Do you remember Ben Sick and Misty Bus from school? Neither do I, but there they are in my sixth grade year book. It’s an old joke to show how some people are perpetually missing their year book picture. Which reminds me that I need to find my yearbooks so I know who in the hell is trying to be my friend on Facebook. But I digress this article is not about Facebook (but I do need to go into that someday) or yearbooks or even school. This is about Healthcare.
Yes, I know I have already done this blog, but if Ann Coulter (seriously funny) can do several blogs so can I. I dare you to shut me down you scary White House communists Keep reading →

I have to apologize that I have not been writing for a while. I have been sick and sleeping was just more important to me. Today I am presenting you with my graduate class journal entry for this week just so you know what else I have been up to. I have changed references to my professor so you are not too lost.
Journal Weekend 2
We started the weekend with a lecture on preservation technologies and the question of reversibility. If we have certain technologies at our disposal at this time do we need to use them? Keep reading →

Welcome class to your one night course in buying a house. Anyone who is here for the “Joy of Sex for Over Sixties” that class has moved across the hall. Okay, so you are all here interested in learning the correct manner in buying a house. We will be going over the aesthetics of house buying which is basically “What do you want to buy?”
First of all you may want to determine what kind of house you want to buy. Do you want to purchase a new house or a previously loved Keep reading →

This summer was great. Not too hot and well not even hotter. Although the meteorologists stated that the summer was average it felt a little cooler (global warming). The mosquitoes even seemed to be cooperating and didn’t make the scene until August. That is also when I found out that someone had opened the canal gates and flooded the yard behind ours.
Yes, it is unbelievable in this day and age of West Nile virus that some people still think that standing water is a good idea. But the people who have the water rights (and they paid a good sum for it fifty years ago) are near Keep reading →

I was on Facebook last catching up with my cousin in Britain. Last we talked he was scheduled to have surgery to repair a narrowed artery in his head. This symptom is similar to that of his father who experienced a devastating stroke in his forties that kept him unable to properly care for himself for approximately twenty years before passing away. My cousin was scared because he did not want the same thing to happen to him.
Being on Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) I was surprised that the surgery was scheduled in such a timely manner of ten weeks. However, I was shocked and none too surprised that his doctors have now determined that his narrow artery is not pressing enough for surgery. Instead he told me that he is to have a checkup every six months (to see if he is still alive I presume). Keep reading →

After an assortment of animals, from fish to ducks and budgies to bunnies and a variety of cats and dogs, I have decided that Garfield was right all along. However, if you had asked me my opinion on cats and dogs as a child I would have said the complete opposite.
The dog was named Sparky and the cat was named Sammy. Sparky was a puppy, which is always great for a small child, a little less for a father too lazy to house train. Although Sparky was lots of fun and even had a penchant for blowing bubbles in my paddle pool he was a little too much for our small family. The cat was completely opposite experience.
Sammy was the Siamese cat from HELL! Keep reading →

This recent incident with the Harvard Professor, Henry Louis Gates Jr., speaks volumes for the conduct of police in the United States of America. Apparently if you are a black man you should never lose your door key or for that matter make sure all your neighbors know exactly who you are. Then again if that neighbor was so nosey she should have bloody well known that the nice professor lived there.
The hysterical part of the whole thing is that Professor Gates was not arrested for breaking into his own house. No, he was arrested for being pissed off that the police showed up at his home, treated him like Keep reading →

Barbara Boxer (D) California. Oops, that is Senator Barbara Boxer (D) California is at it again. In her latest insanity on the intelligence, Senator Boxer has in one fell swoop disgusted all truly native Californians, military veterans and African Americans.* Being white (I mean Caucasian European American) I am not at real liberty to comment on the third position, but I do see how it can piss a person off.
I mean really how does the NAACP really know (and for that matter feel it can speak for all persons of color) the effect of the ‘Cap and Trade’ bill on the average small business owner (and frankly there is no mention of that in the joint resolution of ‘Cap and Trade’ whatsoever)? Oh, that’s right Barbara Keep reading →

On the day of Michael Jackson’s memorial Fox News (Relatives of Soldier Killed in Afghanistan . . .) reported about the aunt of a soldier that died due to wounds suffered from an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) in Afghanistan the same day as Jackson died. The report was due to a letter the aunt wrote to the Washington Post decrying the coverage over Jackson versus her nephew and the other soldiers that died that day. But the sad truth is that soldiers die every day whether they are in the Middle East or on a stateside base.
I was born on a military base and lived eighteen years (of my father’s twenty years service) coming to know how the military works. Once you sign that contract and take that oath of enlistment (or re-enlistment) they own you. Let me say this again THEY OWN YOU. Even if your service time is up, they can Keep reading →

I remember it like it was yesterday. Okay it was yesterday fourteen years ago. My family had just relocated from my mother’s old bedroom at grandma’s house in Sacramento over the past two months to two basement rooms at my grandma’s in Utah (homeless and living with family – joy). It was my first Fourth of July in Utah and not knowing the tradition of sitting on your ass for the world’s most boring (I mean one of America’s Largest parades-They camp out like it’s the Rose Parade or Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade- morons) I stood to watch the festivities in an area devoid of any other people.
Low and behold some cranky old fart parks his deck chair and ass Keep reading →
