    Who's fooling who?

    I want you all to forgive me on my grammar. My right eye became sepsis and I don't see that well from it. Plus when younger, being honest I let others rewrite my paper instead of proofing it myself. Next my brain goes faster then my typing and I also have a verb problem. I proof now but still see common mistakes. This is my downfall and I have to get grammar to help me but it is costly and I working to buy it. If you notice I edit and include grammar because that's my problem. Now I have some of the greatest articles and creative writing, but my grammar stinks so I had other to reproof them. That's it and that's my flaw! Please pray and if you see something you do not understand just quote me back and I will try to correct it and that's to everyone. Blessings!

    5 Things You Didn't Know about the Moulin Rouge_2 On October 6, 1889, the Moulin Rouge cabaret opened in Paris, attracting people from all walks of life. Here are 5 things you probably didn’t know about this risque cabaret that remains just as popular today as when it opened... The Name “Moulin Rouge” Means Red Windmill The Moulin Rouge displays a big red windmill with rotating arms at the entrance, and it refers to what was once the little hilltop village of Montmartre, a suburb of Paris. At one time, there were many windmills in the area, and Montmartre was known for its numerous artists and bohemians, cobbled streets, and vineyards. The windmill was added to the cabaret as a bit of whimsy and nostalgia, echoing back to the early days of the area. The French Can-Can Was Introduced at the Moulin Rouge Many people are familiar with the French can-can dance, in part due to famous paintings by Toulouse-Lautrec, who made La Goulue, one of the can-can dancers, famous. Although the dancers, who lifted their skirts and kicked, were thought to be catering to the amoral by some, it was perceived by others as a type of emancipation of women at the time. The can-can is still performed at the cabaret today, and in addition to dancers, exotic animals, magicians, and acrobats perform at the 850-seat venue, which is sold out every night. It Was One of the First Buildings in Paris With Electricity While Paris is nicknamed the “City of Light,” the Moulin Rouge was one of the first buildings to actually add electric lights. This addition had to have been dazzling to those who were used to gas or kerosene lamps, fireplaces and candles to light their way. Adolphe Leon Willette was a French artist of the period and was the architect that designed the building. He believed that using bright red electric lights on the building’s facade would signify it as an emblem representing the city of Paris. The World’s Most Highly Paid Female Entertainer Worked There Mistinguett, whose real name was Jeanne Florentine Bourgeois, was the daughter of a French day laborer and seamstress, but she wanted to become an entertainer at an early age. She performed risque routines at the Moulin Rouge, Folies Bergere, and other venues, earning a name for herself as the most popular entertainer in France. She became the highest-paid female in the field of entertainment. She was so popular that her legs were insured for 500,000 francs in 1919. The Moulin Rouge Holds Several World Records The “Guinness Book of World Records” recognizes the Moulin Rouge for serving the highest number of bottles of champagne each year. Although ticket holders usually receive a half bottle for each person, plenty of people buy more, which helps account for the 240,000 bottles of champagne served yearly. In addition to this record, the cabaret achieved a world record in 2014 for the can-can dancers lifting their legs 29 times within half a minute.

    5 Things You Didn't Know About McDonald's_2 On October 5, 1902, American entrepreneur Ray A. Kroc was born. Kroc rose from humble beginnings and built McDonald's into the most famous and successful fast-food restaurant in the world. Build up an appetite by checking out these 5 little-known facts about one of America’s favorite fast-food joints... The Restaurant Originally Sold Barbecue Maurice and Richard McDonald opened up a barbecue restaurant called McDonald’s in San Bernardino, California. Later they decided to change the menu to sell hamburgers, potato chips, pies, and milkshakes. Ray Kroc was a milkshake maker salesman who was impressed by the restaurant, and he bought a franchise, opening his first McDonald's in 1955 in Des Plaines, Illinois. The Company Operates a Hamburger University The first Hamburger University was opened in 1961 with a class of 15 students in Elk Grove, Illinois, in the McDonald’s basement there. Now, there are Hamburger University locations worldwide, which have trained over 275,000 managers as well as owners/operators, suppliers, and middle-managers. Training is done in places as far afield as Beijing, Tokyo, Munich, and Sydney. The Largest McDonald’s Is in Orlando, Florida When it comes to entertainment, the McDonald’s in Orlando, Florida is hard to beat. It is the largest McDonald's restaurant in the world. The building is 48 feet high and equipped with a 2,000 square foot arcade, a play structure that’s 22 feet tall, a singing animatronic, and a Ronald McDonald that is 30 feet tall. The menu is unique too, with offerings such as pasta, pizzas, waffles, and omelets. Some McDonald’s Around the World Are Really Different Travelers around the world may be surprised at the difference in menus at McDonald’s and what they offer to keep their local customers happy. In Sweden, at a McDonald’s located near a ski resort, people can stay on their skis to place an order. Hong Kong has taken it even further by offering wedding breakfasts to those who marry there. Wondering what that includes? The wedding feast consists of Big Macs, fries, and McNuggets. Menus at McDonald’s Vary by Country McDonald’s restaurants may look similar around the world, but their menus change to reflect what the people like. In Germany, you can order bratwursts on a bun and a beer to go along with it, while Israel offers McKebabs and McFalafel. Head to Brazil for cheese quiche, the Philippines for McSpaghetti, or to Singapore for burgers that use rice patties instead of the traditional bun.

    Who's fooling who?

    I had surgery that was so simple but she cut one of my organs. A specialist had to repair the organ, but I became very ill almost died. I am a diabetic and I became sepsis and it went to the weakest part, my eye! I had to have antibiotic through the vein that goes through my heart and a nurse had to attend to me daily at home. By the time my eye doctor saw me the pressure in my right eye was so bad, I had to have surgery, but my nerves were damage. I am able to see a little and I see very well from my left eye. I can drive but when I come on here the letters are small again. Something happen again to the large print so it makes it difficult and I still have also the grammar problem so there you have it. I am not sad or upset just I accept it graciously. I still have my health, the only sadness during that time, I could not take care of my mother. My cousin's wife helped us both and she kept my mother, by the time I could get on my feet my mother died. That almost killed me! YAHWEH has brought me through! I am not not like I was but I am still here! There are so many people who are worst off then me! I praise THE MOST HIGH for the mother I had who taught me from a child truth! Now, THE HOLY SPIRIT is leading me and changing me to be like YAHSHUA and that's my desire! Secondly, I know I have a handicap in grammar but I am not going to let it stop me! So if you see things wrong correct it and send it back and ask if this was what I was trying to say and I will appreciate it most kindly! I am not ashamed of my problem, I need to share what I understand and allow THE HOLY SPIRIT to do the rest! So far even with the grammar I think most of you understand what I am trying to present! This is what loving each other is all about! Blessings!
