Tap and Die.

Tap and die is something my sister use to tell obnoxious males that hit on her.

I just found out it does have something to do with screws but not in a sexual way.

Toilet Seats UP!

The other day I experienced why women get angry when the toilet seat is up. I forgot it was up and fell in. It is a very wet and cold experience and not in a good way. Then I remembered working in a prison and noticed that there are no toilet seats in prison cells. Could that be considered cruel and unusual punishment?

Be good motovation.

My mom was a great motivator. I was being exceptionally bad one day. She very patiently explained to me, "If you don't want to be good and obey me. You better obey God. I can only ground and punish you. He will send you to the fires of hell which are hotter than the fires in a lava filled volcano". "Plus if you are good I give you candy and home baked treats". I became an Altar Boy and went for the baked goods.

Time Travelers

I am a Time Traveler.  I have traveled from 1952 to today.  I have seen changes traveling from past to the future of today.  We are all time travelers.  Each day we begin to travel 24 hours from past,  in the present.  Then at the end of the day we are in the future.  We travel faster when we sleep.  Pay attention to the present it may influence your future as you remember the past.  Travel well and safe.

Christmas Birthdays.

In one of the bible verses Jesus told the apostles.  I did not mind being born on Christmas Day.  It was that Easter Holiday that  really killed me.  Then he gave them all a hug.

Fireplace Memories.

I bought a movie of a burning Fireplace to play on my TV during the Holidays.  I tried to return it because no matter how high I turned up the volume on the fireplace movie,  the room never got warmer.  The clerk told me no returns on them.  I just thought I would warn you. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Beautiful Pain.

My mother once told me that when a baby dies a thorn grows on a Rose.  This happens to remind us life is full of both beauty and pain.  We must cherish the beauty and pain.  That way we can appreciate life.
My sister died when she was 21 and there was plenty of Roses for her and my family.  When my Mother passed years later at 79.  It rained Rose Peddles on her resting place.

Family Pictures

My friend honored me by showing family pictures she had.  Unlike today's photo's.  These were old, faded, off color and had a unique quality to them.  Sharing them with me was a specially good time making our relationship closer.  Have old family pictures?  Share them and feel the warmth of friendship.  It is a memory photo you may cherish.

Mrs. Farley.

Mrs. Farley lived in my neighborhood and I was friends with her sons.  Mrs. Farley always welcomed me into her home even if her sons were not there.  She even let me still visit after Jimmy stepped in a  nest and we  brought him to her.   We left him in her kitchen so she could help him with his shirt full of angry Wasps.  Thanks Mrs. Farley.

Extreme Christmas Shopping

A friend of mine was with her daughter and were going to their car to go Christmas Shopping.  A car with a "Hugh" enclosed luggage carrier on the top passed and her daughter remarked, "Wow!  Now that is the way to shop!"

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.
