Monday, ‘Dana & Parks’ found out ‘Ravens kicker Justin Tucker started his press conference with an up dog joke,’ so they called their boss and Bill Grady and heard as excepted, ‘What’s up dog?’

“Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever! (1 Chronicles 16:34)”

Fortunately, that kept me rolling, which I needed after I heard about the Campus Attack at Ohio State University.

“Remember, the first step in avoiding a trap is knowing that one has been set.”

She’s been trying to get me to respond to Messenger, which is not where any conversation with her is headed, ‘Do you remember how we were all worried when your sister died?’ Pretty soon it’ll be about her and her problems, and insulting me again; yeah, phishing is prohibited here, you expletive.

I went offline quickly to finish Episode VI: It’s a Trap (Episode aired 22 May 2011)

This is senseless 042

“Can you feel it, see it, hear it today? / If you can’t, then it doesn’t matter anyway / You will never understand it ‘cause it happens too fast”

Clearly, “Racist White Woman Trump Rant in Chicago Store” is the real danger, not Abdul Razak Ali Artan who believes “Threats of an Anti-Muslim Holocaust,” then attacks people at Ohio State with his vehicle, and slices people with a butcher knife.

“As he came from his mother’s womb he shall go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil that he may carry away in his hand. (Ecclesiastes 5:15)”

Need to red dress some Issues

Print what you like, the temperature  overnight was around 50 degrees, so I had the fan in my room on in order to sleep. I sometimes wake up for short periods and somewhere between 6 this morning and 9 this morning, I had similar dreams

• The first dream was sometime before 6 this morning where everywhere I turned at home I was month by neighbors I didn’t even know I had, and I was not able to dial the emergency number because the phone menu was suddenly incomprehensible
• The second dream I had to repeat a numerical sequence, but I don’t remember the context
• Finally, I was in a class where I was required to not use puns to write a creative work inspired by faith, and I was given a word of advice which I can only conclude an acronym- - R.I.O.T it out

“Instead of your shame, there shall be a double portion;
instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot;
therefore in their land, (Isaiah 61:7)
they shall possess a double portion;
they shall have everlasting joy.”

Whirlwind weekend 032

While I might not discuss politics on Facebook,
I was visiting my friend Josh two weeks ago and we did.

He’d seen a segment on ‘Last Week Tonight with John Oliver’ about the presidential candidates in the Libertarian Party and the Green Party; he didn’t really like Clinton or Trump, but he didn’t like the alternatives either, so he chose not to vote.

Mentally I could only respond, “That is a lucid, intelligent, well-thought-out objection.” Yesterday, I treated my father and sister to Chinese lunch, which the little I made Sunday can offset, yet with diminishing returns I don’t want to work at the new pizza place.

“And calling the crowd to him with his disciples,
he said to them, ‘If anyone would come after me,
let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

We finished ‘Stranger Things,’
and eagerly await season two.

Bringing down the Landslide, part 5

The title of this post is only somewhat deceptive, unlike the electoral subterfuge currently underway, and I-I mean the opposite of what is expressed by Stevie Nicks; I do not intend to let a landslide of emotion Bring Me Down, but rather to take down or counter such effects.

I get weak when you’re next to me, and when I haven’t eaten enough. I observed how critical this was on Monday. Seriously, some days I’ll have something at 11 or noon and then not substantial until probably 6 o’clock or later when my lunch break is at work.

Gobbled up 1/2 price single-patty Cheeseburgers Tuesday at Sonic Drive-In, twice actually before work. I did all right Wednesday because people brought things to celebrate our manager’s birthday. Evening on Thanksgiving, I could only go to bed.

From a book by Susan Jacoby on anti-intellectualism,
“Video culture has triumphed over print culture,” I once read on audio cd.

Friday is the day trash is collected in my neighborhood, and-and Thanksgiving has delayed this until Saturday. I take the trash out at 2 in the morning so I don’t have to at 6 in the morning, and today I was awake at 5 in the morning because I watched YouTube.

I have to be sure I am well liked,
a primary motivator for my adoption of these rules,
so I talk no politics on Facebook:

1. Politics is not considered polite conversation.
2. I do not know enough about the issues to discuss them calmly or avoid ad hominem.
3. I am on the opposite side of the debate on most issues.
4. I do not like being wrong or being made a fool.
5. I would rather keep friends and be respectful.

I am recovering from some minor embarrassment.

There was a video shared to Facebook about how to evaluate a story, whether or not it is fake news. I saw the video and the very next day I shared a fake story to Twitter, which I admitted to my friend who had shared with a fake story and the video.

Can we say the power of mainstream media is diminished when I see friends concerned

• about fake news which apparently skewed the electorate away from Clinton,
• or the sudden danger of the alternative right?

Stories being put forth by the mainstream media whose power was certainly diminished when Clinton was defeated, huh?

“Oh give thanks to the LORD;
call upon his name; (Psalms 105:1)
make known his deeds among the peoples!”

Into Harmony’s Way

Before my father, sister and I arrived, there were the mother, and the father, their son, and their daughter and her husband. And their grandparents joined us later.

“Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways and be wise.

Like the Christmas after my mother passed, I figured we would be joining friends who we knew from church, but I didn’t know they were who usually sit behind us.

Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, (Proverbs 6:6-11)

The wonderful Thanksgiving feast featured turkey, corn, mashed potatoes, gravy, banana slices suspended in red gelatin colloid, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, sliced pumpkin bread, dinner rolls and stuffing.

she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in the harvest.

I could tell you when Pete Rose was suspended from baseball because he was mentioned in a 1986 feature film, which starred Drew Barrymore and was sold at McDonald’s, called ‘Babes in Toyland,’ where they talk a lot about Cincinnati, Ohio.

How long will you lie there, O sluggard?
When will you arise from your sleep?

We played ‘Wits & Wagers.’ Five teams of two played; my sister and their mother formed one team, their son-in-law read the questions and teamed up with their grandfather.

A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest,

Their grandmother and daughter were good when they guessed, my father and their son were good when they guessed and also on the wagers, but their father and I had at least three correct answers.

and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.”

Later we enjoyed pumpkin pie and pecan pie;

both were also available as gluten-free.

Waspinator has plans...

With whom, or when I don’t know, my father says we’re having Thanksgiving with friends, and a Word of the Day from Dictionary.com - boon - something to be thankful for.

“But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself,
if only I may finish my course (Acts 20:24)
and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus,
to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.”
