JON BARRIE

The Independent Candidate for U.S. Senate 7316 Williamsburg Road NW Albuquerque NM 87114 www.jonbarrieforsenate.com jon@jonbarrieforsenate.com 505-999-2118 My heartfelt thanks all of you who voted and supported my campaign efforts. We garnered almost 28,000 votes and sent a clear message to the establishment that there is a growing and organized constituency in New Mexico that yearns for Constitutional principles and common sense politics. You will remember that although we turned in an astonishing 10,000 signatures to the Secretary of State, a remarkable feat for our Barrie Brigade, she ruled that we were short 277 valid names. When we took that ruling to the New Mexico Supreme Court, justice was served and we were able to present an alternative to the establishment candidates. Our campaign is still being talked about across the nation. You should be proud of the inspirational job you did. Shame on the other candidates and their insider Washington friends. They spent over $18 million to buy this election. That works out to be about $24.94 for every voter who cast a ballot. We ran a $29,300 campaign—a new definition of bare bones budget! Now my job is to pay off the creditors: frankly, we are in need of $14,310. The law states that as the candidate, I am personally responsible for these obligations. That’s why I’m asking for your help in retiring this debt. Please help by donating anything you can: $25 or $250; $15 or $150 will help me get out of the red … and back on the front lines of fighting for our lost liberties. www.jonbarrieforsenate.com I don’t know what God has in store for me in the future, but I do know that once my mind is off of paying debts I’ll be free to make some decisions. God Bless you all and let us continue the battle to regain to restore the Constitution. Paid for and authorized by Jon Barrie for U.S. Senate; Robert Bowen, Treasurer

Wii & Movie Trade for Christmas--wish list

Wanted to see if anyone wanted to do a wii game exchange for Christmas. Does anyone have Mario Kart Wii they are not using anymore, or using very much. We have a soccer game, Fifa 2012 that we bought last year, that isn't getting used much. Or a movie trade. Brooke wants the movie, "Ella Enchanted," so I thought I'd see if anyone has it, and doesn't watch it anymore, or would want to do a trade/sale? How about a skateboard in your garage that you are not using anymore you would like to sell? How about a router for a laptop? How about the Magnetix building game for kids? Let me know if you have any of these things you would want to do a trade or sell? Thanks, Andrea rogersareblessed(at)gmail.com

get those holiday cards done!

Sam's Club is offering a sweet little deal on holiday cards.  If you order on Black Friday, you can get 100 4x8 or 6x8 cards with envelopes for $15.  Last year I was able to do it all on the internet and then pick them up at the store after a few days.  The ONLY way I get my cards out every year is by having most of the work done before Thanksgiving because we all know that December is really crazy.  Happy Holidays!

Hey sisters, I'm having a garage sale this weekend. It's Fall/winter clean out time!

Where: Rogers Home: (look on ward list) We have lots of small dog cage, and an x-large dog cage, Christmas decorations, (our little grandparent neighbors gave to the kids so they could sell and make a little money)..that's why I decided to have the garage sale) We also have kids clothes, baby clothes, baby toys, baby big toys scooters, nice bikes that need to be fixed up a little (tires) that we got at a bike auction and never did anything with them (probably like $75....but we are just going to do $10), air hockey table, toys, games, kids books, and other misc. stuff.

Book Club

Dear Readers,

I will be hosting book club at my house this coming week.  We would LOVE to have you join us, even if you haven't read the book for this month.  We can get you started on the next one.  Here are the details:

Thursday, November 15th
7:30pm
Michelle C's house (Ventana Ward directory)

Discussing:  The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
If you haven't read it, you should at least google it and check out the subject material.  It is fascinating.  It should provide for a very interesting discussion.

Please bring something tasty to share, if you feel so inclined.

Thanks!
Michelle

Daytime Book Club

The Daytime bookclub will be reading The Persian Pickle Club for November. It is a quick read and really good!!! See summary below. We will meet at Pei Wei on Coors at 11:00 on Thursday, November 29th to discuss. Stef B and I have a copy to lend out. If you have a book suggestion for January's reading please bring it so we can look it over and vote! Happy Reading!!!

It is the 1930s, and hard times have hit Harveyville, Kansas, where the crops are burning up, and there's not a job to be found. For Queenie Bean, a young farm wife, a highlight of each week is the gathering of the Persian Pickle Club, a group of local ladies dedicated to improving their minds, exchanging gossip, and putting their quilting skills to good use. When a new member of the club stirs up a dark secret, the women must band together to support and protect one another. In her magical, memorable novel, Sandra Dallas explores the ties that unite women through good times and bad.

more good deals on spices

Have you been to John Brooks' grocery store for their spices?  I recently discovered this good deal.  It's in the back behind their produce section and they have a ton of spices in the extra large containers (like a pound or so) for $3-4 each.  They're good quality and you don't have to pay shipping.

San Francisco Herb Company

Just wanted to let you all know of a great place to buy inexpensive spices, nuts, herbs, and other wonderful things in bulk.

Visit https://www.sfherb.com

For example I just bought 1 pound of poppy seeds. At the store a tiny jar cost almost $4. I bought a pound for $2.95.  Sweet, right?

I also like to get their mulling spices for dirt cheap. I put a small amount in a pot with orange slices and let it simmer for a bit during Christmas. My whole house smells so delicious! Plus, the mulling spices make great gifts for VT and neighbors during the holidays.

The shipping isn't bad, but you might as well go in on an order with someone else and save even more!

Happy baking this holiday season!

Can I borrow?

Hey guys,
Does anyone have a "hobby" woodburning pen I can borrow for a couple days? I want to make a birthday present for my mom and need to write in some wood. Just let me know if you do. 
Thank you! :)

YW help

Hey Sisters,

I was wondering if anyone has any sheet protectors lying around the house that they would like to donate, to Gabby Ritchie, for a YW project?  If you do, please let Gabby or me (Jessica Pickett) know and we can make arrangements to get them picked up.

Thank you!!!! :)

Pampered Chef?

Is anyone here work for Pampered Chef (or know someone who sells it?)  I've got a friend who'd like to piggyback on an order for a party.  Let me know if you have any info.

Anyone need these bottles?

Does anyone need some small storage bottles? We got them when our daughter was in the NICU, but we have tons of unopened (still sterile) bottles that we need to get rid of. They are for storing breast milk, but they would be great for any other things that you'd like to store in small portions. I think each bottle holds about 2-3 ounces. Please call Lisa Justice if you want them!

Voting help

Andrea R would like to offer to babysit anyones kids tomorrow while you vote! Her number is in the ward directory. Her computer is down so don't email her. Thanks! GO VOTE!!!

Cleaning out

I am listing a few things on Craigslist and I thought I would post them here as well.

Lost Blanket

Hello,

Today, Brinley lost her favorite blanket at church.  It is solid pink.  It has one side silk and one side plush with little raised dots all over it.  Also, quiet some time ago, Addison lost his favorite baby green plush blanket at church. It has a turtle on the bottom corner of it and a fish (i think).  It was a very long time ago but he still asks about it all the time.  If someone picked it up and just forgot to get it to us, please let me know.  Also, please let me know if you found Brin's pink blanket.  She will be SO happy to find it.  This girl is attached so I am not sure how she lost it. :)  p.s Sorry if it smells like pee.  She had to have it today and she blew out of her diaper last night.  :(
Thank you!
