Time to spice up the blog and get some more traffic to ShowMeBlog!
Here is a popular video that is hosted on DailyMotion. I do no think that YouTube would allow a video like this on their site.
When you are an old man with a bladder and a prostate you can look forward to waking up every few hours to take a leak. I am not sure if there is anything a young man can do to take care of their prostate.
I guess we need to come up with some benefit to waking up every few hours during the night. What I have to watch out for is eating and drinking something when I wake up.
So I wake up and I check my email. I get fewer emails at night.
I check CNN and check some blogs.
I live near a CVS and a Walgreens I wish they were open 24 hours.
At night there is not much open. There a couple of convenience stores open 24 hours. Both of them are about six blocks from here. I never go to them.
Most of my life I worked the midnight shift. On my days off I would stay up and keep the same hours and clean house. For about a year I went to a casino and would gamble every night. That was fun to have an entire casino to myself. No waiting for a machine. No lines. That entire year I kept track of how much I won and how much I lost. I had a lot of winning nights but at the end of the year when I did that math, of course, the house won and I lost.
What is something you can do at night that you can not do during the day?
I guess I could take up astronomy. If I lived around a wild life area I could take up photography of nocturnal creatures.
Keep in mind that I do not own a car. So I am limited in what I can do and were I can go.
I should study and upgrade my ham license. I should get a general class license. Then I could get on the shortwave ham bands and talk around the world.
There are some very good and cheap shortwave receivers now days. Radio Shack even sells a couple. I could buy one of those and listen to some shortwave radio stations late at night. That reminds me about cable TV. I pay a lot of money for cable TV channels. I am happy with all the channels but why in the world do so many of the channels run infomercials all night long? A lot of people are up all night. There are a lot of people that work the third shift (midnight or graveyard shift) and it sort of seems like a slap in the face to them. (Sometimes when you work the midnight shift you need a slap in the face to stay awake.)
If you are a young man take care of your prostate and then you can sleep all night like a normal human. Not sure how you take care of a prostate however.
Happy days are here again! Old farts like me (senior citizens) will get their first Social Security increase in three years. We are going to get a 3.6% increase in January.
Inflation has been low ( ) in recent years so we have not got a COLA increase since 2009. It seems to us like cost have been going up every time we buy something but the government said the increase was low.
Now, at last, we are going to get a COLA increase.
I get $1155.00 a month from Social Security. Of course they take out for Medicare almost $100.00 each month. So I get each month $1,022.00 a month.
So each month I will get an extra $36.79 if my math is correct. We have not received the notice from Social Security yet with the notice and with the amount we will be getting.
See CNN for “Social Security checks to rise 3.6%.”
So I will be getting $1058.79 a month unless they decide to increase the amount I have to pay for my monthly Medicare fee.
Of course just the other day I got the increase in fees that the Medicare insurance company will be making in 2012.
A few years ago I had a prostate cancer screening exam. I forget if I had to pay for it or not but if I got one in 2011 I would have a copayment of zero dollars. I do not plan to have one again but next year if I one I would have to pay 20% of the total cost.
That is just a little sample of the stuff that is going to come up and happen.
But I am glad I will be getting a few extra dollars each month.
Social Security is an excellent program. It works. It is great.
Medicare is also an excellent program for older Americans. All Americans need a program like Medicare.
Man that sucks. There is no safe sex. No wonder kids are playing video games and not having real contact with each other.
Anyone want to do oral sex with a condom on? I do not think so.
“The human papillomavirus is contributing to the growing number of head and neck cancers in the United States, according to a new study Monday in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
The study found that the number of cases of oropharyngeal cancer - cancers of the tonsil, back of the mouth (throat) and base of the tongue - has been on the rise since the mid-1980s. The study suggests that one reason could an increase in the number of people having oral sex resulting in oral human papillomavirus exposure.
Researchers say these cancers fall into two categories–those caused by tobacco and alcohol and those caused by the sexually transmitted virus, HPV. They now believe approximately 70% of all oropharyngeal cancers are caused by HPV infection…” CNN
God is evil! Make a list of everything that is great and that you love to do. Then make a list of everything that is bad for you. Well hell… You can just make one list… It will be the same list. Everything that is something you love is something that is bad for you.
Some of you may remember the Jessi Slaughter story from YouTube. I did a video about the 11 year old girl.
Below is that video that I made. It was made on July 18, 2010.
About six months ago her father was arrested for hitting her.
On August 11th, 2011 she made a video saying she was sorry about her past. She also said she had been in mental hospitals and was in foster care and was sorry for her past actions. You can see that video under my video here.
The reason I am updating this story is that four days after she made the video saying she was sorry for her past actions her father died of a massive heart attack. That was on August 11, 2011.
If you had asked me who Christopher Titus was before last night I would have had no idea. But last night I was looking for something to watch and I saw his entire act on TV. It was “Christopher Titus: Neverlution.”
“Christopher Todd Titus (born October 1, 1964, Castro Valley, California) is an Emmy Award nominated American comedian and actor. He grew up in Newark, California. Titus came to national attention with the eponymous FOX show Titus.[1], of which he was the star, executive producer and co-creator. Time called the show "brutal, hilarious and audacious", while Newsday called him "TV's most original comic voice since Seinfeld". He is also a stand-up comedian whose act revolves around his dysfunctional family and shocking life experiences.”
I will be watching now for other comedy from him. I hope he has a good life. He has, like many people, had a hard life and many problems and I hope he has a great life from this time on. He has some real talent.
I was surprised that his show was an hour and 30 minutes but I think that was just right. Often you see a comedy act that runs an hour and it often is not long enough and you want more and the act comes to an end. He had timing and everything down just right.
You see a lot of guys doing an act and they do not have a good ending and all of a sudden they just wave and walk off stage. He nailed the entire “Neverlultion” act and the ending was great.
A pilot for Southwest Airlines apologized after his anti-gay tirade broadcast to other pilots. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss.
The Star-Telegram has a story about “Fort Worth community garden is gaining growing recognition.”
I would like to see community gardens all over Fort Worth and in every large city in the United States. Sort of a nation return to our old farms from the “old” days.
It would help with food costs for people and it would be health for people to eat and good for their health to have them out working in a garden.
If I was to win some big massive lottery win that is one of the things I would use the money for… Try and get the community garden movement up and running all over the United States.
You know excess food grown could be given to organizations that feed the poor and homeless. You could get school children doing it for schools. Get their little asses out in the garden and away from the cell phones and video games for a bit.
I hope the community garden movement takes off big time. It sounds like it is off to a good start in Fort Worth. But I do not think it will be a success here until I see one down the street from where I live.
“Watching violence on television or TV before bedtime can lead to sleep problems for preschoolers, according to a new study in the journal Pediatrics. Experts have known for some time that too much TV time can negatively impact our sleep, but this new research finds that what young children watch and when they watch it can make a difference as well.
The study looked at the television viewing habits and sleep problems of more than 600 preschoolers in Seattle, Washington. When children watched age appropriate TV in the morning or afternoon, they didn't have problems with their sleep, but when the shows contained violence, young people were more likely to experience nightmares and walk up feeling tired.
Part of the problem, researchers say, is that younger children are watching shows meant for older kids, and preschoolers can't yet distinguish fantasy from reality.
"For a 7- to 10-year-old they are really at a point where cognitively they can grasp that that's not real violence and they can see the humor in it – it's not frightening for them. But 3- to 5-year-olds just aren't developmentally there yet," explains study author Michelle Garrison, Ph.D., with the Seattle Children's Research Institute.
Garrison also found that watching television right before bedtime made it more difficult for children to get to sleep, meant more nightmares and waking up during the night, even if the shows were educational and geared specifically for young children…” CNN – The Chart
Think about the children that see violence right in their own homes. Think about the children that see violence right outside their home or apartment.
We need to do more for our children. We need to do better by them.
How many fathers just want their kids to go to bed so they can surf for porn.
We are learning more about children and our brains all the time.
But it appears to me that there is less interest in using the information. The Republicans want to do away with the Department of Education. The Republicans do not believe in science. The Republicans hate teachers.
Republicans want to cut taxes of the rich and give more money and benefits to the rich at the same time they want to cut help for children and working families.
One of my kids would not want to go to bed because “Star Trek” was on and it was on late. She was tired but she would stand in the rocking chair and rock back and forth and watch “Captain.” I would say “time for bed” or something like that and she would say “Captain.”
Sometimes I would just let her watch it and then she would go right to bed and other times when I knew she was very tired as soon as a advertisement came on I would say “Captain is over” and she would go to bed.
One of my other kids when she was older loved all animals. She loved hamburgers but would not eat them because it was made from cows. So I told her that they were made from beans and other stuff but not cows or animals. She ate a lot of hamburgers after that… I think she knew I was not telling the truth.
I think most of us try to do what is best for our children. We often fail.
It has got to be harder than hell now days to raise kids. I had four kids. I do not think I could do it now days. We need to support families and we need government to help.
“Sex can kill you if you're not in shape, researchers in Massachusetts have concluded.
Indeed, sudden spurts of moderate or intense physical activity like passionate sex (or even jogging) by people who don't get regular exercise greatly increase their chance of having a heart attack, researchers at Tufts Medical Center in Boston announced Tuesday.
Dr. Issa Dahabreh, whose study appears in the March 23 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Assn., explained that people are 3.5 times more likely to get a heart attack when they are exercising compared to when they are at rest. Likewise people are 2.7 times more likely to have a heart attack when they are having sex (or immediately afterward) than when they are not having sex.
Jessica Paulus, a researcher who worked on the study and who also teaches at Harvard, told Reuters that she doesn't want people to think that exercise (or sex) is bad for one's health…”
So I should tell all The Tea Party people to go get fucked is that correct?
I have asked this question before on subjects like this but I got to ask again… Is this study just about “sex” between two people or does it also a apply to someone having sex alone?
