Sore Ribs

Can you imagine? Breaking my ribs apart to get at the heart and then bringing them back and tying them together with a piece of wire. 

Surgery Wow!

 

The description of the surgery is enough to give me heart failure.

Open Heart Surgery

 

Interviews done, all tests done, waiting for date for my open heart surgery.

 

When I have a bagel, with cream cheese, of course, I always eat the bottom first. Best for last, maybe?

If the person listening agrees with the person speaking, then the person speaking must be right.

Since the Chinese use chopsticks with everything, I was wondering how that works with yogurt?

Rating

 I don't like SUV's. They look like a van that GOD put his hand on the front and the back and pushed it together.

 

Some people have been around the block so many times, their tires are bald.

Riches to Rags

When I see people walk around with ripped jeans, holes in the knees, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I don't know if they are naive or just plain stupid. I can't imagine someone paying top dollar to buy rags and then wear them. It seems when celebrities are your Gods, you will follow them anywhere. When I was young, parents and grand-parents made sure their children were dressed properly, as best they could afford. They would be ashamed to see how their grand-kids have turned out. Step back and take a look - you're wearing rags. 

Gone to Darkness (Sydney Rose Parnell, #4) by Barbara Nickless

It was a great story. Too bad the author had to resort to such vulgar language. The vulgarity in the banter was unnatural. You don't need it when the story is good. You have to stay away from this book if foul language offends you. Four stars instead of five.

WestJet

 I see that you have to wear a mask on WestJet. They will probably cut out the pretzels too.

The Bitterroots (Cassie Dewell, #5) by C.J. Box

 

Excellent story. The author makes the characters just come alive.

 All that rain in Texas? That's what happens when an atheist prays for rain.

Fruit and Vegetables

 

I've noticed lately that the quality of fruit and vegetables are deteriorating rapidly. I've had a number of items go bad in the last week. The other day I threw out a half bag of potatoes. Yesterday, I cut an onion and only the outside was good. The inside was rotten. In the last week its been the same for blueberries, tomatoes, peaches and lettuce. Something wrong with the supply chain. Shipping has slowed down too much. It's not like you can hoard fruit and vegetables.

Not good for the Conservative Party. The new leader doesn't have hair like Trudeau. People are so shallow. 

Ramage's Mutiny (The Lord Ramage Novels, #8) by Dudley Pope

This was a good story. Still had some parts with excessive explanations but much better than the first few books. Not too much moaning and complaining about his girlfriend.

Success & Failure

 

Success breeds success and a small opportunity for misfortune, the slippery slope.

Comic Book

 

My new adventure. Trying to read a German comic book.

The Death of Kings (John Madden, #5) by Rennie Airth

 

A novel displaying good police work, the case evolving step by step but no surprises.
