Remembering September is Self Promotion Month
Keeping in mind September is Self Promotion Month I have been 'promoting' this and her sister Blog a bit more and have gained a number of new readers to an already good core readership.
Now I have to keep it up don't I?
If you have just found this Blog or her sister Blog stick around you might learn something, maybe, maybe not, but you will laugh I swear it.

Which Historical Lunatic Are You?
Sometimes those internet 'tests' are fun to take and when I ran across one that asked "Which historical lunatic are You!", I had to take it.
The test concluded I was Joshua Abraham Norton, the First and Only Emperor of the United States.
Which isn't all that bad, he was a successful man who lost it all but when he died 30,000 people formed a two mile long funeral procession to say goodbye to a friend to kings and paupers alike.
I like the successful part and the friend to kings and paupers thing; the losing it all part isn't on my 'favorites' list, but if 30,000 people showed up to my funeral losing it all might just well be worth it.

Chilies For Me
I have always preferred hot chilies - the hotter the better.
I always knew they were good for your heart and blood but now they are proven to help lessen the chance of developing prostate cancer and reducing prostate cancer cells should one already suffer from the disease.
Capsaicin the chemical in peppers or chilies that make them 'hot' does the number on the cancer cells already there and prevents new ones from forming - it is also the chemical used in muscle creams and rubs found over the counter in any store in America.
The moral of this is:
Men who prefer their chilies are less likely to be sick generally or develop heart and prostate problems than their less 'manly' brethren are.
Even My "Opponents" Are Singing Praises
Sounding the trumpet again!
Some of the people on other forums who usually are at loggerheads with me - mainly over politics - are 'singing' my praises for this and her sister Blog ... even to the point of being complimentary and polite (in private messages of course, they don't want to put a crack in their personal 'public' personas, no they do not).
So I might be winning them over to the Light after all and they are joining my 'friends' from across the geo-political-religious spectrum ... all it takes in a working brain and the ability and willingness to use it - something some are unfortunately unwilling and/or incapable of doing.
For Starters
Got out of bed this morning in a Led Zepplin kind of mood.
Got into bed last night in a Ramones kind of mood.
Something is up, but I can't put my finger on it.

Pic-Line May Be Out
We were informed today that the Pic-Line in the Mrs., arm may come out next Monday - she is responding to the antibiotics really well.
That will be a good thing - not to sound selfish, but, I haven't slept any length of time since the Sunday before Labor Day worrying about her and I am bone ass tired.
The first few days in the hospital I didn't sleep at all - of course neither did she until the morphine they gave her kicked in and for the last few days at home she has been sleeping like a baby.

"J" takes after papa.
My grandson "J" called me tonight to let me know his football team played a piss poor game but still won 15-14. He is a chip off the old block, he isn't satisfied with a less than perfect game.
He switched from middle linebacker to wide receiver this season which makes him a deadly threat to opposing defenses - he plays like a middle linebacker as a wide receiver ... with total abandon ... what's more he catches anything within ten feet of him and he is faster than greased lightning in a can.
I was somewhat let down when said he wanted to switch because he had originally wanted to play the same position his papa played, that's why he played the middle linebacker position, but when I saw him still playing 'linebacker-like', I knew he was just like his papa - I should have known he'd switch to one he liked because he is a striker for the soccer team while I was a goalie and he has always said he wanted to be like me when he grew up .... and I'll be damned if he isn't.
Of course he was a tad undersized for linebacker he is only 13 and 5'4' @ 90lbs (at his age I was 6' and 190lbs) but he plays like he was a 6'3" 295lbs bruiser and with his speed, quickness when he is a 6'3" bruiser look out.
Now if his quarterback can learn to throw better and deeper ...

Sending A Message?
Two major earthquakes in as many days for Indonesia ... You think Ma Nature is trying to tell us something or what? Gaia is pretty tired of and pissed off at being dumped on by man, she is.

Face of the New Liberals
Look into the face of a New Liberal.
Jack Cafferty as forever been a conservative type but listen to him this days and he is sounding more and more like a Liberal sort.
How is such a transformation possible you ask?!
The shrub and the cabal. The answer is that simple, the shrub and cabal.
Katydids
Now there's something you don't see everyday ... neon colored Katydids.The kicker is they are real and alive in the picture and not some plastic kid's toys.
Umberto Promises Rain
Tropical Storm Umberto promises to bring rain to an already rain-soaked state - Texas, while we in the Carolinas haven't seen enough rain to even remember what it looks and feels like since April.
My floating dock is now a hanging dock the lake is so low because of the drought.
Tropical Storm Gabriella didn't so much as raise a cloud in the skies here when she came ashore the other day.
While it was good to dodge a harsh storm during hurricane season, damn it we need the rain.
Damn those greedy Texans!
Cyberstalkers
Lordy, lordy, lordy, it seems I have a 'cyberstalker' or 'stalkers' on another forum and they are talking out of school about me.
What will I do?!
Well right now I am sitting down shortly to a roast turkey dinner with all the trimmings and after that I quite possibly will go to sleep with a full belly. I know it's not that time yet, but, hey, I cooked so I'm going to eat it.
Oh, back to the 'cyberstalking', maybe I'll just belch and be done with it. I mean if some one is so insecure and immature as that they are of no consequence and as such beneath notice - which is all they crave anyway ... notice ... deny them that and they go away, they may go away mad but they go away.
