TV Exercies & Cathy & Me

My cousin Cathy and I were virtually sisters since we were only nine months apart in age and she a only child , while I might as well have been one also because my sisters were so much older then I . There fore , Cathy and I spent a lot of time together growing up . We got along as sisters do , sometime it was honey , as they say here , and sometimes we had a lot of crying onions , but for the most part we rubbed along well together .

We got into a lot of " adventures" that I am quite sure our mothers would have rather we hadn't but mostly we were good girls .In the summertime I would go stay at my cousins house with her since her grandmother lived next door to her and could keep a eagle eye out on us while our mothers worked .

My aunt used to have all over her house all these
fragile glass knick knacks on every available surface and in the most dangerous places for two growing children to avoid breaking at all times .A complete disaster waiting to happen at any moment . They usually did, like the day we decided that we would do the exercises we saw on TV .

The TV was in the living room and so were all those dainty knock knacks of my aunts , all over the place . The man on the TV told us to get something , anything , that had some sort of weight to it and do arm lifts while holding the heavy objects in our hands . We tried the handy encyclopedias that Cathy had , but they were way too awkward to hold and lift at the same time . Then we tried pillows but they had no weight at all ! What to do ? By this time that man in TV had moved on to bigger and harder exercises and we were trying to catch up with him . He wanted us to run in place , fast ! We tried but kept bumping into the coffee table and knocking over those little thing a ma bobs of my aunts .Well ,that wouldn't do at all .He moved on to a really tricky exercise now .... we had to lift something heavy over our heads and swing our arms around in the air .Oh boy !

I can't remember who's idea it was to fill the plastic bags up with the ice cubes but it seemed like a good idea at the time , you know what I mean ? So , here we are , in a tight confined space , with things that break real easily , swinging plastic bags full of ice cubes , with gusto at that and laughing the whole time because it was sooo fun !Whoosh , whoosh , whoosh , around and around we swung our little arms with total abandon giggling and having a ball doing our
exercises with the man on TV cheering us onward to do more .

We did . I personally think it was one too many whooshes that did it , although Cathy claimed later that it was the flimsy plastic bags that gave out , but what ever it was , the bags in our hands broke together at the same time .Ice cubes went flying like bats outta hell all over the place ! Up, up into the air , arching ever so lightly , then crashing , slamming into everything in it's way . A lamp teetered crazily on the end table . I made a dash for that and managed to stop the crash .The little glass knick knacks on the tables didn't make out so well . A little glass dog lost a leg , a clown was smashed into smithereens . My aunts favorite tea cup was broken in two .When we saw that , we KNEW we were dead !

We rushed around gathering up ice cubes and throwing them away into the kitchen sink to melt there harmlessly , while we tried to get all the broken glass cleaned up before my aunt came home from work . She would be home in one hour . We hide the broken glass in the trash bins out in the back yard .Swept the floor . Mopped up any water from melted ice cubes and broke out the GLUE ! My cousin was a whiz when it came to gluing things back together since she was always bumping into something and breaking it .Most of those things in the living room had already been broken at least once . We figured that if we could get everything glued back together BEFORE my aunt came home , well hey , she would never know !

So , here we were busy gluing stuff together, trying to get it to stick together , scared to death that we would get killed if my aunt ever found out . We had been given a warning already for breaking Cathy's bed the week before, by her , yes , really her , jumping up and down on it . That's another story , so anyway ,we were afraid and trying to hurry up get this all done before my aunt came home . We did , yeah !!! Just as we glued the last piece into place , my aunt drove up in the drive way .Phew , that was soo close !

Aunt Betty comes in and takes one look at our very nervous faces and asks us how our day went . She knew something was up but what it was she didn't know ... yet ! She probes us on our activities for the day even though she has called us off and on all day and had grandma look in on us too, she knows something is fishy .

She goes into the living room , which was reeking with glue ,turns to stare at us and asks us have we done anything ?Of course not we chimed in unison ! We were perfect little angels all day long . We just watched TV that's all nothing else . Hum she said , well how come I smell glue then ? Are you sure nothing got broken today ? OH NO !!! We assured her , nothing !She looks around closer this time and sees a ice cube we had missed in the race against time to clean up the mess peaking out from under the couch . OMG !!! She walks over , picks it up , looks at us again and says um hum !I thought Cathy and I were gonna faint right then and there ! She knew , oh yeah , she knew alright ! We were dead !So then she starts to touch things .Not saying a word while we stood holding our breaths hoping against all hope she wouldn't notice the glue oozing out from hair line creaks in her favorite tea cup she had on display on the book shelf behind her .

She finishes her look see and didn't thankfully notice anything amiss .That was a close call we were thinking when disaster struck . As Aunt Betty was walking out of the living room past the book shelf , the tea cup , being the last thing we glued and the least thing we glued together well , decided to come apart . It made a very small tinkling sound as it fell apart on to it's saucer .She heard that noise and turned to see it happen . She then turned to glare at us with a look on her face that was just scary !!!

We froze like deer in head lights . We were doomed ! What would she do ? My mother and my aunt never hit us in our entire lives . Would this be the first time ?Would we be grounded for life ? Even worse , would we have TV privileges taken away ?It was summertime and TV was a important part of summertime activities , remember what got us into this mess to begin with ? The TV exercise man .

She told us to go to our room we shared .She said she would come to talk to us after she had calmed down . We had to sit waiting for a half hour thinking all sorts of horrible things would happen to us while she cooled off in the other part of the house . Finally we knew what our fate would be .She came in , sat on the edge of the bed where we had been crying worriedly about our doomed life and told us for the next week we would have to spend all our time with grandma next door and do EVERYTHING she told us to do .

That was a fate worse than death because grandma hated little kids and especially us because we once scared her prise laying hen so badly that she stopped laying eggs for a week .I hated chickens because they would peck you when you tried to gather their eggs . Cathy hated the geese because they chased you when you went into their pen . And we knew that grandma knew this too and would make us do those things to get even with us . She did . We spent a miserable week under her very watchful eye . After that we NEVER did exercises in the house no matter what that man on TV told us to do !

Daylight Robbery - The Iraqi War

Last night I watched BBC's Panorama show " Daylight Robbery" as reported by Jane Corbin . I was completely amazed at how the Bush Whitehouse politics and policies have totally hoodwinked the American people in regards to the cost of the Iraqi war and why .

I have put the YouTube video's from the BBC's Panorama "Daylight Robbery" program here for you to watch and form your own opinion . It takes several video's to get the whole program but well worth the time it takes to watch them all , believe me . I might have them out of sequence but you will have no problem understanding the message .

Imagine a company being paid $2,000,000 a month to guard the Baghdad airport and playing football with the money bricks . Or how Haliburton was allowed to be the only catering bidder for the troops BEFORE the war was started , and wanted a 5 YEAR contract for a war that didn't exist ! Millions , billions , and even trillions made from profiteering on the Iraqi war by American company's through suspicious means . You really won't believe all this and at the same time you sadly will . Watch the video's .










What do you think now ?

We had tons of adventures together . I will write about a couple of them later on for you to enjoy , but right now , I just want to remember her alone for a while .The world seems so empty every since I found out she is gone .

I have been a big fan of George Carlin for years . He died this past week end . A great loss for the world as he was always provocative and promoted food for thought .


Here are several of his retinues that I like . Enjoy ! The below videos contain adult content , adult language . Those under the age of 21 should not listen to these .

The Longest Day

Today is the summer solstice , the longest day of the entire year .Here is a picture of the sun rise over Stonehenge in England .

In ancient times this day and this night were thought to hold magical powers .


Sacred ceremonies were held in special places like Stonehenge and Glastonbury in temples made of free standing stones .



There have been many things written about about this special time all through the ages . One of the more famous is William Shakespeare's " A Midsummers Night Dream".


Whatever you do today , I hope it is magical for you .

Dream A Little Dream

Has anyone tried out the dream interpretation widget I put on my side bar yet ? How do you like it ? Did it make any sense to you , the interpretation ? Oh , have any of you taken the CAFFEINE TEST at the very bottom of the blog , either ? How "wired " are you ? LOL ! Let me know in the "post comments " here .

The Friendly Skies

Ah ... I "found " my tool bar for the blog posts again . It was lost for a while . Don't ask , because I have no idea how .These things happen to me all the time . Khadijateri calls me the teckno challenged , she's right , lol !

A few posts back I wrote of new x ray machines in the States that were being installed in airports across the country . They had Superman's ability to see through clothing to your skin . This is ok for say some one that is 25 in great shape and no excess flab hanging around, you know what I mean ??? BUT ....... if you are older , in bad shape , religious , shy , embarrass easily , or have personal disabilities , and /or issues you aren't in any hurry to share with the whole world , theses new x ray machines are bad news for you .They may be great in the War on Terror but not so great for personal privacy .

A good friend of mine just returned from a visit to the States to see her family . I went to visit her . We were talking and catching up on all the news . I was thinking of telling her about these new x ray machines and how upset I felt about them , when she says to me..... guess what humiliating thing happened to me on my trip through Dallas airport .

She says as she was standing in line to clear customs , the clerk looked up , saw her standing there in her headscarf ; since she wears the head covering many Muslim women wear . The clerk started to yell for security to come quickly . My friend says she looked all around to see who the subject of this panic was and how near they were to her in case she needed to duck or something . She didn't see anyone . She turned around to look at the clerk as security came rushing up to her ! The man told her she had been selected for a RANDOM search .She says she noticed THEN that she was the only one in the line that had a head scarf on with long sleeves , i.e. the only Muslim/ Middle Eastern looking person in the area !

He took her to a glass both in front of everyone , told her to step inside . A whoosh of air came and lifted up her clothing for a few minutes as she was examined on a monitor where anyone passing by could see her naked body . She was so humiliated and shamed . She is a American , born and raised in the States who happened to marry a person from Libya . She lives here in Libya with her husband and children as a wife should . She is older and a very modest woman , not your typical Muslim extremest at all . Should she have been singled out Just because she fit the profile ? She wore a head covering , she was coming from Libya , after all you can't be too careful can you? This was a very upsetting incident for her . And she is constantly wondering .. who else saw her nude in that booth ?

Then the poor woman on her way home to Tripoli through Atlanta met a older Lebanese woman travailing on her own and clearly flustered by all the rules and regulations that have been put in place since the last time this woman had traveled to Lebanon on a visit to her family . My friend befriended this older woman .No good deed goes unblessed right ? Wrong ! They boarded the plan . Made their way toward their seats , with my friend carrying hers and the older womans carry on luggage . It was too much for the older woman by this time to carry her own bag and she was shy to ask for assistance . My friends seat comes first before the other womans seat . My friend burdened with all the luggage , asked her new seat mate , another woman , to please take her carry on luggage and put it in her seat for her , until she returns from helping this older woman to settle into her seat and stow away her carry on . She then proceeded on down the isle , found the
Lebanese womans seat , put her carry on in the overhead , settled the woman , turned to return to her seat and ran smack dab into the whole crew of the plane !

The seat mate of my friend whom she had asked to place her carry on into her chair , had panicked , not speaking English well nor understanding it as well either , had summoned the cabin personnel , telling them she had been handed a BOMB by that WOMAN there !!!! Help !!!!! So , they were rushing my friend as she was turning back around to return to her seat . She tried to explain what had happened . They weren't in the mood to listen ... at first . They searched her , her bag and questioned her eventually realizing she was what she said she was and doing what she said she was doing . Imagine this , she had to sit next to that woman that had thought she was a terrorist because she wore a head scarf and handed her her a bag , not understanding what my friend had asked her , for over eight hours to the next stop . Talk about a trip from Hell !!!! Anyone planning a trip soon ????? Happy Trails if you are traveling !

37 Years & Hot Water

June 18, 1971 Moe and I married on a very hot sticky humid morning in Houston , Texas. My wedding flowers were magnolia and crepe myrtle . I was wearing a long simple white dress and Moe wore a brown suit .We had a simple civil ceremony in a wedding hall that was paid for by a stranger that was so kind to help two kids in love .We had several of our friends as wittinesses. Our best man played his harmonica off and on during the service . Later we had a religious ceremony also , but that is the day we consider our wedding day . That is the day we began our life adventure together .


It was stressful as all weddings tend to be , even the so called simple ones .We had our very first argument the night before .I was still upset that day as I walked down the isle toward Moe . I remember thinking all of the sudden , hey this is for real .We stood before the Justice of The Peace and took our vows . The enormity of what we were doing was almost over whelming . We made the pledge together before God/ Allah that from that day forward we would stay together for the rest of our lives , in sickness , health , richer , or poorer no matter WHAT !You can fake some things in life , tell your self and others lies , but when you SWEAR to GOD that you will definitely do something , well , that's a sacred promise.You don't want to be messing around with those .


We have had all the sickness , health , richer , or poorer tests as promised in the swearing to God service mentioned above , to the extremes sometimes .I don't think either one of us would have stuck some of the bumps in the road out if it hadn't been for those promises made to each other and God that day .


A Islamic wedding ceremony it isn't as serious to us westerners since you just recite the opening chapter of the Quran out loud in front of wittinesses . This is done separately , usually a woman has a man from her family to represent her during the ceremony , her father. She has been asked before hand does she want to marry the man and she says yes or no as she likes .It just doesn't have the same seriousness or enormousness feeling to it as a western religious / civil marriage ceremony , at least to me it doesn't . It is just as binding . It has had long negotiations agreed upon for a pre- nuptial contract between the two parties before hand so there won't be any problems if a divorce is wanted later on . It is hard to think of some thing as sacred if you start out with a divorce in mind first don't you think ?


When the service was over , all the congratulations were finished , we walked out of the hall to find that it had rained while we were marrying inside .It had just slowed down to a light sprinkling , the sun was peaking out of the clouds , and a huge rainbow stretched from one end of the sky to the other side .Every thing was fresh , shiny as only things can be after a wash down from cleansing rain . A bright new start to a new life together .
 



Yesterday and today are real summertime days . It is hot , hot , hot .It is soo hot that the water that comes out of the sanitary hose in the bathroom , the hose that we use to wash / rinse off after toilet use , is scalding !!! I had somehow forgotten that fact of life yesterday as I used the water hose the first time and the gushing hot water connected to some very sensitive areas of my anatomy .I am sitting on a soft pillow until I am forgiven by said parts , lol .


It is definitely beach weather today .The beach across the street from us looks like the city has rented it out for pay per-visit this year .That means loads of traffic on the main road in front of it. No parking , no side walks , no trash service, and no life guards either . Pedestrians that never think to look BOTH ways before they cross a very busy main road is a scary road to drive on .Most of the beaches on the road into town this year have been rented out in this same way . That's nice for people to have a beach available to them to swim and picnic on ,but not so nice for motorist that drive on the streets they are located . Have a safe summer this year and enjoy the beaches and pools.

X Ray Vision Now In A Airport Near You

My friend sent an email to me covering a news report of something that until now , only Superman could do ,see through your clothing to what's is underneath , your flesh and blood skin . Yes , that's correct , x ray vision is now at selected USA airports and busy violating your very private parts privacy .This story is all over the web . Here are several links you may read the story your self . How do you feel about this ? What about all those ladies that cover their faces , only to have the rest of their selves exposed to a strangers viewing ? Another good reason to stay put this summer . I wouldn't want to be on view to just anyone !What happened to getting to know each other first ? LOL !

Boogie Woogie Flu & Hell In A Bucket

I got the "Rockin' Pneumonia & Boogie Woogie Flu " and according to some sources , "I'm Going To Hell In A Bucket " ! I thought I would share these rock classics with you while I am dying of the flu on my way to hell in a bucket , lol !Not necessarily as the words in the songs say but you get my drift , right ? LOL !





Which One Polls

I thought I would check out a few polls showing the favorite at this time to win the presidential election in the USA .This link to "The Real Clear Politics " poll for the 2008 elections makes things as clear as mud .It seems that Obama has the lead so far but who knows how it will all turn out ? This link has all kinds of charts , graphs ,and what not to make it easy to see the front runner to date . There are other polls for different elections in the USA , such as the Senate and the Electoral College , which is actually the body that elects the president of the USA , not the common voters as thought .Towards the bottom of the article you will find related articles by different authors to read for more information . When you figure it all out , write me in the comments and let me know what is what . I am more confused than I was Before I started this quest !

The News In English

We aren't moving .... Yeah !!!! I didn't seriously think we would . We've only moved back and forth from the US to Libya , to the US , to Libya , to the US , back again for the final time to Libya in 1990 . I refuse to move trans Atlantic EVER again ! Really ! I mean it ! Enough with the packing all you own and love into two suitcases.


I told Moe years ago that when I die to just bury me in the family cemetery here because this is my home .The only thing I want .... lol , is ..... for them ( the family ) to serve the people sweets instead of the bread with the tea that is customary to serve during funerals here , since that is sooo boring. Don't you find you get a hankering for something sweet when you are upset ? I think this might be wishful thinking on my part here , the grief I mean. Oh , something else ... I want some rock and roll music played when they bury me .A couple of my favorites . Oh , I nearly forgot ... I want to be buried in clothing too , not naked ! All this is contrary to custom but it's my funeral ! AND I KNOW THIS ISN'T ISLAMIC , so don't throw stones at me , ok ? This is what I want , but I won't be there so , hey , who knows what they will do ? LOL !


THE WALL update ..... the guy that was building the wall on our land has quit . He says he is tired .The doors need to be installed still . I guess we will have to find some one else to finish it .


Then , week before last , our roll down shutter that covers the living room balcony door broke .A disaster !!!!! No sunlight in the living room . It is like sitting in a cave . I called the seranty ( that's what the shutter is called here )guy and told him my tale of woe . Asked him how soon could he come over to shed some light on our subject ,i.e. the living room . He said in a day or two . He would call . Now he is a pretty reliable man and does good work at a reasonable prices , so I said good see you soon , inshallah !God willing !!!

We waited .He came four days later . Oh well . He put the shutter up for us and said he would have to come back the next night . Ok . The next night he comes and says he can't repair this old worn out shutter . We need to replace it with a totally new one. OK, I mean , what else can we do , right ? Well , how much is that gonna cost ? Don't know he says . Well , we can't live with out one so , go ahead and get us one . He had by this time managed to roll down the thing , why I don't know , but he did , and it wouldn't go back up ! Sighing going on here , can you hear me ? He said he would have to leave it like that , down , until he could bring the new one to install .I said ok , what choice did we have ?

We waited a day or two and no word from the seranty guy .I got Moe to call him . I would have called but the guy is clearly uncomfortable talking to me , a woman , when a man is there instead . The conversation was interesting to listen in on, to say the least, since the phone was doing it's own thing with the creaking , buzzing , swooshing, and humming in the back ground while Moe , who was stressed out having to talk to the guy , was having his own troubles talking that day . He was shouting above the din on the phone , trying to get the right words out . The guy was trying to figure what Moe was talking about . Sad to say , I found this funny , well it was , and started to laugh! Poor Moe was trying to talk and glare at me all at the same time . I had to leave the room .

Long and short of that conversation was , he would come over to try to roll up the seranty . He was hopeful that he would have the new shutter that night to install and could just skip fighting with the old one. He didn't have the new one and couldn't get the old one up . More sitting in the dark . He came last night with the new one . Yeah !!!! BUT ..... as he ripped out the old one and shoved in the new shutter , he told Moe that this was good news / bad news . Good news , here is the new shutter .It is in the up position . The bad news ... it still needs a new part that he can't find BEFORE we can roll it down or up ! So , if you drive by a condo on the seaside with it's living room shutter open at night , it is probably mine .Work in progress .

Dave Barry's Colonoscopy Journal LOL !!!

My friend sent this crazy , funny email to me . I thought I was gonna die laughing while reading it because it is SOOOO about having a colonocopy , something I have had to endure countless times in the past , but EVEN if you never have had the lovely experience close up and personal , so to speak ,you will laugh too .This was written by Dave Barry a Pulitzer Prize-winning humor columnist for the Miami Herald. . Read it and have a nice day .



Dave Barry is one funny guy!
This is from news hound Dave Barry's colonoscopy journal:

... I called my friend Andy Sable, a gastroenteritis, to make an
appointment for a colonoscopy. A few days later, in his office, Andy
showed me a color diagram of the colon, a lengthy organ that appears
to go all over the place, at one point passing briefly through
Minneapolis . Then Andy explained the colonoscopy procedure to me in a
thorough, reassuring and patient manner. I nodded thoughtfully, but I
didn't really hear anything he said, because my brain was shrieking,
quote, 'HE'S GOING TO STICK A TUBE 17,000 FEET UP YOUR BEHIND!'
I left Andy's office with some written instructions, and a
prescription for a product called 'MoviPrep,' which comes in a box
large enough to hold a microwave oven. I will discuss MoviPrep in
detail later; for now suffice it to say that we must never allow it to
fall into the hands of America 's enemies.

I spent the next several days productively sitting around being
nervous. Then, on the day before my colonoscopy, I began my
preparation. In accordance with my instructions, I didn't eat any
solid food that day; all I had was chicken broth, which is basically
water, only with less flavor. Then, in the evening, I took the
MoviPrep. You mix two packets of powder together in a one-liter
plastic jug, then you fill it with lukewarm water. (For those
unfamiliar with the metric system, a liter is about 32 gallons.) Then
you have to drink the whole jug. This takes about an hour, because
MoviPrep tastes - and here I am being kind - like a mixture of goat
spit and urinal cleanser, with just a hint of lemon.

The instructions for MoviPrep, clearly written by somebody with a
great sense of humor, state that after you drink it, 'a loose watery
bowel movement may result.' This is kind of like saying that after you
jump off your roof, you may experience contact with the ground.

MoviPrep is a nuclear laxative. I don't want to be too graphic, here,
but: Have you ever seen a space-shuttle launch? This is pretty much
the MoviPrep experience, with you as the shuttle. There are times when you wish the commode had a seat belt. You spend several hours pretty much confined
to the bathroom, spurting violently. You eliminate everything. And
then, when you figure you must be totally empty, you have to drink
another liter of MoviPrep, at which point, as far as I can tell, your
bowels travel into the future and start eliminating food that you
have not even eaten yet.

After an action-packed evening, I finally got to sleep. The next
morning my wife drove me to the clinic. I was very nervous. Not only
was I worried about the procedure, but I had been experiencing occasional return
bouts of MoviPrep spurtage. I was thinking, 'What if I spurt on Andy?'How do you
apologize to a friend for something like that? Flowers would not be
enough.

At the clinic I had to sign many forms acknowledging that I understood
and totally agreed with whatever the heck the forms said. Then they
led me to a room full of other colonoscopy people, where I went inside a little
curtained space and took off my clothes and put on one of those
hospital garments designed by sadist perverts, the kind that, when you
put it on, makes you feel even more naked than when you are actually
naked.

Then a nurse named Eddie put a little needle in a vein in my left
hand. Ordinarily I would have fainted, but Eddie was very good, and I
was already lying down. Eddie also told me that some people put vodka in their
MoviPrep. At first I was ticked off that I hadn't thought of this, but
then I pondered what would happen if you got yourself too tipsy to
make it to the bathroom, so you were staggering around in full Fire
Hose Mode. You would have no choice but to burn your house.

When everything was ready, Eddie wheeled me into the procedure room,
where Andy was waiting with a nurse and an anesthesiologist. I did not
see the 17,000-foot tube, but I knew Andy had it hidden around there
somewhere. I was seriously nervous at this point. Andy had me roll
over on my left side, and the anesthesiologist began hooking something
up to the needle in my hand. There was music playing in the room, and
I realized that the song was , I remarked to Andy that, of all the songs that could be playing during this particular procedure, 'Dancing Queen' has to be the least appropriate.

'You want me to turn it up?' said Andy, from somewhere behind me. 'Ha
ha,' I said. And then it was time, the moment I had been dreading for
more than a decade. If you are squeamish, prepare yourself, because I am going to
tell you, in explicit detail, exactly what it was like.

I have no idea. Really. I slept through it. One moment, ABBA was
yelling 'Dancing Queen, Feel the beat of the tambourine,' and the next
moment, I was back in the other room, waking up in a very mellow mood.
Andy was looking down at me and asking me how I felt. I felt
excellent. I felt even more excellent when Andy told me that It was
all over, and that my colon had passed with flying colors. I have
never been prouder of an internal organ.

3 Chickens And 2 Horses

 



Today while I was out running errands I had to stop my car in the road three times to let chickens cross to the other side .Later on , I had to stop traffic to allow two very nervous horses to go from one side of the street to the other .Imagine , this was in the city .Do you know why the chickens crossed the road ???? Read in the comments section to find out ! LOL !
