Today’s Memes

 



Thoughts for the day

It’s a breezy day.

My port placement was simple yesterday. My first treatment was moved to Monday, but that’s ok.

I have occasional bouts with ‘Why me?’ due to my medical issues. Then I go to a medical office and see many patients who are much worse shape than I am. Then I am happy that I can deal with all this and stay positive.

I’m happy that Trump is waiting 2-weeks to decide if he will bomb Iran. Sadly, that also gives Iran time to move its centrifuges out of harms way. I do wish he was more of a diplomat, keep his cards close to his vest, and not give information to the enemy that is beneficial to them. 

Historic Figures who never existed…

Helen of Troy©Evelyn De Morgan on Wikimedia

If you're familiar with Greek mythology, Helen of Troy is said to have been the most beautiful woman in Greece and allegedly sparked the Trojan War—at least, that's how her life was detailed in Homer's Odyssey and Iliad. But perhaps the fact that she's a prominent figure in Greek mythology offers a telling clue: she likely never was a real person.

Random Thoughts…

Falling cocoanuts are more lethal and kill more people every year than sharks.

The guitar solo in Michael Jackson’s Beat It was performed by Eddie Van Halen.

The ZIP in “ZIP code” is an acronym for “Zone Improvement Plan”

Mr. Potato Head was introduced by the Hasbro company in 1952.

A group of Baby Chicks is called a Clutch or Chattering.

Actors are referred to as Thespians out of respect for Thespis, the first known actor in written plays.
