The other day (8/10) my Lovely Wife and I celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary. We were mmphkah years old when we married (it is interesting that my LW is still only 20 something).
We spent a quiet day at home with me roasting some beef with baked potatoes and salad plus ice cream for dessert. Most of our anniversaries are spent quietly at home. On one of our anniversaries we went to a riding stable and rode 2 horrible horses named Orville and Peanut; her horse sort of did what my LW wanted but mine felt that he has worked enough for the year.
On our 25th anniversary, we went to a dude ranch in MI, where the horses were much nicer. On our 40th anniversary we went to a dude ranch (Peaceful Valley) in CO. We rode horses at least once a day and had a lot of fun plus there were s'mores and great meals 3 times a day (my LW feels any meal she doesn't have to make is great).
I am very lucky to have such a wonderful LW!
By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. Socrates
Marriage: a book of which the first chapter is written in poetry and the remaining chapters written in prose. Beverly Nichols
If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?
Then there was a man who said, 'I never knew what real happiness was until I got married; by then it was too late.'
My wife and I were happy for 20 years - then we met. Rodney Dangerfield
The secret of a happy marriage remains a secret. Henry Youngman
A good wife always forgives her husband when she's wrong. Milton Berle
Marrying for love may be a bit risky, but it is so honest that God can't help but smile on it. Josh Billings
When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: either the car is new or the wife is.
Do not marry a man to reform him. That is what reform schools are for." Mae West
MARRIAGE, n. The state or condition of a community consisting of a master, a mistress and two slaves, making in all, two. (DD)

Medicine
One of my favorite comedians is Tim Hawkins, above is his video of medicine side effects. There is a pill that now (Seasonique) that reduces the number of periods that women have. If you read the possible side effects they include most common are nausea, vomiting, bleeding or spotting between periods, breast tenderness, and difficulty wearing contact lenses. Isn't bleeding the same as a period?
There are ads for depression meds that list the side effect of suicide and depression. Let's see if I get this; you take this medicine if you are depressed but it causes death & depression!
My lovely wife and I listen to the medicine ads just waiting for the possible side effects and wondering why would anyone take medicines?

Business
No one in the P.O. administration knows anything about business. There are no businessmen in his cabinet or inner circle.
Business is in business to make money. P.O. believes that their purpose is to be taxed or to give jobs to workers. These are only byproducts of a successful business not their goals.
P.O. believes that by raising taxes on businesses he can close the trillions of dollar budget deficit. Businesses are not really taxed! Businesses raise their prices or cut jobs to maintain a profit.
P.O. believes that by making it easier for unions to organize that more jobs will be created. Higher wages and restrictive work rules do not make for more jobs, only a less profitable business which leads to organizations like the auto industries which can not compete with foreign companies which lead to bailouts and fewer jobs.
P.O. believes by taxing small businessmen that the deficit will decrease. People unlike P.O. are not stupid, they will not work of hard or expand if it costs them more than it is worth.
Profits are not evil as P.O. believes. Profits allow expansion and give stock holder money to spend.
Nothing is illegal if a hundred businessmen decide to do it, and that's true anywhere in the world. Andrew Young
There's no business like show business, but there are several businesses like accounting. David Letterman
Catch a man a fish, and you can sell it to him. Teach a man to fish, and you ruin a wonderful business opportunity. Karl Marx
I've got to keep breathing. It'll be my worst business mistake if I don't. Steve Martin
I used to sell furniture for a living. The trouble was, it was my own. Les Dawson
You don't want another Enron? Here's your law: If a company, can't explain, in ONE SENTENCE....what it does....it's illegal. Lewis Black
I think it's wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly. Steven Wright
Big business never pays a nickel in taxes, according to Ralph Nader, who represents a big consumer organization that never pays a nickel in taxes. Dave Barry
Business? It's quite simple. It's other people's money. Alexandre Dumas
business (n)
1 a person's regular occupation, profession, or trade 2 the practice of making one's living by engaging in commerce
ORIGIN Old English bisignis (see busy , -ness ). The sense in Old English was [anxiety] ; the sense [the state of being busy] was used from Middle English down to the 18th cent., but is now differentiated as busyness. The sense [an appointed task] dates from late Middle English , and from it all the other current senses have developed.

Facebook, Soccer Coaches 2, Chain
My lovely wife has signed up for Facebook. She has invited various people to be her "friends" and I think everyone so far has accepted. But she received an email that 7 women and 10 men were searching for her. There were some with pictures but others had the shadowy outlines. I think that it is creepy that people are searching for "her", of course, for only a "small" monthly fee (with super premium to el cheapo levels) she could see who these people were!
***
For those of you who forget *** means a new subject.
***
I have been watching the World Cup and watching the coaches, they wouldn't survive in youth soccer; they just sit there glancing into the ether. Numerous times I have wanted to help the players on the field with my useful commentary but I refrained since they wouldn't listen anyhow!
***
After bicycling to the YMCA to bring my lovely wife her Y bag or actually as I was on the Y driveway, I heard a bad noise and my pedaling had no effect. My chain broke! It was at the furthest distance I was going to be from my house. 5 or 5.5 miles away, and I very dark cloud appeared. So I got to walk home pushing my bike, plus sometime during the trip I lost my chain!

Amazon
Amazon has a section where they recommend items based on your previous purchases. They recommended "Smallville: The Complete Ninth Season" for me even though I have said that I was not interested in any of Seasons 1-8. They recommended "George Lopez - The Complete First and Second Seasons" because I bought various Gilmore Girls seasons, however, Gilmore Girls is a comedy/drama that was very well done with mature humor whereas, Lopez is slapstick.
"Jack the Ripper" because of "You Only Live Twice"(James Bond) is there any connection that normal people can find? "Alien Nation - The Complete Series" because of "Greatest American Hero"? "The Complete UFO Megaset" because of "Our Man Flint"? "Mannequin & Mannequin 2: On the Move" because of "Due South"? "Grey's Anatomy: The Complete Seasons 1-5" even though I told them I wasn't interested in seasons 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5!
I also like there search engine. I was searching for "Swedish Music" and the "Dumb and Dumber" DVD came up as one of the items. Searching for "Castle Season 2" bought up "Married with Children - The Complete Fifth Season" (not seasons 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 but 5) in the first page.
Of course, some of the recommendations make sense and the search comes up with the items you may like most of the time.

recommend (v) 1 put forward (someone or something) with approval as being suitable for a particular purpose or role • advise or suggest (something) as a course of action • [ trans. ] advise (someone) to do something • make (someone or something) appealing or desirable

Coaching Soccer
In my daughter's blog she said "I think this must be why my Dad coached his kids' soccer teams--to give him an excuse to be the one yelling on the sidelines."
I admit that I did keep up a steady stream of "helpful" coaching from the sidelines. The reasons for coaching probably included the "yelling" part. I think that if I was to coach another team of very young kids; I would encourage the kids to talk to each other on the field. Young kids quite often keep talking and talking, but put them on a soccer field and they will not talk to each other. In soccer other players can help their teammates by telling them that an opponent is coming up to them or that a teammate is open square, etc..
I also coached because I like sports and spending time with my kids. I was introduced to soccer at a later age, it is a sport I probably could have been good at if I had started at a early age. Running and thinking are a couple of my strong points.
Plus my kids were/are good at soccer.
To get back to the "yelling/coaching". I also believe that the kids on the field don't really hear us!

Competence
In many of my jobs, I was very competent. In the Navy, I was an excellent EOOW (Engineering Officer of the Watch - in charge of the sub's nuclear plant). In my NRC days, I was probably the best Nuclear Simulator operator licensing engineer. When I was an instructor, I was very good at the simulator.
The Chicago Blackhawks are very competent at playing hockey as shown by their Stanley Cup victory. My wife is very competent in most every thing she does. My kids are extremely competent as parents.
Why can't we have a competent President? P.O. has failed as an ambassador for the US (he apologizes every where he goes for our faults(or at least his opinion of what are faults)), he has basically bankrupted the country with his budget (my grandkids and their kids will be paying for it), he has failed in protecting the country, and he has failed in his handling of the gulf oil spill.
P.O. is in over his head. He has never run anything. I thought he was at least competent; boy was I wrong! The Peter Principle at its finest!
“Never ascribe to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence” Napoleon Bonaparte
“A competent leader can get efficient service from poor troops, while on the contrary an incapable leader can demoralize the best of troops.” John J. Pershing
“The only foes that threaten America are the enemies at home, and these are ignorance, superstition and incompetence.” Elbert Hubbard
No human being will work hard at anything unless they believe that they are working for competence. William Glasser
Sincerity and competence is a strong combination. In politics, it is everything. Peggy Noonan
The single most exciting thing you encounter in government is competence, because it's so rare. Daniel P. Moynihan
Equal opportunity means everyone will have a fair chance at being incompetent.~Laurence J. Peter
Everyone rises to their level of incompetence. ~Laurence J. Peter
Incompetents invariably make trouble for people other than themselves.~Larry McMurtry
competence (n) 1 the ability to do something successfully or efficiently • the scope of a person's or group's knowledge or ability • a skill or ability. • the legal authority of a court or other body to deal with a particular matter
2 dated an income large enough to live on, typically unearned
ORIGIN late Middle English (in the sense [suitable, adequate] ): from Latin competent-, from the verb competere in its earlier sense ‘be fit or proper’ (see compete ).

BH Town
I listen to a lot of sports talk radio. It is usually interesting when the local teams are losing. At the beginning of the hockey season, you could not find any hockey talk on the radio. After all, there were the Bears, Bulls, White Sox & Cubs talk to talk about.
But now all you can hear is the Blackhawks' players or experts talking about the Hockey season. For those of you who do not follow sports, the (hated) Blackhawks are in the Stanley Cup Final with a 2-0 games lead.
Those of us who are Redwing fans, it is very boring talk. Last year when the Redwings & PIT were in the finals there was little talk about it, after the BH's lost. My son is a big BH fan, whereas, my son-in-law is a RW fan. Unfortunately, for us the BH have a very good young team who will probably be good for a long time. But we RW fans' hope is that we will raise again!
Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps.- Tiger Woods
I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out. - Rodney Dangerfield
All hockey players are bilingual. They know English and profanity.- Gordie Howe
A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be. - Wayne Gretzky
Ice hockey is a form of disorderly conduct in which the score is kept. - Doug Larson
Hockey players wear numbers because you can’t always identify the body with dental records
”A fast body--contact game played by men with clubs in their hands and knives laced to their feet.” - Paul Gallico
Goaltending is a normal job, sure. How would you like it in your job if every time you made a small mistake, a red light went on over your desk and 15,000 people stood up and yelled at you.” - Jacques Plante
”It takes brains. It's not like a forward, where you can get away with scoring and not play defense. On defense you have to be thinking.” - Chris Chelios
”My former wife made me a millionaire. I used to have three million dollars.”- Bobby Hull
ice hockey (n) a fast contact sport played on an ice rink between two teams of six skaters, who attempt to drive a small rubber disk (the puck) into the opposing goal with hooked or angled sticks. It developed in Canada in the 19th century

What's going on?
I heard a radio news item that a person was arrested for throwing a rock at a Goose and killing it after someone called the police. There was another item that a gang banger on his death bed refused to name his killer.
Both of these stories occurred on the South Side of Chicago. The south side is notorious for gangs and murders. Another thing they're renowned for is not talking to the police. There are numerous killings there but no one will "rat" on the killers! And yet a goose gets a call to the police!
Chicago's Mayor Daley (a dem of course) wants to outlaw guns for the normal people who only want to be able to defend themselves. He is doing nothing to get the guns away from the gangs or crooks.
I love animals (but not mosquitoes) but feel that human life is more important. What's going on here?
Chicago has 2.7 times the national average for murders; 2.18 times the national average for violent crimes.
murder (n) the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another
ORIGIN Old English morthor, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch moord and German Mord, from an Indo-European root shared by Sanskrit mará ‘death’ and Latin mors; reinforced in Middle English by Old French murdre.
