Name:

This site has been set up to share thoughts and photographs with friends and relatives regarding Peter. This is a work in progress and will change and improve as time goes on. Our thoughts and ideas are, just that, ours. They may or may not agree with Peter's, but that's what makes the world go around (and seems to be an endless source of enjoyment). If your not going to respect Peter's opinions, than please continue reading. He is a conservative in every sense of the word. He feels that a civilized society cannot function without rules and regulations, rights and obligations. Letting the past guide us keeps our society from falling into chaos. Keeping the things that work, to allow for order and freedom, freedom for all, not just the special interest groups. Peter has come to realize that life is short. We should tell the people that we love that we love them as often as possible. One never knows when this may be ones last opportunity to do so. By the way, we will all be watching what is said, not doubt even his mother may very well be reading this. And YES, please wear your shoes into the Parlor!

Trout


I have returned from the deep, dark, dank woods and my flippant folly of fly-fishing has brought me gaiety, gravity and gout. My many steps up the massive, multiple mountains brought me to a higher, heavenly habitat and I now constantly, crave continuation of these purely prodigious pursuits.

c-a-n-n-a-b-i-s. If there is a patron saint for spelling, Expat you should pray to him or her. Heck, if there is an idol, you should kill a chicken or something. I'm sure you can find someone in Spain with a sacrificial altar you can use if necessary.

ARKANSAS CITY (EAP) -- A Little Rock woman was killed yesterday after

>other people were injured after a twenty-car pile-up resulted from
>people trying to avoid hitting the woman, who was apparently convinced

>"She started screaming `He's back! He's back!' and climbed out through

>husband of 28-year-old Georgann Williams who was pronounced dead at the

>Williams said. She thought the rapture was happening and was convinced
>that Jesus was gonna lift her up into the sky," he went on to say.

>"This is the strangest thing I've seen since I've been on the force,"

Thought for the day:

At a French airport, a group of American retired teachers went to tour France. Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, was part of the tour group. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry-on.


"You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically.

Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.

"Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."

The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."

"Impossible!" barked the officer. "Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France."

The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained. "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in '44 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show it to."

1. Only in the Deep south could something like that occur. Only some bible thumping evangelical protestant would be so stupid as to do something like that. I have a feeling that when the end comes, the cataclysm before Jesus comes to take us will let us know that he's a commin'!
2. If there had been any frenchmen to greet the Americans on D-Day, that weren't wearing the dark grey uniforms, they would have been collecting a tax as the soldiers disembarked! If they knew how to hang their heads in shame, they should, the only thing they know how to do is drop their pants!!!!!

I beliee a lay person can baptize another. Expat, if my memory serves me, didn't Archie baptize Gloria and Meathead's baby after the Stivics refused to do it, as they were pinko commie athiests?

4:18 AM  
Blogger Expatriate_in_spain said...

Well, Dr. F., it's more difficult than that. It depends on what brand of Protestant Archie was, I don't remember which church the Rev. Fletcher, Felcher, whatever, belonged to. It may be that Archie was graced with the ability to baptize into that church. I will beg pardon here as it has been a long time, but I believe that a lay Catholic can baptize a dying person wanting to convert if there is no one else there to do it. A Catholic can hear a dying Catholics confession, if there is no priest available and give conditional absolution, if and only if, it is an emergency, but they then have to go to a priest and make the confession for that person. Am I right Don M, or have I begun to forget those things that once gave mettel to my sword of faith.

Mary had better start protecting the pope, and all of us for that matter, before the crazy Muslims do something really nutty. I saw where there was an attack on an Anglican Church, in retaliation for what Benedict said (which, by the way, was completely true!).

N-E-U-T-R-O-N. While I agree with your sentiment, I'd prefer competency in spelling along the way-that's all. I'd is hard to make intelligent argument if you sound like a boob. They(read Muslims) are idiots, don't be a Muslim. I believe Hamilton wrote in the first of the Federalist Papers about the fire and sword not ever converting anyone to any other idea.

The former St. Christopher is (was) the patron saint for travellers. He has nothing to do with lost anything, except maybe when one goes east on Rt. 80 instead of west and winds up in East Orange. But that is a travel kind of lost. It which time he inspires you to write WEST on the reverse side of the sun visor.

It is truly unfortunate that Spilly did not have the opportunity to have experienced our beloved Dominican sisters. She, only experienced the sisters of no-mercy.

I have to weigh in here. While only at DA for 3 years, I still have fond memories of the Dominican Sisters. They were stern, but kind. There are of course, exceptions to every rule, and I knew a few-like Sr. Jessica, that made Sr's of Mercy look good. They seem largely though like frustrated Irish washerwomen. The meanest group of nuns I've encountered. I think pain is their mission. Plenty of Orders are very sweet.

It's the same thing in the closed mind. You drink Fosters, does that make you Australian? There is often a blending that should not take place, but since most Americans today don't study geography and think that Spain is in South America and don't know the difference between Spanish and Hispanic, Mexican food is served in "Tapas" bars.

I fear Milhous is dead. I think that this is an example of eurosnobbery. The elitists in Spain do not want to admit their poorer cousins existence. They spawned the cultures yet want nothing to do with them, much like a red-headed step child. No matter how you spread the salsa, it's Spanish. I'd think the Spics would be proud of their western cousins. They actually work. I just spent the weekend with a group of Mexicans, and they work like dogs. The Spanish in Spain work like-well Mexicans(insert an image of the Frito Bandito) So the Spanish in Spain should raise a toast of Tequila to the Spanish in the Americas. Arriba! Andale!

4:48 AM  
Blogger Expatriate_in_spain said...

The legacy of the British Empire is the disaster that exists in Africa and the middle east. The British created false geographical lines that split up the strong tribes and made the weak tribes more numerous in that geographical location and the british authorities put them in charge. This only leads to trouble. They created the entire Raj set in India which trampled the people and let's not even talk about how they bungled the Middle East. They completely midmanaged the entire Irael question and then, Pilate like, washed their hands of the situation. So, my friend, although their utter mismanagement of the North American colonies through neglect led to self sufficientness and entrepeneurial spirit, which in turn, with the public school led to democracy, they badly bungled the rest. So their first failure, which accidentally led to the greatest democracy on earth has to spend most of it's time cleaning up the mess the british left in the rest of the world. I will say, the governed Jamaca well, I guess they get 1/2 a point for that. Try and pass through Heathrow Airport someday, then you'll experience some real british "freedom and democracy!"

As for the tacos, I can only quote the great philosopher Dave Barry, "In Spain, attempting to obtain a chicken salad sandwich, you wind up with a dish whose name, when you look it up in your Spanish-English dictionary, turns out to mean: Eel with big abcess."

2. Why would anyone want a chicken salad sandwich, anyway?

Shocked, I am, that one would think such things. No, no, fear not, I still very much walk on the correct side of the street. It is just, that Dr. F and I have different taste in women. Many times he has suggested that some of my favorites such as Marisa Tomei, Jessica Alba and Salma Hayek are not his type, as such this chickie is not my type. That does not mean to say that she is not attractive, oh, forsooth, she is just that. I simply prefer Marisa (tick, tick, tick). Forgive the misunderstanding.

Many thanks Dr. F. I'm glad that Expat clarified things a little. I was getting worried. I am now though, after all of this Dr. F. exposure wondering who is the high libido mediterranean? Dr. F. or Expat? Hmmm.

Remember, jo jo, that Dr. F's brother has the psychological disorder that he has because Dr. F. got all the male cromostones (Archie Bunker spelling) and all the testosterone of the male children in his family. Yet, Dr. F. is still all bark and no bite. Dr. F. drives the fidelity wagon, so it's just lost of bragadoccia! Ask him about his sister in law with the big.... Dr. F is an admirer from afar!

Yes, yes, Dr. F. do tell!

Yes, yes, I am an admirer of my sister in law from afar, so true. Though, the hugs she gives me UP CLOSE are to good to be shared. :)

And I'll have you know that as far as driving the fidelity wagon, well.....

Dr. F. there is nothing wrong with that car. Sometimes the brakes squeak, and the shocks are a little soft, but she runs ok. Pictures of sportscars on your walls are one thing, but the insurance and the monthly payment are hell.

Blame this on Oprah....

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A new study has found a "substantial" drop in U.S. men's testosterone levels since the 1980s, but the reasons for the decline remain unclear. This trend also does not appear to be related to age.

The average levels of the male hormone dropped by 1 percent a year, Dr. Thomas Travison and colleagues from the New England Research Institutes in Watertown, Massachusetts, found. This means that, for example, a 65-year-old man in 2002 would have testosterone levels 15 percent lower than those of a 65-year-old in 1987. This also means that a greater proportion of men in 2002 would have had below-normal testosterone levels than in 1987.

"The entire population is shifting somewhat downward we think," Travison told Reuters Health. "We're counting on other studies to confirm this."



Travison and his team analyzed data from the Massachusetts Male Aging Study, a long-term investigation of aging in about 1,700 Boston-area men. Data from the men were collected for three time intervals: 1987-1989, 1995-1997, and 2002-2004.

While a man's testosterone level will fall steadily as he ages, the researchers observed a speedier decline in average testosterone levels than would have been expected with aging alone.

Anything like that in Mass. makes me nervous. There are too many Democrats to have a normal level of testosterone. They don't call us the 'Gay State' for nothing. Now if they did a comparative testosterone study down at the Fish and Game I think they'd find appropriate to high levels of the stuff.

Blogger Expatriate_in_spain said...

I think there is probably a corresponding relationship between gunpowder and testosterone. Gun owners probably have more testosterone, which would explain the democrat/homo relationship.

That was the newly emasculated Dr. Franklin, he went from being an American to being a democrat! He sold us out for a bag of silver.

But I can spend that silver at helping the local businessman at local liquor stores and not buy wine and Stop & Shop!

10:45 AM  
Blogger Dr. Franklin said...

I think he wanted Richard Nixon to run a liquor store?

1:17 PM

Him or Billy Carter. Maybe Billly was runing the Liquor store, Joe Kennedy Sr to oversee an election, and Nixon to control Hotel Security at the "Bill Clinton Breast awareness benefit".

I'm sorry, I was refering to the fact that Dr. F left the box blank next to the name of a gubanatorial candidate! He voted on the correct way on the question but sat on the fence for gov. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem! (or so said the sign on Sr. Pat's homeroom wall)

Oh, Dr. Franklin, you who suffered through that BA. I know it all but taxed you. I, on the other hand took an MA and a JD and did the course work for a PhD in English Lit. OK, Mr. "I want to be a meteorogist" and your doing the weather on ch. 4?
