I don't know why I'm telling you all this, you don't know the difference. And while I'm on the subject of differences I have a peeve to discuss. Hey Facebook, what's with the posted pictures?
You may have noticed my bitching about the blog photo of me in the gravity chair. According to the blog help page, Facebook has changed the code and the way pictures are selected. Now, keep in mind this is Google blaming something on Facebook. I can't understand the fifteen step fix so from now on you'll see what you see.
It feels like I have cotton in my ears. Last night I fell asleep with my ear buds in.
'Polar Vortex':5 Things to Know.
Since most of the country is dealing with frigid and unnaturally freezing temperatures I thought this may be helpful information. By the way, there is no such thing as global warming or climate change. The link to the things to know did not open, which is just as well. It's -8 in Chicago and feels like -25 it's colder in Detroit with a wind chill of -33. It's 2 degrees in Birmingham, Alabama.
What 5 things does anyone need to know?
1. DO NOT GO OUTSIDE: IT'S TOO FUCKING COLD.
After fifty plus years I am again reminded of the frozen Popsicle on my tongue incident. In this frigid weather a 12-year-old New Hampshire girl stuck her tongue to a flag pole to "see what would happen," it got stuck. It took about fifteen minutes for her parents to free her using warm water.
This is from an old blog post:
My mother shipped me off to her sisters for the summer. My Aunt Belle took my two cousins and me to a Cincinnati museum. We stopped at an ice-cream truck on the way out. I got a Popsicle and was told that it was "too cold to eat." I didn't wait for it to warm; I slapped it on my tongue and wrapped my lips around it. It was stuck. I was told to wait for warm water. I didn't wait and ripped the frozen treat off my tongue, which, by the way, is very, very vascular. I ate soup for a week. All my cousins in Ohio can laugh now, it's OK.
I thought an autonomous car was something to get kinky in, but not so. On second thought, I imagine you could since it drives itself. Driverless cars will be commonplace in twenty years which is a very good thing. I'm going to need one when I'm eighty-five.
Life imitates art. In the Woody Allen movie "Take the Money and Run" Allen, playing the character Virgil Stark, attempts a bank heist. He and his gang are foiled when the teller can't read his hold-up note.
I'm sorry, I can't read this. What is a gub?
It's a gun....see...G-U-N. I have a gun.
Well it looks like G-U-B to me. Wait, I'll get my manager. Mr. Silver, this man claims he has a gun but it looks like gub. What do you think?
This happened in Antioch, California, the next town east of here.
An alleged bank robber was foiled when a teller could not read his poorly written holdup note. Police said a man entered the Wells Fargo Bank and quietly approached a teller, produced a note and handed it to her.
Police said the teller was unable to read the note and contacted her manager to assist her.
While the teller consulted with her manager, the suspect exited the bank through the back door.
Eventually the bank staff determined the suspect was attempting to rob the bank and contacted the police.
Responding officers found 29-year-old Jamal Garrett near the bank. He was across the street walking through an outdoor mall. Witnesses positively identified him as the man who tried to rob the bank.
Garrett was arrested for attempting to rob the bank as well as an outstanding warrant for parole violations.
Garrett was taken to county jail where he awaits a trail date.
His fifth grade language teacher was called and he received ten raps on the knuckles for his poor penmanship.
"What do you mean he don't eat no meat?".....Aunt Voula
I rarely (no pun intended) eat red meat. Other than an In N Out a few months ago I can't remember the last time I ate a burger. But I know many of you enjoy the ground meat of cows. Since I try to entertain as well as inform I give you the StufZ.
But wait; there's more.
If a stuffed burger doesn't give you the calories you crave, try this, The Perfect Bacon Bowl.
Or make a bacon bowl and put a stuffed burger in it.
If you ask me, this is cheating.
An Iowa science teacher says he lost nearly 40 pounds in three months eating McDonald's only.
John Cisna says he and his students planned out a 2,000-calorie daily diet using foods only on the McDonald's menu.
For breakfast he would have a bowl of oatmeal or egg whites with 1% milk, for lunch a salad and dinner a value meal.
He also added 45 minutes of walking to his daily routine.
"It's our choices that make us fat, not McDonald's," the Iowa teacher said.
Now, if I can get my tongue off this pole I'll go get some breakfast.
It's painfully obvious we need to protect ourselves from the bad guys. The Target security breach had us holding our breath. Wanda pays bills and does banking on line. We feel it's more secure than mailing checks. It's also faster and less expensive.
It goes without saying (then why am I saying it) we need to be aware of our soundings, especially at or near A.T.M. machines. Here are a few tips from the New York Police Department.
Pay attention. Don't get lost in a video game or text message.
Don't leave your purse on a bar, floor or hanging on the back of a chair.
Keep your electronics put away.
Make sure you have your phone's serial number.
These are all good suggestions. A contributor adds:
I never use a push cart, I use a basket. I don't carry a so called "Purse" I carry my money in a case (metal like what mints used to be in) and placed in my waistband or bra area and a small cigarette carry (I don't smoke) big enough with a handle and loop to attach to my belt loop or carry around my wrist that allows for lipstick, pen, small items, I carry my I.D. in my bra.

I just know I'll soon be behind her in the check-out line at Safeway. Hey lady, you need help getting at that drivers license?
