  1. Maybe they haven't noticed yet after ALL THESE YEARS of going through the motions of civility with these assholes, but they could not give a CRAP about legal "threats", and frankly they shouldn't. 

    They have repeatedly told the courts, congress, any and all attempts to legally curtail them to **** OFF, and guess what? The "law" lays down, ****s itself off, and does nothing to back up any of it again and again.

    Cowardly, toothless, spit on and laughed at by these traitorous snakes.

     

    Throw them in ****ing jail. Don't threaten to do it like last time, and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before and the time before.

     

    Do it. Follow through just ONCE.

    "Threats". My ass.

    Toothless finger wagging.

  2. They seriously ask "Who knew an owl could survive in the big apple?"

    A bird that can survive in any climate and eats rodents and small animals.
    No shortage of them. Friggin' owl smorgasbord everywhere he goes.

     

    Who knew, indeed.
    The owl knew.

    That's hoo.

  3. 14 hours ago, Jumbo said:

    PSA: for those who have or haven't seen it, Kentucky Fried Movie is streaming on Prime Video.😃

     

    It's a 1977 classic, written mainly by the guys who later brought you Airplane, The Naked Gun and Police Squad. Directed by  National Lampoon contributor John Landis, who did a lot of great movies later.

     

    It includes a number of former members of second city tv, Fridays, and early snl and even some from national lampoon magazine (a fantastic source of comedy gold for twenty years) who also worked on nat lamps great comedy albums.

     

    All kinds of interesting people in it like George Lazenby (James Bond) and Henry Gibson (Laugh-In).

     

    One segment is a legendary send up of Enter the Dragon with a guy named Han Bong Soo (often Americanized to Bong Soo Han) who I actually knew somewhat. He was a world class master of Hapkido. Movie has a couple so so sketches but a lot of awesome stuff.

    Beaver and Wally in court is a riot.
    I LOVE this movie. I can't recommend it enough.

    So my random tale for the day is a bit scary.
    A few years ago I landed in the hospital with pericarditis, an inflammation of the sac around my heart. When it started it just felt like my back was a little out of whack, like if i could just get it to crack or loosen up, I'd feel ok. So I ignored it,, me and my back have had our tricks, and so I figured it was more to do with my sleeping position, I even went to a chiropractor.
    Then one night i woke up in a pain like i'd never have before, i imagine it's like a heart attack.. long story short, the sac tore, fluid got out, and infection started.
    Hospital fixed me up.

     

    SO recently i've felt the symptoms again. This time i didn't wait, and went to my Dr on Monday. She agreed with me, and got me a prescription fo the meds that clears it up.
    "Colchicine" is one of them. It's what they gave me before, and it did the trick in short order.

    SO yesterday Giant pharmacy calls to tell me it's ready, my wife stops by to pick it up and all of the store's networks are down. They can't take any credit cards, even pump any gas.. and they cant' fill scrips. So they give my wife a 2 day supply.

    Now, i take one medication. It's Atorvastatin, rather common statin for cholesterol. It's the only thing i take. Prescribed by the same doctor.

     

    My natural need to 'do my own research' kicks in, and so I google the interactions between colchicine and atorvastatin and what do you know.. a potentially very serious toxicity can develop and shut down my kidneys and potentially kill me. I look through several sources I consider reputable, AMA, Medlineplus, and a couple others. All say the same thing.

     

    So now i am waiting on a phone call as to what to do. (I have a feeling if Giant's systems hadn't been down it would have flagged it. I hope.)

     

    Moral of the story: "Do your own research" has become synonymous for "I am a paranoid loon".

    But you'd better do it.

  4. My favorite word is "paint".

    I like "pen", too.. I guess it's the P an N?
     

    But paint, it is satisfying to say.

    It represents new, fresh, beauty, art, creativity, color.
    It can be bold, it can be understated, it can be wide, entirely change something, or it can be incredibly intricate.
    Paint is pure human expression.
