Being Neighborly

BEING NEIGHBORLY: We live on the side of a hill here in Topeka KS. If you were to do a google search, merely plug in our address and zero in the area I’m speaking. Well, after taking Mark home and working out at the Y downtown, I was barely able to get my 95ā€ Toyota into our driveway. I see in front of me a vehicle trying to get home. It’s my neighbor on Skyline. So we try to get the vehicle going uphill. Didn’t work. My neighbors’ vehicle is currently parked in our driveway. Being neighborly is what Jesus would expect from each of us. My annual fowl feeding at 6th & GAGE will have to wait. Sally was able to film our grandchild’s Christmas 2009. I am currently not ready to view the digital. Our family therapy continues. I am not optimistic. myron@myownfaith2.com

WEaKLY/WEEKLY

WEaKLY/WEEKLY: 12/26/2009 6:18:34 AM It’s Saturday Morning and time for my weAkly/weekly. Here’s hoping everyone watching this video had a good time with your family. Sally, Mark & myself spent Christmas right here @ home. About the only trip we made was to pick up our son and go to Christmas Eve service @ 5:00 PM. Churches services throughout the Midwest have been canceling. Our church, OSLC, is no exception. The attendance was sparse. Watch my previous blogs to get a better understanding about the true meaning of Christmas. I have many posts on the web. Love you Madeline. Myron@myownfaith2.com

WHITE CHRISTMAS

12/25/2009 5:49:20 AM DEC 25TH I’m NOT dreaming of a White Christmas, I’m living it. That is the theme of my blog this morning. We’re in a blizzard like situation here at 5112 SW 33rd St Sally, Mark, Julie S. & myself were able to attend church last night though. The TV got the message wrong and the attendance was sparse but we made the 5:00 PM service. The 10:00 PM service was cancelled. So I guess we’ll just stay home.

My Christmas Memories

12/24/2009 5:45:18 AM CHRISTMAS EVE MORNING: I had to do a 30 second video of Madeline’s Christmas presents. Sally wrapped up the presents in front of me last night. She informed me that ONE of the presents were from her Grandpa-My. J I’ll help load the VAN and then head for 6th & Gage. The geese & ducks need me. I used to like Christmas. I don’t anymore. PAST CHRISTMAS: Perhaps one of my most favorite Christmas times were during my formidable years. I grew up on a farm NE of Bruce SD Some of my previous writings were who the players in my life were. A ā€œnormalā€ Christmas for me follows: On Dec 24th , we, my family, would prepare for the birth of Jesus. This may sound weird, but we REALLY did have the birth of Jesus as the center of our lives. I would do the chores, feeding the animals, etc. and my job was to get some ice to make ice cream. So I would kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. The cattle needed to drink water from the Sioux river. The silage was also in ...

I'm OK

I’m OK I’m OK .. at least for now. Sally drove me to see a ā€œspecialistā€ yesterday to see what’s wrong with me. The ENT building is located right next to a funeral home, so I guess I’m good to go. Anyway, the balance tester made me dizzy. I’m still suffering as I write this. They ruled out my inner ear being the problem. The next test will be my brain. I’m reminded of the movie ā€œThe wizard of OZā€. .. ā€œIf I only had a brain.ā€ I’ll be giving my brain to the scarecrow. At least there’s a funeral home close by. The best part about yesterday was I FINALLY got my 1st cup of coffee afterwards. L8r myron@myownfaith2.com

Dizziness, imbalance & Headaches

12/22/2009 5:56:23 AM DIZZINESS: Maybe, just maybe some specialist might be able to tell me what’s wrong. You see, I’ve been suffering from dizziness, imbalance and headaches. I’m sick of feeling sick! Sally will be driving me to this AM. Wish me well. Maybe even a prayer or two might help. To my atheist friends, forget it, OK? Myron@myownfaith2.com

WeAkly/Weekly

WeAkly/Weekly: Good Morning to all you bloggers out there in cyber space.. Merry Christmas too! Take that all you SECULARISTS. I JUST SAID ā€œMERRY CHRISTMASā€. Now send me to jail. I’m a Christian Conservative Blogger. Anyway, enjoy your Christmas. Remember to honor Jesus’ birth. I’ll be feeding the fowls on Dec 25th. Sally & Mark will be enjoying Christmas with my estranged son and his family. Remember, it is better to give than to receive. View the previous video. myron@myownfaith2.com

Yesterday

YESTERDAY: 12/16/2009 7:09:22 AM Yesterday was an interesting day. I get up. I do my ā€œthingā€. I turn on my computer. I turn on my TV. I get some coffee. Have I said the word ā€œIā€ enough? How’s that for being self centered? J So anyway, after doing all these mundane things, it’s time to do fun things. Sally has written her annual Christmas letter. Being the computer geek that I am, The letter has been posted on our web. The next function is to stuff envelopes. I can do that. Now that the Christmas season is rapidly approaching, we’re finding many more ADS in the paper. One of the Christmas purchases to myself from myself is a new tool chest. The 95’ Toyota could not fit the BIG box, so the 73’ Ford (3/4) Truck (My hearse) was put into action. Mission accomplished! It’s wonderful to be DEBT FREE! Thanks Dave! So it’s back to stuffing envelopes and nursing my illness. Treating & Preventing imbalance & Dizziness by Paul Silovsky, PT is my next read. I’m getting tired o...

Privacy in the Workforce

PRIVACY IN THE WORKFORCE 12/15/2009 5:40:06 AM My daily retired schedule follows: 1) Get up 2) Do my duties (you know what I mean) 3) Get coffee 4) Prick my diabetic finger 5) Turn on my computer 6) Decide what I can blog about today. So I get to #6 on my checklist and see on FOX and Friends a segment called ā€˜PRIVACY IN THE WORKPLACEā€ and it brought back memories of my career with the Postal Service. From what I heard on TV, there’s a company or someone who is going to federal court over ā€œtextingā€ while on the job. This news segment immediately brought back some unpleasant memories of my last days working for the Post Office. I was a computer systems operator for the USPS here in Topeka KS. I worked as a union employee from Nov 1973-Mar 2001 My job was to run a computer. On or about the last year, year ½ I was being harassed. The management made my working life as miserable as possible. I used to be called in to the head office for the most frivol ice of things. Once I got called in...

My Health

HEALTH REPORT: 12/13/2009 10:19:21 AM OK … This will be a boring report on my health. I am suffering from a cold of some sort. That can be corrected with proper medication. What my main concern regarding my health is my balance problem. I would fail a drug sobriety test and I don’t even drink. If I were ordered to stand at attention in the military, I would fail. So what’s one to do? Guess I’ll find out Dec 22, 2009 at the Ear, Nose & Throat specialist. At least they’ll tell me what is NOT my problem. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know .. OK? myron@myownfaith2.com

WEaKLY/WEEKLY

WEaKLY/WEEKLY VIDEO 12/12/2009 4:57:34 AM It’s time for my video report for the week. I’ve been doing this now for quite a few weeks. I have no idea if anyone watches these videos, and frankly, I don’t care. It’s time for my cold to leave. This illness has gone on long enough. My main illness is my balance. If I were to stand at attention wearing a military uniform, I’d be singled out. If I were to be asked to walk a straight line, I’d fail. I’m not even drunk! There’s a good book for anyone to read ā€œChristmas Sweaterā€ by Glenn Beck. The news this week is Climategate. What a hoax! I’m a Palin supporter. I’m a dittohead, I’ve been Hannitized and I watch FOX news. Does that make me a homophobe, sexist , racist, the left wing liberals name call us? We have a new business card: CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE BLOGGER I see that the video is ready to be posted to http://mholter.blogspot.com

Sick

SICK: 12/11/2009 7:04:54 AM Yesterday I was sick. No fever, just feeling puny. Sally also has the sinus cold.. My voice is back, but there’s no singing voice yet. Sorry choir. So what does one do all day when sick? .. NOTHING. Spent all day deleting unnecessary emails and moving emails around to various folders. Guess I’ll get busy. The second cup of coffee is waiting. Next week I’m to see a specialist on why I’m dizzy all the time. Merry Christmas .. (can I say that?) Join us on the web if you’d like Myron

WEaKLY/WEEKLY

WEaKLY/WEEKLY: 12/5/2009 6:32:12 AM Good Morning everyone … Today I’d like to talk a little about religion. I said a little bit about my Lutheran faith and a blog reply I received this week. Visit our blog at www.myownfaith2.com/blog and learn a little more about how I stand in relationship to my faith. The web address to visit is: http://myownchurch.blogspot.com The best way to reply to any of my blogs is to own a google account. This is the Internet technology I use. I heard on the news that our BO president had a meeting with the CEO of Google. Did you know that my son John has GOOGLE on his Kansas license plate? My hearse has HOLTREM on its antique plate. Can the DMV hear in Topeka do anything right? The plate is suppose to be ā€œHOLTERMā€ Now let me check on the video being downloaded and getting a 2nd cup of coffee. 12/5/2009 7:04:00 AM The video is still uploading. So, in 2005 I was dissatisfied with the OSLC (Our Saviors Lutheran Church) here in Topeka KS. Our Pastor back th...

11/29/2011 Bible reading to Daisy 11/26/2011 Thanksgiving Preparations: 11/25/2009 7:03:49 AM OK.. I confess! I’m really not very excited about the upcoming holidays this year. I’ve been in a funk. Some seem to think I’m depressed. Dr. Davis wants to me to see an ear, eyes & nose specialist to correctly diagnose my headaches & dizziness He gave me some happy medicine too. NO – I’m not crazy! The prescription has not been ordered. Yesterday I had a bad spell. Sally is worried. I stayed away from any ladders. OH WELL I’m ready for Jesus anytime, but there’s a bucket list to work on www.myownfaith2.com/bucket myron@myownfaith2.com

Thrashing Crew - 1950's ?? -

THRASHING CREW: 11/25/2009 6:34:08 AM I received this photo from coz Wally via email just yesterday. Here are the folks in the photo: Back row (L-R): Don Peterson Morris Apland Adolph Holter Howard Geringer Oscar Lenning ? Al Apland Jens Christensen ? Front Row (L-R): Darrell Christensen Vernon Lenning ? Norman Holter Clifford Rasmussen ? Ray Oines ? This photo was probably taken by one of the wives of the trashing crew. Just a guess. I’m thinking the photo was taken in the 1950’s ?? Anyone want to contribute? I would have been just a little guy. myron@myownfaith2.com

WeAkly/weekly

WEaKLY/WEEKLY: 11/21/2009 7:55:51 AM While the video is uploading, I thought I’d write about my week. This weekly video blog is what I do. My therapy is my backyard. I’m working on re-roofing the city barn. Mark will eventually have this space as his guest room. Again, doing things in my backyard give me pleasure. Our 912 groups met last night at the Kansas Bar & Grill downtown. The speakers were about the smoking ordinance placed by our city council earlier this year. I am against it. Sally changed her mind also. There was a speaker also about the fair tax. There are so many websites , so little time. I will be content to remain on the states right committee. I’m on the brochure committee. I see it’s 8:00 AM and time to get some knowledge. .. Red/Green is on. L8r myron@myownfaith2.com

WEaKLY / WEEKLY

WEaKLY / WEEKLY 11/14/2009 5:24 AM The high light of my week this week is working on #1 & #2 on my bucket list. We met with the family counselor this week and our son has agreed to meet with us. Our country is going in the wrong direction. Now we have a fellow military terrorist who killed 13 of us fellow comrades. This major just happens to be a Muslim. UFF-DA !!! As a follower of Jesus and an American, I’m saddened to hear these stories. And what does our current BO President do? .. He badmouths America? Double UFF-DA !! Maybe I’m watching too much news. I guess I’ll continue on with my daily devotions and cling more closely to my bible. If I had a GUN, I’d cling closer to that too. Sally & I both have diabetes. We’re learning what to do and what NOT to do for our disease. Sally took the same class I took a year ago. Guess I’d better prick my finger and journalize my findings. I wrote some thoughts about what happened to John when he was 21 years old. I will post t...

DEBT FREE: 11/11/2009 4:56:21 AM WE, Sally & I will be DEBT FREE!! Sally will write in the date on our financial bible and the video will be sent to Dave Ramsey of Financial Peace University. HAPPY VETERANS DAY: I am a veteran. I see a bunch of FREE food signs throughout our community. Why eat at home? Later today I plan to check out all these places. Yes indeed, I am a veteran. My military career follows: USAF regular – Sept. 1966-1970 USArmy Reserve – 1976-1980 USAF National Guard 1981-1993 I’m a twenty-year veteran with an honorable discharge. Thank you very much.

Obama Care

TOPEKA 912 PROJECT ā€œXā€ IS BEST FOR KANSAS The following url (web address) can be downloaded on your computer and printed out to pass out to your family, friends & relatives. I am on the Topeka 912 brochure committee. http://api.ning.com/files/HrxHHtM3FMk1ti2uYrcproHvXL1WVWaNZKmI1ouMuRA_/Sovereign_State_Brochure_Oct12009.pdf 11/8/2009 5:52:35 AM THE INTERNET: The Internet has many names attached to it. Some of the names are as follows: The web Cyber-space Information Technology Networking World wide web Email Al Gore Blog OK .. I confess, I’m a blogger. I guess I’ll continue on with OUR website … yes, that’s another name for the Internet.. website. Yesterday I was able to drive to Shawnee KS for a pro Obama care rally. The Topeka 912 group asked us 912-ers to support Mary Pilcher Cook and be an anti-rally The emotions were running high on both sides. The rally was peaceful. I brought my camera. Rather than carry a sign, I thought I’d mix with the pro Obama care folks. I wo...
WEaKLY/WEEKLY 11/7/2009 7:43:28 AM We, the people. That’s what I’m going to title my video this week, WE, the people. Our country is slowly being eroded inside out. I talked a little bit about this terrorist who murdered my fellow soldiers. These young recruits were in preparation for going to war for our country and were murdered by a Muslim major in the army. UFF-da! Our leader in the 912 group has decided to step down. We wish her well. Our RELIV business is challenging to say the least. Every once in a while the folks on the web are curious. Direct level marketing is indeed a challenge. The Internet is alive and well. I now have a facebook account too, along with many other social networking accounts. My Microsoft account has expired. Should I buy another software program? I think not. Heading for Shawnee KS in a little bit in support of a conservative legislature, Mary Pilcher Cook. This week Sally & I are to meet with our family counselor. In time I may or may not be ...

November Blog

NOVEMBER BLOG: 11/2/2009 6:46:46 AM I have decided to made a new folder once a month, just to keep myself organized. Now if I could just get our house as organized as my laptop. POLITICS: Sally and I now have another business card. The card says ā€œChristian Conservative Bloggerā€. I have a stamp with the Reliv Independent Distributor information on the back. I wish I were a chicken farmer sometimes. In watching the CBS 60 minutes segment, The chicken farmers are in big demand. The swine flu, or H1N1, has a shortage of the shot. I just heard that the prisoners get it first. What’s up with that? RELIV: My brother gave me back some RELIV cans. GREAT! We’ll consume this wonderful product ourselves. FAMILY ISSUES: My question to Kim ā€œWhen will I get to see Madeline?ā€ I still need to work on my bucket list as posted on page one of our homepage. FINANCES: We’re almost DEBT FREE !!! That’s about it for today. myron@myownfaith2.com

Fun & Family

EYEGLASSES: & Family Therapy 10/18/2009 5:44:55 AM Yesterday while attending the renaissance festival at Bonner Springs KS I decided to put my glasses in my coat pocket. I reached in my pocket to put them back on and could not focus on anything! What happened was the left lens fell out. Fortunately I can still drive without my glasses, but BOY did my eyes perform a number on me! So I get home and realize that I need a special SMALL screwdriver to replace the lens. It’s important that I get the lens popped back in as I can’t do anything close up, like reading. I can type from memory though. Our church is hosting a musical today also. I NEED to have these glasses! Yesterday Sally & I also had family counseling. There is a little issue in our lives called problems. Maybe I’ll get to see my granddaughter someday. I want to be able to cross off my hand-written bucket list. Go to www.myownfaith2.com/bucket to follow my progress. Sally and I had fun yesterday at the festival. S...

10/17/2009 6:15:43 AM WEaKLY/weekly: Good Morning everyone: While my video is being uploaded, I thought I’d write a few words. ā€œFEW WORDSā€ .. HA GREAT MINDS: - Great minds - Average minds - Simple minds I wrote this down after listening to FOX/TV. I don’t know who said it on the news, but I wrote it down. I believe Eleanor Roosevelt said it, I could be wrong. Let me start with the simple minds: Simple-minded people talk about people. These simpletons are pinheads who are anonymous in my blog replies. If you want to see SOME of these replies, just visit http://cjonline.com and search for my name. Simple-minded people are the folks who LIE about my radio friend Rush Limbaugh. I’m a ditto head. Simple-minded people who come to my mind are folks who join various LIBERAL websites. Some of the more popular websites are like http://www.moveon.org these sites do nothing but talk about people. They smear, besmirch, degrade, and belittle people, primarily Christian Conservative Bloggers l...

WEaKLY/WEEKLY

WEaKLY/WEEKLY 10/3/2009 6:02:54 AM Top of the morning to everyone! My weekly video is being processed, so I thought I’d write a few thoughts in the meantime. This last week has been something else! Sally & I will be married 40 years tomorrow. I LOVE YOU HON! I remember our wedding day like it was yesterday. It was a beautiful day. We got married in Omaha Nebraska at the Presbyterian Church of the Cross. This church was Sally’s brother, Cork, and then his lovely wife Pat. We had a reception at Cork’s home afterwards. I’ll write more later about our wedding night. We did it! I also joined the Topeka 912 project. This is a tea party group. We meet at an undisclosed location here in Topeka KS. Later on today we’re starting to go public. We’re looking for some volunteers. We’ll be having a booth at the farmer’s market today. I volunteered to help, but they have enough help. Guess I’ll check on my upload and post this to www.myownfaith2.com/blog Myron@myownfaith2.com

Religion-Politics & Sex

POLITICS-RELIGION & SEX 9/30/2009 4:59:58 AM That’s a loaded subject! Let me start with RELIGION. Last night Sally was invited to a farewell supper for our pastor. We met at the Thomas sisters’ home. Spouses are invited also. Pastor Meggan’s last day as Pastor will be Oct 4th, 2009. Our church’s web address is http://www.oslctopeka.org We will miss her and the family very much. I asked her what she had plans for her future. She answered that her plate is empty. I guess that means no plans. I made an observation that our last interim pastor just died. I’m sure there’s an opening for ELCA interim pastors. We laughed over my statement. It’s fun to be with friends. While we’re speaking of religions, I am not an ELCA Lutheran. I’m an AFLC Lutheran. My membership and finances go to Grace Lutheran Bruce SD. Long story. But to make a long story short, I do not like the direction the ELCA is taking. The AFLC is more to my traditional upbringing. I still attend church at OSLC. ...

Charlie's Final Resting Place

THANK YOU: 9/25/2009 6:02:32 AM A Big Thank you to all of you who replied to my emails and condolences regarding our pet, Charlie. I have taken one last picture and posted it on our blog. The service was very short. PRAYER NOAH STORY EULOGIES THAT’S IT Charlie is waiting for us in heaven. Post: www.myownfaith2.com/blog

Charlie (1998-2009)

CHARLIE (1998-2009) 9/24/2009 5:53:17 AM Charlie HoltREm ,(another story), our beloved pet, died yesterday in our backyard at 5112 ½ SW 33rd ST Topeka KS 66614 Charlie was born 3/1/98 somewhere. Gage Animal Hospital has our pet records for all our pets since 1974. His friends, Myron, Sally Holter, survive Charlie. His best friend Mark Holter & our son, was able to pay a final visit the night before his demise. Charlie wanted to die, he told me. I looked in his eyes and they were longing to see Jesus. When I petted our best friend, he would not wag his tail. We made him comfortable. I for one would like to see all my pets in heaven someday. The funeral service will be held at 2:00 PM today. All are welcome to pay their respects. His neighbor, OREO, a male black lab, preceded Charlie in death. Other pets in our married lives have been: BUFFY – a FEMALE black lab – 2006 (Charlie’s playmate) BUD – another dear friend of us (Charlie’s playmate) LADDY – died in our garage (late 9...

Charlie (our pet)

LIFE/DEATH/CHARLIE 9/23/2009 3:01:54 AM Our beloved Charlie, our Lapa apso (sp?) , dog of many years is dying. I made a special trip to pick up our son ,Mark, to pay his final respects. We are saddened. Please note the time in this blog. Charlie wants to die. I grew up on a farm, and I know how animals behave on their last days. They, along with us humans, just want to be left alone on our last days. I would be the same. I looked for Charlie yesterday and he was in the garden next to our string beans. I will make a place for him in our garden. Just don’t tell our government. They’ll probably want to take that freedom to choose our pets burial also. I got to thinking about ALL the pets in our lives. My 1st pet was Tyke. I wrote about Tyke earlier. I was around 4 or 5 and Tyke and I were farm friends. We once went looking for turtle eggs together. Details on an earlier version in www.myownfaith2.com/blog We went through many pets back then, including cats. I remember a f...

IT'S MONDAY

IT’S MONDAY: 9/14/2009 4:21:25 AM Yes indeed, it’s Monday for all you workers. And thank you for working. Because of you, I am able to stay retired. How does that make you feel? This last week for me has been quite eventful. I have written about my journey in my previous writings, so I’ll NOT go through that again. I look forward , not backward. I ran into a reliv distributor while wandering around the state fair. We knew some common distributors, like the Blazics. I was not about to tell her my relationship with them or my immediate upline. BAD story. RELIV is a wonderful business. All one needs to know about RELIV is to ask. Ask me about RELIV. Last Saturday was the ā€œmillion mobsterā€ march in DC. If it weren’t for my commitments here at home, I’d have loved to be a participant. We sang a fun song yesterday at rally day at our church. Signed, emayormy@myownfaith2.com

LABOR DAY: 9/7/2009 5:17:26 AM I’M TRYING TO REMEMBER. What did I do on Labor Day when I was growing up? I don’t recall! Labor Day was meant just that .. Labor. We did our normal day’s routine. I don’t remember, but I think our culture back then treated Labor Day like just any other day. So with that in mind, I’m going to treat today just like any other day for my retired schedule. The only difference is Sally will be home with me all day. WOW! Maybe she can help around the house. Guess I’ll get my 2nd cup of coffee and post this somewhere on our web. L8r myron@myownfaith2.com

My Health

HEALTH CONCERNS .. (mine) 9/4/2009 5:03:45 AM I’m OK Yesterday I had my body checked over by www.lifelinescreening.com I recommend anyone who might be concerned about their health to take this test. I’ll not know the results for three weeks. If there was something serious, like a stroke potential, I would have been told immediately. No one seemed to be alarmed. Thanks everyone for your POSITIVE email replies. NO THANKS to you naysayers. I will now post this to my blog. www.myownfaith2.com/blog myron

The Lord's Prayer & laptop prayer

THE LORD’S PRAYER 2 September 2009 Our Father, which art in heaven Hallowed be thy name Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done On earth as it is in heaven.

Volunteerism

VOLUNTEERISM: 9/2/2009 4:48:32 AM Being a volunteer is an AMERICAN thing to do. I have just volunteered to work at a booth at the Kansas State Fair this year in Hutchinson KS. The volunteer coordinator called me last night and I signed up, with Sally’s permission. Currently, there’s a movement going on in our country called the Tea Party Express. These AMERICANS are all volunteers. These volunteers are going to end up in Washington DC protesting our BO administration. Here is my message to our BO President: ā€œPLEASE MR. PRESIDENT, PAY ATTENTION TO THESE VOLUNTEERS AND REPLY ACCORDINGLY.ā€ These signs that the folks have made are not to be ignored. Now if you’ll all excuse me, I’ve got some volunteering work to do. emayormy@myownfaith2.com

WeAkly-Weekly Video 8/29/9

MY WEEKENDS: Saturday, August 29, 2009 Good Morning! I am continuing my quest. And what is my quest? I don’t know, but whatever it is, I’m going to do it with zest. OH YA.. My weAkly/Weekly video is due to be filmed. What can I say this AM? How about my week? This week earlier started out with my health. I was dizzy and headachy. Now I’m watching the news and it appears that the funeral of Senator Ted Kennedy will be usurping my favorite financial news, Bulls and Bears. I’m hoping that PBS will still have my favorite TV program, RED/GREEN on at 8AM. Yesterday I attended another funeral, Janet Olson. Janet’s husband, Ray, died last Dec. They were members of our church for many years. 8/29/2009 7:48:18 AM While I’m uploading my latest weakly weekly video, I thought I’d ADD a few more words. The RED/GREEN TV program will be on in about 10 minutes or so. I want this to be finished by then. Our world is turning upside down. BIG government is taking over our life. At least big governme...

My Laptop

SO MANY WEBSITES, SO LITTLE TIME: 8/28/2009 5:36:28 AM OK .. I confess, I’m an Internet writer, can’t help it. I probably have hundreds of email addresses in my inbox. If you want to be removed from my address book, please let me know. I will be happy to remove you. I could care less. Then again, 8/28/2009 5:53:52 AM Where was I? My laptop went into one of those automatic modes and shut me down. I guess sometimes it’s a necessary evil. I was writing about removing email addresses from my laptop. I guess I’ll need to spend some time deleting these addresses. You never know whose behind those unknowns. Most of the time, these addresses bounce. I would love to meet these unknown email addresses in real person someday. Guess I’ll get busy doing this computer function. L8r myron@myownfaith2.com

My Health (replies)

MY HEALTH (replies) 8/27/2009 9:22:10 PM The other day I sent out a global email about my health and most everybody were concerned. I thank you for the positive replies. I would like especially thank my 1st cousin Martha for her email reply. I will now attempt to copy/paste her email to my MS word program so you can ALL enjoy her email. Here it is: Oh Myron, I am so sorry and am praying for you. I wish you would try our supplements because they really have made the difference in our compromised immune system and well being. Just maybe they would help you too? If you try them for about 5 months, save all the empty containers and receipts, you can get all your money back -up to 6 months out, if you are not satisfied. I know you have your own company and I am sure that they have good products too. Maybe the addition of our products would make yours and ours work together better than either could work separately, and just, well, I would love to see you better. I had a nice time wi...

GOOD MORNING: 8/27/2009 5:11:05 AM Life goes on, no matter what! Yesterday I thought I was going to die! My world was literally spinning around me. I was dizzy and I had a headache. So I had Sally call the life line screening people to set up an appointment for me. Unfortunately, the bill will be $150.00 with no insurance helping out. OH WELL .. Today, I’m hoping I can pick our son , Mark, up and we can go somewhere for lunch. Hopefully the city inspectors will approve our painting work. Where’s my VA check? Better get to work. myron@myownfaith2.com

WeAkly-Weekly Video 8/22/9

WeAkly-Weekly Video: 8/22/2009 5:48:11 AM Good Morning Everybody: Wake Up America! That’s my advice to anyone watching my weAKLY-WEEKLY video. To all you left wing liberals, I feel for you. WAKE UP !! My advice to you is to read good books, like Glenn Beck’s ā€œCommon Senseā€ and other conservative books out there. I only watch FOX on TV. I watch our local news so I can know what’s going on in this world. Jesus teaches us to be ā€œin the world, but not of the worldā€ So I need to be on top of our political world, and I for one do NOT approve! I’m one of those MOBSTERS that the left wing liberals label us. The good news is, Mark & I are working on our property. We were able to paint the city barn. We went through about 6 gallons of paint. Until next week .. WAKE UP AMERICA! myron@myownfaith2.com

UFFA! 8/17/2009 7:47:51 AM It hurts to even open my computer to write! I’m NOT in any mood to write right now. L8r 8/18/2009 4:40:55 AM MY MOOD: OK .. I’m in a better mood today. Yesterday was a wash. I went golfing Sunday afternoon with the church bunch. Around the 5th hole at Topeka Public, I started getting tired. Steve R. offered me a ride. I had to hold on to my pull cart with my right hand. I felt my tendon being stretched, but I continued playing. So yesterday I was in pain. Sally gave me some outdated analgesic cream to apply. It worked a little bit. I put some of those ā€œmagicalā€ pads on my right shoulder. NO HELP. So, we need to let Mother Nature take its course with the human body. I couldn’t even write to my blog! So I’m hoping today will be a better day. Remember, you have a Drs. Appointment at 9:30 AM today. Let’s get mydamobster@myownfaith2.com to work also. Myron

29th & Fairlawn Topeka KS

29th & Fairlawn: 8/14/2009 5:00:51 AM OK .. Let me write a little bit about yesterday. Yesterday we had a public meeting @ French Junior High regarding the intersection of 29th ST & Fairlawn. I live at 5112 SW 33rd ST in what is commonly referred to as the old farm addition. Sally & I first moved into our present location in Nov. 1973, some 35 + years ago. When we first moved her, our street was the last street as listed on a city map. Our children used to play in the fields south of us. There was a farm house where soutbrook apartments are now located. Sally & I are currently the oldest residing home owners on our block. The Springs across the street moved to a retirement community a few years ago. Our children, John & Mark, don’t know of any other place growing up. So I needed to go to this public meeting to see what the plans are for this intersection. I LIKE IT. Here were my thoughts from earlier suggestions: 1) Elevation Parkway (too expensive) 2) Round a ...

MY the MOBSTER

SLEEPNG GIANT: 8/14/2009 4:10:07 AM Good Morning. Well, I’m not a sleeping giant, just another mobster that my radio hero, SEAN HANNITY , likes to refer me as. Sean is asking everyone who calls to now have a nickname. How about my nickname being ā€œMy the MOBSTERā€ ā€œMyā€ is what my father-in-law nicknamed me years ago. I liked it. So ā€œMY THE MOBSTERā€ will be my nickname from here on. I read a few days ago a writer for our local paper, http://cjonline.com wrote about these anonymous bloggers posting their hate posts. She called then cowards. I couldn’t agree more! I’ll have to email her for her very good column. Last week, if you’ll refer back to my previous videos, I came out of my bunker wishing to remain anonymously. I wish to remain anonymous. My handle is now ā€œMY THE MOBSTERā€ My real name is Myron Holter Take that all you cowards!

My Faith

AMAZING GRACE: 8/11/2009 4:56:41 AM Amazing grace will lead me home. I love that song. I also love all those Christian songs, like Onward Christian Soldiers, etc. Our church here in Topeka KS, WWW.OSLCTOPEKA.ORG does not sing that song. In fact, I don’t know if any of the ELCA in the Lutheran faith sings that song anymore. WHY NOT? I want that song sung at my funeral, just for spite. Today, I’m going to meet up with my good friend Paul D. and we’re going to a town hall meeting in Tongonaxie KS to hear our state Senator Sam Brownback. Will I need to bring a gun? Hopefully the meeting will be peaceful. I’ll snap a few pictures if I remember to bring my camera. It’s scary out there. I’ve been watching FOX news and the liberals are going ballistic. Guess I’ll post this to our web. myron@myownfaith2.com

It's Monday

IT’S MONDAY: 8/10/2009 5:10:29 AM Yes indeed, it’s Monday and my laptop needed to be rebooted. Our political world is turning UGLY! Healthcare is a big issue out there. Sally & I are under the Federal Blue Cross Blue Shield Program and also under the military Tri-Care West Insurance program. So if you were to ask us, we like our insurance just like it is. If I were to be in a town hall meeting healthcare gathering, I’d be just listening. Our Politicians are mainly of my philosophical beliefs. I guess I’m the silent majority. Now I hear on FOX TV news that they’re canceling town hall meetings. What’s up with that? We lost electricity last night for about 40 minutes. We thought that it would be a long time before we got the juice back. I am so thankful to have the juice back so quick. Sally and I actually had to have a voice conservation without TV, Radio, computers, etc. Imagine that !! There are shouting matches throughout our country. I don’t hear on the news any local shouti...

Mission Statement

MISSION STATEMENT: 8/9/2009 5:56:40 AM Our mission statement has remained the same since Nov 2002. ā€œSally & I would like to share our FAITH on the web with ALL. We share the same FAITH as Billy Graham.ā€ Given that, now the Internet comes into existence. I often wonder what would Jesus do if HE had a computer? Yesterday I had Sally video me for another interview. Our country is going down the tubes, and I do NOT approve.

So Many websites .. So little time

8/4/2009 5:22:41 AM SO MANY WEBSITES .. SO LITTLE TIME: There is so much information out there on the web. As the webmaster for www.myownfaith2.com I need to keep going back to our mission statement. Yesterday I was able to scan my DD214 and let the military review board know about it. I made a blog also. Yesterday I also attended a newly formed Topeka 912 project. I’m on the states right committee. Sally is worried that I’m into too many things. Guess I’ll reread an email from brother Dale regarding being retired. It’s an appropriate email for me. I hear on the news that my beloved USPS is also losing lots of $$$ At least my retirement check arrives in our bank monthly. www.prc.gov is the web address to learn more.

GITMO ANSWERS

8/3/2009 5:56:01 AM GITMO: What a mess our BO prez wants to do to these terrorists. Now BO (our body odor) Prez wants these terrorists in my backyard upstate from Topeka, Fort Leavenworth KS. As another Presidential candidate in 2012, here’s my plans for these terrorists. Get with the military of the countries of the terrorist citizenships. Let’s say a terrorist is also a USA citizen. Get with the military commanders of the USA and find out where a good parachuting location would be, say Forbes Field. Topeka KS. I served my time at Forbes Field AFB btw. Send a plane to gitmo to pick up the fore mentioned USA terrorist. Have the terrorist parachuted and drop him/her over Forbes. Have homeland security warned of an impending terrorist attack. Have the MILITARY ready to shoot the terrorist down. WE’RE HAVING A TERRORIST ATTACK, JUST LIKE 911 !! Have the sirens going off and have the citizens’ watch the terrorist get shot down in mid air. I’ll be watching the anti-terrorist attack fro...

Technology

8/3/2009 5:09:33 AM HOLD ON! My DVR on my TV is recording everything in sight! I’ll write more later. WHEW!! I was manually erasing a series of programs and pushing a lot of buttons on my remote. Then I realized I had created a ā€œseriesā€ of programs, ā€œGlenn Beckā€ and ā€œlocal governmentā€. I found the remote button to erase the series and merely deleted the future recordings. It reminded me of a typical guy .. not following the rules of recording. It’s amazing how this technology in 2009 works! I miss the rotary telephone, party lines and black and white TVs. NOT REALLY Today is the first day of the rest of our lives and it’s also payday for us retirees. So I’ll need to move my laptop upstairs and do some productive work. Also, I told Mark that I’ll set him up with his own business. I take my promises to anyone very seriously. Guess I’d better get busy myron@myownfaith2.com

Wes & Janet's Lake lot

Our Grade School

Mark took this photo of Ronny & me. The backdrop is where we attended Eureka District #57, three miles north, one mile east of Bruce SD. Uncle Normy's farm was to the west of the old school. Normy moved the old school and used it for a garage years ago. We used to run over to Normy's farm to find lumber for our "CLUB" I attended grade school from 1951-59 Mrs. Coral Bombeck was my teacher for six of those years. Her daughter-in-law is my 1st cousin, Diane (Anderson) Bombeck. Lots of memories. Myron Holter

I said a little bit about ā€œBIG’Mā€™ā€ and I mentioned a little bit about my immediate family. I love ā€˜em all, even Kim. I miss a hug from my only granddaughter and I want my son back. For those of you watching this and reading my blogs, I have written a hand written bucket list and have posted it on page one of our web. Enough said.

7/23/2009 9:42:04 PM BRUCE SD Here we are in Bruce SD. Mark and I left around 10:00 AM from Topeka KS and arrived in Bruce around 6:30 PM We booked it! Or should I say I booked it, Mark does not drive. We drove right up to Delph & Leland’s and from there we went up to the ridge to eat supper. I showed Mark what I’d like to have him do with the granary writings. We’ll see if he gets his artistry done in time to make a float. I seriously doubt it. But Mark enjoys art and I’m always ready for him to share his skills with anyone. He brought his designs with him and I brought my website. So, between the two of us, we’re a team. I’m tired and I’m going to brush my teeth and go to bed. Tomorrow is a big day. No Internet from this computer, so I’ll need to upload my writings when I get home. Myron 7/24/2009 5:03:35 AM Well, here it is my usual time in getting up. While the coffee is brewing, I’ll write a little bit of our days journey. We met up with Pastor Wayne at the ridge. He was ...
