Two posts again

My dental appoint yesterday wasn’t until three PM. So yesterday morning I went over to Laurel Ann’s and replaced some of the rotten railing caps on the handicapped ramp. I also got them and some other items painted.

She (bless her little heart) made me a big tuna fish sandwich to eat on the way to the dentist, it was the last good solid food I will be able to eat for a while. I was given a prescription for pain medicine but I didn’t get it filled, and I feel no pain, I’m full of Peppermint Schnapps, LOL. Bob came in just before I left and thanked me for doing the work, he said something like, "You are the best craftsman around here", I replied with, "Yes I am!!". Well, sometimes it’s just hard to be humble. :-) Though I hardly think that I’m the best craftsman in the area, just good at some of the things I do.

Here is a link to an interesting cartoon, though you would have to have seen some of the previous ones to appreciate it.

Today's fun event

Today’s fun event
Borrow a friends or neighbors pickup. Tell em you have to move something. Now….. Drive it like ya stole it…… Return it all dinged up with an empty fuel tank. As a consolation to the owner leave a half case of warm Old Milwaukee on the seat. Toss your empties in the bed. Yes, life is good.

Toothless
I had seven teeth pulled yesterday, I’m now toothless on top, in about a month I can get a denture. It’s great to have that crap gone, I’m a happy camper. And I can still whistle, I knew this one young man that couldn’t, even with all his teeth. When he saw a pretty girl he would holler whit-woo, whit-woo.

Billy B for Pres-nut
In the next election write in Billy B Cook for Pres-nut. Just kidding, I would not want to be Pres-nut of the United States of America. There is nothing united about it and it has an insanity in it. It’s full of Christians, thieves, cons and crackpots. And that is just the ones in government offices.

I see that I have astounded and overwhelmed everyone so much that they are at a lost for words for posting comments. LOL

I need to explain consciousness and higher consciousness and omnipresence better, but not today. I need to do laundry this morning, go to the peace protest at noon, and work this afternoon.

The all
If you are not part of the ALL, then you are part of the problem, not the solution. If this is so, get the fuck off my planet. Just kidding, you are after all just a product of a lot of loonies that raised you and taught you a lot of stupid things and most of you are in the process of un-brainwashing yourselves. Just as I had to un-brainwash myself.

What are you? You are sexual debris. A product of the sexual energies of the cosmos that creates everything. Or do I need to explain that better also?

"Forbes magazine may not be known for its relationship tips, but the business publication is getting a lot of attention right now for an article about finding a wife. Editor Michael Noer has written an editorial titled "Don't Marry a Career Woman" in which he outlines the pitfalls he says men will face if they defy that advice. He bases his theory on a batch of recent studies that claim career women are more likely to cheat on their husbands and get divorced. And they'll also want fewer children. "If they do have kids, they're more likely to be unhappy about it. ... The more successful she is, the more likely she is to grow dissatisfied with you," he writes."

Interesting news story, and while some women disagree with it, I pretty much agree with the story based on my experiences with career women. They just get attitudes that I don’t want to deal with because there isn’t much give and take with them.

Try these words on for size with someone today…. "I love you," OR "I forgive you (or will you forgive me)."

Acts Of Kindness Can Repair Damaged Relationships.

I don’t have a good joke handy today, anyone have a good joke handy? Have a good day everyone. BBC

What a hoot.

Hey, you will love the cartoon posted at Sinfest today, what a hoot.

Beer and Nipples

Save the earth. It's the only planet with chocolate.

I'm getting the rest of my upper teeth pulled today at 3:00. Won’t be able to eat much, I'll just have to drink beer and gum nipples for a few days. Now ladies, stop thinking about that. :-)

Question
Question, why did the Germans sell two German-made Dolphin submarines capable of carrying nuclear warheads to Israel?

A nail
A nail, in a roof, is a frigging leak. A nail anywhere is a frigging leak. Laurel Ann, (and her cranky husband) a sweet lady I’ve known since shortly after moving here that I’ve done a lot of work for over the years has me over there yet again for some painting and other work. I wasn’t available to them at the time so they had someone else replace the deck on the handicapped ramp to the front door.

In the first place it didn’t need to be replaced as the original materials were high quality materials, it just need some repairs in a few places and it would have lasted another ten to twenty years. But that isn’t what happened, the ramp cover (the part you walk on) was removed and plain plywood replaced it. And to make matters worse, they put rolled roofing material on top of it. Rolled roofing is wonderful for traction in bad weather but it’s the dumbest thing to put on wood that has the edges exposed so that water might seep under it.

The ramp is about a foot wider than the roofing, so there are six inches on each side that is exposed wood, still following me? Rainwater sets on the wood, seeps under the roofing, and starts rotting the wood under it. And they attached the roofing to the ramp with nails, frigging nails !! In time the nails work a little loose, water starts working its way in, and you start getting these little rotten spots in the wood everywhere there is a nail. After a while you just have another rotten ramp deck.

If people are going to use rolled roofing on a deck or ramp they should glue it down and use not nails at all. He should have at least put a good seal coat on it before putting the roofing down. My roof on my building is rolled roofing, I didn’t use any nails on it, I glued it down. Screw nails, nails are leaks.

And when the man put the decking down he used drywall screws, he should have used deck screws, they last much longer, even if water seeps in. I could have done some repairs on the original deck and it would have lasted as long as this new material is going to last. Oh well, it’s a done deal, screw it. It will last as long as they are going to I suppose.

This is the place
This is the place !! Yes !! You can find pretty much anything here. Worry, wit, wisdom, insults, sorrow, joy, fun, and pure silliness. Leave any comment you like and share anything you like, vent if you need to, got a good joke to share with the rest of us? Pretty cool place hey? This is a hell of a lot more fun than being a Buddhist. Or a Christian, or a Muslim, or a …… Complete brainwashed idiot like they are.

And it’s my parade, those that don’t like my parade can go get in another one.

Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another.

Many others
So many others that I have been meeting through blogs are doing such a great job at picking at and fussing at how things and our leaders are that I don’t have too. God is like that, God delegates serious work to others to do. :-)

Stuff flows to me
As I’ve said before, stuff flows to me, I mentioned to a friend that I needed a motorcycle helmet. A few days later I stopped at his shop and someone that he had mentioned it to had dropped off a very nice full face helmet for me. It’s bright orange, should make this country bumpkin look like a pumpkin.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

niCk (Mem Beth) Said on his Blog, "Why are so many people preoccupation with existence of G-d?. Look, it's even happening to me, but it's because I read it in so many blogs. It is because evolution has developed the human mind for survival. We have an internal instinct to want to survive, even after death. The survival instinct is strong, so many people obsess about it and create fantasies so they can believe that even after their death, their consciousness will continue."

Well Sir…. What makes you think that your consciousness won't continue? Once you figure out that there is no Christian or Muslim, or any other religious God, yet you still sense that there is something there, you have to figure out what it is. Once you figure out that it is a collective consciousness only, and not a single being, and you accept it, that you are God, or at least a part of God, of the all, in evolution. Then you can just relax and be a part of it all and have some fun with it. God is nothing anyway, Mrs. God can still stomp your ass. Keep it simple stupid.

I don’t know what got into me, I got out the Kirby and vacuumed yesterday.

Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.

Big tits? I went into the VFW in Richland, Wa. One evening with a member of the Insane Chicks Society, she was a washed up model on her way to getting three drunk driving tickets in as many days. My Mother and Grandmother where there, it was a Friday evening and there was music and dancing. My Grandmother was an old lady by then but she still had these really big knockers.

The insane chick spent the whole evening staring at her and saying "She sure has big tits." Envy I suppose. Gotta run, have a good day everyone. BBC

Ever ask God, or whoever, whatever, why this world is so messed up? What answer might you expect to get back? How about "YOU go about YOUR business of doing MY business or it’s going to stay messed up."

Bill's Robe

Okay, I resized the picture to be under 100 kb and then was able to post it here. So if any of you folks are not having any luck posting pictures on your blog resize them to be under 100 kb and then you should be able to post them.

I can’t seem to find the right page on Blogspot where my images are stored. I’m sure I have a few on their server that isn’t required and I would like to delete them. On the other hand, maybe it doesn’t matter.

Clicking on the image makes it bigger of course, if you are new to blogging. I’m pretty new, don’t know all the ins and outs of using Blogspot. But it’s clear that any idiot can at least make a simple blog, I’m living proof of that. :-)

Poor Pussy

We now have a pussy that isn’t ever going to get any pussy. I took the kitten, I’ve named her Honey, to the vet to have her spayed. The poor thing, she thought that I and the lady next door where the only big weird frigging things on this planet and she had gotten used to us, even came to love our attention. And then this weird thing puts her in a cat carrier and takes her to a place that has big weird things all over the frigging place. I hope it didn’t freak her out too much. But most of those big weird things at the vets are cute and smell good, female units you know, I wanted to get in a cage with one of them myself. But, she is probably the vice president of the local chapter of the Insane Chicks Society. Sigh…….

Interesting blog by Glenda, I’m just amazed that she can keep four blogs going, that is more than I even have time to keep track of, so I’m just going to watch this one.
http://swiftspeech.blogspot.com/

Scott Adam’s got a new suit. Billy got a new, well, nothing. Billy’s ego doesn’t need a new suit so he can fly around the country making speeches and acting important. Scott confuses Billy, he acts like an ecologist and human that cares at times, but then blows it with all his trips and acting important. I think that he is interesting, but I do not think that he is important.

Besides, Billy should not be allowed loose in stores to buy clothes for himself. Billy is a clothes-shopping idiot. Billy shops in thrift stores for everything except undies and socks and shoes. But I seldom shop for clothes, when I moved here it was with the assumption that the cosmos would provide what I need, and that works very well for me so things just keep flowing to me. So many things at times that I have to pass them on or I would have way too much stuff here.

Billy’s favorite ‘suit’ is a ‘robe’ that Ellen gave me, I don’t know what to call it, folks have given me different names for it. I use it when I’m doing weddings, at the peace rallies, and feeling spiritual. Most folks like it, I get a lot of comments on it, I’m looking for more like it. Would like a lighter one for warm days, and a shorter one for when I hike to the hot springs to be at one with the cosmos. I’ll post a picture of it at the end of this post.

Buddhist bullshit
I feel like picking on Buddhists today, I’ll pick on Christian’s and Muslim’s another day. I’m all about fair play, I’ll pick on all idiots and religions, um, all religious idiots that is.

"Not thinking about anything is Zen. Once you know this, walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is Zen. To know that the mind is empty is to see the Buddha...Using the mind to look for reality is delusion. Not using the mind to look for reality is awareness. Freeing oneself from words is liberation."

Bah, frigging Buddhists, empty minds my butt, their heads are full of grapes. We are here to tackle things, fix things, not run from them, and too make the world a better place. Running and hiding from the mind is for frigging cowards. I don’t know many Buddhists, but the ones I do know don’t have any ‘Zen’, they have frigging grapes in their heads, that apparently have fermented and made them as loopy as hell. The only thing more weird than a Buddhist is two Buddhists, they often can’t even stand each other. They are about as much fun to be around as watching grapes ferment. Boooooring. Avoid the Buddhists, they will put you to sleep, or drive you to blow your brains out just to get away from them. Fuck it, sing and dance, make some noise, lots of it. And give someone a hug, Buddhists are terrible at hugs and love, they are so distant, and I like them distant, about two thousand miles away from me is just about right. :-)

"If you come upon Buddha on the road, kill him." I wouldn’t go as far as that, but I’m sure not going to party with the idiot. They think that we are here to suffer, and to that I say……. BULLSHIT !! Really, we’re just here to be happy and piss off the Buddhists. LOL

Zen, I’ll tell you what Zen is, a beer and some good sex with a spiritual Goddess. But I can’t find her, sigh. Now that I’m thinking about that I’ll have to have an out of body experience with the president of the local chapter of the Insane Chicks Society. That’s masturbation for you slow witted readers. :-)

Okay, I’m back, where were we? Wait, cover for me, going in for seconds, I’ll be right back. LOL

People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact
on history. - Dan Quayle (Raise your hand if you are as weird as I am)

Violence as a way of gaining power...is being camouflaged under the guise of tradition, national honor [and] national security. - Alfred Adler

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.

Here is an interesting link. I’ll gladly steal anything I come across that I think might be profound, meaningful, touching, heartfelt, or help change the world in some little way. Or just give us something to laugh about, it’s all about balance you know. Copyrights are for technical manuals, everything else is fair game to all of us. Just because someone writes something and thinks it is an original thought to them doesn’t mean it is. So I encourage all of you too take anything off the web that you like and think might make the world a better place, and pass it on. Those that want to make money trying to make the world a better place, bah on them. I’ve always said that truth and wisdom should be free to all, and they can’t sue all of us.

Correction niCk (Mem Beth): They are not voices in your head, they are things that are trying to flow through you. Well, they may be in your head, but that isn’t where they want to stay, they want to move on, flow through you. Following me? So share all your useful love and wisdom and worries with others, it’s what our journey and evolution is about.

So when I took the kitten to the vets the other day, Helen (the cat-loving lady next door) went with me, and then invited me to have breakfast out with her. I seldom eat out other than at fast food joints where I can get a turd for a buck, I prefer to eat at home where food is dirt cheap. So we went to the Cornerhouse Café, my favorite place to go if eating out at a sit down place.

It’s been remodeled after a fire a few years back and is clean and friendly and the prices are reasonable, I’m only willing to pay so much for another turd. A thirty-dollar lobster is still just another turd at the end of the day. I’m a simple man and an easy keeper and I don’t eat much, it doesn’t take a lot to keep a hundred and sixty-five pounds of bullshit going. But I’m still pissed that I have to pay sales tax on beer, doesn’t pouring it over your corn flakes at breakfast make it a food item?

Hell, when I go to the liquor store for Rum to inject in my chicken thighs and breasts I don’t have to pay sales tax, this is not fair. Oh, oh, I just said thighs and breasts didn’t I? Don’t go away, I’ll be right back.

Anyway, I ordered the three-meat, three-egg scramble that was the breakfast special for $6.25. When the waitress brought it I looked at it and said, "Holy Christ, that is enough food to feed an army." It was on a big oval platter with a large pile of scrambled eggs and meat on one end, a huge pile of hash browns in the middle, and two slices of toast on the other end.

As I sat there eating I was thinking about the fact that thirty thousand people on this planet would starve to death today, that mothers would have to watch their children die because she had nothing to feed them. That she might have to eat her first born in order that she might continue to live for another day, that does happen. Yup, I was thinking what a screwed up world this is. I took some of it home for breakfast the next day. Two turds for $6.25, not a bad deal at all I guess, but at home I can make a turd for fifty cents. I can feed a person for a crummy quarter a day by giving to The World Food Bank.

My knees are getting old, having spent so much time on them begging for sex. Well, that is more funny than saying that I wore them out working, and trying to shove my leg up my butt with a motorcycle. The house I’m painting in is two stories, all those stairs and going up ladders a lot is showing me my age.

Another correction: You can’t glue a plastic carburetor float back together with a glue gun like I mentioned earlier, it falls apart again. Glue guns are wonderful for some things, but not so wonderful for other things. You can’t build birdhouses with them either, they will fall apart in the rain and all the little eggs tumble out.

Balance folks, it’s all about balance. Balance the things that are wrong with humor, don’t let it all drive you insane, crazy is okay, insane is an ugly thing.

I am the all, you are the all, we are the all. Ah shit, we are so screwed. But hey, be cheerful and carefree, sing and dance, let the Buddhists do the suffering for us. LOL

Update: Honey, the kitten is back home and doing fine, I take her back in thirty days for a shot. I’m thinking of having an identification chip put in her. Then I’ll have, you know, a chippy pussy.
Hum, I can't get the picture of me in my robe to load to Blogspot this morning. Will try another time.

Glenda !!

Glenda !! How in the world can you keep four blogs running? I barely have time for one. And of course you can use anything on my blog that you like, I swipe a lot of it anyway. And even the words that I do write, they are not my words, they are just words that flow through me. Just as the words that you write are words that flow through you. Go back far enough in time and you will see that none of us are having any original thoughts when it comes to war, love, sex, greed, respect for mother earth, and many other things like that.

I think that everyone needs some humor today, so I’m going to post a picture of the girlfriend I left in Montana. (Click on it to make it larger)

Two posts again

Well aren't I just the little post bitch? LOL
Mouse Story ...
A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package.
"What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered - He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap. Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning. "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you but it is of no consequence to me, I cannot be bothered by it."

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The pig sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray, be assured you are in my prayers."

The mouse turned to the cow and said, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse, I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose."

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap-- alone. That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- Like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer's wife, the farmer rushed her to the hospital and she returned home with a fever.

Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.

But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.

The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness. So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- When one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.

We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another. One of the best things to hold onto in this world is a friend. Each of us is a vital thread in another person’s tapestry.

Piss on money?

So I just went back and reread the rant that Sharona put on my blog on 8/18/2006. I’m going to address one thing she said.

"You say "piss on money," but it comes in pretty fuckin' handy when you have a kid, bub. It also comes in handy TO PAY *YOUR* SOCIAL SECURITY. Stop collecting *MY* money and do something useful like WORK if you truly "piss on money". YOU go work the shitty job. But you won't do that, because you don't walk the walk--you only talk the talk."

Well, the thing is sweetie-pie, it’s true that we need money, it’s what makes the world go around, all I’m saying is that we don’t need more, because having more won’t make us any more happy. So what I’m saying is "piss on more money". I know a lot of rich people that are not happy, I work for them all the time, and I don’t like working for them. I’ve made a lot of money in the past, lived in nice homes and all that, it was a pain in the butt trying to keep up with every other idiot that wanted to put on aires.

As for my working, I guess you haven’t read much of my blog or you would know that I worked hard all my life. That I’ve never asked or expected anyone to do something I wouldn’t do. I did and still do all the shitty work that no one else wanted to do, so you don’t know what in the fuck you are talking about. I’ve been a janitor for myself in my own businesses, and for others that think they are too fuckin’ good to do such work. As a service manager in dealerships I’ve managed up to twenty mechanics and trained them, and still cleaned up messes behind them.

I still get on steep roofs and clean out gutters, clean toilets, build things, fix things, do my share of volunteer work, and cook breakfast for the old lady next door everyday. I clean everything but my place. LOL. Not long ago I crawled under a house through millions of spiders and cobwebs and over old shit from a broken sewer line to replace thirty feet of wire for a dying lady so that she can keep warm. Black shit came out of my nose for three days. I’ll willing to guess that I do more honest work in a day than you do in a week you spoiled American brat, and I have the dirty fingernails to prove it. Unless your husband has a low paying trade or job you have all your real needs taken care of. Go ahead, feel free to comment on this, will I allow the post so you can rant at me? You bet, I don’t monitor my posts, you get instant mouthing off to the rest of the world, so go ahead and show them what you are.

Good chicks
Sure, I like to fuss about the screwed up women on this planet, why shouldn’t I? I have to live around them. But thankfully there are also some good chicks on this planet. Although I’ve just recently discovered their blogs I like what I see on them, and I would like to like to honor two of them. I thank the cosmos for ladies like these, I’m sure they are fine women, gals like this rock, because they frigging care about more than just themselves.

And I will give honorable mention to this one, even though she does think that I’m a crazy old fuck, a point I won’t argue. It would be like Einstein and I sitting here arguing about which one of us was the most crazy. It wouldn’t matter, we would both know it and be okay with it.
http://adventuresindisaster.blogspot.com/

Hey, I just want things to be right on this planet. It’s a beautiful physical place were we can have these beautiful experiences. Drink a little booze, smoke a little dope, enjoy music and dance. Oh, and sex, not that I get any from all the insane needy chicks around here. Things like that. All this greed and fighting and destruction of the planet really bothers me. Many people here don’t get that decent basic life.

All I’ve wanted all my life is to have a basic simple life that is affordable, and now that I have it I’m not letting an overly needy woman tell me that we need more. Been there, done that, they are never happy, just always want more. Others might think I’m crazy because I send money to try to help make other folks lives better, but I don’t much care what others think, they are a part of me, I want to try to help make their lives better also, at least get a little food in their guts.

I fuss about all the fighting and greed of course, but God is busy with other things and hasn’t got the time to spend on all problems. God in human form is as limited as everyone else. That is why I turn those worries over to others. Badtux does a much better job of fussing about the wars than I have the time for.
http://badtux.net/

And a lady that lives in France
http://minou-in-france.blogspot.com/
That reads my blog commented about me on her blog.

She said "I have been reading this blog for a while now, http://bbc98362.blogspot.com/ and I would like to say that it echoes pretty much my own attitude to life, the world and everything. We all need to laugh a little at the absurdities of life, as well as not take ourselves too seriously - we are just a speck of dust in the entire universe after all."

Well, I do take a lot of things seriously and do a lot of fussing and bitching, but why should I take myself seriously? Hell, no one else does. God is omnipresent, not omnipotent, there are all kinds of shit here that I can’t make right, so I balance it out with humor and accepting that I’m an idiot in evolution. That because you are all part of the all, that you are all idiots in evolution. Some of us are just better idiots is all.

And what is the true skinny on kissing? Not that it will stop me from kissing.

On writing

On Scott Adam’s blog the other day he asked "If aliens landed in your backyard and gave you one minute to describe everything there is to know about human behavior, what would you say?"

I think my answer was okay but maybe the most honest and funniest one was posted by Robert.

Alien: You have one minute to describe the totality of Human behavior!
Human: Fuck you.

Love this DOCTOR!!!! (This is silly, but kind of fun, and the last part is true)
Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need gain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good!

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! .... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. And remember: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride"

I have made this [letter] longer, because I have not had the time to make it shorter.

All of us learn to write in the second grade. Most of us go on to greater things. - Bobby Knight

Many books require no thought from those who read them, and for a very simple reason; they made no such demand upon those who wrote them. - Charles Caleb Colton

Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. - Cyril Connolly

You ask me why I do not write something. I think one's feelings waste themselves in words, they ought all to be distilled into actions and into actions which bring results. - Florence Nightingale

How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live. - Henry David Thoreau (Don’t look at me, I’ve lived it and have the wear and tear to show it)

Write something to suit yourself and many people will like it; write something to suit everybody and scarcely anyone will care for it. - Jesse Stuart

The way you define yourself as a writer is that you write every time you have a free minute. If you didn't behave that way you would never do anything. - John Irving

If a writer wrote merely for his time, I would have to break my pen and throw it away. - Victor Hugo

I do not write because I want to, I write because I’m driven to. – Billy B Cook

I don’t recall the exact quote even though I know I have it on one of my documents on this computer. But it goes something like "If you are trying to fix the world, it’s because you are trying to fix yourself." So lets look at some quotes with the word ‘world’ in them, but later, maybe in my next post.

Ever ask God, or whoever, whatever, why this world is so messed up? What answer might you expect to get back? How about "YOU go about YOUR business of doing MY business or it’s going to stay messed up." BBC

I'm so stupid

I’m so stupid
A friend talked me into doing a little touch up painting for him, to get a home ready for sale as they have moved into another one in town. He assured me that it was just a little work. Oh sure, when I got there yesterday it turned into five rooms and some of the ceilings.

Well, no point in whineing about it, I’ll just get them done as soon as possible. Everyone keeps complaining that they can’t find workers, where in the hell is everyone? Off writing books? Doesn’t anyone believe in honest labor and craftsmanship anymore? Why am I constantly turning down work? Aren’t I supposed to be retired? They keep making more people, there should be plenty of workers, has everyone gotten lazy? I see that I have more questions than I have answers.

I was at a meeting about four years ago and a man said that in twenty years a carpenter was going to cost about four hundred dollars an hour, if you could find one. Seems like it will be true, isn’t that interesting?

On advice
It is very difficult to live among people you love and hold back from offering them advice. - Anne Tyler

Some people like my advice so much that they frame it upon the wall instead of using it. - Gordon R. Dickson

There is no human problem which could not be solved if people would simply do as I advise. - Gore Vidal
The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right. - Hannah Whitall Smith

Many receive advice, few profit by it. - Publilius Syrus (100 BC)
In giving advice, seek to help, not please, your friend. - Solon (638 BC - 559 BC)

I went to the peace rally at noon yesterday, there where about twenty people there, only twenty, sad isn't it? And many of the people driving by give us the 'fuck you' finger. What a sick country I live in. But at least it's not war torn, yet.

An interesting book
When I was in the library a few days ago I scanned the new books section and noticed "it’s NOT me, it’s YOU" Subtitle "the ultimate BREAKUP book." So of course I checked it out, it’s an interesting book. The authors are Anna Jane Grossman and Flint Wainess. I have some great quotes on breakups but don’t have time to look for them right now.

And I have a great picture of revenge, but I’m not going to post it here. Don’t want pictures taking up my allotted blogger space. It is a picture of what appears to be a lot of folks at an outdoor concert, an airplane is flying overhead trailing a banner that says "Scott Kelly has a small dick." I’m sure you can picture that in your minds.

New World Order
Rose sent me a pdf document with scary information about the New World order some are trying to build. I haven’t read it all yet as it is long.

The problem isn't that a New World order is a bad idea, because it isn't. It's just that it's trying to be done improperly. I have no problem with a one-world government and getting rid of nationalism and patriotism and things like that. But the current New World order they are trying to create is being created by capitalists and idiots that like power. A proper New World order would be done spirituality.

I swiped this story off of the web because I think that it’s worth sharing.
The Wisdom Of Sharing
Stone Soup
There are many variations on the story of stone soup, but they all involve a traveler coming into a town beset by famine. The inhabitants try to discourage the traveler from staying, fearing he wants them to give him food. They tell him in no uncertain terms that there's no food anywhere to be found. The traveler explains that he doesn't need any food and that, in fact, he was planning to make a soup to share with all of them. The villagers watch suspiciously as he builds a fire and fills a cauldron with water. With great ceremony, he pulls a stone from a bag, dropping the stone into the pot of water. He sniffs the brew extravagantly and exclaims how delicious stone soup is. As the villagers begin to show interest, he mentions how good the soup would be with just a little cabbage in it. A villager brings out a cabbage to share. This episode repeats itself until the soup has cabbage, carrots, onions, and beets-indeed, a substantial soup that feeds everyone in the village.

This story addresses the human tendency to hoard in times of deprivation. When resources are scarce, we pull back and put all of our energy into self-preservation. We isolate ourselves and shut out others. As the story of stone soup reveals, in doing so, we often deprive ourselves and everyone else of a feast. This metaphor plays out beyond the realm of food. We hoard ideas, love, and energy, thinking we will be richer if we keep to them to ourselves, when in truth we make the world, and ourselves, poorer whenever we greedily stockpile our reserves. The traveler was able to see that the villagers were holding back, and he had the genius to draw them out and inspire them to give, thus creating a spread that none of them could have created alone.

Are you like one of the villagers, holding back? If you come forward and share your gifts, you will inspire others to do the same. The reward is a banquet that can nourish many.

Ever ask God, or whoever, whatever, why this world is so messed up? What answer might you expect to get back? How about "YOU go about YOUR business of doing MY business or it’s going to stay messed up." BBC

I'm honored

First a good joke
A teacher is explaining biology to her 4th grade students. "Human beings are the only animals that stutter", she says.

A little girl raises her hand. "I had a kitty-cat who stuttered", she volunteered. The teacher, knowing how precious some of these stories could become, asked the girl to describe the incident.

"Well", she began, "I was in the back yard with my kitty and the rottweiler, who lives next door got a running start and before we knew it, he jumped over the fence into our yard! "That must've been scary", said the teacher.

"It sure was", said the little girl. "My kitty went 'Fffff, Fffff, Fffff'...and before he could say "Fuck," the rottweiler killed him!"

I’m honored
I’m truly honored that Sharona read my blog yesterday and choose to leave a comment, even if she doesn’t like a mirror held up before her. I didn’t even know she bothered to read my blog. For someone that stated a while back that she doesn’t care what others think of her she sure seems to have gotten riled up. Ha, ha, ha. I like to piss off spoiled American women that are never happy with what they have. And Sharona, I earned my retirement, it won’t cost you a penny so don’t worry about it. I’m sure that I’ve pissed away more money than you will ever make. :-)

It’s interesting to note that needy people always hate ecologists, what do they care if this world goes to hell so long as they can spoil themselves. Are never happy with what they have and always want more, and still aren’t happy. I have no use for people that don’t care about the planet and it’s future and I make that pretty clear. Being as she deleted my comments there is no record of what I said, but it’s interesting to note that she ranted at me a lot more than the wisdom I was trying to give her. Damn, I am just so honored that a renowned author choose to leave a rant on my blog, it made my day!!!! It was better than having a tooth pulled and I always enjoy that. Yes, life is good.

Interesting quote
Paradise is exactly like where you are right now... only much, much better.

Well, the reason is because others screwed up needs, greed’s, and realities are always getting in my way, or this would be more like a paradise to me.

Count me in as being a dissenter: The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself. - Archibald MacLeish, poet and librarian (1892-1982)

And as Albert Einstein said. Nationalism is an infantile disease.

The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them. - Will Rogers
Oh dear, did I gossip about Sharona? I sure did, I hope everyone else enjoyed it even if she didn’t. And her rant is interesting, tells me a lot about her.

Until you make peace with who you are you'll never be content with what you have. - Doris Mortman

I don't really think about anything too much. I live in the present. I move on. I don't think about what happened yesterday. If I think too much, it kind of freaks me out. - Pamela Anderson

I wonder if she ever thinks about having to pack those big boobs around when she gets older.

That reminds me of an old song. Jumped for the saddle, the saddle wasn’t there, rammed nine inches up the old gray mare. Come a tie my pecker to a tree, to a tree, come a tie my picker to a tree.

The first time I saw her she was standing in the door and the nipples on her titties hung clean to the floor. Come a tie my pecker to a tree, to a tree, come a tie my picker to a tree.

The last time I saw her, haven’t seen her since, she was jacking off a nigger through a barbed wire fence. Come a tie my pecker too a tree, to a tree, come a tie my picker to a tree.

Boy, can you tell I was raised in a mining town? LOL. And don’t take offence at the word nigger, it’s just a word in a song, it isn’t like I have anything against those folks. I judge people by what they are, not what bloodline they are.

What I spent, is gone; what I kept, I lost; but what I gave away will be mine forever. - Ethel Percy Andrus

The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind. - Maya Angelou

A silly poem
My wife woke up this morning
She was feeling very ill.
I don't know what caused it,
She isn't on the pill,
I had to help her down the stairs,
Her legs were so unsteady,
I had to help her to the kitchen,
To get my breakfast ready!

Most interesting blogs.

Most interesting blogs.
While I find Scott Adam’s blog to be entertaining, and even educational at times. I think the three most interesting blogs on the web are Alabama Buzz and Badtux, and of course mine. We all share a strange journey together on the way to a higher enlightenment, at least that is the way I see it. So I’m adding Badtux to my list on the right. When he’s writing satire it’s hard to follow him at times, but when he’s hammering at the truth he is generally right spot on, I think. And he finds some very interesting information and sites to share with us. Blog’s will help change the world socially one day.

Sharona at
http://www.sharonanelson.blogspot.com/
Complained that she is having trouble writing her love stories. Gotta write love stories to make a living I guess, in her mind anyway. I suggested that she get a real job and then just write for the love of it. Or as I said to her, you don’t need more money, all you have is all you need. People always think they need more money, bullshit. I put two comments on her blog that she approved, then I sent two more, she not only didn’t approve them, she deleted the first two. Small people do that, he, he, he.

And I’ll never read one of her books, they are fiction, made up. I like first person love stories, like Richard Bach’s "The Bridge Across Forever." I’ve read it two times, it’s the only love story I’ll ever have to read. Or "I Take Thee Serenity." That was a very good love story also. If she writes a first person love story about her and her husband maybe I will read it. But I suspect that she doesn’t live the stories she writes, that she is just another American woman that is needy and wants more than she has. Why can’t people just go with the age-old wisdom of "All I have is all I need." ???? Really, if you have a roof over your head, food in the cupboard, someone to share life with, what more do you need? Believe me, I’m not going to ask Sharona.

I’m having two teeth pulled today, getting rid of these teeth is like a gift. I’d rather have teeth pulled than get a new car. Seven more to go and I can get a plate.

That's odd

Since I started allowing comments I have not had one person tell me that I’m an idiot. I’m sure that someone must think so though. On the other hand maybe it’s because I only have about three readers? Could be, I don’t know how many people read this blog. And I’ve noticed that on Scott’s blog that we don’t call each other idiots as much as we used too. Guess we’ve figured out that we are all idiots, and decided to be okay with it.

Hindu Women
For centuries, Hindu women have worn a spot on their foreheads. We have always naively thought that it had something to do with their religion. The true story has recently been revealed by the Indian Embassy in Washington, D.C. When one of these beautiful women gets married, she brings a dowry. On her wedding night, the husband scratches off the spot to see if he has won either a convenience store, a gas station, a donut shop or a motel in the United States. Just thought you would like to know. :-)

A cold start solenoid for the Honda scooter is sixty bucks, I’m not spending that much just to get it to start when cold, I’ll fix up my own system, that’s why I’m a master mechanic. Then while working on it the carburetor fell off of the work area and broke the float (If you’re not fucking up some it’s because you’re not doing anything). So it was back to the Honda shop, they wanted almost forty bucks for a silly little plastic float. What a rip-off. So I got out the glue gun and put it back together. And there is no way to adjust the float, the service manual says that if it isn’t in specs to install a new float. How in the hell would that help if they are all the same. So I shimmed it with a little piece of metal.

The Insane Chicks Society
A woman, no matter how old she is, that is screwed up in how she thinks about relationships, men, love and sex, can have immature ways of thinking. For example, #$&@! kept fussing about how many emails I sent her, and they all wasn't personal ones, some were jokes and other things, like I send others. She kept complaining that I wasn't respecting her 'email boundary’. I finely told her that she hadn't defined it, how many a day was acceptable? One? Two? Three? Never once did she reply to that. What she did instead was change her email address so I couldn't send her any more at all. That is very immature, something a fourteen year old would do. I could also make some other examples of how she is immature also.

And many books on the subject isn't helping them any, they tell them to 'control' the situation. That is the dumbest fucking advice in the world. I think at levels way above her, there is no way she could ever control our situation in the ways she tries to, and women like that complain that you are trying to control them. My advice to guys is that if they are dealing with a woman like that, it’s best to just move on and look for someone more mature.

So lets take that up another notch in thinking and see where it takes us. She, and most women, can't grasp the difference between spirit and human brain. Her spirit loves me, but her mixed up human brain interferes with that. Her spirit wants to hold my hand, but her mixed up human brain interferes with that. Her spirit wants me to kiss her breasts and make them happy, but her human brain gets in the way of that. Still following me?

The bottom line is that she has to get that brain squared away or she is never going to have a decent relationship with any man. I don't know what books she reads about relationships but they are not helping her. She needs to back up and take a good look at John Gray. And read 'I'm Ok, Your Ok' about three times.

Still, get a complex man like me, and a scatter brain like her together and it sure does get interesting. Gives me things to write about.

I've helped a few women, we didn't stay together, but at least they went on to have decent relationships with other men. And some are just so stupid that they can never be helped. One that I tried to help, and spent a lot of money in the process, is headed to jail, for the third time. I'm pretty sure that no one is ever going to be able to help her.

A flight to San Diego had such a remarkably smooth landing that the passengers broke into a spontaneous applause. Upon hearing of their delight, the Captain made this announcement, "Ladies and gentlemen, I understand you are pleased with our landing. I'd like to take credit for it, but it was actually our co-pilot who is in training that landed the plane. As soon as he is sufficiently trained, I am sure that will not happen again."

In 1951, Red Skelton and a party of friends flew to Europe, where Skelton was to appear at the London Palladium. As they were flying over the Swiss Alps, three of the airplane's engines failed. The situation looked very grave and the passengers began to pray. Skelton went into one of his best comic routines to distract them from the emergency as the plane lost altitude, coming closer and closer to the ominous-looking mountains. At the last moment, the pilot spied a large field among the precipitous slopes and made a perfect landing. Skelton broke the relieved silence by saying, "Now, ladies and gentlemen, you may return to all the evil habits you gave up twenty minutes ago."

A lady she ain't

Following are two items that I put in a news letter I put out once a week when I lived in Utah and owned a parts house in a small town.

Lady
2-22-91 A LADY SHE AIN'T
In fact, she ain't nothing but a hound dog. Now I like dogs, but I'm not much into ownership. They irritate my cats. And if you live in town they usually irritate some of the neighbors. But Marie decided she wanted a pup. I suspect she decided she would never be able to control me and a woman needs something to boss around. It's the mother instinct. She decided on a mixed hound puppy. Eight weeks old and cute as a button.

We named her Lady. Ha !! This dog has a little nuclear reactor in it. Takes her about three tenths of one second to get from end of the house to the other and back again. I wouldn't say she's gay, but she especially likes pretty women. So if you come in the store carry a stick or kiss your hosiery goodbye. You can get her to sit for a goodie but this dog is going to fail obedience class. She constantly jumps up on you, bites you, wanders away on walks and generally disobeys you. Now to me she's just being a pup but it really frustrates Marie. I can't help but love something that likes junk food, beer, cigarettes, pretty women, lounging on the couch with me, and of course, running Marie up the wall. Yup !! A lady she ain't. But she's a gal after my own heart.

7-5-91
A CLASS ACT
I didn't want to be involved in dog ownership and I told Marie so when she started talking about getting a pup. But she brought home a hound pup, cute little bugger. I couldn't help but to become attached to her. As she developed I became even more so. She was easy to housebreak but one thing that amazed me was that she wouldn't even go in her pen outside. Always waited till one of us arrived to let her out. Cleanest dog I've ever seen.

But she was a pain in the butt. Always climbing up on my lap. Jumping on me, licking the top of my beer can. Chewing me out when I got home and plopped down on the couch to rest when she wanted to play or go run. Jumping on customers at the store till I decided she couldn't come here anymore. That meant penning her up and I hated doing that, seemed like putting her in jail. I took her wherever I could. Even let her ride in the car and spread hair all over. Sitting there on the front seat holding her head like she did she looked....well regal.

A good looking dog with good lines. Bred and built to run, and with a spirit to match. And my god that dog could run. Each one mile walk to me was a ten mile run to her, criss-crossing in front of me, that nose going ninety miles an hour. Then disappearing and me wondering where the heck she was and five minutes later her barreling in from a completely unexpected direction, tearing by me like she knew exactly where I was all the time. Sometimes she didn't know if her name was Lady or Honey as I called her both.

Last Sunday I decided that we would go to Price to watch the entrances in the Great American Auto Race come through. I wanted to take Lady but Marie didn't think it was a good idea so we penned her up and headed out. After seeing the cars at Price I decided to drive on to Green River just to look around. It was late by the time we returned home. I felt bad about penning Lady up all day so asked Marie if we could take her for a walk, so off we went. When we got to the county road I wasn't concerned about cars as she always seemed careful around ours. We followed the road for a ways and I mentioned to Marie that I wish I could run like that. Lady didn't stay on the road much. She caught a scent and stood up on her hind legs and spun around. Beautiful and graceful she was and I admired her. Like a butterfly floating along pirouetting. She jumped a rabbit and that kept her busy for a bit. Marie mentioned that on her upcoming birthday we should weigh her again.

We turned off the road into the cedars along the banks overlooking the Strawberry River. Four or Five hundred feet down and dangerously steep. We trapped ourselves and had to backtrack. I kept calling Lady back, she would get to close to the edge. Went by the oil well location and stopped to speak to a neighbor we seldom see. He had just returned from Oregon and was preparing for a trip to the old country. We headed home and had to cross the county road again. Lady crossed first, a truck came down the road, waved at us. Don't think he knew what had hit his truck, but it was Lady running fast. On the scent of a rabbit or just trying to get back to us? She yelped and tumbled to our side of the road, I knew she was hit hard. I held her in my arms for a few minutes saying I was sorry. Marie stayed with her while I walked up to the house for the car. She died before I returned.

O' but for the recklessness of youth, great adventures abounded. Yes, on my birthday. 6-30-91 putting her in her grave was hard, I cried then and for much of the night. Yes, Lady was in ways a pain in the butt but she was a class act and I'll miss her. Your a free spirit now Lady. Run honey, run.

Lucky Me

A man is at the dentist's for a check-up. As the dentist leans over, he asks, "So I see you had oral sex this morning?"

"How did you know?" asks the man, embarrassed but also amazed at his dentist's perception. "Was it the smell on my breath?"
"No," says the dentist.
"Well, did you see a pubic hair caught in my teeth?" asks the man.
"No," says the dentist.

"Well, what then? How did you know?" asks the man, losing patience.
The dentist says, "There's a little bit of shit on the end of your nose."

Lucky me
When we went to the drag races in Forks Sunday we went in Rick’s Mercedes, don’t be impressed, it is a cheap and older 86 model, he got it for twenty-five hundred bucks. We are thinking of putting some kind of a V-6 in it. But I did drive it there and back and I did like how it rode and drove.

So I left my pickup at home, with the windows rolled up all the way. It was such a nice sunny day that it got pretty warm in it. When I buy a carton of cigarettes they give me a free lighter, I don’t use them, just put them in the glove box or the ashtray with the quarters that I keep there and give them to others if they need one.

So it got warm enough in there that one of them built up too much pressure and blew up. Blew a couple of other lighters and some quarters out of the tray. Good thing there wasn’t a spark at the same time, it might have made it very interesting for a while, my pickup might have been a crispy critter by the time someone noticed it and got the fire department there.

To Invent
To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk. - Thomas A. Edison
That’s me, I have a good imagination and a pile of junk, and a forty-year collection of tools and equipment. I’ve done some inventing in the past, but never seem to find to do it since moving here. Well, I did make a really cool 35 speed three wheel recumbent bike a few years back, but that is all. I’ve made a few little things to improve my life, or allow me to live cheaper, but I would like to get back to working on some of my alternate power designs and ideas.

An inventor is simply a fellow who doesn't take his education too seriously. - Charles F. Kettering

This is true, I’ve never taken my formal education to seriously, even though some of it has been pretty useful to me. But the most important education I get is what I get daily through experiences and observations.

The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from animals. - Sir William Osler

William should have said that the evolving God is interesting in making medicines in order to improve that which is part of him/her seeing as the original design is flawed in ways.

It's Monday

Stupid bumper sticker: What’s our oil doing under their soil?
Interesting bumper sticker: If you’re going to be riding my ass, you had better be pulling my hair.

A man I know sent me a story that he thought should be important to me. But it’s really just one of his little clouds of Buddhist bullshit. First the story, then my reply back to him.

Bill, I ran across this cute story this a.m.:
"A self-important gnat, having raised his family for some years in the ear of an elephant, finally decided to move. Shouting at the top of his tiny lungs, he informed the elephant of what was to him a momentous decision. The elephant, having up to now no knowledge of the gnat's existence, made no reply, not wishing to hurt the feelings of his small and insignificant visitor."

My reply:
The gnat can always move on to where it is recognized and acknowledged and loved, because that is all it wants in the first place. And the elephant can stay lonely because of the lost of what could have been a friend because it thought it was more important than the gnat.... :-) I've learned that, move on, and I've acquired a lot of friends now, more than I have time to visit. BBC

I’m not going too allow a man that walks around everywhere with a black cloud over his head and few friends rain on my parade with his dark Buddhist bullshit.

I had a wonderful week-end, the best week-end I’ve had in some time. Performing the marriage for Bryan and Karma on Saturday and sharing love with others put me in a great frame of mind. Then I spent an hour or so with Char and Rod, he is so funny and we really enjoy being around each other, too bad that he is working out of town all week and we only see each other on week-ends. But maybe that is enough, too much of a good thing may become an old thing.

Yesterday I went to the drags in Forks with Rick and Sharon, it was relaxing and interesting even though I’m not really a drags fan, being an old circle tracker racer. What bothers me about any racing these days is all the pollution.

Here is an interesting news item, and I mostly agree with it. It sure met a lot to the disabled and troubled couple I married on Saturday.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Lonely? Feeling low? Try taking a walk -- down the aisle. Getting married enhances mental health, especially if you're depressed, according to a new U.S. study.
The benefits of marriage for the depressed are particularly dramatic, a finding that surprised the professor-student team behind the study.

"We actually found the opposite of what we expected," said Adrianne Frech, a PhD sociology student at Ohio State University who conducted the study with Kristi Williams, an assistant professor of sociology.

They expected to find that one spouse's depression weighed too much on the marriage, but "just mattering to someone else can help alleviate symptoms of depression," Frech said.

Frech will present their findings at the American Sociological Association's annual meeting in Montreal on Sunday.

The researchers used a 3,066 person sample that measured symptoms of depression -- such as an inability to sleep, or persistent sadness -- in the same people both before and after their first marriage.

They found that depressed people experienced a much more extreme decrease in the incidence of those symptoms.

"Depressed people may be just especially in need of the intimacy, the emotional closeness and the social support that marriage can provide ... if you start out happy, you don't have as far to go," Williams said.

On the other hand, if you're not depressed, marriage could have the opposite effect, Frech said.
People who were happy before getting married and end up in a marriage plagued by distance or conflict -- qualities associated with a depressed spouse -- might be better off single.

"It seems right to say that people who are not depressed are at risk, that if they marry a depressed person this could be a bad deal for them," Frech said.

While that was interesting, and while I do get depressed at times because of many of the stupid things on this planet, and the fact that I haven’t found the right woman, it doesn’t mean that I’m depressed all the time. The right woman would of course put me in a better frame of mind but these gals that are in the Insane Chicks Society just are not going to be able to help me with that.
Have a good day everyone. BBC

Tied In Knots

I haven’t heard from the president of the local chapter of the Insane Chicks Society for a while now. Good, it’s better for my mental health. Telling her that I loved her just freaked her out. She didn’t understand my statement that I loved her before I met her, that I could always love her more, but that I would never love her less, than a one.

She was at the peace rally yesterday, and did come over by where I was, as if she was going to talk to me. I was away from most of the others so that my sign of Honk For Peace would be more easily seen. But I was busy talking to another lady and she soon wandered away.

The Journey Of Release: Tied In Knots
When we become overwhelmed and things are not going as planned, it is natural to hold tighter to our goals and try to force things to go our way. In the process, we tie ourselves in knots, tensing our shoulders, jaws, and muscles throughout our bodies. Our mind tells us that this is how to get a firmer grip on a situation that feels out of control, but as we create knots in our bodies we are blocking the flow of our energy, exhausting ourselves by exerting more effort yet accomplishing less. At these times, though it may seem counterintuitive, our higher selves know it's better to let go.

This may not be quite as easy as it sounds. After the relief of our first decision to release, if we allow questions about how to get everything done to start again, the knots will be back before we know it. So we need to be aware that this is a process to breathe through. First, we need to let go of our idea of what the perfect outcome should be, and allow that the intelligence that drives the universe knows better than we do how everything fits together for the highest good. Then we might have to release our imagined consequences and realize that, in most cases, the worst that could happen really isn't that bad. We may need to remember how to relax, first by taking deep breaths, then by meditating, and then perhaps seeking help from a loved one, massage therapist, or energy healer to clear the underlying knots.

We can ease our mental stress by prioritizing what we truly want to accomplish, and then delegating the rest to someone who has more enthusiasm for those things. When we relax and let life's energy flow through our minds, bodies, spirits, and lives, we will find that we can accomplish more with less effort and feel good doing it. We don't have to tie ourselves in knots. Instead, we can let the ribbons of our energy unfurl to gracefully direct us through life's abundant flow.

I let it go with her, and feel better because of it. She is into that control stuff but I’m not. BBC

Thought: Don't talk unless you can improve the silence. Hum, well I have opinions and I think that others are entitled to them. I’m not saying I’m always right, just always thinking differently than others. And like I always say "If you can’t change your mind, are you sure you still have one?"

I had a wonderful day yesterday, weddings are always fun to do. Today I’m going to the drag races in Forks. I gotta run and check another blogs and see what Badtux & ol’ three boobs are up to. And of course Scott, who appears to be afraid of his wife’s big hands. LOL. Have a good day all. BBC

Wedding day

This is going to be a wonderful day. Because I’m performing a wedding today. It’s one of the most enjoyable things I do on this planet. Yep, it’s going to be a fun day. Yahoo !!

Just be yourself
I have a sign on my wall right by the door, it says. "Just be yourself". If others can't handle it I can't help that. All my best friends are as weird as I am and we have a lot of fun.

Church camp
Years ago, my Christian wife, the one with three brain cells and one occasionally getting stuck to the side of her skull wall, decided to send the kids to church camp. My son learned a neat song there.

My peters got a skeeter on it, whack it off.
My peters got a skeeter on it, whack it off.
There’s a dozen on my cousin, I can hear those fuckers buzzin.
My peters got a skeeter on it, whack it off.
(That’s all I recall of it)

And as I hear it, he taught a fifteen year old girl there a few things. And my three-celled wife thought it was terrible that I supported my daughter going on birth control, but she lost hers at fifteen also. No, not to my son.

Stealth Kittens

Spotted on a man’s shirt last evening." I’m aging like fine wine. I’m getting complex and fruity."

These kittens, I sure enjoy them, they can move so fast and silently. They can zip in and out of the door and I don’t even notice it unless I’m looking down. I don’t smoke in my place, I open the door and stand in the doorway, or step out and close the door. At floor level it seems like a freeway of Stealth kittens.

It’s a dump
The nicest way to describe my place is to say that it is a dump, I never seem to find the time to organize it better. Well, there was a lot of crap here when I acquired the property but I guess that isn’t any excuse, is it? I don’t have a honey-do list so there isn’t much incentive to get it better looking for someone else. This is a survivalists place.

There are various little storage sheds and trailers full of things I might need to get by if need be. Aside from the building on the back of the property there are two trailers used for storage, an old homemade pickup camper used for storage, another pickup camper, and two little storage buildings. Not to mention a pile of old pallets that where here when I moved here, I really must get rid of them.

And the camp trailer I just bought, my eighteen-foot boat, and all kind of other things just sitting out in the yard. And it’s kind of a movement center, things flow to me, I find them other homes rather than see them go to the landfill. I really should organize it better though.

On the plus side, everything is paid for so it can’t be taken away from me if times do get hard. And even if they don’t, it frees up my money to do other things with it as I like. I always have more money coming in than I have going out so that is a good thing. And even though I retired last year there are always people calling me to do things for them because I have so many skills and a forty-year collection of tools, I’m getting better at saying no though. I just don’t need the money.

My computer is custom made, two CD drives, two hard drives, etc. So what does your computer say when you fire it up? Mine says, "Hey Billy, lets rock and roll." When I shut it down it says "No Billy, No." Not that it has anything to do with the computer, you can tell your computer to say anything you like for all of the sound events on it, I just made my own sound files and use them. Years ago, long enough ago that I can’t recall how I did it, I made my own recording program so that the files would be more compact than the current programs that where in use. Now there are programs that do the same thing.

Humor is needed on this planet, but I don’t see it ever fixing the world, it’s just a way to laugh things off. Scott Adam’s uses a lot of humor on his blog, fun, but it isn’t going to fix the world.

Buddhist philosophy: "Why kill your enemy? They will die soon anyway." Interesting philosophy, but they don’t seem to follow it. Predominately Buddhist country’s have plenty of fighting going on in them.

Infidels, just who are they? Doesn’t either side think that it’s the other side that are the infidels? So if we are to kill all the infidels wouldn’t we have to kill off both sides? About three-quarters of the people on this planet in fact. That should eliminate pretty much all Religions, and then God Billy and God MemBeth, and all the other Gods and Goddess’s might have some peace here.

Al Gore
Gore isn't quite as green as he's led the world to believe.
If Al Gore is the world's role model for ecology, the planet is doomed. Public records reveal that as Gore lectures Americans on excessive consumption, he and his wife Tipper live in two properties: a 10,000-square-foot, 20-room, eight-bathroom home in Nashville, and a 4,000-square-foot home in Arlington, Va. (He also has a third home in Carthage, Tenn.) For someone rallying the planet to pursue a path of extreme personal sacrifice, Gore requires little from himself. (And to think that my whole property is 75 X 100, he wouldn’t even visit me.)

But according to public records, there is no evidence that Gore has signed up to use green energy in either of his large residences. When contacted Wednesday, Gore's office confirmed as much but said the Gores were looking into making the switch at both homes. Talk about inconvenient truths.

Humanity might be "sitting on a ticking time bomb," but Gore's home in Carthage is sitting on a zinc mine. Gore receives $20,000 a year in royalties from Pasminco Zinc, which operates a zinc concession on his property. Tennessee has cited the company for adding large quantities of barium, iron and zinc to the nearby Caney Fork River.

The issue here is not simply Gore's hypocrisy; it's a question of credibility. If he genuinely believes the apocalyptic vision he has put forth and calls for radical changes in the way other people live, why hasn't he made any radical change in his life? Giving up the zinc mine or one of his homes is not asking much, given that he wants the rest of us to radically change our lives.

Sigh, Al Gore, another disappointment.

The spider & the fly

The spider & the fly
For a few days I had noticed a small spider and its web just outside of my door. I tend to leave spiders that live outside alone as they keep other bugs down. I live with the creed that everything here has a chance to a right to an existence here, just not in my space, and surely not in my face. So if a spider gets in my inside space I will remove it from its existence. I also believe that you have no right killing something unless you love it, so I say something like "I love you little spider, have a nice life wherever you are going next" *squish* Goddess (mother nature) doesn’t seem to mind that I do that so I will continue to do so.

Anyway, I went out yesterday morning and there was a fly trapped on the spiders web and they where really fighting it out. The web was pretty much tore up and the spider being only about one third the size of the fly was trying to eat it alive. The fly was trying to get away and the two of them where spinning around like crazy, it was interesting to watch for a few minutes. I hope the spider won and got a nice meal.

Thank me later
There is now one woman added to the list of women that isn’t going to be having anything to do with men for some time, if ever. It’s okay, unless she changes she isn’t of any use to good men. Unless of course if you are a man looking for a woman that thinks love is just another business that needs to be taken care of and you don’t care if your hand gets held. It’s okay guys, you can thank me later.

On her blog, Sharona says that she started becoming weird at about fifteen. I didn't start becoming strange until in my fifty's, I must be a slow learner. But weird is more interesting than all those boring yo-yo's out there. All of my best friends are weird in one way or the other, and we have the most fun together. It’s okay, Einstein was weird also, we are in good company.

Hey, who owns this place?
Almost every time I open a door there is a cat or two either leaving or coming in, or both. I guess I’m just a doorman here. Isn’t that how cats view life? We are just here to serve them. The most loving one I have named Honey. She has an appointment at the vets on the 22nd to be spayed and get her shots and such. The other four will have to go too Peninsula Friends of Animals soon. I’ll miss them but they have to go. One cat and my Aloe Vera plants are about the only live things I want to be responsible for. Well, my apple tree, but that monster takes care of itself and just mocks me every time I trim it back and comes back bigger than ever.

My need to hear from others
Most of my friends are pretty good about sending me emails, even if they are just jokes, it’s how we let each other know that we are thinking of each other. If I don’t get email from them for a while it drives me nuts and I end up pestering them. One lady that I’ve known since moving here, and there has been a few bumps in our relationship over the years, fails to write at times, so I get on her. And then she shapes up for a while. :-) But she isn’t much of an email person, preferring to visit in person. Only I don’t get that way very often, and sometimes her husband is cranky (jealous of our bond), and I don’t like to be around cranky people.

Happy Birthday Rick
I stopped into Rick’s shop yesterday about five and it was his birthday. He has hit the big 50. That’s about twenty years longer than he expected to live. The fridge was stocked with beer and Earl brought him a jug of Black Velvet, aged eight years. He sure was in a good mood, even though he was talking about going out in a body bag. He’s weird, he just talks that way.

I didn’t stay to party with them, just had two beers and went home. But before I left he gave me the key to a neat Honda 150 scooter that I’ve been eyeballing and thinking of buying from him. Said to drive it for a few weeks and then if I wanted it I could pay him a hundred a month until it’s paid for. At eighty miles per gallon it’s pretty tempting.

My good deed yesterday was helping a young man and his girlfriend move to their new apartment and start their young lives together with each other. I wish them luck with that and am looking forward to marrying them some day. What good deed did you do yesterday?

Stuff is occurring to me

The record for the longest lasting soap bubble is 341 days. Warm bubble soap works better.

Weird, I have slept alone for so many years that it was a bit disconcerting to be woke up at four AM with a cat sniffing my face.

The Get Fuzzy cartoon is still just too funny. What, shallow? – High definitions. Ha, ha, ha.

Hold on, stuff is occurring to me. I’m just an old country hick. Hum, when I made this note I knew what I was going to write about later, now I forget what it was. That’s it, we forget so fast, that is why we are always in wars and killing each other, spiritual brothers and sisters. Really, that is why history keeps repeating itself. Because we forget so fast, just take a bit of time to look through your computer. There are files on it that you put there less than…….

When I opened the door the first thing this morning the friendliest kitten zipped into my room, while I’m trying to type the little squirt keeps jumping on my lap for some loving, and trying to get on my keyboard. So I pet her for a minute and put her down, that lasts for about ten seconds and she jumps right back on my lap again. That has happened about ten times now, so I just put her out with the other kittens.

Sigh…… To have a woman like that, I would forget the writing and take her to bed. At least for a walk, or dancing.

Now, where was I? Oh…… There are files on it that you put there less than a year ago that you don’t remember. Really, take a bit of time to look through it and you will see what I mean. I have many documents I have wrote, that need more work or tweaking on, that I haven’t looked at for two or three years. I have cartoon’s I’ve saved, pictures, graphics, funny things, heart lifting things, emails I really should read again for the reminder that I really do have some very special friends.

And what do I do? I forget them and keep looking for new news and things. Hell, I have a whole world of love on my computer, I’ve been saving it for years, through three computers now.

When I give up on looking for ‘her’, and accept that she isn’t going to show up, I can just spend the rest of my life looking through my computer and finish all these documents. There is a whole book here, except for the last chapter.

I figure that is why we have all this greed and wars. We forget that what we need is right here, we have tucked it away and forgotten it and moved on looking for more, it causes problems. That and the fact that the women on this planet won’t go thump their men and boys on the head and tell them that they can’t go fight each other. Men are idiots, that is what the idiots do.

Cheap roof
Last fall I added a section behind an old homemade camper that was on my property when I moved here so I could store a lot of lumber and plywood that was given to me after a remodel job. It’s about 8 X 11 feet and I just put a cheap plastic tarp over the top to keep the rain out, saying that I would put a roof on it later. I’m finely getting around to that.

But I want something cheap and easy, so I’m doing it like they did in the old days when they painted canvas on a roof. I bought three sheets of 7/16" OSB ($27.60) and installed it on the truss’s, instead of using canvas I’m going to use that fiberglass cloth that they use in landscaping to keep the weeds from coming up. It is stronger and cheaper, I got a 220 foot roll of it for about thirty bucks at Costco. Will only use 24 feet of it, but I have other uses for the rest of it. With a coat of fresh paint once in a while it will last for years, until I die. Maybe until the next owner dies.

But this is commercial property, when I die everything here will be broke up and hauled to a dump and they will build another frigging business here. There are only three homes left on this block, making it pretty quite for the most part.

I can’t do that anymore, run. I was running across the street Saturday and something in my right knee popped, the next morning it was swelled up and very sore so now I’m nursing it. But it’s doing fine and will be back to normal (what ever in the hell normal is) soon so I can hike to the hot springs again.

Who, in the end, is more evil -- the man who sends others to die for his Prophet, or the man who sends others to die for his Profit?

Gotta run, have a good day all, and remember, all you have is all you need. Just take a deep breath and sit back and reflect on it and enjoy it. It’s right there in all those boxes you haven’t looked into for years. Or sitting on the couch watching TV because you are fucking around on your computer. So why don’t you just get up and go over and hug the little idiot? And if you don’t have a mate, well, I feel for you. I suppose that he/she is somewhere else fucking around on a computer and wondering where in the hell you are. LOL

What is your biggest fault/weakness? I figure that mine is smoking, I frigging hate smoking. I need to pop a cop in the nose and get ten days in jail, they have a great stop smoking program there. BBC

Two Idiots

Everyday I live with fear but occasionally I leave her and go drag racing.

(On front of a young ladies shirt, with a nice rack) Admit it: You’d go to jail for this.

(Another ladies shirt, with a picture of a spider on it) We could mate but then I’d have to kill you.

(Another ladies shirt) Goal of a Bitch. To dominate, control and destroy a mans Finances, Mental Health, Self Esteem and any hope for happiness.

(Another ladies shirt) Not everything is flat in Florida.

Two idiots
Our math system does not apply to some things. For example, two idiots working together adds up to three idiots. I went for a walk at eight the evening before last and stopped by John’s place to BS a little. John’s place is, well, different, it’s just a garage full of old cars and a bunch of crap, mostly car crap. They live in an old motor home and outside a lot, but they are peaceful people.
There was two guys (equals three) fixing to put new u joints in a driveshaft, they where trying to figure out which end of the drive shaft was the front, not having paid any attention when they took it apart. And they where trying to figure out how to install the new u joints. After watching them fuck around discussing things for fifteen minutes I sat on a chair and John handed me a beer and I talked them through it, the offset grease zert hole must face the shaft, line up both joints so that the grease zerts are in the same position, install the caps carefully so that a needle bearing doesn’t slip out of place, drive the first cap in past it’s position before installing the second cap to assist lining it up and not losing a needle, etc, etc.

They know that I was a master mechanic for many years so they where thankful for the advice, no problem, I love to sit around telling idiots what to do. A breakaway from the insane chick
herd wandered through but I didn’t pay any attention to her.

Speaking of insane chicks, I went to the peace protest (why do we protest peace?) Saturday and was ten minutes early, so at first it was just me and a lady sitting there on a bench talking to each other while we waited for others too show up. She had new batteries to put in her radio and asked me if I had a pocketknife, sure, I never go anywhere without a knife, ink pens and a lighter. While I’m cutting open the package the batteries were in I tell her about my neat flashlight that you just crank to charge up.

Then we start talking about the wars and all the stupid things going on and being done. That can get people emotional pretty fast, even when they are in agreement, and soon I said "Don’t get me started" and touched her on the arm. She went fucking ballistic, jumped up and screamed "Don’t touch me, men are always doing that." Holy shit, all I did was touch her, I touch lots of people when I’m talking to them, it’s a spiritual thing to me.

I apologized but she wasn’t accepting it, just said something snotty, so I apologized again, and got something snotty again. I said something else trying to explain that to me it’s just a spiritual thing, and I got another snotty reply. By then it was clear that she wanted the last word so I said "If you want the last word just say it." She just stomped off.

For the rest of the protest I avoided her like the plague, and just talked to the warmer chicks, if she came over by me I moved away, you never know what might set off a chick that clearly has issues with men and I didn’t want to deal with it. Besides, this is not a chick that men would be interested in touching in any personal way anyway. She should just get over herself and her issues with them.

In defense of the spoiled Catholic brat I mentioned in yesterdays post, I do want to point out that she was a hand holder and great hugger, even asked for them instead of waiting for them. And liked having her hair brushed, and that was a very enjoyable part of that experience. I have some nice memories from it, but she hasn’t remarried in thirty years and is still using her ex husband. Bummer, because we really did have some beautiful times for almost two weeks.

I’m wondering if there is a website where us guy’s can name these ladies and their last known locations so that other guys can avoid them. If they can’t get dates anymore maybe they will start getting the help they need in order to have decent relationships instead of blaming it all on the men.

Free to a good home. Thirty empty Peppermint Schnapps bottles. Some with the caps missing as when a friend or two shows up you just toss the cap away and enjoy the contents.

A beautiful bedspread
Helen, the old lady next door that I look after (and one of the coolest ladies on this planet), had this really neat bedspread that she wanted put on her couch, it had old sailing ships on it, and two curtains to match. So I bought her a flowered spread that she liked better and she gave them to me. I will use them in the camp trailer I’m going to fix up seeing as I finely got a title transfer into my name on it today. There where two names on the title, one had died, it took a death certificate to clean it up.

Speaking of bedspreads, the one on my bed is a very special hand made one, made by a dear lady that knows me very well. It has a copy (hand made of course) of the boat I owned for years on it, my zodiac sign, other nautical and sea life symbols, and it’s very nice to sleep under it. What a special lady she is to have made it for me.
