WISHING YOU AND YOURS THE VERY BEST FOR THE COMING NEW YEAR!

MAN MOUNTAIN DEAN AND FRIENDS!

I HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT CHRISTMAS I WENT TO SPEND SOME TIME TIME WITH MY DAUGHTER AND 15 YEAR OLD GRAND SON HE HAS SO MUCH SPONK AND WATCHING HIM MAKES ME KIND OF SAD BECAUSE MINE HAS GONE UP AND WENT A LONG TIME AGO! I WAS ABLE TO THROW A FEW BALLS TO HIM BUT MY
OLD AGE WAS SHOWING
I MUST ADMIT I ENJOYED MY SELF UNTIL HE GOT BOARD AND WENT TO HIS ROOM
I SAT AND WATCH TV (WHICH I HATE BECAUSE THEY ARE REPEATING EVERYTHING!)
I CAME HOME TODAY WHICH WAS CLOSE TO A 4 HOUR TRIP. GAS PRICES ARE STILL
VERY HIGH SINCE WE HAVE NOT HAD A PIPELINE MISHAP OR A HURRICANE. WELL THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO POST TODAY
JUST A REMINDER IF YOU'RE GOING TO DRINK FOR THE NEW YEAR,
DONOT DRIVE I WANT TO SEE YOU HER AT MY BLOG SAFE AND SOUND IN 2007!
GOOD BLESS YOU BE SAFE AND OF COURSE FROM ALL OF US HERE TO YOU OUT THERE!
HAPPY
NEW
YEAR!
MAN MOUNTAIN DEAN AND FRIENDS

CHRISTMAS AND THE NEW YEAR, IS SO NEAR AND THE YEAR HAS PASSED SO FAST! SPRING AND SUMMER IS GONE AND FALL AND WINTER MARCHES ON,
WE GIVE THOUGHT THIS TIME OF YEAR TO ALL THAT GOD HAS BLESSED US WITH!
GOOD FRIENDS, FAMILY FOR SOME, SADNESS TO SOME AND GLADNESS TO SOME.
WE STOP AND GIVE THANKS FOR "BLESSING THAT WE HAVE"

FOR OUR CHILDREN, BECAUSE THERE ARE LOTS OF FOLKS WITH NONE>
FOR OUR DAILY BREAD, WE PRAY FOR THOSE WITHOUT>
FOR OUR HEALTH, WE PRAY FOR THOSE THAT ARE ILL.
WE THAT HAVE A SAFE PLACE WITH A ROOF OVER OUR HEADS,>>>
WE PRAY FOR THOSE WITHOUT.
SO WHEN WE ARE ASKED TO OPEN OUR HEARTS TO THOSE IN NEED,
PLEASE CONSIDER ALL THAT GOD HAS BLESSED YOU WITH. THE FOLLOWING SONG HAS GIVEN ME AND MY FAMILY COMFORT IT HELPED ME THROUGH A LOT OF THINGS THAT GOD PUT ME BEFORE ME AND I AM THANKFUL FOR THE WORDS AND THE MEANING.
I PRAY THEY GIVE YOU COMFORT TOO.

AND NOW WITHOUT ANY MORE POEMS OR PREACHING ON MY PART HERE IS THE WORDS TO "COUNTING MY BLESSINGS" AND MY PRAYER FOR YOU IS THAT YOU HAVE MANY!

"COUNTING MY BLESSINGS"

When I'm worried
and I can't sleep
I count my blessings instead of sheep
and I fall asleep
Counting my blessings!

When my bankroll is getting small
I think of when I had none at all
And I fall asleep
Counting my blessings!

I think about the nursery
And I picture curly hair,
as one by one
I count them as they snuggle in their beds

So if you're worried, and you can't sleep!
Count your blessings instead of sheep!
and you'll fall asleep
counting your blessings!


Just think about that nursery and you picture curly hair
and one by one you'd count them as they snuggle in their beds,

So if you're worried and you can't sleep count your blessings
instead of sheep and you'll fall asleep!
COUNTING YOUR BLESSINGS!

I HOPE THIS WILL BRING YOU PEACE IN THIS TIME OF
TURMOIL IN THE WORLD. "JOY TO THE WORLD AND PEACE ON EARTH TO MEN OF GOOD WILL!"
I BELIEVE WITH ALL MY HEART THAT THERE ARE MEN AND WOMEN OF GOOD WILL OUT THERE. WE HERE SO MUCH ABOUT BAD PEOPLE, I AM GLAD THAT THEY SPOTLIGHT SOME OF THE GOOD FOLKS THAT WORK SO HARD THU OUT THE YEAR
TO BRING SOME JOY TO FOLKS THAT ARE IN THE HOSPITALS NURSING HOMES AND HOMELESS SHELTERS AND SAY I "COUNT MY BLESSING LORD THANK YOU!!
BIG DEAN and FRIENDS


WISHING TO LOVE AND JOY OF THE SEASON!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR
MAN MOUNTAIN DEAN AND FRIENDS!

THIS IS THE TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN CHRISTMAS PUTS ALL OF US IN A
GOOD MOOD WELL IT IS ALSO THE TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN THE
FOLKS OF THE JEWISH FAITH HAVE HANUKKAH
SO I THOUGH IT WOULD BE NICE TO WISH THEM A HAPPY HOLIDAY TOO.

THE STORY IN THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE JEWS TRY TO LIGHT THE
MENORAH BUT THERE WAS ONLY ENLUGH OIL FOR ONE DAY.
THE CANDLES STAY LIT FOR 8 DAYS WHICH IS WHAT THIS HOLIDAY
IS ABOUT.
SO TO ALL MY JEWISH FRIENDS:LAKIEM!



FROM GARFIELD, TOMMY, LULU, MARY, GRINCHIE OLD GRINCH, MAX
AND ALL THE REST OF THE GANG
AND OF COURSE, LITTLE OLD ME
MAN MOUNTAIN DEAN

HI FOLKS I DON'T WANT TO BE A "KILL JOY"
BUT WE HERE IN THE SOUTH MAINLY SPEAKING KENTUCKY ARE GETTING HIT
WITH TEMPS IN THE SINGLE DIGGETS. WE MUST BE VERY AWARE OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN. SO I AM GOING TO GIVE MY BEST ADVISE TO YOU. I KNOW THAT MOST KNOW OF THESE SIMPLE RULES BUT THOUSANDS LOSE THEIR LIVES EACH YEAR
DUE TO LACK OF KNOWLEGE OR FORGETFULNESS!

ALWAYS DRESS IN LAYERS: IF you can dress in layers this will help keep the body heat in.

COVER YOUR HEAD! It is a fact that a lot of body heat is lost through your head! (Heat rises to the top)

WEAR GLOVES,AND BOOTS AND HEAVY COATS.

OUR OLDER FOLKS:
PLEASE CHECK ON OUR OLDER FOLKS TO SEE THAT
THEY ARE DOING OK IN THIS WEATHER
Our government has cut down on services to
the elderly. A lot don't have money
to heat their home. To me this sucks when we are throwing billions into Iran ect and we don't have enought for Americans seniors.
Please knock on the door or call a eldery person and make sure they are ok in this cold weather.
In Il. they have found 3 elderly folks dead from frostbite and no heat! What a shame! This should not happen!

NOW FOR YOUR PETS:
LOTS OF US FORGET OUR PETS THEY NEED SHELTER TOO!
Bring your dog or cat inside if you can. this is the best way to protect them.
for others, make sure they have a warm place to stay in and water to drink. you would not want to lose your pet to the cold!

YOUR CAR OR TRUCK:
BEST ADVISE, MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR FLUIDS OIL, BRAKES, TIRES
KEEP A SPARE BLANKET SHOVEL WATER SNACKS IN CASE YOU ARE STRANDED.
AND OF COURSE A GOOD CELL PHONE I USE THE TRAC-FONE BECAUSE I ONLY NEED IT FOR EMERC'S. FLASH LIGHT, FLARES,RADIO,AND SOMETHING TO USE TO FLAG DOWN A PASSING CAR ECT.

I LIKE TO KEEP ON THE LIGHTER SIDE OF LIFE IF I CAN BUT WITH THIS BAD WINTER WEATHER I WANTED YOU ALL SAFE AND SOUND

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE AND WARM
YOUR FRIEND
BIG DEAN AND FRIENDS


.......MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ALL THE GUYSGARFIELD,TOMMY LULU AND OF COURSE ME
