Hey....Put it Where the Sun Don't Shine.

You may (or may not) remember I used to go to the doctor once a month for a prescription. While I was there she did ask me a few questions just so the visit wouldn't be all about the drugs. Last year I got fed up with all the insurance hassles and decided to quit the medication. I took the last of it in December. I had a follow-up appointment in January and another one this morning. I like the doc and we're working on a few other things so I'll see her next month, then every three or four from there.

The truly terrible treatment started when my original insurance carrier declared bankruptcy and my case was transferred. This happened a few years ago. I was originally covered by the company that insured the Titanic. Over a hundred years in business, they survived the Titanic sinking but I put them out of business.

I was so tired of fighting with the adjuster and insurance company the pain of seven operations was less stressful. They beat me down and I let them win.

I got home about fifteen minutes ago. I'm running late.

Just saw this article: Simple Tricks to Instantly Look Better in any Photo.

The photo caption has four young ladies taking a selfi. I'd estimate their combined age to be less then mine. They're all cute and bubbly looking. Kids don't need help looking better. Enjoy it while you can ladies. 

At one time I didn't think I would age. I was sure I'd be the only human to look and feel perpetually young. HA...Ha...ha...ha...ha. Here are several tips for great looking pictures.

Slenderize: Tighten your body and elongate your spine. Sit or stand straight. If it is an informal shot go ahead and throw your arms up over your head. This a good way to look 10 pounds lighter.

Erase a Double Chin: The experts say a double chin can add twenty pounds to a photo. "Point your chin down, and then stick it out like a turtle," says facial exercise trainer Cynthia Rowland. "It works every time."

Here are some tips for how older folks can look better in photographs.

Bend over as far as you can and try to touch your toes. Have the photographer take a picture of your backside. It'll assuredly look better than your face.

Stretch you mouth wide, tilt your head up and smile. Have the photographer crop out your entire head.

Or, draw a happy face on a paper bag and place it over your head.

Now, if you'll excuse me I must go and do my facial exercises.

Today is International Safety Pin and Siblings Day.

So get your sibling, find a safety pin and stick it in him, or her.

I don't have siblings, well I do have one but I don't think I could get close enough to stick him with a pin. The brother that was fifteen years my senior is now in the big Veterinary Kennel in the Sky. The other brother who is ten years my senior I haven't spoken to since December. He hosted a birthday party at his house and forgot to invite me. It was my birthday.

And now here's more interesting news of the day.

Two burglary suspects were arrested after one of them accidentally "butt dialed" 911, twice.

A Minnesota dispatcher received two calls and was able to hear a conversation. She said, "It was pretty clear they were robbing an apartment so I dispatched an officer."

When the police arrived on scene they saw the two men, Billy Markins, 35 and 32-year-old Ronnie Lee Mays leaving an apartment building with two televisions, a sound system and an empty 55 gallon tropical fish tank. They were taken into custody and charged with third degree burglary.

The former purchasing director of a Florida city panicked while he was being pulled over and stashed a glass methamphetamine pipe in the only place he could think of -- his rectum.

Carlos López, who was working for the city of Hialeah at the time, was arrested on drug charges and taken to a hospital to have the pipe removed.

The officer who stopped him said. “He appeared visually shaken and was sweating. His face was flushed and his pupils were dilated. As he searched for his license I observed involuntary muscle spasms as well as slurred repetitive speech. These symptoms are consistent with being under the influence of methamphetamine.”

In the report, an officer noted that after a metal container with methamphetamine was found, he observed that López had his pants unbuttoned.

A canine officer who was on the scene began speaking with López which wasn't easy since Lopez was not only loaded but did not speak dog. 

After some time López admitted to have a methamphetamine glass pipe inside his anal cavity. López then stated he placed it in his rectum as he was being pulled over so it wouldn't be found.

Weeks after the arrest, the 45-year-old was transferred to a leadership post in Public Works.

The city manager said, "Since it was his first offense we'll give Mr. Lopez a second chance. He has always been loyal and trustworthy. I think anyone that can tolerate a hot meth pipe up the ass will be a great sewer and water employee."

Just a few years ago she was a candidate for mother of the year.

A security guard working at a Sephora store allegedly spotted Amani Ibrahim stuffing eyeliner and other products into a shopping bag and prompting her 12-year-old daughter to snatch items as well.

As Ibrahim attempted to leave the store with the girl and two other children, the guard got in their way and wouldn’t let them leave.

Ibrahim reportedly told a police officer the shoplifting spree was her daughter’s idea. "Amani advised me it was her daughter ... who committed the retail theft and not her," the officer said.

Ibrahim was taken into custody. She was charged with a felony after police discovered that she had six previous theft convictions.

That's not mine man.

A Maine man, 25-year-old Douglas Glidden was stopped because an officer recognized him and knew his license was suspended, he “told them the marijuana found in the car was not his because he had stolen the car.”

While Glidden was being taken to jail for booking, police said the car's owner called and reported that it had been stolen from his driveway.

The 25-year-old was charged with felony operating under the influence, and felony counts of theft by unauthorized taking or transfer and violating condition of release.

Glidden has also been charged with a misdemeanor count of operating with a suspended or revoked license and a civil violation of possession of a useable amount of marijuana.

That ends the blog week.....see you on Monday.
