Bloviation?

Bloviation is to speak bombastically at length in a pompous self-aggrandizing way and it is considered slang. Wow, what a mouthful, huh? But I bet you all knew what it meant, since you are all brilliant, right?
The reason the word fascinated me so was due to one of my Facebook friends using it on my wall and I was curious about what it meant since I had never heard of it before and you know me with my occasional paranoia too and love of all words new or old, and this is what she actually said: “I feel liberated that I will no longer be subjected to "Bloviation" on my own wall. :) Some people think it's their way or no way, I guess”. PS: I checked and she was talking about someone else, not me…WHEW! Close call…ouch!

And below is additional info from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
“BLOVIATION is a style of empty, pompous (again), POLITICAL SPEECH which originated in Ohio and was used by US President, Warren G. Harding who described it as "the art of speaking for as long as the occasion warrants, and saying nothing". The verb to bloviate is the act of creating bloviation.”
Now I am worried, very worried it is not unlike what I do here nightly or even what Jerry Seinfeld did all those years on his TV show; some do say…wait a minute he said that about his own show and so have I about this blog, LOL and so no harm no foul we know that we just go on and on and on and on and it is a free country and if you don’t want to be subjected to this form of tedium and redundancy nightly than you don’t have to be!
G-d, don’t you just love America? HA!
Oh, wait a minute… I am NOT running for any political office and didn’t the above definition above say, “political speech’? The only thing I have in common with a political candidate is that I can say an awful lot about absolutely nothing and I can be extremely long winded, but I ask you folks…isn’t it fun when I do it? I do know they aren’t as much fun as this, hmm?
Moving on…
Hubby did see a cardiologist yesterday and he was given the results of his most recent tests and we are proud to announce that he passed his last week ones with not too many problems and so the doctors are still trying to solve the mystery of his fluctuating hypertension. Still high in the morning and better throughout the rest of the day with his medication kicking in and this afternoon he had a delivery of a test system for sleep apnea that will be an overnight thing.
Copy and paste either of these sites for more info: (http://my.clevelandclinic.org/disorders/Sleep_Apnea/hic_Sleep_Apnea.aspx) (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/sleep-apnea/DS00148)
It was delivered this afternoon and will be picked up tomorrow morning by the company providing the test which is Lincare and even if Hubby did not have insurance it would only be a $35 test to find out if you have this most serious disease that your breathing could stop in your sleep and yes your oxygen levels would be diminished and you could have a stroke or die or some other horrible thing, I think this could happen, but read those sites I made available to get the reliable scoop on what’s what, OK?…The tester goes on your pointer finger overnight a clip type thing like when they check your oxygen levels in the hospital, its company is IDS (which stands for: instant diagnostic systems) and it is an oximeter, what a logical name, huh? And he is to wear it overnight until the man picks it up tomorrow morning around ten A.M.
On this night of extreme wetness here in this the, SUNSHINE STATE, yep that’s us, FLORIDA, but boy we couldn’t be happier with this rain since we really needed it, and we got it…And please accept my thanks to those Seminoles who contributed their expertise to the rain happening here, I knew we could count on you! Kidding! And again nothing meant to be insulting but it does seem amazing after I requested their help with our severe drought, huh? It’s a MIRACLE if it wasn’t them…
Allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you to kindly count all those blessings that you have in your hearts and share those overages and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
