Granny in line

Attention Walmart shoppers
My Granny in line
Please be kind
Don't you pop'er

Granny old
She can be slow
Don't knock her down
When she in stoe

Yes times she drool
But Granny be cool
She ain't no fool
Knows her tools

She just went in
Looking for a quarter inch ratchet
Be nice to Granny
She carries a hatchet




What Lester would say

As Lester Maddox 75th Governor of the Great State of Georgia would say...phooey!.

G R E E D Y

Watching the news about shoppers on Black Friday who got a bit carried away.

It reminded me of people in 3rd world countries scrambling,fighting for a bag of rice.

Not fighting for food here but it's TV's.

Has it got to the point Americans are that desperate?

Or maybe the word is G R E E DY.

Bah hum bug

Christmas songs on Willie's radio...not exactly tuned to station...bah hum bug.

Make you fat

Cornbread and butter beans
Food I like
Rasied on that
Make you fat

Butter milk cornbread
Oh so good
Eating like that
Make you fat

Taters and biscuits
Add some onions
Nothing wrong that
Make you fat

Strick o lean
Fried fat back
Good know that
Make you fat

Cook with lard
Simple and pure
We know that
Make you fat

I B Fat
Be my name
But guess what
You know that

Happy Black Friday!

Happy Black Friday!

Did you get up early this morning and go stand in line at the store of your choice in the freezing cold hoping for a bargain?

If you did good for you.

If you didn't good for you.

If you did that means you are feeling good I hope and had some expendable cash.Maybe you just liked the atmosphere,comradely or just the fun of it all.

If you didn't maybe it was just to cold,over did it yesterday or going to do it the high tech way of shopping online.

When thinking about this story it was going to be the negative part of Black Friday but after much thought no.Why be negative,let people enjoy what they enjoy.

I just hope Granny didn't act up and got into a fist fight.

You win with the bargains the stores win with all the customers.

All I will say is have fun and if by chance there is any hot chocolate left in your thermos bottle bring it on by room 31 SW.We like hot chocolate.

Thank you in advance.

No big deal

Holidays are no big deal for me.

Happy seeing them get here happier when they go.

Being alone is no big deal either.

Spent a few holidays going through the drive thru at some hamburer place.

No big deal.

Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving Day
Food friends families
Turkey and dressing
Count your blessings

Think of those
Many less fortunate
Those who are
Sick hungry old

Be so thankful
God blessing you
Take nothing granted
Thankful not disenchanted

Some may

Green congealed salad
Makes me happy
Some may think
I  be daffy

Birds

22 degrees when I woke up.

Something was noticed.

No hawks flying,no crows fussing,no birds seen or heard at all.

Just 2 lone cranes flying toward the rising sun.


Green bean casserole

Happy green bean casserole day to you!

Let's talk about this green bean casserole stuff.

I will get to the point real quick.

Don't like it never have never will.

Why waste a can of french fried onions on green bean casserole.

Just give me that can of french fried onions.

My Momma was smart she never made green bean casserole.She spared me from that traumatic experience  of eating anything made with cream of mushroom soup.

I do have a hankering for lime green congealed salad.

Thank you Momma.

Down here in Georgia

Cold and and windy but only a snowflake or two seen.

Down here in Georgia a single snowflake seen it's an official go on the record qualifies as a snow.

Always tomorrow.

Snow patrol

I'm on snow patrol 2013...blinds open...looking...hoping...come on snow.

Call me Johnny

I've been thinking.

Yeah scary huh.

Talking with my roomie Mr B about each day something is failing us as we age.Hearing,sight,memory things like that.

Mr. B is 96 but very sharp in his thinking.Hard of hearing and blind he is but mind is sharp.

Thinking of that second childhood we are suppose to enter as we age.

Some might say I  never out grew the first one.

Bring mine on.I'm so ready for it.Not going to fight it going with the flo.

My first childhood could have been better so this one I'm enjoying.

I was the obedient courteous child first time around worrying about everything some things real some imagined.

This time I will be my alter ego bad boy self.

Not really but I plan on enjoying this one.

No one to worry about always conjuring up the worst possible scenario.

Carefree that will be me this time around.

This second childhood thing not all that bad.

Hey you can even call me Johnny!

Be the show

Drive you insane

Redneck romantic rhyme

Till I have to go

Confused and bewildered
Old and sick
Why am I here
Please don't cuss or kick

Once you loved me
Your Mom your Dad
Sometimes I don't know
Why I act bad

Look into my eyes
I'm still there
When thinking clear
I wonder if you care

I know
When thinking clear
I'm a burden
I'm sorry dear

This disease
Has taken me away
Never did I want
To be this way

They call it Alzheimer's
Some just dementia
Both the same
I call it mental pain

I'm still me
I love you so
Please love me
Till I have to go






Mudville

I see no joy in Mudville tonight.

My heart is burden and heavy with thoughts.


Word

Word for today...paientence.

Sky gray

Sunday morn
Windy cold day
I'm blue sky gray
Feel all alone

Here is your hug

To hug or not to hug.

I was kidding a friend here at the old folks home telling him I was going to give him a big ole country boy hug.

Nope,won't do that,out of the question he said.

That got me thinking.

I knew my parents loved me but showing affection was something we never did.No kisses no hugs no I love you that I can remember.

It was something never done.

I know Momma was raised the same way.I've heard her brother question why they never where showed affection.

Things just run in families I guess and it gets passed down generation to generation.

Maybe a lot of family problems could be solved with more hugs,more reassuring of that you are loved.

The night Daddy died,just me and him in the room,I did something never had I done.

I hugged his neck,told him I love him and kissed him on his forehead.

He nodded his head,eyes closed he said he was sorry,sorry about what I never knew,I told him he had nothing to be sorry for.

He went into a coma and died a few hours later.

I almost waited to long to tell him I loved him.

I would not hesitate to hug him if he walked into this room right now.

By the way I did give my friend a hug this afternoon.


Fear

Death I don't fear so much...just getting to that point scares me.

Skipping around like...

More football follies.

NFL ref fined for talking badly to player.

Player fined for talking bad to another and hurting his feelings.

College player flagged for dangerous play.He dived over the huddle on a play.

More slipping and sliding so they won't get tackled by Big Bubba.

More of that skipping around like little 6 year old girls.

What would the old timey players think of all this I wonder?

Dope money

I heard Momma and Daddy ask each other this many times.

Got any dope money?

Yes dope money for the dope wagon.

Before you whip out your phones and start dialing Crime Stoppers let me explain.

All is good,calm down.

Years ago in the cotton mills there was a man who pushed a wagon through the mill offering snacks and Cokes.

At one time Co Colas had small amounts of get this cocaine.They where called dope.

So the named given to the wagon with snacks was called the dope wagon and your lunch money was called dope money.

Around the old folks home they have just a snack cart with Cokes,juice,crackers and such.

But several times a day the nurses push around what I could call a real dope wagon.It has the resident's medications on it.

So there you have it.

Momma and Daddy's dope money for the dope wagon.

Banana sandwich

After all that good food of yesterday I'm eating simple.

Yesterday I had collards,corn,green beans,peas,turkey,dressing,deviled eggs,potato salad,sweet potato and topped it off with real home made banana pudding.

No wonder I.B.Fat.

Today I want a banana sandwich with mayo.Simple,maybe tater chips on side.

Don't want an Elvis type banana sandwich.Hold the bacon,jelly,peanut butter and don't fry mine.

All I need to finish out my meal is an icy pitcher of cherry Kool Aid.


Youse guys

They cover the South like dew.

Yankees.

I swear there are more now in Georgia than when Mr Sherman took that slow march from Atlanta over to Savannah.

But not to worry.

We loves youse guys now let's go drink a soda pop!

East Newnan Elementary,Newnan,Georgia,me,11 years old,6th grade,Ms Hatchet's class,2 pm.

50 years ago.

Principal Hemphill came over the loud speaker telling us that President John Kennedy had been shot and was dead.

It turned off cold and rainy that day.

Watching the black and white TV as Air Force 1 brought the body of the President back to Washington,D.C.

Mrs Kennedy wearing that same blood splattered dress of earlier in the day.

An ambulance backed up to Air Force 1 and the casket was lowered and loaded.

Still vivid in my memory just like it was happening again.

Some days are burnt into your memory forever.

This was one of them.

More country sayings:

More country sayings:

1.Deef(hard of hearing).

How about that.

Finally I've been doing something right in my life.

Green peanuts,raw peanuts,boiled peanuts,parched peanuts,peanuts in a jar,peanuts in a can,peanuts with salt,peanuts with no salt,peanuts any kind any way.

Bring them on.

Snug and smug

I have nothing to prove.Not trying to impress anyone.

Call me crazy,nuts,wacko I don't worry about it.

For me I  know whats what.

I am smart enough to know all I don't know or understand.

But I am smart enough to be open to things that just might be.

Listen to this and make up your own mind.Don't be a sheep and follow what people want you to follow.

Think for yourself.

Just maybe there is a snowball's chance that we are not alone.

Don't be so snug and smug thinking we be all there is.

DAWGG

Woo Hoo.

BBQ sandwich for lunch.Ain't going to complain.Meat loaf for supper.

Got enough nerve to wear my Auburn tigers t shirt yesterday.After that Auburn Georgia football game of Saturday I thought it best waiting a few days before wearing it.Didn't want to make the natives to mad.

Just had a student nurse from Auburn come in and give me my insulin shot and aspirin and I could not resit making a smart butt comment about that game.Found out she is excuse my language... a Yankee.I was nice my Southern Brethren and didn't even give her the test.You know the test where you ask them what you call those 4 legged fuzzy things with a wagging tail that go bow wow.If they don't answer DAWGG you know we pray for'em.

Helps us Lord they multiplying.


So much for...

Woke up to the sound of a cat or at first I thought it was.

It was a little old Lady screaming stop that.Most likely they where giving her morning meds.

The sounds of someone dragging chairs across a hard floor that sound like fingernails scrapping a black board.

Mr Paul calling for Margret who I guess was his wife.He is 85 and is from NC.I asked him if Billy the famous preacher was any kin and he said yes they where brothers.Really I think not but Mr Paul does have a way with words.Cuss words.

Willie is moaning waiting for his pain pill.

Someone is on the pa system but way down here I can't understand what they are saying.

Sounds of the old folks home.

So much for sleeping late.

Does to me

That's a full moon
Chain me to a tree
You don't want to see

Hint for folks to bake
Life be bleak
When so sweet

Dr Pepper be great

Life be bleak
When so sweet

Snickers peanut nut butter
They make heart flutter
Life be bleak
When so sweet

Life of diabetic
Not trying to be poetic
Life be bleak
When so sweet

Night Nurse Teresa B

Ms Amber 
Thank you so much
I don't think
That food will make it to lunch

Will just have to wear off



Four years old,Standing Rock,Alabama.

Someone decided the road in front of the house needed a coat of tar on it.So my curious four year old mind was intrigued watching the paving of the road on that hot summers day.

What else was there to do but play in a ditch with my faithful loyal loving dog Lassie or swing on the swing set.

In my mind I remember thinking when those folks leave I'm going to try out that road on my training wheel equipped bicycle.I being a country child knew only of dusty red clay roads.This was a real paved road.

They left.

I did.

The road was still bubbly hot and sticky and thinking to myself dirt roads rode better.

I seen a car on the fresh tarred road headed for me.

I might add at four years old I wasn't the brightest star in the sky and why I did this next I have no excuse.

The car scared me.

Jumping off the bike into the hot bubbly tar seemed like the thing to do at the time.

It wasn't.

My little ole self was covered head to toe with that sticky tar.

Poor Momma.

Off to the tub or big galvanized tub I'm not sure she rushed me.

Tar is like bubble gum when it gets into your hair and when it hardens on your body lets just say it ain't easy to remove.

My tow head was full of harden tar along with my body parts not covered by clothes.

Momma scrubbed and scrubbed and soap wasn't working so she use Tide washing powders.

I can still hear her say some of this will just have to wear off.

I learn a lesson that day,don't ride your bike on a freshly tared road and by all means stay on the bike don't jump off it.

Already knew that

Rejoice fat boys!

Good news my partners of the round food table.

Just read something that will make us happy.

Chocolate helps prevent belly fat and obesity.

Nuts of all kind help prevent some types of cancers.

Cookies,oatmeal cookies what they do that's good I don't know but they are good for you.

If I live long enough the day will come when Big Mac's and those delicious french fries and a Dr Pepper will turn out to be health food after all.

But us fat boys already knew that.

Cornbread fed

Heard a new term this morning.

Cornbread fed.

That's me cornbread fed and raised.

Till this very day cornbread with my peas and beans,in vegetable soup and chili.

A slice of hot out the stove cornbread with mayo on it or butter.

Buttermilk and cornbread,sweet milk and cornbread.

Fried cornbread,flitters,fritters I'd rather have a stack of Johnny cakes with butter and syrup than pancakes any day.

Mexican cornbread,cornbread muffins,cornbread sticks,hush puppies.

Cornbread.

Van down by the river

Is it just me or can you see it also?

Mayor Ford from Toronto reminds me so much of Chris Farley former member of the Saturday Night Live cast who died a few years ago.

When watching Mayor Ford rant and rave in that video while under the influence of something I swear it's Chris Farley doing that van down by the river skit.

Sunday, November 17, 2013

Anyway

Looks like rain
That's ok
Staying inside today
Anyway

Nothing to do
Lay here and think
Mind on brink
Anyway

Thinking of past
Things didn't last
Forgetting things forgot
Anyway

Don't tell

Kitchen made mistake...real sausage at breakfast...hope same tomorrow...our secret...don't tell.

My big ole...

Me and my big ole dish.

Back in the early 80's I read,studied about and finally got one of the things.

The UPS man(love seeing that big brown truck stopping in front of the house bringing new play things)brought about what seemed like a dozen pasteboard boxes on a bright sunny hot summers day.

I was in business.

My neighbor Raymond who was like my second Daddy and myself got to work.

Putting that 12 foot dish together went smoothly.After a days time it was done.

Next digging the hole.3 foot deep 3 foot wide with a big black iron pole set in the center and filled with sack after sack of concrete.Make sure the pole is leveled and true and wait.A couple of days passed by and it was time.Time to set the dish on the pole.Have help with this step those mesh dishes are heavy.

Time for the big show.

With TV,satellite receiver on a picnic table we where ready to tune in the birds.Wish it was that simple there are a few adjustments here and there to be done,

Well doggy as Jed Clampett would say after a little fiddling I found a satellite.

A Mexican satellite.

From 23,000 miles up in the sky over the equator I was watching TV.

At the time there where 18 C band satellites that where available.

With my copy of Oribt in hand I was like a kid on Christmas Day.Watching this and that TV from here to yonder,TV news behind the scenes watching Dan Rather getting ready,down on Spacenet 1 channel 17 where folks must have been acrobats because they where doing things to this day I ain't figured out what they where doing,24 hours of TV watching pleasure.

Yes I did like that big ole dish.

Dream pretty

Day is over
Night is here
Darkness prevails
Nothing to fear

Sleep tight
Dream pretty
Don't you worry
Everything alright

See you in the morn
Our day will begin
Remember this
You are my friend

Miss thee

Little ham key
How I  miss thee
Dit dot
Fun we had alot

Blessed

Blessed more than I deserve.

Goony Bird

It's official.

Around the old folks home I'm called Big Head John Haynes.

On my knee pain patch last night there it was my initials BHJH.

They will come around today and give me a new resident ID bracelet with BHJH on it I'm sure.

As a kid my ears where unproportionally big for my head.They flapped like wings when the wind blew.At times I could fly if the wind was strong enough really I could but only for a few feet.

I was so thrilled and happy when my head grew matching my ears.

Big Head John sounds so much better than being called Goony Bird because of my big ears as a kid.

Where's Andy

Where's Andy
Dead or alive
Is it a ho-ax
Will Andy come back

Yonder

Fear death
Life I only know
Sure of beyond
That Heavenly home

What holds me here
Often I wonder
What I read
Better over yonder



My new favorite TV commercial


Fireplace

Fireplace
On winters day
Smell of smoke
Great I say

Take me back
Another time
Life way was
Everything fine

Simple times
Stress less
All that done
Was for best

Come night
Light the room
Peaceful be
No fright




Dark skeletons

Some things you will never know about me.

Nobody will and I'm not telling.

Just me and God know the truth,the whole truth nothing but the truth.

Nothing we do in our life is really hid.

Sooner or later all is known.

If we make it out this life un caught the book of life shall reveal all.

I have secrets,dark skeletons I hope that never see the light of day and I'm sure you do also.

The moral of the story is this...I can't judge anyone,you shouldn't try to judge anyone only God has the authority to do that.

Gosh darn

I'm in such a gosh darn cheerful mood today.

My subject shall be about puppies,kitties, flowers blooming in spring.

No more of this depressing real subjects of people starving,the Philippines wiped out by a typhoon then struck by a earthquake.No more talk hush your mouth how governments don't exactly tell the truth on all matters.Everything is fine just like in the Wizard of Oz.

No more doubtful thinking from me all is good,innocent and pure.

Everyone tells the truth no one lies and little children are safe and their bellies are full of food.

People of all colors are treated the same.

The world is perfect full of God's love and we each show that love to those around us.

No more of that real life stuff will I write about.

Trying

I'm being nice today...

Eating ice cream in the dark

Interesting night.

Power went off a bit after 7 pm just as I was being wisked away to the shower.Had to turn around and cancel that escapade.

So I'm laying in bed on my back eating chocolate ice cream in the dark.Think I  did good no real big mess that I  can see.It is a talent...eating ice cream in the dark...laying flat on your back...yay me...I have a talent.

By the way yesterday was an excellent food day.

Country fried steak sandwich with fries and to top it off someone brought me a Whopper and onion rings.I ate the onion rings but gave the Whopper away.

And thank God for electricity ...sure miss it when it's gone.

Home home in LaGrange (edited from 7/2013)

Home home in LaGrange
Where the Olympians trained
Home home in LaGrange
And the workers do strain

Home home in LaGrange
Don't disagree with those who run the town
Home home in LaGrange
They run you into the ground

Home home in LaGrange
Does City Hall care at all 
Home home in LaGrange
They just kick'ya in the b....

Home home in LaGrange
If you don't live on Vernon you don't belong
Home home in LaGrange
Where most don't know whats really going on

Home home in LaGrange
Where crooks and thieves abound
Home  home in LaGrange
And that's just downtown

No help at all

I need a rest.

Worked hard all last night unloading a 18 wheeler truck with no help.

Not only did I unload the truck I drove it to be unloaded with no help.

Not only did I drive the truck to be unloaded I parked it in an almost impossible spot with no help I may add.

I was so sleepy unloading that truck by myself with no help I might add I just wanted to take a nap but I had no help and could not.

I guess you have figured out without any help I may add this was all just a dream.

Will share

Have jar of peanut butter...searching for woman with soda crackers...will share.

Cart before the horse

Why not give us old folks here at the home a medium size glass of red wine at bed time instead of those awful narcotics.

It's a natural product.Helps calm the savage beast so restful slumber is possible.Washes away that bad cholesterol and helps your heart.

I write this as I'm sipping on iced apple juice which contains arsenic.

Sometimes we do put the cart before the horse.

Come for thee

The big black Caddy just slowly drove by
It did stop oh my oh my
Someone has been set free
One day it will come for thee






Thanks to the Monkees for inspiration

Here we come
Walking down your street
Like to have fun with
Everyone we meet

Hey hey we are politicians
We just like messing around
You better be careful now
We are in your town

Everything we say is true
If the price is right
Many things we can
Do for you

Hey hey we are politicians
We just like messing around
You better be careful now
We are in your town

If I'm caught in a lie
Turn the tables I will
It's just politics
I will deny

Hey hey we are politicians
We just like messing around
You better be careful now
We are in your in town

The problem is

Let me enlighten everyone with my Southern wisdom.

The problem is not us in wheelchairs or with disabilities.

The problem is the way people perceive us.


I never have

Very compassionate for the Pope to greet people in wheelchairs.

He told them not to be ashamed of their disability.

Thank you but I never have.

Chicken Little

Chicken Little was right...the sky is falling...least a satellite is...where and when no one knows...invest in a crash helmet.

Ban this

Just ban everything...food...cars...guns...just drink water and breathe air...wait that will kill ya also!

Big Poppa at his best

Doughnuts,microwave popcorn and frozen pizza I like.

They have trans fats along with many other foods I enjoy.

The government don't like trans fats.

The government(FDA) going to ban trans fats in food.

Big Poppa at his best.

Telling grown folks what and not to eat.

There is a group of folks out there that are on a power ego trip that just want to be bossy pushy know it all do as I say not as I do types.

I've seen video of those White House suppers that they put on for all those foreign leaders.

Fillet minion and sushi and such.

You politicians eat that.

Let me eat my frozen pizza and microwave popcorn

Breaking news!

Breaking news!

WSB TV Atlanta ,Georgia has the water pipe breaks covered.

From the air and with ground troops they are on the scene.

From a gusher to a trickle.


Knock to the head with a big stick.

This NFL bulling thing.

All bulling problems I have a cure for it.

When I was a little boy about 8 years old there was a neighborhood kid about 14 who bullied me.

I was faster so I could out run him and he never caught me.His bulling was just verbal calling me every cuss word that a 14 year old knew.

Daddy told me what to do.

He said get you a big stick,go sit on the hood of the car,wait on him.

Sure enough I did as Daddy said,got me a stick,sat on the hood of the car and waited.

Here he came down Juniper Street just a cussing me while riding his bike.

I waited till he got up close to me.

I took care of the problem.

I knocked him off his bike with that stick.

Problem solved.

Never again did he bully me.

Daddy was smart.

That is all it takes with most bullies.

One knock to the head with a big stick.

That devilish mean streak

I think I'm a bad man.

Maybe I just have a devilish mean streak in me.

At times I almost give in to this uncontrollable urge I have.

Let me explain.

When so called able bodied people tower over me in my wheelchair and they seem to be patronizing me just because I am at times I feel like putting on a little show.

I want to start doing my southernized hand signal talking pretending I can't hear them.

I so want to reassure them with my middle finger that they are number 1 in my book.

I want to grin and drool like I'm in another world or least another zip code from them.

I want them to have that grin on their face that says shoot fire I'm so glad I ain't this dude.

Yes I could go on but won't.

That mean devilish streak might take over.

Rough type of life

From the hills of Alabama
Granddaddy made his living
Making that mash
That was good for sipping

Against the law
What he did
Rough type of life
He got shot in the jaw

Loved his dogs
Coon hunter he be
Answered to no one
Granddaddy was free

Granddaddy he lives in me
I'm his grandson that is true
Granddaddy knew you only a while
I do miss you


I see

I see
A tree
Yellow leaves
Falling free

I see
Cloudy sky
And hawks
Flying high

I see
Friends too
Blessed I
For you

I see
God's love
All around
Love abounds

Bits and pieces

Bits and pieces from the news.

6 ft 325 pound football player claims he was bullied by another player.

Should have seen that one coming the way theses pro players been sissifing up the game lately.

Man prints T shirts.

Has NSA(national security agency)emblem on front.

Motto is we be peeping while you be sleeping.The only government agency that really listens to you.

NSA is mad.Gonna sue man.

Wish I had thought up that.

Zombified

Your mission for today if you choose to accept.

Your quest.

Search for life.Not intelligent life but just life.Search for life that hasn't been Zombified.

I see people walking around with this look like there has been an error in their programming  like they just received an 404 error code.

Oh.

I forgot.

It's election day.

People are Bestoinkified.

Never mind.

Old Big Head

Some around here call me Old Big Head John Haynes.

Here I'm caught getting ready for another day of mixing,mingling and socializing.

Double standard

Why can Kanye West wear this battle flag of the Confederacy on his jacket sleeve and be touted as as doing something good?

Why if I wear this battle flag of the Confederacy on my jacket sleeve I'm touted as a racist?

Double standard.

Another day

Watching my life pass by.

Watching traffic on busy US 29.

Watching the sky for what who knows.

Watching the trees blow in the wind.

Listening to the sounds of the home.

Listening to Mr B sing old gospel songs.

Listening to Polly Polly Polly say help me help me help me.

Listening to sounds of meds being crushed up.

Listening to the repeated questions of residents.

Another day in the life of resident 31 B.

I'm in love

I'm in love.

Promised myself never again would this happen.

It was sudden,unexpected.

There she was.

At supper tonight.

Dark ,sweet, beautiful.

Her name is Sara,Sara Lee.

The best double chocolate cake I've ever had.








Tweety mood

I'm in a Tweety Bird mood today.

It's much easier finding the bad in a situation than the good.

Rude

Walker Texas Ranger Junior is up and at it.

From 7am till 7pm Walker Junior is commander of the TV remote out in the commons area.

Same boring channel same boring reruns day in day out.

The other day a new elderly gent resident had the remote and Walker Junior came cruising up slowly sitting behind us mumbling Walker Texas Ranger turn it.

He was ignored.

But like all spoiled children he made his way over to the new man held out his hand mumbling remote.

Now Walker Texas Junior is old enough not to act this way and not old enough to act this way if you get my drift.

I give him his way just because I know he is in pain and maybe if there is a thing called seniority he has it since he has been here a long time.

But that is no excuse for being rude as Hell.

Make it interesting

Football is for sissies.

There I think it so I said it.

I'll tell you why this is so.

Have you watched a pro game lately?

Lately watching them big ole boys playing this I have noticed.

They skip around like 6 year old girls playing hop scotch,can't keep their hands to their self,fall down so they won't get tackled and run the ball or throw it out of bounds instead of being a man and facing up to big neck breaker Bubba who loves pain,giving pain to others I should say.

Now come to the year 2013.

Just make pro football a game of tag.

Players are being fined each week for tackling others forgive me"to rough".

Players are getting hurt,it's football,players are getting injured,it's football,players are getting their feelings and egos smashed,it's football,you get the picture.

So add the lingerie girls to the pro football league.

If they going to play tag football least make it interesting.

Hell is hot

Today I have many ideas running through my head.

None are related so instead of writing separate stories for each I will combine them.

Let's get the show on the road.

First off this is on my mind.The old folks home is in a way just a dumping ground.Loved ones,family,friends that you can't deal with or want around you just dump in these places.Like we do unwanted dogs and cats that are dumped on the side of the road and you speed off quickly cause it's wrong and you are to ashamed of what you did and can't look back at their wondering what did I do sad eyes.

Some family members are still loyal and visit their aged parents,sick loved ones and haven't deserted their friends.

To all the rest all I can say is Hell is hot.

Come to think of it this story is enough for right now.

Let that sink in.
