There Will Be Sunshine Again

Patti's Memorial Fund

Another favorite song of Patti's (and another one of our songs)

From one of our favorite flicks.

If any time calls for the blues now certainly does.

Yes I know this my friends...there'll be sunshine again.

Leslie Godwin said...: Dear Friends of Ben and Readers of One Cosmos at Sea,
Julie Cork and I are working on a fund to honor Patti and help Ben pay some bills.

Later today, I'll be posting the website/link to Youcaring.com where you can use a credit card or paypal to make a donation.

You can also send a check to Ben directly. Email me at: lesliegodwin at dslextreme.com for Ben's mailing address.

As Julie noted on One Cosmos, this was our idea, not Ben's. We knew there would be others who would like to help Ben and his daughters in a way that would be more practical than flowers. Any amount, no matter how small, would be very welcome.

I'll be posting the youcaring.com link to Ben's page later today. Please let me or Julie know if you want to put a link on your website.

Thanks!

USS Ben USN (Ret) said...: Thank you Leslie and Julie for setting this up.
God bless you all for your prayers as well.

Um...now I don't hafta do the bills! Hurray!

What? I still hafta figure the bills? I don't know how Patti did it. Doing bills online is much harder than writing checks, especially with those 89 digit passwords!; June 6, 2014 at 8:09 PM
Leslie Godwin said...: Here is the link Julie mentioned. You can use a credit card or paypal to make a donation to the fund to honor Patti Conrad, Ben's late wife.

You can contribute anonymously, so your name won't appear on the website. But Ben will see the emails when you contribute, just so you know.

Please email me if any problems or questions re. the site so I can fix any issues.

No, the Raccoon way of the masked pandit is "trans-academic," "trans-scholarly," and "trans-ambitious," meaning that it admittedly comes up short in these overrated qualities. However, our loose canon tries to compensate with other virtues, such as freshness, spontaneity, metaphysical comedy, jehovial witticisms, cheery optimysticism, freevangelical pundamentalism, comparative nonsense, coonical pslackology, fine insultainment, off-road spiritual adventures, speaking in Tongan (or ad homina homina homina) and all the rest of our Oly Slackraments.

Understanding the Truth of Liberty

"Friends, raccoon's, countremen, lend me your ears:I've said it before, I'll say it again, if you want to know and/or defend your constitution, your nation, your liberty, follow these links and pass them on! The Founders Constitution, hosted by the by The University of Chicago and the Liberty Fund (which includes the Online Library of Liberty, one of the greatest free libraries, online or otherwise), and if you want to see the constitution for the first time or in a new light, I'm telling ya'll, read it here.

For instance, if you scroll down that contents page a bit, to the Preamble, there are 21 links there, from snippets to full documents, that give the background information and perspective that the Founding Fathers had in their minds regarding the Preamble when they debated, wrote, ratified (usually including the relevant Federalist and anti-Federalist papers, as here, Madison, Brutus & Patrick Henry) and later applied by early presidents and re-examined and explained how it was being implemented and interpreted by those who still understood it (Justice Joseph Story's commentaries on teh constitution are outstanding).

Indexes contains several ways of slicing and dicing the site, such as Index of Authors and Documents, which links or lists key documents by key figures of the times, Index of Cases, which links to passages of key court cases that either established precedents, or from historic judgments which influenced how the first cases were judgedIndex of Constitutional Provisions Article 1, Section 8, Clause 6 which seems to be on Bob F.'s mind, dealing with Counterfeiting coins and securities.Aliens & Citizenship... it is and incredibly valuable resource.Those of you with your own blogs, or email lists, please, especially with the situation we are in today, publish this one, promote it.

If We The People, don't understand what we have, and why... there will be no improvement, as a people, or a nation and I'll garauntee you, reading the linked information will help you to 'Know thyself', because as the Founders knew, to govern at all, you had to first be capable of governing yourself.

And, for you cosmonaughts out there, check out Gagdad Bob's outstanding post with his unique metaphysical focus on Truth, Liberty, Christianity and America at:
http://onecosmos.blogspot.com/2009/07/saving-world-one-assoul-at-time.html
"America's founders knew that man only derived his value by virtue of his relationship to the Absolute. This is a fine example of how metaphysics -- the eternal science -- is enfolded in religion. For to see -- and it is a seeing, not a mere "knowing" -- that men are endowed by their Creator with life and liberty is to affirm that life and liberty have an absolute and infinite value. They are "unalienable." Anything short of this makes our rights quite alienable indeed, meaning, among other things, that we can surrender them to liberals for cash and other valuable prizes."

Rich n' tasty food for all you hungry assouls!
