I am fighting a case of the flu. I can’t be certain that it actually is the flu, but since I have the internet, I have researched my symptoms, and now I feel qualified to self diagnose. I have ruled out pregnancy and diphtheria.

Someone, (I won’t mention any names, but it starts with the letter “H”(ubby), was sick last week, and he was gung ho to share his malady with me. His doctor prescribed antibiotics for him, but I decided to avoid the clinic. It’s a hot bed of disease and sick people, and I can’t take any chances in my weakened state. Self medicating is my only option, and with my choice of meds, (copious amounts of hot tea and honey with plenty of rum), I plan to drink the living daylights out of this thing.

Our anniversary was last week, and this year, hubby gave me his Continue reading »

Demon

If you were born on June 16th, you could be the living embodiment of the Bible’s ‘Beast’, a.k.a. the ‘Anti-Christ’. People have been taught for centuries that the number 666 is the ‘number of the beast’ from the Book of Revelation in the New Testament, but researchers say that new evidence proves it was 616. While many Bible footnotes already admit the number translated from the original Greek could be 616, experts say Continue reading »

Wills ThoughtsWe’ve all heard the statement, ‘The only stupid question is the one you fail to ask’.

Well, I ain’t never heard of bigger monkey muffins, bull manure or horse hunks. Ever! No stupid questions indeed! What dimwit came up with that? Seriously? Did he/she never read about redneck cousin Leroy checking the gas level in the lawnmower, who asked old Billy Jo, “Ya’ll got a lighter?” Or, my favorite, the twits that run up to victims of horrible accidents, who’re hanging Continue reading »

Exmobaby - Baby pyjamasDigital pyjamas, called Exmobaby…

While many new parents may not remember the first baby monitors, considered pretty high-tech at the time, all parents will be in awe of the newest ones about to go on sale.

Mel McConaghyOn May 10th, I turned seventy six years old. I never thought about becoming seventy six, it just happened. It was like becoming ten, then twenty one, or for that matter, seventy five. I’ve met people who became this age before I did, and it seemed to have either a special meaning for them, or they weren’t looking forward to it. I can’t remember looking forward to any particular age, because I’ve never had any preset idea about how I was going to feel or look. I take my life as it has happens.

Looking around, I think that I must be doing things right, because I’m still blessed to have most of my Continue reading »

kiss
Is it true or false that KISS band members mixed their blood with the red ink used to print the first KISS comic books?

True: It’s well known that the band KISS created their characters based as much on comic book superheroes, as from their music, so it was only natural for them to one day star in their very own comic book. Not one to miss a lucrative money making opportunity, Marvel Comics issued the first ‘Super Special’ KISS comic book in 1977.

Seeing it as an excellent marketing opportunity, KISS was more than Continue reading »
