I love history, there's so much of it.

A Burst of Vitamins


Amazon Vitamins

Just before supper yesterday, I took some vitamins. The thing is, one got stuck in my throat. Not a big problem, it would eventually fall apart but it was uncomfortable. Drank water three times to no avail. I didn't want to eat anything till it was gone, didn't want more problems. After awhile I could feel it breaking apart. I gave a little cough and out came a cloud of white dust. That was funny. I looked like Puff the Dragon.

Poker or Faro

 

Every western movie has gotten it wrong. Cowboys did not play poker in the 1800s but a game called Faro. Faro was invented outside the United States and after being imported, gained popularity.

What was lost is now found.


I think I said awhile ago that I had lost my ring. It was one given to me by my wife over 50 yrs. ago. Before we were married. Gold ring, black onyx center and a diamond in one corner. After my operation, I lost a lot of weight so that my hands were smaller. I was out fooling around the snow blower and when I took off my glove, the ring must have come off with it. I didn't miss it till later. I prayed to St. Anthony to find my ring and then one day, there it was, bold as brass, or should I say bold as gold, laying on my patio. All the snow had melted. My family and I must have looked in that area at least 6 times and saw nothing. Happy to find it.

Camels are ships of the desert, not container ships

 


5 things for today.

 1. Went to mass yesterday. First time in a year. 

2. Can't wait for summer clothes. Getting tired looking at black.

3. Cut myself shaving this morning. Had to use styptic pencil on it. Man that stings.

4. Prince Harry has a job. (His first?). What a scam.

5. Found my lost ring.

When someone makes a promise that they will pray for you, I have a sneaking feeling that most don't

You can bet your booties that the Chinese military is not worried about political correctness.

I see William Shatner had a birthday yesterday. I also noticed that he was married four times. I have an opinion about people who marry more than twice. At this stage they are not looking for a marriage partner, more like a companion. How about those female stars who marry seven or eight times? I think they just want to go to bed with all their best friends but not show who they really are.

The world started falling apart when they decided that graffiti on buildings was art.
