TODAY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES:

Tuesday, Dec. 17, 1861 BELLIGERENT BRITS BADLY BOTHERED The first newspapers from London printed after the “Trent Affair” had exploded there, reached the former colonies in America today, and reactions were strong and immediate. Capt. Charles Wilkes, U.S. Navy, had stopped the British mail ship “Trent” on the high seas by force of arms, and had removed the Confederate commissioners Mason and Slidell, who now languished in a prison in Boston Harbor. To which the London Times commented: “By Capt. Wilkes let the Yankee breed be judged. Swagger and ferocity, built on a foundation of vulgarity and cowardice, these are the characteristics, and these are the most prominent marks by which his countrymen, generally speaking, are known all over the world.” In more diplomatic circles, Lord Russell was debating whether to demand an apology or just declare war. Wednesday, Dec. 17, 1862 GRANT GIVES GENERALLY GRIM GREETING It was called “Official Order No. 11” when it was issued by U.S. Grant from his headquarters office in Holly Spring, Mississippi. Everywhere else it was just called the “Jew Order”. Grant was infuriated by the hordes of sutlers, speculators, illicit cotton traders, smugglers and others who plagued his department along the Mississippi River. This order did not phrase matters quite that way however. “The Jews, as a class violating every regulation of trade established by the Treasury Department and also department orders, are hereby expelled from the department within 24 hours.” While Grant in fact meant the illegal traders regardless of their religious preferences, the horrid phrasing of this order would haunt him for years, including all the way through his Presidency. This was also one of the incidents which renewed the rumors that Grant was far too fond of drink. Thursday, Dec. 17, 1863 TENNESSEE TIPPLERS TREATED TERRIBLY War is a cruel and evil thing, all scholars and most assuredly all participants agree. While it has elements of excitement and pageantry, such as inspired Robert E. Lee to once observe “It is good that war is so terrible, lest we grow too fond of it,” most efforts over the centuries have been to impose rules and restraints on the worst of the cruelties and unnecessary destruction. Still, acts of gratuitous wickedness were not unknown, and one such occurred today. Lt. Commander Fitch, in charge of the USS “Moose”, sent landing parties ashore from his gunboat on Seven Mile Island and Palmyra, on the Tennessee River. There, acting on information from local informants, they sought out and destroyed a facility producing materiel which gave notable aid and comfort to Confederate guerilla and partisan bands operating in the area. Such is war, but it was nonetheless cruel that, nine days before Christmas, this treatment was given to their distilleries. Saturday, Dec. 17, 1864 HOOD’S HEROES HOLD HARPETH The shattered Army of Tennessee was still reeling in retreat from the devastating Battle of Nashville two days ago. Pursuing them was the Federal cavalry of James H. Wilson, along with some detachments of infantry. The flight was essentially along the Franklin Pike in the direction of Columbia, Tenn. Skirmishes broke out repeatedly , with one at Franklin, then another at Hollow Tree Gap, then at the West Harpeth River. Every time the Federals got close enough to be a serious threat, a rear-guard stood to fend them off to allow the rest to escape. Hood had lost most of his supply wagons as well as nearly all his artillery at Nashville, so mounting an offensive effort was impossible. |

"Stay away from Lexmark Printers":
Word to the wise, stay
away from Lexmark printers. Our local Walmart stopped carrying the ink
cartridge for ours, which is only about a year old. Found them on the
internet and ordered them. They are re-manufactured ones. The first 2
printed fine. When I put in the last one, it didn't show a new cartridge but printed fine. Now it shows NO BLACK INK, and won't print because there is no way to tell the machine that there is ink in the cartridge. I have to order the expensive Lexmark cartridges from them because that is the only place that has them. Tech support says it is made that way and I never should have a cheap cartridge. The Lexmark ones have a chip in them that will only work once and can't be refilled. However, he could not explain why it will print the "Clean Print Head" page with black ink on it, with the "cheap cartridge" but says it has no ink. It is a software thing, he says and nothing can be done to fix it. I think it is time for another printer already. This one is going to the dump!
YIKES!
Thanks for sharing your story with us, Ruthie!

The
old man sat in his gas station on a cold Christmas Eve. He hadn't been
anywhere in years since his wife had passed away. It was just another
day to him. He didn't hate Christmas, just couldn't find a reason to
celebrate. He was sitting there looking at the snow that had been
falling for the last hour and wondering what it was all about when the
door opened and a homeless man stepped through. Instead of throwing the man out, Old George as he was known by his customers, told the man to come and sit by the heater and warm up. "Thank you, but I don't mean to intrude," said the stranger. "I see you're busy, I'll just go." "Not without something hot in your belly." George said. He turned and opened a wide mouth Thermos and handed it to the stranger. "It ain't much, but it's hot and tasty. Stew ... Made it myself. When you're done, there's coffee and it's fresh." Just at that moment he heard the "ding" of the driveway bell. "Excuse me, be right back," George said. There in the driveway was an old '53 Chevy. Steam was rolling out of the front.. The driver was panicked. "Mister can you help me!" said the driver, with a deep Spanish accent. "My wife is with child and my car is broken." George opened the hood. It was bad. The block looked cracked from the cold, the car was dead. "You ain't going in this thing," George said as he turned away. "But Mister, please help ..." The door of the office closed behind George as he went inside. He went to the office wall and got the keys to his old truck, and went back outside. He walked around the building, opened the garage, started the truck and drove it around to where the couple was waiting. "Here, take my truck," he said. "She ain't the best thing you ever looked at, but she runs real good." George helped put the woman in the truck and watched as it sped off into the night. He turned and walked back inside the office. "Glad I gave 'em the truck, their tires were shot too. That 'ol truck has brand new ones." George thought he was talking to the stranger, but the man had gone. The Thermos was on the desk, empty, with a used coffee cup beside it. "Well, at least he got something in his belly," George thought. George went back outside to see if the old Chevy would start. It cranked slowly, but it started. He pulled it into the garage where the truck had been. He thought he would tinker with it for something to do. Christmas Eve meant no customers. He discovered the block hadn't cracked, it was just the bottom hose on the radiator. "Well, shoot, I can fix this," he said to himself. So he put a new one on. "Those tires ain't gonna get 'em through the winter either." He took the snow treads off of his wife's old Lincoln. They were like new and he wasn't going to drive the car anyway. As he was working, he heard shots being fired. He ran outside and beside a police car an officer lay on the cold ground. Bleeding from the left shoulder, the officer moaned, "Please help me." George helped the officer inside as he remembered the training he had received in the Army as a medic. He knew the wound needed attention. "Pressure to stop the bleeding," he thought. The uniform company had been there that morning and had left clean shop towels. He used those and duct tape to bind the wound. "Hey, they say duct tape can fix anythin'," he said, trying to make the policeman feel at ease. "Something for pain," George thought. All he had was the pills he used for his back. "These ought to work." He put some water in a cup and gave the policeman the pills. "You hang in there, I'm going to get you an ambulance." The phone was dead. "Maybe I can get one of your buddies on that there talk box out in your car." He went out only to find that a bullet had gone into the dashboard destroying the two way radio. He went back in to find the policeman sitting up. "Thanks," said the officer. "You could have left me there. The guy that shot me is still in the area." George sat down beside him, "I would never leave an injured man in the Army and I ain't gonna leave you." George pulled back the bandage to check for bleeding. "Looks worse than what it is. Bullet passed right through 'ya. Good thing it missed the important stuff though. I think with time your gonna be right as rain." George got up and poured a cup of coffee. "How do you take it?" he asked. "None for me," said the officer.. "Oh, yer gonna drink this. Best in the city. Too bad I ain't got no donuts." The officer laughed and winced at the same time. The front door of the office flew open. In burst a young man with a gun. "Give me all your cash! Do it now!" the young man yelled. His hand was shaking and George could tell that he had never done anything like this before. "That's the guy that shot me!" exclaimed the officer. "Son, why are you doing this?" asked George, "You need to put the cannon away. Somebody else might get hurt." The young man was confused. "Shut up old man, or I'll shoot you, too. Now give me the cash!" The cop was reaching for his gun. "Put that thing away," George said to the cop, "we got one too many in here now." He turned his attention to the young man. "Son, it's Christmas Eve. If you need money, well then, here. It ain't much but it's all I got. Now put that pea shooter away." George pulled $150 out of his pocket and handed it to the young man, reaching for the barrel of the gun at the same time. The young man released his grip on the gun, fell to his knees and began to cry. "I'm not very good at this am I? All I wanted was to buy something for my wife and son," he went on. "I've lost my job, my rent is due, my car got repossessed last week." George handed the gun to the cop. "Son, we all get in a bit of squeeze now and then. The road gets hard sometimes, but we make it through the best we can." He got the young man to his feet, and sat him down on a chair across from the cop. "Sometimes we do stupid things." George handed the young man a cup of coffee. "Bein' stupid is one of the things that makes us human. Comin' in here with a gun ain't the answer. Now sit there and get warm and we'll sort this thing out." The young man had stopped crying. He looked over to the cop. "Sorry I shot you. It just went off. I'm sorry, officer." "Shut up and drink your coffee," the cop said. George could hear the sounds of sirens outside. A police car and an ambulance skidded to a halt. Two cops came through the door, guns drawn. "Chuck! You ok?" one of the cops asked the wounded officer. "Not bad for a guy who took a bullet. How did you find me?" "GPS locator in the car. Best thing since sliced bread. Who did this?" the other cop asked as he approached the young man. Chuck answered him, "I don't know. The guy ran off into the dark. Just dropped his gun and ran." George and the young man both looked puzzled at each other. "That guy work here?" the wounded cop continued. "Yep," George said, "just hired him this morning. Boy lost his job." The paramedics came in and loaded Chuck onto the stretcher. The young man leaned over the wounded cop and whispered, "Why?" Chuck just said, "Merry Christmas boy ... and you too, George, and thanks for everything." "Well, looks like you got one doozy of a break there. That ought to solve some of your problems." George went into the back room and came out with a box. He pulled out a ring box. "Here you go, something for the little woman. I don't think Martha would mind. She said it would come in handy some day." The young man looked inside to see the biggest diamond ring he ever saw. "I can't take this," said the young man. "It means something to you." "And now it means something to you," replied George. "I got my memories. That's all I need." George reached into the box again. An airplane, a car and a truck appeared next. They were toys that the oil company had left for him to sell. "Here's something for that little man of yours." The young man began to cry again as he handed back the $150 that the old man had handed him earlier. "And what are you supposed to buy Christmas dinner with? You keep that too," George said. "Now git home to your family." The young man turned with tears streaming down his face. "I'll be here in the morning for work, if that job offer is still good." "Nope. I'm closed Christmas day," George said. "See ya the day after." George turned around to find that the stranger had returned. "Where'd you come from? I thought you left?" "I have been here. I have always been here," said the stranger. "You say you don't celebrate Christmas. Why?" "Well, after my wife passed away, I just couldn't see what all the bother was. Puttin' up a tree and all seemed a waste of a good pine tree. Bakin' cookies like I used to with Martha just wasn't the same by myself and besides I was gettin' a little chubby." The stranger put his hand on George's shoulder. "But you do celebrate the holiday, George. You gave me food and drink and warmed me when I was cold and hungry. The woman with child will bear a son and he will become a great doctor. The policeman you helped will go on to save 19 people from being killed by terrorists. The young man who tried to rob you will make you a rich man and not take any for himself. "That is the
spirit of the season and you keep it as good as any man." |

http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/family/inspirational-christmas-stories2.htm:
"The Wishing Star" Davey looked out the window at the falling snow. Usually he loved snow, but today he was sad. It was Christmas Eve, and the snow was so deep that it might ruin Christmas for Davey. Because of the snowstorm, Davey was afraid that his older brother Josh would never make it home for Christmas. “And I have such a
special present for him!” Davey said to himself. “If only he could
get here!" With his best crayons, Davey had drawn a picture of the
barn on their farm. He was going to give it to Josh for Christmas to
hang in his room at college. Davey turned away from the window with
a sigh. Soon, Davey and
Dad and Mom were on their way to town. Because of the snow, they had
to drive slowly. “I brought my picture for Josh with me,” Davey said
as they rode along. “Maybe I can find a frame to fit it when we get
to the store.” “Good idea,” said Mom. “I’ll help you look.” Later, at the
store, Mom took Davey to the counter where picture frames were sold.
Davey looked at all the frames. Finally he said, “I like this wooden
one. It reminds me of the wooden barn in my picture.” “Well, we’re kind
of in a hurry. We need to be back home before the snow gets too
deep,” said Dad. “But since this is Santa, I guess we can spare the
time.” On the way home in
the car, Davey saw that the snow was coming down harder and harder.
When he and Mom and Dad were almost to the house, Davey talked about
Santa’s Wishing Star. “We all make wishes every now and then,” said
Mom, “but sometimes they just can’t come true.” Davey went over to
the window and looked out. The snow had stopped falling. And there,
right overhead, was a star Davey had never seen before. It was big
and bright and sparkling. It was the biggest and brightest star in
the sky, just as Santa had said. Too soon, Davey
heard Mom’s voice. “Time for bed, little one. If you go right to
sleep, it will be Christmas morning before you know it.” Davey hung
his stocking by the fireplace. He kissed Mom and Dad and started up
the stairs to his room. Later that night, when Davey was finally in bed, he looked out his window. Sure enough, the Wishing Star was still high in the sky. “Thank you, Wishing Star,” he whispered. “I knew you could do it. You’ve made this my best Christmas ever!” |

12/16/11 - "When you Give You will receive!":
Dear Flylady, I woke up this morning with a hole in the pit of my stomach and in my heart and everything seemed so negative. I wish I could say this was unusual but after a difficult childhood where I was only shown conditional love, it does happen pretty often. I have had some success in the past few months with changing my mood by concentrating on positive things and building myself up so decided to do this, as I did not want to stay in that horrible frame of mind! Now, this does require some work but it is very helpful. I started by thinking about the things in my life I was grateful for and it did improve my mood a little but it was not enough. I asked myself what did I need to fill this hole in myself and the answer came back to me: 'Love'. I thought, well that's all very well, but I don't receive a huge amount of love in my life.. I am sure my husband loves me but he is not very good at showing it, so how was I supposed to fill myself with love? The answer came back to me: 'by giving love'. I kind of argued with this because how can you give something you don't feel or have? How can you give this away when your own cup is empty? I did not receive an answer to this question so decided to give it a go! First of all I prayed for all the different people in my life and for the things I knew they needed such as: a new job, health, wisdom, peace and so on - I should say at this point that I don't folloow any particular form of religion but find prayer to have a positive outcome. I then texted some friends and other people I know and wished them a good morning. This included wishing all the best to a friend's brother-in-law who is having an operation for cancer. You have to know that this is very unusual for me as I am not very sociable and do not usually initiate social contact. And what do you know? I started feeling myself filling up with love and contentment! This was made even better when I started receiving replies to my texts... I was rather bemused by the whole thing and then suddenly realized the words of Eric Dodge's 'A Christmas Wish' were running through my head: 'Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me...!' I realized that this is what had happened - I wanted and needed love and instead of waiting to get - I gave it instead and as a result received it back threefold. What a wonderful thing! I feel like I've been hit over the head with a God-breeze and such a great one that I would like to pass it on... Best wishes and peace to all of you for this holiday season!! FlyBaby B ****************************** FlyLady here; You are so right! It is up to us to get the ball rolling. If we want love we have to give it. It all starts with a phone call, text or simple little note dropped in the mail. You will receive what you give. I am listening to Eric's Christmas Wish right now. It warms my heart. You can go listen to it too on our website. http://shop.flylady.net/pages/FlyShop_eric_xmas.asp |

12/16/11 - "Food For Thought: Clutter Free Food Gifts":
Dear Friends, There is never a time where food isn't appreciated. And in today's tough economy, there couldn't be a better gift for the holidays, nor could there be one that's just a little easier on the wallet! Add to that the convenience of holiday shopping at your grocery store and leaving the mall to the teenagers. Can I hear an amen? So you know what that means: yes, I'm going to give y'all another list. This one is my top 5 holiday gifts to give. I've done presents like these for years gifting many an appreciative soul and now I'm going to share the secret to making edible gifts! 1) Flavored Vinegars. Very easy to make, two methods; you can see me make them here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVk3VcA2j94 2) Candy Cane Hot Cocoa. Easy and festive to make. Mix together 2 cups each powdered sugar and powdered milk, plus 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa. Add 1 cup of mini chocolate chips for extra chocolatey decadence. Now place 4 ounces into a ziplock, then place the portioned bags into dollar store mugs. Wrap with cellophane and place a candy cane into each ribbon atop of the mug. Give as an individual gift (with the recipe attached and instructions to use the candy cane to stir with) or a whole set in a basket for someone special. To make cocoa, fill mug half full with mix and top with boiling water, stir with enclosed candy cane, enjoy! Makes about 4-6 servings. 3) Salsa is a great gift! To make chop tomatoes, red onions, fresh cilantro, jalapenos if you dare and add a touch of cumin and a little salt. You could add garlic if you like. Play with this recipe and make it your own. Put a tag on there that reads, "When you're hot, you're hot!" for fun. You can give this fresh (keep refrigerated) or cook it and can it (see instructions on your canner for specifics). 4) Popcorn and a Movie. Easy, fun gift! Give a classic movie (It's a Wonderful Life comes to mind), placed in a huge plastic bowl from the dollar store, with a big bag of gourmet popcorn, tied up with cellophane and a raffia bow. One year, I used a paint pen to decorate the bowl with drawn on popcorn (not hard to draw!) and the personalized it, ie; Smith Family Movie Night. How easy is that? 5) Freezer Meals! Nothing says lovin' like something from the oven. What if you gave the gift of a week's worth of dinner, all frozen, ready to thaw and cook up fresh in their ovens? Check out SavingDinner's freezer menus and give the gift of dinner! If you did the Now and Later menu, you could make dinner all this week, make up and freeze those same meals one at a time and give them all as a gift! Food is indeed a great gift, clutter-free and something everyone needs! This year, shop from your grocery store and make food gifts that will bring a smile to everyone's face!

12/16/11 - "Pampering #15":
Hello FlyLady & Crew, I have pampered myself this month by purchasing some of your wonderful tools from the FlyShop -- most particularly the Office in a Bag. I have hot spots of paper seemingly everywhere I turn in my home. I've gotten much better about tossing my papers but the piles are still accumulating (Is there a magnet that attracts paper to non-metal surfaces?? LOL) I'm very excited to begin using my OIB! I've realized -- just this month after a year of fluttering here and there -- that the best gift I can give myself is a clean and tidy home. I find myself migrating to the room(s) that are cleanest that day when I come home. It's made me realize that I love having a clean home and a few minutes a day can help keep me happy -- in a strange pampering kind of way! lol! Fluttering Carrie in CT Kelly here: Our habit this month is pampering. You deserve to do something nice for yourself! I am so proud of you. |

Written and recorded by Enya (b. 17 May 1961), 2008
Have you seen the
mistletoe, it fills the night with kisses
Have you seen the bright blue star, it fills your heart with wishes
Have you seen the candlelight, it shines from every window
Have you seen the moon above, it lights the sky in silver
Green is in the mistletoe and red is in the holly
Silver in the stars above that shine on everybody
Gold is in the candlelight and crimson in the embers
White is in the winter night that everyone remembers
Have you heard the boys outside, when all the girls are skating
Have you heard their sweet hearts cry for all this time they're waiting
Green is in the mistletoe and red is in the holly
Silver in the stars above that shine on everybody
Gold is in the candlelight and crimson in the embers
White is in the winter night that everyone remembers
Have you seen the children playing, tiny hands are frozen
Have you seen them hurry home, when suddenly it's snowing
Green is in the mistletoe and red is in the holly
Silver in the stars above that shine on everybody
Gold is in the candlelight and crimson in the embers
White is in the winter night that everyone remembers
Have you heard that bells are ringing, ringing out their story
Have you heard the choir singing, Glory, Glory Glory
