This IS correctly written (best I can tell) -- if a tetch awkward to read.
Betty Bowers created it:
Happy 4th of July to everyone in the only country God cares about! A verse from my video Histories of America: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSzZpVFZ2zw
>>> THIS POSTING WAS INSPIRED BY AN OVERNIGHT EMAIL, that I will address later, but FIRST:
1.
- That said, I must also tell you that I know many even of Fundamentalist or Evangelical Christians who have studied all these matters seriously and live by what Jesus taught. Too many OTHERS of that type so disrespect God that they abuse language -- the first and most important tool God gave humans to communicate correctly. While a person's use of poor or good grammar does not save or condemn them (and of course we all DO make some errors), it indicates their ability to prioritize goals and think logically. People who do not use good grammar do not care enough to think logically -- and for those uneducated on grammar for whatever reason, there are many books on the subject and it is easy and fast to learn.
- Now, beginning with you, I deliberately went out to try to find common ground with conservatives -- and was able to find a lot, BUT, what has happened is that most of those people have since then been busy posting hateful things on Facebook, and my communications with them has changed my Facebook algorithm of how Facebook displays things on my page, so that NOW, I have tons of FAKE Christians spewing hateful things in the name of Jesus (I don't mean you as much as some others) all over my Facebook feed, and I don't need that distraction -- as you know, I love to argue, HA!!!
- So, to continue to expose corruption of BOTH political parties, the Catholic and Episcopal Churches, especially, I am going to not block, but un-friend those who can't respect themselves enough to use the common American-English grammar the nuns would have rapped our knuckles for infractions of in fifth grade, if anyone DARED abuse the English language like so many do today. Without correct grammar, it is like measuring to bake a cake with no clue to tell the difference between one and half cup, and the fractions of table- and teaspoons. I realize a lot of people have now been home-schooled by people barely half-literate, and that is a lot of the problem.
- Anyway, I continue to wish you the best, and hope you won't take this personally.
- Scott

Dam hurricane — at Star-News. (I guess this means Justin now works for the WILMINGTON STAR NEWS -- or has "inside access" there -- and just like Elizabeth Redenbaugh's Facebook thread above, MANY others commented, here, things like, "Oh no!" or "I'll be over in the morning with my chainsaw to help!")
Interesting to note that of the forty or so comments now on this thread, only the first two of mine were "Liked" by anyone!!!

>>> EXCERPT FROM AN EMAIL TO A NORTH CAROLINIAN LIVING IN PUERTO VALLARTA:
On top of everything, today I sent my Windows 8 computer (FAR FASTER than Windows 7 -- and while tricky to learn, an improvement), to my computer doctor. In fact I have found nearly everything our group's members warned me about 8 NOT to be true). Both the operating system and Office Professional 2010 that the Official Toshiba Repair (here in Vallarta), installed after specifically saying they could NOT install more than the operating system -- all they were responsible for (the keyboard stopped working after a month -- warranty work) -- have suddenly after ten months begun telling me they must be REGISTERED, or will STOP WORKING in four more days, but I can't register them without special GROUP access keys meant for big group sales and since THIS Windows 8 is actually half in English, half in Spanish and keeps offering to UPGRADE to Windows 8.1, but does not allow me to do that either, I figured spending $50 to wipe it all and install REAL STUFF was worth it.
And given all of THAT, I suppose my comments on W-8 are meaningless, since what I had was so strange.
Next, Colin's report came in, and it sounds good, but his Brit way of excoriating Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (Treacle Dee and Treacle Dum), will mean NOTHING to the American Christians, but I'm glad he's standing up to them and I intend to let them have a few pieces of my mind as well (very sharp ones), at the first opportunity that presents itself -- realizing that they will listen more to ME because they ONLY care about who is bigger and stronger. I'm non-violent, but am not above giving them the impression that I could be violent.
Anyway, after my evening nap and these various events, I feel TOTALLY DISCOMBOBULATED tonight, and think you might be right that I should quit cigs totally and get lost in a bag of smokin'-hot pot. Don't suppose you could use a REFRESHER . . . LOL!!!
Forgive my excesses -- I know not what I do. That said, this happens to me in rare times just before important BREAK-THROUGHS of understanding, so actually, I look forward to my NEXT SURPRISE.
I hope it is not a Mexican jail term for altercations with The Jaw and the Saved Dentist . . .
