I guess the smile box video is timed and only lasts so long because it is no longer working. What a bummer. - I think that is very tacky - it didn't even last a month.

Life for Liberty Revolutionary Unit

Life for Liberty Revolutionary Unit - this is a group that I have just joined. - you will find information on this at http://www.lifeforliberty.org/ This is a group that is in the early planning stages of taking serious measures on being heard - the tea parties are a hiss and by word to the politicians. - I hope all of you will go to this site and read it before it gets shut down. Here are our demands - 1. Repeal the Federal Reserve Act - and return the power to issue money to the People via their elected Congress. 2. Repeal the 16th amendment (Income Tax) to a National Sales Tax 3. A balanced Budget Amendment (Our politicians have NEVER had the courage to pass this one) 4. State Sovereignty - repealing all compulsory federal legislation upon the individual states. 5. Enact a campaign limits to individuals to $100.00 annually. If you are a Patriot - go to this site and read important information. This is a new organization whose members are ready to give their all to the cause of Liberty including their lives, fortunes and sacred honor. Are you willing to stand with our Founding Fathers? I am VERY concerned for the future of my grandchildren. I want them to be free. I want the Constitution to stand. Go to the site and inform yourself and pray for us if you can do nothing else.

TEA PARTY 20,000 IN ATLANTA

WOW - It was a BLAST!!! We marched from Olympic Park by the fountains in Atlanta (and we picked up people along the way and gave them signs!) - passed CNN and AJC. We chanting as we went by CNN "CNN the media bias has got to STOP" - and held our signs high so that they could see through the window - but the cowards ignored us! When we went by the AJC - we chanted "AJC tell the world about our TEA Party!" Of course you know that they are so liberal and in the tank with socialism that they buried the article in the back pages and just said thousands attended. There were 20,000 plus people surrounding the capitol of Atlanta!! - I mean we were smashed up against eachother. We got to the capitol about 4:45 and you couldn't even get in front of the stage that was set up for Sean Hannity (that cutie pie - I love him!!) With every minute it just got more crowded so I told Bill and Staurt Brentlinger (he went with us) that I was getting closterphonia so we begin to work our way out of the crowd. People were around the Capitol on all four streets and spilling over into side streets!! It was exilterating and an honor to stand with fellow Patriots! Middle America gets it and knows we are loosing our country to socialism and facism - The signs were great - I will recall some of them for you - Saw one that said "Don't talk to me - I forgot my Teleaprompter!" - Pictures of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid - the real Pirates" "I'm Mad as Hell and am not going to take it anymore!!" Saw another that said "We came unArmed .... So far"; "Washington you work for us and you're FIRED!" Lots of signs for Fair Tax - Dad carried one of those - We saw Old, (even in wheel chairs, Young (children in wagons) teenagers, and middle aged people) By the way just average Americans unlike reported by Nancy Pelosi who said it was a protest by the rich. She is a mulit-millionaire - Anyway it was a great day for America - But now we are all on the Dept. of Homeland Security issued by Napalitano (their Lesiban leader) list as Right Wing Extremeist" - Well I am PROUD to be on the list along with the Veterans who fought for the freedom of this country. It was a great day and I am planning on writing letters to Washington especially Nancy Pelosi - The following are pictures from the Tea Day Tax Protest - Again we were not able to get close to the stage even at 4:30 PM - The sign with the Fair Tax - so high - this guy worked extensively on this sign and he had been at the post office all day with the sign - he handed out pamphlets telling people what the Fair Tax is and he said it was very receptive. - He had it mounted on a poll that would extend - He was just very creative - he lives in Northern part of GA. - I saw TRUE Patriots out there that love their country - They were giving their time and money - You know that Washington and other Patriots who fought for freedom gave their all - money too. - Nathaniel Green fought the British in the South - He FREED the south but lost everything - the British burned down his home and killed his family - by the time the war was over - he had nothing left! - A Greatful Georgia build him a home - WE all can give something for freedom because it is NOT free - There are forces at work to take it away.

Poster for Tea Party

Bill and I are heading for the Atlanta Tea Party April 15th -at the Atlanta Capitol. Sean Hannity will be speaking there - I am exicted to meet with all the patriots who love thier country. I am trying to decide what to put on my poster - here are some ideas that I have found -

1. DOWNSIZE D.C.!

2. Save the Ship - Throw the Tea Overboard

3. Give me Liberty or at least a Big Screen T.V.!

4. Fair Tax Now

5. The Difference between Death and Taxes is Death doesn't get worse every time Congress Meets!

6. Scariest sentence in the English Language - "We are the government and we're here to help you"

7. The problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money

8. Impeach Everyone Who Voted for Bailouts!

What do you think I ought to put on my sign? Choose two because there are 2 sides

False Document posted on Bond Family Blog

How sad that the Bond's in Houston would need to save face and go to the trouble of falsifying a Canasta game score sheet. No one dethroned the Queen - I have just been MODEST by remaining silent these days. Yes I would go so far as to call it compassionate for the Bond losers in Houston. But now that an injustice has been done, I will remain silent NO MORE. I will post the original score sheet for all the world to see. I did not want to do that because I know that to some people, who are so highly competitive, this will be humiliating. However, you have forced my hand. No, I fear NOT for my title. I remain the Queen of Canasta. Lies, cheats and scoundrels - I would never call my children such names but now that I have viewed their tactics - hum - I do say that you protest too loudly. (By the way Leighanna or Reid, whoever attached the sticky note you misspelled scoundrels. - Your false documents are sloppy.) The Queen lives on and in total bliss in her castle. Eat Cake my dears.

We Surround Them

We have joined a Meetup group in Fayetteville, GA - in response to Glenn Beck's "We Surround Them" plea to take our country back. We are very excited about the next meeting. We hope to meet new friends who have conservative values. Please join us or find a meetup group near you. They are starting up all over the country. Lets take our country back!!! You can find a metting place by searching the map - just google "We Surround Them" or "Meetup.com"

MY Baby- Picture Tag

Well, interesting this is one of my FAVORITE pictures. It is of MY BABY Carla at 3 years old standing in her night gown with her pink curlers that she insisted on having in her hair. She actually slept with them in her hair ALL NIGHT!! That's pretty good for a 3 year old. She is in the corner because she was in trouble. She had been crying. At that point in time there were NO blogs. And computers were NOT common in the home - but it was so cute and funny that I grabed my camera for her to see when she got older, and I just wanted to capture the moment for me so that I wouldn't forget what it was like having young children in the house. Although, its got extremely LOUD at times - I view those times as the best time of my life - even in spite of all Bill's traveling. Fond Memories for me. I love you Carla, and all of my children!

My little Pretty

I'll get you my little pretty!

Canasta Crown

I float like a butterfly ------

And I STING like a Bee ---

My Canasta Crown will never be taken from me!

The Queen still Reigns

Oh yes I am still the Queen of Canasta!! I went to Dana's house and had a lot of fun. I played "Clue" with the kids. They are pretty good at figuring out the clues and discovering who did it with what and where. However I still reign supreme in the Canasta arena. I smeared Dana! Poor thing she wanted to play again so that she could redeem herself but, yet again victory was elusive for her as the Queen still has not lost her touch. Maybe next time Dana. While the kids were at school we took a shopping trip. We went to the Edgewater Mall. Very pretty nice mall across the street from the ocean in Bolixi MS. We then had lunch at a cute Italian restaurant. We had fun. I was very pleased to see Eliza is a rolly-polly. She is fat all over. Such a wonderful change since she was born and so skinny and unhappy. She will even fold her arms at family prayer. She did this just by example of the other children. No one prompted her she just did it. The first time it was for the entire prayer! I was amazed. So... we tried to capture it on camera and of course then she would not perform. But anyway it was so cute. We also went to see Emma in her kindergarten play for President's Day. It was very enjoyable. They sang Patriotic songs. It was so enjoyable. Hat off to the Music teacher and Kindergarten teachers who put that together. The children will remember those Patriotic songs the rest of their lives. And they will need them because the America as we know it will probably not exists when they are adults. Anyway love to all - I had a blast and wish it could have been longer. The Queen must rest now.

Diagram of the Pacemaker

This is the diagram on how it works

My Heart

Well went to the doctor Monday- Heart Rate was at 37 which is low. He ran another EKG - My heart is just wild - irregular heart beats and very slow. He said that it will only get worse. March 17th I go in for Stress tests and a Echogram. That will take about 4 hours. Then on April 20 I will have a heart monitor for 24 hours - I think he is just making sure there is no heart diease which we did all this 4 years ago. He says that I need a pacemaker.

My Sweetheart

We went to the Jonesboro Stake Valentine's Day Dance - It was so... much FUN. Scott Felstead was DJing and he announced to the kids at the dance that he would be playing music from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. That this is the only dance in which the older generation gets to go to and that they would have to deal with it. We applauded! Because he played dance music instead of head banging music EVERYONE danced. It helps GREATLY when the DJ dances and KNOWS what is good dance music. We danced about every dance. It was great fun. Here is our annual Valentine Day picture - I told Dad that we were NOT centered but he doesn't care. Mike Day took the picture and his camera has the wrong date. Men! Allison I wish you were there to take really good shots. Oh yeah and I wore my RED SHOES - and I had on my diamond earings - it is so much fun to dress up.

As Good as its gets

It is great being Mutta!

Fighting

Well, another experience with "J" - Last week I was checking roll on the computer and a male voice said the "f" word loudly enough for me to hear it. It came from where J was sitting - I said I heard that and I am writing you up (I was mad because I just cannot have that in class) - It sounded like "J"'s voice. He jumped up yelling - "I didn't say that" - and I argued with him because they will lie to get out of an office referal - Oh and the girls in front kept saying yeah "J" said it - (They like/hate him and want to get him in trouble.) - and then he argues with them. Finally "A" said "I said it" then I said you're just trying to help him out. I could have sworn "J" said it. However, I do know that finally he will own up to what he has done - but this time he was angry and kept denying it. So he finally WALKED out of my class. I thought well now I have to write him up. - And I was beginning to think that he really didn't say it. Anyway, he was gone for about 10 minutes and I went about checking classwork and he came back in and sat down quietly - so... I asked "J" and "A" to come out in the hall with me. (I was praying the whole time that I could be inspired as to what to say because it was a very volitile situation) - I spoke to both of them - and said okay who said it. "A" said I did! I would not take the fall for him. I said well it sounded like "J"'s voice and I just thought you were trying to save him. Okay - I am not going to write anyone up - but you CANNOT cuss in my class. I want the spirit of the Lord in my room and that drives the spirit right out. Okay Mrs. Bond we will not cuss. -And then I told "J" you HAVE to learn to control your temper. I understand having a temper because I have one also. But you have to control it. I said you can be anything you want to be but you will blow it if you do not control your temper. So all was peaceful and calm the rest of the class period. Then the bell rang - after everyone left - "J" apoloized to me!!!! I mean NO student apolozies. They are just to proud to do that. Anyway - another victory in the road of teaching. It is SUCH a hard job because we deal with so... many personalities. One teacher said he made a student cry because he asked her to step out in the hall to collect herself because she was laughing so hard it was disruptive! - So she got all upset and was crying!!! - He said that's the difference in teaching accelerated classes - in regular classes - you can hit them up beside the head with a brick and its oh well. I mean it is so.. hard to read every personality.

My Pride, My Joy

This is my pride and joy! - Grandchildren - I am very greatful to be a Grandmother - it is so much fun. This picture was taken at Thanksgiving with some of my Porritt grandchildren and some of my Longnecker Grandchildren - Well, Gabe REFUSED to be in the picture and Kate and Anna stayed with Eric. - I MISS THEM ALL and MISS the others that are not in the picture, but I delight in the time that I get to spend with them! I love being their MUTTA!

Gospel Music

Bill and I have enjoyed gospel music especially the Bill Gaither Homecoming group. We always record it on Day Star Network every Saturday night. Anyway Ernie Haase told a story about when he was a little boy that his grandfather use to offer prayer with his hand on Ernie's heart and say - Lord I know you'll use this boy in your service because he has a good heart. - I thought what a wonderful idea to plant into a child's mind - that he has a good heart and the Lord will use him - I thought I would pass that along to all of you that you might use something similar in your prayers for your children, and name them one by one to the Lord. Anyway, they have a new CD out called "Dream On" and I really like it. We have Grandma Ida to thank for introducing this spirit inspired gospel music.

Glen Beck

Interview
I read on Meridan Magazine that Glen Beck was scheduled for an interview on "Focus on the Family" That is James Dobson's organization. It is a Christain organization that does a lot of good. Anyway, they cancelled his interview bascially because he is a Mormon which they knew but decided that it would be hypercritical to have him on because he does not believe in the same "God" or "Jesus" that Christians do. I think that it is a hoot. A faithful Latter Day Saint wrote in and asked exactly why. They wrote her back a long essay on why they differed with him and why Mormons are not Christains. Anyway, I personally don't give a rip that some think that we are not Christains. - I have dealt with so... many colleagues that are nice to me and we agree on some many things and then later I find out they are totally prejudice towards me because I am a Mormon. I saved the article I will email it to you if you cannot find it on Meridian Magazine.

Colds, The Bible, and King Tut

KING TUT
When Bill and I went to see the King Tut exhibit at the Atlanta Civic Center, I bought a calendar that is an 2008-09 calendar - but it has a lot of the pictures of the artifacts that were in the exhibit that wanted to take pictures of but could not. So I have laminated that calendar and then printed out their descriptions. All of this took hours~! But I plan to at some point hang thsm in my classroom. At this point my room is full and I will probably hopefully have to move at the end of the year because they are going to do repairs. I am praying I can move to a new classroom as my room is HOT every single day. Even in the dead of winter MY room is HOT. Anyway, its a small thing but I am excited that I got that done. Then I went to a exhibitmerchandising web site that was listed on the back of the calendar and bought 2 really cool books on King Tut. The books in the museum gift shop were very expensive. I hope you like my cool pictures! I worked very hard at getting them -

SICK

Well, my grandson Gabe, gave me a cold and diarrhea. I started getting sick Sunday night and have battled it with loads of Vit C and Viacam. Anyway I am much better now. I have used a lot of kleenex. I hope Gabe is doing better. I have been sicker this year than other years. Starting the New Year off sick is a bummer.

WEEK AT SCHOOL

I have had a rough week at school the kids are just wild. But I must say I did have a good experience also. A student I will call "J" who is definitely a problem in class - we have battled over and over - yet I like him and he likes me. In fact at times has said that I am his favorite teacher!! In spite that I have written him up over and over. I also had him in Middle School so the Lord seems to think that we NEED to associate with one another. Anyway- I had the kids in groups and everyone was working really well - a teacher's DREAM - the group he was in began to talk about God. I did not hear the conversation. But a girl in the group had a small New Testament pocket sized scripture. J had it - held it up to me and "Mrs. Bond find something in here that I need to read." I said Okay!!! - So in my mind I was praying that I could quickly find a scripture that would apply to him before the moment was gone. I opened it to Matthew 4 and read 1-4 : I said read this especially verse 4 - "man cannot live by bread alone." So he read it and yelled out to me - I don't know what that means (after the girl in the group tried to explain it to him). I said it means that you have to not only feed your body but you have to feed your spirit - your soul needs spiritual food. It was like a light bulb went on inside his head. He said - Oh... I get it - I am going to read more! NOW THAT IS A VICTORY - I have them in groups all the time - and I overheard him telling someone that he had a dream that scared him - someone came to him and told him that he had to change that the things he was doing was very wrong - He's into having sex with a girl in my class also - they are very free with that information. Anyway he said "I'm not stopping doing stuff I don't care, I ain't quiting! I wanted to intervein and give him council but decided since it was not directed to me that I would not. Anyway this was a small thing but could lead to great things. This kid is extremely smart but likes to argue and cause a big stir with me AND his classmates.

Dancing and Buttons

Isabel, Anna, Kate and I had fun dancing to the music in the office area.

Kate playing with the buttons.

Isabel and Kate were fascinated with all of my buttons - Isabel gleaned some buttons from me. She posed by the tree but this was only the beginning of her collection.

Continuing to Experiment

Dad and I went to the Atlanta Aquarium

Then we went to the Atlanta Civic Center to see the King Tut Artifacts - Absolutely no pictures were allowed there. It was amazing to see things that are about 2,000 years old. Amazing. They were small people - The bracelets were very small. We are larger now because we eat better I think. Anyway we had a lot of fun.

This is us at Christmas time - Don't we look festive in our red and our tree decked out. I am sad however, that the decorations and lights have to come down now and everything gets back to the old hum drum of things. I have to think of something to look forward to now. I know - getting more experience at blogging!!
