A room with a view

Anybody catch this months issue of "Feel and Scream"? I heard the centerfold was fantasic!

Well we had a traitor in our group today. Yes, one of the little Neons was hanging out with the Drifters. Fortunately, this action was nipped when to Neons swam over and escorted the little confused Neon back to the school.

Been wondering about my preoccupation with our snails? Check this out:



All day long these two are at it. I feel sorry for our betta that shares the same bowl. I know he's going to need to get professional help at some point.

Today I'm thinking that some day I'd like to actually live somewhere with a view. I mean as a shut in there has to be something better to look at. Looking out the front of our house I get to see our neighbors across the street. Neighbor one older woman, very nice but wears skin tight clothes that crawl up her butt crack. Now this wouldn't be bad if her butt was something worth looking at. The other neighbor you never actually see. Just the car leaving or returning. The garage door opens, the garage door closes. The real interesting thing is 98% of the time its a little silver car, but every now and than out will come a blue car. Strange indeed.

Out back, More houses but nothing going on. In fact the most exciting thing that happens out back is rather Riley can get his leg up high enough to finally hit the bush. He usually hits his front foot.

More in part 2...........................

Snail screams?

Been watching the snails. No, not when they are doing it, that's disgusting. Like walking in on your grand parents disgusting. No I've been watching their other routine which is climb up the side of the bowl to the top of the water than fall down.

They do this all day long. Well not when they do the other thing. Up the side, fall to the bottom. Makes you wonder if they scream on the way down? I think they are playing like kids on the playground slide.

Of course, if you watch carefully every now and than you will catch the betta give a snail a little nudge than down goes the snail. Look at the betta, I think he's smiling.

The drifters in the other tank have finally braved swimming out past the neon guards. Food is a powerful persuasive tool. Even though the neons are really smaller than the drifters I think they are much smarter. The drifters swim frantically around chasing food flakes crashing into each other. The neons on the other hand, hang out underneath and wait for the food to drop.

No child left behind

I just had to add this.

" Iraq report set benchmarks to high "

Come on people anybody hear of the No Child left Behind?

You know where many school systems have complained that the " benchmarks are to high "

What a ride!!

We added 6 new fish to the tank last night. Little Neon Tetra's. Obvious educated fish they swim in schools. Unlike the 5 drifters who just hang out where ever.

I was a little concerned for the Neons. When we first set the bag in the water, the drifters started pecking at the bag. I was thinking those little guys were going to be drifter bait. But as soon as they were released, they grouped up and pushed the drifters into a corner!



Check out this chair!! I want one of these. Not to climb rocks. Just being able to get out of my house be cool. Told my wheelchair provider about this.........His response, "you can't have one"!I found a perfect used one for $10,000 fully setup its double that price new. I bet I'd be hard pressed to get that stuck!!

Medicare won't help cause I've got a chair. Plus those wo make the rules say the chair only needs to move the disabled person around the house and Doctor visits. I wish they would ask us gimp guys what we think before they start making up those rules.

So now its brainstorming time. 10,000 people each gave me a dollar I could buy this baby. 5000 people $2 bucks 200 people $50. Shoot most people spend that much on tennis shoes!

I've considered prostitution but it would take a lot of nickels to make up that kind of money.

Photo

I added a photo today, way big major step. Not much for photo's. That's me in the yellow shirt. My grandson in the orange and rounding out the party, Riley the pound dog in the black, whit, and gray. My wife is taking the photo so she isn't in this one.

See I told you a wheelchair hangs off my butt.

Helicopter Fish

All the fish survived, yippie. Ya know after setting up the tank and putting the fish in, of course than we read the instructions!!

What a blast. Been watching them off and on all morning. It is cool how fish just float, move around the whole deal. They remind me of little helicopters. I bet the inventor of the helicopter got the idea from watching fish.

Speaking of, and really I know the guys name, just can't even attempt to spell it. helicopters I've always wanted one of those RC Helicopters. The kind that has to have a 6 channel radio just to control it. We use to live in a big open house with a monster loft right above the kitchen. 17 foot high ceilings. Always thought it be cool to fly one of those electric R/C helicopters down to the kitchen, little recon/rescue mission to air lift a beer for me. How fun would that be?

Well, the beer days are long gone along with the 17 foot high ceilings. But I still want one of those electric helicopters. Still be cool.

Oh and I figured out why I bought the little aquarium and fish. Yesterday I was in Sam's Club picking up my next 3 months worth of meds. I was over by the TV's drooling over this 60 inch Sony HDTV LCD. The video playing was Aquariums of the US. I watched that for 20 minutes while my wife shopped. Next thing I know is I'm in Walmart buying one of those small octagon aquarium kits and some fish. I think I was brain washed!!!

Where has all the matter gone?

Anybody read where those space scientist are saying that the Universe is short matter by something like 90%? Now I've got a thought or two on this one. First of all maybe that 90% missing matter is in the other 13 dimensions String theorist believe floats around? That could work sorta kind of. Look are dimension only requires something like 10% matter. Recipe for dimension add 8-10% matter and fill to the rim with void. Shaken of course, not stirred.

Ok while on the string concept. My over simplified mind say's that the "string" stuff is like those Stem Cells that can pretty much become anything. Now someone famous saiid something about matter neither being created or destroyed or something like that. I slept through most of my high school years. Anyways, so we got the black holes gobbling up large chunks of real estate up there like Californians moving into Oregon. Ok originally were thinking that the black hole sucks up all this matter and its gone. Well sorta. Than Dr. Hawking comes up with the idea that stuff radiates back out of those black holes. The Hawking Effect, I think. But, what if the Hawking Effect isn't matter? What if matter sucked into the giant black holes goes throubn all that gravitational, time warping pressures of the black hole and is hawked out not as matter but as string material again?

Cool no?

Doesn't that complete the guy with the whacked out hair theory? I should sleep more often :)

I got out today!! I bought a $30 aquarium and 5 fish. Have not named them yet, we'll see how many make it through the night. Wonder if fish were Christians, how they would baptize each other? Hold their heads in the air?

Oops, gotta go see who resigned today...................

Oh wait, I got an email from my local city council person. Say's the local Police are going to start enforcing the handicapped parking. Does this mean they are going to stop parking in it?

When I grow up

When I was growing up I had a whole list of things I wanted to be. One of which was President of the United States. Of course back than the reason for such a lofty goal was pretty simple. The President gets to fly in really cool airplanes and helicopters.

The President in my early view was the only person who could make things right. Of course the news was on past my bed time so perhaps my views were a tad innocent.

Look at those great Presidents we learned of. Washington set the course of our new young nation. Lincoln with the ink of his pen freed the slaves. Kennedy sent us to the Moon, Even Nixon at least had the decency to not drag the country through a lengthy and bitter impeachment process. I'm sure all of these had their faults and some people disliked them during their terms as President. ( we know Booth wasn't a happy camper, that is for sure )

I just can't help but wonder if any kids today dream of becoming President? If they do I guess they are learning early how to be cold calculating and tell good lies.

More later...........


I didn't win the big lottery again!! Glad I didn't blow my dollar on a ticket. Can I sue Ed McMhan and Publishers Clearing House. The anxiety of waiting for Ed to show up at my door with that bigger than life check has made it hard for me to go to work.

If your against illegal activities that makes you a racist. I want to apologist to all the Muggers, rapist, murderers, and child molesters and anyone else doing illegal acts for my racist attitudes towards you. If I should ever see any of you who do illegal acts mothers, sisters, or relatives being raped or murdered or any other illegal act, I'll be sure not to allow my racist attitudes to interfere. I am so ashamed of my racist attitude.

Glad I got that off my chest...............

It's Saturday!!!!

Here I am running a bit slow this morning. Probably due to that Healthy Choice lunch I had yesterday. Today I'm doing Dorito's Lime and Jalepeno. much better!!

Ok anybody else have this problem? Our snails have sex like 10-12 times a day. Just all the time. Their sexing me out of house and home!! All those after the deed smokes add up! And who ever said a snail is slow, well let me tell you when the one snail decides its time again it can really book. Don't know which is which sex or if they are different. Could be gay snails for all I know.

The betta fish in the bowl gives us this really disgusted look every time the snails are at it. Plus the water doesn't stay clear for long with all the transfer of snail bodily fluids.

Wonder if I can sell tickets........................

Hey, where are your legs?

Damn shut in's always got the angles. Ok I guess I need to explain. From about 6 AM to 11-12 PM I sit in a wheelchair. The rest of the time I toss and turn in bed. Don't sleep much!!

Remember the dragging anatomical part? Well hell, you would drag to if your legs were missing from, oh lets say the balls on down!! Can I say that? Probably get some note from some old biddy saying how insulted she is. Hell I never said anybody had to read this stuff. It's supposed to be therapy for me.

Now if that wasn't enough my left arm is gone from the shoulder. But the worse part is I'm missing my friggin pinky on my right hand. So yeah people thats a freakin wheelchair hanging out my butt!

Funny the DMV can't seem to figure that out.

Now, don't get me wrong. This ain't so bad once you get use to it. So back to the shut in thing.

My wheelchair cost something like $26000 dollars. Which is a lot of money!! Lucky for me Medicare helps out. Now I'm not complaining, I tried skateboards and believe me wheelchairs are a lot easier on the ass, but the way Medicare looks at things a wheelchair only needs to get the disabled person around his or her house. They don't care if it gets stuck outside.

Now I live in a desert, you know where it gets HOT like the rest of the country been doing lately. Last year I got stuck in triple digit temps 7 times. Once in my own back yard and the fire department had to rescue me. So far this year only 3 times stuck. But as I said I don't get out much!

Anyways, I'd like to have an outdoor chair but those who make rules in Washington don't think I should go out! And although I did once consider selling my "services" it would take a lot of nickels to come up with that $26 grand amount.

More to follow..............

Just had lunch, Healthy Choice TV dinner. Come on how can it be healthy for you if you eat the whole thing and your still hungry? I end up running around the kitchen looking for all kinds of goodies to eat. Now a healthy choice would be like a box of Ho Ho's. Try it, eat the whole damn box when you are finished you are full, not this hungry crap! Speaking of healthy, if this food is so healthy why do you still need to take a dump after eating it? I would of thought if healthy there be no waste bi products? And really how healthy can it be after sitting in a 1000 watt microwave at full power for 4 minutes? See you don't nuke Ho Ho's!

More about me. I've got, well had, one died, 3 grown children 2 boys 1 girl. Since they all hated me at one point or another in their lives, I'm pretty sure they are mine. Besides at the time the mailman was banging the mail lady so I don't think he had time.

If you have not noticed I am the product of late 60's Virginia education system. The spelling and grammar errors probably gave it away. Who cares, feel free to correct anything I misspell or punctuate wrong. To many freaking rules if you ask me.

OK now what?

Well I did it. I now have a blog. What the hell does blog mean anyway? I'm just going to ramble here every now and than. I once came up with the answer to all questions but forgot it an hour later. Maybe I should of started a blog sooner.

I don't care if you don't like what I write, hell half the time I don't like it either. I have a tendency to argue a point and in mid stream reverse my position. Comes with being shut in I think. Also I have no friends but me. Really I like myself. Besides all of my other friends died prematurely. No I had nothing to do with their untimely deaths except that they knew me.

If you're looking for money, don't waste your time. I don't have any.

I met my wife skiing in Vermont 26 years ago. I told her a certain anatomical part of my body touched the floor. Like I said, that was 26 years ago. I didn't lie :)
