YIM Not Compatible
We have a friend who I talk to each day, via YIM. It’s the only reason I use this messenger service, other than touching base with Kristine, from time to time. Apparently, YIM is not compatible to the new Macbook OS systems. Does anyone use YIM and is there a quick fix to this problem? It’s not a huge deal, obviously, but it’s become an easy way for me to check on him and to keep in touch…

She Cooked For Me
Devil is in Austin and called to let me know he’ll be home in time to take Eunhee, his Asian lady, to play poker tonight. A short while later she calls to inform me that she’s stopping by to drop something off for me and it was a container of egg rolls. She is afraid that I will starve if Devil isn’t home to cook, and since she’s the reason he won’t be making dinner tonight, she wanted to make sure I am fed. This is one, of many reasons, I cannot be too annoyed when I find her drinking on my deck at all hours of the night. lol.…

Busy Week
Hey guys! I have a long list of blog posts to add, but very little time to put fingers to keyboard. LOL. Get it? Pen to paper.. since we no longer use paper… anyway, moving on. This week is going to be crazy for me. I’ll be online most of Monday and Tuesday, with very late nights. Wednesday is a possibility, but I don’t know yet.. just depends on how much energy I have left after mowing the yard.. I’ll be offline from Thursday – Monday, returning late Tuesday… And then I’ll have a lot of catching up to do, but we’ll worry about that next week. I hope that…

Needs To Be Said:
A big old “fuck you” is in order for Mother Nature. We go from one extreme to the next. Which one of you Texans pissed her the fuck off? You need to say sorry, ASAP!

Technologies Finest
I think we’ve all experienced the tech market expanding far beyond Nintendo game systems and Walkmans. We’ve gone from party lines to home telephones to answering machines and now smart phones. I don’t remember the party lines, but I certainly remember the days before there was a machine that plugged into the phone and recorded someone’s message. I also remember when everyone had typewriters instead of personal computers. At any rate, out of all of the technology that we’ve experienced, which is your favorite? Mine would have to be text messaging. It is easy to stay connected by sending a text, instead of being stuck on the phone for an…

History: Memorial Day
It’s been a long while since I’ve forced history upon you guys, here on my blog. Today seems fitting to change that. It began as Decoration Day following the Civil War in 1868, when Union veterans declared it as a time for the nation to remember the dead by placing flowers on graves. For many years the Union and Confederate soldiers remembered their fallen on different days. They soon merged, and Memorial Day became a tradition to honor all Americans who died while in military service. Volunteers place flags at each grave site in national cemeteries, but many other towns have also taken on the task of acknowledging their fallen…

What Memorial Day Means To Me:
Memorial Day isn’t the day that starts summer, nor is it the day that gives me an excuse to head to the lake to drink like a fool. Memorial Day is the one day that we, as a country, actually stop to think about our freedom. It’s the one day that, as a whole, we appreciate those who gave their lives and sacrificed their futures so that we could have one. Many never made it home while others did, but let us not forget what they ultimately gave. Their lives. I’m thankful for all soldiers, nurses, families and lives from past and present wars and those who pick up the…

Another Spontaneous Member Show. TONIGHT.
Last night was fun and Lefty was such a gracious sport! Thank you, first of all, for letting all of us come together just to exploit your “just another day” day! After you left, those remaining were still trying to find someone who has a birthday on the 22nd and the best they could do was Cliff’s mention of so-and-so… who has been dead for 20 years. LOL. At any rate, I was in an agreeable mood and there’s really no reason not to do another… so, we’re having a repeat of last night tonight at the same time. Friday, May 22nd at 12 midnight EST.

An Impromptu Member’s Night
Tomorrow is Lefty’s birthday, which he doesn’t really think is a big deal. Actually, in his words, “it’s just another day” and “I don’t like for people to make a big deal out of it.” So, we’re going to do a 1 hour show at 12 midnight EST and it’s going to be a great night, for no particular reason… except it’s Thursday. That’s tomorrow, May 21st at 12midnight EST (which, will be Thursday night, Friday morning).

Rita Daniels and Her Radio Show
Rita was a gracious host and it wasn’t near as bad as I had imagined it would be. Now, with that said, it’s not that I thought she would be horrible, I thought I would be. Granted, I did stutter through a couple questions… it turns out, I’m boring in the bedroom and I hate people. LOL. Other than that, I’d say it went pretty well. haha. Oy. I like it better when I’m the one asking questions; now I know how you guys feel when I put you through an hour of questions in between gold shows. Please, don’t feel the need to remind me of that next time…
