  NEWS of the DAY: 28 killed in suicide blast - death sentence upheld for gunman - 22 year old stabbed ......... and the good news was (there's no purple ?) ...... Monday again, and a week later. Never really noticed that is was Monday, a week ago. Remembered that it was Valentines Day. The fact of Monday, has no importance, it was just another day. ***Hello darkness, my old friend I’ve come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence *** Was I really sleeping? I do not think so - the nightmare was too real to be a dream. Every dark cloud has a silver lining - - - - - - only - the size of the cloud worries me, will it ever pass. Always look for the good in everything. - OH ? - Okay! Learnt a new phrase - 'I'm fine' ......... It means - 'I'm fine' ....... there, I can still be taught. ***Simom and Garfunkel - 1966 *** If I heard it once, I heard it a zillion times. Some things are the best. |
Another dark day. Some days are dark, when we feel down and out. Then - some days are dark because not everything is in our hands. Those are the bad days. The ones when we cannot walk away, when we have to stand, and see it through. When the darkness is dark. ..................... that is today! And it's Valentines Day.  14th February 2011 |
Rain, rain, rain. Reminds me of the movie, 'The Rainmaker'. The 'Rain Maker' has a full time job all over the world. As yet, we cannot complain, we are having a good time with the frequent showers. The grass and everything else is growing well, maybe even too well, as the sunflowers will topple over if the soil is too soft. Not every-one is that lucky. Too much of a good thing ..... "It rained for forty days and forty nights." The Sunday-school teacher told the children, all from the farms around. "Teacher, were the farmers then satisfied?" Very much doubt it. Sky Cat: Doing well, as naughty as a spoiled kitten can be. He if on Facebook now. Maybe I should open his own Facebook page. Yes - he is a he. |
This is the story of the flying cat, the cat which came out of the sky. A true story at that - really! Okay, flying is maybe not the correct word, it was more like falling, as in a straight line, from the top to the bottom. The shortest distance between two points, from a to b. a - would be the roof. The cats live on the roof, they do come down and eat on the ground and do their cat-stuff in the dirt. The reason they live on the roof, is because of the dogs. These dogs, one on one, do not bother the cats. It is as soon as there are two dogs, then the problem starts. Now and then, a cat misjudges the distance to the roof and the Terrier will spot the cat and give chase. The lazy Sharpei will wake up, stroll over to see what the ruckus is all about, and maybe will spot the cat and join in the chase. For the cat, the problem usually is, the Sharpei slept at the house, and would cut the cat off. The less said, the better, as cat-lives will be spent. Sometimes there are kittens on the roof, and we have to get them and rear them. b - would be the bottom, which in this case was a table. There were kittens, and we did hear them. One was in front of the house, and the other on the other side. As I stepped out of the house, I saw the kitten flying past me. The Terrier saw him as well, and with a short-head, I beat the Terrier to the kitten. Now I have a baby kitten to feed. The other kitten went silent, I presume the mother found it and all is well. One more or less mouth to feed, no problem. |
| It has been 21 days since my last blog - sounds like a confession...... It is true, time surely flies. Since the beginning of this year, it has rained, rained, and rained some more, and the grass is as high .... well, the cows backs are visible above the grass. Other strange and unusual things have happened, nothing so strange that it bears mentioning. We have zillions of frogs - small frogs, some so tiny that they would fit on the pinkie's nail, spread out, eagle wise. Also there are a few types of the small sizes. I am trying to photograph them, then i find out the limitations of either my camera, myself, or both of us. We cannot get a decent photo.  Sometimes one should just sit back and weather the storm, and the sea will calm itself. Only problem is, I get motion-sickness easily, and to keep your mouth shut under those conditions ..... I tend to get verbal diarrhea. |
| And tomorrow we rest! Now that part I heard clearly. Tomorrow we rest, and the day after that; and the next day; and the next; and ..... okay, I am on retirement - I may.  Not with the blessing of my 'Better Half'.  Today you work, tomorrow you rest, be happy in your work.  RESOLUTIONS: Top 10 New Year's Resolutions (Albrecht Powell, About.com Guide) 1) Spend more time with family and friends. 2) Fit in fitness. 3) Tame the bulge. 4) Quit Smoking. 5) Enjoy life more. 6) Quit drinking. 7) Get out of debt. 8) Learn something new. 9) Help others. 10) Get organized. (This is not my work, and I have adapted it to 'headings only'. Do read the full article.) My list differs in certain aspects, simply, I have already made a few adjustments, as time went by. 1) Get to know my computer more. 2) Get to live in peace with yourself. I do not smoke or drink anymore. Think of all the fun I am missing and the money I am saving. People would always tell me how much I was wasting on drinking and smoking. Know how much I have saved 'cause I stopped these bad, unhealthy, expensive, habits ? Nothing, not one single cent! Okay, my lungs and kidneys are happier. As for the other resolutions, they are HABITS to acquire, for a better, fuller life. I fully endorse them all. To all - GO WELL - HAVE FUN - ENJOY - and do the best with what you have.  |
| HAPPY NEW YEAR ! May this year, for some strange reason, be better than the last year. Now why would this year be better than last year, what would cause it to have improved. It was not too hot last year, it sucked a bit, there were a few reasons why. I cannot remember why. It started with a whimper, last year that is, and ended in a whisper. It will be better, 'cause we learned so much more, we are so much wiser, we saved up, we learned to be more tolerant and patient. And the lessons we were taught - we have taken to heart.  We did ? |
| An old joke - jokes are funny or at least they are supposed to be. Anyway, an old joke. A mother skunk had an identical set of twin skunk babies. She named them In and Out. Now, when In was in, Out was out. Sometimes, when In was out, Out was in. It even happened that In was in and Out was in as well, or Out was out and In was out as well. Never did their mother make a mistake about who was in or who was out. The neighbor asked how the mother managed; and her reply: - " In stinks." This came about, Peppi le Poo got a friend today. A story in its own right. A rose by any other name would still stink like a rose. This story is available on site in a slightly different version as this. |
| How old am I? - what a question! How does it feel to be that old? - feel what? Some-one asked me that question. How do you answer such a question, when you are still having a problem with growing up. To be old, indicates maturity, maturity indicates responsibility. When you are mature, you are old. Therefore ..... I am not old. or is that the inner child wanting to get out again? To be old, is to know more than most, and understand less than most. |
| I can hardly believe it, my last posting was on the 7th of November and here I am; thinking of canceling X-Mas; due to a lack of interest. The sale was canceled, much wiser and even a bit poorer. Well, that is why they have lawyers..... heaven help! And to think I was right, and correct. Ain't I just a pain in the lower regions! Toilet paper should be this color, and nappies. They tell me colors are bad for one. How can that be, when one mix up a lot of colors, one gets white .... and white's okay? Someone is telling a story. Still looking for another car, already I have this new outlook, and so far..... I should have had this before I got married, I would still be courting. Would the kids be illegitimate then ? Got new books (new - as in have not had them before) which promises more enjoyable reading. Will the New Year bring old promises, will have to wait and see. As the new ones are still the old ones. |
