Happy Independence Day (And Happy Birthday Mom)

The 4th of July for most on Earth is another day in the week, month year. Independence Day is when the greatest country was started.

For the readers of this blog, my medical diagnosis says that this will be my last one to celebrate.

I don’t want to get into it with internet pukes because what really matters is that it’s my Mom’s Birthday and the Day She died, July 4th. I’m also patriotic so I got lucky to grow up and live in the USA.

My mom was a patriot for God, but loved the USA. We were middle class and no more growing up. She lived through the depression so a dollar stretched to about $4.50 for our family. She had a masters degree in Education and Music, but chose to be a homemaker and a mother. That’s how I’ll remember her on this day.

Back to the original premise, we might have never made it to the moon, or invented air conditioning, cars, planes, trains and numerous medical advancements that have helped the world for the last 250 years.

I know haters shoot at #1, so it’s the Democrats who hate the good in our country. Hating America: The Hollywood Left’s Worst Anti-American Outbursts. You can see from the World Cup that the rest of the world woke up to the fact that the media lies about the good that the USA does for people primarily because of Trump (current excuse). The media are liars vying for power by means of thought and word, but they have been against anything that is right for the country and serve their leader, the devil.

Trump will go down as either good or bad, loved or hated or how ever he goes down in history, but he’s just a piece of the last 250 years of making the world better.

I stopped going to see my wife’s relatives in Europe because they just spout the media talking points about how bad we are. I was tired of their ignorance and prejudice as the Euro press possibly hates the US more than the Democrats. I don’t have to listen to it this way. I can read the European press and find out what her family would say to me. I have very little time left on Earth, I’m not going to waste it on people who are ignorant.

Europe is a museum now of what used to be great. The USA has been the leader in most things for decades. I bet the rest of the world gets tired of hearing the Star Spangled Banner every day at the Olympics or other global sporting events (I think soccer is a 2nd tier sport despite what the rest of the world tries to tell us).

So Happy Birthday Mom, and the rest of the world should be happy that we made it as a country, especially Europe around 1917 and 1940-45. It would be one big Germany otherwise. (She’s been gone 20 years now).

No country has invented more or helped more people medically, socially and historically. I’ll give you that the art from hundreds of years ago is better and looks good in the European museums, but they are static. People are working to invent new ways of doing things and curing illness (except Covid, that was a lie we told).

No other country has a hot dog eating contest on the 4th either.

Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people. — Proverbs 14:34

Why Dogs Don’t Live As Long As Humans – Explaned By a 6 Year Old

(Note: This originally posted sometime around 2013, but so many people keep clicking on it, I thought I’d just post it for everyone who missed it)

This story Melt My heart  so I wanted to share it. enjoy.

Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.

I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.

As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.

The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker ‘s family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.

The little boy seemed to accept Belker’s transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker’s Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.
Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, ”I know why.”

Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I’d never heard a more comforting explanation. It has changed the way I try and live.

He said,”People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life — like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” The Six-year-old continued,

”Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long.”

Live simply.

Love generously.

Care deeply.

Speak kindly.

Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy.

Take naps.

Stretch before rising.

Run, romp, and play daily.

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.

On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.

When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Be loyal.

Never pretend to be something you’re not.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.

ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY!

I’m not Going To be Able To Post Much Anymore (and why), so here are some Top Posts On This Blog

(Note: this is an update. Will B. Done pointed out that the links didn’t work, so I fixed them so you can click and enjoy)

I’ve written this blog since August of 2005. It was originally meant for my job in analyst relations, but took a turn when I retired in 2011. It’s morphed into any number of things from humor, sarcasm, anti-Covid Jab and my ramblings on life.

I start Chemotherapy next week, so it’s going to slow down considerably, although I’ll post from time to time. I’ve scheduled some posts so it will look like I’m continuing as I suffer through the poison they will be putting in me. You’ll read something every day this week, but I’m not collecting headlines. I hope to be back, I just know I won’t have any energy

I want to say that I’ve enjoyed the 10’s of thousands of comments, and different groups of readers.

I mostly wrote it as it is my favorite form of communication. If you read anything about me, you know I’m introverted so small talk isn’t my greatest strength.

I pulled the list of top posts. It’s funny to me that my most successful post is Euphemisms for Stupid, which was number one on Google for over 10 years in that category.

As I look at the list, I see various stages of my life and different careers. I see family, pets and co-workers. I’m especially proud of My Dad. It’s the post, On Behalf of the President of the United States.

I wish you all the best and a longer life than me.

It’s not over, but for sure will not be as consistent.

If anyone wants to guest post, send it to me simonize@protonmail.com and I’ll try to put it up and give you credit.

Sexy Nurses, Naughty Cops And Playboy Bunnies: The Halloween Dilemma Haunting Men For All Eternity

It’s a debate as old as Halloween itself.

Is it acceptable for a woman, particularly a woman in a relationship, to dress up for Halloween in a skimpy, provocative costume? We all know the kind of which I speak. The naughty cop who struts around with handcuffs. The sexy nurse. The Playboy Bunny. The devil horns, crop-top, mini skirt trifecta. At what point should women retire the slutty Halloween costumes?

There are many sides to this debate. Some women believe they should be able to dress up in whatever manner they see fit, even if their costume makes a Moscow escort blush, and even if they are in a relationship. Others believe that when they are single, they can pull out all the stops. But once they have a man, they need to get more creative and pick a costume that isn’t simply bunny ears with a bikini, or opt for a couple’s costume. Finally, there are the conservative women who always take the goofy and/or clever route, like wearing a giant inflatable dinosaur costume, no matter their relationship status.

Halloween only gets complicated for men when their girlfriend or spouse dresses up in an extremely provocative manner. There are men who don’t want to come across as jealous or controlling, and will bottle up their insecurity even when their girlfriend leaves the house looking like Hugh Hefner’s cocktail waitress. Some men actually don’t care, and maybe even like it when their girlfriend leaves literally nothing to the imagination. Others won’t put up with it at all.

Here’s my take on the timeless debate: you are never going to stop adult women from dressing slutty on Halloween; it’s impossible. They’ve been doing it forever. And obviously, I’m talking about adult women. Parents should be ashamed if their teenage daughters are trick-or-treating while looking like OnlyFans harlots.

My college girlfriend could just go as herself, she was already a cheating whore.

Money Or Love? What Did Gen Z Pick?

The best looking girl I ever took to bed told me that her answer was Money. Her voice had a southern accent that would melt you if you got past her beauty.

Anyway, after that comment, I knew from that instant we would be nothing but bed buddies. What kills me is that I was broke at the time. All I had to offer was a good time, no frills. A girl like that could get anyone, but gave me a few months of her life. She got her millionaire eventually (and got rid of him). I got free from a lot of future head and heartaches.

Now this…….

Nearly Half of Gen Z Say They Would Choose Financial Stability Over Love

In a heartbreaking sign of just how badly the Biden-Harris economic disaster has affected America’s youth, a shocking new survey revealed that nearly half of Gen Z, 46 percent, would abandon all hope of romance for money.

Matchmaking company Tawkify surveyed 1,000 Americans to “explore how daters today weigh love, money, and emotional baggage,” and the results were disheartening.

The pollsters found:

Millennials are likeliest to choose love over money: 59% would prioritize a “broke and magical” relationship over financial security compared to 54% of Gen Z, 48% of baby boomers, and 46% of Gen X.

Gen X is the most financially pragmatic, with 52% choosing security over romance.

Women are likelier than men to choose love over money: 58% of women would prioritize a “broke and magical” relationship over financial security, compared to only 51% of men.

Nearly 7 in 10 Americans (69%) have stayed in a relationship longer than they should have due to shared finances; 44% of these situations were temporary, and 25% were long-term.

Not only would Gen Z give up love for cash, the pollsters found that 29 percent would consider “reuniting with an ex-partner if that person became wealthy.”

So just like the girl who gave me the goods for a few months, they are shallow. The good part was that I worked with the girl I was sleeping with. These days it would get you fired, but not then.

For the record, Terry from GMC, it was you.

Some Dark Lessons In The Area Of Love

· The person who cares less has the most power in a relationship.

· No one will ever be able to make you feel loved unless you love yourself.

· You can’t change others.

· No matter how hot you find someone, you’ll get used to their appearance faster than you like.

· The cute little quirks of today can be the soul-crushing flaws of tomorrow.

· We will all eventually become old and unattractive in the eyes of society.

· Often, the less you care about a particular woman, the easier it is to end up with her.

· Both sexes are easy to manipulate with the same principles that marketers use to sell us crap – scarcity, commitment, reciprocity, authority, social proof, and liking.

· Men will never know how it feels to be a woman and vice versa.

· You can love your partner till death and still want to sleep with others.

· You can’t always get what (who) you want.

· Love, dating, and relationship can’t be “figured out” logically. They require empathy, vulnerability, and honesty.

· Emotions change all the time. It’s possible to think you love someone with all your heart, but then one day you sober up and find out you truly don’t.

· When in love, everyone becomes an idiot.

· “Show me any beautiful woman, and I’ll show you a man who’s tired of sleeping with her.”

· The higher you set the expectations from the beginning, the harder it will be to maintain the relationship. E.g., Send your girlfriend flowers every day and it will be cute for the first three days, cheesy after that, then awkward, and finally unbearable.

· The opposite of well is well-meaning.

Shakespeare on What Quality Is Important To Him In Women

Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, shall win my love. - William Shakespeare

I agree that looks fade away. You have to peel back the layers and find the jewel inside.

There are many beautiful women who are kind and loving, but many also that just trade on their looks. Too many have paid price of the Siren’s Song.

Time is fair to everyone. Sooner or later we all get old and all that is left is what is inside.

Great Sayings – Why We Love Someone

Nobody loves a woman because she is handsome or ugly, stupid or intelligent. We love because we love.

-Honore de Balzac

 

There is someone for everyone.  I once read (so it might be somewhat true) that there are 15,000 Mr. or Mrs. Right’s for each person.  The problem is that they are spread around the world so they might not be next door.

The other saying is that goes with this is that Love is blind.  You love because we were created to love and to be together.

With all the nonsense going on in the world right now, it would be a whole lot better if we concentrated on loving someone instead of causing mayhem because they think they hate someone.

Love is a decision.  The romance usually wears off in 12-18 months.  After that, it is a cause, not an emotion.  Looks wear off with age.  The real beauty is inside a person.

Let that sink in.

Great Sayings – On Love by H.L. Mencken

“Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.” – H. L. Mencken

Let’s face it, a first date is like a job interview.  You put on a persona of yourself that is the best version of you.  It takes a long time to find out who the other person really is.  While this is happening, both people are playing a video of what they think is going on and how good it is, until it isn’t or you get into a long term relationship.  At that point, you find out that the other person farts and looks like hell in the morning.  The other warts come out and then it becomes does the costs of this person outweigh the benefits.

Fortunately, there is someone for everyone and hopefully that someone has enough patience to put up with your bag of crap that you have (or you put up with theirs).

Either way, it is imagination that makes the heart grow fonder, not distance.

Great Sayings – Samuel Butler on Love

“It is better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all.” – Samuel Butler

 

OK, this is a play on words, but sometimes this is right.  Everyone breaks up with the someone they thought was Mr/Mrs wonderful at first.  Sometimes it is nasty and there are hard feelings.  That is when this saying is true.

This is humor folks, try and remember that before you get offended.
