Dogs Rock - Bonus Post

-
I ran across this a few years ago, and I kept it. This is a follow-up to the previous post. There are two take-away messages from this:
1) We're just human and we don't know everything. We haven't even been told everything.
2) While we're here we should try to keep our sense of humor. Laughing at ourselves is the best way to stay humble.


These two churches are across the street from each other, and each has a church billboard in the front. This is the exchange on the billboards during one week a few summers ago.

Our Lady of Martyrs Catholic Church (OLOM): ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN

Beulah Cumberland Presbyterian Church (BCPC): ONLY HUMANS GO TO HEAVEN READ THE BIBLE

OLOM: GOD LOVES ALL HIS CREATIONS DOGS INCLUDED

BCPC: DOGS DONT HAVE SOULS THIS IS NOT OPEN FOR DEBATE

OLOM: CATHOLIC DOGS GO TO HEAVEN PRESBYTERIAN DOGS CAN TALK TO THEIR PASTOR

BCPC: CONVERTING TO CATHOLOCISM DOES NOT MAGICALLY GRANT YOUR DOG A SOUL

OLOM: FREE DOGS SOULS WITH CONVERSION

BCPC: DOGS ARE ANIMALS THERE AREN'T ANY ROCKS IN HEAVEN EITHER

OLOM: ALL ROCKS GO TO HEAVEN

Why I cancelled The Bauman Letter

-

I signed up for The Bauman Letter, edited by Ted Bauman and read it for a few months. His father is a well-known member of The Sovereign Society and Ted contributed for years. I like Ted's writing style and read his letter for the nuggets of information I could glean. One month he recommended a company in Australia for holding my gold. If I had a hundred grand in gold, maybe I'd go that route. Then again, maybe I'd bury it in the back yard like the old Romans. I cancelled his newsletter after reading his October issue. Ted posted ten pages of glowing prose for the 1291 Group of the Americas . I was impressed by his report and thought this might be a company I could park my IRA with and not worry about it. (We've been burned by local investment advisors who lost large chunks of our investment and still took their overly fair share of fees, so we're hyper-cautious.) Ted especially praised Erika Nolan, the CEO of this prestigious firm. Ted forgot to menti

FBAR Scam, but not illegal

-

FBAR (not to be confused with FUBAR, but the one can lead to the other) is a government required Foreign Bank Account Reporting that you must file if you have one or more foreign bank accounts that total more than $10,000 in assets. It is another of the methods the USA uses to track illegal drug trafficking money. I won't comment on how effective it all is, but there is a sort-of scam you need to be aware of. Yeah, you didn't want to read all that. Here's the scam. If you google FBAR, the very first link reads: Fbar Filing - FinCEN Foreign Bank Accounts Form - eFileFBAR.com and links to www.efilefbar.com. Don't click it! It's a legitimate link and they ask you all the correct FBAR questions. When you finish, they want you to pay them $350 to file for you ! Go to the FREE Government Link The government web site asks exactly the same questions, in exactly the same order and then lets you file for  FREE  with the USA. So what the "efilefbar

I l istened to Mister Bojangles by Bob Dylan the other day as I walked. I wanted to be him, to dance, leap so high and lightly touch down. The song continued and I realized I am his beloved companion, the dog. YOU, Darling, are Mr Bo Jangles. Dance, dear heart. Dance. Then lightly touch down. I love you forever.
