My Rambling Thoughts

Slowly getting my intestines back to normal. Never wanted to pay so much attention of poop. Looks like recovery is just around the corner. Went to bed early (7p) and didn’t get up till 7a. Very unusual for me, but worked. BRAT diet is less than enjoyable…bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. But it works.

Glad to see 45 out with the victims of the hurricane. Trying so hard to be a ‘silk purse’. But I recall one of my mom’s favorites: You can’t make a silk purse out of sow’s ear.

Naked Skydiver Plays Violin: Australia ---*

An Australian man celebrated his 30th birthday by skydiving naked while playing a violin to promote male body image. Musician Glen Donnelly leapt from a plane over New South Wales in hopes of raising a total of $15,000 for a trio of charities related to mental health and body image. "I'm being a real man by sharing the struggles that have plagued my life for ten years," Donnely wrote on the GoFundMe page. Donnelly completed the tandem jump wearing nothing but a harness as he played "Happy Birthday" for himself on the $50 violin. Donnelly compared his nerves prior to the nude skydiving stunt to the anxiety he felt dealing with his body dysmorphic disorder. In the two days following Donnelly's jump he was able to raise nearly $3,500 of his $15,000 goal.

My Rambling Thoughts

I figured the antibiotic I took was what was causing havoc on my digestive system. However, I decided today to head for my PCP to be sure. I’m now on a BRAT diet. Used to be called a bland diet. Of course, had to have a blood draw and a stool sample to be sure it was the antibiotic. Had to run over to the local hospital. One guy in the waiting room was 754 and he was talking to a woman who was a proud 74. They had an interesting discussion that the reason our country is so messed up right now is that God has been removed from the public schools for so long that today’s young people have no moral direction. Then I go into the blood draw lab and the guy comes in and says “Hi, I’m Tony and I’ll be doing your phlebotomy.” No, it’s just a blood draw. He looks at the paper, another lady comes in and they discuss how much blood they are taking. I asked to have it done in my hand and Tony misses the vein. The other lady who never introduced herself finished the draw and all went well. Then another lady comes in with all the crap needed for a stool sample. Of course, I can’t do anything right then, so brought it home and await the time to do it.

Many scientists are on NPR and some TV explaining to the idiots in the world that the flooding is made worse by Climate Change. Also found out that the Houston area has had no problem with building on flood plains, even after being warned that flooding would be worse as the years go by. We just help out when needed, even when much could have been prevented.

*------- The Clothes Make the Shop-Lifter -------*

Police in Louisiana released security camera footage of a shoplifter taking 18 bottles of wine and liquor from a store by shoving them in her clothes and purse. The security camera footage from the Thrifty Liquor Store in Shreveport shows a woman concealing 18 bottles of wine and liquor in her purse, pants, and bra before paying for a single bottle of alcohol and leaving the store. The video, posted to YouTube by the Shreveport-Caddo Crime Stoppers, led to the Shreveport City Marshal's Office and Louisiana State Probation and Parole Office identifying the woman in the footage as Sekonie Jones, 37. Jones was contacted by investigators and surrendered. She was arrested on a count of misdemeanor theft.

A man called police after his wife stopped him from playing in the park with his buddies--with a handgun. 

George Postell of Florida said that he was playing dominoes with his friends at the park in High Springs. His wife approached the group of players and told them to get up and leave. The group of players complied with the irritated woman's demands. 

George got up as well and he began walking away from his wife together with his friends. 

44-year-old Twyla Postell was not happy with her husband's actions, and according to witnesses, she pulled out a gun and shot in his direction. 

Thankfully, she did not aim well and missed her husband. Police were called and Twyla was arrested. Twyla denied the claim that she fired a shot. She said that the sound came from kids' fireworks.

When police did not believe her over eyewitnesses, Twyla said that she is on probation for battery and that she "wouldn't do anything to mess that up," according to police.

Twyla was booked into the Alachua County Jail, on a charge of domestic violence and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.

My Rambling Thoughts

I don’t have any friends or acquaintances in Texas or Louisiana. Our school did have a program for parent involvement and I met a lot of teachers from Port Arthur who were also using the same program. This is that areas second flooding in the past decade. As I see all this humanity working together, there is hope for this country.

When there was damage from Hurricane Sandy, several Texans in the Congressional delegation voted against the Sandy funding bill. Now Ted Cruz is changing history, stating that he voted against it because over 50% of the money had nothing to do with Sandy. Guess Ted doesn’t understand the internet machine. Several of those pesky fake news networks have pulled up information, and less than 2% went for disaster aid not directly related to Sandy. Don’t like to agree with 45 but his ‘Lying Ted’ label fits in this case.

My mother lived in an upscale independent living place for a decade then a few years in a upscale healthcare facility. Whenever a disaster strikes the news always shows those places evacuating. Always thankful that my mom never had to go through that.

*- Waiter Draws Straight Line in the Ice Cream -*

A restaurant in Washington, has come under fire after a gay couple claimed that a waiter refused to serve them an ice cream with two spoons for them to share. 55-year-old Ron Gage and 58-year-old Henry McKinnon said they went to the Prime Rib restaurant to enjoy a romantic night out. They said that everything went fine until they asked for a single serving of ice cream with two spoons. The waiter's mood soured, and he refused to serve them the ice cream in a single serving, saying that it would not sit well with the ambiance of the restaurant. Gage and McKinnon were speechless and did not say anything to the waiter or the manager. The following day, the couple made their story public on social media sites after which James MacLeod, the manager of the Prime Rib restaurant, fired the waiter.
