No...I'm not going to some spa or vacation hideaway . My internist after reviewing my history and realizing my heightened anxiety was not being helped by a myriad of specialists having me on anti-anxiety meds ,counseling, yoga, meditation, hypnotists, and practically every type of doctor to attempt to calm my jittery nerves finally finally has decided I need to see an entomologist. Why you ask.? Because he says I'm "bugged out".
THEY ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW. Speeding tickets? Ever get one? Nobody wants to get caught speeding. People speed all the time, sometimes at very excessive dangerous speeds. But rarely do we here about those violators that do it indoors. I'm talking about in the supermarkets.
While working or shopping in supermarkets I have seen people speeding and get summonses by the supermarket police. AND...they deserve them. I'm talking about people driving those motorized special need carts. Sure, I feel sorry their mobility is impaired ,often impossible to shop without them BUT does that give them the right to speed up and down the aisles.? These are not Go-Karts. It's not the Indy or Daytona 500 race. I'm glad the supermarket cops in the stores I work in are enforcing the law here. Shoppers should not have to shop in fear or put their lives in jeopardy when these careless and thoughtless people zoom around the aisles . Being handicapped in some way is no excuse. They must obey the laws like everybody else. From what I've been told by supermarket policemen or policewomen, the first speeding offense is $50 which should prove to be a a deterrent. . Second time caught speeding is $200 fine plus barred from that store for a full year and getting their special need cart licensed suspended for 18 months. If this doesn't stop these maniacs , 6 months in the supermarket prison in some clandestine location is what awaits them where there only meals will consist of frozen food meat and vegetable alternatives. Knocking over displays and endcaps around the store is one thing but when the reckless driving puts us all in danger , there is no choice except for harsh punitive measures. I applaud those brave supermarket police who put their lives and donuts on the line for shoppers like you and me every day.

HUNGRY?
Pinnacle Foods, the makers of Hungry -Man dinners is announcing a new line of dinners specifically designed for woman. After being pressured by a myriad of women's equal right groups, it was decided the time has come for this delicious line of entrees called Hungry-Lady dinners. The gentle easily opened pink and yellow boxes can be eaten by either sex or transgenders . These dinners have fewer calories and less carbohydrates and are approximately 25% smaller in ounces than their rugged male counterparts.
These Hungry-Lady dinners are higher in such nutrients as folic acid, iron, B vitamins, pro-biotics and estrogen. They're especially appealing to women with several entrees that include candy, salads, cupcakes, espresso, steak, and yogurt and guacamole. Hungry -Lady dinners will be available in supermarkets and Walmarts, Targets, etc starting this June. I just know my wife is not getting the chocolate pudding in my Hungry -Man boneless fried chicken or chopped sirloin steak entrees. She can have my string beans.
Did you know that if you multiply 111,111,111 X 111,111,111 you get 12,345, 678,987,654,321. REALLY !!!! I needed proof so I did the multiplication myself and after almost an hour (including a 5 minute bathroom break), and using up about half the pages in a small memo pad , I actually came up with that answer. My next venture is to figure out how many seconds there are in a year and then multiply that by the speed of light. (186,000 miles per second). Those calculations should fill up the other half of the aforementioned memo pad. Then I'll reward myself by watching an old Star Trek episode.
Krispy Kreme nabbed headlines earlier this week for promising a free glazed doughnut every day for the rest of the year to anyone who presents a COVID vaccination card. But the doughnut purveyor isn’t the only restaurant or bar getting on the vaccine-incentive bandwagon. Around the country, operators are finding creative ways to boost business while rewarding customers for getting their shots. In New York, Nathan’s Famous is handing out free hot dogs at its Coney Island location to anyone on the same day they get vaccinated, through the end of April. Well. I'm getting my 2nd dose of the Moderna vaccine this weekend here on Long Island ,NY . In fact I'll ask for a shot in each arm and then driving straight to Coney Island for my free hot dogs and I'll buy some French fries while I'm there, of course...maybe take a spin on the Cyclone roller coaster and then drive into Manhattan and pick up my free Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut. Bon Apetit.
As a student of all the sciences, I decided to examine this proverbial expression to see if it was indeed a fact or fiction. Is this statement saying that a watched pot never boils just a myth.? I needed to further examine this postulate or theorem using the scientific method I had learned in my years of taking courses in the fields of science. I believe you just can't accept something because somebody says so, ............so I set out a course of action well thought out and planned to once and for all know the answer to this question that has intrigued mankind throughout the millennia. I placed a pot of water on the stove, sat at a nearby table and watched and stared and waited and waited ..waiting for even a faint whisper of steam or something to confirm this idea which has dumbfounded chefs for centuries...Is it true that a watched pot never boils. ? Nothing was happening. As I continued my indefatigable gazing at the pot, my wife came into the kitchen about 90 minutes into my scientific investigation. She said to me, "Whatever you're cooking might cook faster if you turned on the stove, "
No. I'm not talking about soap. A friend of my daughter had a surplus of soup she made and I ended up getting a container of it. It was coconut soup with shrimp. There were plenty of big shrimp but the flavor was a bit.....soapy. Even my wife who is allergic to shrimp said the soup smelled like laundry detergent. I wouldn't go that far to say that but what the hell is in it that it tasted like soap?
So...I looked up coconuts and read an acid called lauric acid is in coconut oil that tastes like soap. Then I found out these green shreds in the soup were cilantro...another ingredient that can taste like soap to some people who have some kind of olfactory defective gene which detects this soapy taste that others can't sense.
I did finish two big bowls of the soup. I added some Splenda to make it a tad sweeter but now it was a sweeter soapy taste. If it wasn't for the jumbo shrimp which the chef was very generous with, I would have stopped after my first slurp.
A fire extinguisher was needed to douse the flames of a Cornelius J. Zuckerman on Ash Wednesday at St.Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. Due to Covid safety restrictions, Cardinal Dolenz , head honcho at this world famous cathedral ,instead of applying ashes to the forehead of its patrons, sprinkled the ashes in the hair which still symbolically satisfied this religious event.
Mr.Zuckerman's hair burst into flames. He suffered 2nd,3rd, and nth degree burns after receiving these sprinkled ashes. A porter who saw poor Mr. Zuckerman screaming for help grabbed a jug of holy water to quell the uprising flareup . There was no comment available from St.Patricks Cathedral other than it was a blessing that Mr.Zuckerman did not have an afro.
Here's my story, sad but true about some ice cream I once knew It made my taste buds long for more Now I can't find it in the store, Turkey Hill and Jack and Jill are mighty fine and Haagendazs Espresso Chip I can call mine For Polar Bear and Klondke I would cry But what I really miss today is Eskimo Pie. Howard Johnson, Louis Sherry were okay Carvel Ice Cream Cakes I hope are here to stay Ben & Jerry I implore don't leave the scene Or Baskin Robbins, Steve's and Dairy Queen Frusen Gladge and Schrafts are blasts from my past Nestles, Bassets, Cold Stone, and Edy's I doubt will last and though Blue Bunny and Blue Bell won't say goodbye I still could die for an Eskimo Pie .
