Am I the only one who's seen Direct TV ad w/the angry scraggly-bearded guy?

A couple of days ago I posted the blog directly below this one. The first three commentors didn't act as though they had seen this commercial, and coincidently all are residents of Canadia, with nary a referrence to that very funny ad. I thought about it for awhile, and decided that perhaps people in Canadia (foreigners after all) cannot receive America's civilized broadcast commercial ads. Probably the TV signals froze in mid-air and dropped to the ground, shattering somewhere just north of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Hugo Chavez, Marilyn & me, and lots & LOTS of stray animals!

Well, as I have mentioned in my blogs recently, I am now at least, temporarily unemployed. I don't see any noticeable difference between being retired and being unemployed, but for the fact that retired people needn't waste all that time looking for work. I won't be able to waste my time doing that, until after this whole nightmare with Marilyn's health is over. I imagine that the unfairness of things, gave me a few anger issues, in some people's minds, anyway. It sure has cleared up my... Sign in to see full entry.

MUST insurance companies insult our in...Uh,...I mean MY intelligence?

The recent spate of the new Geico insurance ads featuring an athletic looking, adrenaline addicted nasty "Little pig", one that kept on going, ' Whee Whee WHEEEE!,' all the way home," has made me realize that I and a great many of my fellow telephiles, would eat pigs even if they didn't happen to taste marvelous. We'd probably eat pork six times a week, saving the seventh day for pig roast BARBEQUES! Yes we would likely force ourselves to eat pork products, even if we happened to all be ultra...

Politically very INCORRECT, but that's never stopped me YET!

Two sisters, one a blonde and one a brunette, inherit their family ranch. Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are slipping into deep financial trouble. In order to keep the bank from repossessing their ranch, they need to purchase a bull, so that they can breed their own stock. Before leaving, the brunette told her sister, "When I get there, if I decide that I'm going to buy the bull, I'll contact you, to drive out after me, and haul it on home." The brunette arrived at the man's ranch,... Sign in to see full entry.

Uncomfortable as it is, to type this out loud. "I can't deny MUCH of this!"

Something for you to think about! by a Miss Eileen Farwright! If you've ever wondered upon WHICH side of the fence you sit, this is a great litmus test! Comments in (parentheses,) by the Ol' Sage: If a conservative doesn't like guns, he just doesn't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone. If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly...

What is a life of Celibacy all about? Celibacy can be a choice in life, or a condition imposed upon people, by circumstances. While attending a Marriage Weekend, Frank and his wife Nancy listened to the instructor declare, “It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other.” He then addressed the men. “Can you name and describe your wife's favorite flower?” Frank leaned over, touched Nancy ’s arm gently, and whispered, “Gold Medal-All-Purpose, isn’t it?”...

Yet another example of NOT making one's wishes, clearly understood!

First off, as chauvanistic as this sounds, there are times that the fairer (?) sex and all the rest of us, do seem to speak different languages. Women appear to think that deer camp is just a bunch of drunken, sweaty, smelly, card-playing males, that gather together each November, sequestering themselves in cabins campers and tents, claiming to actually need a yearly break from routine and family. Well okay, I didn't really say that this opinion wasn't correct, but who is to say, just what and... Sign in to see full entry.

Another tangled web we've somehow woven! WEVEN?

Nearly two years ago now, (how the time flies!) I mentioned the original posting of this blog, in a comment. I recall that I was telling Wiley or Kabu, that some of their fellows in the United Kingdom were quite thin-skinned, and didn't recognize sarcasm when they read it. > Wiley & Kabu, > I still intend to post this fairly soon, after I have let a decent > interval pass, because other bloggers conceivably might be a bit curious > to know what it was that I was talking about.

Things could always be worse! Depend on it. THAT comes NEXT!

A quite distraught senior citizen Phoned her doctor's office. 'Is it true,' she wanted to know, 'that the medication You prescribed has to be taken For the rest of my life?' 'Yes, I'm afraid so,' the doctor told her. There was a moment of silence Before the senior lady replied, I'm wondering, then, Just how serious IS my condition? This prescription is clearly marked 'NO REFILLS'!' *********************** An older gentleman was On the operating table Awaiting surgery And he insisted that his... Sign in to see full entry.

And here I suspected that I had a prostate the size of a GRAPEFRUIT!

Subject: There is a new bedtime wine, one that just might save us all! A single glass of this wine, taken at night before sleeping, could mean a peaceful, uninterrupted nights sleep. This is a NEW Wine for Senior Citizens I kid you not... (maybe) California vintners in the Napa Valley area, which primarily produces Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Grigio wines, have developed a new hybrid grape, one that in wine acts as an anti-diuretic, and is expected to reduce the number of trips older...
