What a Frustrating Question

Posted in Uncategorized by

Winter is too cold. Summer is too hot. Fall and spring are just right but the pollen drives me nuts. I chose the wrong part of the country for me to settle in, given my extreme allergies to just about all forms of pollen. I am so grateful to the scientist for developing those antihistamines. Without them I would have to start living on ships.

On the other hand, summer brings swimming and baseball. Fall brings a lot of colorful leaves and the snap of the crisp cold evenings. With winter, I need not fight flies and mosquitos. Spring brings the flowers and the chirping birds.

Now with all that, how in the world am I to make up my mind?

One thing I will say, whatever season is next, I’m always looking forward to it.

Will Old Joe Pardon His Hunter?

Posted in Biden by

To answer this, we need only remember the basics. Disregarding the fact of the father – son relation, let’s remember one important fact. Hunter knows where all the bodies are hidden. I am sure Old Joe knows what will happen should his son spend one day in prison.

Incidentally, I am sure all the Bidden puppeteers are aware that Hunter has a few things to say about them too.

Will Hunter get pardoned? In a word, instantly.

Far Too Little Far Too Late

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Deceit, Elections by

For over 3 years now, Old Joe has had that valve at the south border wide open. Now he’s discovered he might not be elected because of it. So, he’s trying to blame it on the Republicans as they won’t pass his border Bill.

First, it is far too little far too late. His motivation is far too transparent. I am sure that once the election is over, he’ll make sure to open the valves wide open again, win or lose.

Secondly, the bill he wants to pass will only insure the valve will remain wide open, regardless who wins.

For those unaware, that is what is called deceit. It’s doing the one thing when you say you will do something else. The purpose is to gain power at any cost.

More Electric Outlets, Pretty Please

Posted in Uncategorized by

If someone asked me if I could have one wish for my home, I would reply, “More outlets please, and more easily accessed.”

I don’t know what it would cost, but I would have to say at least 3,000 dollars to rewire my home. So, if the house needs to be rewired, may as do it right. All the aluminum would need to come out. If I knew they used aluminum, the house would have remained vacant.

Every place where there is a double outlet, I want four. I no longer have cable. However, when I had AT&T cable, each of the following had to be plugged into an extension chord. The TV, The gateway, the DVD player, and the adapter for the TV. I’m really not sure. I just might have left something out. At any rate, the extension chord was plugged into one side of the double outlet.

Moreover, every time I needed to access one or more plugs, it was no fun. Actually, it was a neusance.

The kitchen has got at least twice as many appliances as outlets and only two are accessible. The outlet for the stove is behind it and the thing keeps coming unplugged. Every time it does, I must pull the stove out. My wife actually likes that. It does gives her a chance to clean behind it.

If I were so fortunate to have a house built for me, I would have far more outlets and they would all be accessible, even if behind the bed or couch. They don’t have to show. Covers could be designed to cover it all. Then they could be flipped out of the way to gain accessed.

My current house was built in the early 70s. It was a different time without computers or fridges with ice makers. I must watch the balance of my load or I’ll trip a breaker. When I used my central air conditioner, it tripped one of the main breakers every few weeks anyway. I had an electrician look at it and he basically said I need to rewire my house, which I already knew.

Here’s a thought right off the top of my head. How about a switch to control 3 or 4 sets of outlets. I would like a switch on each one. that way, if I need to open that individual outlet box, I could turn it off right next to the outlet and connect the ground wire the builder neglected to connect. Also, the switch could double as a circuit breaker as on the modern extension chords. That can’t be that expensive.

ABC 24 This Week

Posted in Abuse of Power, Crime, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, Liberals, Our Legal Systems, Politcal Opinion by

I watched the above show on channel 24, Memphis. The subject of discussion for the the first 15 minutes was the raising of property taxes suggested by the mayor.

First, let me say as I have before, I like the idea. Every time the Memphis city government does something stupid, the value of real estate in Desoto County increases. May I make this short reminder that Desoto County is growing leaps and bounds while Memphis population is shrinking. I might add that Memphis has been losing people to surrounding area almost immediately after the dems established firm control of the city forcing their liberal concepts upon the cityresidents.

Going back to the TV show, all three guests on the show agreed with the mayor. That says, no shouts something about the show. Considering the rebellion of the tax payers in Memphis, I would have to say that it was a very poor representation of the city population.

The Soviets had a word for that kind of journalism. Pravda, Ironically, it is the Russian word for truth. I think maybe the show spoke everything but the truth.

It is the misfortune of Memphis, the benefits for me and my neighbors, and all the surrounding communities.

Hydro Mousse

Posted in Uncategorized by

New idea on how to grow a really nice lawn, maybe perfect.

  1. start out by pouring about 1 to 2 inches of concrete in the area where you want the lawn.
  2. After the concrete is well set, spray some of that Hydro Mousse all over the concrete.
  3. Water regularly.
  4. In a few weeks, you’ll have a nice beautiful green lawn.

You doubt it? You see the advertisement on TV? They grew the stuff on concrete blocks… upside down. Ought to grow even better right side up. The neat part is that there will be no weeds. If there were any, they wouldn’t be able to grow in the concrete.

Sorry. Might be a little expensive.

Do You Like This Idea

Posted in Uncategorized by

Maybe, if you like the idea, if you know the right people or you have enough money, you just might want to try it.  Mind you, I don’t know if it will work.  My wife is always telling me that I think too much.

It just is, I use this shortcut that I borrowed from others.  It makes things easier and faster.  Whenever I get a new trash bag out, I get four.  I put three in the bottom of the trash can and put one in, in the usual way.  That way, next time I take out the trash, I’ll need not go back to the cupboard.  I simply pull one off the bottom of the container.

I would suspect I am not the only one doing this.  Indeed, it is possible that some, when they buy 30 bags, they put all thirty in the bottoms of the container.  It would take a while, but it saves time later.  Moreover, if like me, it saves me chasing down where I put the unused bags.

Then, as my wife says, the gears in my brain keep going.  I thought, why not sell them in stacks instead of in a rolls.  Maybe the stacks could contain 10 or 12 bags.  I don’t know how many would be best.

However, when the bags run out, you just put another stack in.  Well, I suppose you might need to go out and get some more.  Might want to make sure you keep and extra stack or two, maybe three.

Just a dumb idea.  I assure you that it is worth every cent you are paying for it.

Incidentally, the bags would not take up as much space in storage if they are folded.

We All Should Know

Posted in Uncategorized by

However, so very few do. First, common sense. Second, courage. Third honesty. Finally, and most importantly, a good sense of humor. Sometimes, it helps to be able to laugh when the world starts falling down around you. Otherwise, it just might drive a person to madness.

Some might call it madness to laugh in the face of adversity. Then again, we are all entitled to an opinion. Personally, I consider a coping mechanism and I try to use it regularly.
