mart read the signs along the road, pay attention to what our dictators tell us to do. All those signs we have become so use to, Do this, don't you even think about doing that. How fast do they tell us to go, why do we call them stop lights and stop signs, it is a negative reaction, when giving directions, why don't we say,"travel to the 3rd go light and turn left, or go to the next go sign and turn right. Don't quote me on this but I read that just one traffic light cost $10,000 our leaders put up 10 to 20 at each intersection, why, because we are to stupid to understand the meaning of one red light and he (the dictator) ownes stock in the chinese company that makes the light. We just take it in strides, Daylight saving time, what a crock of nonsense, has to be politics. Who states at what age one can by beer, our dictators don't think you have enough sense to raise your child. Who came up with the retire at age 65, who? Why do we all go to and get off work at the same times. Who thought up the idea of school kids leaving in the dark and why does that make sence. Why do the good political leader get killed, Martin King, Huey Long, John Kennedy? It is the click they would not subscribe to. I fear for President Obama, he has a choice to make, conform to the dictators or...... What a terrible decision he has to make and freedom has nothing to do with his decision. Why are there so many terorist in America---- and we know who they are, Why, Why, Why!! We are in all these wars today because of money it is not about freedom it is about, who is making the dollars off those bombs. Somebody somewhere is making plans for our next war. And we think we will be fighting for freedom. BULLSCHIT! The action we take at the next war will be dictated to us. Guns; America was not invaded by Japan, Germany, Washington DC, Iran, Korea or Russia, because they know Americans have or can get a gun. But our dictators are working on that issue. In this land of milk and honey, I believe that no American should be without an education, a home, an automobile, and a job that pays a decent living wage as well as a computer with high speed internet connection which should unite the people and conquer our government. We Americans have always had slavery, first it was the Irish, next came the Black African, today we have become so modern, we call it minimum wage. Today I will be demonized by the powerful as a dangerous revolutionary, yet revered by the masses as a champion of the common man. I believe that government should protect and uplift its most vulnerable citizens and provide opportunity for everyone, regardless of race or class. Our most cherished government institutions – from social security to veterans benefits, student financial aid and public works. I know that if I keep posting these insults to politicians, I am going to get in trouble, arrested and silenced by being put away. But I am an old American,

I know what freedom is. I have lavished in it all my life, up until the last decade. Most of you cannot understand what I am even talking about. My parents provided my freedom. Just a few examples; at 17 I got caught drunk driving, instead of jail, the cop took me home to my grandpa, wish he had taken me to jail. At 19 got caught fightining chickens, the judge gave me a lecture and sent me home. At 20 jail broke me from bad behaiver, Now days dictators handle everything, parents is just a word. In a nation founded on christian beliefs, has reduced itself to a pegan existenance, did you do this or was it dictated to you. God did not create this country, we the people did. Fate did not dictate our history, we made it. This is not always a pretty story, even while it is often inspiring. It is a story of expansion and exploitation, just as it is a story of growth and dynamism. It is a story that begins with small repressive, intolerant European communities on the edge of what they thought was a hostile and foreboding frontier. It is a story of the conquering of that frontier and the creation of new ones. It is a story of the evolution of a people and the creation of a exceptionally dynamic and individualistic culture. Today, Americans are entering a repressive, intolerant political community on the edge of what I think is a hostile and foreboding political frontier and we shall overcome, restore and rebuild our individual freedom. We will do this as soon as you realize this repression personally. I am dictated a license or a tax for eveything I do, drive, fish, boat, motorcycle, eat, play or go to a movie. Is this freedom? God is still free, but if you are a politician reading this I'll bet you are trying to tax HIM. However consider this; the wealth of some religious organazion. Even our releigion is dictated to a point. Just try to start your own. Americans live in the richest and most powerful country in the history of mankind. This country's reach, power and influence is staggering: American movies, American products and American culture are everywhere. Most Americans take America's power, position and wealth for granted. We enjoy it, we certainly appreciate it. But how often do we ask ourselves: Why did it happen? What is it about the United States or Americans that has made this country so rich and powerful? Why is it that this particular place came to be the most watched, admired, feared and envied country in the world? Americans are independent, creative and materialistic people a product of both the system I helped developed and the land that I now dominate. I am going to rise up against congress. I used that "I" many times, pretend that it is you doing the writing. And that "I" is speaking from your heart. If and I wish he could return, Martin L King. If Martin were alive today, he would be talking about his next dream. Listen! "Now that I have united a peoples, "I have another dream" I will peacefully unite America and with your help we shall overcome and restore our freedom in the halls of congress. We, together, shall rid this great nation from the political corruption. "We together shall......" Oh Martin, how I cry for your leadership. I could sit here and type for the rest of my life about politicians and freedom and never reach a stopping point. Give me liberty or burn me at the stake. So, make a comment, please help me write this book. How does the politician you elected affect your freedom.

Molly verses the Dragons Tail

Molly rides the dragon to Highlands NC

Inside Graceland



Graceland

Life is so fragile,

It is amazing how quickly ones life can be rearranged, up until last July I was living in my camper with Molly (my dog) and we were as free as the birds in the sky roaming from one beautiful campground to another, staying as long as we wanted, visiting all the scenes and local communities then moving to another place of pleasure. We had been doing this since I retired five years ago.

I was really enjoying that life style, seeing nature, meeting other travelers, it was just a permanent R&R trip.

A freak of nature involved me in a fight with a tornado in Dearing Ga (READ) and I lost that battle and I lost my life for a brief period of time but thanks to modern medicine I was brought back to this strange world of chaos and confusion.

I have always thought that my soul is locked into my body and that it is always desperate to escape and return to heaven from whence it came, however I now believe that my soul really loves this earthly dimension and struggles continuously to remain here; “for God so loved the world.” I have always believed and still believe that my soul is my direct connection to God. “Right and wrong – Good and evil.

Well anyway, I was making progress on my recovery from that incident and was on my way to the VA hospital in Asheville NC, a follow up check-up when I passed out on the Interstate and had a wreck and this time I coded for quite some time (heart attack) this time I lost my Molly for 6 days a total of 10 days of not knowing where she was or even if she was alive. Molly is well and unhurt for those of you that know her. My best friend and loyal companion is still with me. She is so much a part of my life. Every since I rescued Molly from the pound she has been able to do as she pleases, unleashed. She really enjoys our National Parks and she has seen many of them in her short life.

Now that our living conditions have changed, she has to be confined in a restricted areas with many rules and regulations to adhere to. But that is another story.

Two very serious accidents in two months leaves me to wonder and ponder on an issue that of as at this time I have been unable to resolve in my mind. Why am I? What questions has God left me with?

God allowed me to die twice lately and yet brought me back to continue with some work that is unfinished.

My big question is, “God, what is it that you want me to do”?

I do struggle with the answer to that, I cannot find the answer in my Bible or in prayer. Perhaps you are standing on the outside looking in see a simple but overlooked solution by me.

Perhaps you can be His messenger and give me the information I so desperately seek.

You can reply here or email me at billyecole@gmail.com

God Bless You and Yours: and may He keep liking you.

Mountain Lake Ranch

Well Molly and I are without our scooter, you see we got caught up in a tornado in Dearing Ga, Molly was unharmed, I was in the hospital for 4 days, the sheriff who investigated the accident kept Molly and the bike is in the junk yard.
It seemed best for me to return near home to get well, so here we are in Dandridge Tenn, working at Mountain Lake Ranch, 20 hours a week of very light duty and receiving health care from the Asheville VA.

Ouch

Boy the last couple of months has really been a (well the only word I can think of is) Bitch.
First in July Molly and I were having a nice bike ride in Dearing Georgia. I saw a big black cloud miles off to our right and decided to head home. That cloud formed into a tornado, picked up a very large pine tree and dropped it on Molly and I. It destroyed the scooter, cracked my helmet and put a crack in my skull which left me with brain damage and I have a long recovery process before me. I spent 4 days in an Augusta Hospital not knowing a thing about Molly, talk about worry! The sheriff that came by took Molly in and cared for her. She is well and unhurt by the tree.
 In August Molly and I were moving between Jobs when I passed out on the Interstate and wrecked my camper and my Jeep which I was towing. I spent 5 days in the hospital before I found out that Molly was OK. I found out that I had suffered a heart attack. Talk about taking a bunch of pills! Durn! But I am still alive and Molly seems to be OK however as soon as I am able I am taking her to a Vet to make sure. That poor animal went through the same destruction as I and survived. Thank you Jesus.

 My outlook on life has really changed thru all this. With both accidents I did die and I was brought back to life with modern methods. But why? God has gotten my attention. I have something to do on this earth and I don't know what it is or even how to look for it. God loves me and He has work for me to do, so I am looking inside me first to find my faults and I will treat others like they are the most important person in the world and that includes the readers of this message. Please share your thoughts below.
