Cures for Insomnia
Three solutions for insomnia were offered, two of which were made up.
1. NAPFLIX - A television channel showing boring stuff, like curling contests, burning log fires, sleeping animals, knitting, etc., guaranteed to put you to sleep.
(For years now, whenever I try to watch baseball, I fall asleep. Works for me.)
2. CLAMMY PAJAMMIES: Sleep clothing that you can put into your refrigerator, so that it's coolness will lull you to sleep... just like frogs and snakes in hibernation.
(The other day, I took my sleep clothing out of the dryer before it was completely dry. The coldness and dampness bugged me too much to allow me to wear them for more than 5 minutes. So Clammy Pajammies would not be for me.)
3. CATATOMIC: A company that comes into your bedroom at night armed with a couple of cats that are trained to "make biscuits" on your legs, back or buttocks. This is supposed to calm you way down so that you sleep soundly. (You can have your choice of cats.)
Well... which one of these three solutions is the true one? Yes, of course, it's NAPFLIX. Watch for it's ads.
What's Your Score?
China is developing a rating system for everybody in their vast country. Everyone will be given a score from one to ten, just like at a beauty contest. One wonders how they will do it, what the categories will be, and who will make the final decision on each person.
How would that work in the United States? I think that Donald Trump already uses such scores on those females he loves, hates and/or fondles. I guess Rosy ODonnell rates a one, as well as Carly and Megan. But, beautiful women like Ivanka must be a ten. If Trump becomes President, how would he rate Andrea Merkel?
Want to Live to be 100?
Some study says that if one wants to live a long life, it is necessary to have sex every day and eat garlic every day. (Could the two really go together?)
Elaine gets deathly ill when she eats garlic. We have to be very careful when we order food at a restaurant or the Bistro. I, on the other hand, love garlic, and I miss it. When my grandkids would visit in their younger days, we would make "garlic eggs".. my grandson, Dylan, especially liked it, and I think he might even make it today.
Italian immigrants often made their kids wear cloves of garlic around their necks, to ward off colds, flu, and vampires. I guess the smell kept the other kids away and therefore germs could not be passed to the garlic owner. Sounds like a good idea to me.
Our National Anthem
Did you know that there are four stanzas to our National Anthem, and at least one of them bad-mouths the poor British sailors caught up in the bombardment of Fort McHenry? I'll have to investigate that some more.
Keep Your Deceased Relatives With You Forever?
A company is now making drinking, eating, cooking, and baking utensils from your deceased loved ones ashes. So, every time you take a sip of brew from the "Grandma Beer Glass" her memory will visit you again.. and again.
..........Bye for now.................
