Guy's blog about life with pets in northern mich.

I began improving a three year old blog, and continued improving it for so long, that it became a NEW one, pretty much. This was before the movie Bucket List came out, and this is why the movie wasn't mentioned. Guy When there are a lot more yesterdays, than there are tomorrows left to us, it comes as a shock to realize and accept this, as a fact. People tell us that if we’re in the 45 to 50 years of age group, we are about middle aged. We are fooling ourselves into believing that we will live... Sign in to see full entry.

H OW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND DON'T MOVE FAST ANYMORE. Phillip Hewitson, an elderly man, from Norwich, UK, was going up to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from their bedroom window. George opened their back door, to go turn off the light, but he saw that there were people in his garden shed, and they were stealing things. He phoned the police, who asked him, " Is someone inside your house, now?"?" George told the... Sign in to see full entry.

I posted these thoughts in April of '09, and although I have never made any claim of being prescient, I haven't seen anything to change my mind, about what we should expect in the future, have you? Just as I concluded this blog, I can only say again, "How sad!" Guy I think that life today will be looked at as the apex of human existence by those who follow us. Our level of comfort, leisure, diverse employment opportunities, medical care, housing, education, disposable income, entertainment, etc.... Sign in to see full entry.

Yesterday, Marilyn was scheduled to have a CT scan, to find out if she needs to have her gall-bladder surgically removed. Based upon blood-work testing, she was told to be prepared to go under the knife immediately after the scan was completed, if the scan confirmed the doctor’s suspicions that she needs the operation. If you knew Marilyn well, you would know that she works herself into a terrified frenzy anticipating, indeed EXPECTING the worst of all possible outcomes of any testing or medical...

Am I losing what little is left of my alleged mind? Today, I kissed Marilyn goodbye, as I was leaving home to head out to work, just as I do each weekday. Marilyn asked me what I was doing, so early in the day. I was flabbergasted that she had not even realized that it was my USUAL time, to leave for work. I told her that I was going to work, and I wondered why she had lost track of the time. Then it dawned on me that perhaps the time of day was NOT her biggest problem, and as this sunk into my...

I received this yesterday, in an email, from someone that I suspect is a fellow Blogit blogger, real-named Murray Y., because my address name included, Northsage 45, Blogit. Pen names can be confusing! Those who aren't afraid of stalkers, often confide their real name to blogging friends, I know that I do. Those of us with TWO names, can leave people scratching their heads. Anyway, I love "Genie in a bottle" jokes, and you may enjoy this one, too. Hope so. Thanks Murray, whoever you are. Guy The...

Strat suggested that I write this blog for you all, after I included an abridged version of this story in a reply, back in '08. Posted once in '09, I don't feel the least bit guilty putting it up again. I wrote a fairly decent blog two days ago, and it has been read THREE times. Anyway, here it is again. I hope that more than three people read this one, and enjoy it. About 1964, five or six of us guys just outa high school, made a road trip to Harewood Canada, to watch a school friend compete in...

This is the time of year, when wildlife is far more visible than during the other seasons. This probably is due to the tormenting bites of millions of mosquitoes, black flies, and horseflies in the shaded woods, driving the defenseless animals out into open fields, and the fact that mothers are attempting to raise this year’s litters of babies, feeding and teaching them, about living in a dangerous, uncaring world. Imagine trying to ride herd on half-a-dozen adolescent raccoon kits! One might as... Sign in to see full entry.

Before telling you about a movie that I rented and watched yesterday, one that chilled me down to the bone, I must inform you that while I am absolutely NOT tempted to believe in, and am unfazed by all of the man-made superstitions, numerology, astrology, ghosts, religions, and all the other kinds of supernatural BS that those I can only consider to be gullible or deluded, think is REAL. I remain open-minded and undecided however about what to think, regarding life elsewhere, ETs, and UFOs, etc.... Sign in to see full entry.

Men, if you were to be asked, “Have you seen that large pair of Vice-grip pliers anywhere, today?” What would you think was being asked? YES, THANK YOU! YES, YES, YES! You are absotively and posilutely CORRECT! If I were however, to ask Marilyn this, or a similar question, she will always reply with something like this. “I did NOT lose your bleep-bleeped pliers!” Me, “I didn’t think that you had lost the pliers, and I never SAID, that I thought you DID!” Her, “Well then, WHY did you just accuse...
