A Drunk, a Sex Refusal, a Dog, a Fish and a Whistle....

Wanda and I need to renew our passports before the next cruise. Ten years have passed since the issue date. Passports need to be valid at least six months beyond your scheduled return home. 

They cost $110 each. It's $11 a year, which is fair. I don't mind the cost. I do mind the hassle. Every ten years! I get a tube and camera rammed up my backside every five. I complain more about the passports.

Internet, texts, and tweets make communication so instant and accessible I'm getting more reclusive. I'm beginning to think of outside errands as real chores. Every six months I have to get my blood drawn and visit my G.P. I'm not sure what bothers me more, the deed or the passage of time reminder

Occasionally I want to actually talk to a live person. I was on hold and the recording was telling me to go to the website. I was right in front of the computer and feeling guilty for using the phone. Something is wrong with me.

The Moody Blues will be at the next AARP Conference on Ageing. Tickets for the concert are just $35.

Their iconic song meanings have changed since 1967. "Tuesday Afternoon" now refers to an "EARLY BIRD" dinner special. "Nights in White Satin" a lined box.

A lot of blog worthy things have happened over the past few weeks.

I'm drunk and stupid.

A Billings, Montana woman was arrested for felony drunk driving after she called 911 to report she "couldn't get out of her car."
Fifty-five-year-old Carol Frances Fossbury remains in jail on a $3,000 bond.
The 911 dispatcher asked if she was having medical or mechanical issues. Court records say the caller replied that she was too drunk.
Prosecutors say Fossbury's blood-alcohol level was 0.311 percent, nearly four times the limit at which a driver is considered legally intoxicated. The Billings woman had the keys to the vehicle in her pocket.
Court records say she has three previous DUI convictions.
Not tonight honey, I have a headache.
A Florida woman stabbed her boyfriend in the eye after he refused to have sex with her and another woman.
The incident happened after La Crystal King-Woolly, 28, came home from the Shake Your Booty Club with another woman about 4 a.m. The two women had sex and then King-Woolly asked her boyfriend to participate, according to the sheriff's office arrest report.
When he refused the intoxicated King-Woolly "Became very angry and grabbed a knife," the boyfriend told authorities.
A "wrestling match' ensued with the woman getting cut on the knee and the man on the face. Eventually he was able to disarm her. The man was taken to the hospital and King-Wolly arrested for attempted murder.
Other wounds were caused when she hit her boyfriend over the head with her cell phone. It has yet to be determined which was smarter, her or the phone.
To show it's not only refused sex that can rile up a girlfriend.
Shadae Scott Poplar, 26, allegedly attacked boyfriend Kevin Willson with a knife because his dog had eaten her supply of marijuana.
Willson suffered small knife cuts to his face and head. He had one large gash across his hand, deputies said.
The arrest report said Poplar told deputies Willson had walked into her knife repeatedly during their argument.

Poplar was arrested on a domestic battery charge and jailed in lieu of $2,500 bond.

The dog was taken out for late night burgers and is now fine.

If you can't find a knife use fresh fish.
Police in Sweden said they are investigating a man's allegations a woman stole from his apartment and slapped him with a fish while he was sleeping.
Investigators said the man, who is in his 60s, called authorities to report he was awakened from a nap by a slap across the face from a woman wielding a mackerel. He also alleged the woman stole $310 from him and took food from his refrigerator.

The woman, who is also in her 60s, is known to the man. "They might live together sometimes," said a neighbor. The incident is being investigated as an assault, police said.

"Shhhhhhh, you're in a library."

A lawyer for a former assistant librarian in New Mexico said his client lost her job for reporting two city workers found having sex in the children's section.

Jerome Kurzman, said his client showed up for work and discovered two city employees -- the town's head librarian and a maintenance worker -- "engaged in sexual intercourse on the floor in the children's section," 

The workers told her to be quiet, (QUIET) but she reported the incident to the city library director and the mayor.

"The mayor told her that it wouldn't have any effect on her job," Kurzman said. However, she went on leave when the head librarian returned to work, claiming a hostile work environment, and was soon fired for failing to return her key to the library while on leave.

"Your refusal to turn over town property upon request and as required to ensure uninterrupted library services shows a lack of cooperation and willingness to work with supervisors. This behavior constitutes insubordination and jeopardizes the Town's ability to serve its citizens."

However, Kurzman believes her firing was tied to her refusal to keep quiet about the incident. He plans to file a claim with the town and a possible whistle-blower lawsuit could follow.

The fired employee said, "I know she was the head librarian but honestly, in the children's section? The place was closed but how inappropriate."

One librarian blows a whistle and the other..........
