Sorry to hear about Tim, not sure if I ever had the pleasure of meeting him. Thank you Jan for alerting us of Tims passing. We dont get a newspaper up here in rural America, so we cant check the obituaries. Seems it's just too hard to have someone throw the paper to us. Why the poor darlings just might have to actually get out of bed and leave the house to deliver the paper, and that can lead to "paper boy delivery syndrome" which can lead to "poor self esteem" and who knows where that might lead.
The Houston Pravda always calls us to see if we will sign up for home delivery, which I always do. Then we dont get the paper, and I call them, and they tell us we are in a no delivery area, so I cancel the subscription. Then they call and want us to subscribe, to which I do, then we get no paper, and I call them, and we are told we are in a no delivery area, and I cancel the subscription....adfinitum, etc etc etc....waiting on them to call again so I can subscribe....yet again.
Why dont I just go to the corner "stop and rob" you ask? Well, buying one at the store costs $4.00 American dollars. That's a mite much for bird cage liner, and BBQ pit fire starter, dontcha think. I havent asked them if they will just mail us a copy, like the WALL STREET JOURNAL will.
I remember in the service, guys were getting their hometown paper in the mail, sometimes a week late, but somethings are better late than never, sometimes, eh what! I've even subscribed to the WSJ, which they mailed to me, and really liked it, but it was just too much information to read and diseminate, and I couldnt keep up with it. I think they should go to maybe oncet a week, or twicet a week.....they havent actually asked me yet for my advice, but I'm sure the call is forthcoming.
I tried the ONLINE paper, and I hated it. Dont like blue tube reading, much prefer hard copy! ! ! Oh well, I've become less interested in the news as I've grown older and much much wiser!
Which leads me to my next thought, how are you and Ed doing? Have you gotten over the Double Pneumonia? It's a tough one to shake. I've found when I've had the double P, or even single P, sitting with the sun on my back seemed to make me feel just a tad better. Even though we are closer to the sun, being up here on Wolverton Mounting, havent seen much of it this past week! Had almost 4 inches of rain one day this week or whenever it rained last. In fact it's raining now, softly, but still raining nonetheless.
Went to my sawbones, Doc Holliday, and received my pneumonia shot, and tetnus shot, one in each arm. Glad they evened it out like that because I would sure hate to deprive BOTH sides from hurting. Got a notice from my insurance agency, Dewey, Cheatum and Howe, that the tetnus shot is not covered because it's not a PREVENTATIVE shot.......! ! ! ! ! ! ?????????? WHAT????? I dont know what moron they have for consulting on meds, but PREVENTION, is all a tetnus shot is about.
Doc referred me to a rhumatolagist ! But of course, they dont use our insurance, and if they did, the insurance company probably would say, they dont cover rhumatolagists, only arthritis ointment, prop H. Was going to get our shingle shot this week, but situations beyond our control have pushed it back to next week. Doc H says if youre going to get a shingles shot, and see a pain doc or rhumatolagist and get prescribed arthritis meds, get the shot first. Why you ask? Well, the arthritis meds lower your immune systems ability to fight infections, and if you get the shot after you go on the meds, you will for sure get shingles! ! !
They're teaching the wrong things in school, or they need to add courses like LIFE 101, GROWING OLDER 101. And say, whilst they are at it, why not teach the brats how to write in CURSIVE, and how to solve math problems without a CALCULATOR....??????? Oh, that's right, they did didnt they, and the brats mommies and daddies thought that was just too cruel, so they quit teaching the aforementioned, and now, the poor little darlings with their wounded "self esteem", wont have to do homework anymore! The inmates are running the asylum ! ! ! "AND JUST WHY CAN'T MY SWEET LITTLE MISUNDERSTOOD JOHNNY/SUE BRING A GUN TO SCHOOL"????? "Why that's just mean spirited"!
I asked an official person about "signatures", and how do folks that DONT KNOW HOW TO WRITE IN CURSIVE, sign official documents, to which the reply was, "they can print their names"....."OMG" says I! Now I am practicing my cursive, making it prettier and prettier hoping to phreaque out some non cursive person, sending them into throes of unbridled loss of self esteem ! ! ! Gosh, I'm so mean ! ! !
Maybe one of the non cursive brats will figure out that PRINTING ones name, is sooooo much eaiser to forge than writing ones name ! ! ! Or not ! Probably dont care eyether !
Ok, me, the smartest person in this room, sitting in for a live and reasonable person, however hard, we hope to have one here next go round, and return control of your TV back to you! "The fault does not lie with this network or station, just whack the set upside it's head a few times, and maybe things will get back to normal, whatever normal might be" ! ! ! ! !
Keep the sun at your six, if you can find it, and ride boldly ride...and endeavor to persevere...
your frien and resident krazy person, with low self esteem, and high ideals...Katmandufus
