"What do you get if you divide a pumpkin's circumference by its diameter? Pumpkin pi (da da thump).
As we crash headlong into the "Fall of the Leaf" (thank you ancient Britain) ponder that, by average, the cost of Halloween went up $11 to $114.45 per person! What the hell are we buying? Champagne truffles for the neighborhood and renting real ghosts? Like the horror show of our country right now is not scary enough. Tariffs be damned I say and spring for that Vietnamese-made "Wicked" costume. Nothing says 'Merica than southern Asia's take on little blonde and green girls. I vote for a home-grown "Old Spice" look for men wearing nothing but a towel and a whole lotta .... nice smell.
SPEAKING OF SPOOKY Why do we care more about a crazy murderer's political slant than why we continue to make it easier to provide guns and IEDs to mentally ill dudes? Meanwhile, the local "gun and knife" show goes on notwithstanding a horrendous attack on a church. But I'm sure all the new purchases and purchasers will be registered and documented.
Hogshead and marmie had a big party and nobody laughed or clapped much to donjulious' dismay. Even when they said they were going to fire all the non-white, female and fat soldiers (to their faces) plus they can practice war games on American towns. Who wouldn't want to be part of all that macho crap? Word to the unwise. Loyalty to the chief changes based on whim so don't think you're not vulnerable all you fawning cabinet lapdogs. Right down to the repubs who would rather shut down the government than give Americans health care. You will not be rewarded. You are just more cannon fodder reserved for a later date. Did you forget you got all three branches of gov-this one's on you. History will not be kind.
TWO IN THE BAG Latest poddie is playing and I actually recorded the November program last week-yay. As the program was ergonomics and back injuries, we got to tell stories. I mentioned working in a bakery in the summer paired with a dude a foot taller loading and unloading trays from an oven. Nasty hot work, but I didn't show any weakness as I'm sure he was not happy to be yoked to this short little female ox. One job I particularly worried about was digging little angel food cakes out of the pans using my bare hands-no gloves. Their rough edges dug into the cuticles, but apparently nobody died, and I did wash my hands. The long shifts and constant and overwhelming "bakery" aromas made it impossible to eat anything, so I usually crashed on my lunch break and drank two cartons of milk for the 8-10-or 12 hour shift. I was certainly at my fighting weight that summer.
December podcast is devoted to MIOSHA probably rounding out their big 50th anniversary, and hopefully, not their last. Then I'm going to tap a security specialist who is dying to be famous. Can't wait to hear what we can do to protect ourselves when schools, restaurants, stores, churches, parades, worksites are basically shooting ranges anymore.
WEEK AHEAD Two medical appointments this week. First my 6-month check-up of which anymore consists of reviewing blood tests and arguing meds, checking lungs and heart. Kind of a whole lot of nothing. Next day is the orthopedic consult on whether I keep my hip or not. Though basically they won't be happy until my spine is held together with gorilla glue and duct tape. The back surgeon called it plates and screws, but I know they always take the cheap route.
After a whole morning with the eye surgeon the OH finally got approved for the second cataract surgery, so he's ecstatic. Like being able to see is such a big deal. Of course, I predict the furniture we've been waiting for the last six weeks will probably show up necessitating a coordinated move of old stuff to the lake and new stuff being delivered. Then we have to move the pontoon to storage before the ice hits. Nothing precipitates a bunch of must-do chores than a surgery date so I'm assuming a lot of juggling over the next couple of weeks. If not, hopefully the furniture switcharoo also occurs before the snow hits.
JP is getting his "sea" legs on the bowling league. He was responsible for all four points won Saturday. However, he was the only one who showed up out of four facing another 3 down 1 up team. Until football season is over, they keep playing short. But he was over average so all good. Little listeners. He took me aside to mention his history/social studies teacher may be a trump guy as he will make remarks about good things massa t does. I said just go with the flow which is sad as the non-mags have to be the adult in the room.
What do you call someone who imitates your Fall decor - a cornucopier.😆Peace/stay strong.💚💙💛
