When to Shut Up!

Posted in Family, History, Politics, Sports by 
A thought from the past! My dad used to say:

My dad used to tell me similar words to Abraham Lincoln’s words below. He advised me that Silence is Golden when he brought me as a youngster on house calls with him where he repaired TV’s (and such) as an electrical technician.

Silence is golden:

Later in life, some of the pretty young girls who saw me when I was on-call with my dad remembered me. They looked me up once they grew up so fine and lovely. Who knew that they noticed me when I sat silently in their living room or den? Thank God that my dad had taught me to SHUT UP.

When I was a youngster:

The link below also  explains my nickname on another post. On Reply 2/2 at that post, I say to scroll down to see. NEVERMIND! Do not click the link “HOW DID I GET THE NICKNAME.” That is too much convoluted scrolling, etc. just to chase that rabbit down the rabbit hole. I just tried it again, and that is too hard  tracking behind that rabbit. DON’T DO IT. I already explained it enough right here, thank you.

A Note About Shutting Up!

Did the Supreme Court tell LADY JUSTICE (as in, the scales of American justice are equally balanced and blind) to shut up when it handed Donald Trump an illegal/unjust victory in the New York Attorney General’s case that he lost? With this current Supreme Court,  justice will never prevail when it comes to Trump. Justice does not prevail even when he loses in the lower courts.

A similar question ref: shutting up is posed about the 2 guys below:

Who are Democrats below alluding to who needs to remain silent in order to hide their foolishness? De Niro or Trump?

UPDATE: The picture disappeared from the link. I am working on correcting the link.

Meanwhile, in the picture below, I am saying a Hail Mary for intercessory prayer ref: a pickup truck for myself which I need for roof work and other things. I am reminded of when quarterback Roger Staubach prayed a Hail Mary for what became known as the Hail Mary pass to defeat Minnesota with a long bomb in the last minutes of their playoff game in the 1970’s.

Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee!
Arch Manning (Peyton's nephew) didn't start for Texas in 2024.

Reports had said that 2023 starter Quinn Ewers was not guaranteed the starting QB job in 2024 if he came back.

N.O. Saints’ Dilemma.

UPDATE: ⚜️ The Saints are confirmed to be sticking with Dennis Allen and Derek Carr (as expected) through at least next season, but all rumors point to New Orleans moving on from Pete Carmichael as the offensive play caller. Long overdue.

What I previously wrote: Am I the only one who sees it? It is not Derek Carr at all. It is the way the stupid coaches stick Taysom Hill in and out at QB totally disrupting Carr’s momentum. They should play Taysom like everyone else… in the conventional, professional football way. Carr (and #JameisWinston) are fine if you stop yanking them in and out for Taysom in the middle of their offensive series. It is juvenile and #bushleague.

Leave Carr alone.
How did I get my nickname Ferdie Werdie?

My grandfather Sidney Cates gave me the nickname Ferdie Werdie when I was about 5 yrs old and it has stuck ever since.

Ferdie Werdie

I also put the answer on Twitter about who gave me my nickname.

Public Warning

Beware of where you aim your eyes. You do not want to wind up with brain damage.

N.O. Saints’ Dilemma

Posted in History, Sports by

GAZETTE (Sept. 26) — I told y’all that it is dangerous playing around with hypnotism trying to reach the Cosmic Portal to get spiritual readings and such. I have been trying to get readings about the Saints games for y’all.

My trying to do self-hypnosis and readings with the limited tools that I have could be dangerous to me – could even kill me. That is what I have been picking up from the fast radio bursts in the Universe while trying to put myself under.

Two occurrences have happened with me over the last two weeks that have thrown my Cosmic “mojo” completely into a spin. I have been trying to work myself out of this. We have all heard that dealing with the spiritual realm in a laissez-faire manner can be very dangerous. It could kill you or send you into insanity (or worst).

Self-hypnosis and certain meditation methods might throw you into the wrong realm. I know that y’all have heard about the Bermuda Triangle (the Devil’s Triangle). What is it? I have “seen” from Fast intermittent radio Bursts that the Bermuda Triangle is a Portal on earth to another place or places. I know where, but I want to hold that close to my vest for now.

Meanwhile, what about Saints vs. Atlanta on Sept. 29:

MY TAKE on the Saints vs. Atlanta on Sept. 29 is relative to their NFL NETWORK Week 4 Power Ranking (still in the top 10) going into this game. On the Saint’s ranking going into Week 4: with their All Pro center out and w/o bruiser Taysom Hill available to make those all-important, tough yards for the valuable 1st downs, the Saints are a different team. They need those 2 tough guys in there to remain high in the rankings.

Carr needs his All-Pro center

The guys below are referring to whom to shut up? De Niro or Trump?

They should play Taysom like everyone else… in the conventional, professional football way. He is a wonderful bruiser for those tough yards and valuable first downs. Carr is fine if you stop yanking him in and out for Taysom in the middle of their offensive series. It is juvenile and #bushleague.

The Hail Mary

Posted in Family, History, Religion by

GAZETTE (October 28, 2024) — I am praying for a smooth and peaceful Presidential election on November 5.  America does not need another insurrection like in 2020, lasting until even now. The election-steal insurrection and lies are a stain upon the legacy of America. Plus, it is criminal.

Many people prayed on Sept. 11 for intercession to the ears of God during Hurricane Francine in Louisiana. Also, we pray for the victims of Hurricane Helene in Florida along the East Coast. “Sancta Marie (Holy Mary), pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen! ” — Our Lady of Prompt Succor.

Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee!

In the picture below, I am saying a Hail Mary (Marie in French) for intercessory prayer, including: intercessory prayers for me of praise and thanksgiving. “I thank you, Abba Father. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are your works; and of that, my soul knows full well.” I am reminded of when quarterback Roger Staubach prayed a Hail Mary for what became known as the famous Hail Mary pass to defeat Minnesota with a long bomb in the last minutes of their playoff game in the ’70’s.

Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee!

Mary is Marie in French!
In France, Marie is derived from the Latin Maria (Stella Maris) which means “star of the sea.” However, of course, it is also the biblical name Mary because it is the French version of the name Mary and Maria, the holy virgin mother of Jesus.

GAZETTE (Sept. 13) – I wanted to say that I am studying the verse from the Scriptures that led me to say that I walk today by faith and not by sight. I am considering that this might be my New Year’s resolution for 2024: to walk by faith and not by sight all of this year. That is why I am studying this verse in order to draw up my blueprint on how to do this. I will say more later on, and take you on a visit down this rabbit hole with me. Why did I say this, and why am I studying this verse from 2 Corinth. 5:7?

Meanwhile.

The Assumption of Mary is the belief that the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, was taken into heaven at the end of her life, body and soul. This is the glorious fruition which began when the Lord sent the Archangel Gabriel to appear to Mary when she was a teenager.

When the Archangel Gabriel was sent to Mary by the Father, he greeted her, “Hail Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with you” (Luke 1:28). Then, when Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth who was already pregnant with John the Baptist, John lept with joy inside of Elizabeth’s womb at the approach of Jesus inside of Mary. Elizabeth exclaimed, “Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb” (Luke 1:41-42).

The angel had said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
Luke 1:30-33

The Church affirmed the divinity of Jesus.

The Council of Ephesus, the 3rd Ecumenical Council, confirmed that the Virgin Mary was not just Christ-bearer as Nestorius, Patriarch of Constantinople, declared, but also God-bearer because Jesus was God and Christ. Thus, the council added the third sentence and created the Hail Mary prayer.

The Hail Mary
Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

To this day, followers of Nestorius’ declaration and many Protestants dishonor Mary and the divinity of Jesus by refusing to accept the Hail Mary prayer when prayed by such “God-bearer” believers even though the mouths of the Archangel and cousin Elizabeth declared these very words in the Holy Scriptures.

This reel below sings the words of the angel in Latin to Mary. AVE MARIA!

Popeye the Sailor Man

Posted in Entertainment, History, Movies by

I was recently tickled to see that Popeye the Sailor Man cartoons were integrated.

I recently saw in a cartoon on TV that the show had a diverse cast. See a minority in the picture in the bottom row, left.

Then, I wanted to say that one of my favorite foods is soft shell crab.
