ADVICE IS LEAST HEEDED WHEN MOST NEEDED - English Proverb
WHEN GIVING ADVICE, SEEK TO HELP, NOT TO PLEASE, YOUR FRIEND - Solon
The man shown on the front cover of Forbes is Sheldon Adelson, one of the richest men on the planet. His net worth is about $25 Billion.
I DID NOT WRITE THIS BLOG FOR HIM!
I did write it for you. I wanted to remind you of a Forbes article that motivated me to write several blogs about your welfare last year. In January 2011 Forbes wrote:
The world is treading on dangerous ground.
Market forces are in place for another
global food crisis, and, as the wheels keep
turning, it will be harder for them to be
put in reverse!
The article pointed out that corn was up 94% and wheat was up 80% since the previous June.
My lovely wife, Julie, and I enjoyed one of our favorite dinners last night, Lake Erie perch and cole slaw. Simple, easy to fix and, Oh! so good. The perch was a gift of my friend Don Wilson. The cole slaw mix came from Save-A-Lot, a nearby discount grocery store. Two weeks ago I bought that cole slaw mix for the usual price of $1.19. Last night it cost me $1.49. So, what's the big deal, it was just thirty cents, wasn't it? NO! IT WAS OVER A 25% INCREASE IN COSTS IN A MONTH OR LESS TIME. Most of our food comes from our own stores, but one must buy the fresh veggies. I'll be heading for the farmer's market come Thursday.
A GOOD SCARE IS WORTH MORE TO A MAN THAN GOOD ADVICE
Edgar Watson Howe

ADVICE IS LEAST HEEDED WHEN MOST NEEDED
English Proverb
In general, due to soaring gasoline and grain prices, global food costs are at their highest price in 20 years. THEY WILL GO HIGHER, STILL! We are told to expect in excess of $5.00 a gallon gasoline this summer, what with all the Middle East unrest. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
WHAT IF THE ECONOMY TOTALLY TANKS
Have you thought about it, in a positive manner?
IF IT CAN HAPPEN, IT WILL, AT THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME!

Kin Hubbard asked, "Who really recalls when folks
got along without something?"
Before you need to do so, you might give some thought to what you can get along without. What do you really need to be warm, dry, well fed and secure? Up front, in my life, comes all the excessively expensive things I do, like entertaining friends and family at the beach for a month, or making a cross-country camping trip. Or, having friends and/or family as guests at a Bed and Breakfast. Just the change in that attitude alone would almost feed Julie and I for a year.

A COUNTRY BOY CAN SURVIVE, AND, AS JOHN DENVER SANG,
I'M JUST A COUNTRY BOY!
NOW IS THE TIME TO THINK THOSE THOUGHTS,
NOT WHEN YOU ARE IN DEEP DOO-DOO, NOT KNOWING WHICH WAY TO TURN.
Publilus Syrus was a Roman slave
in the first century B.C.
He was so wise that he was freed
These words of wisdom of 2,000 years ago
are still worth consideration.
MANY GIVE ADVICE, ONLY THE WISE PROFIT FROM IT
A wise man, descendent of slaves, Bill Cosby,
uttered this pearl of wisdom
A WORD TO THE WISE AIN'T NECESARY,
ITS THE STUPID ONES THAT NEED IT
ADVICE IS SELDOM WELCOME, AND THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST
LIKE IT LEAST - Lord Chesterfield
God Bless You and Yours
