Clear as a Bell
Lately people have said they don't understand me. Well, here are some handy rules to understand me. We always hear "the rules " from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note ... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE! If after this you still don't understand, then talk to me and take your chances.
1. Men ARE not mind readers.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly Acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only If you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem . See a doctor.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
1. If you won't dress like the Victoria 's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one
1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not! A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will Be scratched. We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, Bowling or golf.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

0 and 9
It amazes me how much backstabbing goes on at a Christian Radio station. They claim to be Christian and do everything to “get ahead” or to insure they look good. Their motto is “can’t be my fault, it has to be yours.” I would expect there be some “Christ like” attitudes and work with others to get the job done. However, sadly, being Christian is relegated to the time you are at church and nowhere else. That is unless you are trying to impress someone and then you act it out.

9 to 8
I took a break last night to go to the Nationals – Tigers ball game at RFK. I had a great view as I sat on the third base side with a direct line of site to home plate. The best part was the Nationals lost. Now it is back to reality and its demands.

Hot Hot Hot
Well, Friday is here and the week is done. Of course, it had to be hot (mid-90) but some rain will come in a few hours or so the weatherman says.
Sunday is going to be a full day with church, bowling and Max’s birthday cookout. Best part of this cookout is that I do not have to stand over the grill. Those three and four burner rigs really generate the heat and my poor arms and hands do not like it.

Turn California into a Penal Colony
Can you believe it … Paris is out of jail because of “unspecified medical reason.” How many people are in jail or prison with major medical problems? Do they get out to go home?
In an article, about 30 states and the federal prison system have either a "medical parole" law that is overseen by the state parole board, or a "compassionate release" procedure, that is legislated or part of an internal department of corrections procedure that allows for the early release of dying prisoners. Just fewer than 100 inmates were released under medical parole or compassionate release laws in 1997, according to the National Institute of Corrections. That number is down from 143 inmates released in 1996 and 214 released in 1994, according to the National Institute of Justice.
In another article, while talking about primarily HIV, they list numbers of other inmates with other illnesses. Do they get to go home to deal with it … NO; they stayed locked up and cared by the medical staff in prison. Here is a brief excerpt:
According to a recently completed national survey of county and municipal jail inmates, an estimated 229,000 had a medical problem other than a cold or a virus. About 26 percent reported having had a dental problem since admission, 13 percent said they had been injured while in jail, and one percent said they had undergone a surgical procedure. Among the current medical problems reported, jail inmates were most likely to report having arthritis (13 percent), followed by hypertension (11 percent), and asthma (10 percent). Other specific problems were heart conditions (6 percent); kidney problems and tuberculosis (4 percent each); stroke, diabetes, and hepatitis (3 percent each); as well as cancer, paralysis, liver problems, HIV, and STDs (about 1 percent each). About 6 in 10 jail inmates age 45 or older reported having a current medical problem, compared to 1 in 4 inmates age 24 or younger. Since their admission to jail, more than 40 percent of all inmates reported having had a medical examination. One-third of jail inmates reported an impairment including learning, speech, hearing, vision, or mobility. Eight percent of jail inmates reported a mental or emotional condition that kept them from participating fully in school, work, or other activities.
The bottom line is MONEY MATTERS. Be famous and have a lot of money and you do what ever you want. How many celebrities in Southern California have bought their freedom (OJ, Blake, Crowe). Hollywood is a sad excuse for role models. While we are at it, get rid of the judge that was so corrupt he allowed this to happen.
Another good blog about Paris.
American Citizens should raise the roof over how the Justice System has been subjugated to Money and Fame. If you are one of the few who live in that social class, then don't worry. But if you do not, you should be screaming on how wrong this was, because I can assure you when you get in trouble, you will go to jail for the full sentence.

Ba Humbug!
Do you realize it is Thursday and the weekend is 1 more day away? I had better go find the turbo button and get us there faster. That also means only 4 days until Cheng returns and I don't have to deal with the "stupids" anymore.
Maybe I will desert the "Us" generation and join the "Me" generation. Just blow off anything that doesn't benefit me and the more it benefits me and not you the better. It will be fun only worrying about me because I am satisfied with what I am doing and where I am going. If everyone else wants to get lost or struggle, so be it. I will learn to laugh at adversity especially if it effects you and not me. I will work hard to be a dysfunctional person that doesn't care about anyone else. Just like the ones on TV. Of course, I will have to learn to be callous, uncaring, selfish, and exploitative. But it seems everyone else has a head start so I must be even more aggressive in order to make up lost ground.
Well, time to run and get this started.

Munchkins at work
Gulp! I can finally see the light of the day. I think I have enough hours to last me until next week. Sometimes I swear a knucklehead won the job of being boss. Not too much to say since the “stupids” have been running loose and fudging everything up.
The December cruise is booked and down payments made. The countdown to party time is on.
Wild Mom is ready for us to come down and see her. The Family Christmas Party is being done in a couple months. That is a long drive just for dinner one night. However, who knows I might get bit by the “stupids” and just go. By the way, she is just fine still sorting out her vacation pictures.
Lady is busy with work. Peanut has helped but there is still too much to do. Vacation Bible School is in two weeks and that is always good for a lot of work. She teaches and I get to run the synagogue.
I sometimes wonder if I could stand opening up Pandora’s Box and getting everyone’s answer to the question, “What does Family mean to you.” I get the sneaking suspicion the answers would boggle my poor tired mind. I read an interesting article about how the value of the Family has declined and some of the causes. Leading the pact was the loss of the Family dinner at the dinner table. That hour of time meant so much to the fabric of the family and its formation. Close behind is the concept of “Me”. Take all I can get and then move on. Give only enough back to get what you need and never make a commitment for more. After that one, the contributors to the family decline seemed to drop off. However, the one that interested me was “The word “love” became trivialized. Like the word “sorry”, the word “love” was used without consideration for what it meant. The feeling behind the word became hollow and meaningless. The phrase “I love you” became nothing more than “Here is a treat” to get what I wanted. Sorry and Love were rote responses to any question. Love being for some affection or just to be liked while sorry was a quick way to pass blame or avoid it. There is a loss of connection if the words mean nothing or they are used to deflect anything of any importance. Where did it crumble, when did it slip? I do not know and I do not like it. It makes you feel like mom and dad are nothing more than motel clerks in a busy city. The Family dinner is something that is shared only by mom and dad while the others race off for the fast food joints to get their daily fix of fat and calories. The diet becomes nothing more than slimming down of your connections with those you claim to love. Family Time becomes nothing more that a way of self-gratification or an expression of love and sorry. It is almost like a trophy because most other friends have nothing. Whose fault is it or where to place the blame? One could look away, accept less even if it is 5 minutes or say something. You cannot say much since if the love and sorry have no meaning then it will not be much of a loss if you get pissed and walk off. If it is wrong then call the mouse a mouse. However, that will not work either because it is “me” that means the most. Trivialize the family to nothing more than a stolen minute from what really matters to you … everything else.” Perhaps the best thing is to get drunk and then your imaginary friends will soothe your spirit but then again in an hour, they would vanish and you would be alone once again. Ok, whose bright idea was it to go down this road or is this just a dream concocted by the Democrats?
I love the one ... I want to be your friend but you are not good enough to be my friend. Go find another idiot to sucker in.

It's Hot
Can you believe June is here already? The year is almost ½ gone. This weekend was pretty much the same as the others before it. Too many chores and not enough time but I will take care of that this week.
Work maintained its level of irritation and even added some as Cheng was on vacation. How long do you have to work before you learn the basics of your job? As we always say – you cannot fix stupid!
Friday was dinner with friends. No kids but not because they were not invited, they swear they do not like Chinese food. Oh well.
Saturday turned into a BBQ and homemade ice cream affair at some friend’s house. Once again, no kids. I wonder what happened to doing things as a family. With everyone, working or going to school during the week, the only free time is on the weekend. I guess it make real sense to spend the weekend everywhere else.
Sunday was the normal church in the morning and bowling later in the evening. Most of the afternoon was spent watching the golf match. I love that combination since it allows me to relax my eyelids and decrease some of the daily stress. Lil-bit was clipped, dipped and powdered so he was extra frisking especially since he can see now that his bangs are very short.
Wild Mom is readjusting to life on the land after her cruise. Must be tough. She is already planning another on to the Western Caribbean in February 2008.
Lady is going to baby showers and wedding showers. Therefore, she is in major party mode.
#1 is at home and after all the activity and excitement of our house he is readjusting to the slow and quiet life in his apartment. I believe the plan is for him to visit again in September when his leave time builds up.
One good thing was Lew and his mom, missy, are spending more time with us. That has been nice. Let us keep that good stuff up.

Pentecost
Well, the weekend has ended and it is back to work. I swear they place a bucket over the door at work and dump crap on you as soon as you walk in. I guess some of these clowns have no life to speak of and just lay around dreaming of how to use the crap they are generating. Let us start the countdown.
I love to be told to be sure to get a new hire a fast computer because they need the speed to work. Apparently, they are that good! I set it up and their first question is “how to turn the screensaver off?” Now this is a real power user, he needs the speed so when he does do something he can catch up from all the time he wasted asking super dumb questions. Another one is the one who wants the new data update installed because they are out of data and need the data to make a presentation to a client. After busting to get the update installed, their first question is “now, how do I use this program and new data?” Never ask them which mail program they use .. Outlook or Outlook Express, they do not have a clue but they have used it forever.
The weekend was full of things. Friday night we (Lady, #1, #2, Peanut, Princess, Kritty and me) went out to dinner at Logan’s and generally had a good time, peanuts and all. Only one glass of soda was spilled but the shells were everywhere and I mean everywhere. After dinner, several of us went to see Pirates 3 at midnight. It was ok but not one I would stand in line for again.
Saturday was busy. The new 3-burner grill was bought and naturally, we had to break it in with burgers and dogs. That night ended with drinks, movies, and s short trip to the ice cream stand.
Sunday was the usual of church and bowling filled in between with catnaps. We picked up a small pool for the deck and Lew. However, more Big Kids have used it than him. Of course, grilled chicken kept a smile on our faces and Lew and his parents spent the day with us. The bowling team went 4-0 to get our record so far to 7-1 and my average climbed to 204.
Monday was a bit more laid back but the afternoon was Shreck 3 followed by BBQ pork chops. Once again, we ate too much this weekend. Lady caught the bug and ended the night feeling bad.
#1 will leave tomorrow for Colorado. Time to go back and pay for this little vacation.
#2 brought his current girlfriend over to meet us. What does she see in him? It was fun and tough not to tease him.
Peanut was there but I did not get to spend as much time with her this weekend as the other attention hog gobbled up my time. Work is going great for her and as soon as she gets a license and car, they will move her up to 40 hours a week. Incentive?
Princess, along with Davis and Booger, were there all weekend. A breakfast with just the two of us started Saturday off nicely. Then she was sunburned (while under Davis’s care) and she was an itchy beast all the rest of the weekend. The dog is hanging on by a thread now not much more and he will be history. She also saw Shreck, well most of it, as her eyes got heavy and she did the snoring part for Shreck. With her laying her head on my shoulder, I had 3-D sound effects.
That was the bulk of what happened this weekend minus a few extra hanger-on kids. Felt like I needed a cattle prod to get some to leave. One time the conversation went like this;
Knock knock
Open the door, “Yes can I help you?
“Is #2 there? No, he is asleep (3 pm) ((True – he was.))
“Well, then is #1 there?” “No, he went out.”
“Well, is Peanut?” “NO.”
“Well, then who is here?” “None of your business.”
Seems like the pattern has been that they have either stunk (are cleanliness impaired) or they have no other life (friend impaired)

Well, the weekend is finally here. Work is done and now it is time to play. Last weekend was special and a lot of fun. Who will step up and make this one just as special? Friday will start it off with dinner at Logan’s and who knows what the late night holds. The usual Mexican Food and goofing off is on tap for Saturday. Sunday holds Church and Bowling but a lot of free time in between. Sometime this weekend, I want to see Shrek 3, the question is when and with whom.

Classic Man
Your Score: Clark Gable
You scored 33% Tough, 9% Roguish, 23% Friendly, and 33% Charming!
You're a helluva guy, a real split personality and a bit of an enigma. On the one hand, you're a man's man, tough talking and ready for anything. But on the other hand, you soften your rough and tumble core with a disarmingly smooth exterior, and you make the ladies swoon. You're equally admired by both men and women alike, drinking other men under the table all the while charming the socks off half a dozen lovelies. You're a commanding presence, and you know how to get what - and who - you want when you want it. You're drawn to women who, like you, are savvy enough to deal with the world on their own terms. You work well with spitfires. Leading ladies include Joan Crawford, Myrna Loy, and Jean Harlow. No damsels in distress for you.

#1 is home until 05/28/07. He came to surprise lady on her Birthday. He did surprise her. Apparently, the Colorado water and air did not help his appearance --- he looks the same. Since Princess cannot win a wrestling match against me, she tried #1 and guess what – she lost. Do I need to say anymore? Peanut and Princess are trying to get over the crud since last week. So far, all they do is pass it back and forth. Everyone else seems to be fine. #2 is getting use to having a big brother in the house. Sometime soon according to #2 he will bring his girl friend home. This should be interesting. Booger is still on a suicide mission with his chewing, crapping and wetting, not to mention the jumping up on you. Now he wants to mate with anything he can wrap his legs around – at this rate, he will never make puberty. Maybe it is time for the alcohol and penknife!

Washington Nationals continue to lose. Good job blowing a 6-run lead.
President Carter opens his mouth about how bad this Administrations Foreign Policy is and he best look at how bad his whole Administration is first. I am sorry to see the Democratic Party use him as an undersized, crazed, little Chihuahua to attack everyone. I guess Bill Clinton is too busy with the office interns to care about this opportunity.
Ship the illegal’s home and let them apply for citizenship and work the correct way. Amnesty degrades what all the real and law abiding immigrants did to get their citizenship. You “catch and release” fish not Illegal Aliens.

Warm Fuzzy's
Well, I survived my brief stint as a Class “B” bachelor. Lady really enjoyed her week away from life.
Wild Mom called from the island of Hilo, Hawaii to say she was having a blast. Now we will find out how much when she gives us souvenirs. I wonder if she will turn down the next cruise, she is offered.
Friday, we (princess, peanut, #2, friend of princess, and me) had dinner at Ruby Tuesday’s. After eating, we had to drag princess out after the Shirley Temple’s kicked in. We managed to get her home without incident. Do you realize that princess snores at 7-db level? She fell asleep while we were watching the movie and had to increase the volume 7-db to overcome that symphony. Everyone else had a great time devouring dips and chips during the movie.
Saturday, Peanut was treated to a manicure and nails followed buy a brief but financially intense shopping spree. She does look great in colors. My favorite is the pink and roses top. We (Peanut, Kritty, #2) had lunch at El Agave and loved it. Peanut liberally covered her food with habanera sauce and then paid the price with tears and sweat. Next time I think she will decrease the sauce level. However, it was fun to see her eyes bug out (like on the cartoons) and gasp for air. We (Kritty, #2 and Lew) watched “Facing the Giants” at our church’s Family Movie Night. I recommend that movie but bring some Kleenex. Princess was gone spending most of the day with her not so called boy friend. I had hoped to spend most of the day with both my girls but I would not trade what I did experience. Peanut did stop the conversation once when she asked for a snake as a pet. That will be a tough decision.
Sunday, included church but with Lew sick and being nauseated most of the day it was quiet. Peanut offered help but I just sent her to be with friends. Princess was pretty much the same as Saturday but this time in her room. Sunday night the Summer Youth Bowling started. I eeked out a 202 starting average. Oh well, that gives me something to chase. I finished the weekend and the day with a quiet dinner with Lady.
Booger for the most part made the time irritable and he pushed the boundaries to the limit. I am a bit concerned that he might hurt Lew as he likes to push Lew around or stand over him. As far as I am concerned, any choice between Lew or Booger means Booger is a memory on some picture. I hope Booger grows up or is trained soon or he will be the main dish at our first summer barbeque.
For the most part the weekend and my Class “B” status was fun. However, having the family events was much more enjoyable. Thanks to those that made it that way.

Brain in Neutral
Well, another weekend is approaching fast. What shall I do because Lady is off on a retreat? I must find something to do or I will just vegetate. Sunday starts the Summer Youth League at 6 pm. Maybe for this league our team will gel and we can show them our talents.
We might head for Indiana for the Memorial Day Weekend. Not sure since we are still planning this one.
Still trying to figure out a Birthday present for Lady. Hmmm, good or gag?
Work is still the same but a bit slower since the Transmitter moves are mostly done. Cheng is even considering taking some time off. Oh boy, I get to be king for a while. I will have to practice saying “No.”
The cruise is getting closer. I, Lady, #2, Peanut and Princess are all going along with our best friends and their son, and another friend from South Carolina. This should prove to be an interesting crowd. It should provide lots of laughs and pics. Now just to pay for it.
Shreck III comes out this weekend. Do I dare get Lew and go to it?
+ Neptune + heads for Ft Campbell KY to start his new career. I wish him luck and a quick rise to the top. I love to see friends succeed and have new adventures even if they are in the Army.
Little over a month until cutiebug comes to visit Wild Mom in Florida. She has left London to sample the wild and crazy beaches of Florida.
