As a kid I had this many times for dinner and sometimes breakfast with syrup. Course that was before I knew what was in it. Gee I wonder why my parents never told me?

This also reminds me of the time my step sister's husband gave us a wabbit to eat for dinner. He blasted it with a shotgun. Yeah I guess ya kinda know how that meal went down. It was like doing surgery before every bite.:-)



Yeah and eating 'pike' ain't no treat either!

How Congress Works

Repost

Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.

Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.

Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write the reports.

Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they created the following positions, a time keeper, and a payroll officer, then hired two people.

Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?" So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.

Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $18,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost."

So they laid off the night watchman.

Doctor Legends (Humor)

Repost

1. A man comes into the ER and yells, "My wife's going to have her baby in the cab." I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab, lifted the lady's dress and began to take off her underwear. Suddenly I noticed that there were several cabs and I was in the wrong one.

2. At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall. 'Big breaths, I instructed. "Yes, they used to be", replied the patient.


3. One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I told a wife that her husband had died of a massive myocardial infarct. Not more than five minutes later, I heard her reporting to the rest of the family that he had died of a "massive internal fart."

4. During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with his cardiologist, he informed me, his doctor, that he was having trouble with one of his medications. Which one I asked. "The patch?" The Nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put it. I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see. Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body! Now, the instructions include removal of the old patch before applying a new one.

5. While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient I asked, "How long have you been bedridden?" After a look of complete confusion she answered, "Why, not for about twenty years - when my husband was still alive."

6. I was performing rounds at the hospital one morning and while checking up on a man I asked, "So how's your breakfast this morning?" “It's very good except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem to get used to the taste,” Bob replied. I then asked to see the jelly and Bob produced a foil packet labeled 'KY Jelly.'

7. A nurse was on duty in the Emergency Room when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered. It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for immediate surgery. When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green and above it there was a tattoo that read, "Keep off the grass." Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which said, "Sorry had to mow the lawn."

8. As a new, young MD doing his residency in OB. I was quite embarrassed when performing female pelvic exams. To cover my embarrassment I had unconsciously formed a habit of whistling softly. The middle-aged lady upon whom I was performing this exam suddenly burst out laughing and further embarrassing me. I looked up from my work and sheepishly said, "I'm sorry. Was I tickling you?" She replied with tears running down her cheeks from laughing so hard, " No doctor but the song you were whistling was "I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener."

Baby's First Doctor Visit
A woman and a baby were in the doctor's examining room, waiting for the doctor to come in for the baby's first exam. The doctor arrived, and examined the baby, checked his weight, and being a little concerned, asked if the baby was breast-fed or bottle-fed. "Breast-fed", she replied. "Well, strip down to your waist", the doctor ordered. She did. He pinched her nipples, pressed, kneaded, and rubbed both breasts for a while in a very professional and detailed examination. Motioning to her to get dressed, the doctor said, "No wonder this baby is underweight. You don't have any milk. "I know",' she said, "I'm his Grandma, But I'm glad I came."

Christianity, A Strange Religion

And you think the Talban are tough!
Not sure Bible study for kids would be a good thing in schools as some would have us believe. If it were, which parts should or should not be taught and who'd get to decide? 

How about none of it just to be on the safe side.

According to this article in the Huffington Post a few things the old testament in the bible forbids.."Tattoos- Leviticus 19:28 states: Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.

Getting Remarried- Mark 10:11-12 states: Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

Working On Sunday- Exodus 31:14-15 states: "Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death

Women Speaking In Church- Corinthians 14:34-35 states: Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

Eating Shrimp, Lobster..- Leviticus 10-11 states: And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:

Losing Your Virginity- Deuteronomy 22:20-21 states: ... Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die:"

Personally speaking I've questioned whether "The Christian Bible" should include both the old testament with the new. Christianity began with Christ, who claimed to make all things anew.

The old testaments speak of a God that is demanding, vengeful, requires sacrifice, speaks of punishment by death and wars. The new testaments speak of an all forgiving God. One that is in total opposition to the other. How can you have one that is so diametrically opposed to the other and speak of the same God?

I Use To Take Organ Lessons

Repost

Way back when I was a pup around 10 years of age dad decided to buy a Hammond Organ from the Chiarelli Brothers music store in Allentown. It was located just North of Tilghman Street on 7th. Dad also joined the local Hammond organ club which would meet once a month at the old Allentown Moose which was located across from the Allentown Hospital on Hanover Avenue at the time. He also hooked me up with a wonderful music teacher who's name was Bob Hanke. Bob use to have a steady weekly gig playing at the former Lehigh Valley Club located 1554 Hamilton Street.

Bob suffered through my thoroughly lousy lack of talent for the instrument for about two or three years. Although I continued to delude myself into thinking if I just stuck with it for several more years it would come to me. Well it didn't. In 1967 I took it as a revelation when even God had enough and pulled the plug on June 5th. That was the day of the Mid-Atlantic power failure. Hey I can take a hint :-)

Seriously speaking, when I observed Bob & Mickey (a female who's last name I don't remember) played dueling organs to the tune of 'Tiger Rag' at one of the club meetings I was overwhelmed. There's no way I ever was going to get my feet to find those damned 13 bass pedals nor learn my 'B flat diminished' chord from a 'B flat augmented'. I don't even want to talk about my lack of rhythm.

The greatest thing I did learn (thanks to dad pushing me) is, no one can ever fully appreciate what someone else can accomplish unless they try it for themselves. That goes not only for playing the organ, but everything else in life.

With that in mind I present the following two videos. If someone never tried to play the organ they probably won't appreciate Richard Hills playing 'Tiger Rag' on the Wurlitzer Theatre organ as much someone who has. This is incredibly difficult if not impossible for someone who's brain isn't wired for talent in the same way. Either some are fortunate enough to be born with it that way or they're not. Or in the case of my brain's wiring... it's just knot!

Richard Hills- "Tiger Rag"

Talk About Multitasking!


Lew Williams at the Mighty Organ Stop Pizza in Mesa, Arizona- "Chattanooga Choo Choo"

Even though I had little talent I did enjoy being around organs. So right after high school I applied and got a job at Allen Organ Company in it's final inspections department for a little over two years between 1966 to 1969. I worked on the smaller model organs for the home (the T12a's on down). A few days ago I came across this following video put out by Allen Organ in September 2011. About all I can say is a hellva' lot changed over the 42 years between 1969 and 2011 when this video was made!

When I was working there we were working with transistors, push pins and in-house wound coils. There was only rumors back then that Allen engineers were starting to look into digital circuitry. There was no such thing as sound sampling. Everything was about mixing single tone analog oscillators. Surely a kid coming just out of high school, like I did back then, would never be able to understand today's digital complexities.

Without a college education in electrical engineering and at least some talent musically, there's no way I could have had the same opportunity I did back then in today's world. In this respect it's harder then ever for kids coming out of high school to land a job.

Q: “Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene?”

A: “No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away.”

Q: “Officer, who provided this description?”

A: “The officer who responded to the scene.”

Q: “A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?”

A: “Yes, sir. With my life.”

Q: “With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?”

A: “Yes sir, we do!”

Q: “And do you have a locker in the room?”

A: “Yes sir, I do.”

Q: “And do you have a lock on your locker?”

A: “Yes sir.”

Q: “Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers?”

A: “You see, sir we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.”

Atheism

Repost

Wikipedia: Atheism

I must admit up until a few days ago I didn't think much about this.

Briefly stated my own personal belief is there exist an intelligent self aware force that is indifferent to man's follies.


That being said, irregardless of my or someone else's predilection one way or the other it can be argued..

An atheist appreciates life more then a non-atheist--
* Since the belief is you get only one shot and there is no life afterwards it's important to stay out of trouble. A religious person who runs afoul of the law and ends up behind prison bars for the rest of their life envisions a day will come whereupon they will be freed upon death. An atheist, on the other hand would have spent his/hers precious allotted time on this Earth with no hope of freedom before the lights go out forever. Therefore it is less likely atheists are so inclined to put themselves in that position.

* It then follows atheists, believing they've been allotted 70 or 80 years of existence (at best) are less inclined to avoid participating in deadly violence, encourage wars, drive like a maniac or any number of negative things that could end up snuffing out their life.

An atheist lacks religious entanglements--* Ponder for a moment if there were no religious beliefs in the middle east. All of the troubles there would vanish. This warring between nations has been going for tens of thousands of years right up until this present day.

* The same goes for most of the hatred we find between people. Edicts among the various religions call for the punishments and exclusions of gays, women or just about everyone and everything that someone else does that does not conform to a particular faith.

* Religions preach of inclusion and forgiveness, yet that is seldom the case in the real world. We quarrel over attire and what is taught in school. Worldly governments deal with moral and ethical issues on both their own people and the rest of the world meting out justice each seem fit mostly based on their own religion's tenets. There are a whole host of other issues far too numerous to list here. It can be said most of these issues atheists have little to no motivation for getting drawn in.
Am I calling for the abolishment of religion or faith in God?
Not at all. However I would recomend every believer consider the following before getting into a conflict. All the religions believe in some form of a great evil doer. Satan, if you will. Now if I were Satan I could find no greater place to hide then where few would seek to look or dare question. The place I would mask myself in hiding would be within religion.

Satan (if there is such) exploits human weaknesses in a multitude of ways. There's nothing holy about killing in any manner what-so-ever. There's no such thing as a holy war, period! Look deep enough behind the beatings of one another in anger and it is there that you will see this evil spirit. More simply put, where there is conflict, you can bet your bottom dollar, a malevolent spirit is behind it.

Whether someone does or doesn't believe in a omnipresent all powerful being, indifference should be the order of the day. It seems to me those who claim to have religion place little to no actual trust or faith when it comes right down to God handling things. I mean after all, here is the almightily God who created all of the heavens, Earth, all the creatures, each and every human being (good or evil in man's eyes). If he can do all of that I would think it a small matter to strike down any person or a nation, if he was so inclined. Does anyone truly believe a great being such as this would need help? Rather presumptuous of humankind don't you think (to say the least).

I'll wrap this up tying into what I said at the beginning. My belief is whoever/whatever the creator is, this life-force is immune to death, pain or any physical limitations. From that vantage point this entity is unaffected by any of man's foolishness.

This life-force cares little to intervene in man's affairs for one of two reasons. (1) Either mankind will one day join in spirit with him/her/it. All this illusionary death, pain and suffering nonsense is transitory. (2) Or when your gone your gone. God isn't affected nor concerned therefore doesn't give a crap. In either case mankind is acting pretty damned idiotic inflicting needless suffering and death upon one another. Aren't there enough things to die and suffer from already, like disease or natural disasters?

In the nutshell... atheists aren't God's enemy. They can't take away or add to what is or isn't.

How The DNC Rigged The Elections Causing Bernie To Lose In 2016

Repost

Many conservatives accuse Democrats of being sore losers. In part they are right, but not because Hillary lost. Rather because Bernie Sanders didn't win. If there was any rigging going on it was done more by the DNC then the Russian government.

Politifact (Published March 8, 2016)

Huffington Post--"Stop the presses! According to a new poll by Quinnipiac University on Tuesday (12/22/2015), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) destroys Republican candidate Donald Trump in a general election by 13 percentage points. In this new poll, Sanders has 51 percent to Trump’s 38 percent."

MSNBC-Morning Joe: Apr 11, 2016

Talk about rigging elections...THIS IS IT!
Aljazeera (May 14, 2016)--RealClearPolitics showed on Tuesday (05/10/2016) that Sanders had a 13 percent advantage over Trump, while Clinton had five more points than Trump."

If the DNC hadn't interfered would we even be talking about Donald Trump, the Russians or how divided this country has become?

Repost

In this country so many have so much. So many others have so much less. It's not about redistribution of wealth. It's about questioning why the "the richest nation on Earth" cannot benefit everyone more equitably.

"The true greatness of a nation is not measured by the vastness of its territory, or by the multitude of its people, or by the profusion of its exports and imports; but by the extent to which it has contributed to the life and thought and progress of the world...

So with nations. A great nation is not one which, like Russia, has an enormous territory ; or, like China, has an enormous population. It is the nation which gives mankind new modes of thought, new ideals of life, new hopes, new aspirations; which lifts the world out of the rut, and sets it going on a cleaner and brighter road. "

These machines can write their own software code routines. In other words be able to exceed the abilities of the very people who create them. They certainly leave today's Siri and Google assistants in the dust. These will be the future 'apps' of tomorrow.

I said it before, we humans may be only another step along the ever evolving path of evolution. One far greater then we can ever imagine. Makes you wonder if other worlds are occupied by machines rather then carbon based intelligence such as ourselves. They would certainly have greater advantages over human flesh which needs oxygen, water, temperatures, etc. to sustain itself.

Some consider the little rodents a pest. For us they are entertaining. If we put a corn cob out, they don't eat it. They run around burying the kernels one by one everywhere, never to be found again. Perhaps it's their job in nature to reseed not to eat. If so they do an exhaustive job working their furry tails off.

Watch this little bugger work his butt off. Sliding down, crawling up again. Quite the little acrobat!

It never ceases to amaze how people will wait in line--sometimes for hours--to cast their vote in national elections. Yet come time to elect local officials only a fraction show up.

Things like streets, water, trash, policing property taxes, emergency services, parking, zoning and a who host of others that impact us directly all occur at the local level. Few ever will directly affected by what the scrum does in Washington, that's for certain. I can't tell you the number of complaints I heard about what goes on Washington and how people can't wait to vote them out. Yet little more then a handful ever turn out for local elections. Why is that?

People need to start asking themselves what ticks them off the most. I'd suggest making a list of the top five pet peeves they have. Nine out of tern times it something only local leaders can do something about. Then go out and vote for the candidates they feel will address them.

The Washington bunch aren't going to address property taxes, parking problems, who gets to build what where, how the parks look, how well streets are plowed/maintained or enact local ordnances specific to each municipality--to name a few.

So now get out there and vote !
Do something about these things..

One of my pet peeves is those who complain why I'm not out there hammering away at meetings. Here's how I feel. After being on countless committees frustrating myself where I once worked, I came to realize management stacked the deck. They already had a predetermined outcome they expected. Much is the same with how these politicians form their committees and commissions. Even if such a group were to oppose management (in this case elected officials) they always have the final say. In the past I've been subject to what happens when someone opposes those in power. I'm not going to repeat those same costly and emotionally draining mistakes on neither my family or myself again. Been there done that.

To those with greater courage--may you have greater resources and stamina then I to pursue your ideas. As for me--over the years I've concluded although I couldn't choose those unelected corporate management leaders, when it comes to local issues by electing political leaders I certainly can. By voting for those who seem to hold the same views is where I feel I can be most effective.

At this point in my life I'll just stick to this blog and voting in all the elections as my way of making my voice heard.
