Frozen pipes, snow up to my...two houses to heat, gardening, ARRRRG!

These are funny....and in many cases, true!!!!

Contemplating mortality. Upon reflection, I've decided that I'm against it.

A new, improved, version of an old posting. I know that I am immortal but it would appear that I am not immune to several of the not so subtle signs that I am becoming older. This makes no sense to me, because I have stored a cover-draped portrait of myself, up in our attic, one like Dorian Grey did. Hey, that reminds me, gray hair is supposed to be solely confined to one’s head! I refuse to say where they are recently showing up on me, but let’s just say, it is quite a bit south of my head....

Doin' my "Sage thing." The 5th lesson will bring tears to your eyes.

Five (5) lessons about the way we treat people 1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady. During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was always a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until that is, I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman, who cleans our school?" Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50's, but how would I know her name? I handed in... Sign in to see full entry.

Dr Phil's test, I got a 40. Borderline, between the two BEST evaluations!

This is extremely interesting.... See what you come up with, and don't cheat! Below is Dr. Phil's test., Its ONLY 10 simple questions! Mark Grantner got 43 Karen Pitylak got 41 Guy Stafford got a 40 (Dr. Phil scored 55, he did this test on Oprah and she got a 38.) Some folks pay a lot of money to find this kind of stuff out! The following test is surprisingly accurate, and it only takes a few minutes. Take this test for yourself, and then send it on your friends.... The person who sent it,... Sign in to see full entry.

As Paul Harvey always said, "And now, for the REST of the story!"

Once again, none of the photos would show, (only a box & a tiny x!) and that is a real shame. I wish someone would show me, or teach me, how one posts photographs. Guy Great Story, Great Outcome!! R emember the guy that wouldn't take the flag down, in his yard? On June 15, 1919, Van T. Barfoot was born in Edinburg -- probably didn't make much news back then. Twenty-five years later, on May 23, 1944, near Carano, Italy, Van T. Barfoot, who had enlisted in the Army in 1940, set out to flank German... Sign in to see full entry.

Still treading water, thinking deep thoughts. Much to consider. Patience!

Still thinking about what to say in my next blog, and just how specific I ought to be, because I don't want to give anyone the wrong idea about what I am thinking about maybe, eventually doing. This is quite a mental leap for me to contemplate, because I am having to walk a completely different level of a legal tightrope, and to put aside lifelong assumptions and prejudices. The shark tank waiting below for those who run afowl of the law, may have different generally lower degrees of danger, but... Sign in to see full entry.

This is like me, lately. No PHYSICAL resemblance whatsoever, though!

Hey, Everybody! I've had a lot on my mind, lately. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can hear you all now, "How can there be a LOT of anything, on such a small mind?" Everybody is a comedian! I'm going to have to spend several HOURS, composing my next blog. If what I have been thinking about, turns out to actually BE true, my future might just be assured. It's one of those, "Choose to relentlessly pursue that which you love, persevere, never stop learning about it, and practicing, to achieve perfecting your... Sign in to see full entry.

Full frontal male nudity. Shocking or laughable! Vote HERE! One vote only!

I'm sure that you have seen pharmaceutical advertising in doctor's offices on everything from tissues to note pads. This one should get First prize.... ( Sorry folks, what you ought to be seeing below, is one of those highly stylized male stick figures, very similar to what we have all seen on placards attached to "Men's Room" doors, imprinted upon one of those rectangular light switch-cover plates. You should be able to conjure up an image of this, in your mind. Of course, the punchline is that... Sign in to see full entry.

Proof that Karaoke singing IS possible, without any LIQUID encouragement!

I cannot believe that this happened, more than THREE YEARS AGO! Time really flys, when you're having a miserable time, huh? Being who and how I am, I'm sorely tempted to show this to her, because she would be profoundly mortified that she ever was that young, that I wrote about her, that I used her real name, and that she wasn't named the winner of this season's "American Idol." She is at that age, where they are all profoundly mortified, by everything anybody notices or says about them. This... Sign in to see full entry.
