Reading lists

It still amazes me how many hits this blog gets. Especially since I have not been posting regularly since my wife died on May 30th. Another thing that amazes me is the post that gets the most hits.

"Now Boarding at Gate 999" is the most read post I have done. Here is a link to that post:
http://justsomeposts.blogspot.com/2010/03/now-boarding-at-gate-999.html

The second most read post is "Another Ramble". Here is a link to that one.

It appears there are a fair number of people out there that can appreciate my idiotic sense of humor. If you like those types of posts, here are a few more to check out:

AND ONE OF MY FAVORITES IN THIS VEIN:

There are a group of posts scattered about this blog, all with "Memories" or a very stupid name for the title. These are attempts at humor as well, with retellings of "memories" of a childhood from a twisted point of view. Here is one of those without the word memories in the title:

Now for a few of the other posts I have done.

On the absurdity of political ads.
http://justsomeposts.blogspot.com/2010/10/but-you-dont-want-to-vote-for-them.html

One on the inequalities of life. Especially relevant in light of the "Occupy _____" movement of today.
http://justsomeposts.blogspot.com/2009/11/want-some-cheese-with-that.html

On health care coverage and global warming hoax.
http://justsomeposts.blogspot.com/2009/11/tsk-tsk-tsk.html
I have MANY, MANY of these. I feel this is one of the biggest hoaxes every perpetrated upon mankind.

For my wife, here is one that I wrote after a trip we took to visit her mother.

You can see all these posts and learn about MSA at my other blog - http://www.livingwithasnowman.blogspot.com/


I greatly appreciate all the readers I do have. Do me a favor and read at least one other post after the Gate 999 post.

Even more Questions

You may get this more if you read (or re-read) these older posts: "A Serious One" from 4/6/08 "Alphabet diseases" from 11/13/07 and "Questions" from 1/20/08 I am still trying to get answers to the Questions asked in the post above. I have not found any that are worthy of printing. I have come up with more questions: How does one handle seeing the continual decline of their spouse and not being able to do a thing about it? How do you take the inability of your 53 year old wife to get out of bed, or in and out of the shower unaided? How do you answer questions that beg not to be asked, like: will I see Bailey (our daughter, a rising senior)graduate; will Hannah (our granddaughter - almost 3) remember me; or will I see Landon (or grandson - 6 months) walk? How do you comfort your bride of 35+ years when she looks at you with tears streaming down her face? Most of all, how do you offer support and help when you are so damn mad at the world and the situa...

Late Night (early morning?) Thoughts

I was laying there trying to go to sleep last night (without much success, as I have a toothache), and my mind was wandering. I don't know about your mind, but when mine wanders....whoa! (just look at some earlier posts) So, I was thinking about George Washington (what...you don't think about our founding fathers when you are lying there trying to go to sleep?) and how he was called "the Father of our Country". I further thought that there is not a "Mother of our Country" (unless Martha gets it by default, but I don't think so). Then I started thinking about "family" or relationship nicknames. This is to be a participatory blog. I want you all to write back with the ones you think of that I missed. Here are the ones I thought of (I was up quite a while with my tooth!): Father of our Country, the Founding Fathers, Uncle Sam, Mother Earth, Mother Nature, Mother of all battles (or bombs), a priest is called - Father, a Mother Superior runs a conv...

US vs THEM - HATE REIGNS

The Human Race, as we know it today, is thought to have started about two million years ago with the first of the Genus Homo - Homo habilis. A note: although as factual as I can make it, some "facts" here are not universally accepted, nor are they totally proven - I am presenting them to you as the best accepted facts as we know them today based on my research. I am not an anthropologist, nor do I have any formal training in the field. This is not meant to be a scientific paper from that perspective. There may have been a distant ancestor that could have met the criteria to be considered of the Genus Homo, but they are speculative as best as I can determine with my limited knowledge. If you are wondering what qualifies a creature as belonging to our genus, as best as I can determine it is the change to bipedalism, or walking upright on two legs. This helped make changes in body structure - and was caused by them as well - like longer legs, change to spinal structu...
