Friday, December 25th. Today is Christmas Day — a joyous religious observance for many, but for almost everyone, one of the happiest days of the year. Outside or indoors, whether in balmy or snowbound climates, children are busy trying out their shiny new treasures, ranging from traditional bikes to the latest high tech toys. Inside, others are busy with video games and other electronic marvels. Many will have attended church services to honor the day. And in many of the nearly 116 million households in America, holiday music, decorations and lights will be joined by the inviting aroma of a special dinner to be shared with family and friends. The men and women of the U.S. Census Bureau across the nation wish you and your loved ones a peaceful and happy holiday.
Friday / Weekend Open Lines
Saturday, December 26th. The millions of Americans who for a century and a half have enjoyed well-brewed coffee can direct their gratitude to James H. Nason of Franklin, Massachusetts. He received the nation’s first patent for a coffee percolator on this date in 1865. The percolator still has a market niche, but since the 1970s has been overtaken by automatic drip coffee makers, and increasingly, the elaborate variants of espresso brewers. One-point-five million metric tons of coffee and its extracts and preparations are imported annually. The vast majority of that is unroasted coffee, and its import value is about $440 million a month.

Sunday, December 27th. The reliable TV remote control, a crucial labor saving device for couch potatoes, was unveiled this month in 1957. Robert Adler of the Zenith Corporation received a patent for a mechanical unit that used a striker and four small aluminum chimes to generate ultrasound. The ultrasounds produced controlled on and off, and channel and sound up and down. There had been remotes before, but they were attached to the receiver by an awkward cord. Adler’s remote eventually incorporated electronically generated ultrasound and was in use until the early 1980s. Today’s remote controls use infrared technology to operate the nation’s television sets, sold in nearly 39,000 radio, TV and electronics stores across the country.

Well, I’m glad that’s over!
Publius…..How stupid are you really? “THAT” of which you speak is for believers and you(my lil’ fairy) just don’t believe. Just by checking the posts and traffic on HiH when I am away for days at a time I notice that this site has become what most of the Henderson/Vance area has become……ABANDONED!!! Keep the shills involved and the site will look as if it has more readers/bloggers. One thing I would recommend for the “lil’ fairy” is this…..a little more FACTS and less Lip Service!!! You wouldn’t know a FACT if it came up to you @ Hardee’s and shook your hand!!
ROFLMAO while SMH!!!! Bye sweetie…..admit while I’m gone to the next area that you really had a crush on me and didn’t want HiH to know!! xoxoxo….
Jane Doe
Decept, what happened in your life that made so hateful? Were you gang raped by a wolf pack? Did your mother sell you to a glue factory? Did all your children turn “”fairy” fearing that they might extend your bloodline?
Decept, hey slut, let’s meet and discuss your use of the term “lil’ fairy.” I take umbrage at that remark. It ain’t polite, bitch. I’d suggest behind Sunshine Biscuits in Oxford. Seven AM, Wednesday next week. Ready to rock?
Lil’ fairy PLEASE lay off the Boone’s Farm b/c it is not helping. I told HiH bloggers that you had a crush on Deception!!! Sorry honey-boo but in case you can’t remember due to the Boone’s Farm have someone read you Post #2. I gave you 1 chance but I guess that Henderson/Vance mentality is that if you Jeep asking then somebody will feel sorry for you? Here’s a new slogan for your local area:”If you are looking for a handout….head up to H-Town”!!! ROFLMAO while SMH!!!
xoxoxo,
JD
KEEP……not jeep!!!! As I said before….that VCS education sometimes just shows. OOPS!!
Here’s a question for Deception to investigate with her contacts in Vance County. Does a county commissioner (Vance) get on-going health insurance, even after they leave office, after 15 years of service, i.e. part time work?
Of course Mingo they do……other than serving their egos what other incentive(other than looking out for their buddies….remember the Certificate of Occupancy) what other reason do they have to serve?
CHEAP WINE>publius……………my advice to you lil’ fairy would be to leave the booze alone. It brings out the worst in you….although some would argue that’s the only thing in you!! SMH!!!!! Wonder how many HiH bloggers will take to the roads tonight drinking and driving? A conversative guess would be about 30-35%……let’s hope nobody gets hurt/killed b/c of your lack of responsibility to get a Designated Driver…..
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Look at it like this……your area can only go up……can’t get much lower unless you add a couple more dilapidated houses and/or more Section 8 Projects!!! I’m sure that’s on someone’s agenda this upcoming year. Good Luck!! You will need it!!
Ya talking to me Decept?
January 1 has come and gone and we find that deception has lied to us again. I believe the line was something like “I’ll reveal my name on January the first”. You are a hateful, deceitful person deception. Your grand-daughter didn’t get selected for the preferred school so you are now taking your anger out on everyone else. Go away deception, come back when you are over yourself and can play nice. To all others HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Augi….sorry honey but she is enrolled in a Top 10 Private school. One where her parents actually sacrifice $$ for her education…unlike the handout charter school that hand picks it’s students (85%+) minority @ that. I would rather not learn @ such an early age that the govt. will take care of you. I’d rather she learn that you must earn things….not govt. assisted!!!! 10 years from now she may hire some of your HC students!! Who knows?
Tell your child -Thankyou for paying their taxes to support public education.
No lil’ fairy….she doesn’t pay taxes yet but her parents PAY her tuition unlike the govt. handouts that support HC & the others. Yet not your lil’ fairy heart be worried…..the govt. will cont. to take care of y’all….even you lil’ fairy!!! SMH @ just how stupid some HiH posters are……I mean you are walking/typing proof that Vance County not only is full of trash but also full of less than educated citizens!! Congratulations lil’ fairy…you fit into that mold!!
Let’s see, how does that work, oh brainless one…you have a grandchild and the poor, pathetic thing goes to a private school (or a “special school”). That means your child pays private school tuition for it AND taxes to pay for public education. See how it works, Decept?
Tell your brat -Thankyou.
And where do you get off calling me a fag, bitch?
Overly sensitive are you lil’fairy? Show me where I called you a person who likes the same sex…..Last time I checked HiH didn’t require anyone to reveal their gender!!! Seems as if I’ve touched a nerve & deep down in places you don’t like to talk about stirred some anger? Guess what? Who cares? Stupid must be in the water in Henderson…P.S. if you weren’t too cowardly to meet me the 1st time you PROMISED we wouldn’t even be having this dialogue. SMH @ ignorance!!! & yes Virginia I did call you ignorant!
Deception: an act or statement intended to make people believe something that is not true. Fits you to a T false poster. You were pretty upset when your granddaughter wasn’t chosen for the Charter School. Now it’s a dump? ALSO, you have chosen to respond to only half of my comment. No revelation of your name (AS PROMISED) is another deceitful act. Choosing deception as your pseudonym is probably the only time you have been truthful and honest with us.
