Thanks People Magazine! Now there’s an article with real human interest.  

Anastasia Steele, coming directly from Christian Grey’s closet of pain and pleasure, holding hands with Pepper Potts, embracing her enhanced strength, durability, and senses.  It doesn’t take a psychic to know where this is leading.  It starts with holding hands and a sweet photo but somehow, even after the photo-op ends the hand embrace continues.  The two, drawn together by an animalistic urge neither can deny continue on, desperately seeking a private place, far from inquisitive magazines and probing eyes, where they are free to express…

Sorry, I got to go!

I know you may be reading this first but yesterday we questioned the wisdom of the 21st Amendment, the repealing of prohibition.  At least our congress had the presence of mind to enact the 22nd Amendment limiting an individual to two terms in office as President of the United States.  This was a positive step but did not anticipate a candidate channeling Hitler by creating false enemies, ignoring the Constitution and threatening the opposition with retribution; all foreshadowing an attempt to establish a dictatorship.
Who could have seen this coming…besides EVERYONE?

Relax.  I’m counting on the Universe to care for us.  We will soon wake from this nightmare and sing a rousing chorus of “Happy Days are Here Again!”
Ohhhhhhhmmmmmmm…
Namaste

On December 5, 1933, congress repealed the 18th Amendment and gave states the right to regulate alcohol.  It makes you wonder; if our nation had not been fueled by alcohol for 83 years would we have elected a totally unqualified ignorant narcissist to be our 45th President and then sit by and watch him dismantle the republic for revenge and his personal gain?

Booze for thought!

A site called Fur Ball Fun published this list.  I’ll try to clarify for you youngsters under 60.

1. Aches and Pains (That Seem to Have No End):  I’m a karate man!  I don’t show weakness.  I suffer on the inside!
2. Forgetfulness Takes the Stage:  What was the question?
3. The Battle with Technology:  There is no need for a system update as I haven’t a clue as to my Apple I.D.
4. The Dreaded Gray Hair Invasion:  Can’t help with that.  It has been many moons since my scalp was graced with hair.
5. Early Bird or Night Owl?  No, Just Tired:
6. The Unstoppable March of Time on Your Skin:  It’s not the look of my skin that bothers me but the prodigious amount around my middle.
7. The Constant Battle with Weight Management:  Fortunately that has not been a problem.  I have been able to maintain obesity with little effort.
8. The Endless Stream of Doctor’s Appointments:  Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.  Those little blue pills don’t grow on trees!
9. The Generation Gap Widens:  Not my fault each generation gets dumber and dumber.
10. Becoming the “Experienced” One:  No problem.  I wouldn’t be friends with anyone dumb enough to ask me for advice.

Oh and one other annoying thing: YOU!

I didn’t bother reading the article.  It would just make me feel bad. I never made it to 50.

I switched from trying to distract myself  by remembering the the names of the 1981 dodger infield…Ron Cey, Bill Russell, Davey Lopes, Steve Garvey and started counting; 1 -2 – 3- 4…etc.  But no matter how fast I count I still can’t make it past 40.  50 is but a dream!

Bummer!

How?  Simply click on the link that will allow you to take a short survey about your experience with Costco Wholesale with the end result being a “Fabulous gift!”  But the email did not originate from Costco but some gobbledygook email at gmail.com.  And the sender, hafastatabdulah2275, will reward you with a virus that will require you to pay an enormous amount to a sleazebag piece of human waste who undoubtedly has just emerged from the anus of a festering demon and in the end will never allow you access to your laptop without the help a professional 12 year old genius from the Geek Squad.

Or you might be alerted that you;
     – “Have won a Kuer1g c0ffeemaker” in an email from the most famous of Keurig dealers, Joki3683 who again is a loathsome pile of rotting garbage who deserves to have genitals severed by a rusty tin can top with jagged edges dipped in the simian papillomavirus.
     – “Earn up to 8.25% with no market risk” from carshield.gos02pcpl@marcoombardi275.onmicrosoft, a particularly nasty foul-smelling scumbag, perfect candidate for waterboarding.
     – “Your Shipment is on the way” from FEDEX oluyemioluwaseyi54@gmail.co, you don’t even want to know what I’d do to that jerk wad!

Email now officially sucks wieners in hell.  Just my opinion but I could be right.

Trick Question!  If you said Kourtney you are right, but nobody cares.  What we did determine by you answering the question correctly is that you need to get a life.

Do not pass go.  Do not collect $200.00. Do pick up a book.

In Season 5, Episode 15 of Seinfeld  Poppy comes out of his restaurant’s bathroom stall having just dropped off the kids at the pool and, without washing his hands, proceeds to the kitchen and makes Jerry a pizza.

Apparently Poppy is not alone in his unsanitary habits.  It is estimated one million lives a year could be saved by proper hand washing.  A team of researchers in the UK are developing a cheap “tab soap” they hope will make handwashing more accessible to everyone around the world.

In the meantime, enjoy your Pizza, if you dare!

If your travels take you to Edinburgh, Scotland, and you are looking for a place to stay, travel professionals like myself highly recommend The Scotsman Hotel.

We might have loved it for a multitude of reasons:
     1. The large well-appointed rooms.
     2. Comfortable king bed with beautiful linen.
     3. The warmth and efficiency of the staff including being greeted by name by the Bellman when we returned after sightseeing the first day.
     4. The prime location; close to the Royal Mile and a short walk to Edinburgh Castle and The Palace of Holyroodhouse.

Actually All these amenities impressed me.  What made the Scotsman stand out for Linda? A self-serve dispenser in the lobby containing the best Hot Chocolate ever and no looks of recrimination from the front desk staff regardless of how many times we shamelessly approached the dispenser to refill our cups.

NEXT:  The Candy Bowl on the front desk of the Hotel Beauchamps in Paris’ 8th Arrondissement and the bag of sweets the desk staff filled for Linda when we returned in the evening.  We all have our own standards by which to judge…
