Spring? Today, it was 50 degrees and tomorrow it is supposed to be in the 60's. What the hell is going on? Obviously, this is part of a Russian plot to confuse us into lowering our guard and overlook the weird things that Putin is doing... in Syria?
Did you notice the name similarity? Putin .. Palin
Here are a few more ramblings... I'm sorry but I can't help it.
Malcolm X
The autobiography of Malcolm X starts with all the bad things that he did in his youth.. and then it turns to the good things, in his estimation, that he did. A good way to get and keep attention. So.. as I am planning "my autobiography" I think that I will try to do what Malcolm did. First, if I have enough chapters available, I will outline all of the bad things I did in my youth... and then, I will outline what a "goody 2 shoes" I became in my later life. It might work... I'll try it.
Schools No Fun Any More!
For years, elementary school boys have been sticking "Kick Me!" signs to teachers' butts... but no longer since a New York City principal has classified such action as "Infraction A33 - engaging in bullying behavior" and punishes "evildoers" with an automatic two day suspension.
Bird's Eye View
One of Elaine's friends, Sue Yingling, writes a nature column for the Carroll County Times. Some times she likes to show us quotes related to birds... here are a few:
"Oh, for a horse with wings." .. William Shakespeare
"There is an eagle in me that wants to soar, and there is a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud." .. Carl Sandburg
"The early bird catches the worm." .. William Camden
(Yeah ...but look what happened to the worm for getting up early... Prepop.)
(Or, in better words from Franklin D. Roosevelt: "I think we consider the early bird and not enough the bad luck of the early worm.")
"God gives every bird his worm, but He does not throw it into the nest." .. P. D. James
"Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." .. Harper Lee
"Accept that some days you are the pigeon, and some days you are the statue." .. Disbert
And last, but not least... this is a quotation that I wrote out for a fellow worker who was getting discouraged by feeling she was not as computer-savvy as her coworkers. This quote served her well in her future endeavors.:
"Use what talents you possess: the woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang there except those that sang best." ... Henry Van Dyke (Think about that!)
Bladder Problems Solved?
This is old news from Bottom Line Health 2005, but I'm putting it on my blog, hoping that it will trigger a response. Maybe it was a solution.. maybe not.
"In an Austrian study of 20 women, doctors transplanted the patients' own stem cells into the wall of the urethra. Once infected, the stem cells form new muscle cells that contract more tightly and prevent urinary leaking. The procedure is not yet available in the U.S."
This was before Myrbetriq.
By the way, Orange is the New Black had one segment that focused on women's ignorance of their own plumbing. I know that men probably have no idea of female anatomy... but I wonder if women do. Maybe it's taught in school now.. but I doubt it.
