Amazing, the word of the day…

Today, I was told is Columbus Day, October 8th, when we were kids it was always on October 12th. The other thing that amazed me is that some historical facts that I apparently missed have been left out of my world history class. I briefly remember being taught about the Spanish Inquisition and how horrible it all was, but for some reason I can't remember exactly what happened; considering that was nearly 50 years ago that I was in high school, I don't think that's so terrible. One of my Facebook friends posted something that apparently everyone knew but me that was on CNN opinion and here is the site if you so desire to read what I read: http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/20/opinion/garcia-columbus-jewish/index.html What, you think that I am going to tell you every thing? Actually, it is a fascinating read. Being one of that faith and reading what I did for a short time while reading it there was a swell of pride that started to come over me; but than I was besotted by one concept that disturbed me the most, it was the fact that what we did to the Native Americans at that time and the second thing that bothered me was that if the article is correct and we all know CNN doesn't usually make mistakes, although, it was an opinion piece. Now if Columbus’s ships were taking people to escape religious persecution than why would they do what was done to the Native Americans, basically what had been done to them? I know it's a conundrum of the centuries. I think most all of us realize our feelings have changed over the years about this holiday and are torn on whether or not we should just toss away all the reality of what we know historically happened or do as ‘they’ say think only of the positive parts we have been told about and what we had learned from the first people who lived here before us in our school history books? I'll let you all absorbed that… For I have other more interesting pending ideas to discuss. Earlier today I received an acceptance to become my Facebook friend from of another Australian person and they happen to be in the TV and film industry; I believe now that I have two or three friends in that field. Could it be that I am supposed to introduce them all to one another, I wonder? I did introduce one newbie in the film industry to a seasoned professional and oddly enough I'm still friends on Facebook that is with the seasoned professional, but the newbie unfriended me. I always wonder if it is better to get involved or just let things be as they are. Although, the new gentleman today is also a seasoned professional and perhaps he wouldn't mind meeting another one here in the states, what do you think? Perhaps I'll sleep on it, wouldn't want to rush into anything; not with my record. Moving on… This afternoon I had my neuro appointment and she answered all my questions with the same over the phone results that I got from her nurse before I went in and printed them out for her. And yes, she said again perhaps pain intervention would be good for me, but with corticosteroid medication being injected into my body right now with my known side affect of that of me having a diabetic reaction from it and all the people getting a bad batch and having meningitis and some even dying… I'm not doing that! She did say that even diabetics get steroid shots and I said yeah I know, but not me. Next one is that she did agree that I should wear my soft cervical collar in bed when I get those terrible top of the head headaches that is a good idea and all my other symptoms she still feel are related to the MS more so than the cervical stenosis. But she did not feel that seeing a neurosurgeon for a second opinion on how to proceed or if intervention is needed, or even an orthopedic surgeon that I used to go to that either would be a bad idea. Now that I saw her today my next appointment isn't until April, but I forgot that she gives me a year’s of refills on all my prescriptions and they are up in January and so when I got home I had to leave a message with the office manager to send me additional prescriptions until I see her again and also the insurance company that I will hopefully be attaining on the first of next month if they accept that insurance. I guess nobody likes to be in doctor’s office and so we were anxious to leave after we paid. And darn it I forgot to ask those two questions. On that little bit of this, little bit of that, allow me to be the first to wish you a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear? Author's note: Must recheck on editing more carefully with this Dragon program causing too many BAD mistakes!

Shopping and getting sticker shock…

Recently on the news California had their own sticker shock at the gas pumps with prices heading towards the six dollar a gallon mark. Unfortunately, their prices seem to be much higher than the rest of the other states. So it is logical with all the gas prices fluctuating that getting food to the grocery stores would cause the prices of the food to accelerate in price too. This afternoon we decided to take our grocery shopping trip and pick up items that we needed. Mostly vegetables and fruit and some staples like milk, eggs and bread, but some cleaning items for the laundry. They did have a sale on one of the wines we enjoy and so we bought four at less than seven dollars a bottle we felt that was a good deal. Wine is good for the aging heart, even the doctors say… We do seem to buy less red meat, more chicken and fish at the counter when it's on sale and more healthful foods and so that's what people say costs more and I suppose that's why it did; BIG time! For instance more healthful foods are multigrain breads from their bakery, EB eggs and fat free dairy products such as milk and sour cream. It is apple season and we bought a 3 pound bag, four bananas, four plums, strawberries and seedless white grapes. Oh and we bought things like vine ripened tomatoes, romaine lettuce, celery, one sweet onion, one red onion, cloves of garlic, and two avocados. We had radishes and carrots still at home. The only cheese we bought was some part skim milk shredded mozzarella for our homemade pizzas, since last time we picked up yeast for our flour and we already had heart smart tomato sauce. Making pizza at home we used to do quite often and enjoy. Especially, when we used to grow our own tomatoes and I would make the sauce from scratch, making your own pizza dough isn't so difficult, really. At one point I was considering reading up on how to make cheese from milk. But that was a short lived idea; for what we needed it would be overkill, it's easier to pick it up from the store. We did buy some shrimp on sale and some 93% ground beef, but we had things like chicken and steak in the freezer at home even some tilapia and so our diet is quite healthy as you can see, but every time we go to the store the prices keep going up and we still have to eat so that's a bit of a dilemma. Making healthy choices that we will always be able to afford has become more challenging. I am sure that all of you have come across this situation as well that is trying hard to eat healthy and stay within a budget. We’re not quite spending as much as when we had two teenagers at home, and those teenagers have been long grown up so we are talking like 20 years to get to this point of groceries costing almost as much for our family of four, for just two? As I said though we still aren't there yet, thankfully; you know I'm beginning to sound like my dad who was in the food business and always with talk about way back when things cost $.30 for this or $.20 for that, but I can remember also when $25 would buy a week’s worth of groceries for a family of four, Yep way back in 1970s. And gas was well under a dollar a gallon. Oh those were the days, but you must also know that having a $25,000 year income you were riding high, and so let's admit times are changing and everything has gone up according to what people are receiving an income percentage-wise, although, some of us still realize that the balance of what goes in and what goes out is a teetering on the edge of not being able to pay our own way. And so many of us even though we are making more than we had in the past still have to adjust to the best way to stay out of the poor house. Caution and care is what this last downturn in the economy has taught us all and I'm sure more of us are more careful than ever before how we spend our money and how we prioritize our expenditures. I know we are more careful than ever before, we have no need to go long distances and so our gas expenses are minimal, and we only buy things we can save up for, for cash or that we can afford to pay for in small increments. Being a retired credit manager, we have not charged more than we can afford and at the end of the month, remaining to have a zero balance then on any of our credit cards; which counting our debit one we have three altogether, which is more than enough in my opinion and we all know how much that is worth. I seem to be going off on another tangent and I am getting very wordy again thinking about all that I want to say… But as a very smart woman once said, “leave them wanting more”, and so I will, with that hope in my heart that you will too, huh? Now allow me to be the very first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

Is cleanliness truly next to godliness?

Lately, I've been having an irritation; now don't all get weird on me, alongside the corner my mouth which I think came from the mic attached to the earphones that came with the Dragon program. The directions call for the mic to be an inch from the mouth touching just below and so that is what I've been recently placing it. The other thing besides having a slight irritation there by my mouth is that I seem to be having a nightly sore throat. And so I decided to do what I used to do when I worked as a credit manager before I was a mother and spray the mouth piece and the rest of it with Lysol. I used to do it due to the phones at work to make sure they were clean and illness free. Even when the boys were babies I used to freshen their room with it; I was such a cleaning fanatic that my eldest son became allergic to dust mites, the only thing he was allergic to when he was tested that when he went to school because he had none at home. Amazing, I hear you saying actually that's what the allergist told me when our eldest son was 13. The younger one, the second child when we took them camping with us, the baby sat in the dirt and ate it and to this day he has no allergies at all! It must be due to the MS or anyone of my other ills that have me more sensitive to dirt and I used to be a lot tougher gal. Now, the sore throat doesn't necessarily come from the microphone icky or what have you; it could be that I'm talking for a long time without many breaks, who knows… It's hard to be as neat and clean as I used to be at one point I used to vacuum daily, dust and wash floors scrubbed bathrooms you name it I was Mrs. Clean. It was because of the babies, the boys, if there was a piece of thread they would try and eat it if they were crawling on the floor, but that's babies and most moms try to keep them safe and healthy and that was my way of doing it. I did their laundry as often as it needed it, if that was daily it was done daily! That's just what mothers in the 70s did. When they were small I either worked part-time or stayed home and when they went to school I went back to work and then we had a business office in the house; it always seemed to work out. And of course when they became teenagers I got to work regular hours again. Yes, I did keep our home clean; in case you were wondering, but by now I was as great delegating at home as I was at work and the boys and Hubby would help with all household chores. And I would even still vacuum weekly and do laundry when necessary, but by now the boys knew how to do it too and they knew it was part of their responsibility. We also had taught them how to cook at a very young age and when we had our restaurant they love to help. Although, our younger son enjoyed working the register, by then he was 11 and at six he was already on a 12th grade math level and so we let him do it. Our elder son at 15 didn't mind helping prepare food, but we made sure they had extracurricular activities too and besides them coming by bicycle after school to the restaurant we would take turns transporting them to whatever they had going on. It was a busy life and at the time quite exhausting. We did have a couple of employees, but that proved to be a mistake with at least one of them. This fine young college graduate whose father had been in the business and owned a few steak houses said he wanted to go out on his own to make it on his own, but he forgot to tell us the part where he was an illegal drug user and his father basically disowned him. We checked out his references prior to hiring him and made him in charge when we finally got to take Sundays off. Big mistake, he robbed us blind, and he even stole the good luck $20 bill we had framed that my mother-in-law had given to us. It was devastating, and as it got more difficult with the boys needing us more and our biggest draw, neighbor, to our business moving out, a Walmart across the street moved into a larger building a mile away to become a super Walmart; now remember this was the late 1980s when this happened and so it got too quiet and we sold out our equipment etc. that we had bought all brand-new. It was hard and hubby went into his own business again, this time one that didn't need as much money to start-up, his own landscaping, which everyone always admired our properties and he did take engineering and he was in the underground sprinkler business for many years in New Jersey and so he did that. And I tried other things until I found something I enjoy. Hubby acquired quite a few customers that asked him to maintain their properties when they would go home up north to wherever and so he did. One of them was a very interesting older couple, married quite a long time and at the time this was when I was doing my race walking on the beach, in Ormond Beach to Daytona, a mile and half each way, in forty minutes and some days I would walk to their home to see if Hubby needed me to help with weeding or moving things around and then usually we would walk across the street to have some lunch. Oh yes, I forgot to mention they lived on the ocean and were quite well-off. The man was a retired professor with many patents. I would be friendly when I saw them since they were very nice to me and we would chat and enjoy visiting with them. They liked it so much that when it came the time for them to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary we were invited to their country club to celebrate with them. This was a small celebration only eight people, four couples, including their daughter and son-in-law, their grandson and his fiancée, another employee and their spouse and hubby and I. I almost passed out when I arrived there and hubby was surprised too for their grandson who we were introduced to; he was the young man that had worked for us in our restaurant and robbed us blind. Now what are the chances of something like this happening; I ask you? Well, what would you have done in those circumstances that we found ourselves…? It was a celebration we had brought them a gold-toned photo album and took many pictures there that we would deliver to them afterwards and so if anybody knew how to act and for me as you know it's difficult, but I behaved and Hubby too; neither one of us said a word. They were old and they were wonderful to us and so that's how we repaid them by not mentioning that their grandson was a thief, our same thief. For years, I always wondered how that could have happened. We knew he was from a wealthy family and has gone to prep school and an Ivy League university that's why, although, he wanted to work for us we didn't try to second-guess it, we accepted him as an asset to the business. It's been years since I thought about this, today, to check someone's background when they apply for a job you could merely just go online or contact the FBI or do whatever you want and be pretty darn sure that they are a suitable employee. Now we all know those things don't check for emotional stability in many people that may have been put through the mill when it comes to life's little curveballs and so although a person may be qualified by the references; one never really does know does one? And of course drug testing is the usual these days. Gosh, I was having this train of consciousness verbosity remembrance so sorry! Mini novel, oh that’s right a novella! To get me off the hook of this, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?

And the debate goes on…

We Americans are debating the debate; it was two nights ago and yet it is the most important conversation that has come up on social media, news media, whatever media you want to mediate, ha. I am not quite sure of the date for the next presidential debate, but I am sure by then the discussion of the one of two nights ago will have fizzled. Interestingly, things have not gotten too far gone it appears that the electorate shows that our current president will maintain his job with him acquiring 291 electoral votes and his opponent, Gov. Romney showing only 191; to win you need 270. We have one more month until the election and it looks good for the president to continue, but as they say on those reality shows, they need your votes, not to take it for granted that they can win without your help. Moving on… Consider this segment a PSA; many homes have smoke alarms of the ionization type, which are not as efficient as the photoelectric type. The warning times for smoke to reach you and it sounding the alarm could be as long as 20 min. with the ionization type and less than half that time the photoelectric type and that could be the difference between life and death. Below you will find information on the photoelectric smoke alarm and how it works. Today hubby purchased one for our small home and it was less than $20, as I said before, what price is peace of mind. The news story nationally was about a family that died with a functioning ionization type smoke alarm that took too long to sound. “How They Work Photoelectric smoke alarms work by using a small light source inside the alarm that is captured by a light sensor. When smoke enters the device the beam of light is scattered by the smoke interference. The sensor picks up on the change in the light beam and sounds the alarm to notify occupants of the smoke and the fire that is causing it. Supposed Advantages According to the Fire Safety Council, photoelectric smoke alarms have some inherent advantages over the popular ionization alarms, although there are conflicting arguments about which is better. One supposed advantage is that the photoelectric alarm is quicker to sound when there is heavy smoke in the room and less likely to be set off by steam from cooking in a kitchen, which results in fewer false or "nuisance" alarms. The photoelectric alarm is also free of the radiation emissions found in ionization models. While the ionization smoke alarms are not known to emit enough radiation to be harmful to humans, some people prefer to eliminate radiation in the home completely.” Thanks to: http://www.ehow.com/info_8098331_photoelectric-smoke-alarms.html Most people think of blogs projecting more opinions and very little helpful information, but from time to time I do like to try and help my community of man/woman. So I occasionally incorporate, in my blogs, tidbits of useful items. Think of it as a love letter to my readership, because I care, yes I really do! This one above was quite interesting to both Hubby and I, since he is a retired fire chief from New Jersey, 1986. So whenever we hear anything that makes you and us any safer we will pass that on to all of you. On that note worthy information allow us to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear! PS Krisi another shout out to wish you a very happy birthday! PSS Even the 7.8 lowering of unemployment from 8.1 was debated once again. The fact the market that is the stock market that is has been going up again and car sales of American-made cars going up will always be discussed by both parties saying negatives or positives whichever helps either... As someone famous once said a musician than a senator, Sonny Bono the beat goes on… and I say...it sure does!

The debate…

“I believe that Romney was rude to the President with constantly interrupting him; and proving, once again that to me that he is full of hot air, since he really didn't say anything to dignify his answers with substantiated reasoning of how he would go about changing anything.” The above statement appeared online on Yahoo news. The above statement was made by someone that you all know. This person could not continue to watch the entire debate and turned it off around 9:40 PM. The reasoning was the frustration of listening to the constant interruption of Mitt when it was the president’s turn to speak. Gotta love Jim Lehrer, but he was way too patient. In my opinion, I think that he should've interrupted more often and held them to that designated timeframe of the 15 min. for each to respond to the other’s statement. I know that everyone believes Gov. Romney won the first round of these two presidential debates, with one vice presidential debate. There has got to be something said about the ability of President Obama handling a man that seemed like a child who had to tell everyone his ideas, which contradicted all his previous statements as well as his advertisements for the job, the facts were slightly off too. And that this person who made the above opening statement feels that as a country that has been moving forward we appear to be less tolerant of listening to others ideas and opinions. We appear to others as needing to be heard more often and first and our voices are getting louder and more discourteous to one another’s opinions. This is a sad picture for any onlookers, globally, what are we projecting to everyone else. It's been a long time, since we had the reputation of being Ugly Americans, yes; ‘The Ugly American’ movie was circa 1963 starring Marlon Brando, to read more go to: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056632/ It set the scene, for a good portion, of a decade, how we were seen by the world theater. And it took years to diminish that negative image. Sadly, I would hate to think we’re bringing it back, due to adult men not playing nicely for the entire world to see. Some were very proud and impressed with the way; Gov. Mitt Romney conducted himself last night, thus their opinions of him winning the debate; but myself and Hubby not so much. We saw one as a combative man and the other one who was patient and understanding, and being polite. Now as we all know perspective and perception is like being a Monday morning quarterback we all see things slightly different, but it concerns me that so many saw it so much different than I. The president has been very busy running the country and some idiot just stated that he was being lazy last night. (As you know when I write this I can hear the news in the background that hubby is watching) These debates are so ridiculous, do we really need them? The incumbent is busy running the country and the opponent has nothing better to do than to campaign and study for hours and hours to prepare for this test of debate. It reminds me of the stories we all heard about the student who was late for class and was yelled at by the teacher who later found out that that particular student was working before class to help his family. You know, there is always a reason why certain things happen and we are all curious why Pres. Obama seemed slightly distracted last night, off his usual perfect game. If I was an intelligent person I would believe that he has the weight of the world metaphorically on his shoulders. The job that he won a little less than four years ago has proven to be quite challenging, not that he didn't know that it would be and he is the first to admit it honestly. He also feels and knows that it will take more time to complete the tasks that he wants for all of us, including his own family. Here is an analogy for you, the pilot on a plane flying safely and carefully because he doesn't want to die anymore than we do the passengers. Now if there is a mechanical problem or a bad person on board that wants to destroy the plane than the whole shebang could change at a moments notice and all bets are off. Oh no, there is no coming back from that disaster! But the government has been behaving badly, which has caused the processes of making things happen create a slow down in the change of what our president has been trying to do, but this is still doable, not a lethal disaster. Voting the right people in, in this election could change everything. Am I the only one who thinks that they have been giving him a hard time? I suppose I am one of the few, after last night, that believes there could be so many explanations but none seem to be truly understanding what anybody should know that… Work comes first! I think I'm going around in circles like many of the candidates, my point is that debating is challenging and both of the contenders had two degrees apiece and so no one is saying that either of them are dumb. Although, temperament, calmness in handling yourself in tight situations I do believe that win should go to our president who in my opinion should have a gold medal for that! But as usual, that's my unrequested opinion and I have put that out there in the world nightly here and elsewhere. As far as the quote from the opening I will leave that to you to decide from where it came, but I know you're all very smart… Allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you to ask yourselves if you considered every angle of what went down last night and how many mistakes both men made that was proven all day long and kindly count all your blessings after that and share all your overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

I remembered...

What, you might so boldly ask? The most important thing that has to do with the election and if you don't have it, you allow others to decide the fate of a nation without your input. Have I got you wondering? I sure hope so. Why, it's the ability to vote! So I went online and put in the information required at our County site to have sent to our home an absentee ballot for my husband and myself, and guess what? We don't exist. So I found the phone number also on the site and I called them directly. I suppose I forget that with hubby being retired law enforcement there is a privacy act of some sort that kicks in so no one will know our party affiliations. Or anything else about us apparently; whoops, I suppose if they ever tracked me and this blog boy I would have a lot of explaining to do, ha! And so after I spoke to the lovely person on the other end of the line we are having our absentee ballots mailed to our home by the end of this week. It's not like we can't wait on a line like the rest of the country; oh yes it is, but like too many who have health issues we cannot... And the whole world should be out for this one, and that wait will most likely be very, very long, I hope. The fact of the matter is Hubby is going to say that I am using that too much again, i.e. the fact of the matter is, but we both cannot stand and sit in the heat for too long. It makes life a little easier, especially with the fact that rumor has it the ballot is going to be like four pages long. And it's most important to know the candidates and what they've said recently, even the ones running on a local level. This way if we need to know more we can Google their names and perhaps let us know more about them. Of course, there's also the possibility that the information is bogus or not completely accurate. The best way to get a better perspective is to look at several sites of that person’s information. Oh, in case you're wondering of course we’re registered voters! That's why the woman told me what the problem was exactly that Hubby was protected therefore so am I. I suppose that is a good thing. But for years we had an unpublished phone number and recently allowed them to publish it and we had a block on our house phone number, which we also removed. I don't know if we need to be so paranoid, but I suppose anonymity is a good thing. Hubby, after all, did arrest bad people for nearly a dozen years. Being so open here I sure hope it is not putting us in any sort of jeopardy; as exciting as that may sound to some, it scares the bejeebers out of me. What a scaredy-cat I've become. We have the storm brewing surrounding our home and also making me uneasy and so allow me to be the first to wish you a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

" Where there is an open mind, there will always be a frontier. "

What can I say, it's a rainy day and Hubby had an eye doctor appointment, which meant that his eyes were dilated and of course I had another bad night so I suggested Chinese food for dinner; thus the opening title. Actually, we ordered much less food and we still received three fortune cookies. I am not as fond of them as I was when I was a child; I think they changed the recipe and so Hubby got to eat two and I had the privilege of opening two of them giving them the opportunity to become my fortune or not. I particularly liked the first one I opened that is tonight’s title, but my second one is a little more obscure and here it is: “recognition is the greatest motivator.” It's not like I don't understand it; it's more like it could have many meanings, you know? The third one was Hubby’s and he was slightly perturbed since it wasn't really what we consider a fortune, it was more of a question and it was really weird that he got it instead of me, after you see what it was you will understand… “Q. What is K. M. S.? A. Keep Mouth Shut, the golden rule.” You see what I mean, is that what it means K. M. S., in computer speak? The golden rule, I thought was this: "do unto others that you would have them do unto you?" Could I be so wrong? I really don't think so. Any-who, the rain continues…, And bear with me I seem to be having a slight brain freeze, wouldn't you know it… I had to put my cervical collar on, since my head was hurting, so sorry. Now I am wondering if it would work like a thinking cap, nah, but it is relieving, oddly enough, my headache as it has done miraculously many times before. If I were a doctor than I would know the explanation for how this happens. My theory is that all the nerves in the body are connected and when I'm tired or move in the wrong direction I inadvertently pinch a nerve that causes the problem; but I'm no doctor. Anyway, it appears to be helping and who can argue with that? I know there was something really important that I wanted to tell you, but sadly although the pain from my head is diminishing my memory doesn't seem to be improving. Oh well, don't they say that if it's important it will come back to you? There is that ‘they’ again, as usual ‘they’ appear when you least expect it… Don't 'they'? Oh fiddly dee, what am I thinking, gosh someone tell me quick, I'm no Scarlet! Good, I have taken back my own self control... You know when I get these brain freezes I wonder if it's just my brain trying to find I higher plane for my thoughts to adjust to the next lifetime? Nah, I am not of that persuasion, but many of my thoughts are apparently. Who knows what causes what; if we were smart enough to figure that out than how would I or anyone else have this much fun trying. The ride is nearly over folks, hold on to your seats, I know it's been a bumpy ride, but isn't life itself one i.e. a bumpy-ride, oh you knew that, sorry? I am mini world, a microcosm within itself, but aren't all of us? Transcendental is a form of meditation I thought, I only wish I could be still enough to utilize it, my brain freezes aren't long enough to restrain my busy train of consciousness as most all of you know about me. I suppose in the Western culture that I live in it has served me well especially in business, but now as you all know I am retired. Oddly enough, the brain doesn't do that i.e. retire with you, wait, of course it does! Big smile here! If it didn't that would be horrible I suppose mine is just misbehaving, as so many do at this stage of life. Although, you hear of these people who are compared to a tack i.e. as sharp as a tack; now being a sharp as a tack can have its flaws too for that I more than sure, sharpness that great has to hurt someone, hmm? I know I'm pretty good in the memory department, Hubby keeps reminding me how I remember things he would prefer me to forget, but could you imagine remembering 70 or 80 or 90 decades of everything? I hear tell that there are few people in the world that have that exact recollection of dates and memories, which is amazingly! One is an American actress of quite a bit of fame, Marilu Henner from the show Taxi. I suppose being normal or average in that department is not such a bad thing. So again, I won't be complaining but I might be maintaining the need to know why. Sorry, no additional rhyming, since my timing seems to be slightly off. So as I bid you good night, a very happy one, allow me to be the first and kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
