What to do?

"The greatest expression of power is control."    -Lexus commercial

A lot of people side with the saying of Grantland Rice, so they say, but I have to agree with the minority of people who side with the saying of Henry Russel (Red) Sanders.  There is no substitute for progress toward your goals with the result of getting what you want in my opinion.  If you want to eat you have to hunt, or gather, or farm [or go to a convenience store, or a supermarket, or a restaurant :) ].  You reap what you sow.  Seed time and harvest time.  Returns multiplied.  Hint of a conspiracy?  Holy Smokes...!

Look closely.  The guy with the feather on the back of his head surely got the short end of the stick!

POSSIBILITIES!

Miracles.  Every-day miracles.  The mundane that we take for granted.  Voodoo.  Two Girls, One Cup.  Craziness.  The not so insane.  Method to the madness.  Being weird.  The not so weird weird.  Wild & loose, that's how it's got to be, that's the only kind of dame, that appeals to me.  Jenny.  867-5309.  +++++

What you know 'bout this?

I don't remember the make or the year, but it is a Rambler.  The owner said it has 38,000 miles on it.  It is garage kept & it looks like it just came off the assembly line.  It would be kind of small for me but I appreciate  & like it none the less.

FYI
A while back I said that I couldn't load my photos from my phone to my computer.  Well, it turns out that I have to use bluetooth technology to transfer my photos to my computer by way of a bluetooth adapter.  I got one from Amazon dot com and it works.  It took me a little while to install the driver (by way of CD) & figure it out, but once I understood it the photos downloaded easily.  Thank you Tracphone customer service person, HHGregg sales guy, and Amazon dot com.

P.S.  The adapter cost more than the phone!

Phone Adventure Part 2 :)

I visit my local church thrift store today as I do most Saturdays and "BAM", there is another cordless phone.  I decide what the hell.  I buy it for the greater sum of USD $2.00.  It came with a hand-set, a base, and a power cord.  I get it home and low and behold, it works well.  I didn't even have to buy a new battery thank God.  Panasonic 2.4 GHz Gigarange Model # KX-TG200-B was a steal-deal (even though it was God who really gave it to me)!  I got lucky for the grand total of $14.00.  Yes.  An old phone but a good "throw around phone".

Phone Adventure :)

I'm at my local church thrift store one Saturday and I see a  used cordless phone for sale.  I could use a phone for the other side of the apartment and/or bathroom I say to my self, so I get it.  There was a hand-set, a base, a power cord, and a battery.  It was old but good enough for the position of "throw around phone".  This Vtech, VT-9108 cost me the grand sum of one U. S. dollar with no tax.  It was a steal-deal imo, or so I thought.  I get it home and attempt to charge it up for use.  After plugging it in, I hear bubbling sounds and clicking sounds from the hand-set.  Upon closer inspection I find that the bubbling sounds are coming from the Radio Shack replacement battery.  I decide to stop the charge up because that puppy just might blow up!  I go online & find Batterymart dot com (excellent service, great prices, 5 out of five stars) and order a new replacement battery at a cost of USD $10.94 with shipping.  After a five day wait the battery arrives by USPS.  I open up the packages take out the battery and start the charging process.  The bubbling is no longer there but the clicking is louder.  I examine, fumble, and manipulate the unit to stop the sound.  It doesn't stop.  I think maybe this is the way it works so I let it charge up over night trying to sleep with the clicking sound.  The next day the phone doesn't work.

Thought interruption:  Just got a call from my father.  One of his close friends passed away yesterday.  She was cremated today.  Feeling a little bummed because she was my friend too but she had been sick for a while now so it was just her time I guess.  May God bless her soul.  

Thought resumption:  I'm a little handy in this area so I get some of my tools & disassemble the hand-set housing.  I clean off the terminals & lightly wipe the electronic components off.  I open up the base & do the same thing.  The phone still doesn't work and the clicking sound is still there.  I work on the phone for a couple more hours trying different things to no avail.  It was a wash.  I terminated my efforts to revive the Vtech & stashed it in a cabinet.  Oh well, maybe I'll "get lucky" next time if there is a next time.

Bruce Banner smokes

Hello everyone.

Why is it that when I have cheap cigarettes, the ones that cost a little less than six dollars a pack, no one asks for any?  When I travel with my Shields or Pyramids, I don't get the time of day from anybody but the second I "upscale" to good smokes, people ask me for some left and right!!  When I have my Winstons, I'm almost the life of the party!!  They're just too expensive even at six dollars a pack.  Because I don't give anymore out when asked, not many people talk to me when I go out to smoke when I'm at my mother's place.  I feel a little bad but then I don't ask anybody for cigs when I'm out so I'm mostly cool with my behavior.  BTW, I recently bought a Hulk doll action figure from a thrift store for less than 40 cents which would probably go for a little < US$21.00 if bought new.  For the Love of God, why does the good stuff cost so much and why does everyone want some of it??  The Winstons cost more than eight times Mr. Greenman.  If thrift stores sold cigarettes, this would truly be a better world!!  Yeah, cigs are bad but they are so good??!!!!!!!!!
