You can start by finding photos. Use Bing or Google, select images, type in “bacon” in the search box, then find an image. Click on the image you like.

The simplest method for example would be if you search on the words;
“ted cruz auto mechanic bacon grease”
in google or whatever search engine the local government provides for you and your elves over there in the NorthPole, and review the images until one strikes your fancy (or again, whatever the government allows you to strike).
Over here in the United States – land of the free, if in google, you select the picture and are presented a myriad of choices; “visit page” or “view image”.
Use the mouse to select “view image”. You should now be looking at the fancy striking picture that set your heart a throbbing. In the address bar will be the direct URL (address) to the picture on some other computer in the “cloud”. Again using the mouse, select and copy that address. Now go to stella’s place or the neighbor’s blog and paste the address into the comment space. Like thusly;
Make sure there is a carriage return before and after the address. Also make sure there are no extra characters following the actual picture name. The “?w=816” needs to be deleted. The picture file ends with “.jpg”, but it could end with “gif”, “bmp”, “png”. There are other endings/formats, but these are the ones WordPress seems to understand.

My daughter told me something funny yesterday. Some university did a study on the nutritional value of eggs. They had eggs from the farmer with free range chickens who never feeds his chickens, the farmer with free range chickens who feeds organic feed, the farmer who has cooped up chickens and diet consists of regular feed and last store bought eggs from typical laying house hens. I could have saved them the trouble and the money, which was probably our money anyway. So, before she got to the results I told her I could number them without a study.
1. Most nutritional are the eggs from chickens who eat only insects, worms, grass and whatever else they can find to eat and a chicken will eat anything.
2. Free range chickens, organic feed has nothing to do with it, but being able to eat insects, worms, etc. is the key.
3. Cooped up chickens.
4. Last is the laying house eggs because they never eat bugs and such.
I was correct and didn’t need to spend a dime. She said the comments on the story was people asking what the non-fed chickens eat and when it was answered for them they said they wouldn’t want to eat those eggs. lol

Technically I guess laying house eggs would be vegetarian as they are either fed scratch grains or laying pellets or laying crumbles which is still just grains with added vitamins and minerals.
I never really thought about it before but I guess worms and insects are meat so my chickens aren’t vegetarians, plus chickens are cannibals if another chicken dies they will eat it if you don’t dispose of it. I’ve honestly never seen anything a chicken won’t eat, my kids used to feed them a variety of things including meat.

Important point from the article:
“The difference between Muslim and non-Muslim persecution (e.g., communist) of Christians is that the latter is often rooted in a particular regime. Conversely, Muslim persecution of Christians is perennial, existential, and far transcends this or that regime or ruler. It is part and parcel of the history, doctrines, and socio-political makeup of Islam—hence its tenacity; hence its ubiquity.”

Hi, everybody! Today is another “debate” day for the Republican candidates. I really wish they would stop with these media feeding frenzies. At least this one is five days before the election, giving a bit of recovery time before the votes in some very important states: Florida, Illinois, Ohio, Missouri and North Carolina. I understand there is one more in the Northern Marianas Islands (9 delegates), as well as one TODAY in the U.S. Virgin Islands (9 delegates). I think they fall into the same category as Puerto Rico – don’t vote in the general election. On Saturday, March 12, there are two other primaries; District of Columbia (19 delegates) and Guam (9 delegates).
This political season seems to grind on and on. The big discussion today is whether or not Rubio will suspend his campaign prior to the Florida primary (and others) on March 15. We’ll see!

Some of those voters he is insulting helped him become a Senator. I bet he didn’t think they were low information, not engaged or angry then.
The truth is because people are not low information and are engaged and yes angry, he got that one right, is why they support Trump and not Cruz. You don’t have to be very engaged or very informed to see Trump’s warts, they’ve been magnified for everyone’s view. However, only those informed and engaged can see his warts because he and everyone try to hide them very well.

Malkin to PJM: I Would Pick Trump Over Rubio
Author and political columnist Michelle Malkin told PJM she would choose real-estate mogul Donald Trump over Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) because Trump is surrounding himself with particular people she trusts.
Malkin was asked which candidate she thinks is the strongest on immigration issues:
“Unfortunately, Marco Rubio has been the worst. Now, unfortunately in an oversaturated 24/7 sound bite media culture you get coverage of these issues that’s half of a centimeter deep, so all you hear about is the ‘Gang of 8’ amnesty and you get the sense that all we are talking about is allowing 11-30 million people to come out of the shadows – that’s not what it is all about. It’s not nearly about giving these blank passes to people that are here illegally,” she said during an interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

Trump Butler: “Incredibly Generous,” “Just A Nice Man”
Former Trump butler Tony Senecal defended Donald Trump in an interview with CNN’s Carol Costello this morning.
“He’s an incredibly generous person. He’s been generous to his employees. He’s generous to strangers. He’s an entirely a nice guy. He’s not the gruff person that people make him out to be. Sure, you attack him, he’s going to fight back. But most of the time he’s just a nice man. I lasted with him for 20 years, he had to be pretty good,” Senecal said.
Senecal defended Trump as a patriot who wants what is best for the country.
“His interest in the American people. His patriotism. The man was born on Flag Day. He’s a very patriotic person — ahem, excuse me — and he wants what’s best for this country,” he told CNN.

So. My crazy job.
Painting steel trusses for the bossman. A whole lot of them. Cleaning them first isn’t too hard, with a bag of rags and a bucket of soapy water.
The part I had to refuse:
Um. I’m on a 4×8 rolling scaffold, 5 1/2 feet in the air (not as high as that pic, but still…) There is no railing. When I’m cleaning them — and they are filthy, and support a roof above a former drop ceiling since 1980 — it’s not too dangerous. I can just grab the trusses anywhere to keep myself from breaking my skull, while scrubbing with the other hand. I started painting the first two 20′ sections this morning with a tiny mini roller, then I realized: I also need a brush, because there are sections that I can’t get with the roller. ..and I can’t hold on to the trusses, because I just painted them… I got about 2 feet of the truss painted, mostly, before I climbed down and decided I’m not risking my life for ten dollars an hour.
Tomorrow I’m going to look and see if I can rent a railing attachment which hopefully fits onto the top of this scaffold. I feel like I’m doing tree work with no ropes.
Told the bossman’s henchman (love them both), uh-uh. Either a railing or go hire a pro company. One dishwasher/somewhat-handyman: can he do it?

Big 12-inch bubbles form. Because epoxy makes a gas as it cures. With this clear-coat, if the epoxy is still curing, the gas has to go DOWN. Now I have to scrape every gigantic bubble, re-prep, repaint, and re-coat. All at his expense.

I told the guy at the hardware: “I’m thinkin’ this isn’t OSHA-approved.”
He said: “I don’t think what you’re doing is ANYONE-approved.”

Has the U.S. ever intentionally taken out a single Imam?
I mean, there was that Santa-looking guy from the ’93 WTC attack, but other than him?
What kind of GD game are we playing? We’re attacking ants.
Since Reagan. Even Beirut was an Isolated Attack, Nothing To See Here.

Despite that the Muslim Brotherhood has existed since the nineteen-teens.
And that the MB created Hezbollah.
And especially despite that America has agencies with “Intelligence” in their names.
Oh, man. Man, oh, man.

They outlived Helen Thomas. I wouldn’t have predicted that, even.

I’m sure she does. Poor Helen. I have a friend like that – she’s smart and actually quite nice, but she’s homely. She looks kind of like the woman who played the wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz. And her poor daughter looks a lot like her mother. The daughter had a perfect SAT score, attended MIT and got her Masters at a university in Pennsylvania. I hear she has a good job in Silicon Valley. Her dad was brilliant too, but a strange nerdy kind of guy.

Age doesn’t matter 🙂 Cher said it a long time ago, that she planned on outliving roaches, Richards said the same thing.

And look what happened to him. She outlasted all of them, way on back! Apparently aging hippies don’t die. Either they OD young, or their body developers immunity to everything. All those drugs must react and form some kind of super immune system.

Just think. The E.U. could have been named after Cher if they had just chosen her instead of some Phoenician princess.

Aus, (please do not answer this) how many lines of nose candy did you snort, in your life? How much random copulation? How many other pills and LSD?
Think about it. Keith is what smart people would call an “anomaly”.
He’s been kept alive. For a reason.

Alice Cooper and Dave Mustaine, lead singer of Megadeth got themselves Washed in the River and thus Born Again.
I wonder if Keith did, too. Because it looks like he at least glimpses truth.
Glimpsing truth is what I call a “sign”. Especially lately.

Truly blind people don’t even glimpse light. Not at all.

Speaking truth to most people I know is akin to speaking Chinese to them.
