Grabbing the Prize.

Old Merry-Go-Rounds had great animal rides and a golden Ring.  As the Horses and animals went around and up and down.  The people would try to grab a Golden Ring, sticking out of a box of some sort, as they passed it.  One little fellow was observed not grabbing for the ring.  When questioned he said, "I just enjoy the ride." 

It is in the stars.

A little boy I know was close to his Grandfather.  His Grandfather was a fixer and was constantly working on cars, his home, helping his neighbors and paying attention to this Grandson.  One day his Grandson had to be told his Grandfather had , "Gone to Heaven to help God fix the stars and keep them shining bright for all to see and enjoy."  This little Grandson got the idea to leave money, cookies and milk for his Grandfather on his Grandfathers Birthday and Christmas.  That way his Grandfather would have the strength and finances to fix the stars.  When asked if he was worried Santa Clause would take the cookies by mistake.  The little Grandson thought a moment then thoughtfully replied.  "No Grandpa was a biker and I don't think Santa would mess with his money, milk or cookies."

Where did the phrase hand out originate?

I donated to a Charity once. I believe the Charity people must have a list of people who fill charitable hands when they are out. Ever since that one donation I have been hounded by charities. I get them, online, in the mail, on the street, TV, radio and at my door. Do not get me wrong charities are good and do help people. Sometime they go a little too far. Like the one I was solicited for the other day. It went like this: Because of Hurricane Sandy, and other disasters, "Pet Rocks" have been washed away, stolen, and abandoned. Please give so these adorable "Pet Rocks" can be returned to their homes, or adopted and get new families. Rocks Association Yonkers Nevada On Wednesday.  Also known as Pray now It was an ad on a Carton of Wine with a picture of a lost or missing "Pet Rock."

Just a simple thought.

I grew up watching Shirley Temple, dance, act, sing and generally make people feel good.  Today children are hostage to Honey Boo Boo.  Which makes me wonder.  Why did the Mayan Calendar not end December 2010?

Jogger Buddy.

A Jogger and his dog were trotting by my home as I was getting my mail.  Both seemed to be smiling which seemed unusual.  I gave a shout out, "I see you and your buddy are out for a run."  The Jogger waved back, Yeah we are."  I had to inform him, "I was talking to the dog."   Joggers are so egotistical.

Atoms

Why are Atoms round?  If Atoms were square would not they be more stronger when they bonded together like bricks on buildings or ancient structures?  Imagine a pyramid made of round bricks.  Maybe Atoms just like their space.

Yeah! Sure. Ok.

Growing up I kept hearing that one day the world would be mine. Yeah right I thought. I was reminded again as I grew older. I thought sure. Then as I grew older yet. I realized that the people telling me this had all passed on. They were right. The world is mine. I almost did not realize it until it was too late. So now I am telling my Grandchildren that the world belongs to them. I just hope I do not die before they realize how true this is. Then maybe they will take better care of their inheritance. Which is what was being passed down to each one of us all along.

Jesus Christ Married?

There is a controversy that Jesus Christ was married.  Since he had to pay for the sins of mankind.  It was an idea.  God decided it was close, but not enough. So he did not get married.

A Very Serious Question.

Are Starfish really fish? 

Homeless Season

The Homeless season has started.  The weather is starting to get that Autumn chill and the homeless are starting to check out safe and warm places.  We had a young female crash in our waiting room in the Hospital.  It is a 24 hour open room with free coffee because it is for maternity and welcoming new babies into the world as anxious family members await their birth.  Not a good place because baby security is a priority.  She did manage to stay the night and left early taking her few belongings with her.  I always feel sad because more and more people seem to be homeless.  I read that in early American Colonies the homeless were gathered up in the community and actually auctioned off to the lowest bidder.  They then would have a place to stay and were employed as servants or farm hands to pay for their keep.  The community would help pay for their stay with a small stipend going to the host giving them a place to stay.  Most homeless were considered town idiots and having a low mentality.  Today we have a different system.  Homeless shelters and fast food jobs.  Unfortunately the fast food jobs have been going to former middle class people.

Real Life Live!

There is family that comes to our church that rarely fails to entertain.  The mother looks a lot like "The Nanny" character.  Her husband looks like a TV husband.  They have 3 girls 4 years and up to about 12.
The smallest one is the star of this reality show.  This day the youngest took her one dollar for the collection basket, folded it up, jumped on the church bench, got behind her mother and put the money down her mothers back.  The child then tried to retrieve the dollar.  Unfortunately it fell down her mothers back and the little girl could not get it.  Having a great idea she got off the bench and behind her mother.  With one sweeping motion the small one lifted up her mothers dress to restore the charitable church contribution back to her possession.  The mother shrieked a little, bent over and backwards and pulled her dress back down to a less revealing position.  All done smiles and hugs were given by mother and child as church witnesses smiled and urged out a few chuckles.  Who says church is boring?

My Very Very Bad!

My humblest apologies to T-Mobile.  I did get my rebate and feel terrible I was angry about your services.  The problem was totally on me and I have no excuse.  I did try to call and apologize but could not get the people I talked to due to more error on my part.  So once again T-Mobile accept my apology and I am truly satisfied with your products and services.

Bows

I seem to have observed that the smaller the little girl the bigger the bows in  their hair.  One bow was so big the babies head kind of tilted because of it.  I also noticed that as the girls get bigger the bows get smaller and sometimes disappear altogether.  Maybe we should have an annual bow day! 

Evil vs Good

Do you decide your brain?  Or  Does your brain decide you? 

Where do I Start and Why Can't I finish?

I went to my favorite store Website to check on a small hand held vacuum to keep my keyboard and area around my computer clean.  I found one and it had the warning, "Not in stock at your local store; can only be purchased online."  So I purchased it online.  It only took a few days and I was surprised on how fast I did get it.  I ripped, cut, pulled, and finally cursed open the vacuum in the vacuum sealed packaging.  After tending to my cuts and wounds to my fingers and hands while trying to open said package.  I tried the new Millennium futuristic advanced cleaning item and was surprised how great it sucked up the dust and other dirt particles.  The more I used it the more dust and dirt I was finding.   I noticed little stings on my hand while using the device.  I discovered that the dirt was being sucked in; travelling thru the vacuum and finally escaping thru the vents on the side of the vacuum.  I explored the vacuum, packaging and directions and discovered all the parts were in place and nothing was missing.  Returning it was not an easy task and I will spare you the details.  It was made in China and made me realize the word "filters" may not be in their vocabulary.

Rushing into the Future

I have always wondered why technology has taken off and advanced so far so fast in the last one hundred years. Then all of a sudden technology began taking off really fast in the last 50 years. Well fool me again look how fast technology sped up in the last 25 years. Now it is a daily quick sprint turning into a run . So why does mankind all of a sudden have to advance so quickly into the future? Why now? Is man preparing for a major storm or something. Could some great subconscious mankind reawakening event occur? Maybe it is all those high energy drinks like Rock Star? So what the heck is the rush?

Grandfatherly Advice

When I was ready to get my life on after High School my JaJa, Grandfather, told me these 3 things to help me in my future:

Calling friends.

I think my friend just started a shower so it is time I call them.  No I don't plan this.  It seems to just happen.  That is ok,  people know my bath times better than me.  How about you.  Did you ever drop your cell phone while trying to shower?
